Failure of Regents to Act on Matter
Delegates Discussion to Ati-
letic Board
ACTION ON INTERSCHOlASTIC
EXPECTED IN NEXT FEW DAYS
Held First Week-End in June Last
Year; Probable Date This
Season
Following the Regents' meeting of
last Friday in which no action was
taken on this year's interscholastic,
an executive meeting of the board in
control of athletics will probably be
called within the next few days to
take up the question.
Last year's inter~scholastic -meet was
held the first Friday and Saturday in
June. It is. expected that the annual
high and prep school games will be
put on about the same time this year.
For this reason the matter must be
disposed of w/ithin the next few days
if the games are to be a reality again
ts year. -
Director Bartelme, who is also a
member of the board, stated that the
meeting would be called for the pur-
pose of passing upon the question. No
intimation as to how the board ,will
act has been given out from any
source.

Lundgren Falls. Before Farrell
Bullock; Weather Prohibits
Practice
Coach Carl Lundgren defended the
indoor checker title a.gainst all corners
except Steve Farrell and Caretaker
Bullock in the Ferry field clubhouse
yesterday afternoon. That was the
nearest approach to Varsity baseball
action that the day afforded.
There was no practice. The ground
was soft and the wind swept so freak-
ishly over the field that the law and
engineering 'drill companies were
given the freedom of the whole lot by
the knights of the diamond. This rest
6ught to ease up a bit on the team's
crop of charley horses, caused by
working in the raw weather of the
last few days.
Nothing has yet been lined up in
the way of competition for Saturday,
but the All-fresh may be taken into
camp for a game today, if play is pos-
sible. The Varsity still is aching to
hook up against the Reserves some
.time this week.
Guy Reem, who suffered a sprained
ankle last week, is out now without
crutches and may be in play again
by Monday.
ENGLISH RACES FOR 1917
CANCELED BY JOCKEY CLUB
London, May 1.-The stewards of
the Jockey club, at the instance of
the government, have canceled all the
1917 racing fixtures which were to
have been run after the first spring
meetinig. The step was taken with a
view to saving foodstuffs which are
now diverted to the racing stables.
The cancellation of the summer rac-
ing dates will prevent the running of
such classic events as the Derby, the
Oaks, the Ascot Derby, the Eclipse,
the Jockey club and the St. Leger
stakes.
Morse Wins Two Sprints In One Meet
Roy F. Morse, the colored sprinter',
former Junior 100 and senior national
champion, showed a return to form
yesterday in the first set of member$'
games of the Salem-Crescent Athletic
club at Macomb's Dam park. Morse
accounted for the principal honors in
two of the five events which made up
the "program, and finished in third
position in another. His victories were
annexed in thd 100 and 220 ya'rd sprint
races, and in the running broad Jump
he was placed third with an actual
jump of 17 feet 4 inches.

ters in track athletics.

REJECT ATHLETES BECAUSE
OF OVERSTRAINED HEARTS
New York, May 1.--A large number
of college athletes have been rejected
from the officers' reserve corps be-
cause of overstrained hearts, accord-
ing to Capt. Arthur F. Crosby, in
charge of the recruiting. More than
8,000 men have already enlisted in
the corps.
Display Collection of Oil Pninitigs
A collection of oil paintings by Prof-.
L. A. Makielski of the architectural
drawing department is being exhibited
at the DeFries' art store, 223 South
Main street. The public is invited to
attend.
Dale Maltby was unable to put his
proteges through the regular paces
yesterday in preparation for the sec-
ond tussle between the freshmen and
the Varsity, which battle will occur
today if the weather changes for the
better.
The coach expects to play nearly
all the men who appeared against the
Vars-ity in the initial game last week
with perhiaps one or two changes.
Wimbles is back again and will prob-
ably be seen cavorting around second
base this afternoon. Genebach will
start as catcher and with Sterrett will
share the honors in the backstop posi-
tion. The recently discovered whirl-
wind, Bowerman, will be used by the
coach to take care of the right field,
while Sheldon will cover the center
field position. Knode, Froemke, Gil-
martin and Van Boven will play their
old positions of left field, third base,
first base and shor t stop, respectively.
Maltby is thinking of again using
one of the Varsity men to do the hurl-
ing. Ruzicka will probably appear
against his teammates agaiei.
The question of numerals for the
1920 baseballers will come up for ac-
tion before the executive committee
of the board in control of athletics,
which meets the latter part of this
week. Director of Athletics Bartelme
could make no definite statement in
regard to this matter and said that it
was in the power of the committee
entirely.
PLAY ,SEMI-FINALS
IN TENNIS TOURNEY

Others Win with Good
Margins
In the Tennis club tournament the
scheduled matches are being cleaned
off the slate rapidly, and the series is
nearing the final round, the semifin-
als coming today.
With the exception of the Kelsey-
Harrison match the sets were hard
played but resulted in one-sided
scores, Westbrook, Egbert, and Bartz
winning easily. In the battle between
Kelsey and Harrison, the former was
unable to stave off the attack of his
opponent, although playing an ex-
cellent defensive game. Harrison's
over-head wvork turned the tide in his
favor and spelled defeat for' his ad-
versary.
The results of the matches are as
follows: Kelsey and Harrison, 6-3,
9-7; Egbert and Breakey, 6-1, 6-1;
Westbrook and Shield, 6-1, 6-0; Bartz
and Davidson, 6-2, 6-4.
The semifinal matches scheduled for
today, are: Egbert playing Harrison,
and Westbrook playing Bartz.
