BY LAWRENCE PERRY. veloped: the fa N EW YORK, December 24.—Inquiry among uptown hotels has de- ct that New York next week will be a veritable cen- ter of foof ball coaches from all parts of the country. More than sixty well known gridiron instructors have made reservations for next Tuesday; their objective being the organization meeting of the proposed Natiemal - Association of Foot Ball Coaches, w ch will convene as ad- junct to.the National Collegiate Association convention. It is-expected that at dcast 2 hundred foot ball mentors will sit in at the powwow, and that an cffective organization far-reaching in-its practical results will be cffected. John “Hgjsman, chairman of the comumitiee on rules and organization, will -submit _his -report and it fis hinted that it will he most interest- ing. Oue may wonder if there will he any reference g such extra fune- tions “practiced by some coaches as recruiting material for their teams and interfering -with officials in the course of the game. Arrangements between Harvard and Dartmouth for a game next fall will be pleasing to foot ball fans in New England, particulari.; in Bos- ton, whieh contains any number of adherents of the Hanover institution. In the bygone years, up to 1912, this contest.between the Crimson and the Gireen was in .every sense of the word a big game and always a well- played one. Politically it is a mas- er move on the part of Harvard, who 1 the past has not distinguished her- self for acumen of the sort. While the agreement calls for but one game there is hardly a doubt that the way is opened for an extended arrange- ment. The full significance of this renewed alliance is Jikely to be made clear along about”the first of De- cember. 1 Fresident who has been attaining s “Hopkins of Dartmouth, ature year; after year., who now sces his college #n e position where some twenty-four hundred applicants are besieging the faculty for admission, has emphatic ideas as to the relation of foot ball 1o the essential work of the curri- culum. In a recent letter to an alum- nu ngered over the showing of thej Gr in the recent season, Dr. Hop- kins sets forth that foot ball is not being conducted at Hanover to give & thrill to alumni, but merely to give students the benefit of manly exer- cise and outlet for physical and men- 1al ene He doubts—with excel- lent reason—that the curve of under- graduate enrollment is effected in any way by success or failure on the iron. And as for the advertising se of foot ball success Dartmouth apparently doesn’t need it. On the other hand the plea for successful foot ball is eloquently put by Dr. John M. Thom: the new president of Pennsylvania State. “I believe in foot ball,” he says, “because_it fuses the college into a unity. Before the first big game home each vear the college is only a mass of individuals, but with the long vell that greets the team for its first big fight a new and living entity comes into being. It is the college as a whole.” Hera is the paen of one whose in- stitution developed this season, as t@ the past, an outstanding team. 1 Olicago alumni feels that the mid- way eleven will not be so strong as to_personnel in 1922 as in the past| fall.

