LEADERS 10 MEET TO DISGUSS ISSUES College Body Will Present Statement of Policy at April 15 Session. BY H. C. BYRD. Differences that recently seem %o have cropped out between the National Collegiate athletic Association and the Amateur Athletic Union may shortly be settled one week from today, April 15, in New York City, committees repre- senting these bodies go intp conference in an attempt to iron out every wrinkle in their reiationship. For some time matters between the governing boards of these organizations have not been | going as well as they might, and it is hoped that the conference will result in a satisfactory outlining of the con- trol each will exercise amateur ath- letics and the part edch will play in maintaining high standards in all fields of sport. ‘The most recent cause of the more or less estranged feeling is the result of a pronouncement by the Amateur Athletic Union of a campaign p]anned‘ by it to take into its memberskip all | the colleges in the country and thus| bring under A. A. U. control the eli- gibility of college as well as club ath- Jetes. This pronouncement was accept- ed by the governing heads of the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association | with an unlimbering of heavy artillery in preparation for battle. While there probably has been and is very little possibility that the Amateur Athletic | Union could carry out even a small part | of its announced intention, those re-| sponsible for carrying on the business of the National Collegiate Athletic As- soclation determined that the situation should be brought to a head and that the right of the colleges to run their own athletics and determine the eli-| gibility of their own athletes should be enunciated and maintained. No Compromise to Be Made. The meeting in New York next week in no sense to be a gathering in which compromises will be discussed or effected. The colleges have nothing to_compromise, and their attitude un- doiibtedly and rightly, will be to present in official form what has actually been their policy for years. And after pre- senting their stafement of policy, it will | be the task of the colleges to convince | the A. A. U. representatives that the interests of all amateur athletics’ will be best conserved by the A. A. U. falling in line with that policy. Whether or not representatives of the | colleges are successful in carrying their | point with A. A. U. men, not the ledst | doubt exists _that they will stick to their guns. In any conflict with thg A. A. U. the colleges have nothing to lose. except that which might be lost by the possibility of their unregistered athletes not being allowed to compete in the Olympics, which competition now is controlled by the A. A. U. How- ever, if this came to a showdown, it is | certain that the A A. U. eventually would find itself in an untenable positicn. Statement Is Prepared. It is definitely known that a formal statement of policy for presentation to | the A. A. U. representatives in New ‘York has been prepared by the National Collegiate Athletic Association commit- tee, but this statement has not been made public and probably will not be until it is presented at the meeting. However, one of the men most promi- nent nationally in college athletics who took part in preparing the statement of policy, has this to say in connec- tion with the situation, and what he says embodies in principle and spirit the official statement of policy if not the actual text: M “We are glad of the opportunity to! take up with the A. A. U. in an entirely | friendly spirit consideration of certain matters which we consider fundamental to good understanding between the two bodies. We believe that at the present time there is in certain respects con- | fusion of jurisdiction as between the two bodies, and we fear that this mis- understanding and frictlon may con- tinue unless this confusion can be| cleared away. “The strength and administrative efficiency of the colleges in athletic matters have undergone a marked de- velopment since the A. A. U. was founded. ‘The outstanding fact of the athletic history of America in the, past 40 years is the development of 'a Na- tion-wide system of amateur sport. car- ried on by intercollegiate competition. We believe it to be a fact that today the great majority of amateur athletes who represent America -in track and field events in the Olympic games are men whose proficiency is developed in the colleges. “We believe that no man can serve two masters, and that while an athlete is an undergraduate in a college of reputable standing he should be re- sponsible to the administrative officers of that college, and to them only, in athletic matters as well as in other phases of his college life. See Need of Co-Operation, “We believe that the administration of the athletic life of America will be most effectively carried on by a co- operation between the colleges, organ- ized for this purpose on the one hand, and the A. A. U. on the other hand, each having jurisdiction in its particu- lar field. We believe there should be no overlap or conflict of authority. At the present time there is such an overlap of jurisdiction, and we believe that much