BRITISH ATHLETES WILL BE INSTRUCTED BY MAIL LONDON, March 9—A corre- spondence course to train Eng- lish athletes for the Olympic games at Paris is the newest word in British sport. Alec Nelson, who has instructed Cambridge aund Army athletes for many years, is conducting the mall courses. After the preliminary stages sclected men will be imvited to spend a period of intensive train- & at the royal air force stadium now under comstruction Ux- bridge. GLUB SHOOT WILL AID BUTCHERS AND GROGERS Washington Gun Club tomorrow will inaugurate a series of intraclub team shoots that are likely to prove a trifle expensive to the losing team. All members of the trapshooting aggre- gation that holds forth at Benning possess healthy appetites, and the low-scoring bunch in the tourneys about to start will be called upon to entertain the winners at a dinner in May Dr. A. V. Parsons will captain the Red team, and Dr. J. C. Wynkoop, president of the club, will head the Blue team. The pefsonnel of the teams was decided by the captains making alternate choices from the list of club members who have been on the firing line this winter. In the team race the ten highest scores of each side will count. Other shoots in the series ‘are to be held March 17 and 24, April 7, 14 and 21, and May 5, 12 and 19. HITS AT HANDBOOKING. LANSING, Mich., March 9.—The state senate, by a unanimous vote, has passed an 'anti-handbook bill after refusing to eliminate a_section de- signed to prohibit publication of race track odds in daily nzwnraperu and other publications. The bill now goes to the house where, it is said, a majority is pledged in favor of it. Everett Scott day, although Con- gress adjourned without noting it, will mark the day he plays his thou- sandth consecutive game. He has played 986 and has fourteen more to go. The fourteenth game of the Yanks this year is booked for Wash- ngton May 2. If Washington should not be the scene of Scott's thousandth straight game, the Athletics will have the distinction of playing against him. ! Those who are anxious to see Scott | complete this wonderful record of consistent playing are requested by his friends to knock wood for good luck. The shortstop is thirty-one years old. If he gets through one thousand games without a miss he will ‘have made a record for consec- utive playing which probably will necessitate some youngster beginning in the major leagues at about eight- een years of age to equal. The odds against beating Scott's record in the future are anything you choose to name. It is a marvel that he has played 986 games without a slip. Most youngsters are lucky if they go through their first season without missing a game, yet this vet- eran, in service if not in years, slips by the seasons like an express train going by a flag station. MICHIGAN NOT T0 SEEK ENTRY INTO L AL A A ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 9— Michigan will not seek reinstale- ment in the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of America, but will con- fine its athletic endeavor to the west. Athletic Director Yost has decided that western conference competition, along with the ‘national collegiate meet, will keep the Wolverine teams well occupied. = Numerous requests had come from the student body” for Michigan rep- resentation in the eastern intel collegiate meet, Michigan lost its membership in the eastern organiza- tion last year, through fallure to enter a team in three consecutive years.

YALE PAYS A TRIBUTE T0 OWEN OF HARVARD EW HAVEN, March 9.—The Yale News, the official organ of the under-| graduates of the university, has taken its editorlal hat off to George Owen, Harvard’s super athlete, who has caused the downfall of more Yale teams than any individual in the long athletic history of the Crimson. Owen’s latest achlevement was con- tributed Wednesday night when he robbed the Elis of a chance for the hockey championship. This is the third year he has been a party to Yale Thockey defeats. His record against Yale in foot ball and base ball i8 too well known to set forth herc. Suffice it to say Yale recognizes his prowess and sportsmanship. for in the leading editorial of the News today it did something that it has seldom done before. paid a personal tribute to a athleté of another university. Yale men believe it was a graceful thing to do. and the News was heart- ily commended for its recognition of Owen's great work. The editorial follows: “We would pause a moment over our cups. Having sipped the vinegar of defeat and clinked our glasses to the health of the Crimson cohorts, we would propose a toast to a man whose achievements have made_his- tory for the last four years of Yale- Harvard competition. ~An outstand- ing athlete, a clean sportsman, a fighter all the way, his prowees al- ways to be feared and admired, whether on gridiron, diamond or rink, George Owen.” . YANKEE POLOISTS AGAIN TRIUMPH OVER BRITISH NEW YORK, March 9.—America de- cistvely outplayed England in the sec- ond match of the indoor polo tourna- ment for the John R. Townsend inter- national challenge cup at the Squad- ron A Armory last night, the defend- ers of the trophy emerging victors by a score of 11 goals to 2. The final figures represented fairly accurately the difference in the play of the two teams in about all depart- ments of the game and Indicated that the international trophy will remain in this countr: ‘WILL REFEREE BIG MATCH.
