With the exception of basket ball, Hardell can see little prospect of the Maroon and Gray being represented by a winner. In foot ball, track and base ball Tech will be handicapped by a lack of experienced material. In basket ball there will be plenty of talent. Mardell believes that from now on the McKinley court team always will have to be reck- oned with in the public high series. He points out that the school now has a fine gym, a highly capa- ble coach in Artie Boyd, and a student body assured of a size that will produce sufficient material. Lack of a stadium has handicapped Tech se- verely in past seasons, says Hardell, and this bar- rier cannot be overcome until the facilities of the new stadium have been available for an appreciable time. Because the school has not had adequate facilities it has been forced to limit the size of its squads to a point where extreme difficulty has been experienced in providing replacements. Hardell says. that with the exception of the 1924 season, when only one veteran, Kessler, was at hand at the start of the campaign, Tech never had such a gloomy gridiron outlook as it faces next Fall. Just two experienced players will be on the Year BLUEGE STEALING HOME WITH THE TALLY THAT BEAT BROWNS IN NINTH ECH HIGH SCHOOL will experience next year, athletically BY H. C.

Driver, recently appointed director of athletics. Driver took charge at Charlottesville three or four weeks ago, and he is inwardly and outwardly enthusiastic over the outlook and also about the spirit cf co-operation he has found among faculty students and alumni. Driver spoke freely today about Virginia athletics and what he says indicates that he is as optimistic as any human being could be | about the possibilities of his job. “Frankly, even if I were not a Virginia alumnus, athletics at the university would hold out more for me than at any other insti- tution,” says Driver. “Since I took charge a few weeks ago I have | been given every bit of co-operation it has been humanly possible for the people at Virginia to provide. “That holds good for faculty,|low to have everybody pulling for him | alumni and students.

We know what some of our faults have bene and will eliminate them. It will not be long before we shall have everything going in good shape. with a strongly centralized or- ganization. We all believe that a lack of centralized control has been one of our main difficulties, especially in the development of teams. “One_exceedingly plea the athletic situation at fine relaticnshil the university has with other universities, due, in measure, I beileve, to the fine work done by Dr. John Neff, Dr. George Fer- guson and Ellis Brown.

President a Big Help. | “I alway w that President Alder- | man was a splendid type of man, but I never knew Just how fine he was until 1 took charge of athletics. He is willing to lend his help in everything and henceforth he wants athletics to be a department of the university ®ith the | standing it has in some of the big| Middle Western universities. Athletics at Virginia will be cn a much higher plane for this reason alone. “The spirit that President Alderm has shown seems to be the univers| spirit, which is one of helpfulness. So far, I have not seen even a ripple on the surface of the water. To me, the situation at Virginia is much the same as a great, deep river which flows si- lently but surely toward its destination. At Virginia everybody seems to have #:t for the university a high goal and to be quietly but surely working to chieve it. B Personally I have never tackled a job for which I had as much enthusi- asm. Honestly, T feel very much like a fellow who has just graduated from college with a new. job and the world before him.

