Summary 1 Totais Etwris (Cathoie By the Aseociated Press LONDON, Fcbruary 14.—Veterans whose performances have sent the Union Jack flving atop the Olympic victory pole in the past will ba Great Britain’s chief reliance in 'the 1928 athletic carnival at Anfsterdam. Two and possibly three of the British “Big Four” of the 1924 games at Paris will defend their titles. . Douglas G. A. Lowe, Olympic 800- meter champion and one of the greatest middle distance racers Eng- land has ever produced tops the track and field talent. He probably will captain the team unless that honor goes to the popular and titled hurdler, Lord “Davy” Burghley, who has exhibited his prowess both at home and abroad. Jack Beresford, jr., the Olympic sculling king. also is training to de- fend his laurels with the probability that his chief rival will be the crack Canadian youngster, Joe Wright, jr. Harold Abrahams, the Cambridge all-around star who ups:t American hopes by winning the 109-mieter dash four years ago, is out of competition but there is still hope that Eric Lid- dell, the 400-meter champion, will return from his missionary work in China for the Olympics. Abrahams suffered & breakdown after the last Olympics and has not run since, but England has a new candidate for sprint honors in M H. Hodge. who has done 100 yards in close to world record time. Lord Burghley will be a strong contender in ths 110-meter high as well as the 400-meter low hurdles. He has marks of 14 4-5 and 54 2-5 seconds for these events, both of which were won by Americans the last time. F. R. Gaby. five times British champion, and T. C.

February 14.—For the third time this season Lloyd Hahn has failed to esiablish a new indoor run- ning mark, chiefly becausc of conditions { over which he had no control. With the announced intention of | seeking to shatter Jimmy Connolly's world record for the two-thirds of a mile. Hahn appeared in a special event at the Elks' interscholastic meet here iast night only to find that Connolly and Willie Goodwin, scheduled to furn- ish the opposition for him, had failed 1o put in an appearance. Despite th: fact that he had no one to push him to his best stride, Hahn failed in his effort by only four-fifths runner and finishing the last four laps alone. Connolly's world mark, set five years ago, is 2:43 3-5 As it was. Hahn equaled the bst out- | door time for the distance, made in 1910 by Melvin Sheppard, old Olympic | star. Early in January Hahn established a new record for the half mile, only to see it disallowed because the track on which it was made lacked board mark- star came within two seconds of his own record for the 1000 yards, spite the fact that the field was in vertently sent around the track one lap too many and Hahn's time for the 1,000 yards, as a consequence, failed to in- clude his usual last lap spurt to the tape.

NEW YORK, February 14.—From a vantage point atop the Eastern Inter- collegiate Basket Ball League standing, the Univarsity of Pennsylvania sur-, veyed the rest of the pack today.

Dart- mouth, tied with Penn bafore last night's game, was shoved into second place with two victories in three starts Penn has won three and lost one. ‘The victory not only gave Penn sole ownership of the top wrung. but pro- vided Schaaf with a golden upportunity to take the lead in individual scoring honors—and the Penn guard did not fail to take advantage of {t.

EW YORK, February 14.—There is hardly a foot ball coach, ex- cept perhaps Knute Rockne— he teaches Notre Dame play- ers all they ever learn in weeks of intensive practice in March and April—who does not regard Spring practice either as a regrettable neces- sity or practically a useless gesture. In fact, certain coaches in the East have becn talking of an agreement whereby they will attempt to induce the faculties of their universities to per- mit practice to start on September 1. instead of September 15, and do away with Spring work-outs altogether. Therz would seem to be no good rea- | son why educational authorities should | not regard this as a very satisfactory change. It would give the foot ball men more opportunity to follow their | class-room work at a time when they need very much to do so. As for the coaches, they would cer- | tainly benefit inasmuch as in the Spring sister sports always claim val- uable members of the foot ball squad.

Muiqueen, chairman of the Ca- nadian Olympic committee. requested Gustavus T. Kirby of the American Olympic committee to forward the pro- posal to the committee sponsoring Los Angeles for the 1932 games. Mulqueen said if the request were granted the games would be staged in Montreal. In the dribble attack one prime cbject is to get the ball into the passing lanes. The skilled five knows where these are to be found In order to penetrate the two-line five-man defense by passing. a team must use these lanes. otherwise a passing attack iails. If you care- {ully watch the next game you ai- tend. you will find that most of the passes that lead to shots for the basket are down these lanes. The moves—cuts for the basket and re- verse turns from it up the court— ’an for the purpose of opening these anes. Take Pittsburgh's great five this season. They have this scheme worked to perfection. On the play ibove. No 2 dribbles and Nos. 3. 1 and 4 break for the basket. Thei opponents keep between them and the basket. Note how man No. 1 raverses into the clear lane for No 2 to pass to him. No other man is -lear to pass to. A similar passing lane exists on the other side of thc ~ourt when the attack is down that side Another method of attack is the driving. short pass game I' was sometimes used by North Cam lina this season with splendid r <ults L 2K 2R 2 | their foot ball representatives and in | a majority of cases these men cannot i be_withdrawn. Then too, there always seems to be something the matter with Spring practice. Players—except as stated above, at Notre Dame—seldom seem 1o get much out of it, and if the writer did ‘not misunderstand Biff Jones of the Army, he is going to confine all his attention this Spring to the plebe foot ballers. If the varsity squad practices ;;:n it will not be on a very intensive sis. If carly September practice were to supplant Spring work there can be no question that the change would be gen- erally beneficial. Track and field practice on the Pa- | cific Coast already has established Stan- | ford as unusually tizally every speciaity. fornia also is strong. although Dean Cromwell is talking pessimistically about the Trojan prospects.