IRAIN FAILS 70 DAMPEN HARDING'S GOLF ARDOR The presidential game of golf is not a bit bothered by the fact that the links are wet. In fact, President Harding—one of the most ardent golfers that ever lived in the White House—plays even more in inclement weather than on days when every- thing about the links is dry and favor- able. Yesterday afternoon the President d a round over the course of the shington Golf and Country Club with three of his boon golfing com- panions—Edward Beale McLean of Washington, Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey and Senator Hale of Maine. And be it hereby recorded that notwithstanding a spitting down- pour of rain that began even before they had finished the first hole the presidential party kept on and their hopes were rewarded when the sun came out as they reached the tenth hole. In passing it may be remarked that the presidential ball cares not who strikes it. President Harding was heard to remark on the eighteenth ter he had hit a good tee shot with slight hook, “Did it go in_ the ditch?” and the caddie answered dole- fully “Yassuh.” Just as he would if any other golfer had hit a hook. Senior golfers of the Chevy Chase Club vesterday began the last of a series of tournaments which this year have enlivened the golfing season for the older members of the club. The tournament will be concluded Monday evening, and each senior will play two rdunds on which the best score for each hole will be counted. Handi- caps of the Seniors’ Golf Association will apply, and the tournament will be played under winter rules. Children residing in the neighbor- hood of the Washington Golf and Country Club were the guests last evening at a Christmas party given at the club by the steward. H. A. Linn, chairman_ of the house commit- tee, represented the club members at the party. —_— ATHLETICS PROGRESSING AT HYATTSVILLE HIGH HYATTSVILLE, Md.. December 24. —A new athletic era has dawned for Hyattsville High School. The local institution, with an enroliment of something more than 250, {8 making a determined effort to turn out teams that may prove worthy opponents for the ranking scholastic combinations of Washington and Baltimore. By spring the new athletio fleld will be ready for use. It is planned to lay out a base ball dlamond, a run- ning track, tennis courts and & volley ball court. AMERICAN MEET SUCCESS IN OPPOSING FOREIGNERS (Continued from Tenth Page.) | Harness racing had an unusually fine vear. The development of Peter Manning, Single G, Grayworthy, Peri- scope and others which made his- tory at trotting and pacing, proved a stimulus, the value of which it is| difficult {o estimate. The racing was | high class throughout and several | new records were established. The greatest of these was the per- formance of Peter Manning, which is owned by William Gleason of Wil- liamsport, Pa. Gleason bought the horse for a reputed price of $25.000! in the fall of 1919. 1In 1920 he won | the Transylvania and other classic: and closed with a récord of 2:02 1-5. Peter Manning was then pointed toward the fastest mile in the his- | tory of trotting, which was held by | the famous Uhlan, and last ber son’s pride won the d in 1.55. which was the world re made by Uhlan in 1912. Then in October Peter Manning came back and clipped two-fifths of a second from this time, thus establishing him- &reatest of them. y the best of the trot- ters, winning all the big stakes and be- ing undefeated among horses racing This gray gelding won more .000 for Walter Cox, its owner. > G's brilliant victories as a_pacer carried his winning up around the $65,000 mark. He maintained his record of 1.59 and looked just as good at the close of his ninth campaign as he did five years ago. Professional eycling honors went to ! Yachting Experiences Revival | Yachting fs another sport that had a great revival of interest. This game was dormant following the difficulties ‘brought about hy the war, but reached its heights again during the year. The Canadians beat us in the annual race of the fishing schooners, and carrfed away the trophy which the Esperanto won the year before. But the increased interest in the sport is bound to bave a good effect, and there will be another international race ncxt year. ‘Wrestling saw the defeat of Ed (“Strangler”) Lewls, who was beaten by the 47-year-old Pole, Stanislaus arathon” bout at New ; v, The veteran Pole later successfuily defended his newly ac- qQuired title.

But Bobby, jr., kept plugging. He practiced at every opportunity, took some bad spills and had_every reason in the world to give up, but he stuck.

He can't be Kept down. is widely discussed, and few agree upon any one college for this honor. However, this is sure—that never be- fore has the gridiron game had such a prosperous year. The open game was largely responsible for the popu- larity of this sport, and receipts throughout the country exceeded all expectations. In many instances thousands were turned away because there was not sufiiclent space to ac- commodate them. Amons the leading eastern teams were Penn State, Cornell. Washing- ton and Jefferson and Lafayette. Towa won the big ten, or western confer- ence, title. Centre was the leading gouthern team and the' University of California captured the championship of_the Pacific coast.

MANY QUINTS HELPED BY NEW BASKET COURT Good basket ball courts for inde- pendent teams are so rare here that when a new one opens club managers lose no time arranging for the ac- commodation of their charges. As a conscquence the spacious Palace court recently built at 914 E street, i !praucnny is’ engaged for the basket 1 ball season. The playing floor is of t desirable De, the quarters are clean and there is ample room for spectators. Here are the assignments for this wlnlrr. Steward's Business College boys’ and girls’ teams will play at the Palace on TPuesdays and Thursdays, Wednesday nights and Sunday after- noons belong to Truxton Athletic Club, the Lexingtons will hold forth on Fridays, the Manhattans on Satur- days and on Sunday nights the Mer- curles will floor. This arrangement assures these quints of a splendid court for home engagements, and enables them to prepare more pretentious schedules. An establishment such as the Palace should add much basket ball seaso; take possession of the to Washington's Steward’s Business College teams, after a strenuous week, will rest through the holidays. The bovs’ quint and girls’ sextet each engaged in two games during the past six days. The hovs were defeated by Quincy Ath- letic Club and the Alexandria Light Infantry. but the girls vanquished the Alexanudrians and the Crusaders. Both teams. which are being coached by Jack H are booking games. For engagements, managers should Steward's Business College, 12th and F streets.

