The leather-pushers of both the Vir- | ginia and the Duke teams will be having their first match of the Winter, but each of the basket ball teams have sev- eral engagements behind them. It will be the third court contest for the Cavaliers. The Blue Devils present a veteran ring team, with five letter men from 1928 in the line-up. Last year the Duke boxers lost to only one team, the North Carolina scrappers, who won the South- ern Conference title at the annual tournament here, Charlie Kinchloe, light-heavyweight, is the only veteran regular that can be put in the ring by Johnny LaRowe, boxing coach of the Cavaliers. In the other weights will be men from the '27 freshman squad or reserves from last season'’s varsity. Although this is the first match of the Winter, the fact that it is to be joined with a basket ball game is ex- pected to attract several thousand spec- tators. Extra seats have been placed in the gymnasium by D. E. Brown, graduate manager. Virginia’s basket ball team is slowly sha‘:'xlng.lnw form under the coaching of “Pop” Lannigan.

FORDHAM TEAMS NOT TO FACE GEORGETOWN Georgetown and Fordham, rivals of long standing athletically, are not to meet in any sports contests this year. Unable to arrange a foot ball date for next Fall mutually agreeable, Ford- ham, according to Lou Little, athletic director at Georgetown, has canceled its basket, ball and base ball engagements with the Hilltop university. No confirmation of the break was to be had from Georgetown University this morning as Rev. John Murphy, faculty athletic advisor at the univer- sity, was not at his office and Little is ‘at his home in Leominster, Mass. SOUTHERN Stecher, former champ, was train- ing on his farm in Nebraska for a come-back, the idea being to save Lewis from the weary necessity of touring around the country and meeting the same old group of grap- plers week after week. Now comes a Pittsburgh para- grapher with the following, which nesds no comment: “Can you imagine Strangler Lewis, one of the roughest and toughest men in the history of wrestling or any other racket, crawling out of the ring in fright because he alleged Gus Sonnenberg was butting and hurting him, so that the referee finally dis- qualified the Strangler and'handed the world mat championship to Sonnenberg? “Probably there was a reason. The big grapplers appear to have found Boston a new spot where wrestling can be committed at a profit. The match drew an attendance of 20,- 000. Evidently the title had to change hands to steam up the game a bit, and as Boston is wild about Sonnenberg, a former Dartmouth College foot ball player, what could promise to work out better than to have Gus win, and at the same time leave enough room for dispute to pave the way for a return match? “If wrestling were not a sport at which the finger of suspicion never has been pointed, some narrow- ed on, there now is con- siderable ‘speculation whether that Stribling- Sharkey clash scheduled for Miami Beach on February 27 will materialize. Rickard it was who conceived the match, made all the preliminary ar- rangements and was to have direct- ;d the publicity to “put it over g Dempsey is understood to have agreed to carry on for his departed friend with the promotional end, asserting, following the impressive obsequies at Madison Square Garden, that he would hurry back to Flor- ida for that purpose after a short visit to his home on the coast. But it is doubtful if Dempsey, no matter how earnest his efforts, could make a financial success of the clash between the Boisterous Bostenian and the Pride of Dixie. * ok koK As a matter of fact, it is likely that Rickard, himself, had he been spared, would have needed all his promo- torial genius plus plenty of the breaks to stage the affair without going in the red. Tex is said to have figured on a gate of $500,000. With such a take- in he could have cleaned up sub- stantially en the fight, despite the $100,000 Sharkey is holding out for and the $40,000, plus 20 per cent By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 11.—The Ama- teur Athletic Union of the Unite: States seeks to guide, not to_ contrc amateur sports in this county, Presid Avery Brundage of Chicago explai in a lengthy statement today. President Brundage's statement was issued as the result of a controversy with Northwestern University, which severed relationships with the A. A. U. when that organization disqualified sev- eral Northwestern swimmers from com- peting in a meet with the Chicago Ath- letic Association Wednesday night. ‘The controversy threatens to cause & break between the A. A. U. and the Big Ten, one of the strongest athletic con- ferences in the United States. “For 40 years, the Amateur Athletic ‘Union, as the governing body of amateur ! sport in the United States, has watched | amateur sport grow and exflnd under its guidance,” Brundage sald, in part. “The word ‘guidance’ is used advisedly instead of ‘rule’ or ‘control,’ since the A. A. U. feels amateur sports should not be ruled or controlled by any one, and its aim is to educate and guide along the right road under sane regulations. American University will entertain Elizabethtown, Pa., College tossers to- night at 8 o'clock in the American Uni- versity gym in the only basket ball game of the night in which a team of the District college group will appear. ‘Two more games tomorrow will end the week so far as Capital college quints are concerned. Catholic University will meet Navy in their annual game at An- napolis in the afternoon and Gallaudet ‘will face Old Dominion Boat Club in a night game at Alexandria. A Against Elizabethtown Coach Spring;- ton's American Uaiversity tossers will pe striving to get back in a winning stride after losng to Gettysburg Col- lege Wednesday night in their first set- back of the season. Elizabethtown was beaten Wednes- day by Washington College in a 39-15 amatch, but the latter has as usual an ‘exceptionally strong team. s It is expected that A. U. will start tonight's game with the same line-up avhich has begun its other games this season. This combination comprises Capt. Jack L.a Favre and Forrest Bur- it gess, forwards; Dave Lichlicter, center, end Dutch Shloss and Bruce Kessler at ‘guards. There will be a preliminary game be- %ween American University Juniors and ‘Sophomores starting at 7 o'clock. Delmar Cosgrove and Capt. Louis Dyer, sharpshooting forwards, may not play when the Kendall Greeners stack ap against Old Dominion Boat Club. {Cosgrove suffered a slight ankle injury #n the game with Catholic University Wednesday night, while Dyer still is nursing knee hurts suffered the past| doot ball campaign. Nevertheless Dyer has played in the last two games. Gallaudet is after another match with American University, which triumphed pver the Kendall Greeners early in the peason. Coach, Maud Crum is hustling his George Washington University basket- ers along in preparation for their first game of the season next Wednesday night against American University Bossers. Nightly scrimmages are the order for $he Colonial's who are rapidly round- ing to form. Mount Vernon M. E. Church basketers will be engaged in B practice session in the G. W. gym tomorrow night.

