Despite the first activities of the marines on the diamond, the natives, remained indifferent. They made a few timid trials of the game, but proved rank novices, although across the border in Santo Domingo the natives were able to furnish the leatherneck teams with the scrap- piest class of opposition. To Lieutenant Paul J. Halloran, civil engineer corps of the navy, and district engineer at Gonaives, goes the palm for finally putting baseball on the H: mn map. An old Dartmouth star, he re- fused to accept the dictum that a Haitian could not play the game, Out of his clerical force he recruited a corps of volunteers, whose puzzled ices plainly registered the question: “What's it all about?” Halloran Proceeded to tell them. Suddenly, out of the chaos, Gon- aives fell, and fell hard. The gend- armes stationed there caught the fever. A visiting battleship came to Halloran’s timely aid with a supply of baseball material, which en un- feeling government promptly taxed, and Gendarmerie Headquarters kicked in with more material. The gendarmes blossomed out with caps of red and blue, and the diamond behind their caserne vibrates daily to the Creole equivalent of baseball slang. Not to be outdone, Colonel Louis M. Gulick, commanding the Marine Brigade, has arranged to send a jicked team from his outfit to do ttle with one from the American officers of the Gendarmerie at Gon- aives, to demonstrate to its hectic fans the full thrills of the national | game.

Big Ten athletic directors and jeoaches have decided that booing and hissing must go and are ready to take drastic steps, if necessary, to stop jeering.

This is the opinion \of Otto Peltzer, holder of the world’s record for the 1500 meter distance. | “In sporting circles the question | is much argued whether hard or| |light training is the better means of | | preparing for hig contests,” Pel j observ “T have been ‘criti | |for training as hard as I do. But) |what. of the Finns, who proportion- ately develop more and better ath-| |letes than any other nation? | know how to train harder than any nation. Opinion Is Sensible | “The question is in my opinion) | not one of the relative merits of two| | methods of training, but of a sensible} jattitude toward competition in| |sports, TI don’t believe that Martin | Lloyd Hahn or Koernig really} trained too hard. They could not | jachieve victory at Amsterdam be- jeause they were too high favorites, | | because they had hardly anything to gain over their previous records bi on the contrary too much to lose.” Peltzer believes that the best way | to gain the psychological frame of| mind for achieving outstanding suc- cesses is to appear in contest after contest, even if one knows in ad- yance that one will be beaten. “Only if one has become used to defeats one’s nerves be in condition at to do the big decisive moments thing,” he believes, Referring to his own failure at Amsterdam, Peltzer says the doc- tors told him before the Olympics But he entered nevertheless in order to get his nerves used to defeat. Competition Is Good . “My recent experience has anew convinced me that the numerous competitions do not interfere with the quality of one’s performances,” Peltzer concludes. “Within ten days I won: five international victories and secured two good seconds. “If one can enter every contest unconcerned as to victory or defeat, numerous col..petitions won't hurt. On the other hand, if one must every time. go through the nervous sus- pense of contests that are advertised in an exaggerated manner as sen- sations, a few races a year can com- pletely ruin a track athlete. One reason why Williams, the Olympic 200 meter victor, wins is because he is entirely, unconcerned. “ant oD eRe tt baseball is to the United Por ie sige Hungery Nek ‘s stars |South Dakota State Has Five FAMED RUNNERS | They | bi en Courts HEYDLER, NATIONAL ___WAS ONCE SPORTS WRITER AND UMP COLUMBUS T0 PLAY RABBITS Veterans for 1929 Basket- ball Squad Brookings, S. D., Dec. 5.—The curtain on the basket ball season at uth Dakota State College will ise on the evening of Dec. 14 with a game between the Jackrabbits and Columbus Mariners, Basketball practice got under-way with a bang Monday when five vet- erans who have been playing foot- ball reported for the first time and went through their paces with the rest of the s aptain Roman Schaefer, Pat , Lemme Herting, Weert Sngelmann and Harry Baker were the lettermen who reported last night for the first time. All are in good shape physically except Baker who is bothered with a football in- jury Although several men from last year’s squad were lost, Edmonds has a veteran for each position as a nucleus around ich to build a team. Schaefer and Nicholson have two and one year of experience re- spectively as forwards. Engelmann and Baker alternated at the center ing marked development and finally landing a job on the second all-con- ference team. Anybody that wants to play guard on Edmonds’ team this ar will have to steal the jobs away ‘om Herting and Krug. Krug has played two years and Lemme Hert- ing held down a back court position so well last year that he was a unanimous choice for all-conference honors. Among the new men who are like- ly to break into the line-up are Hamann of New Ulm, Carey of | Salem, Morris of Westport, Norvold of Volga, Lewi; of Florence and Col- by_of Brookings. Edmonds is expecting the tough- est kind of opposition from Colum- us. The Mariners have lettermen back for every position and will pre- sent pra lly the same line-up, ex- cept Captain O’Leary, that bhttled State so closely here last year. Wel- sandt and Paukert, two veterans, are available for center. Baillie, all- conference forward for three years, is still on deck, with Leahy, a letter- man, as his running mate. Coughlin and Captain-elect Morrison are a pair of good, experienced guards. Following the Columbus game, the Jackrabbits journey to Lincoln to play the University of Nebraska on December 20.

