FULLER, Jr. OME people are going to be fooled next Tuesday. Followers of Central, Eastern, ‘Tech, defending champion, and Business all are looking for victory when these teams get action that day in opening games of the public high school champlonship series in the Tech gym. - Central is to engage Eastern and Tech is to tackle Business. Only two of the teams can win, unless a tie or ties occur. Showings in pre-season games indi- cate that all four teams have a right to feel sanguine. All have shown power under fire. In last Winter's series Eastern & Central split even. Eastern triumphéd in the first meeting, but Central came back the final day of the series to con- quer the Lincoln Parkers, 23 to 22. Tech vanquished Business twice last season. but_boy, oh boy, what battles they were! McKinley won the first, 18 to 17, and the second, 33 to 20. Western, runner-up in last Winter's series, will make its debut January 10, against Eastern. Regardless of the winners Tuesday, fans probably will be able to get some- thing of an idea which teams, after all, will fight it out for the crown. And some people are bound to be fooled.

Until yesterday the McKinley quint had engaged in only one game and there was real doubt concerning its worth under fire. Yesterday, however, the Maroon and Gray gave a quite con- vineing demonstration that it “has the stuff” when it disposed of an alumni team comprising players of tried worth in a 46-35 game. ‘Though Coach Artie Boyd of the Mc- Kinley squad doubtless was well satis- fied with the work of his proteges, that young man had rather an annoying afternoon personally. A former Univer- sity of Maryland court stalwart and also & Tech graduate, Boyd injected himself into the grads’ line-up at the start of the second half with the object of checking Capt. Carl MacCartee, who was leading the undergraduates’ attack. Regardless of whether it was the def- erential thing to do, MacCartee pro- ceeded to lead the youthful mentor a merry chase, simply running rings around him. Becoming desperate, the resourceful Boyd made a clever move. Using his prerogative as coach, he yanked MacCartee. However, it was too late. The undergraduates had piled up too much of a lead to be beaten. MacCartee, with 15 points, led tHe winners’ offense, while Russell was a close second, with 14.

CHICAGO, January 1.—The Univer- sity of Jowa's sentence to athletic dis-|rrqce, barrmen t from the Western Conference became effective today. Declared guilty of irregularities in the conduct of its athletic affairs, Jowa on May 25, was ordered barred from com- titlon with !i» other nine schools of he Conference, effective January 1. Two petitions for reinstatement, the first on June 4, and the last one on De- cember 7, were rejected by the faculty | committee on athletics. The pleas were denied because the members of the body which voted the drastic action, were not convinced Iowa had done everything possible to clean its athletic house. Subsequent action by Iowa athletic officials in declaring ineligible athletes ‘who had benefitted by a financial fund, have improved its chances of being re- admit to athletic competition at an early date. However, there is little hope that the Hawkeyes will be able to strive for championships before 1931, even if reinstated.

IN TUNE-UP GAMES By the Associated Pre: CHICAGO, January 1.—Wisconsin will open its Western Conference basket ball campaign against Northwestern Saturday night with a record of four straight” early season victories—the Wildeats with a mark of two games won and two lost. The Badgers last night had an easy time with Towa State College, winning by 34 to 17, while Northwestern lost iis second meeting of the season with Notre Dame by 22 to 19. Northwestern led Notre Dame by a point with two minutes to go, but Smith's goal and Newbold’s brace of | free throws gave the Irish the edge. It was Notre Dame's first victory over Northwestern in six starts and evened up the season's score between the | teams. Northwestern won a 30 to 28| overtime battle at South Bend earlier in the season. Ohio State dropped its first contest of the season, bowing to the powerful Pittsburgh Panthers at Pittsburgh, 38 to 33. Wes Fesler, Buckeye captain, was wired to Chuck Hyatt, Pitt's sensa- tional leader, but could not halt the latter, who scored eight field goals. Ervin, Ohio State forward, accounted for six of the Buckeye's 15 field goals. Loyola University's team remained in the battle for whatever national honors there may be by hanging up its twenty- seventh consecutive triumph at the ex- pense of the powerful Montana State Bobceats. The Chicago team turned in a decisive 38-t0-28 victory over Cat ‘Thompson and his team. D. C. RUNNERS IN RACE. Haskell F.

Competition NEW YORK, January 1 ( Stanislaw Petkiewicz, Polish middle distance runner, has been barred from track and field competition in this country by the executive com- mittee of the Amateur Athletic Union. The Amateur Athletic Union said its ban on the Polish conqueror of Paavo Nurmi was due to “suspicious circumstances” surrounding Petkie- wicz's visit to this country. It was sald that the Pole came here at the secret_invitation of an individual in New York and has confined his entry to meets in which this person is in- terested. The Pole was not among the Europesn athletes invited to com- pete here by the Amateur Athletic Union. He has said the primary reason for coming here was to study American educational and political institutions. GALLAUDET, 6.W.U.

On three previous occasions McAl- lister has retired, only to spring sensa- tional comebacks.

