Catholic U. and Gallaudet Wi OUTCLASSESW. &L. Plays Brilliantly in Opening Game of Season That | Ends 45 to 23. ! | { Catholie University's great basket | ball team ran. passed, trod and shot | ite way-to a brilliant victory over | Washington and Lee last night in its | opening game. The score 45 to 23, and there was nothing in the wa of good basket ball that the winne; did not display. It was one game in | which there literally and figuratively, | or in any other way it might be ex- | presesd, was nothing to it except C. U. Taking out C. U.'s excellent pla and that in the second half, with sub- stitutes in, slowed up, the game was uninteresting. The Brooklanders got | 10 points before Washington and | Lee scored and the count at the end of the half was 28 to . Lives Up to Expectations. | it was the first appearance of the Brookland quint, but it made good all | that has been predicted for it by | Coach Fred Rice and everybody else who has watched it practice. It pre- sented pracucally the same line-up | as lust yeur und,the team, after it got | warmed up n the opening three or | four minutes, displayed more basket | ball in any two minutes than Wash- ington and Lee did during the whole halr, he first n and 1 in rds, w t as the 5 minutes found Washing utterly unable to solve a Harvey and Foley. oring alternately pleased.

In the second half the Brooklanders' | guards play did not go so well, but Long kept up his attack pretty well. Had he remained in the game there is no telling buw many points he would have scored. He played only about five minutes of the second half, but n | that time got four goals, making his | total for the evening nine. That many goals for one player in a basket bail game is scoring with a vengeance. | Spotts was the one player in the | Washington and Lee line-up who seemed able to shoot accuftel Despite the fact he was covered pret- ty well he counted five goals from the fioor, two in the first half and three in the second. Incidentally, Spotts | seemed to be the one Washington and Lee man who was able to find his way about the floor to some real purpose. Washington and Lee played as well as it knew how, but it simply did not measure up to the standard of its oppanent. It could not shoot as well, it was not as far*, and it did not know anything like as much basket ball as | its foe. It was a green team against | an excellently coached, experienced aggregation of plavers, and there was only one answer. , The only substitution - made by Catholic in the first half was Shields for Keale, the former going to center and Carney dropping out of | center to take the forward position. That combination seemed even better than the firet. 1In the second half Coach Rice sent in several substitutes, | using more than two full teams, but | the second stringers did not have the | punch ner much of the real basket ball stuff that was shown by the first | five. 2 { The game marked the conclusion of | the trip for Washington and Lee and Catholic U.'s only one until after the ! holtdays. The game was cleanly played and remarkably free from called fouls. Only one foul was drawn by C. U. and two by Washington and Lee. Line-up and Summary. (45). Positions.

PHILADELPHIA, December 18.— The Frankford Yellow Jackets of this city today won the National League professional foot ball championship by holding the Pottsville (Pa.) team to a tie, neither team scoring. The game was played in extremely cold weather, but 7,000 persons were out to see the contest. The weather was too cold for good foot ball, and both teams resorted to much punting. Had Frankford lost today the Chi- cago Bears would have had a chance to capture the title by winning their game tomorrow with the Green Bay LEADER BLUNDON IS IN EVENT AT TRAPS yards, W. C. Blundon yesterday won the last leg on the rly vardage trophy of Washington Gun Club, which gave him possession of it after one pf the keenest annual competi- tions® ever staged over the Benning traps. R. D. Morgan was runner-up with 12 legs. Morgan, however, achieved the dou- bles trophy yesterday, to end another spirited contest. He won on a toss after darkness prevented further shoot-offs with F. P, Willlams, with whom he was tied, each with four wins to his credit. H. H. Shelton, powdering 46 in 50 from 16 yards, won the spoon. Capt. H. M. Horton gained the added bird award with a string of 44 in 50.

MICHIGAN ALL-TIME BIG TEN GRID LEADER | | GO, December 18. The thirteen years' campaign toward the enemy’s goal posts, since the big ten reached it's present status in 1913, gives the University of Michigan the | most to brag about in the winter re- | view of foot ball glory. The Wolverines dropped out of the | conference the same year Ohio State was admitted as the tenth member |in 1913, but came back again | four years later, and have won 27 of | their 38 “Big Ten" contests on the gridiron since that time. ‘With four years absence, Michigan has played but half the number of “Big Ten" foot ball games on Chicagh’s record, but Stagg's squad has won 44 of its 75 games in those thirteen years, and is close behind Michigan. In all those years three of, the “RBig Ten" schools have played but one tie game aplece—Michigan, Towa | and Northwestern; while Wisconsin has played ten no-decision games.

