(By Associated Tress) ' ,
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.?The decision t
of the Inter-collegiate Rowing Asso-11.
, . itation to reduce the varsity championship
race from (our to three miles t
calls attention to the fact that this is I r
t. but one of several changes made from R
time to time in the Poughkeepaie pro- a
gram. The history of the regatta r
' dates bach to 1895 when the first four- j p
otiic race was staged upon the Hudson, t
A year later tho two mile race for; t
.' (reshman crews was added and in 1898 | n
Columbia. Pennsylvania und Cornell | r
Incorporated the association. r
The same season the regatta was b
^".transferred. from Pnughkeepsio to
8aratoga Lake and the length of the c
'varsity race cut to three miles. Eigh- t
teen hundred ninety-nine saw the s
V crews back on the Hudson again e
' where the four-mile event was re- I
stored and a two-mile race for 'varsity
fours added to the program. In 1901 t
a one-mile single scull race was fca- e
lured and was won by C. E. Goodwin, e
Of Syracuse University in 9 m. 32 3-5 h
? . seconds, but the event was not revived ( s
Hi? following RRB.nnu Hfif-lnI /
- the 1914 regatta a two mile race for t
junior eights was substituted for thu
j ' 'varsity lour event to be followed threo
years later by the change in the main
contest of the regatta. The accom- g
' panylng table shows the complete rec- s
ord of changes since the first regatta p
t of the organization: u
- Four-mile Varsity eights ? Begun b
1895; discontinued. 1916; best record, tl
Udl 68 l-6s.; holder, Cornell, (1901). p

arly on the day set for the annual

tenble In the face of such a volume or
rgent business to devote all the time {
itssible for the proper consideration
f it by the executive committee.
It Is practically certain that when
he new amateur rule is brought boore
the main body it will bo of such a ,
Irastic character, that a compromi .0 J
ncasure will be suecsted to the ef-.
ect that the amended rule should not'

A change in the system of holding . 1
he doubles championship at a tourna-!
sent other than that at which the sin- i
les title is to be decided, will be anther
suggestion which is not likely to!
ri?et with much opposition. The chain-;,
ilonshtp team will bo rquired to play j j

Here's a Good Way to Stop Loss of
Hair and Start New Hair
Growth.
If your hair is falling or thinning
lut, don't wait another day, but go to
he Mountain City Drug company and
;et a bottle of Parisian Sage, the tru
y efficient hair grower.
Don't say: "It's the same old story;
've heard it before." but try a bottle
it their risk. They guaranteo Pariian
Sage to grow hair, to stop falling
tair, to cure dandruff and stop scalp
tch, or money back.
Parisian Sage contains just the
loments needed to properly lnvigorite
and nourlBh the hair roots. It's a
irimo favorito with discriminating lalies
because it makes the hair soft,
iright, and appear twice as abundant.
Parisian Sage is inexpensive and
asily obtainable at all drug stores.

the West Virginia University football
team and a senior In the university
this year- has been decided upon by J?'
the athletic authorities as coach of the ?'J
(reshman football team at the unlver- wj
sfty for 1917. Cheneweth has not been w'
formally elected, but the ratification
of his appointment is practically assured.
He came to the university from '''
Flroaddus Institute at Phlllppi four *>h
years ago and, while always a rella- *?
bin and heady player, his generalship,
handling of punta and all-round football
ability gained for him the undisputed
place at quarterback for the AllWest
Virginia team during the past
two years. In addition, he is a base- Ht
ball and basketball pluyer of ability. (-'?
The position l'or which Cheneweth
has been selected is a now one. While
technically coach of the freshmau.
football squad, he will act as assistant
to Head Coaches Tobin and Mcln-i
tire; will do "scouting" for the car-,
sit\ 011 every Saturday when his team tb
has no game and in addition, will. Uti
