BY WALTER ECKERSALL Among the galaxy of stars who will compete in the annual indoor track and field games of the Milrose A. C. in New York Wednesday night will be Earl Eby, formerly of the Uni- versity of’ Pennsylvania, who A. A., and Joie Ray of the Illinois A. C., probably the great- est middle distance runner of Eby is.a former captain of the Penn team and Curing his coliRege days was looked upon as the best half miler in the east While competing for the Quaker institution Earl won two legs on the Millrose trophy of- fered for the 600-yard run. This was back in 1920 and 1921. He has been out of competition for a year but there is little question he will step just as fast as ever. The Cherry Circle runner has gone about his conditioning systematical- ly. For weeks he worked in the Chi- cago A. A, gymnasium and engaged in only short jogs on the track. Most of his training was done with the pulley weights and no efforts were made to run fast quarter miles or even run a full 600 yards at a fast cllp. = Record in Trial. In order to satisfy himself and his friends, Eby journcyed to the Univer sity of Chicago symnasium recently and ¢ecided to run a quarter mile. In fact he felt so good he told Tom Eck, coach of the Maroon long distance runners, he would break the traci record. The veteran trainer laughed at this statement, but acreed to hold the watch. 8. H. Darwent, coach of the Cherry Circle team, held another and one of the Chicago team held the third timepiece. Eby was sent away by the shot of @ pistol and surprised the spectators with a terrific burst of speed. The harp turns did not bother him, and when he had breasted: the tape, the three timers agreed Eby had stepped the distance in :51 2-5. This broke the former track record of :51 4-5 | made by Binga Dismond, the great colored foot racer, 2 few years back. Following this exhibition, Eby as serted he felt strong enough to step the remaining 160 yards. In fact he sala he could have floated through the extra yardage without a great effort. If Eby can win the 600-yard event on Wednesday night he will blast one of the old theories of some coaches that a runner cannot come ‘ack after a layoff of a year or more. If-the Cherry Circlo pect as ccessful in winning the las' pS the trophy, which will give him permanent possession of & prize sought after by numbers of athlete: he will remain in training for the Central A. A. U. indoor track anc field championships and also for the national senior title events in Chicago ter tof August. ps ning to Eby he wall be pitted ‘against Suttner of Syracuse univer aity, who won the event Iast year, Helifrich of Penn State, Tom Camp- bell of Yale, and Wolters, the great Ames runner, who won the quarter and half-mile runs in the western conference outdoor mest last June. Ray, who hopes to -be good enough to make the 1924Olympi cteam, which will compete in France, will be a con: testant in the one-mile invitation run. Ray is a real competitor. He has shown thig on so many occasion that he 1s looked upon as almost a sure winner every time he steps up to the mark. For the last ten years he has stood supreme in his specialty, and he hag traveled from coast to coast to meet the best selected by those in of indoor and outdoor meets. Jole will be pitted against Wharton of the C. A, A., who was.a member of the University of Illinois team which established a new worl¢’s four mile record at the Drake: games last April, ‘Ray Watson, another middle west runner who broke into the spotlight while competing for the Kansas Agri cultural college, will run in the three- quarter-mile invitation. Watson ‘5 completing for the Illinois A. C. ‘and is a valuable acquisition to the hicago organization Derry Alberts, former University of Tilinoia high jumper, who is a member of the Chicagoa A. A. team, was invited for the running high jump, but cannot make the trip be- cause of business reasons. Osborne, another Lilinois. university athlete who is competing for the Illinois A. , Will be among the starters in the event.

FOR PLAYERS OF WHIST Sy A.R.METCALFE QUICK THINKING BY DECLAKER 18 ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, A beautiful play {s reported from Lake Forest, the situation involved being in some respects different from any hitherto published. Quick think- ing on the part of the declarer is ab- solutely necessary when situations come up which are entirely out of the ordinary. Seore, 0-0. ‘West dealt and bid one no trump, which closed the bidding. North had | East showed good judgment in not bidding diamonds“over his partner's no trump. With magnificent aasist- ance for a no trump it was still pos- sible that the game might not be won with diamonds and he trusted his partner. The latter repaid the trust by his excellent play at trick L. It was easy to reason that the declarer could win the first trick with a knave of diamonds, Had. he.done.so no other diamond trick could have been won by dummy’s hand nor could the de- clarer have secured game against careful play by the adversaries. With two reentries in dummy the declarer could afford to allow the ace and queen of diamonds to win and by so doing made eleven tricks a certain- ty against any possible ray by the adversaries, A very pretty p'ay for games is shown in the next deal. THE HANDS, S—K, 7, 5, Second game, north and south hav- ing won the first, west dealt and bid three hearts, which closed the bidding. North had the original lead. The obvious play for the declarer after trumping the ace of clubs was to take two rounds of trumps, leav- ing the lead in dummy, then make two clubs on which two spades would be discarded, and try for the diamond suit, / That line of play appears sourid at first glance, for the reason .that east could trump the third round of @amondi Had the declarer attempt- ed such @ scheme north would have thwarted it by leading a trump after the first round of diamonds, and north and south would eventually have secured four tricks and saved the game. Instead of this, west planned to make the club suit by putting dummy in, trumping a small club, and again putting dummy in with a small trump. It was necessary to use a high trump at trick one, and the declarer had sufficient foresight for the emergency. North perceived the declarer’s in- tention, but was unable to prevent the seven of hearts becoming a re- entry in the dummy. The declarer finally secured eleven trick in spite of a most unfavorable distribution of cards, ea ae St RY Nebraska Beats Grinnell, GRINNELL, Iowa, Jan, 27,—After an even start Nebraska’s basketball quintet gathered spoed In the second half and defeated nnell college by a score of 20 to 13.

