g T §IH P THREE SPORT MAN SETS TRACK MARK Piles Up 47 1-4 Points in “Ironman” Performance in Interclass Meet. ALLAUDET will lose its greatest < all-round athlete when Louis (Happy) Byouk gets his diploma this Summer. It nearly lost him two years 2go when Byouk, toiling on a railroad bed in Kansas, failed to observe an un- expected freight train. It struck his right arm, put him in the hospital for a month and almost ruined his athletic career. Despite flarebacks cf the railroad injury Byouk carried on in foot ball, track and basket ball, particularly the first two. He has been a triple threat on the gridiron since prep school days and put a track and field record on the slate at Kendall Green which may never be surpassed. In the annual inter-class meet of 1927, Byouk scored 43! points for an ironman mark. To do this it was necessary to take part in nearly every event on the program. A successor to Byouk may be found in Johnny Ringle, & stocky young fel- low from the corn fields of Kansas. Ringle can tote, kick and chuck a foot ball more than passing well. He is finishing his first year at Gallaudet. He was a bit awkward in basket ball at the start but quickly wore off the rough spots and became a capable guard and basket shooter. He is show- ing promise of class in track and fleld events. Much is expected from Johnny next year in all lines of athletics. Maryland has a freshman base ball team that promises to rival the Ter- rapins’ sensational yearling basket ball quint which averaged 45 points a game in crushing its 12 opponents of the last campaign. In its first three games the ©Old Line Cub team bangsd out 36 hits and scored 39 runs. Gordon Kessler, foot ball quarterback, and captain and center fielder of the ball team, has been president of his class at Maryland ever since he came to the Old Line institution. He is now & senior. Maryland finished seventh in the national intercollegiate championship rifle shoot in which 28 institutions were Tepresented. George Washington, the only other Washington college that competed, was fourteenth, State Uni- versity of Towa won the title with a score of 1365; West Virginia was second with 1,358; Carnegie Tech, third, 1,352 and Navy, fourth, 1,349. Norval Spicknall was high gun for Maryland with 284 out of a possible 300. Kerns led George Washington with 280. EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR COLLEGE TEAMS TODAY.

Officials in charge of the second an- nual Devitt School meet held Saturday on Georgetown University Field have voted John Williams of Oxford, N. C., High a special medal. Williams, entered in the high school shotput, made a heave of 49 feet in the preliminaries of that event in the morn- ing and then, through a misunderstand- ing, repaired to the locker room and did not report again until the event was over, automatically eliminating himself from the competition. The winning heave was 45 feet 9 inches. He was permitted to enter the prep school shotput in the afternoon and made a heave of 51 feet 2 inches, more than three feet in excess of the winning throw. Of course, howgver, his per- formance in this event was not official and did not figure in the point scorirg, MILLER, CAPITAL BOXER, IN NEW 'YORK TOURNEY ‘Washington will be represented in the New York A.

Hall Differs. . at 3 o'clock on . avenue and By the Associated Press. The néew foot ball fumble rule has stirred up a controversy with Sydney E. Hutchinson, chairman of the council on athletics and the foot ball committee at Pennsylvania, and Edward K. Hall of the national foot ball rules committee as_the principal debaters. Declaring that the new rule making it filegal for a player on the defending side to run with a fumble ball has met with “almost unanimous™ disfavor, Hutchinson asks that application of the new regulation be postponed until 1930. “Certainly every effort should be made not to saddle upon the game a radical innovation that offends the mil- lions who have helped to make foot ball America’s most popular outdoor sport,” Hutchihson said. Hall replied that the new rule had been favored by the Foot Ball Coaches’ Association “by an overwhelming “vote” and that most of the comment he had heard on. the change had been favor- able. , He pointed out that the new rule by means removes the penalty for fumbling, since the team dropping the ball still Toses possession.

By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, April 23.—Whether the Poughkeepsie regatta will have a record number of nine starters this year hinges to.a great extent on whether Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology's varsity .oarsmen can defeat Princeton on the Charles River on Saturday. An invitation to compete against Cornell, Syracuse, Pennsylvania, Co- lumbia, California, Navy, Washington and Wisconsin at Poughkeepsie is un- der consideration at M. L T, but no definite decision is expected until it can be determined what chance the figxlneers have against such competi- n. Some part of this question was an- swered on Saturday, when the M. I. T. varsity outrowed a heavy Navy boatload to win by three lengths. If the Engi- neers can follow up this triumph with another at Princeton’s expense it is re- garded as probable that the athletic committee at the Cambridge school will vote favorably on sending the crew to Poughkeepsie. The question of expense always has figured heavily in M. 1. T.s rowing cal- culations, ‘since the school has no var- sity foot ball team to help foot the bill as it does at all other schools with crews. Although invited to Poughkeep- sie for the last three or four years, M. 1. T. officials never have felt inclined to accept since there was little hope ‘that a good showing could be made. But there may be a change of heart this year. Bill Haines seems to have ar- rived at a formidable combination, largely of sophomore material. If the| Engineers can beat Princeton: there will remain little doubt that they have the stuff to push their way up among the leaders at Poughkeepsie. TEAM: TO PLAY SEMI-PRO A team has been organized here to be known as the Lem Owens’.Profes- sionals to play semi-pro base ball. In addition to Owens, such well known players as Monk Praser, Walter Beall, Pinney Kelly, Syl Giovanetti, Johnny Bleir, Squirrel Charles, Johnny Fitz- Smith, Mac McCarty, Freddy Noone, Charlie Hornsberger and Dick Wingate are expected to perform with the new team. Owens will manage the team and Harry H. Seyforth will be business man- | ager. Games may be arranged. through Seyforth by calling Lincoln 4638 or ad- dressing 2032 Bennett street northeast.

JOHN'SLOCKING TOMARYLAND FRAY May Accept if Conquerors of |Regards Swarthmore Clash as Incidental to Game at College Park. NNAPOLIS, Md., April 23.—Al- !s though the fast-traveling St. John's College lacrosse team will play Swarthmore at Swarth- x more tomorrow, Coach Dinty Moore has the big game with Maryland at College Park on Saturday uppermost in mind. 8t. John's has tucked away four vic- tories this season in as many starts. Its most impressive victories were over the strong Army stick team at West Point, 4 to 3, and Rutgers, 9 to 2. St. John’s has run up a total of 43 points to 10 for its opponents. With the Rutgers game the Johnnies played their last home contest, and the other games will be staged on strange grounds. St. John's has not played Swarthmore for two years. At that time St. John's had a green team and was defeated, but this year Moore hopes to reverse the tables. ‘The tilt with Maryland will be the big game on the St. John's schedule. The Annapolis twelve never has defeated the College Park stickmen, but has high hopes of -doing so this time. Moore will use about the same team this week that he used to defeat Army and Rutgers. It is: Merkel or Armacost, goal; Boucher, point; Lotz, cover point; Morris, first defense; Cornbrooks, sec- ond defense; Capt. Sam Jones, third defense; Ziegler, center: Andrew. third attack; Cross, second attack: Pool. first attack; Spring, out home, and Thom- sen, in home.