Driver | has real ability. and it is ability to do things that gives him his optimistic out- look for athletics at Virginia. He sees possibilities way beyond any goal so far attained by the Charlottesville | school, and will come just about as near as eny human being could come to developing those possibilities into | realities. Probably the most pleasing part of the situation as indicated by Driver, is | the spirit of co-operation he has found. | Usually when a man takes charge of | athletics at any school his first work is to look around to ascertain from whom he may most likely expect help. Some- times there is just as big a group willing to throw monkey wrenches into the ma- chinery as there is ready to aid. and to find everybody willing to put a shoulder to the wheel would be a pleasant sur- prise for any man in athletics. And it may be accepted by Virginia people as a | mighty good indication of what results | | to expect, as there is no field of en- deavor in which harmony counts for so much. He's a Business Man. Driver has a fine personality, knows athletics and is just as good a busines man as “Sally” Miles of Virginia Poiy. technic Institute, which means that any time he spends a dollar of Virginia's money, Virginia will come near getting two dollars’ worth of something for it. In the past the Charlottesville school has had a hard time making both ends meet, financially, but that is one phase of athletics that Driver will cure just as surely as Raskob will pay off the Democratic debt. Virginia teams will find themselves in much better physical condition; they will be better equipped: the coaches will know just where they stand at all times, and will be_assured of the right kind of backing. In other words, Driver will make good on his job. | Polo Devatees in for a Treat; Week of Play ASHINGTON polo de- votees are in for a treat beginning Saturday_and continuing a week. Dur- ing this period play for the Infantry Association cups will be staged and the Southern half of the circuit tournament will be held. The matches will be played on the oval in Potomac Park. Field Artillery malletmen et ver, Va, will meet the four from the Infantry School at Fort Ben- ning. Ga., or the War Whites Saturday h the first game for the Infantry Asso- ciation Cups. A double-header will be played next "Tuesday to start the circuit tournament. Sixteenth Field Artillery will meet the Maryland Polo Club and the War De- partment team, the civilian four from Middleburg, Va. The 3rd Cavalry four of Fort Myer, which has drawn a bye. Will meet the winner of the 16th Field Artillery-Maryland Polo Club match on June 13 and the final of the tournament will be played June 15. Cups for the circuit tournament have been presented by the American Remount Association. The winning team of the Circuit “Tournament will meet the victorious team of the northern half of the eir- Opens Saturday cuit in a final game to be arranged later either in Washington, at Phila- delphia or Rumson, N. J. There is therefore an even chance that Wash- ington will later in the season see one of the strongest teams in this vicinity in action on the Potomac Park Field. As soon as eliminations are made from the circuit tournament the re- mainder of the games for the Infantry Association Cups will be played. This latter tournament will thereafter come on concurrently with the circuit tonrna- ment. The probable line-up of the teams for tourney play is as follows: The Infantry School, Fort Benning, | Ga.

It must have made the Sioux young warriors a little impatient on’ the eve of a foray to hear from one of the gray chiefs that 20 moons before the Sioux beat the Blackfeet by 208 scalps to 97, and that 5 moons be- fore that the tribe shut out the Sac and Fox by 481 scalps to 0. Naturally the old chiefs frequently must have deplored the decline in tribal spirit and the lack of enthusiasm for the game as shown by the decrease in volume of the tribal war whoop.

Several hours later word came from Frankfort, Ind, that the high school board there had coach, Everett Case, to Chicago tomor- row to tell what he may know about Towa athletes. Not much has been said about Case. He is regarded as one of the best high school basket ball coaches in Indiana. Two of Case's high school stars went to Iowa and subsequently played on Iowa basket ball teams. Case and Sam Barry, until recently basket ball coach at Iowa, were friends. Case, desiring in 1926 to resume his teacher’s ' license, sought credits at Summer school, and is understood to have obtained them through attend- ance at the School of Education of Iowa.

French of Ohio State and Prof. George | A. Goodenough of the University of | Illinois. It ruled that ITowa must demon- | strate in a practical manner its ability to stop proselyting and subsidizing ati letes, and to bring control of its ath- letic activities under the control of the faculty. Towa will have from now until Janu- ary 1, 1930, to produce concerte evi- dence that it has been able to eliminate the abuses which caused the Big Ten faculty to decide that athletic rela- tions would be severed with the school. January 1, 1930, was set as the date when the action should become effective. Jowa Given Time. Three Iowa representatives, led by President Walter Jessup, promised to do everything possible to remove the causes for the action of the committee. ?jsrazemcm issued after the meeting said: “The committee’s opinion is that it | s premature to grant Iowa’s petition. | Time must elapse. This will afford Iowa an opportunity to demonstrate its abllity to make the resolutions of its governing body effective and to demon- strate to the conference that it can correct present -abuses.” The Towa representatives did mot question the justice or propriety of the faculty committee’s action, the state- ment_added. During the hearing four questions were asked of the Iowa officials: 1. Can Iowa guard effectively the matter of scholarship eligibility? 2. Can Iowa eliminate the subsidiz- | ing of athletes by funds of various kinds and by the use of student notes? 3. Can Iowa restrain alumni activi- | ties and maintain full faculty control? 4. Is the athletic department willing to disqualify all present athletes who have received improper financial aid? ‘The meeting was secret and the ex- act replies to the questions were not divulged. However, officials of the school before the meeting had declared their determination to do everything possible to eradicate the abuses referred to in the first three questions. In answer to the fourth, E. H. Lauer, newly appointed director’ of athletics, after the meeting, said Iowa would | await detailed charges against individ- | uals by Maj.

