Lawrence Lowell of Har- rd University in his annual report published today asks whether a single intercollegiate contest in sport an- nually would not be enough to maintain interest in college athletics. He contrasts the difference in atti- tude toward sports of the ancient Greeks and Romans, the former empha- sizing the cultivation of physical ex- cellence, and the latter, entertainment of the spectator. Is not the Greek principle preferable to the Roman for our_colleges? “But with our frequent intercollegiate games, with attracting of huge crowds at short intervals, and continuous pub- ncity, are we not slipping into the Rom- an attitude of mind? “The Greeks thought one great con- test of a kind In a year sufficient to sustain ardour in athletics. May it not be that a single intercollegiate meet in each sport would do the same?" SCHOLASTIC SPORTS PROGRAM FOR WEEK Basket Ball ‘Today.

HERE'S more in & number than a name these days when ath- letic teams take the fleld, for the average attendant at base ball, foot ball, basket ball and hockey contests doesn't readily recognize the individual player. Because of this the Washington chapter of the Base Ball ‘Writers' Association of America at its annual meeting yesterday went on rec- ord as favoring the inclusion of num- bers on the uniforms of the Nationals— numbers that may readily be distin- guished even by patrons seated in those parts of Griffith Stadium most remote from the home plate. The numbering of the Yankees and the Indians last season evoked much favorable comment from the fans about the American League circuit. It was regarded as a progressive step when professional base ball followed the lead of the college athletic organizations in an effort to please the public that foots the bill. And expressions of fans here that have come to the attention of the Washington chapter of the base bal scribes’ national organization indicate the numbering of the Nationals would prove a pleasing innovation at Grifith Stadium. President Clark Griffith is inclined to favor the addition of numbers to his players’ uniforms, but has conservative ideas as to the size of the numbers. It is his contention that those used on the Yankee suits last season were much too large, although they were of a size en- abling the easy reading of them from the stands. He preferred the smaller Cleveland numbers, he declares. figures on the Indians’ uniforms were not so easy to discern at a distance. However, the Washington prexy says that if Washington fans want his rl.y- ers to bear numbers on their uniforms the numbers will be there. But he in- sists they must be dainty affairs and not the prominent kind that emblazoned the LEAGUE’S BEST SCORER| MONTREAL, January 7 (P).—Led by little Cooney Weiland, center of the record-breaking Boston Bruins, the forwards of the American group still are showing the way in the National Hockey League goal-getting contest.

They Play Boys at Own Game BY WALTER T. BROWN, Associated Press Feature Service Writer. CHICAGO, January 7.—Basket Dall a boys' game? Ha! ha! from the Taylor Trunks and May and Malone teams of Chicago. And to back up the “ha, ha's” the girls are playing boys fives this year. The Trunks with 194 victories in nine years and only eight defeats claim the national championship. The Malones, newcomers, strength- ened by recruits from the Trunks and the Brownies, another success- ful quintet of girls, challenge that claim this year. The American Amateur Athletic Union also challenges it, but because of professionalism. Two of the Trunks are playground instructors. ‘The basket ball the Trunks, Brownies and Malones play is not the timid, ladylike kind of the bloomer age. It is fast and rough, and the girls wear boys' equipment. ‘The Trunks, ever since its organ! zation in 1921, has been an ambi- tious outfit, traveling to wherever there was competition that could not be brought to Chicago. This year the Edmonton, Canada, team, world champions, will be here to test the Trunks. Last year the locals won 37 games and lost 1; in 1927 they were undefeated in 35 games. The Malones took Helen Teague from the Trunks and Alice Linde- man from the Brownies and around them built a strong five for this campaign. They also will play the Edmonton girls. The big series with the Trunks will be late in January. ‘The Brownies are composed of members of the Illinois Women's Athletic Club, and their opponents must be within the A. A. U. fold. Violet Krubaeck, a stenographer, probably is the best girl player in the United States. Other stars are Ella Smith of the Trunks and Helen Teague and Alice Lindeman of the Malones. HYATISULLE HiH TOSSERS 10 TUR Boys’ and Girls’ Teams to Play at Catonsville Tomorrow. YATTSVILLE, Md., January 7.— Hyattsville High School boy and girl basket ball teams will go to Catonsville, Md.,, tomorrow afternoon to meet the high school teams there, Later this. month the Catons- ville teams will come here for return engagements. ‘Tomorrow's games will be the first regularly scheduled for both Hyattsville teams since the holidays. The boy team has won three and lost five while the girls won in their only start. In Catonsville the Hyattsville teams will be meeting what doubtless will prove their most stubborn foe thus far this season in competition with Mary- land combinations. Against State teams Hyattsville has shown to decided ad- vantage, all its losses having been to ‘Washington quints, which for the most part have held a marked advantage physically. Berwyn A. C. basketers today are boasting their fourth straight win in the Prince Georges County et Ball League, following their 20-18 triumph over Hyattsville Southern Methodists in a desperate struggle last night at the National Guard Armory. Berwyn now is firmly entrenched in fourth place, just a game and a half behind first place in the stirring flag race, In another game in the Armory last night, Company F, National Guard, tossers squeezed through a 15-13 victory over Calvary Methodists of Washington. Company F’s edge in foul shooting told. -Southern Methodists gave Berwyn much sterner opposition than had been and it h!‘::l. -B keen battle }{r%n the opening W e. Berwyn was ahead, 9 to 5, at half, but the Churchmen rallied in the second half, leading most of the way. However, Berwyn came back sgain in the dying moments to Rolph Jarrell, manager and forward of the Hyattsville High quint, led both teams in scoring with 11 points, includ- ing five goals from scrimmage and 8 foul shot. Rich Reeley with 6 points was most_consistent for Berwyn. In the Company F-Calvary game the lead also alternated frequently. The Soldiers had the edge at the half, 8 to 6, but after some more spirited competi- tion Sammy Crosthwaite for Com] F finally zoomed one through the hoop from the side of the court to give his team victory. Bernard Troy and John Costinett each with 5 points were the big shots in the winners’ attack, while Anderson and Scrivener each got 4 points to head Calvary's offense.