of the misunderstanding between the colleges and the A. A. U. is directly due to this overlap. The A. A. U. has held that after an undergraduate athlete has registered with the A, A. U. (that is, has submitted proofs of his amateur status and received a registration card to that effect he is a ‘member’ of the A. A, U. If we understand the situa- tion correctly, the A. A, U. then goes on to claim the right to ‘suspend’ an ath- lete for cause, from such member- ship; to ‘suspend’ a team on which he is permitted to play: to ‘suspend’ a team which plays against a team on which he is permitted to play, etc., etc. “We believe that so far as college athletes are concerned the claim by the A. A. U. of its right of suspension is an archaic device which po longer fits the actual situation. We believe if any col- lege of the first rank were convinced of the bona fide amateur status of one of its athletes and the A, A, U. should on any grounds attempt to suspend that athlete, that the athletic authorities -of that college would neither recognize nor take account of such suspension, so far as intercollegiate competition is concerned. This is a very blunt state- ment, but we belleve it to be a fact. If the A. A. U. should then attempt to suspend the entire college team we be- lieve that it make no difference whatever with college competitors. In other words, be believe that the Jjurisdiction of the A. A. U. over college Aok Ih Taot wti IV oai tition can e to eampeutlnmns e recognize that the A. A. U. has to. the certification of g § 4 i §F 2 3 situation, and still preserve all its natural and proper rights, by requiring college athletes to be certified by the proper athletic authority of the college before each athletic contest conducted under the auspices of the A. A. U, thereby doing away with any theory that such athletes while in cuilege are “members” of the A. A. U. The stand- ards of eligibility of the A. A. U, and its control of A. A. U. competition would be completely safeguarded by the final right of the A. A. U. to withdraw the certifying privilege from any college for adequate cause. “The present situation inevitably sets up a confiict betwen the- continuous jurisdiction of a colleg® over its athletes and an implied continuous jurisdiction over those same athletes by the A. A. U. We believe that the change in policy proposed above would in no way work to the detriment of the A. A, U. It would merely make entirely clear what the officials of the A A, U. have recent- ly asserted, that it is not their purpose or desire to attempt to establish control over college athletics and college athletes.” Registration an Issue. College men are hoping that the Amateur Athletic Union may agree to allow college men to compete in its meets without registration in the A. A, U. In other words, it seems to the col- leges that the A. A. U. might well ac- cept their certification of the amateur status of college athletes, whereas at present, when a ‘college athlete desires to compete in an A. A. U. event, he must register in the A. A. U. and pay a small fee for that registration. This has been accepted by the colleges as a prerogative of the A. A. U., although the A. A. U. has to some extent modi- fied it. Certainly the best gesture the A. A. U. could make toward the colleges would be to go the limit in this particular. If this can be taken care of and some ar- rangements more satisfactory to the colleges for governing management and participation of American athletes in the Olympics can be effected, it is like- 1y’ that the National Collegiate Athletic Association and Amateur Athletic Union can co-operate pleasantly and efficiently in the operation of the great- est system of amateur athletic compe- tition in the whole world. PLANT BUREAU WINS DUCKPIN LOOP RACE Plant Bureau has just won the Agri- culture Interburegu Bowling League title, ending a race that was so ciose that the teams started the final night’s shooting with only two games separat- ing the first and sixth place quints. Plant Bureau triumphed by sweeping its set with: Central Stores, Lindstrom featuring with a set of 374 and game of 140. This set gave Lindstrom an aver- age of a little better than 111 for 75 games, a new Interbureau League record. Economics, which has staged a whirl- | wind 'finish to come from seventh to second place within the past two ‘weeks, grabbed second place on total pin-fall by taking two games from the So-Kems in a match featured by a battle be- tween Dixon of Economics and Ready of the So-Kems; Dixon getting the ver- dict by a margin of 374 to 370. | Accounts took advantage of Charlie | Lyons’ absence and swept all three| games from the Shops quint, giving them third place as the Interbureaus | could take but two of the thrree games with Blister Rust. Jack Ferrall's 394 set stood up against the final night's bowling as the best of the year; while Adams gets first | prize with high game of 156. Oddly enough. high team set honors - were | taken by the rank tailenders, Shops having dropped 1,683 for the hith‘ count of the year. So-Kems’ 631 game was in a class by itself—a prize-winner in any man’s league. FINAL LEAGUE FIGURES. Team Standine. _* .

