OLYMPIC YACHT COURSE DISPLEASING TO BRITONS i LONDON, January 3.—British yachts- men_are dissatisfied at the decision of the French Olympic committee to hold all_Olympic- yacht races on the Seine at_Meulan. It is contended here that the course suggested by the French is entirely un- sufted for boats of eight or even six meters. It is further pointed out that! the Seine at Meulan varies in wi i from 150 to 250 meters and that its ‘waters are smooth and sheltered so that races can only be won by the boat most fortunate in finding the flukes in cur- vent and breeze. In order to reach Meulan yachts of either class must be dismasted, towed up the river and then refitted. The British opinion regarding the un-, suitabllity of the proposed course is: sald to be held also by the Swedes and the Americans. BASKET BALL RESULTS. Army, 40; McGill University, 14.

Plerce, president of the National Collegiate Athletic Assoclation and vice presi- dent of the National Amateur Ath- letic Federation, upon his return from the south, have been interpreted as a declaration that both organizations would stand against the Amateur Athletic Union’s action against Charles W. Paddock, California sprinter. The A. A. U. has asserted Paddock must explain charges made by that body before he can compete for a place on the American Olym- pic_team. Gen. Plerce asserted that his two organizations did not belleve that the American Olympic committee could delegate to the A. A. U. power to certify to the eligibility of athletes for the Olympic team. He further declared that “colleges should bave complete jurisdiction over intercolle- glate athletic meets, whether In thi: country or any foreign country.” This right, he added, is in- “serious danger under present conditions.” Paddock, who is from the Univer- sity of Southern California, was sus- pended by the A.

AN FRANCISCO, Calif,, January 3—If Helen Wills can raise her game to the heights she is capable of she has a splendid chance to defeat Suzanne Lenglen in the Olympic games in Paris, says Wil- uller, the national champion’s chief adviser and tennis coach. Miss Wills will be No. 1 player on the woman’s tennis team the United States will send to France. “I saw Lenglen in 1921,” said Fuller, “and she is just as good now, if not better, than she was then. She saw. I would call her a ‘female Tilden.' is the most versatile player I ever She has everything, and any woman who expects to defeat her must have everything to give her in return. W 1 she needs much improvement.” Fuller last year predicted that Miss Wills would defeat Mrs. Molla Mal- lory, then champlon, a prophecy she fulfiiled. i “Helen's game,” said Fuller, “is very much better than when she returned from the east last fall. She is cov- ering court faster. Slowness on her feet has been one of her great faults Her sense of anticipation is keenei Her volleying shows vast improve ment.

The Ameri- can Olympic committee has requested the amendment and is awaiting a reply. Mrs. Mallory has been thought eligible to play for the United States in the Olympics because she compet- ed for her native Norway in the 1912 games. The Olympic rules provide that a plaver cannot compete for two coun- tries,” but Julian 8. Myrick, forther president of the United Tennis Assoclation, who Is in charge of the Olympics tennis, is hopeful that regulations will be waived in Mrs. Mal- lory's parcitucular case. Since coming to this country as Molla Bjurstedt, Mrs. Mallory has won the women's national championship seven times, her long reign ending Iast year under the onslaughts of Miss Helen Wills, the Berkeley, Calif., girl. who finished second to her in the 1922 tournament. Mrs. Mallory is one of the best woman tennis players in the world. There has been some talk of Mrs. Mallory representing Norway at Paris, but she declined to discu ny phase of the matter. Official Norwegian sources, however, explained that to do so she would have to renounce the American citizenship she acquired when she married Franklin 1 Mal- lory and apply for reinstatement to the Norwegian government. ‘Whether she will play in the Olym- pics or not, Mrs. Mallory will accom- pany the American women's tennis] team abroad. With her will go Miss Wills, Miss_Eleanor Goss and Mrs. George W. Wightman, in defense of the Wightman cup, in addition to the other players, and they are expected to compete at Wimbledon. “We want Mrs. Mallory to repre- sent the United States In the Olym- ples,” sald Myrick. “We feel that she is an American in_every sense of the word and that she stands for our} ideals.” WASHINGTON GUN CLUB WILL ELECT TONIGHT Members of the Washington Gun Club will elect officers for the ensu- ing year at a meeting to be held to- night at the home of Dr. Thomas E.

Should the board of principals adopt a definite athletic program competition in the high school games will reach a new era, according to Hart. “With hundreds of more boys and girls receiving athletic instruc- tion ‘teams of the highest caliber would be the result,” he said.

This will go in ef- fect at the beginning of the new school year, September, 1924. According to those interested in high school activities, the rule gener- ally will promote competition.

FIRPO-SPALLA FIGHT' LISTED FEBRUARY 24 BUENOS AIRES, January 3.—Sport- ing circles belleve that much of the mystery which has thus far enveloped the Spalla-Firpo negotiations may be due to the apparent competition be- tween New York and Buenos Aires promoters to match Spalla. Filrpo announced that the bout would be held in this city on Feb- ruary 24 and would be scheduled to go fifteen rounds, with Firpo receiv- ing 40 per cent of the gate and Spalla a guarantee. It is reliably reported here that Spalla is expected to sail from Mar- seille on the next boat.. It is belleved that the Itallan boxer has been walt- ing until he received a cable that Firpo actually had signed the con- tract for the fight, which Firpo says he has done. Spalla Is Training. MILAN, Italy, January 3.—FErminio Spalla, European heavywelght cham- plon, is training in Marseille, France, while awalting a definite date for his match with Luis Angel Firpo in Buenos Aires, A dispatch from Buenos Aires last night said that the Firpo-Spalla fight would be held on the foot ball field of that city on February 24, Spalla’s brother, Gluseppe, says that, after the bout with Firpo, Erminio will most probably go to New York, where negotiations are proceeding for matches with Gene Tunney, American light heavyweight cham: pion, and Tom Gibbons. -Spalla has signed to meet Georges Carpentier in Milan next June and in May will _again box the Dutch heavyweight Vanderyeer, from whom he won the title.