EW YORK, January 1—Elimi- nation of gate receipts “highly paid seasonal coaches” and the organization of a new league or conference in which such in- novations as these could be put into practice were proposed today by Presi- dent Frank Parker Day of Union Col- lege in an address prepared for delivery before the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Speaking on “The Challenge of the Carnegie Report,” Dr. Day announced himself “glad to negotiate with nearby colleges of good academic standing and similar athletic strength for the forma- tion of such a league.” He mentioned as a nucleus for the proposed association of New York State and New England institutions Williams, Amherst, Wes- leyan, Hamilton, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Union. Has Waited in Vain, “I have been hoping for some years,” said Dr. Day, “that the big and well established universities in the East, like Harvard, Yale and -Princeton, would lead the way out of this athletic maze in which we are now wandering. “There seems to be no sign of this, however, and it was with a sinking heart that I recently read in the paper that the great University of Columbia had engaged an $18,000 coach to train her squad of foot ball players.” Dr. Day predicted that if such “truly amateur leagues” as he proposed could be formed among the small colleges named and others elsewhere ‘“much good in the way of example might come from it for the great universi- tles.” “We have in America a habit of capi- talizing all our fine sentiments. In this vast athletic venture in which we are engaged we have capitalized the spirit of young men to make a vast show for the public.” Drinking Is Criticized. © The Union College head took occa- sion to criticize drinking, betting and ungentlemanly behavior at one foot ball game which he attended, as well as to protest at what he regarded as “vulgarity and degradation” in radio its of gridiron contests. “It 1s no good shouldering the blame upon coaches or graduate managers,” he declared. “We, the administrators of colleges, must take the burden upon our own shoulders. “Here is what we might attempt: First, to have no gate fee to our games and to admit by invitation; second, to do away with high-priced seasonal coaches; third, to ban scouting, sub- sidizing, proselyting, and see to it strictly in our own circle that no under- te in college or university receive 1 gain and is appointed to no position simply because he is an athlete on a team.” Asserting that instead of a “crowd of onlookers, we need crowds of players,” Dr. Day said “a good many undergradu- ates in colleges feel that it is unjust that they should be taxed yearly in order that 30 or 40 highly selected ath- letes should be trained by a highly paid coach to meet the highly selected ath- letes of some other coilege. Should Stay in Class. Filing protest against small colleges opposing large universities in athletics and attributing such meetings to the desire of the small institutions for fat guarantees, he pointed out that “in other sporting matters we do not pro- ceed in this way, and match a famous heavyweight against an almost un- known lightweight, Amateur coaching among the colleges of the league he suggested was advc- cated. “I grant you that our teams would not be s0 good under this system of amateur coaching,” he said, “but I do not think that matters very much, al- though in America we have a burning desire to excel in athletics What Dr. Day Proposes As a “Cure” for Sports NEW YORK, January 1 (#).— Definite suggestions made today be- fore the N. C. A. A. by President Day of Unoin College designed to curb the evils of commercialism out~ lined in the Carnegie Foundation's famous “Bulletin 23" were: “First, that we stop making money and do away with gate receipts. “Second, that we give up profes- sional coaching, scouting, subsidizing, directing from the sidelines and come back to amateur coaching. “Third, that leagues be formed among local colleges that wish to play truly amateur athletics. “Fourth, that no compensation of any kind whatsoever be given to col- lege players who participate in sta~ dium games. “Fifth, that all our athletic deal- ings be open and above board, and in the full light of day and that our ideal be to give every student in col- lege a chance to participate in ath- letics.” SOUTHWEST ELEVEN IS SEEKING REVENGE By the Associpted Press. DALLAS, January 1.—The smashing power plays of the Middle West and the daring passing attack used extensively in the Southwest will be pitted against each other here today, when all-star teams of the two sections grapple in the second annual Dixie series. The bout finds the Southwest with a score to settle. Last year a collection of Big 8ix stars, headed by the obstreperous “Blue” Howell of Nebraska, won a de- cisive victory over the Southwest's best, This time, however, Ray Morrison, wily Southern Methodist mentor, who is noted for his use of the pass as an offensive weapon, has been called upon to coach this section's team, and prospects are fairly bright for the Southwest to square the count. Advance sales indicate more than 15,- 000 will witness the game. All proceeds above actual expenses will go to the Scottish Rite Hospital for erippled children here. Neither coach has announced an of- ficial starting line-up, but the follow- ing may be considered a close guess. Southwest.

Dartmouth put up a great battle against Yale's intercollegiate champion team before losing, 3 to 2, while Princeton displayed a good game Monday in trouncing Williams, 7 to 3. ‘The Green is a slight favorite to win despite an 11-to-3 beating by Toronto at Boston Monday.

EW YORK, January 1.—It was & foregone conclusion that Dr. Charles Kennedy of Princeton would be elected president of the Natlonal Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation to succeed Gen. Palmer Pierce at the annual election of officers of the organization late today. ‘With Dr. Kennedy's election as presi- dent a closer relationship between the N.C.A A andtheI.C. A. A. A.

