| College Management of AMHERST WOULD ATHLETIC BOARDS - s HEAD OF * QUASH N SPORTS. EW HAVEN, Conn., dMarch 28.—Colleges and not athletic boards should manage their athletics and handle the revenues, President Alexander Meiklejohn of Amherst College said in an address at the'142d annual banquet of the Yale Chapter, Phi Beta Kappa, last night. H made b lied to criticisms of his recent suggestions as to college athletics y Graduate Treasurer Fred W. Moore of Harvard and Prof. Clar- ence W. Mendell, chairman of the Yale athletic board of control, and reiterated his declaration that it was time that “undergraduates should again coach and manage and play their own games.” I have ventured to suggest” he sald, “that undergraduate games should be played by undergraduates, managed By undergraduates, coached by undergraduates. Few Care to Pay Men. “To the first of these suggestions no ®bjection has, so far as I kfiow, been made in words. In this fleld it is not ‘words that speak. Men do not justify their methods -here. They simply get results. I am glad to say, however, b3 apparently in most of the col- ith which we play these men _are losing influence. Very few of us cars to pay men to play on the col- lege teams. ‘o my second suggestion Mr. Moore has replied that it is imprac- tical, in that under graduates could not possibly manage their athletic ac- tivities. Mr. Moore seems to me to confuse issues and so to miss the real point. I know that Harvard under- Eraduates ought not to try to manage the Harvard stadium, but the point Beems to' me irrevelant. The one es- Eential change in athletic management which is needed is to cut the connec- tion between games and gate receipts. The college or university should own and manage its athletic fleld just as it owns and manages all other equip- ment. “All the vast business of stadiums and bowls should be cut off from the Eames themselves. It is to the con- nection between these two things that one can trace the exaggerations in ath- letic mdnagement. And with every Year the exaggeration becomes greater. Declares Ideas Confused. Py third suggestion Prof. Mendell has objected, saying that since ‘in our intellectual work we furnish the best teaching,’ therefore « In sports ‘we should give the very ‘best teaching that there is’ His argument seems to me to rest upon a confusion between teaching and hing. There is not a college in the coun- try which does not recognize the distinction. A teacher tries to de. velop in a student command over a subject. A coach prepares a pupil to meet a specific test. If we are to extenfi and develop our teaching, does it follow that we must also ex- tend and develop our coaching? In the fleld of studies every teacher would, I think, argue in exactly the opposite direction. “The college should furnish physi- cal tralning for all students; should teach them games, should develop in them all the love of play and the =kill in doing it. But does it follow that the ‘college should coach them when they engage in conflict with another college? No man who knows what sport is wants another man paid to win his game for him. And that i{s what our present coaching system does. “Mr. ‘Moore and Mr. Mendell seem to me to be arguing for a mode of precedure that is dying itself by its own absurdity. A game is a thing for a player himself to play. But we have made our games vast enter- prises, with which others have alto- gether too much to do. It is time that undergraduates should again coach and manage and play their own games." President Angell Partly Agrees. President James R. Angell of Yale HT\MEIB sald He was partly n ggresment with President Meikle- ohn's statements. He said many of he statements are practical and have een in eperatien for some time im #ome colleges In this country. J President Charles A. Richardsen of Wnion Collegs, Schenectady. N. Y., ttacked the “jasz tendency” of the Present day. < .“There is a spirit of lawlessness revailing,” he sald. “We find it in usic, art, sculpture and everyth!nf. 'he elements of grace, poise, self- nt and proportion are sadly Jacking.” ‘He said education also had absorbed ‘mome of the “jazz atmosphere.” He described the wild, “disproportionate enthusiasm for athletics.” - known educators have helped o bring about this sort of thing by ‘belittling the classics, by saying they .were mot essential .things,” he de- jela: iBANKRUPTCY PETITION i IS FILED BY FIGHTER “To today, placing fties at $15,678 amd at One medicine ball, éne pair bexing gloves, eme watch and in bank comprise the assets. garter securi none other. 1 | TRACY IS BIG ENOUGH TO TAKE ON DEMPSEY NEW YORK, March 28.—Jim Tracy, credited with being heavy- welght tralia, pugilistic champion of has arrived here with ced Intention of even Jack Demp: bout for the world title. a mative of South Afric Aus DAVE SHADE IS WINNER OVERPINKEY MITCHELL MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, March 2§5.— Dave Shade, California welterweight oxer, scored a knockout over Pinkey Mitchell, local lightweight, in the fourth round last night.