National League club owners as a very able league chief, His name is John A. Heydler He has been connected with the Ni tional League as an executive for 26 years, the last 10 years as presi- dent. He will be up for reelection at the annual league meeting, De- cember 11. The probability is that he not only will be reelected, but that his contract will be renewed for a longer period than at any other time in his career. As the baseball jargon goes, John A. Heydler has somewhat of a record asa pinch-hitter. It was his pinch- hitting, not a player but n authority, that enabled him to work into the game _as an executiv Was Sports Writer ty C.

Meanwhile - Mr. Heydler handled much of the executive rou- tine and became acting . president again when, in August, 1918, Gover- nor Tener resigned. At the annual meeting in December that -year Mr. Heydler was elected president for a term of three years. In. 1920, although he had another year of his term to serve, the club owners re- elected him for three additional Then in 1924 they re-elected him for a term of four year: Heydler is the league’s eighth president.

Georgia Tech hasn't been beaten or held to a tie. And that should give the southerners a clear title to first place. New York and Car- negie Tech were beaten. And that should put them in a tie for a close second. Carnegie Tech against Notre Dame was one of the most perfect teams I ever have seen. They looked like a team that couldn’t be beaten. New York in beating Carnegie was per- fection. It was hard to imagine how any team that functioned as they did could be beaten by any team that ever played. And in los- ing team looks good because few losing teams against impossible odds have the heart that Carnegie has. Mr. Grant Rice saw the Georgia Tech team against the strong Van- derbilt team and he remarked to the writer during the New York-Car- negie gamé that Georgia Tech im- Pressed him in that game as a team that couldn’t be beaten. But after the game he said he didn’t know what would happen in a game be- tween New York and the southern stars. New York Edge in East In the east New York probably will be given the edge over Carnegie in the final rating because the one game that New York lost—to eorgetown-—was lost by a miser- able break on a fumble after New York had distinctly outplayed the victors in ever department of the game. But the score board tells. Carnegie lost to New Yo: an excuse although it wi that a very great team h: red a great down after the Notre Dame game. New York has one of th halfbacks that ever carried’s Tait fbac pater carried a ball. € is, in our opinion, a greater artis: than Red Grange or Red Ci gle and we happen to be one of the fortun- ates who saw Grange, in his greatest game against Michigan when he ran for four touchdowns in eleven min- utes of the first quarter. Strong Best of All The New York halfback is Ken Strong, a young fellow who weighs 201 sponds stripped, who can do the hundred in 10 seconds and who is a magnificent broken-field runner and line plunger, a superb passer, a ter- rifie kicker and one of the fine blockers ‘and defensive men you have seen. If he isn’t first choice—above Cagle—for the All-America back- field the thing ought to be abolished. New York has two perior tackles in Lassman and Gra fine ends in Nemecek and Barrabee ine halfback in Hill. one of the finest tackles I hi seen this year and Nemecek looked just as Fesler, the Ohio State end, who is being boosted for one of the wing positions on the All-Amer- Ica.

Pennsylvania is the only’ team in the coi dispute the southerner’s c! best backfield unit in the country. Strong and Mizell are the aces of their teams and two of the three best backs in the country.

Although: Bradley and Lombard usually have speedy quintets, the game with North Dakota is expected to be the toughest practice game on the Illinois schedule this season and should go a long way toward put- ting the Illini in shape for the hard conference schedule, Coach Ruby has veterans of last season back this winter, in addi- tion to four reserves of one year ago six sophomores who were out- nding players on the freshman outfit last season, With these men the Illini mentor is expected to round out a 5] team and make a far better g_in the confer- ence race than last winter when Illi- nois won but two out of 12 confer- ence games.