It is the belief of Hardell that Eastern will have an outstanding team, and he figures that, start- ing next Fall, Central will have a strong eleven for several seasons. By next Fall he opines that the fruits of the building-up program which has been conducted by Louis J. (“Ty”) Rauber, Central coach, will become manifest. Milton Abramson_was presented the Raymond E.

Why should I look upon the ball When I can see the flaming trees, Whose radiant branches rise and fall Before the whisper of the breeze? For long and gray was Winter’s cold And bleak and brown was Winter's And who can put the bunkered nd who can pu e bunkered fold Above the glory of the green? 1 The Best Heavyweight. THE winner of the Paulino-Schmeling affair is booked to meet. Jack Shar- ey in September to decide the final elimination. But in the meanwhile there | are two other entries to be considered. One is Jack Dempsey, who is still dan- generous against a certain type of fighter —the type that will crowd in to exchange punches at close range. The other is ‘Tommy Loughran, who has had far more success against heavyweights than against others who are smaller and faster. Dempsey was always more effec- tive against ring glants than he was against smaller men, such as Gibbons and Tunney. He couldn't bother Gib- bons a lot in 15 rounds as far back as 1923. And he had no success at all against Tunney, outside of one round | of the 20 they fought. Harry Greb had far greater suc- cess against Gibbons. Tunney and other big men than he had against Tiger Flowers, Walker and other smaller men who had much more speed. Tommy Loughran has swarmed all over such fighters as Johnny Risko -and Ernie Schaaf. His speed has made the bigger men look foolish. - Loughran would be close to an even money bet against any heavyweight today, for most of those around couldn't hit him with a double handful of shot. The question has. been frequently asked as to whether the Muldoon-Tun- ney trophy will be awarded to the win- ner of the September bout.. This will probably depend a lot upon how things work out. If either Schmeling or Pau- lino can put over a one-sided victor this June and then knock out Jac then probably get the nomination. But unless the final winner comes through with a big margin to spare —a decisive victory—there is small chance that any such award will be made.

What makes Hardell more pessimistic is that Tech is scheduled to meet Eastern and Central, which, he figures, will be McKinley’s toughest opponents tennis team which represented the school and which won the city prep school championship.

The point & the next heavyweight cmmfiimm‘uld be made to prove his place with more than a few steps to spare. And if Jack Dempsey decides defi- nitely to come back and sticks to his decision, he will undoubtedly have to be _ considered in any final summing up. Foot Ball Coaching. 'HERE is a case being presented a certain foot ball coach that goes beyond the matter of winning or losing. It involves the morale of that part of the student body which goes in for the game. This is always something to be considered—and if it is proved, is s heavy indictment. The nature of foot ball is such that there is bound to be a tendency toward hard driving and drudgery. But this can be overdone, and often is. It is easy enough to take the fun out of foot ball and to kill the spirit of a team or a squad. Years ago there was a certain big university team that had been driven to the breaking point. This team was losing game after game. A hurried call was sent to another coach, who saw at ‘gx‘:cel_ what tha;g‘ napp%ned. In place of | bawling out his squad, his opening re- mark was about as follows: og “This is the best looking material T've seen in a long time. You fellows {have run into some bad breaks, but |1t will be different from now.. You're too good to be beaten again.” And it so happened this team lost no more games that Fall. There are times when it is necessary to kill overconfidence and a touch of the swell head. But there are also times when encouragement and a Ppraise are more important than con= stant riding and driving. Pessimism_in foot ball is frequently overdone. Few coaches want to have the word spread about that they have great material, because if a slump comes and the material doesn’t pan out, the coach then takes it on the jaw. And there are times when “great material” isn't as great as it seems. ‘There are also great morale makers and in this class there are probably none any better than such coaches as Knute Rockne, Dan McGugin and Hill Alexander, to mention only a few from a long list who might also be included. There are many coaches who do an in. calculable amount of good outside their ability to devise plays and teach win- ning foot ball. There are others who could be much more useful along the | lines of character building and morale | making. (Copyright. 1929.) Wonder what Mertz will say today?