Univers'ty of Wisconsin is , not| athletic restric- tion or any curtailment atta’ upon the footbal! schedule beyond a return to sane schedules and troning out the evils of the sport. Nor is the wonderful man making factory on the wooded hills surround 4 by beautiful lakes planning to Umit attendance or quarreling over comparative salaries. Her leaders are determined to give Wisconsin the best coaches she can employ, preferably Wisconsin men, and provide accom- modations for the entire state, With the faculty in entire accord with what is perhaps the most com- prehens{vely administered physical education program in the United States, with the president favorable, but not enthusiastic, and with re- gents, students, alumni and even the legislature sold on the idea that athletics, intramural and _ intercol- legiate, are vital to the scheme of education, and with on'y a small and usually silent group of professors theoretically and not actively op- posed, Wisconsin would be perfectly happy If it could find the right coach. Great Physical Program. There ts no d’vision in Wisconsin as to the purposes and aims of educa- tion of the p'ace of athletics and rhysical education. The idea {s to train and send out better citizens and to serve the entire state. Ne!ther ts there any doubt but that footbal! ts the soul of the entire physical pro- .sram, that tt $s good for players, good for the entire student body, a healthy source of revenue, an inspiration to the young men and boys, toward edu- cation, Wiscons'n was the first of the mid- western schools and one of the first in America to recognize phystcal.edu- cation and to incorporate it in the university courses. In 1911 it estab- Ushed a course in training, physical educators, play, and recreation. Plan Is Simple. ‘Wisconsin’s plan is s'mple—and ef- fective. There is no ath'etic associa- tion; athletics are part of the untver- sity. There is a council, composed of six faculty members, headed by Prof. Pyre, one alumni representative, and one undergrad, the head of the stu- ent council. The president and re- génts choose the six faculty represen- tatives. The receipts from all sports go into the university treasury and fire used for athletic opments. Lucky school! The capitol is on the next hill the legislators see the results —and aro fairly liberal in making ap- propriations. Fortunately Wisconsin {s a great out-door university, having the Iake washing the campus. But for the magnificent development of winter sports on land and on the lake the Badgers would be in bad shape, for the gymnasium and swimming pool equipment {s not half whats needed. The women are better fixed, but the old gymnasium and annex are over- crowded, with more than 2,000 ath- letes a day working fn every tnch of avatisble space. ‘Wisconsin {s a great natural play field; with four lakes, a serion of wooded hills; a level valley to be Iald off in playing fie'ds, ‘They have now thirty-three acres at Camp Randall, in the valley, the lower campus right at the doors of the gym. For winter sports they havo the frozen ‘Inke, ‘They have more than one thousand skaters, Tho big winter events are hockey and the February carnival with skating, skiing, tobogganing, Then there 1s the annual! across the lake and back race, with scores of men and women racing eleven miles worrying about any or over gleaming fce.

C—Gasoline production ‘n the United States con- tinues at a near-record clip, the out- put for November coming within 2,- 600,000 ga'lons of the record monthly production figure attained in July, 1922, according to the United States bureau of mines. The November pro- duction amounted to 567,100,921 gal- lons, which is 1,000,000 gallons above the October output and 135,000,000 gallons, or 31.31 per cent above the production figures for November, 1921. The demands of the nat'on's mil- lions of internal combustion engines continue to maintain gasoline con- sumption at @ dizzy pace. Domestic consumption of gasoline in November amounted to 470,043,173 gal’ons, an Increase of 120,000,000 gallons, or 34.90 per cent above the consumption figures for November, 1921. November gaso- line consumpt’on figures were, how~ ever, 19,000,000 gallons below the Oc- tober consumption mark, due, doubt» less, to the advance of winter and the consequent curtailment of automobile activities. Stocks of gasoline on hand December 1 amounted to 776,723,619 gallons, an ‘increase of 53,000,000 gal lons during the month. Exports of gasoline in November were 41,085,149 gallons; shipments to insular posses- sions were 2338,042 gallons. During November 306 refiner'es re- ported to the bureau of mines as op- erating, and these ran through thelr stills a daily average of 1,473,449 bar- rels of crude of! and 167,923 barrela of other ofis. The daily indicated cn- pacity of these refineries was 1,869,820 barrels, an increase of 1.37 per cent over the previous month. Total oils run to st:lls in November showed a@ increase off 2.86 per cent as compared with October. Production of kerosene in Novem- ber amourmted to 234,436,275 gallons, an increase of 19,009,000 gallons over the figures for October and of 59,000, lons over tho November, 1981, figures. Stocks of kerosene on hand December ‘1 were 257,878,898 gallons, the figure being about 1.600,000 gal- lons above the stocks on November 1., but about 82,000,000 gallons less than on Deceraber 1, 1921, Production of gas and fuel ofls in November amounted to 891,590,171 gallons, a decrease of 30,000.000 gal- tons from the October production but an increase of 92,000,000 gallons over the production for November, 1921. Product'on of lubrieating ofls in November was 89,270,847 gallons, a slight increase over the October pro- duction and an increase of 8,000,000 gallons over the produetion in Novem- ber, 1921.