Acting on comparatively short notice, the greens committee announced last night that the pros gathered for the North and South open championship at Pinehurst, to be played the last of this week, and other professionals have been invited to take part. The tourney next week will be a two-day event at seventy-two holes medal play. Prizes totaling $1,640 have been put up, to be distributed as follows; Five hundred dollars to the winner. $300 for second. $250 for third, $200 for fcurth, $100 for fifth, $75 for sixth, $65 for seventh and $50 for eighth. G. Chasmar, chairman of the greens committee, talked with Fred McLeod, professional of the Columbia Country Club, who is at Pinehurst, over the telephone urged McLeod to get in touch with as many professiopals as possible and to bring them to Washington. McLeod said he hoped to be able to obtain the entrance of practically every pro- fessional of note who is at Pinehurst, including Jumes M. Barnes of New York, who won the national open title last year at Columbia, and Jock Hujchison. the blonde Scot from the Glénview Club of Chicago. who an- nexed the British open title at St. Andrews last June. McLeod said he hopes to obtain little ‘Gene Sarazen, conqueror of Hutchison in the P. G. A. champlon- ship last fall; Cyril Walker, the steady Englishman, and many other stars. Walter Hagen will probably be there, and local golfers who have been watching tourneys in the south would not be surprised to see him back at the peak of the form which has already enabled him to win two open championships. With good weather between now and next Tuesday the course will be in top-notch shape for the tourna- ment, Chasmar said PENN VISITS PRINCETON FOR TITLE COURT GAME PRINCETON, N.

NEW YORK, March 28.—Three of the ranking tennis players—S. H. Voshell, Brooklyn: Dr. George King, New York, Shafer, Philadelphia—easily won their way into the fourth round of the national indoor championship sin- gles on the courts of the 7th Regiment Armory yesterday. NET STARS WILL PLAY. Tilden and Other Notables Listed for Middle States Event. PHILADELPHIA, March 28.—Many of the ranking tennis players of the United States, including William T. Tilden, world’s champlon, are en- tered in the middle states’ indoor tournament, which will be played here Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Some of the contestants are: R. Nor- ris Williams, Robert Lindley Murra; 3, Vincent Richard: Lawrence Rice, ‘W. Ingraham a Carl Fisher. 13 be- holder of the title, and Willie Hoppe, Hoppe has dog-trotted the mucky highways, shadow boxed and indulg- ed in caltsthenics, while his rival has resorted to the ancient and honorable call of the links. As 2 matter of vast- 1y unsclentific opinion it may be sub- mitted that the game of golf, more especially that part of the sport that resides on the velvet putting green, would scem to bear a closer analogy to the art of stroke and click than anything that comes to mind. You don’t have to look at the cal- endar to kmow that spring is here. Already the horse lovers are voicing expert opinion on the chances of the various Kentucky Derby candidate: and no harbinger of the vernal ad- vent is more infallible. Of course, the great Morvich is rafed as favor. ite, although there are others clos up, Kal Sang in particular. An analogy of the three-year-old situation would be observed in base ball were Rogers Hornsby only about four or five home runs short of Babe Ruth; in pugilism were Fred Fulton or Bill Brennan just a shade inferior to Dempsey, or in tennis were Bill Johnston about a point inferior to Bill Tilden. Ne college team in many seasons— not since Harvard beat the Red Sox several years ago—has so narrowed the margin of hitting and batting proficiency as between a big league Tech. 1In the late series between the Golden Tornado and the Detroit Tygers the college players acquitted | themselves well and gave Ty Cobb's jmen a nip and tuck battle in every game. As a matter of fact, any col- legian outfit that boasts of pitchers such as Thompson and Collins, right- handers, and three southpaws such as Hines, O'Leary and Allison. is fit for any company. RACQUET TENNIS CLUB READYING FOR SEASON Racquet Tennls Club. formerly the Racquet Club of the Suburban Tennis League, is readying for a bis net sea- son. Courts will be overhauled and play started probably the latier part of this week. The club intends to par- ticipate in many tournaments this spring and sumer. At a meeting last night, twelve new members were admitted to the club. More th: a score of last year's mem- bers attended the session.

