HI, PASO, Fob. It. — The sheepskin
coal, officially permitted, although not
yet accepted as a part of regulation
dress, has come into the army to stay,
according to officers here who are in
a position to know. This means that
the handsome, long overcoat of Rus
sian style will be abandoned, at least
as a part of the campaign uniform and
may disappear altogether, for it has
proved itself unable both on the bor
der and in Mexico, to withstand cam
paign conditions, just as the same type
of coat railed when put to the test
by the British army in France.
The sheepskin coat is a jacket like
garment, lined inside with warm fleece
and covered outside with waterproofed
canvas. Its pockets are larger and
more conveniently placed than an
overcoat's, and are as warm for the
hands as muffs. It has no skirts to
wrap about the legs when on the
march and makes a snug sleeping sack
in the field. The broad fleece collar,
that completely protects the back and
sides of the head, is not the least of
its advantages over the regulation
coat.
The present army overcoat was
adapted from the Russian by the Brit
ish army tailor, who at President
Roosevelt's bidding designed the uni
forms that superceded the old “car
conductor” styles of '!l8. In form and
color it is almost the same as the
British had at the outbreak of the
European war. But the British Tom
mies soon took to cutting the skirts
off at the knees to escape the weight
of accumulating trench mud. The
same inconveniences have been felt
by the American soldiers on the
border.

JUAREZ, Feb. 3.—"El (’ampo San
to,” or Sacred Ground, of Juarez has
had to be enlarged because of the six
years of revolution that caused so
many executions and untimely violent
deaths. It is now double the size of
the little plot of sterile and unlovely
ground on the mesa south of the town
that once sufficed for the burial of
the dead.
In the center of the field of bright
ly painted crosses, frequently hung
with equally brightly puiuted wreaths
of tin flow'ers, stands a rectangular
adobe house, whitewashed and pock
marked with the bullet holes of many
executions. It is against the west wall
of this house that the condemned is
stood, facing the firing squad. It
saves time in disposing of the body
for the open grave always is ready.
When Francisco Villa ruled in Jua
rez and most of northern Mexico it
is said that hundreds of military pris
oners and civilians were put to death
against the wall of the adobe house.
Immediately after his capture of the
town forty-eight were executed and
buried in one large grave. Since the
Villa occupation "El Oampo Santo”
gradually has resumed its normal as
pect.

(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3. — The
women students of the University of
Wisconsin have sent out a circular let
ter for the purpose of sounding the
sentiment of other coedurational Insti
tutions as to the advisability of hold
ing a convention of women’s athletic
associations among the western col
leges.
This letter has been mailed to 23
colleges in the middle and far west.
It asks information concerning the na
ture and methods of the various or
ganizations. Replies received thus far
have been ravorable, and it is said
that in all likelihood the first of these
conventions will be held at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
The institutions to which th? ques
tionnaire was sent include Stanford
University, Mills College of Califor
nia, Northwestern University, Uni
versity of Chicago, Rockford College,
lie Pauw University, Purdue Univer
sity, Milwaukee-Downer College, Ober
lln College, Washington University
of St. Louis, Cornell University, and
the state universities of California,
Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri,
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Min
nesota, Ohio and Texas.
The absence of international com- 1
petition due to the war has made for !
activity in intersectional contests and I
in this respect polo will lie no cxcep- I
tion. Pacific coast players are strong- | I
ly in favor of these games and are
said to have pledged themselves to
support any move which may be made >
in this direction. <
According to coast players, the Na- I
tional Polo Association is arranging I
for an international tourney. Teams *
from ail over the United States will 1
be invited to compete. From present I
indications the games will be held on «
the field of one of the large eastern
country clubs. 1
According to the announcement, the '■
entire expenses of all visiting teams I
will be defrayed by the national body i
rut of a fund set aside for the purpose I
if encouraging the sport. 1
Players of southern California are
endeavoring to work up interest in i
the coming tournament all along the i
Pacific coast. Judging from the num- i
ber of teams that have already de- *
Glared their intentions of entering the <
'tournament, ^ake at least ten
days, and probably two weeka, to run
oft the affair.
Pncific coast teams have announced
that they would take part In the tour
narnent, and clubs in all the big cities
of the United States have done the
same. Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago,
New York, Kansas City and St. Louis
will be represented if present plans
are carried out.
The students of Stanford university
are anxious to have swimming includ
ed in the select list of recognized in
tercollegiate sports, and with this end
in view Is seeking the opinion of other
Pacific coast institutions. Correspon
dence bas been opened with the prin
cipal universities and colleges of Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington. In
the event that sentiment is favorable,
it is the intention of Graduate Man
ager Karl C. Behrens, of Stanford, to
proceed with plans for Pacific coast
intercollegiate swimming meet.
Far western golf professionals are
said to be discussing plans to organ
ize as a measure of self protection
against the alleged tendency toward
decreasing salaries and curtailing
their perquisites in the last three
years.
The claim is made that golf offi
cials in general fail to appreciate what
i good professional means to a dub
)r how long it takes to acquire the
?xpert knowledge necessary to in
itruet in the game, keep up the
tourses and greens, and advise in all
natters pertaining to the game.
The professionals say that certain
lerquisttes which they considered us
heirs, such as selling clubs, balls and
10 on, have recently been taken over
ly clubs, the profits being applied to
lelp out on the running expenses of
he clubs.
Tlte invitation sent by Princeton
iniversity to the Stanford track men,
sking that they make the Tiger cam
ms their headquarters in the event
hat a team is sent east, and at the
ante time requesting that a dual meet
le arranged between the two insti
utions, lias met with a warm wel
ome on the Cardinal quadrangle.
Undergraduate sentiment is strong
y in favor of sending a team east this
eason. Last year Stanford competed
n the intercollegiate championships
n the Harvard stadium and tied with
he University of California for fourth
dace. Graduate Manager Karl C.
Jehrens already is taking steps to
letermine the feasibility of sending
i representative team east. With fac
dty consent obtained the principal
tumbling block would be the matter
it finances.