NAUGURATION of the 1929 fish- ing season took place last week when the white perch, the first of our annual Spring visitors, started their Tun to the swift waters of the Potomac around ' Chain Bridge. Last Thursday several nice catches were made by anglers, and while the majority of the fish were small, some good size ones were caught. The larger ones were landed in the shallow water on the Virginia side of the river opposite the stone quarry. Anglers who use the Potomac River for their outings remember with chagrin that this stream was clear only about three times last Summer. Muddy water in the Potomac is more or less expected, especially during the month of April. “This condition is only “history repeat- ing itseif,” but it is hoped that this year the perch anglers will have a better opportunity to catch these fish than they did last year. More interest has been manifested this year over trout fishing in Mary- land and Virginia than for some years ast. We rTeceived many inquiries st week about trout streams in both the above-mentioned States. In Vir- ginia it was learned that the majority of the big trout streams had been closed this year to allow them to be restocked and that the nearest one, ac- cording to_officials of the Bureau of Game and Inland Fisherles, is 200 miles from Washington, located near Staun- ton, Va., and another stream negr Hot Springs, Va. Sam_ Smith, radio service man for %ldenbenx has_informed us that he visited his mountain stream of Virginia last Sun- day and that the trout are plentiful. Furthermore, Smith offers to lead all those interested to the spot, where he promises & good day’s catch. According to Swepson Earl, Mary- land’s conservation commissioner, Mary- land trout streams are attracting many anglers. The best trout streams are to be found in Frederick County, which is only a short run in a machine from Washington. These streams are: Hunt- ing Creek, Fishing Creek, Tuscarora Creek end Catoctin Creck. in Garret County, the farthest from ‘Washington, they are Hoyes Run, Bear Creek, Crab Tree Creek and Run. ld fishing grounds in ‘a | gj CHANGESPROPUSED BYBEADOF AL Need of Close Harmony With Collegiate A. A. Is Seen by Brundage. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, April 8.—A movement which may change the com- plexion of the Amateur Ath- letic Union of the United States and its policies toward amateur and professional sports has been started by Avery Brundage of Chi- cago, president. - Brundage has addressed a /lengthy questionnaire, including every possible phase of amateur and professional sports, to the 157 governors of the A. A. U, and when their answers are in he expects to see a change in the constitution, which hasn’t been altered materially since it was adopted in 1888. At least five results are expected from the questionnaire, Brundage said. They are: Consummation of close harmony between the Amateur Athletic Union and the National Collegiate Associa- tion. ¢ Formation of a high judiciary commission of five or more men to be supreme in all matters of amateur eligibility, the commission to func- tion for amateur athletics as Com- missioner K. M. Landis does in base ball. Creation of a better understand- ing and keener appreciation of the Amateur Athletic Union by the public. Recognition of the Amateur Athletic Union by kindred organi- zations as the governing body in all amateur athletics, excepting that which is strictly collegiate. Revamping of the Amateur Ath- letic Union constitution and rules to fit present-day needs and to ac- complish fulfiliment of the foregoing objectives. “There has been considerable com- plaint about the Amateur Athletic Union and its policies lately,” Brundage explained., “We want to show every one we are open to constructive criti- cism and are willing to correct any defects, if there are any.” “Brundage further explained the Amateur Athletic Union was formed when most amateur sports were com- peted in by non-college men. ‘Today, college sports have grown to be the leaders in the amateur field, he said. MICHIGAN FAVORITE ~ IN DIAMOND SERIES By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, April 8—With Michigan a heavy favorite to retain the cham- pionship, the Big Ten base ball cam- paign breaks forth with a four-game card this week. Indiana and Ohio State officially opened the hostilities Thursday, tne Hoosiers upsetting the Buckeyes, 4 to 2, at Columbus. Ohio State and Minnesota's “untried team play two of the four games this week. They were to meet today and tomorrow at Columbus. The other bat- tles will,be” Saturday with Tllinois at Jowa and Northwestern at Purdue. Returning with its 1928 championship team intact, except for Bennie Ooster- baan,- Michigan seems to be the stand- out of the race. The Wolverines are on their training trip now and will not open their championship campaign until they meet Northwestern next week. DEVITT WILL SELECT OFFICIALS FOR MEET Coach Walter Palmer of the De\'mi School track team, who is director ol'K the second annual track meet to be held April 20 at Georgetown University field, will appoint officials for the meet & this week. Seven schools so far are entered in the prep school division and Pair of Attractive Schoolboy Games Are Carded Tomorrow ‘WO highly -attractive scholastic base ball games are carded here tomorrow. Gonzaga