In a report made 35 years agn Colonel O. H. Ernst, then super. intendent at West Point, said: | “Football as controlled here has been beneficial to scholarship and ; an aid to discipline and should | receive a proper degree of encour- agement, but the match sgame with the Naval Academy has done, much to undo these good results and - will, if continued, entirely undo them and, being objection- able otherwise, should not be per-| mitted to recur.” ! Intense Rivalry This was after four games hal been played, ‘engendering an n- tense rivalry. From 1894 untll 1899 mo football games were play- | ed between the service Instity tions. When the question of renewal of the games was brought up 'n 1897 Colonel Ernst, in answer to a letter from the Secretary of War stating that renewal of the game was contemplated, said there was “much good in football while kept under proper control, but . every- thing to condemn in the inter- academic match.” “The excitement of that match is unhealthy,” he said. “It passes all reasonable limit. It breaks up both institutions for at least one week at the time of the match, and during the three months’ pre. paratory season it brings to bear an almost irresistible pressure for more time for practice than should properly be given to any sport. “In my judgment it would not be possible to frame regulations which could make it anything but vicious and injurious to both in- stitutions.” The Secretary of War concurr- ed with these views. Games Revived The games were revived two years later, however, but in 1903 differences between the academies again came up. Colonel A. L. Mills, then superintendent, took a stand similar to that of Major General Edwin B. Winans, pres ent superintendent, who has re- fused to limit the athletic com- petition of the Cadets by accept- ing the three-year transfer rule. Colonel Mills wrote that the Military Academy would be will- ing to arbitrate, “provided that the right of any cadet not debar- red by studies or conduct to play in any athletic contest or sport be not questioned.” STAR ATHLETE WINS , RHODES SCHOLARSHIP CHICAGO, Feb. 2—A sharp In- dividual contradiction to the cofn- plaint in some quarters that col- lege athleties interfere with class- reom work is John J. M¢Donough, * 20-yearold University of Chicago senior. Holder of five “C's” for athletic prowess, he was one of 32 Americans to receive a Rhodes scholarship. The “C’s” represent three years of varsity football and’two years! of basketball. This year, McDon- ough was appointed by President Mason as head. marshal, an ‘honorary office awarded for ex- cellence in scholarship. ——.———— HANSON STARTS OWN TEAM RETIRED; MIAMI, BEACH, Fla., Feb. 2 Tex Rickard announced today that Jack Dempsey . has retirs from the prize fight ring. Gene Tunney, world champion, will defend the title 'next Junol against the winner of the Sharke/, Risko, Heeney and Delaney ' ination contest. ) Commenting from Los Angeles, Dempsey said: “It is O. K. with me. I told Rickard I would not! |be ready in June. If my injured eye muscle improves, I may figit again or I may” not. As things look now, I may never fight again.” Rickard said he based his an- nouncement of Dempsey's retire. elim. champion that “he thinks it is not advisable to engage in any fur- ther contests.” Rickard expressed regret at Dempsey’s “passing.” The pro- moter said the next title bout had not been awarded to any city but named Philadelphia, Chicago, Lon- don and an undesignated place in Canada as all in the running. - e SWIMMER BORN IN INDIA INELIGIBLE FOR U. S. TEAM SYRACUSE, N. Y., Feb. 2—Bob Halloran, yracuse University freshman swimmer who is a close friend and former teammate of Johnny Weissmuller, has had to decline an invitation to try out| for the United States Olympic team because he is a native of India. Halloran, whose father was a colonel in the British army, lived at Jubolopore, Central India, un- til he was 15 years old. He lived in’ Wooster, Ohio, for the ensuing few years and competed in swim- ming events for the Cleveland Athletic Club. He holds the 100, 200 and 6560-yard records in Ohin and the 220 and 550-yard eastern records. . —— e — WINS BY PSYCHOLOGY . —_— MADISON, Wis., Feb. 2—John- ny bh University of Wisconsi far ;. leans heavily l‘mm(lt 4 lfiy» get him in trim for a Betore each event, he con- ilm-,uy studies a little' prlnm an | card, such as “This week I Above‘are several poses of Duny Vance, pitching ace of the Brooklyn Nationals, taken during his win- ter stay In Florida.

B | ol + ELEPHANT WELCOMED BANCKOCX, Biam, Feb. 2— Siam’s rice crop for next season has been assured, the natives be- lieve, with the arrival here of i' new baby white elephant, a token of continued prosperity for the country. . Good luck is in store, Siam thinks, for all who lay eyes on the beast, and the baby elephant was greeted by one of the largest crowds ever assembled when It marched through the streets of the “capital. . The king and queen ! were on hand to view the proces-| sion, which wound its way through the streets to the royal palace, while Brahmin priests chanted soothingly as the new arrival and his escort plodded on their way to their new found home. The queen herself is to be the sponsor of ‘the little fellow, who was| brought here from the jungles to the north, Siam is ontlnl; dependent on agriculture and a failure of its rice crop means a bad year all The Iast. yesrs of ‘the reign o( King m witnessed le on the!

When Albert M. Day l'mmnl the body of an eagle near here | he sent it to the University of | Wyoming.

At the pal- ace he was attired in gorgeous ‘beje\!l’lefl robes and was given a |gohlen chain of office, which will ' decorate his neck on state occa- sions. The royal houuholv.l now has two white elephants. The elder one, long in the service of the government, belongs to the king, while the baby, born late in 1926, is the pet of the queen herself. —eo— .
