SPORTS, Zuppke Scores Foot Ball Critics DROPPING OF ‘GRID SPORT » BY STEVENS STIRS COACH Sees Stadiums as Typifying Sportsmanship and Of- i fers Rugged Men as Against Slush Novels, Lounge Lizards, Flapping Trousers. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. N selves for the grueling sport EW YORK. June 12—With Stevens Institute of Technology aban- doning foot ball on the ground that students cannot play the game with safety unless they devote more time to fitting them- than its curriculum will allow, there Beems certain to follow a flurry of opposition to the sport throughout the country. Educators who have deprecated the growing significance of the game, ‘who have viewed with alarm its vast growth in popularity with the general public, vet have hesitated to take action against it, or at least to express their ~opinions. will find expected. 'This being so, a few timely in behalf of the great Autumn sport sre likely to prove wholesome and antiseptic at this time. And who bet- ter qualified to utter them than that st master of foot ball instruction, obert Zuppke of the University of Tlinois? Zuppke, who combines with his ability to teach foot ball a militant love of the game and an artistic soul that finds expression through mwedium of brush and palette. Robert, in fact, is off alone with nature, as this is written, slapping off jandscapes which ave far from ignoble from the standpoint of feeling and technique. At any rate, listen to Rob- ert Zuppke: Is Age of Stadiums. “Authentically, we are now in the mtadium age, an age that will be of inestimable benefit to the Nation at lavge. On the one hand we have the mmammoth stadium expressing sports- manship in its highest degree, on the other the slush novel, the lounge lizard and the flapping trousers—take your choice.” Is there any choice? Is softness to be held a virtue and the brave rugged things of the gridiron, are they to stand assay as time wasted and en- ergy futilely expended? This will be for educators and regents and trustees to debate among themselves. In the meantime lovers of the gridiron sport will want Zuppke to get his whole case in. “Civilization,” he says, “follows the themselves Humphreys of Stevens and his collcagues have done. words | ball. bulwarked by what President Brave talk may be Red Grange is as much of an artist as a man or woman who paints upon canvas, or writes. He is one of the greatest symbols of clean living in the land. If Grange eats spinach every boy in the State of Illinols wants to do the same thing. The youngsters come to realize that Red can only be a great athlete because he is a clean living yvoung fellow and they naturally scek to emulate him. ‘A long run by Grange is just as artistic as a dance by Pavlowa. There is the same rhythm in Red's soul. Ther: may be even more art in Grange’s run—no one tries to knock Pavlowa down.” 3 Needs Serious Consideration. Foot ball should be taken as seri- ously by every one as Bob Zuppke takes it. It is a great game and from the standpoint of national well-being, an essential game. But it will be more valuable and vital in degree as its intramural aspects are accentuat- ed, as at Notre Dame, West Point and Annapolis. ‘Where a Red Grange stands on one hand, and a thousand lounge lizards with their flapping pants on the other, the importance of foot ball as a developer of physique, endurance, courage and the like is inadequately realized. The cause of foot ball is better argued when the college fields are crowded with class, fraternity and club elevens than when the many gather to see a few carefully selected specialists perform.

CUP TENNIS IS DELAYED BY BIG SOCCER CONTEST VIENNA, June 12 (#).—The desire of Count Ludwig Salm Hoogstraten, Austria’s ranking tennis player, to witness the Uruguay-Vienna soccer foot ball match caused a postponement yesterday of the opening matches in the second round of the Davis cup elimination competition between Aus- tria and India. The foot ball game proved an un- precedented counter attraction. Sev- enty thousand spectators were present, and the Davis cup players would have competed before empty seats if Count Salm had not iniervened.

CHICAGO, June 12 —Weeding out of competing athletes from 62 colleges and universities was the program to- day for the opening of the fourth an- nual track and fleld championship of the National Collegiate meet at Stagg Field, University of Chicago. Trials in the 100-yard dash, 220- vard low hurdles, 440-yard run and half-mile run were set for 3:30. Keen competition in the qualifying events | was expected, with elimination of sev- eral men in each event certain. Several world records in both field events and track events were endan- gered, for the entries were all-star, from the century to the hammer throw.