With four regulars dis- barred from further participation as members of school teams because they played in an unauthoized basket ball game at Cumberland Saturday night, December 21, Coach Walter Young to- day is engaged in organizing & new team from the rather inexperienced material remaining in his squad and the new Eagle combination will swing into action tomorrow night against Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. The schedule engagement with George Washington for Friday night also will be filled, according to the American University athletic authorities. A big basket ball week for colleges of the Washington area will be ushered in tonight with a game between George- town and Wake Forest on the Tech High School court, starting shortly after the completion of a preliminary between the Western High School and George- town freshmen combinations due to get under way at 7:15 o'clock. Another game is scheduled here to- morrow night between the Catholic Uni- versity and Mounnt St. Mary's quints. These teams are to clash on the Brook- land court. The varsity game will be preceded by one between Eastern High School and the C. U. freshmen, begin- ning at 7:30. Discussing the action of the faculty committee on athletics in declaring in- eligible four players of the varsity bas- ket ball team because they played an unauthorized game and “violated their amateur standing by receiving money,” Dr. George B.

BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. CHICAGO, January 7.—The Western Conference basket ball championship campaign is only three games old, but t?e tupset season is away to a great start. Out of three contests decided, two re- sulted in upsets of greater or lesser de- gree. Northwestern was not expected to defeat Wisconsin in the opener last Saturday night, but the Wildcats ba:- tled their way to a 23-to-14 triumph over the team that tied with Michigan for the 1929 title. Last night Illinols’ inexperienced team scored a somewhat surprising 19-to-15 triumph over a veteran Ohio State five at Champaign. The Illini were unable to stop Dick Ervin, who accounted for five of Ohio State’s six field goals. Michigan, co-holder of last year's title, ran true to expected form and trounced Minnesota, 32 to 17, at Minne- apolis, in its opener. The Wolverines' “big three”, Bob Chapman, Joe Trus- kowski and Bill Orwis, produced 26 of Michigan's 32 points. After Chicago settles up some pre- conference business against Ohio Wes- leyan tonight, things will be quiet unuil Saturday night, when eight teams will ™1 Michigan-Pura chigan-Purdue game at Lafa- yette ranks as the standout contest on the progr ‘The Wolverines have demonstrated plenty of power, while Purdue is reckoned am the first division fives because of Charlie Murphy, its giant, sharpshooting center, Glen Harmeson, one of the ranking forwards of the Big Nine, and other stars de- veloped by Coach Ward Lambert. ‘Wisconsin will play Ohio State at Co- lumbus, and Indiana will invade Chi- cago. must be eligible by meeting the scho- lastic standards of the college and by maintaining their amateur standing. We therefore cannot play ‘on our ath- letic teams students who arrange an unauthorized schedule and who receive money for playing.” ‘The students declared ineligible are Capt. David Lichliter, Leon Shloss, Le- land Field and Jack LaFavre. No ac- tion was taken against the fifth Ameri- can University student in the game, Herbert Elliotf, as he was ineligible on account of scholastic standing to play on the varsity. The unauthorized game was played against the Knights of Columbus team at Cumberland, and the Eagles, who played as the American University Col- legiates, were defeated, 31 to 18. Karl Wildermuth’s sensational per- formances in the sprints at the Brook- lyn K. of C. games Saturday night, when he equaled two world records in capturing three races, is seen as the beginning of the Georgetown dash man’s effort to regain national sprint laurels he lost to Jimmy Daley of Holy Cross last year. ‘Wildermuth was the sensation of the sprint ranks in 1928, when he rushed to the leadership and gave a great ac- count of himself last year. His per- formances Saturday night, however, were by far his best. But Wildermuth has a rough road ahead, for he is to compete in all the major events of the Winter board campaign and will en- counter the cream of the Eastern and Midwest dash talent. Coach Burton Shipley