and Western, old ri- vals, will clash on the Ellipse and Devitt and Eastern, also lively foes, will try conclusions in the Eastern Stadium. : Western opened its season Saturday, scoring over United Typewriter Uniteds, 8 to 5, but tomorrow’s confest will be the first of the campaign for Gonzaga. The scholastics from Georgetown doubt- less have a better team than last se: son, but likely will find Gonzaga a tough foe, as the Purple generally has a stalwart ball club. Eastern, defending public high school champion, is expected to give an im- proved exhibition over its opening per- formance Saturday, when it fell before iscopal, 10 to 13, at Alexandria. The ncoln Parkers, except for an uncer- tain pitehing staff, are formidable. Just how strong the Deyitt nine is remains 10 be seen, as the team so far ha® not shown its wares. As thé result of their showings against Episcopal there are- probably more persons now who favor Tech to beat out Eastern for the public higl title. Tech defeated Episcopal, 13 to 6, performing to much better advantage against the Alexandria scholastics than did Eastern in bowing to them. How- ever, there are others who do not at- tach a great deal of importance to early games, claiming that the real strength of a nine cannot be accurately meas- ured until it has played 'a couple of games or o, Western, and Tech nines each were listed for their second game of the season today. ‘Western was to again meet United ‘Typewriter Uniteds on the Ellipse, Bus- iness was to engage University of Mary- land Freshmen at' College Park and Tech was to face Washington-Lee High at Ballston, Va. Several Unvsual Golf Shots Made in Week End Play Here BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. OLF is full of queer contradic- tions—of freak shots and more freakish endings. -As witness, we recall several freakish shots that occurred over the week end which resulted in considerable dismay to the opponents of their authors and no small amount of jubllation to the men who produced them. Rudolph (Lefty) Harrell put his tee shot in the ditch at the third hole at the Washington Golf and Country Club, which is a very difficult par 4. He lifted out of the ditch with a pen- alty stroke, and played 3 from 240 yards away from the green. But he laid his ball on the putting surface, and holed his putt for a par 4 just the same, winning the hole from men who played it in the orthodox manner. Robert (Bob) Eller who used to per- form in championship fashion over the hurdles for the Georgetown track team some years back, played a pair of shots at Indian Spring that would bring joy to the heart of any duffer. He got his 200 pounds of weight back of a pair of wooden club shots on the 525-yard sixteenth hole, & pair of far-ranging clouts, which left him but a two-foot putt for an eagle 3. The ground was soft and Eller’s second shot didn’t move from where it struck. ‘Then there was the tricky shot Rob- | ert A. Dougan played yesterday at the Washington Golf and Country Club at the eleventh hole, where he missed his tee shot and had a hard pitch left over the water hazard. His ball struck the flag staff high up near the bunting and instead of bouncing merrily off into a bunker or into the water ditch, it dropved straight down, hit the edge of the cup and lay only inches away. “A gimme” as they call it out in the nearby Virginia county. Just a little bit later Don Wrenn, schoolboy golfer, put together a pair of wooden club shots at the par 4 fifteenth at Washington (which is really a par 5 these days of slow fairways) and ran down a four-footer for & 3— a feat which is done about a dozen imes a season. And then there was little Dave ‘Thomson, the Washington professional, playing with machine-like regularity, a 72, while out at Columbia Roland R. Mackenzie could do no better than 70 on his last trip over the course he is {ea\'mu to go to New York to make his home. A field of more than a score of the leading professional golfers of the mid- Atlantic sector gathered at the Town and Country Club today to contest for money prizes in a sweepstakes affair opening the season of the Middle At- Iantic Professional Golfers’ Association. Arthur B. Thorne, president of the association and professional at the club, has arrenged a dinner for the profes- slonals, following the tourney, which is an 18-hole affair. At the dinner a schedule of events for the year will be drawn up. Several inquirics have been received by The Star as to whether Horton Smith is to play in Washington shortly. He will not, as Smith sails Wednesday for England with the Ryder Cup team, On his return from England he may | come to Washington, although there lg:‘ been no assurance he will show | here. s | Morris Simon outstripped a large | field "of golfers in the opening event of the season at the Town and Coun- try Club yesterday—an 18-hole handi- cap tourney. Simon registered 88—25- 63, to lead Leopold Freudberg by one shot. Freudberg had 91—27-64, and William G. Tlich, chairman of the club | golf committee, was third with 87— 20.67. Dr. M. B. Fischer, Willard Gold- heim and T. L. Goldheim all turned in net cards of 69. Samuel Reveniss won the prize in |class B with a card of 101—40-61. | Harry King with 94—32-62, was sec | ond. while Phillip”Reiskin 'with 96— 32-64, was third. SPORTS.™ " National Collegiaté A.