DALLAS, Tex., January 11.—Unless other Southwest Conference basket ball squads exhibit stancher defenses and improve their shooting surprisingly, the University of Arkansas will remain king of the hardwood court. During the last three seasons the crimson-clad giants from the Ozarks have held undisputed supremacy in this sport, winning 31 of 34 conference con- tests. They did it by combining accu- racy in hitting the hoop from all ranges with the smooth teamwork that shat- tered every defense. Glen Rose, Arkansas guard and the greatest defensive player in the con- ference last season, has finished school, but Coach Francis A. Schmidt has three veterans around whom he is molding another array of expert ters. Chief of this trio is Tom Pickell, center and high point scorer of the conference 3 8. The burden of defense falls on the Presence of Tom Pickell, leading scorer, and other 1928 stars make Arkansas a favorite to win its fourth consecutive title.

The third ace is Wear Schoon- over, star end in foot ball and a deadly marksman on the court. Enough men for four quintets give Coach Schmidt an ample reserve for the 12 scheduled battles. Ranks of other schools have. been thinned by graduation. The material at Texas University is considered per- haps the most promising, for Holly Brock, crack forward, is one of the best | men scorers in the Southwest, and the other Longhorns are almost his equal in tar- get work. Coach Jimmy St. Clair of Seuthern Methodist has uncovered a “find” in Bill Skeeters, a foot ball man. Capt. Albo also is performing creditably. Brown failed to make a high school team, but developed into a star guard after he entered college.

Rumor had Nurmi competing in the Brooklyn games immediately after his resignation application was accepted by the A. A. U. early this week, but official confirmation was made when the famous Pinn sent in his entry for the 5,000 yards invitation race. When Nurmi was on his record- breaking tour in 1925 t f - m‘"g 925 two of the stand: ‘were broken in- the Brooklyn College games when he estab- However, Little in a telephonic com- munication last night announced that athletic relations for the year between the institutions had been severed. It was a month ago that the way for the break was paved. It was then that Georgetown replaced Fordham with Detroit University on its foot ball sched- ule for 1929 to break a foot ball rela- tionship which had extended annually since 1923 and which really had its inception 15 years ago. Director of Athletics Lou Little said that Georgetown had offered Fordham the choice of two earlier dates on its 1929 foot ball schedule, but had reserved the usual Fordham date for Detroit. Little said that he did not look upon | the failure to book Fordham in foot | ball as a break in athletic relations. He | deploted the breach, but said that he | felt Georgetown was not at fault in the matter and that Fordham was at lib- erty to arraange its schedules without considering Georgetown. Fordham'’s consistent failure to offer Georgetown worthy opposition in foot ball and the fact that in Detroit, | Georgetown would meet an eleven which completed an unbeaten and untied cam- paign in 1928 were factors which led Georgetown to give Detroit the usual Fordham gridiron date. Fordham Denies Break. NEW YORK, January 11 (#).—A basket ball game scheduled for next Wednesday night between Fordham and Georgetown has been canceled by mu- tual agreement, it was announced today by J. F. Coffey, graduate manager of athletics at Fordham. The local uni- versity now is negotiating with St. goisph‘s of Philadelphia to fill the open ate. Coffey said the cancellation was due to several reasons. Georgetown, he de- clared, did not wish to make the trip north and Fordham, with one of the strongest court fives in the East, want- ed to meet the strongest possible op- ponents. Georgetown’s' team is not particularly strong, he said, chiefly be- cause the Washington collegians have no_adequate facilities for practice. * that goes to Stribling. How he proposed to attract such a huge sum in receipts is something else again, however.

