Students at George Washington are loud in their praise of Dr. Wil- liam Mather Lewls, president of the university, for having provided them with a gymnasium for use this year. Not only s the gym being extensive- 1y used for athletic competitions, but it also is proving an excellent center for social events. One man connected with the university recently made the statement that ‘nothing that has been done at George s whole history has been of greater value to the university and its stu- dents than the building last Sum- mer and Fall of the gymnasium now in u And, fncidentally, while this column is not intended as a medium of comment on the activitles of presi- dents of universities, it neverthele seems very appropriate to say that the keen Interest that President Lewis has been and is taking in the inte ests and activities of the students of ieorgp Washington is doing about as much-to help that institution as an thing.

According to a #tatement made in Baltimore Saturday by a man who watched Washington College play several times, if there #s anyvthing on a basket ball floor that McGran cannot do, then it s some- thing undlscovered in the line of in- dividual play It seems that four or five members ©f the Washington team played to- gether in high school in Waterbury, €onn,, and during the recent Christ- mas holidays took a trip through new England, on which they played 10 games. The victory over the Navy in- dicates that the trip was productive as far as keeping in shaps was con- cerned, as It reported that the Eastern Shore of Marvland .aggrega« tion actually outlasted the hard play- ing sallors.

John L. Griffith, commissioner of the Western Conference, belleves His view of the sport's future comes from observation of the growth in popularity of foot ball in the past few years. “The greatest single drawing at- traction in sports, amateur or pr fessional, had been a world cham- plonship prizefight with the heavy: welght title in view,” Maj. Grifith said. “I suppose 90,000 {s the correct esti: mate of the greatest crowd the boxers have drawn “The Stanford-California game on the Pacific Coast this year outdrew that by several thousand. ‘And the | return of the American intercollegiate foot ball code to Stanford and Cali- fornfa has been comparatively re- cent.” Interest in foot ball now extends beyond the colleges, their students and alumni, Ma)j riffith declared. This has come with the development of individual stars or combinations like *Red” Grange of lllinois and the “Four Horsemen” of Notre Dame.

The result of the battle was In doubt until the very end, the score at the half standing 11 to 10 in Pal- ace's favor and the visitors getting a 5-point lead later on. umerous fouls resulted from the style of play and the locals used their opportunities to ®ood advantage. In fact, the game was won on free throws, as each team sank 9 goals from scrimmage. The Laundrymen made good on 10 out of 22 free trys, while the Knights | drew only 12 chances, 7 of which net- ted polnts.

MIKE BRADY TELLS: When a Championship Was Decided by the Wind HE Florida west coast champio in large measure by the wind. Hagen, Jim Barnes and myself. the result, A nship at Bellaire in 1912 was decided Coming down ‘the home stretch the title lay between Walter stroke either ‘way. would determine When T reached the seventeenth tee, Hagen already was in with a score of 300. Barnes was in the running, with a chance to tie or better this mark. As for me, I needed a 5 on the seventeenth and a 4 on the eighteenth, or vice versa, to win. The seventeenth hole is 430 vards in length, but on this afternoon we had to play dead agalnst a high wind and it was very hard to get up. to the green fn"two. After losing severdl yards on my drive, due to tho gale, T was short of the green on my second. My chip left me 8 feet from the cup. It looked as though I would need two putts to hole out. A.5 on the sev- enteenth would maké a 4 on- the lutely necessary. You never can tell. I might not get ft, and thus I would be swept into a tle with Hagen. That would mean a play-off. ; I made a determined try to sink that 8-foot putt. The ball went up to_ the cup as straight as an arrow, too, but just as it wds about to go in appeared to catch on something and hang back on the lip. Well, sir, while we all held our breath, that ball just wavered back and forth. It was actually being held up by the wind. If the gale had kept up it never would have gone in, but suddenly there was a lull. In that moment, before the wind could re- sume its sway, my ball was released and it dropped into the hole for a 4. .This practically settled the cham- plonship. I could ‘use five strokes on the- par, 4 eighteenth and still win. However, T did the holé in the regular style and finished 298 to Hagen's 300, Barnes finally got in ivith 301 and first-prize money was mine. Rabbit Causes Defeat. One of the strangest holes ever plaved in a tournament was that staged by Jim Barnes, Walter Hagen, “Jock” Hutchison and me during the open event at Deland, Fla, one Winter. 3 i It was at the seventeenth hole, dur- ing the third round. At this stage one of us was bound to bb the win- ner, but, as we were only a stroke or two apart, it was impossible to tell We were playing to- gethery The seventeenth 1s a 250+yard hole, with & chance to place an accurate drive on the green. However, the shot must be very accurate, for the fairway.in front of the green is nar- row—not more than 20 vards in width. The rough at either side is not par- ticularly penali &, however, being merely sand, so that one can still get down In three Wwith a good.chtp shot. One other hazard existed, but up to this time it had caused nobody any trouble. Hole high; about 20 yards to the right of the flag, a rabbit had burrowed fts home. ~Dogs, having discovered it, had dug out the hole until it had the width ot a good sized bucket. Jim Barnes had the honor. His drive ‘was. accurate as to direction, but a bit too strong, and he went clear over the green. I was next. Unfortunately, T pulled rhy shot & bit to the right, and what did it do but find this rabbit hole! éYou're in the big hole!” my caddie yelled back. This offered “Jock Hutchison, who loves a joke as well as any one in the world, his chance to banter. . “Now, Walter, Who played next, 'hole out,” too “Watch ‘me,” ‘rejoined Hagen, and he inrodeeded ‘to shoot into- the hole, Fight atop of my-ball! Could you beat it? Not in a thousand years. In the hilarity that followed Hutch- fson made the hole a complete flasco by hooking his drive. However, he and Barnes didn't suffer the tough luck that fell to Hagen and me. There being no local rule to cover the case, we had to pick out of the hole with a penalty of two strokes. Both of us took a 6 when ordinarily | we might have gotten 3s. The interesting sequel was that the three lost strokes would have given us @ tie with Barnes, who finally won the event, he sald to.