Division Titles Decided. Throughout the past two weeks di vision meets have been held for the purpose of determining the entrants in the big city meet. Boys placing 1, 2 and 3 in each event in the division clashes are qualified to repre- sent their schools in the competition for the championship. Division cham- pions also have been decided, but, as competition in the title encounter is not limited to members of teams taking first honors in the division engagements, it is possible for some dark horse team to step in and cap- ture the prize tomorrow. Four meets were held vesterday. Thomson School carried off the New York avenue championship with 106 points. In the Virginia avenue di- vision Bryan School led with 62% counters, while John Burroughs School easily defeated all comers in the Bloomingdale division with a total of 81 points. The Smallwood squad won its first title in the Garfield division with 51 points, its nearest competitor, the Wallach School, taking only 16. Force-Adams athletes recently took first place among the Georgetown schools, and the Maury School cleaned up in the Rosedale division. After losing to Monroe last year, following an unbroken string of eight champion- ships, the Ross team hit its stride again and placed first in the Columbia Heights division. The Plaza title went to the Peabody team. New Marks Expected. In the city mebt last vear eight records were broken and officials are expecting a few more marks to be smashed tomorrow with 300 boys, rep- resenting 78 schools, striving for honors. One record that is practi- cally certain to be lowered is the high jump mark of 5 feet 6 inches, set in 1922 by Adolph Bond, at pres. ent the captain of stern High School's track team, when jumping for Peabody School. Herman Riley, also of Peabody, has bettered Bond's mark on several occasions and is favored to repeat in tomorrow’s ex- hibition. Don Adams and Charlie Pugh of Maryland University and Jimmy Con- nolly of Georgetown, will act as judges of finish in the city meet, while James White and John McDonald will serve as timers. Angus Heeke and Lewis Thomas will handle the broad jump, Paul O'Donnell is in charge of the high jump and Horace Tally will run off the hop, step and Jump. Maude Parker and Nina White will serve as scorers. The kid athletes will be divided into four classes, according to weight, 85 pounds, 100 pounds, 115 pounds and unlimited.

N hundreds of golf courses the player with narrow shoulders and a biceps measurement that is not all which could stepping out with a new light of hope and ambition in his eye. be desired now The victory of Willie Macfarlane in the national open has given him a new idea of his of a blacksmith and muscles of steel. To be sure, Francis Ouimet con- quered those mighty men Ray and Varden In another open championship vears ago. It is also true that the veteran Travers, who set the un- beaten record of winning four ama- teur champlonships and one open, Wwas not an espectally bulky citizen And, as time goes on, more little fellows are rapidly forging to the front. The diminutive golfer now remem- bers that Cyril Walker, who weigh: only about 120 pounds or thereabout: annexed the open championship of 1924; and row comes the triumph of Willie Mz farlane, whose slender form is equally unimpressive. The sport: ters, in general, could not see Willie Macfarlane at all. They sald he lacked the physique and the stamina necessary to go throug the gruelling ordeal of an ope championship, and they were amazed, indeed, when he played off two tie with the sturdy and husky Bobb: Jones and came through a winner. Thus it is that the small portion golfer is now beginning to realize that when the professional tells him to “let the club do the work” it is something more than talk. The lightweight professionals and ama. teurs who have gained distinction have not only accomplished that perfect timing which sweeps the bail sharply off the tee or up from the fairway, but they choose their clubs with exceeding care. They select clubs not only suited to their stature and strength, but which can deliver long, accurate shots with the mini. | mum amount of muscular effort. Perhaps the lightweight needs to give more time to the d velopment of his game and select h clubs with more care than do ponderous lads of_their muscles. But events have proved that in the severest kind of tests the light and slight fellow stands a good chance against heavyweights.