Furthermore, the backers of the battle are chasers of $25 seats will have to be counted in the hundieds instead of thousands. mecca for wealthy tourists in the Winter ‘and the_fight might, as ez- pected, draw visitors from Stribling’s native Georgia and other States of the South, which is proud of him, but train fare and items of room and board will make heavy inroads on their purses and they’ll be looking for bargai; prices. As for good reason for doubting whether it would prove attractive. It would not be a title affair, or even a near championship, and that would prove a heavy handicap. Then, nominated are the outstanding con- tenders, aside from Dempsey, judged by the way the other heavies are side-stepping them, both have ring characteristics calculated to mar the entertainment of spectators. Stribling, of good physique, always well trained and possessing a punch plus pleni spoils his echibitions with wrestling tactics, and Sharkey, while not so. given to stalling and roughing, is minded persons might be tempted to believe that there was something slightly wrong with that Boston af- fair.” It stands firmly, however, for an ob- servance of the rules and insists that those who wish to play the game shall observe the code.” President Brundage said the A. A. U. was organized 40 years ago to lift ama- teur sports from “its then chaotic” state to sane regulations and that the organ- ization has been successful. “The A. A. U. has brought order out of chaos and it does not propose to con- sent to a reversion of the state of af- fairs that existed before it was found- ed.” he said. Brundage explained that the dis- qualified Northwestern swimmers knew they would be disqualified before they competed in the “outlaw” meet last Summer. “Northwestern decided that if part of its team could not compete, none of them could and called off the meet,” Brundage said. “We regret Northwest- ern took such a stand, but we feel the position of the A. A. U. is both sound and logical and that any deviation from the principal that there must be one national organization, controlling open competition would lead to utter con- fusion.” Further action frcm the Big Ten, of which Northwestern is a member, to- day was expected to come from Mai. John L. Griffith, athletic commissioner of the Conference. Griffith has been opposed to the A. A. U. rules for some time and has stated he welcomes a showdown on amateur authority.

CHICAGO, January 11.—Northwest- ern will attempt to stop the scoring rampage of “Stretch” Murphy, Purdue basket ball star, with a reorganized team of 6-foot sharpshooters at Lafayette tomorrow night. . Ever since Murphy rammed Chicago's defense for a scoring of 25 points Tues- day night, Coach “Duteh” Lonborg of Northwestern has been building a de- fense to stop him. He intends to shuffie his line-up, placing 6-footers on thg, 1l loor. Murphy's feat against Chicago was probably an all-time record for the Big Ten basket ball scoring. His mates fed him the ball continually and Chicago's midget team couldn't stop him from dropping the sphere into the net. Other members of the Big Ten also were throwing up new defenses today in preparation for the five-game card Saturday night, which brings into action Michigan at Jowa, Wisconsin at Chicago, Indiana at Minnesota and Illinois at Ohio State, in addition to.the North- western-Purdue clash. The Michigan-Iowa battle promises to be the outstanding game of the card, as both have rangy players and are un- defeated in conference play.

WOMEN IN SPORT tious than any in the past was outlined last night by the ‘Washington Field Hockey Club at its monthly business session held at the home of the president, Mrs. Virginia H. Russell. Three teams will be organized if possible in the city next Field Hockey Association. Three clubs are the minimum allowed under the National Association rulings for the forming of a city or sectional group. Formerly, the Washingtonians have been affiliated with the Baltimore Asso- ciation. According to the plan outlined, an ef- fort will be made to organize, in addi- tion to the club’s team of graduate hockey players, two other squads, one recruited from university students of the city and the other from seminary and high school teams. All three would play under the newly created Washing- ton Association if the plan materializes. This would greatly increase the oppor- tunities for competition and for repre- sentation on the sectional teams which compete annually with teams of the other Eastern sections in a champion- ship series. Chairmen will be appointed by the president next Fall to handle the or- ganization of each of the proposed groups. Another matter was discussed by the club last night—that of raising funds to defray the expenses of entertaining the all-English squad this Fall. It was decided to hold a rummage sale later in the Spring and Virginia Griffith was selected as chairman of the committee for the affair. Miss Griffith will ap- point her own co-workers. Gallaudet’s athletic program will have to be revised completely so far as the co-eds are concerned when the epi- demic of colds and influenza which has hit_the city spends its force.