at University of Maryland has selected 11 of his squad of 17 players to bear the brunt of that institution's basket ball burden during the remainder of the season. Capt. Bill Evans, Ed Ronkin, Bozey Berger and Shorty Chalmers, forwards; Fred Hetzel and Pat Rooney, centers; Al Heagy, Julie Radice, Bob Gaylor and Charley May, guards, and Skinny Madi- gan, who is good at any position on the court, are those picked by the coach. Frenchy Cohan, Warren Rabbitt, John Pitzner, Al Pease, Jack Norris and Fred Steiber complete the squad, and are likely to break into the line-up, too. A. A. U HEAD SEES Amateur Athletes Priming for Much Competition, Says Brundage. AVERY BRUNDAGE, President National Amateur Athletic Union. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 7.—Reports from the chairmen of commit- tees in charge of 14 sports under the jurisdiction of the Amateur Athletic Union indicate 1930 will be a banner year in amateur ath- letics in the United States. With their minds already on the next Olympic games, to be held at Los Angeles in 1932, both coaches and athletes are preparing for a strenuous year of competition, realizing that all | resources must be developed if America is to retain its place as leader in amateur sport. Reports reaching A. A. U. head- quarters reveal that development in athletics, rticularly track and. fleld sports, in foreign countries which have adopted American methods has been phenomenal. Athletes from Finland and other Scandinavian _countries already have demonstrated their capa- bilities during appearances in this country, while Germany and Italy are well into national athletic programs reaching every man, woman and child. South American countries, South Africa and the Orlent all are in the midst of great progress for athletic development. A remarkable growth in interest in amateur sports among industrial insti- tutions and among women promise to provide new material to aid the United States in its effort to retain its world athletic leadership. The A. A. U. is solidly behind all movements to enforce adherence of amateur rules and will continue to take the initiative in problems concerning amateur athletics. Its program also will include plans for wider distribu- tion of amateur championship events AMATEUR HOCK!;Y. Chicago A.

TEWART PHOTOGRAPHERS are making no bones of the fact that they consider themselves the class of 145-pound basket ball teams in this neck of the woods. In fact, they are willing and keen to take on any team in Washington and nearby sec- tion regardless of weight. So far the Photographers have chalked up 19 victories, including wins over & host of stalwart unlimited quints. St. Martin's is a team the Stewart boys particularly want to meet and Manager Doc Hessler would like to hear from the Saints or any other team at Columbia 9333 with regard to games Tuesday and Friday nights. ‘Tonight, however, the Photographers are booked, being down for a e with the Poolesville High quint in the Silver Spring Armory at 8 o'clock. They also have listed several other games for the next few days, including one with the French tossers, with whom the Stewart quint engaged in a red-hot battle Sun- | day a week ago at Silver Spring, which broke up in a row. Another victory over Woodlawns will be sought by Phoenix Athletic Club when these teams hook up tonight in the gym at Fort Myer. Phoenix won an earlier game on its home court.

SPORT Wittmer Knows Legal Blocking BY SOL METZGER. Coach Wittmer’s Tiger fives at Old Nassau know all the tricks of legal blocking. You see, Wittmer is an old time foot ball star who had the blocking game pounded into him on the gridiron each Fall. Naturally he leans toward it. Well, here’s one of his out-of-bounds favorites that goes big and then, sometimes, doesn't, for reasons we'll show to- morTow. No. 1 has the ball out-of-bounds. Three teammates line up as shown in front of the basket. The first move is by No. 3. He rushes to the rear of opponent D, who 18 covering No. 4 and so times his move that No. 4 can break past the spot No. 3 has just deserted. Same time No. 2, the farthest away man of the trio, circles around all five players as shown, turns in and takes the pass in from No. 1. When it works No. 2 has an unhampered shot at the basket. Sometimes it doesn't work. That's the rub. For every play there is an antidote. Penn’s five have it for this one, as we'll see in tomorrow’s ar- ticle.