This buoy toward the Virginia shore the Hains Point. Just a little aside of the buoy towards the Virginia shore the angler will find a nice sandy bottom and water only about four or five feet deep and he can fish all day and night without losing a hook, something that cannot be done on the rock-covered bottom of the Potomac upstream. This place is also one of the best to catch the larger and gamey striped bass or rockfish when they made their ap- pearance around May 15. There is only one drawback, and that is its inac- cessibility. Only those who have motor boats can reach it easily. There is a boathouse at the foot of Seventh street where rowboats may be hired. Ollie. Atlas has informed us that he had received a letter from his boatman at Wachapreague, Va,, telling him that big croakers and some trout are being caught in the nets at that place. This boatman says that he expects the run of big trout to start the last week in this month. He is keeping Ollie in- formed as to fishing conditions each week. In the meantime Ollie is mak- ing all arrangements for another of his de luxe trips to this wonderful fish- ing grounds, either on May 5 or 12, the date to be governed, by weather conditions. .

WOMEN IN SPORT LL women golfers who are mem- bers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Club are urged to attend the first golf luncheon at the clubhouse on Thursday of this week, as election of officers for the women's activities in the club will be held at that time. The usual handi- cap tournament will be played in the morning preceding luncheon. ‘This affair will not be an open house tourney as were the ones held on Thursdays last Fall, according to Mrs. | ‘Thorne Strayer, golf chairman, but will | be open to the woman members and | their guests only. Those who expect to attend are re- quested to make their reservations for | luncheon ia advance through Mrs. | Campbell at the club. The Army, Navy and Marine inter- team golf tournament which is to be held later on the country. club course, will be open to all service women Who desire to affiliate with either of the | teams, however. It will not come under the club activities, but will be | an additional feature staged at the club through the courtesy of the golf | committee. Mrs. John Hodges is | captaining the Army team for this event and Mrs. Isabel Caldwell, daughter of Admiral and Mrs. Billard, is in charge of the combined Army-Marine forces. Candidates for either team are advised to get in touch with their respective leaders s soon as possible as try-outs | will be held in the near future. { It is expected that the teams will | meet in a series of two out of three | matches.

( : will strive desperately for a victory tomorrow over Mount St. Mary’s at Brookland. At the same -time Georgetown will meet Yale a second time, the Blue and Gray and Bulldogs being embattled to- day on the Hilltop. If the Cardinals lose to Mount St. Mary's they may look for an end of the gloom streak on Wednesday when Gallaudet will be played at Brookland. The Kendall Greeners have a new team which doesn't figure to take even the losing Brooklanders. However, the Gallaudet players are thoroughly steamed up over an 11-to-1 lacing they gave Charlotte Hall Aca- ?emy and hunger for the Cardinal ray, Georgetown, which meets Harvard Thursday, is shy of first-string pitchers. Packy White is filling in at first base in the absence of Johnny Bozek, who is visiting an ill relati at his Man- chester, N. H., home. Harvard will be Catholic University's foe on Friday. ; ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, jinxed by a poor inning or two in each of its four games thus far, Maryland, on its first tour, plays a conference game with North Carolina State at Raleigh today. A group of rabid college base ball fans went to Quantico today to see Holy Cross play the crack Marine team. It promised to be a pitching duel be- tween Kidd of the Leathernecks and Hebert, who has been pitching sensa- tionally for the Crusaders. Georgetown's brilliant tennis team engages Yale's today at the Hilltop. Emmet Pare, Georgetown ecaptain, is the three-time Western indoor cham- plon, Old Dominion outdoor champion and ranking No. 1 player of the Mid- dle Atlantic section. Gregory Mangin, fourteenth in the national rankin Freddy Mesmer, basket ball captain and a tennis star, and Kip Callan, who shone as a racketer at St. John's Prep, are Pare's team- mates.
