ABADENA, Calif, January 2.— The Golden Tornado of Geor { Tech today held a claim to the Nation'’s mythical foot ball 1 championship honors as the re- ‘gult of its strangely wrought 8-to-7 fvictory over the Golden Bears of Cali- ornia in the Rose Bow) New Year day lassic here. ! Tech’s victory was due, in part at least, /&0 a spectacular blunder by Roy Riegels, fcenter and captain-elect of the Western leleven, who in the second period ran ps yards in the wrong direction, giv- ing the Dixie Tornado an advantage which was turned into a safety and 2-point lead that won the game. © A play that has been the subject of lmany gridiron plots and the basis of )many a magazine thriller, but seldom seen on a foot ball field was that which Riegels made inadvertently when he Rost his bearings. Neither side had scored. ‘Tech had he ball on its ewn 25-yard line. Stumpy Thomason, Tech halfback, fumbled, Riegels snatched up the ball and started for the Georgian's goal. | He progressed a few steps, then wheeled labout and headed for his own goal line. ;fSeventy thousand foot ball fans watched amazement as Riegels streaked down he fleld.

Lom gradually overtook him. Once it looked jas if Lom were going to make a fly- ing tackle of his teammate, as he was [within diving distance, but he evidently jexpected to turn Riegels around. { Not until Riegels reached the 1-foot ark did Lom overtake him. Lom then pulled Riegels by the shoulder and tioned toward the opposite goal. fRiegels stopped, and at that instant two rgia Tech players tackled him and hrew him over the goal line.

EW YORK, January 2.—Riegel’s 75-yard run toward his own goal in the Georgia Tech-Cali- fornia game at Pasadena on New Year day was by no means an unprecedented incident. Con- fusion as to one's own goal may well occur in the heat of conflict, particularly in the case of a back field man who may have been jarred on a previous play. But never has such a thing happened in a game of the importance of that battle in the Rose Bowl, where two representative intersectional teams were battling for supremacy. General sym- pathy will go out to Riegals, sympathy the more keen inasmuch as in the last analysis his mistake affected the out- | come of the game. Following the contest over the radio it would seem that the game went to the eleven which was the better pre- pared to take advantage of breaks. Georgia Tech, for that matter did some fumbling and committed other misplays but without the costly results which attended California’s errors and other adverse shifts of fortune. Calif¢ owed- a- ‘attack of merit and no doubt surprised both her opponents and her friends by. it. it when all is said arid done it was Bears’ splendid passing game which ASHINGTON GRAYS basket ball team will invade Con- Bros.

As the writer said would be the case the element of psychology figured very definitely in this game. Tech came to California inspired by high resolve and working out of the game showed how difficult it is to defeat a team thus endowed. California lost no prestige at all in this set back. She did her part to make a great exhibition foot ball game thrilling and all foot ball lovers, not swayed by partisan emotion, will agree that the game as easily as not could have gone either way. As for Tech she has added further prestige to Dixie foot ball. Alabama came twice to Pasadena, defeating Washington and tieing Stanford.

DALLAS, January 2.—Blue Howell, Xk | Nebraska fullback, the Big Six Confer- ence’s 1928 leading scorer, who gained all-America recognition, wound up his collegiate gridiron career in brilliant style here yesterday afternoon by lead- ing a picked six team of stars to a 14-6 victory over Southwest Conference stars in a charity game. Only three days after he contributed the lion's share of touchdowns in the East’s 20-to-0 victory over the West at San Francisco last Saturday afternoon, Howell ran_ wild against the best the Southwest had to offer and recorded both of his team’s touchdowns. He likewise scored two touchdowns at San Francisco. Although he was forced to travel part of the way by air to get here in time for the New Year day game, Howell ap- peared as fresh as ever and ripped the Southwest stalwart line to shreds in the first two periods, in each of which he jcrossed for a touchdown, Howell, who scored 54 points in nine games for the Cornhuskers during the regular 1928 season, was a unanimous Ichnlce for all-conference fullback. . BY CORINNE FRAZIER. | EORGANIZATION of the Wash- : ington Polo Club will be one of the major concerns of local horsewomen for the Spring season. Several of the star players of the club have left Washing- i ton during the past year, leaving the ranks so depleted that it was impossible to work out an active schedule last Fall, Mrs. Elliott Strauss, formerly Lydia Archbold, still holds the presidency, and will be on hand to assist in re- organization, as will Elizabeth Jackson, Maud Preece, Winifred West and Persis Myers. New recruits are needed to fill the vacancles now existing. An invitation will be extended to horsewomen at near- by Army posts to join the group, as well as to any local riders who would enjoy playing the game. Experience is not es- sential to membership, nor is it neces- sary for recruits to be equipped with mallets and helmets at the outset. Ac- cording to Miss Preece equipment will be loaned newcomers by the club. Practice will be held, as in the past, on the Potomac Park field, if a sufficient number of enthusiasts turn out to war- rant inaugurating a formal program. Workouts will be held twice a week. Games will be played probably with the quartet from Baltimore and teams from nearby Virginia or Maryland.