It is a fruitless task at best. Only the other day I thought I had some ideas for the almost “What a bean! perfect college wh T is somewhat depressing on occasions to find out that somebody has thought of one’s best ideas long before just at the moment one is disposed to pat himself on the head and say admiringly, What a bean!” ‘When this happens too fre- en the academic side would work hand in hand with the athletic side, where the coaches and the faculty would be as one and where the investigators of the Carnegie Foundation for the Investigation of Teaching would see no evil, hear no evil and | speak no evil. I set down ! these notions feeling like a Boy Scout who had done | the best of his good deeds for the day. Then I waited for a little approbation, for when one has done a good deed one naturally likes to take a slight and modest bow fo! But what was my dismay and dis- appointment when it appeared that my most serious efforts were misinterpreted for an attempt to be humorous. On top of that came the information that it all had been thought out before and the plan, which I have considered to be thoroughly original, was the brain child of somebody else and had quite grown up. It seems that Amherst (Brave Am- herst 'Twas & name that was known to fame in days of yore”) is that -almost perfect college of my dreams, or nightmare, and has been for some time. ‘The follo leter—apparently from an lumnus—is self-explana- “In your column for today, you close with what was perhaps intend- ed for a humorous solution to the problem of overstressed athletics; ‘to _ make each student an athlete, each athlete & student, each coach a member of the faculty and. each faculty member a coach.” “Perhaps you have not been aware that only the last of your four sugges- tions remains undone at Amherst— there are not enough coaching duties to allow all the faculty to be athletic coaches. But—— “The college catalogue dismisses the subject in three small paragraphs, to the effect that the college physician is head of the ‘department of hygiene and ghysicll education,” and that ‘three ours & week are required of juniors, sophomores and freshmen,’ that men who cannot swim must learn freshman year and pass qualification not later than sophomore year, and that various athletic instruction is given. What the catalogue does not state is this: “The college physician is in charge of physical examinations, head of the col- lege hospital; lectures to under-class men on personal hygiene and sanitation, has supervision of the sanitation of all college buildings and fraternity houses. “The foot ball coach is listed in the faculty as ‘associate professor of physical education.’ In addition to foot ball, he coaches basket ball and teaches gymnasium—a year-round job. One of the assistant coaches teaches the freshman basket ball team and the welght-throwers in track. Another assistant foot ball coach is an instructor in history. ‘The head coach also takes charge of base ball. “The track coach is also an associate professor, and doubles by helping with the base team. Among his assist- ants are the swimming instructor and an associate professor of mathematics. Instru Wr"}’ economics. The coaching ctor. in mics. of freshman teams is almost entirely in the hands of professors in some art cr sclence. It Works Fairly Well. “It works out fairly well. True, Am- herst has lost to Williams in foot ball for the last two vears, but won the pre- ceding three. The base ball team last Spring lost only to Colgate, 2-1, and to Iowa, 8-1. The blflet'lhfl team was,. r it. That is only human. I think, unbeaten. Track men took the Little Three championship and did fair- ly well in the intercollegiates. Soccer lost only to Williams last year and beat Williams this year. And Brown. And Harvard. Hockey holds its own fairly well. This year’s foot ball team lost only to Princeton and Willlams and was tied by Tufts. “Varsity contests are held on Pratt Field. But there is also Hitchcock Field. It contains two or three gridirons, two or three diamonds and a score of tennis courts. The outdoor track on Pratt is supplemented by the indoor track in the cage. There are 13 fraternities at Am- herst and the non-fraternity men form the fourteenth group under the name of Nu Phis. This fourteen-club league competes in touch foot ball, track, base ball, basket ball and singing. In addi- tion, there are class contests, dormitory contests, just general spontaneous con- tests of various descriptions, impromptu. Every student unable to present a doc- tor's certificate is an athlete of some sort. I found that out when there 25 years ago. I endeavored to avoid gym- nasium on the ground that I was get- ting exercise teaching my roommate broadsword fencing. To prove it, I had to put in my three hours a week broad- swording with a member of the faculty —who turned out to be New England champion, I got my exercise. Some Rigid Rules. “Overstressed athletics? Maybe. But any coach who has worked at Amherst for a generation is apt to state that | prexy’s team of scholastic ineligibles | could lick his varsity almost any day. The Carnegie Foundation failed to in- clude Amherst among the lily-whites, apparently for the reason that the alumni secretary was in a position to proselyte if he felt inclined. However— proselyted or not—the incoming athlete has to furnish four years of Latin and the other elements of a rather stiff high school course; and must maintain an average of pretty close to 70 or get off the squad.

