S OF BUILDING FOR MEETS| High and Prep School Boys Now Practically Out of Winter Competition, While Colleges Will Put Men in Only Northern Affairs. BY H. C. BYRD. i BANDOY T of its annual indoor track and fleld games, held every year for more than 25 vears, by Johns Hopkins University _practically elimi- yates opportunity for local track and ileld athletes to take part in indoor competition. Of course, this does not hold good for the few men Georgetown and Uni- versity of Maryland send to big North- ern games in New York and Boston, but it does keep the rank and file of men interested in indoor track work idle, because it is useless to train un- less there is something to train for in: the way of competition; at least that is the view of the average ath- lete. The only set of games to be held indoors in the whole South is that at Richmond on February 12, and the §ist of events in that is so limited that Tew athletes will zo from here to take part, Last year only two meets were held, the one at Richmond and that at Baltimore. Dropping of the meet | nt Baltimore resulted from the prac- tical failure of the games last Winter. Charley Hoff and an array of other stars were brought down at consid- erable expense, and the meet falled to pay for itself either financially or in general public interest. The Hop- kins authorities saw no reason why they should continue an event for PORTS University of North Carolina prob- ably has the best pects In foot ball for next kall of any university in the section. It will be in far better shape than last season. Not only will it have back almost its entire squad, but several men are going from the freshman to the varsity squad who should make good. Especially is this true of the backfield. The fresh- man line was not particularly strong, but the men behind that line were brilliant and are expected to fill the main lack of the varsity in 1926. Hackney, quarterback, is about the only one of the backs to be lost. The array of backfield material from the 1926 varsity which will be available next Fall comprises two quarterbacks, eight halfbacks and three fullbacks. These do not take into account the very good backs from the freshman squad. Incidentally, new rulings of the Southern Confer- ence have made eligible two or three other men for next year, among them McPherson, who gained such a repu- tation last season for long runs. One of the long jaunts he took was against TO GET LEAGUE LEAD Although they have not engaged in o league contest for several Palace Club pro basketers today a within half a game of the leading | Cleveland Rosenblums in the Ameri- | can Basket Ball League. ! Their big chance to take the lead in the first half of the pro circuit| race will come Friday and Saturday | nights at Cleveland, when they meet the Rosenblums. Tonight the Palace | Club tossers clash with the Fort/ Wayne floormen at Fort Wayne. Immediately after the Clevel game Saturday they will hop t Washington to meet Lou Sugarman’s Baltimore Orloles at the Arcadla Sun- day night. Basket ball has its surprises no less than foot ball, as the results of last night's league contests show. The strong Celtics of New York were trounced by the Phillies at Phila- delphia, 31 to 29, while Fort Wayne's Caseys fell before the Chicago Bruins, 85 to 36. Washington trounced Phila- delphia two weeks ago, then lost to the Celtics. Baltimore will come to Washington for the Sunday night game with a much _improved aggregation, led by foxy Lou Sugarman, who has made special preparations with the v downing the Capital City oalike Mumby, who formerly starred with Rochester, is a newcomer to land | to] outfit. Maryland in the game at College Park and was for a touchdown from his own 3-yard line. All three of the stellar players who featured in Ilne play and who stood out among the good linemen of the section will be back. Whisnant at guard, Moorehead at tackle and Swartz at center have one or more which there was little or no backing is the gist of a statement made by one of the Hopkins men. Lack of a place in which to hold a smeet precludes the possibility of any- Xhing of the kind in Washington. Catholic University has given some thought to a meet in its gymnasium 10 feature schoolboy competition, and 1f it ever had an opportunity to appeal 10 high school and prep school boys in a special field it seems that this 1s the one. 'Georgetown will attend many meets in the North this Winter, being due to send a relay team and several in- dividuals. Maryland is to send a relay four to four meets, buf will not have men In the special races. It is un- likely that any of the other local colleges will make any attempt to develop track before Spring. It is understood that Virginia also is to take advantage of opportunities to send a few men to t or three Northern meets, but as far as the other colleges in the South Atlantic section are concerned, in all probabil- ity they will get no indoor competi- tion. At the opportunity some college in the section -ought to try 1o hold a big indoor meet. George- town formerly made a success of i games, and the only thing that works 2gainst Georgetown resuming its ames is a lack of a building big enough to lay out a track.

From the fresh- man squad, besides the linemen will come two quarterbacks, six halfback: and three fullbacks. Everything considered, North Caro- lina feels very optimistic over its pros- pects for another year. Boxing seems to be taking quite a hold in some of the South Atlantic colleges, especially those in Virginia. Tt is likely that North Carolina State, North Carolina University, Wash- ington and Lee, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia Polytechnic Insti- tute and University of Virginia will be represented in the Southern Con ference boxing tournament to be staged at Charlottesville under the auspices of University of Virginia late this Winter. It is said that big crowds attend the boxing matches between college teams in Virginia, and that the stu- dent bodies are much interested in the sport. It is claimed by those who have charge of the sport in many of the colleges that it is not as bad as might be thought and that it is due to thrive as an intercollegiate sport. Just the opposite of the view In this section is the view of Colgate, which recently dropped boxing from its list of minor sports. A Colgate representative recently was asked, what he thought about boxing and no special case was made out, the Colgate man simply stating that if BASKET LEAGUE LEADERS ‘STAGE CONTESTS TONIGHT A twin bill at Washington Barracks tonight will usher in an arduous pro- gram_of floor contests for teams in the Washington Basket Ball.