Towa TAXPAYERS FOOT LITTLE OF BILLS FOR ATHLETICS Big Ten Figurés Show That Only $100,000 of Their Money Went for Sports, While Foot Ball Fans-Alone Contributed $2,500,000. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, December 18.—Tess than $100,000 of the tax- payers’ money went into the college athletics of the Big Ten universities in 1926, the annual balaneing of the hooks showed tonight, while the public as spectators contributed nearly $2,- 500,000 for foot ball alone. Public funds at the eight State- supported schools of the conference contribute all the way from nothing to a maximum -of about §23,000 a vear for sports at these institutions, but the public eagerness to fill big- ger and better stadia at goodly prices makes the athletic departments al- most the only self-supporting branch of the schools. Geis No State Money. Ohio State is one of several schools in the Big Ten which receives no money from the State treasury for sports, but from foot ball receipts the athletic department gives $30,000 and considerable service, besides, to the alumni organization and other non-athletic activities, for which there is no budget provision. Michigan has added $2,000,000 to the value of the university real estate through athletic profits, with the State as a formality, con- tributing a small sum for salaries, and the sports department returning this many times over in purchase of jand and buildings. The public this year at Michigan contributed $350,- 000 for foot ball tickets, while the taxpaver gave a net sum of aboul $12,000. The University .of Minnesota re- ceives one of,the largest’ State con- tributions in the conference, § but the foot hall profits this were ten times that sum, so they built a new stadium and plan a field house without coaxing the legisla- ture. Tllinois receives an inconsequen- tial sum for sports in the State budget, but the distribution of its profits this year has led to an odd complication. A benefit game for the Walter Camp Memorial raised $4,000, but when it came time to send jt in there seemed no authority for giving away this “State money,” and it may require an act of the legiglature to forward this public_contribution te- ward the arch for the father of foot ball at Yale. Support Own Athletics, Sports at lowa and Wisconsin Hke- wise are self-supporting youths eon- tributing to their parental support. Purdue receives' §15,000 from the State and gives back §150,000 a year in various forms of student training and real estate. Northwestern and Chicago, receiv- Ling no tax money, are among those which, find themselves able to sup- port activities unrelated to sports through the foot ball fans' generosity. Divided among the 26,000,000 peo- ple in the seven States of the West- ern Conference, the xpayers' in- dividual _contribution to Big Ten sports this year was about one- fourth of 1 cent. NATION’S SPORT BILL LOW IN COMPARISON AMES, lowa, December 18. (). — The Nation's sporting goods bill for last year was between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000, Major John L. Griffith, Big Ten athletic commissioner, said here today. He considers the cost of athletics as low when compared to some of our other national pastimes. Maj. Griffith spoke before a basket ball rules interpretation conference of 200 coaches, officlals and school authorities. The commissioner anticipates an in- crease in the respect of coaches and players for the rule makers in the future, declaring the day was passing when a coach might train his men to deliberately violate rules when they believe they can do so without penalty. DELANEY AND MALONEY ARE CHOICES IN BOUTS By the Associated Prese. NEW YORK, December 18.--Jack Delaney, - world 175-pound hoxing champion, and Jim Maloney of Boston have been established favorites in the two major heavyweight bouts sched- uled next week.

Miller's statement was in answer to a declaration by Kearns, the title- holder": manager, in Chicago last night that Flowers would not be given a chance to regain the title before next Summer and ‘then only upon a $200,000 guaranty for the champion. T accepted considerably less than he is asking for risking the champion- ship, and while I don’t blame Kearns for getting every dime he can out of the return match, I feel absolutely certain that I have him tied up to articles that will not only force him to go through with the match, but ones that will enable Flowers and my- self to get redress through the courts for damages provided he defaults in carrying out his agreement to the let- ter,” Miller said. . ATHLETES' MUSCLES TO BE SCRUTINIZED By the Associated Press. ITHACA, N. Y., December 18 (@). ~—The muscles of Cornell University athletes are to come under a closer scrutiny than is given them even by members of the coaching staffs. They are to be studied by Dr. Archibald Vivien Hill' F. R. S., winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1922 and now Fullerton research professor of physiology at the University of Lon- don. Dr. Hill is coming to Cornell in February to fill the George Fisher Baker non-resident lectureship in chemistry for the second term of the academic year, and twhile on the campus will pursue his experimental researches into the mechanics of the muscles, using Cornell huskies as his | material. Announcement of the ap- pointment was made tonight by Prof. L. M.

The next was Hurd Willett of (ieorge Washington Uni- versity, who was eighth. Besides Hopkins, George Washing- ton was the only organization that entered the five men required for a team. The Colonials were eliminated from consideration for the team tro- phy when Floyd S. Pomeroy dropped out of the going because of a pulled tendon. Course Is Difficult. Agee ran a heady race to win in 34 minutes 37 3-5 seconds. This was con- sidered fine time for the course, which was across the ice and snow over the roughest kind of ground. The doughty little 2 ar-old news- boy was satisfied to keep at the heels of the pace setters for most ofgthe route. He finished strongly, beating G. Richards Gwinn of Johns Hopkins, Middle State collegiate champion, who was runner-up, across the line by 8 vards. Herman M. Schiebel, another Hopkins man, was some 200 s be- hind Gwinn, followed by Domigan. The three leaders fought it out among themselves from the start. Agee was setting the pace at the end of the first lap. Gwinn had gone to the front as the second half ended, but midway of the final 2 miles, when the pair had drawn well away from Schiebel, Agee swept ahead to stay. Agee Repeats Beat. It was the second time in three years that Agee has beaten Gwinn by about the same margin in the fix- ture. In 1924 the Baltimoreah com: quered the Hopkins man at College Park.
