Under Rockne Mills has had charge of freshman foot ‘ball and has done most of the scouting, a not unimportant part of foot ball at any university. Mills graduated from Beloit College and coached there for several years. He then took charge of foot ball at Creighton University and did such a good Job that he soon was recalled to his alma mater. His work at Beloit again was so good that Knute Rockne called him to Notre Dame to fill a job that he wanted taken care of by a man who knew foot ball and in whom he could to Mills, and no coach has done a better job as one of the integers in the Rockne Mills is expected to make good by y who knows him.

The general opinion among coaches is that George- town has made a wise choice.

A, —A closer relationship between the N.C.A.A. and the LC.A.A.A A, is seen if Dr. Charles Kennedy of Princeton is chosen president of the National Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion to succeed Gen. Palmer Plerce at the annual meeting of the organi- zation Wednesday. Dr: S. V. Sanford of Georgia is the South’s candidate for the presidency of the association in case the resig- nation of Gen. Pierce is accepted, but it is believed that Dr. Kennedy is the man most strongly favored. Until the past two years the I. C. A. A. A. A, which is the strongest in the East, has held more or less aloof from the N. C. A. A, but should Dr. Kennedy be chosen head of the national association it auto- matically would bring a firmer union between the two bodies, since the Princeton man has for a long time been one of the outstanding figures in the I. C. A. A. A. A. With the two collegiate associa- tions working in close relationship and harmony the authority of the A. A. U. in Olympic affairs would be seriously curtailed.

FIVE IS READY FOR YALE TOURNEY NEW YORK, December 31.—Boasting a 32-27 victory over Manhattan Col- lege, Georgetown University basketers today were looking to the Yale tourna- ment opening January 2 at New Haven and in which the Hoyas will be pitted against New York University and Holy Cross in addition to Yale. In conquering Manhattan last night abled him to keep the Notre Dame | the Hoyas made it two victories in three players in good shape during a strenu- ous session, during which they traveled & total distance of 8,000 miles. ‘The banquet during the evening was featured by a real common-sense talk by Charles W. Kennedy of Princeton and by the brilliant anecdotes of Bob Z of Illinois. It really was Zuppke who kept the affalr alive and scintillating by his witty remarks and ‘comments. Two Big Questions. Comment in connection with the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association meeting here tomorrow centers mainly on two things, the Carnegie report and the presidency. It generally is presumed that the Carnegie report will be accepted as a good thing and discussed in & way that will lead colleges to make real and practical efforts to do away with all} kinds of surreptious scholarships for athletes. As far as the presidency is concerned, there seems to be two dif-| ferent opinions. It is felt by one group that the nominating commitiee 1s something of a loaded proposition and that it will again nominate Gen. Pierce for the presidency despite the state- ment of the general that he desires to be relieved of the responsibilities of the starts on their annual holiday Northern foray. It was in the final moment that Georgetown drew away to win after the lead had alternated several times during the battle. At the half. Manhattan was ahead. 17 to 14, but the Blue and Grav rallied earlv in the second half to tie the score at 23-all. ‘Then, after a point-for-point struggle, which lasted several minutes, Dillon caged a niftv goal from scrim- mage to put the Hoyas shead, after which they went on to achieve a 32-25 lead.

OMORROW the Panther from Pitt is meeting the Trojan of Southern California out in the + latter’s back yard, so to speak.

EW YORK, December 31— Bince they are used to rig- orous exercise in the Winter climate of Los Angeles—char- acterized chiefly by Summer heat—it is likely that the Southern California players will be stronger than the Panthers as the game which will be played between Pitt and the Trojans in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena tomorrow works through the second half. ‘The degree to which the Easterners will feel the effects of the warm weather may well determine the outcome of this contest. It would be & good thing for Pittsburgh were she able to gain such a lead in the first half as to be able to_coast through the last two quarters. While Pitt is a formidable scoring machine, her offense will be tested to- morrow as it was not tested through- out the last season. And so_with her defense. The fact is that Pittsburgh in the past Fall met no eleven whose offensive and defensive strength was in any way equal to that of Southern Cali- fornia. At the same time it should be noted that at no time in 1929 was Pitt called upon to extend herself in the matter of scoring. Line Work May Decide. The issue—the writer is not ignoring possible effects of the weather—may be fought out in the line. Pitt's quick- moving guards, who are also powerful, may hold an edge in these positions and Pitt's center may clinch supremacy, but there is no reason to believe that the Trojan tackles will not hold their own, with é)erhlps a margin_ of ad- vantage and, even allowing Donchess his all-America honors, the chances are that the Trojan wingmen will be quite as valuable as the Pitt flankers. Both elevens have splendid ball car- riers on paper, what with Uansa, Park- inson, Baker and the rest, Pitt appears to hold an advantage. They are a truly remarkable band of performers. No team has yet stopped their attack, with its elusive running, its hard-smashing and coheslve knockdown interference. But, as already sald, no_outfit of Southern California’s all -around strength has faced that offense. Grant- ing this, the writer none the less would be inclined to pick Pitt were this game to be played, say in the Soldiers’ Stadium at Chicago. As it is, taking into consideration the climate, the stiffening effects of the long train ride across the continent, and holding in mind, also, the fact that the Trojans would be about an even match for the Panthers without any advantage of temperature, there is no ?lm;nnuve to picking Southern Cali- ornia. WITH OHIO STATE TEAM ANNAPOLIS, December 31.—Naval Academy base ball players will close their 1930 season with Ohlo State as opponents, Lieut. Comdr. Frederick G.