Seminole Athletie Club, in the 100- pound division, is casting about for games. Challenges should be tele- x)h;Ted to Bernard Sparks, Lincoln write Sam Harold or Eleanor Watt, | N Just as the Giants took a chance with their outfleld in trading Burns for Groh that the infield mifht be strengthened, so the Yankees gambled with the shortstop position in order to bolster up their pitching staff. From a flelding standpoint the Yan- kees will be as well oft with Scott as they would have been with Peckin- paugh. There are many who think that Peckinpaugh was beginning to show signs of slowing up. It did not seem that he was as fast in the fleld the past Scason as he used to be, and even in a year of free hitting he did not_demonstrate that he was more than an ordinary batter. Scott has rot missed a game Bince 1916, and he makes up in endurance what he may lack in some other respects. Discord Influenced Trade. While it was not the deciding fac- tor in the exchange, the discord be- tween Peckinpaugh and Manager Hug- gins doubtless had something to do with it. It was an open secret all season that Peckinpaugh was the leader of the anti-Huggins faction on the team, and since the deal has been announced Peckinpaugh has openly charged that Huggins had him traded because he thought he was after Huggins’' job, The Yankees. afraid to stand pat with what they had, played _their hund smoothly. They got an infielder who is about as good as the inflelder who goes away, but they also secured two pitchers of whom one at least should prove to be a winner for the team next year. | Jones started the season in Boston in 1921 as if he were about to be one of the best pitchers in the United States. He did not finish badly, by any means, although he was being batted rather freely toward the end on account of the way he was over- worked. Bush began the sexson poor- 1y, but he was going better as the summer passed. Both Should Come Through. Both Bush and Jones should come through for the Yankees with a win- ning percentage of .667. It will take the best that Cleveland and St. Louis can produce next vear to pry the championship away from New York, because good pitching is going a long way toward the success of any team GODDARD SETS FAST PACE FOR NAVY YARD BOWLERS NDY GODDARD is slamming in the Navy Yard League. In A His excellent pin toppling has done vantage aver the Drawing quint. Each of the first pair of teams in the race has several men with aver- ages bettering 100.

The sixth-place Miscellaneous team has the champion strike maker, in Weidman, who has made twenty-one in thirty six games. He also has the best average of his team, with 106-6. Other team leaders are Nickolson (East), 101-12; Brown (Broadside). 101-13; Miles (Erecting), ~101-13; Roudabush_(Tube), 98-¢, and Frazer (Tool), 96-5.

Vault, Surface and Custodian follow as mentioned. Mohler's set of 349 is the highest on the individual books. Davis has bowled the best game at 143. Tardiness of players in reporting for matches has caused considerable embarrassment in the Washington Ladies' Duckpin League and officials hope that when play is resumed Janu- I-ry 3 this condition will be remedied. A few of the girls recently have shown a tendency to appear well after the scheduled hour for engag- ments, much to the annoyance of the team captains. Leaders have been delayed in announcing their teams to the scorers and in most instances the tardy bowler has gotten off to a poor start. In the new year, league officials expect bowlers to be at hand at 8 o'clock, the appointed hour for beginning matches. Prize winers last week were Polly Gerlach of Treasury, with a set of 289, and Rose Frenzel of Western TUnion, with a game of 115. Second honors were earned by Billie Wil- liams of Billie's team, who had a set of 284, and Mrs. Malcolm of the Na- tionals, with a game of 104. Elizabeth Rawlings of City Post Office had high flat game at §5.” The low game of 66 was bowled by Miss Lyle of Finance.

In these the War Department four won handily. The Cubans were well satisfled with their visit, however, and plan a continuation of the rela- tions in this great game for horse- men.

The proposed Capital City Athletic Club never became a real-, ity, and the Ardmore Club, after sev- eral spasmodic efforts to promote the ring sport, gave up the ghost. Wres- tling’s best inning was a meet be- tween Washington and Baltimore teams at the Washington Canoe Club. Cyclists had their place in the sun. Several amateur meets were conduct- ed on the Potomac Park speedway, and the Amateur Bicycle League of jAmerica road champlionships were held here. In the latter competitions Arthur Nieminsky of New York set a record for the half mile at 1 min- ute 13 seconds. - Big Year for the Bowlers leagues were in operation and their ranks were filled with enthusiastic young duckpinners, The Washington City Duckpin Association’s tourna- ment was a sizeable affair, although play was not up to standard. Women organized two leagues and held tour- naments. Washington Gun Club kept trap- shooting alive, and its weekly tour- naments never lacked entries. Rifle shooting also was fostered by clubs of the National Rifle Association. For the first time, horseshoe pjtch- ing gained a place in the District's sport record. Some bureaus of the ‘War and Navy departments had clubs and the city post office organized a “pbarnyard golf” team. Track and fleld athletics were better than usual.