TARHEELS, IN WEST, BATTLE OHIO STATE By the Associated Press, CHICAGO, January 2.—Another inter- sectional tinge will be given the West- ern Conference pre-season basket ball program tonight, when North Carolina meets Ohio State at Columbus and lAurilc,gim clashes with Cornell at Ann . The only other Big Ten team in ac- tion tonight will be Chicago, which meets Beloit at Barlett gym. The Southerners always have ranked among the best from below the Mason- Dixon line, but the Ohlo State game will be their first introduction to basket ball as played in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes, weak at center position, have built their offensive around Fesler of foot ball fame. . Michigan, which appears to be com- ing ”lgz with leaps and bounds, is ex- pec to have little trouble with Cor- nell, and should give Coach Veenker an:‘t‘her good opportunity to experiment Chicago’s game with Beloit will be the first chance the Maroon fans have of seeing the Norgren-coached five in action since the opener with Monmouth early in December. Coach Norgren has been driving for more scoring punch— a total loss in games played to date. BREWER PRIZE WINNER ON SOUTHEAST DRIVES Reds Brewer and Clarence White were chief prize winners in the elimi- nation bowling tournament that ended yesterday on the Southeast alleys. The former survived the field, topping ‘White and Charles King in the fifth game on the final night. White had high total pinfall for the nine games, 997, getting a triple-header strike in his last game to overcome a 19-pin lead and emerge the victor by a 21- pin margin. Brewer, who holds high game record in the Capitol Hill League and was formerly a star with Carry’s team in the Commercial League, had a 601 set. i-lzlg scores were 99, 121, 129, 126 and GRID GAME POSTPONED.

It is hoped that & woman’s team might be organized at Fort Myer among the Army women, which could play a regu- lar series with the Washington Pole Club. Such a team has been organized in the far South—at Fort Benning, Ga., and from all reports has been most successful. One of the junior officers on the post has constituted himself the official coach for the outfit and has de- veloped a fast and skillful group of malleters. The service women about ‘Washington have a golden opportunity to learn the game with the large num- ber of crack Army players stationed in this vicinity. If two clubs—a service club and the Washington Polo Club— could be organized here, with the stim- ulation that rivalry always brings, polo would soon take a prominent place on the local sportswoman’s program. Any girls or women wishing to af- filiate with the Washington Polo Club are advised to get in touch with Miss Maud Preece at North 10497 or with Elizabeth Jackson at the Riding and Hunt Club.

TO PLAY YALE ON COURT TONIGHT NEW HAVEN, Conn., January 2.— Georgetown University’s basket ball team, undefeated thus far this season in collegiate competition, will come to grips with Yale here tonight in one of the opening matches of the annual EX tournament. New York University and Holy Cross will clash in the other game of & double- header. The winners will meet tomor- row night for the tourney title and the losers will face for runner-up laurels. In view of its impressive record so far Georgetown is the favorite of some to win the tourney. In Yale, however, it will be facing a team comprising many veterans. The Hoyas probably will use the same combination which it has been employing regularly compris- ing Capt. Freddy Mesmer and Johnny Dunn, forwards; Don Dutton, center, and Maurice McCarthy and Hal Mee- nan, guards. TO PICK GYM TODAY- FOR SCHOOL GAMES High school officials were expected today to decide where the opening matches of the public high school championship basket ball series, sched- uled PFriday, will be played in view of the fact the gym in the new Tech building, which 1t was planned to use, will not be ready. 1t is possible that the opening of the title schedule will be postponed to January 11 by which time the Tech gym is expected to be equipped for use. It now lacks baskets and seats. Should the series ogenlng be post- poned to January 11, the games carded Friday and next Tuesday would be played at the end of the schedule, and in ‘the matches January 11 Business would meet Eastern and Central would engage Tech. Central High basketers, who bowed to their alumni yesterday, 25 to 30, in their annual game in Central High gym after 8 stern battle, were to meet High Point, N. C. Freshmen, this afternoon at Central. At half time the under- graduates were trailing by only 13 to 14.