Basket Ball How is scientific and legitimate block- ing accomplished? BY JOHN SCHOMMER, Basket Ball Coach, Armour Institute, Former U. of C. Star. S In the first place, let it be under-| stood that blocking must be eleverly executed or it will be called ax a foul. Let us first take the standing block. A man ix dribbling down the floor closely followed by an opponent. He pivots, passes and stands stock still, back to the opponent. Thin ix legitl- mate and also a block, because the opponent will have t6 go around the blocker either to the right or the left and this effectively takes him out of | the play for the moment. In the run. ning block the dribbler passes with his back to his oppoment and them continues running down the floor, back always to the opponent, which | will produce the same effect the standing block, but will keep the op- posing player out of the play for a long period of time.

As a meas- ure of consolation for the sting- ing defeats he has suffered at the hands of Paavo Nurmi, his illustrious countryman, Ritola had the satisfac- tion of shattering three of the great Nurmi's records. Nurmi, until urday night, held the records 23 miles, 2% miles and 3,000 meters, marks which now are to the credit Ritola. Further, Ritola succeeded where Nurmi failed, for when the little American-developed Finn sped past the 2%-mile post in his flight| t) 5000 meters, Ritola shattered | the 12-year-old mark of Hannes| Kolehmainen, a record which Nurmi missed when he attempted it at the games of the St. Joseph's Catholic Club in Newark recently.

Sl NAVY’S CREW COACH LIKES LONG COURSE ANNAPOLIS, Md, January Commenting on the change of the distance of the Poughkeepsie regatta | from three to four miles, Richard J.| Glendon, Naval Academy rowing | coach, stated that, while he consid- | ered three miles long enough to af-| Ritola, the inspection of the timers' | reports vesgterday showed, flew past| the 23 -mile post in 10 minutes 36 2-5 | seconds, an improvement of five and | three-fifths seconds over the record | of 10.42 for the distance established | by Nurmi In Newark. At 233 miles| Ritola’s time was 11 minutes 48 4-5| seconds, or four and three-fifths| seconds faster than the record| of 11.52-5 madesby the once great| Kolehmainen back in 1913. These are | the two records which the A. A. U.| officials overlooked in the confuslon | of the meet. | When he passed the 2% -mile &tation in 13.011-5 Ritola shattered Nurmi's mark of 13.03 and at 3 miles the Finnish | club standard bearer was “caught” | in 14.113-5, displacing Ritola’s own mark of 14.154-5. Ritola’s time of | 14.392-5 for 5,000 meters shattered Nurmi's record of 14.44 3-5. The competition was one of the last important races of the season for Ritola, according to his present plans. Unlike Nurmi, Ritola has announced his intention of foregoing important races because of the demands re- quired of him in unbroken training and frequent races. Nurml to Be Busy. Nurmi, on the othet hand, plans to continue with the intensive active campaign he has undertaken and is confronted with a particularly busy week. The world's greatest athlete, his star undimmed despite his failure to overcome handicaps in Brooklyn on Saturday night, is scheduled to en- gage in races on each night of the important athletic carnival of the Millrose A. A., to be held tomorrow and Wednesday nights in Madison Square Garden: at thé games under the joint auspices of the 102nd En- gincer Regiment and the Morning- side A. C. in the Engineers’ drill shed on Friday night ,and at the classic gemes of the Boston A. A., in Boston on Saturday night. Incidently, this is-a program which is duplicated by that. of another international athletic star—Ugo Frigerio, Italian. walking star, who is to make his debut at the Millrose A. A. games, when he is scheduled to compete on each wight. Nurmi is promised a severe test to- morrow night when he toes the mark for the three-quarter mile special in- vitation race, & distance which is ad- mittedly a trifle short for the great runner from Abo. Nurmi's rivals will include Jole Ray, Lloyd Hahn, Jimmy Connolly and Leo Larrivee, according to the entries announced by the Mill- rose officlals.