STADIUM DISPUTE MAY GNE OLYMPICS TO U. §. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, March 28.—That the Persh- ing stadium is unsafe and might en- danger the lives of thousands of spectators if the 1924 Olympic games are held there was the gist of a re- port read before the Paris munici- pal council by Frantz Reichel, sec- retary of the French Olympic com- mittee. The municipal council proposed to make the necessary repairs on the stadium and bring the plan before the French Olympic committee mext Friday, but it announced that so far as the council i8 concerned the Olym- pics must be held in the Pershing stadium. “America is quite ready to take over the Olympic games,” said the report read by M. Reichel, “and build a modern stadium. 4f the municipal council is not ready to submit a plan by Friday which will bo acceptable to the Olympic committee, we shall turn the maiter back to the interna- tional Olympic committee.” Charles Hitchcock Sherrill of New York is the most notable American candidate to succeed the late Justice Bartow S. Weeks on the International Olympic committee, and the French members of the committes consider that his election at next meeting, in June, will be certain. D. C. BOXERS IN TOURNEY. A. G.

CHAMPION AHEAD, 500466, TS haefer Is in Position to Better Lead Over Hoppe WITH STRING UNFINISHED C T HICAGO, March 28.—Jake Schacfer, world champion 182 balkline billiardist, will have an opportunity from his first shot tonight to increase the 34-point lead he established last night over Willie Hoppe, former champion, when he won the first block of their 1,500-point three-nj; ight match, 500 to 466. Rounding out his fifth century with an unfinished run of 34, Schaefer left the balls nicely grouped at the h of the table for his opening shot tonight. e e Hoppe, in his new role of challenger, and Schafer displayed billlards last night that ran virtdally the gamut of the game's possibilities. Hoppe, with his oid-time delicate strokes, was the master of smooth nursing, his masses, although at times hesitated over, were executed with remarkable precision, and only infrequently was he forced to table length drives. Makes Many Hard Shets. The young champion almost invar- abily had difficulty in getting the balls together and gave a great display of hard-shot making. On his night's high run, 252 in the fourth inning, Schaef- er's first eleven shots were of the ex- tremely difficult type and table-length caroms predominated. At times both showed poorly. Execept for the possibilities of Schaefer’s opening play tonight, the game so far might be regarded as vir- tually even, the 34-point difference in strings not being regarded as a great factor. Without the advantage of the cham- pion's uncompleted inning, the hon- ors last night were the former cham- plon’s. Hoppe had the high run, 260, against Schafer's 252 and, the better average, 51 7-9, as against Schafer's even 50, ning, although the first and eighth showed only twos and the ninth a one. Schaefer registered a blank in the first, after he had won the break and missed the opening shot and failed to count again in the third. In the ninth inning he counted oniy one. In the last part or tne game bril- liant safety play accounted for the small scoring, aithough it appeared that at times both Schaefer and Hoppe missed easy chances, especially the champion in the sixth inning, when he had Hoppe 446 to 194 and missed both balls on a masse. He had counted 146 points in that run and appeared to have victory in the | first block in his grasp. Hoppe, displaying a grim nerve and | summoning his old mastery. clicked off_260 points and drew into a lead. Schaefer, apparently disconcerted Hoppe counted in every in- | by this recovery, played only in- ferior billiards for the next three innings, although his careful leaves permitted Hoppe nothing. In_the tenth frame Schaefer got the balls together after a few hard shots and ran the unfinished 34. Score by innings: Schaefer—o, 8.0, 1252, 40, 145, 11, 1, 34—500; aver- age, 50. Hoppe—2, 14, 55, 114, 9, 260, 2, 1, x—466; average 51 7-9.
