PITTSBURGH, Pa., December 9.— ‘A number of University of Pittsburgh students who lost wagers that Pitt ‘would defeat Penn State on Thanks- giving, were asked to appear today ‘against a betting commissioner,” al- Jeged to have absconded with their funds. ng The day before the game, a man calling himself “C. E. Hugus, repre- sentative of a New York broker,” es- Aablished himself at a hotel near the _‘campus and sent letters to fraternity houses offering to place bets on Pitt ‘against State at odds of ten to seven. Trade was brisk. *“Hugus,” students charge, accepted their money and is- sued receipts. % After the game, the “Commissioner"” could not be located and several “vie- tory celebrations had to be postponed for lack of funds. C. J. (Red) Schinninger, of Altoona, Pa., was arrested at that place yes- terday and brought to Pittsburgh, where he was charged with larceny in connection with the betting. Schin- ninger said he acted in behalf of a man mamed “Hugus,” but students said Schinninger and “Hugus” were one and the same. Schinninger, how- r, declared he would be able to ‘square” himself with the students ‘#t his hearing. :SILVER BOWL IS TROPHY FOR AMATEUR CUE EVENT NEW YORK, December (#).—A shuge silver bowl will be placed in com- “petition for amateur 18.1 balkline bil- rd gtars in a championship tourna- ‘raent opening here January 9.

THREE OF LEADING ASPIRANTS-FOR TECH HIGH BASKET BALL TEAM BIG.TEN BASKETERS T0 START TOMORROW By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 9.—The pre- liminary rounds of the Western con- ference basket ball season get started tomorrow night at eight of the 10 schools, when non-conference oppo- nents invade the big 10 ranks for the first of five pre-season practice games. The conference matches start January 7, with a_12-game schedule. Jowa already has launched its basket ball year with a non-confer- ence victory, and tackles Notre Dame Monday night. Purdue is not yet ready to start. The opening games tomorrow night are: Wabash at Northwestern. Monmouth at Chicago. ad Knox at Illinois. Michigan State at Michigan. Franklin at Indiana. Coe at Wisconsin. Cornpell at Minnesota. Ohio Wesleyan at Ohio State. .- NAVY IS DEPENDENT ON “OUTSIDE” GAMES ‘While most colleges are dependent upon foot ball for the bulk of their funds for athletic purposes, the Naval Academy derives its only revenue for this purpose from grid games that are played outside of Annapolis. The charging of an admission fee to games at Annapolis is not forbid- den by law or regulation, but is con- trary to custom and the feelings of officers of the Navy. The Navy eleven played four games away from home last season and to the largest total number of spectators of any midshipmen team in history. It will play the same number of games on other fields next season, but there is reason to believe that there will be a considerably increased attendance. Approximate attendance at the big games played by the Naval Academy : Notre Dame, in Bal- ennsylvania, in Phila. Michigan, at nn Arbor, £0,000; Military Academy, at New Yol 70,000. This is a total of 270,000. The expected attendance for the big games next season is: Notre Dame, at Soldier Field, Chicago, 125,000: Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, 75,000; Michigan, in Baltimore, 50,000; Mili- tary Academy (place to be selected), 110,000. This total is 360,000, The seating capacity of Soldier Field, Chicago, is to be increased to 125,000, and those in touch with conditions believe that it will be filled for the Navy-Notre Dame game. If so, it will be the largest crowd which has at- :ended a foot ball game in this coun- Ty. The Naval Academy, which picks the grounds for the next Army-Navy game, will insist upon a minimum of 100,000 seats, but it is believed that there will be 110,000. Though the Naval Academy team plays more games away from home than previously, the trips are so ar- ranged that there is slight interfer. ence with the routine of training, and no special privileges are allowed the players. _—— WILL PLAY GAITHERSBURG.

PHILADELPHIA, December 9.—Dr. Otto Peltzer, great German middle-dis- tance runner, is disappointed because the German athletic board refused him permission to participate in races while he is in this country study American athletic methods. He would like so much to run on in- door tracks in the United States that he has asked Lawson Robertson, Uni- versity of Pennsylvania track and field coach, to make an effort to obtain the German board's sanction. Robertson promised to do so, but could offer but little hope of success. Dr. Peltzer, conqueror of Paavo Nurmi and holder of several world running records, spent two ho yes- terday looking over Penns a 'S athletic plant, then went to Washing- ton to visit Georgetown University. “I should very much like to run in | the 1,500 meters and the 800 meters | here this Winter,” said the German star. “The federation at home will not let me run, but I am old enough to know what is best for me. They are afraid 1t would hurt me for the Olym- pic games next Summer, but I am sure it would not.” Dr. Peltzer * stopped to watch a wrestling bout between members of the Penn team, who were performing as though a world's championship were at stake. “Now I can see why Americans win Olympic games,”+said the visitor. “If that is the way. Americans play their games it is no wonder they win.” An invitation was extended Peltzer to run in the Penn relays next April, but because of the German athletic board’s stand he said he would have to_decline.