NEW YORK, January 5.—Six weeks | of training will be required by Edwin Wide before the American public can have its first glimpse of the Swedish running sensation in competition.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 5.-—Glenn Thistlethwaite, who directed Northwestern to a tie for the 1926 Big Ten foot ball cham- pionship, is slated to succeed George Little as grid coach of the Univer: of Wisconsin, with official announcement expected from Madison toda Thistlethwaite's fiv ar contract with the Purple expires next June, and according to prevailing reports he will assume command of the Madison squad next Fall. Little, who went to Wisconsin two years ago from the University of Michigan, where he was assistant to “Hurry Up" Yost, heretofors has served both as grid ' coach and athletic director, but will center his entire attention on Qirectorate duties in_ the future. Herb Steger, backfleld coach at rthwestern, is spoken of as a possible successor to Thistlethwaite at Northwestern. If appointed, Steger will be the youngest foot ball coach in_the conference. He starred both as a prep school player in Oak Park and later for fhree rs at the University of Michigan at halfback, being named twice on all-Western teams. He has been backfield coach at Northwest- ern the last two seasons and was credited with developing Captain- elect Gustafson and “Tiny” Lewls. The former Wolverine player's name was mentioned almost simul- taneously with yesterday's first inti- matlons of Wisconsin's bid for his chief's services. At the same time it was reported that. Northwestern's board had been considering R. J. Dunn, line coach, as successor to the much sought after “Gloomy Gus," but that Purple officials had learned Dunn had been made an offer by Harvard. May Seem Sure to OACH Jack Collins’ Business High team that takes the floor against Tech at the Arcadia Auditorium Friday afternoon in the second half of the double-header opening the public high school basket ball champlonship series is a combination formidable in all save one position—center. In Dick Keefer and Bernard Jones, who are expected to start at forwards, and Charlie May and Tony Stewart, who doubtless will hold forth at guards the Stenographers have a group com- parable with the strongest schoolboy fives of the section. Collins, how- ever, has been unable to make a defi- nite selection for center. He has a pair of alert, promising boys alter- nating at the post in Revell Jones and Charlie Marks, but both are handicapped by lack of experience. Collins has not decided which one he will start Friday. Al Harrington was performing at the pivot job for Busi- ness, but has been lost to the team e of scholastic difficulties. aps the player that will stand out most conspicuously for business on Friday will be Dick Keefer. Few tossers as speedy and with as much natural ability as the 16-year-old boy have appeared in the line-ups of local scholastic quints in recent years. Col- lins says that if the youngster has any fault it is that of too much speed. The Business mentor predicts that Keefer, who formerly flashed senas- tionally for the Boys' Club Celtics, is destined to become a real star. Bernard Jones, the other first-string forward, is a performer of tried worth who finds the cords consistently and plays cleverly generally. Charlie May and Tony Stewart are sturdy guards who have demonstrated convincingly that they know their bustiness.

One already has been formed and definite plans made for entering the Washington Recreation League. Practice is held each Tuesday and Friday evening from 5:30 to 7 o'clock in the Epiphany gymnasium under the direction of Al Matthews, volun- teer coach. The team already has competed in one game—an exhibition affair in which it opposed the Ar- cadians last Sunday night, playing under boys’ rules. However, accord- ing to Coach Matthews, the team will compete strictly as a sextet under girls’ rules in the regular schedule of games if it enters the Recreation League, as Is now planned. A permanent captain and manager have not yet been selected for the team. Coach Matthews has been act- ing as temporary manager in addition to his coaching duties. Among the girls included in the squad are Louise Barnes, Mildred Blandford, Concha Ackad, Romaine Donnelly, Gladys Flood, Beatrice Rollins, Agnes Pear- son, Marie King, Ethel Carter, Be- atrice- Flaherty, Marietta Wallace, Helen Stanford, Osie Van Horn, Pauline Wright, Cartha Grove and Dolly Thurm. This is the first year that the West- inghouse girls have attempted an or- ganized sport program, and the plan has been greeted most enthusiastical- ly. Following the basket ball season the group plans to inaugurate a ten- nis schedule, running off a round-robin series of matches among themselves if sufficient interest is aroused in the court game. Directors of the various features of the recreational program arranged for tonight at Central High School by the local N. A. A. F. group will in- clude Ethele Swenson, in charge of fundamental gymnastics; Louise Sullivan, who will handle the volley hall group; Virginia Griffith, in- in folk dancing, and Miss This to participate in physical activities under the direction of trained leaders.

METZGER The quintet that can control the tip-off has about a 75 per cent edge in a game of basket ball, for it gives them, all else being equal, control of the ball for that portion of the playing time. There is little skill required in jumping at tip- off. The main thing is to crouch, as the figure on the left is doing, spring upward as the refer tosses the ball upward and tap it in the direction signaled as it reaches its greatest height. Control of the tip-off was one of the prime reasons why the Fort Worth Panthers won six out of nine games a year ago during one of the oddest string of contests ever played. These nine games were placed in Mexico—the first time an American basket ball team has invaded a Southern country. Mexico took to basket ball like a duck to water. Immense crowds attended the games and the invad- ing team spent the days sightsee- ing In high-powered touring cars provided by the various cities vis- ited. Incidentally, the Panthers won the Mexican championship, as they defeated both Mexico City and Monterey in a two out of three game series with each. A favorite tipoff play of the Panthers is shown in the diagram, the ball being tipped to the left forward, passed to the right guard and dribbled by him to the basket for a shot.
