SPORTS. MAY EXTEND AMERICANS Sturdy Band of Athletes Being Assembled for Com- petition in Paris Next Greatly by Addition of Ritola. By the Associated Press. N in the track and field sports July. With attention focused on Finland's preparations, particularly be- cause of the recent decision of Willie Ritola, di: K here for the past two years, to compete for his native land this year, a first-hand outline of the Scandinavian country’s prospects by Y. Salminen, head of one of the largest Finnish athletic clubs, will interest American track and field followers. Salminen, who is returning to Finland this week in company with EW YORK, January 2—Finland, second only to the United States a sturdy band of athletes which promises to press Uncle Sam closer than ever before for laurels in the eighth Olympiad, at Paris next July, Will Be Helped of the 1920 Olympics, is marshaling ance running champion Ritola after a brief visit ‘to the United States, declared today that his country is not overconfident, but believes it will make a stronger bid than ever for honors at Paris. He is particularly qualified to gauge this year's indications, not only because of his close identification with Fin- iand's Olympic preparations, but because of first-hand observance of con- ditions in this and other countries. Finland will send a team of prob- ably forty track and fleld stars to Paris, far less than will represent this country. according to Salminen, but some idea of the formidability of the Finnish squad s gained from the fact that it will include all of the 1920 point winners, twenty-one fn number, among them athletes who accounted for nine first places at Antwerp, a total equal to that col- lected by America. Does Not Foreeant Vietory. “We see no real chance of beating the United States this year” ad- mitted Salminen In discussing the elative strength of the countries, t I look for Finland to be Amer- iea’s closest competitor. Perhaps we may gain the honor of earning more first places than America. A good deal of our showing will depend upon how closely the United States i3 pressed by other couatries, in which it has heretofore monopolized: T look for Great Britain to be the third most powerful entry, with Italy, France and Sweden entering Strong teams Finland, he pointed out, will place its main reliance, as in 1920, in the distance events, and in a number of ficld specialties’ The Finns expect to ore heavily in the running events of 1.500 meters and up, and also pile | up many points in the javelin, discus, shot put and pentathlon. They ha shown improvement in relay racin tut in the shorter racés, the hurdles and such fleld events as the hixh jump, pole vault and hammer throw, do not expect to win. Ritola’s addi- tion to the running squad has greatly strengthened already the most _ imposing by any country. Incid it includes two other ned fame in America—Hannes Kolehmainen, win- ner of the 1920 marathon, and Villar | Kyronen, former Millrose A. A. erack. who also is a marathon candidate. Perhaps the brightest of all Finnish PO EPIPHANY EAGLES SHOW SPEED IN KANAWHA GAME PIPHANY EAGLE tossers evidently are well prepared to make an impressive showing it junior ba versed in defense and passing. shots, were beaten, 32 to 24.

CONSIDER the best play I ever made was one which enabled me to tie Abe Mitchell, the great Britisher, for the southern open title, in the Belle Meade Country with par at 5, it was to equal Mitchell's score.

And if we make second place this year we'll win the pennant in 1925." He thought Detroit and Cleveland would be the Athletics' petitors for second place.

OREGON AGGIES LOSE GRID GAME IN HAWAII By the Associated Press. « HONOLULU, January 2—The foot ball team of the University of Ha- wall defeated the Oregon Agricul- tural College eleven yesterday, 7 to 0. It was believed the heat, humidity and the lack of substitutes had much to do with the downfall of the main- i1ana team. ~ Fine in ASADENA, Calif, January 2—The foot ball teams of the United _THRILLS FANS ON COAST States Naval Academy and the University of Washington, par- P ticipants in the intersectional gridiron battle here yesterday, are preparing today for the return trip home, each perhaps a little bitter against fate for intervening and preventing a decisive victory instead of a tie score, 14 to 14. The game, from the viewpoint of critical spectators, was the most spectacular ever played here in the series of east versus west contests, Except in punting, the honors were with the Navy. It was the weight of the Huskies' line that saved Washington from .defeat.! Forty-eight thousand persons witnedsed the contest. \ Basket Ball Tips a wide-open style of foot ball from DIET PRECAUTIONS the first kickoff and had not fate in the form of a bad pass by Matthews in the final period intervenéd, it is probable that the east would have triumphed. The ability of the Huskles to tight- en their defense at critical moments saved them. After the Navy had car- ried the ball ' to the 3-inch line in the first period the Huskies stop- ped three plunges at the line of scrimmage and took the ball. Navy’s Passing Brilliant. The sixteen passes completad by the Midshipmen, eleven of them in the first half, testified to the bril- liance of their aerial attack. Only two of their passes were Intercepted. The Midshipmen accounted for thelr second touchdown with a variety of forward passes never before seen on a western gridiron. A pass used several times with almost unfailing success by the Navy was a short under-hand toss,'screen- ed by the linemen and backfleld inter- ference. In_ each instance it was thrown by Shapley and received by McKee behind the line of scrimmage. It was not until the final period that the Huskies found a means of coping with this play, The Navy’s first touchdown, in the first play of the second period, re- Isulted when MeKee tossed the ball 17 yvards to Cullen, who ran 5 yards and crossed the goal line. A Shapley- to-McKee pass resulted in the second touchdown in the same period. Mc- Kee kicked goal in both instances. A 35-yard pass from Abel to Duboin and a spectacular 23-yard run by George Wilson accounted for the Huskles' first touchdown. The Husk- ies seized an opportunity to tie the !score in the fourth period. With tl |{Navy on its own 10-yard line, M thews' wide pass to Barchet was re- covered by Petrie. Three line bucks failed. Then Abel passed to Bryan, who stood ungarded on the Navy 3- yard line. He ran over for the touch- down and Sherman kicked goal, ty- ing the score.
