His last effort along the line was a 69 at the Washington Golf and Coun- try Club. Roland MacKenzie has ideal golfing traits. He is extremely modest and is not inclined to play to the gallery. His golf is of the steady machine- like type that Bobby Jones developed in winning the amateur last year. In other words, Roland always isshooting for his par and letting his opponent do what he may. Between the morning and afternoon rounds of the finals in a recent tournament, he disappeared completely. It was found later that he had hopped in his car and driven to his own club for a sandwich and ks. | @ glass of milk, returning just in time to tee off. There was no basking in the limelight. “The kid is clever,” said Freddie McLeod to the writer, “and, oh, bo: | his is the ideal age for this game. What wouldn't I give to be 18 again and laying them straight down the course and close to the pin!” As he spoke Freddle was watching Roland playing four balls down the eighteenth fairway at Columbia. All of the second shots were within short putting distance of the flag. That is the way the claimant for the crown practices. He goes out alone with his caddy and plays four balls all the way around, virtually condensing four rounds into one. Roland is tall, fair and slender. His drives have the power of an Abe Mitchell behind them.

W. Rublen, secretary-treasurer o’ the Amateur Athletic Union, with a desire to “whitewash” the famous Finnish ath- letes, Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ritola, and thelr interpreter-manager, Hugo Quist, recently accused of attempts to collect exorbitant expense accounts, was {ssued today by K. L. Wilson, athletic director of Drake University, one of their accusers. Referring to the action in New York on Saturday of a committee of the athletic union of which Rubien was the head, and which exonerated the Finnish athletes and criticized Wilson for engaging a representative to obtain Nurmi’s entry in the Drake relays and for making an offer to Nurmi in violation of amateur rules, Wilson accused Rubien of “belittling one who insists on conducting ama- teur athletics on the square.” Declaring Rublen should be inter- ested in “making an_ honest, impar- tlal investigation” of his charges, Wilson suggested that Rublen inves- tigate and answer these questions: “Why did the officlal investigator, appointed to consult with Wilson re- garding his part in the affair, tell Wilson what kind of an affidavit he would like to have him swear to? “Why did the A. A. U., after exonerating Quist of all gullt, refuse to let him manage Nurmi any longer? “Why have Nurmi's future deals been canceled and arrangements been made to hurry Nurml back to Fin- land? “Why is Dr. Bainbridge of Phila- delphia accused of being a political schemer because, as an A. A. U. official, he has suggested that the conditions of Nurml's appearance in Philadelphia should be investigated, and why is an attempt made to be- little him for asking that a full in- vestigation be made?"” “I have not been assuming the role nor have I attacked g the statement said. “In fact, I assumed that A. A. U. officials would welcome information re- garding the possible misdeeds on the part of any of the athletes or officlals connected with this association, I have been somewhat surprised that I have been attacked by the A. A. U. officials because I told the truth re- garding Quist's demands. “Instead of acting as an impartial investigator and judge, Mr. Rubien’s desire to wield the whitewash brush has been all too apparent. “When the A. A. investigates its own activities the public is entitled to a full report of the charges and re- buttal. The A. A. U. apparently has attempted to becloud the issue by making personal attacks on those who told the truth regarding possible vio- lations of the A. A. U. rule: Wilson reiterated his charges that Quist sought exorbitant expense fees for the appearance of Nurmi and Ritola in the Drake relays here April 24-25 ¢ TWO CALIFORNIA TEAMS IN COLLEGIATE GAMES PHILADELPHIA, May 13 (A.P.).— Announcement was made today that 30 universities and colleges—3 more than last year—would compete in the annual 1. C. A. A. A. A. track and fleld meet on Franklin Field May 29 and 30. The entry list closed last night. Southern California, with 16 en- trants, and the University of Califor- | nia, with 18, will be represented, but Leland Stanford, which finished third last vear, is not entered. All the leading Eastern coleges, in- | cluding Yale.

Just how this_would work out prac- tically has afforded an interesting topic for discussion. It is generally agreed that such a system of coaching could not develop teams approximating the ability of those produced under pr condi- tions. Also it would greatly reduce the number of games plaved against other colleges, since only those whose teams were put on the field under similar conditions would be met. As to the game itself, it is arsucd | (- that much of the finesse taught by the coaches is not observed by tie spectators, and hence there woull be litile or no falling off in interest in the game among students and alumni.

NEW YORK, May 13.—Frederick W. Rubien, national secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union, has an- nounced that arrangements had been completed for Paavo Nurmi to race in the Harvard Stadium in a 1-mile event on Friday, May 22. After the consent of Nurmi had been obtained. negotiations for the use cf the stadium were made through Fred erick Moore, an athletic director at the Cambridge universi The race will provide for Nurmi an opportunity to attempt to break his own_ mile record of 4:102-5 as well as the Harvard track mark of 4:12 35, sct by Norman Taber in 1915. Rubien also said that Nurmi had indicated he would accept an invita- tion to run in a half-mile race at the proposed night games of the Finnish- American A. C. at the Yankee Stadium under powerful arc lights on May 26 The A. A. U. official declared that the reported “break” of the Finnish running marvel and his manager, Hugo Quist, had becn exaggerated. “It was at my request that Quist re- mained in New York when Nurmi went to Massachusetts last week to compete at Fitchburg and Worcester," he explained. “The A. A. U. had not vet completed its investigation to the charges of excessive expense de- mands alleged to have been made by Quist for appearances of Nurmi in the West, and we desired to question him further. Relations between the runner and his manager, however, wers not severed, and they are still on the best of term: Nurmi has booked THE R B, STORE OF home in Finland.