HAMPIONS and leaders in the world of sport, at the special request of the Associated Press, today set forth their views as to what the new year holds in prospect. Without exception they look forward to unusually keen competition, espe- cially in international rivalry, during 1930. Their statements follow: Bobby Jones, national open golf champion—"“The only thing worthy of comment in 1929 was the fact that there were no new arrivals in championship golf. All championships were won by men and women who had held them before except the American amateur, which was won by Harrison Johnston, a contender for years, Looking forward, I think 1930 will see much action in in- ternational competition, particularly in the amateur field. The United States should be able to send a fine team over for the Walker Cup matches and inas- much as the competition will be played on British soll, it is safe to say that the British side will be stronger than it was two years ago. A good many American players will very likely compete in both the British amateur and open tourna- ments. My plans are to take part in these events.” Connie Mack, the world be a fine year in sports. Sports of all kinds are constantly being placed on a higher plane and for this reason I think they will be bigger and greater than ever in the year at hand. The Ath- letics had a wonderful season in 1929, but I have strong hope that they will even surpass this record in 1980. I send my greetings to sport fans every- where and feel they are in for a great year.” Tommy Hitchcock, jr., captain of American polo “Big Four"—"1930 will be a big international year in polo and the United States enters it with as fine & supply of material as the country has ever had. To meet the challenge of & strong British team for the international cup we will have available the members of last year's international squad as well as some promising players who have developed rapidly since then. The col- leges each year are producing more and mx;lr;! men of potential international caliber.” Gene Tunney, retired heavyweight champion—*“As far as I am concerned my retirement is officila, but I have no thought that I have taken the future of boxing into retirement with me. The game will survive and, out of the chaos of the moment, order will emerge. Cer- tainly during the new year a heavy- weight champlon will established and this will add balance to the situa- tion which was somewhat unwieldy during 1929. No, I have no idea thal the future of boxing is behind it.” Knute Rockne, Notre Dame foot ball coach—"We lose nine-first-class foot ball players by graduation and face a stiff 10-game schedule in 1930 but don't feel too sorry for us. We'll have a fair team and be scoring a few touchdowns. I'm almost well again and should be able to be of some help to my very able coaching staff.” Arthur (the Gr Shires, White Sox first baseman—“What I'm going to do to American League pitchers in 1930 is nobody's business and what I'm going to do to some of these base ball players who think they can fight is plenty. My goal is to get $250,000 and then settle down in some little town. I expect to get & hunk of that in 1930 even if they do call me a fool.” Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion—“Boxing will crown a new heavyweight champion in 1930 and with im will come new interest and activity in all divisions. The heavyweight cham- pion is the king of the sport. Without hi xing doesn't go very far. Along with my best wishes to all sport follow- ers for a happy and 'rous New Year let me add the cons that the chosen in the Middle West.” Glenn 8.

One of the outstanding things of the past season was the advance of Western Catholic schools, notably St. Mary’s and Santa Clara, in & foot ball way.” James A. Farley, chairman of the New York State Athletlc Commission—*Box- ing will see more new champions in 1930 than ever before in the history of the game. A new champion will be set up -nwn‘.! the heavyweights, and he will give fresh impetus not only to that di- vision, but to all others. The sport as a whole enjoy the most pros- perous and exciting year of its history. My hope and wish is for & Happy New Year to all” Henrl Cochet, world tennis cham- pion—"“Our French team has just con- cluded its around-the-world trip with great success as I cable this from Cairo. I hope we shall have equal success in keeping the Davis Cup against the chal- lenge of youthful Americans.” ramplon— Heres Hoping. tast Davis champlon—"Here's av; Cup returns to America in 1030 in most successful year tennis has ever known. The fact that I am through with Davis Cup competition makes my wishes all more sincere.” M 1l, world lightweight fon—“I'm to risk my title often in 1930, and wi I expect some tough battles, I belleve I'll still be the lightweight champ. It's going to be a big geu- for boxi from the heavy- weights down, I think.” Frank Caride Notre Dame's All- America star—“It's been a long time since a first-rate foot ball team went through two seasons without a defeat. ‘That's my aim in 1930—to help Notre Dame win all of its 10 games and mak- ing it 19 straight. I should improve with experience next season.” Capt. Lawrence (Biff) Jones, Army foot ball coach—“The past foot ball season was satisfactory as a whole t0 coach and fan, although personally I favor the revision of the new fumble rule to its former status.” R. L. (Dink) Templeton, coach of champlonship Stanford track team— “The biggest forward step in track dur- ing 1929 was adoption of starting blocks, which I think will inevitably become universal. They are no mechanical aid to the runner, but by eliminating the digging of starting holes speed up meets immeasurably.” Col. John P.

ASADENA, Calif, December 31 (®)—College foot ball's capital, shifted to the far Southwestern section of the country, hummed with activity today as the undefeated Pittsburgh Panthers and Southern California Trojans romped through final workouts preliminary to the intersec- tional classic that will bring these pow- erful Eastern and Western rivals to- gether New Year day. Not since 1924, when Stanford and Notre Dame shared the annual Tourna- ment of Roses plum, has a forthcoming contest so caught the fancy of the foot ball faithful. The Rose Bowl, seating about 70,000 persons, has been sold out for weeks. It is the first time in five years that tickets have been placed at a premium where scalpers have been able to mobolize their forces. Pittsburgh smashed its way through the regular season to be ranked as the greatest team in the East. Southern Calfornia lost two games, to Notre Dame and California, but finished in a four- way tie for the Pacific Coast Conference championship, ‘Trojans Not Neglected. ‘Those who have followed the fortunes of the two teams favor the Pitt squad that Coach Jock Sutherland turned loose on a touchdown crusade this year.

Eastern and Western also have been active, Western Going Good. ‘Western has won four of its six games to date, triumphing over Hyattsville High, Alexandria High, Emerson and Gettysburg High.