RANGERS, AMERICANS KEEP HOCKEY LEADS By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 2.—With more than one-third of the season gone ia the National Hockey League, it seems that the race should be spreading out a bit, but except for the two tail-end teams just the opposite is happening. Five games last night served only to break the tie for third place in the American group and bring the four teams that are battling for the top of the international group closer together. After a period of discouraging defeats that saw Pittsburgh climb up on equal terms with them the Boston Bruins broke into the winning column and ended the deadlock by beating Ottawa, 3 to 0, while the Pirates were losing to the Montreal Maroons. Harry Oliver, Boston’s star wing, was a big factor in the victory, scoring two of the goals. Ottawa, without a victory in eight games, remains at the bottom of the international division. Detroit clung to the heels of the New York Rangers, American group leaders, by handing the Chicago Blackhawks a second successive defeat, by a 2-to-1 score. The tail enders of the division could not break through the Detroit de- fense when the Cougars fell back into their own territory after two early scores, The Rangers retained their 3-point margin of Jeadership and helped add to the tangle in the other division by tak- ing & fast game from Toronto, 3 to 2. Manager Les Patrick started his substi- tutes against the Leafs, but the regulars did the scoring, two goals going to Bill Cook and one to Brother Bun. Four of the five counters were made in the final period. The defeat dropped Toronto out of a tie for second place in the inter- national group into a tie for third. ‘The Maroons undisputed :ouu- sion of second place when Nels Stewart, led them to a 4-to-2 triumph over Pitts- burgh. Stewart scored three of the goals in addition to taking an effective hand in the defense work. A high-speed game that ended in a 1-all tie between the New York Amer- icans and the Montreal Canadians brought further complications in the standing. The single point carried the flying Frenchmen into & deadlock with Toronto for third place, while it cost the Americans a valuable point in their margin over the Marcons. New York now leads the group by a single game, 32 points to 20. The third place teams e o fore B Bave 18 poia Georgians Refuse to Wilt and Are More Powerful Late in Clash. BY L. C. OWEN. ASADENA, Calif, January 2.— Corn pone and hot biscuits proved themselves a more on- during diet for athletes than did mush and milk in Georgia Tech's defeat of California here Tues- day. . Coach Bill Alexander’s Ramblin’ Wreck outlasted Coach Nibs Price's Golden Bears just at a time when their stamina was supposed to wilt owing to climatic changes, water and dietetic practices. Ever since the Georgia Yellow Jack- ets hit Southern California their morn- ing food has been the subject of gas- tronomie arguments. The Atlantans hreught their own very black cook along that Coach Alexander’s men might have their morning portion of hot biscuits and corn pone. According to this im- ported chef the corn dodger was “wob- bled” in bacon fryin’s to make it more succulent and strengthening. Health experts out here decried it as being more dyspeptic than energy-building. Meanwhile the Berkeley warriors breakfasted daily on mush and succulent cream. That became known when the chef in the big Pasadena hotel, where the Golden Bears were quartered, spilled a huge pot of it over his pedal extrem- ities. Forthwith the dietitians who criticized the Southerners” morning gxenu gave the mush diet their hearty K So much for the matter of dlet. The close score of 8 to 7 in favor of the Atlantans does not tell the true story. Neither does the fact that the Californ- ians scored another touchdown that looked as though it should have counted or that Roy Riegels, next season’s Bear captain, pulled one that will be tabu- lated in years to come as one of foot ball’s famous boners. Tech Really Good. The Ramblin’ Wreck outcharged, out- oassed and out-intersepted the Berkeley- ites from here to there. They could not make appreciable gains through California’s line, but they showed the far West how to co-ordinate ball-carry- ing, intereference and end running. The way that Dixie interference took would- be Bear tacklers out was a thing of joy and beauty to look at. Thomason,Durant and Mizell—particularly the latter— were the fastest starting backfield seen };‘l this season’s offering on coast grid- ons. The stamina part of it, however— whether diet had anything to do with it or not—was of outstanding importance. During the first half the two teams played pretty much nip and tuck foot ball, if anything the Gold Coasters had a slight edge. A At the beginning of the third quar- ter the Georglans were sul to commence wilting, not being used to the climate. California at that stage was supposed to step out and show how far superior Western foot ball was to any other sectional variety. The Georgians, however, refused to wilt. In fact they stepped on the throttle as soon as the second half began and kept bearing down on it until the last three or four minutes of the fourth quarter. California in those three or four minutes connected with a couple of long passes that earned them their only touchdown. Not First Wrong Run. Capt.-elect Riegels’ faux pas, in which he ran the wrong way with the ball, was one of those' instances of over-taut nerves. Opposed to Pund, Georgia Tech’s alllAmerica center, the Bear pivot man played an otherwise top- notch game. It isn't the first time a player on a Golden State team has car- ried the ball toward his own goal line. A couple of years ago one of Pop ‘Warner's star Stanford backs commit- ted the same kind of an error. However, the Atlanta Yellow Jackets beat the Golden Bears and in the language of base ball, all their tallies ‘were earned runs. ROCKNE WILL RETAIN .