EW YORK, December 24—Bchind the big base ball deal put through this week whereby Roger Peckinpaugh, shortstop and captain of the New York American League champions, goes to Boston in a trade of players, was the fear of the owners that the Yankees were not good enough to repeat as they stood. The world series convinced them that they must have at least onec more good pitcher and since this deal gives them Jones and Bush in addition to Scott, a shortstop of class, the coming campaign should not require Mays and Hoyt to bear the brunt of the pitching burden. in 1922, The experience of last season told that. ‘With Mays and Hoyt traveling fair- 1y well, with Bush and Jones winning two-thirds of their games, and with Shawkey and O'Doul thrown in for good measure, the Yankees will keep the other teams Fuessing all year. ‘The Detroits, the Chicagos and the Washingtons have hopes of getting something which will add to their strength, and the Boston management belleves it will have a better batting club next season, in spite of the storm of criticism raised by the recent deal among Boston fans. So far as the National League is concerned, some managers already have conceded the Giants the pen- nant as the result of the Groh deal. That trade. together with the Peckin- paugh-Scott exchange, demonstrated that the managers of the two cham- pionship teams of the big leaguex were none (oo certain about their clubs as they stood. Why Giants Got Groh. Why did the Giants need to strengthen their infield? Because Frisch is not a good third-baseman and Rawlings is not a top-notch sec- ond baseman. That may sound funny to some after their playing last sea- son, but every experienced base ball man realizes that that statement is true. Frisch gets almost everything at third base, and he is 5o young and fast that he is the handiest kind of a ball player to have at third base, pro- vided there is no regular third-base- man available. But if there is a sterling third-sacker to be had it would be better to put Frisch back at second, where he is much more at home and where he will be a much better player than Rawlings would have been If he had remained with the Giants for five years or so. That is the theory of the New York club. The Giants played to strengthen an infield that needed more strength, tak- ing chances on an outfleld that is not overstrong, but which seems that it can be patched up better than an infield. The Giants of 1921 were not as good as the Giants of 1917. and the Giants of 1917 were not as good as the Giants of 1912. Yet the Giants of 1921 won the world championship where two better teams failed simply be- cause of the weakness of their rivals lin the box. So McGraw had to look around to strengthen his team.

There will be no trouble about signing him up. The average fan will be tempted to laugh his head off when he hears of Fulton as an opponent for the heavyweight champion, but the wise guys all tell you that with a little more heart Fulton would be a real contender. Maybe he has injected himslf With the sort of stuff that made the mouse stand on his kLind legs and ask, *Where is that cat now?” Or again he may have flx- ured out a way to beat Dempsey and will thus enter the ring filled witn confidence. Fulton Ts Real Sore. If he does he can be relied upon to makc a real fight. Otherwise not The lanky plasterer is clever and We can hit hard. He has proved that against a lot of men. There never a dub that had a chance to last with him. Yet against a topliner he himself has played the role of the dub. Fulton has heard this sort of taik all his life and he is plumb sore. All he wants, he savs, is a chance to prove that the critics are Wrons And Tex Rickard proposes to give him that chance. There is no ques- tion that the fight would draw, if only for the reason that any time { Dempsey goes against a man in de- fense of his title the attraction is bound to pa; He and Benny Leonard are the orly scrappers in the world of whom this may be said. Dempsey, according to u letter frem Jack Kearns. has been keeping h sclf as fit as his theater work per- mits. He has not neglected gym- nasium work. sparring and punching the bag. but what he wants is a real and he doesn’t care whether he is “Fred Fulton or who it is” Rickard has received word from Carpentier that he would like to fight Tommy Gibbons about the first week in March. That suits Tex all right and probably Gibbons, too. Rickard says that Descamps cabled that Carp is splendid ~=adition and that tes oaly trouble with @tm a fortnight ago was a bad bronchia] cold. No difficulty is expected with George Cook, whom the Frenchman meets on January 12, and shortly after that bout the Fremen retinue will come to this country e train for the Garden fight. Great disappointment was mazfifest - ed in this city over Gibbons’ showisg against Bartley Madden. Gibbons was counted to push Madden out of the way before the ten founds were over But_ Bartley stayed the limit. The funny thing is that Madden gets no credit for improvement. while evers one lands on Gibbons as a false alarn: who has been knocking out twenty set-ups One can never tell about those things. Gibbons may have been off form. Good fighters sometimes have that failing. Or for some reason or another he may have carried Bartley lalong through the route. That has aleo been known to happen.