And this ineligibility does not mesn that he can go out on the second eleven and die anonymously for dear old Amherst. He | gets off the squad. Pronto.

Is Forced to Make Ratings According to Alley Standards. | they're all different from the ones here. Washington has about 500. There are hundreds more along the Atlantic seaboard, and how to make ’em all alike, from Maine to Georgia, to standardize the game, is something to annoy George Isemann and his National Duck Pin Bowling Congress. George has been certifying records made here and there for the last year, but he let it become known today that records made in New England are not as precious as those made here and in other Central and South Atlantic ter- ritory. A painstaking investigation by Ise- mann and other congress authorities has revealed that an average of 119 in Washington is equal in merit to 122 in New England. The reason is a differ- ence in shape of gutters at the pit. It was thought that Bradley Mandley established a record for average on & circuit of alleys last season when he held a pace of 119 in the District League, but a New Englander topped this by 3 points. Jimmy Ross aver- aged 122, but was placed No. 4 in the official rational rankings and Mand- ley No. 1, the latter’s brilliant triumph in the Campbell Sweepstakes and other feats giving him a margin, There’s a Difference. If Ross had made his average here, BY R. D. THOMAS. HERE are nearly 10,000 bowling drives in New England, and undoubtedly he would have been placed on top, but he was favored by equip- ment. In New England the gutters are rounded, so that pins hitting the side boards are scooped back onto the field of play to bring down other pins. The gutters here are square, and the bowler is lucky if the sharp edge of the alley does'nt stop a flyback. In his investigation to determine what this difference meant in pinfall Isemann had the assistance of Paul Pohler, Archie Walsh and other New England experts, as well as alley man- agers and proprietors who have had experience with both kinds of gutters. All were quick to admit that the dif- ference was at least an average of three pins a game. 1t being obviously unfair to compare averages and records made on New Englanr alleyes with those in Central and South Atlantic cities, the con- gress, for the time being, has been forced to classify them. It has put its okay on Paul Har- rison's recent 714 total for five games made at Hartford, but only as a recora for New England, although it is the highest ever rolled anywhere unde: championship _conditions, . It has dealt likewise with a game of 195 rolled by J. H. Bergman of Providence in a sweepstakes, whic. topped by five pins the mark made by Howard Ryon of Washington, anu which had been regarded as.a nationai record. In the New England class, too, has been placed a three-game leagu: set of 11,939, rolled by Lowell agains. Wakefield, in which the game scores were 671, 644 and 624. The 695-game rolled the other nig! by the Recreation Happy Five in Bi timore has been certified and placed in the Central and South Atlantic list, although it is the highest ever rolled anywhere. Under the new classification ar- rangement it appears there can be no officia] national record, unless it be list- ed as a national record for round gut- ters or a national record for square There's a difference not to 10-game total rolled by Paul in the Connecticut-Grand Palace Valet doubles? His score of 1,347 is the high- est on record. Five of the games were rolled at Hartford and five here. The Big Problem. When the National Duckpin Bowling Congress was organized three years ago one of its prime purposes was to stan- dardize the game of hardwood duck- pins and drive out the sickly rubber- banded type, and from the beginning it has bent effort in that direction. It has accomplished much, but the con- g:‘s‘s is faced now with a herculean How to move the New Englanders to change their 10,000 drives to con- form with those in Central Atlantic cities and Dixie, or how to persuade the latter to conform to the New England standards is the problem and it is fraught with complications, not the least of which involves expense. ‘That it should be done for the gen- e;‘ll welfare of the sport is unquestion- able. Howard Ryon's 190 game, made in the Masonic League, has been topped twice by New Englanders. Bergman's 195 was rolled last March. Recently Nickolas Santoro, shooting with the Central Franklin team against the Paragons_at Woonsocket in the New England League, hooked up four spares and two double-header strikes for a score of 192. The individual sets in Lowell team's 1939 set were: Hindle, 421; Gillette, 395; Kydd, 381; McQuade, 371, and McDermott, 371. ‘Twenty-four cities are represented in the New England League, and the longest distance between any two is 30 miles. The league was organized by George Isemann. It has been a marked success. Washington bowling fans look forward eagerly to the Howard Campbell sweep- stakes, opening next Saturday night at the Coliseum. Among the most formi- dable of the new champlonship threats is Bernie Frye of the King Pin team, who counts it almost an off night if he doesn't get 600 maples in five games. Most, _closely watched, however, will ae Paul Harrion, the season’s sensa- jon. A’ score of 665, made by Charles Heim, leads in the Baltimore Sunday tournament, run under conditions sim- flar to the recent Washington Star event, which was won by Tony De Fino, with 632, —_——— NORTHERN A.