Maybe it cannot be done, but the U. S. L. T.

Unless, of course, the allow for what Tilden might have done had he not been null and void at the time. The ways of the boys making out statistics are too difficult for me. If Tilden is ranked No. 1, I would make no squawk whatever. | absent from the national tournament, an exile for literary reasons, Mr. Tilden was absent from a part of the Davis Cup campaign for the same reason, though But in addition to being of the Davis Cup Expeditionary Forces It was only through the intercession of Ambassador Herrick that Tilden was permitted to play in the finals of the Davis Cup matches in France. Representations were made that if Tilden were barred from that one the gate ‘mccipts for the finals would drop and the franc would bounce off a few points. But immediately after the Davis Cup matches Tilden was made null and vold what have you, of amateur tennis. But now the intimation is made that the Prodigal Son can come back if he is sufficlently contrite and if he will promise to exercise more control over They say that so far as illegal literature—illegal from the point of view of the United States Lawn Tennis Association—is to type no more. Whiclt suggests a e years ago: “He ain’t a-gwine to write no more, no more; He ain't a-gwine to write no more, But how in heck can the U. S. L. T. A. tell He ain’t a-gwine to write no more?” Personally, I am pleased that Mr. Tilden is about to be taken in and shriven for his offenses (if any) against amateurism in tennis. The bouts the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion always have been a source of innocent merriment during the dull season. Mr. Tilden has been a great tennis is player and a delight to watch on the tennis, and, on the other hand, tennis . It was not until Mr. Tilden became the singles champion that he was listed as an author, an actor, a producer and a number of other things that carry with them a livelihood of some sort. ‘There are some who insinuate that the United States Lawn Tennis Association did not start to become quite firm with Mr. Tilden until it was apparent that his best tennis was behind him. I think that this is unfair, cuh;z_ association are earnest, perhaps air. Again, “What Is an Amateur?” Association had undertaken to define amateurism to its nth power or something of the sort, and that is no soft job. Every now and then a leading editorial here and there starts with the finishes nowhere. It can be seen from this that the United States Lawn Tennis Association has picked no set-up, as the boys would say, for its particular problem. They are very serious gentlemen and have been annoyed no little by the antics of the naughty Mr. Tilden, who seems to have been trying to see just the moral spanking which was admin- istered to him during the Davis Cup campaign. The United States Lawn Tennis Association ruled some time back that an 1y or indirectly through his participation a special ruling that no amateur tennis player participating in an international tournament should write reports con- Pprogress. He protested before he put his signature it. It would seem then that Mr. Tilden the capacity of commanding general of the United States Amateur Tennis Expeditionary Forces, with his expenses paid through the United States Lawn Tennis Association, he broke the rule. could not cast him forth as a professional, but they, in effect, branded him as being temporarily unui:ateur or something of the sort and barred him for the They ull amateur standing may cause compli- cations. The matter of accepting payment for writing reports of a tournament in which he was participating might be interpreted by the United States Lawn Tennis Association as profiting indirectly through the playing of tennis. 3 or the association would not be terpreted Mr. Tilden or any of the other athletic literary persons in lawn tennis. Now there are a few former amateur tennis players who have profited directly through their tennis prestige and admit it, among them being Mr. Vin- cent Richards and Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen. What if they applied for a restora- full amateur standing? They might be able to argue that a direct offender of the amateur law is as much entifled to forgiveness as an indirect offender. The amateur law does seem a bit severe there or not severe enough. If direct professional is excommunicated forever and forever, why should the im- penitent indirect professional find forgiveness? 1t Is No Soft Job. ‘The task of the Ul-medt hsto}:u It‘l:‘:('r 'renmx;ls Amhthl:g : lg mml: b‘e‘l:. flfl; 1t becat r Wil 3 len even W] e ving <5 e o to the ruling of the association. shouldn't he make something out of 1t2” I fear that as a whole we are a commercial people who never will appreciate the (Copyright, 1929.)

Y., racketer, Prank Shore, Washing- ton's promising young netman, lost his big chance to win the national junior indoor tennis title here yesterday. Murphy was a complete for the District contender, taking three successive sets, 6—1, 6—1 and 6—2. Murphy added a second triumph when he and S. P. Hayes of South Hadley.