A, which is the strongest in the East, has held more or less aloof from the N. C. A. A. With the two collegiate associations working in close relationship and har- mony the authority of the A.

He said that he felt he had been president long enough, having served continuously as head of the organiza- tion since its establishment, in 1906, except for two years, 1915 and 1916, when he was in service in China and in the Philippines.

BY PAUL W. ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer, ASADENA, Calif., January 1.—On the historic greensward of the Rose Bowl, where annually is unfolded on New Year day the dramatics of an intersectional contes’ for gridiron supremacy, the Golden Panthers of Pittsburgh and the Univer- sity of Southern California Trojans to- day assembled their forces for the fif- teenth annual tournament of roses foot ball classic. Primed to the minute, these select elevens will pit their skill and cunning against each other before a capacity crowd of 70,000 enthusiasts in defense of the honors of the East and the Pa- cific seaboard. Despite a season’s record which is marred by two defeats, Coach Howard Jones' Trojans were quoted as slight favorites to administer to Coach Johu Sutherland’s combination its initial beating. A much talked of climatic condition —warm weather—had a great deal to do’ with this partiality shown the coast aggregation. Predictions from official sources were that a clear, warm day, which would see the mercury mount to 65 or 70 degrees, would be on the pro- gram. While the Pitt players and their ad- visory staff burned all bridges behind them by announcing that the weather would have nothing to do with the out- come of the struggle, followers of the annual game pointed to previous con- flicts and shook their heads.

The Southern Callfornia { squad hopes to couple & boasted reserve power of untold preparations with such sparkling performers as Russell Saun- ders, Francis Tappaan and Marshall Duffield.

Three games have ended in deadlock, while four were claimed by aggregations from east of the Mississippi River. Southern California enters today's fray trailed by the jinxing fact that no team has twice won in the annual clash, but the Men of Troy have brushed this aside with abandon, ges- turing with pride to a season's record ‘whic] notwithstanding two defeats, the U.

ASE BALL invaded the foot ball season and it looks as if foot ball might make a counter at- tack. Both of these sports soon will be out for Spring practice. A number of things are demonstrated by the result of the Stanford-Army foot ball game. One is that Stanford has a better team than Army. It was no bet- ter team for two quarters, but they don't pay off on the first half of a con- test. Stamina is one of the require- ments, and the winner is the ‘contest- ant ahead at the finish, Smalling evidently is a better back than he received credit for being. There are apparently few all-America te: which he would not strengthen, o though few gave him much attention. Fleishhacker's knee trouble him unduly. Here is another back any team could use. But_Chris Cagle didn't lose any pres- tige. Switch Chris over, put him behind that Stanford interference, and he would constantly be going somewhere. As it was, Stanford had to gang him to keep him fairly quiet, and at times he appeared to be moving fairly rapidly in spite of all opposition. Proves Kicking Value. better demonstrated tha this game at Palo Alto. It actually was a short kick, as much as a fumble, which led to_Stanford’s third touchdown. I still believe that teams which go from the East to California in December are a bit handicapped. They will tell you that Califonria elevens come East without losing their effectiveness. That's true enough, but the case is the same only in matter of distance. A man in good condition can go from a warm climate to a cold and feel full of energy. But the man who goes from a cold cli- mate to a warm one is likely to feel list- less for some time. That does not mean that I do not think Stanford would have defeated Army on any fleld. The Westerners had a great team and stronger reserves. Now Pittsburgh will be all the more eager to defeat Southern California. Southern California beat Stanford, and Pittsburgh is undoubtedly a stronger team than Army, so this should be a great game. To my mind, it Southern California wins from Pitt, it will have N | beaten the strongest team east of the Rocky Mountains, Work for Officials. didn't seem to Stanford Team Shows Stamina In Triumph Over Army Gridmen coaches of foot ball are now meeting in New York to talk matters over and make plans for next year. The college assoclations also are in session. 8o, it becomes evident that such matters as the foot ball rules and the Carnegie re- port will be in for long discussions. It is sincerely to be hoped that the officials will let the foot ball rules alone. | They have changed the rules so often |and made them so complicated that a | number of these officials themselves have been unable to keep the chang in mind. This was demonstrated plain- ly in some of the smaller college games this past season. Any step toward sim- plification would be a good step, but changes have been all too frequent, As for the Carnegie report, abut all | the colleges in mass formation can do is to pass resolutions. Any reform ean come only through individual Institu- tions and from the inside. Rules Now Satisfy. To go back to the foot ball rules, I believe that the rules commitee is pretty well satisfied with the present code. The fumble rule apparently has come | to stay. Its strength is that many of | the players seem to like it. I never have believed much in rule protection from manual errors, but the present method of treating fumbles certainly does tend to simplify the rules, and that always is to be desired. Moreover, the rule seems to have worked out in action as well as theory, and that is the real ‘The value of kicking l'll“Q"}y has been | te: st.
