EW YORK, March 1.—The East- ern intercollegiate indoor track | and field championships will be held in the 102d Engineers' | Armory here tonight, with Penn, Har- | vard and New York University more or less joint, favorites to capture the team | title. Georgetown, hitherto regarded as a| strong contender, has been counted out | of the running in some quarters because |of the withdrawal from the 70-yard | sprint of Karl Wildermuth, who finished | inches behind Jimmy Daley of Holy| Cross in the event last year. Wilder- | muth_suffered a leg injury in a race with Jack Elder January 18 and has not | recovered. Penn’s chances are regarded as par- | ticularly bright. In addition to Barney | Berlinger, all-around ace, who is en- | tered in four events, the Quakers have several star sophomores. Harvard pre sented a well rounded team | whelming Cornell and Dartmouth in a triangular meet and should finish’ one- two. New York University, champion | last year, has lost the services of Phil Edwards and Fred Veit, but may make | a better showing than has been mm-[ pated through the versatility of Sol| Furth. { Six individual champions will defend their titles—Daley in the sprint, Furth | in the broad jump, Leo Sexton nf‘ Georgetown in "the 35-pound welght throw, an afternoon event; Ben Hedges\ of Princeton in the high jump, Joe Hagen of Columbia in the 2-mile run and Joe Hickey of New York University | in_the mile. | Holy Cross is favored in the mile re- lay and N.

It was away back in 1902, when “Pop” was coaching the old Carlisle team. ~ The whole -bunch was game, for that matter, and you really couldn't give one Indian an edge over another. To be just, that fellow Wheelock was on a par with Lubo. Our biggest game of the year, said ‘Warner, was with Cornell. That season it was set for October 18. A week before that date we had about con- cluded that we were in for a bad baeting. It looked as though we would be without the services of three of our best men. Wheelock, our left tackle, probably the best man in the country in the position at the time, and the one who did_all our kicking, was in the hospital suffering so badly from neuritis that they had to rig up a special apparatus to keep the bed clothes from touching him; Exedine, our great right end, had a wrenched ankle, and finally Scho- in Gridiron Classic.

Darned if he didn't go to the su- perintendent of the school and make a personal appeal. Sportsmanship like that struck the superintendent in a weak spot. He told Lubo that if the doctor thought his general condition was good—you see, he still had that possibility of tubercular infection in his mind—and we could devise some apparatus to protect his arm, it would ,be all right for him to play. But he'd have to get the doctor’s consent and mine, The doctor sald that only his wrist barred him. | “Well, coach,” said Lubo to me, | “there must be some way to fix the | arm | We sewed strips of thick leather | around his wrist, stuffed cotton inside | of them and taped the whole. |~ “It looks, Lubo, as if you were going to_get into that game,” T said.

Watching two basket ball teams battling in Montreal a year back convinced me that Canadian play- ers are as good as any when it comes to gaining control of the tap.

But the play didn't work as planned. No. 3 forward came up at top speed and slapped it with his hand right into the arms of his No. 4 guard, who was headed toward him at top speed. No. 4 was free to dribble and advance the ball into the opponent’s end of the court, where he passed it back to a traller who scored. (Copyright, 1930.)

BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. IAMI, Fla., March 1.—Bag, baggage and ballyhoo, the pugilistic hosts of Madi- son Square Garden pre- pared to beat a strategic retreat today from the disastrous scenes where the second battle of the coconut palms fouled and flopped. There have been more artistic failures than this Scott-Sharkey affair, Tex Rickard had his troubles at Toledo in 1919 and the boom town of Shelby, Mont., was hard hit by the flop of the Dempsey-Gibbons bout there in the Summer of 1923. But these, at least, had the glamous of a champlonship strug- | gle, no matter what the sad tale in the box office. E The_balmy setting of this Winter's fistic fiasco had few. if any, redeeming | teatures to offset its financial short- comings. These might have been over- looked with a more magnificent gesture | by the Garden Corporation had Jack | Sharkey achieved a_convincing and de- | cisive victory over Phil Scott, the pallid | Briton, who seems inflicted with chronic difficuity in the right sciatic nerve, As |it was, the battle added no luster to | heavyweight history. Scott, all hands concede, no matter whether they think the Briton was fouled, has been effectually removed as a heavyweight title contender. Thus the field is at least reduced by one in the wearisome and unsatisfactory serles of elimination, bouts since the retire- ment of Gene Tunney in the Summer of 1928. Jack’s Plans Uncertain. Sharkey, the main American hope, though & three-round victor over Scott under extraordinary circumstances, re- mains an uncertain figure as a of apparently great possibilities, but dis- tinctly erratic tendencies in the ring.

But then there may be chances of being forced to eat in the restaurants of other peoples or it might be that the traveler through some of the wild terrain m'ght b@® forced to nibble at a few figs or dates. It scems danger- ous as well as indelicate to eat a hand- ful of dates unless the toothpicks are handy. Toothpick sets may be simple or they may be quite ornate. There was one passenger aboard the Tingat who had an engraved platinum set, toothpicks for all occasions being held in the same conta'ner. Each toothpick was en- graved with the owner's monogram and coat of arms. The container was at- tached to a buttonhole in the vest by a platinum chain. In the Yrmnc(— of one using the ordinary quill set sup- a toothpick wielder of this dktlnctloni plied by the ship (without supplement) felt very burgeoise, as the boys and girls at the Dome Cafe in Paris would say. Still is is not so much the quality of the toothpicks. It is the manner in which they were handled. There was the slim blond at the other table to the right. Evidently she had been well brought up, as we say, for she handled her toothpicks in a most graceful fashion, displaying a few diamond rings as the fingers curled at the picking of the teeth. There are ways of doing things that indicate the antecedents. As a rule a French gentlemon with one of those spade beards picking his teeth is just a man picking teeth and that is ali there s to it. But graceful young things, who know their toothpicks, can make a picture that somebody might want to paint. One of my traveling companions told me that he first fell in love with his wife when he saw her teeth in a cafe of the gare. It was, of course, a chance place to feel the first inklings of the grand passion, or whatever you want to call it. There were scores of people picking their teeth at the time, for they always are picking their teeth in the Testaurants, But there was something in the way in which this young woman picked her teeth that convinced the infatuated young man that this was the girl for him. “And monsieur,” he said, “I never had occasion to’ regret that mo- ment. It seems marvelous that a sim- ple implement like a toothpick could Weave such a great romance.” At the Picnic. indispensability of the toothpick as brought home to me during a &k:nlc given in the Forest of Fontaine- ue a few weeks before this sailing. ‘The basket had been packed by Alphon- toothpick after the sh course and during the dinner. sine, the maid.

The basket was quite empty, but Alphone still seemed to be frisking it for something of importance. | Suddenly his face paled and he | emitted a cry of anguish. “We are lost!” he shouted. “Oh, that wretched | Alphonsine, with a memory that is less than that of a pig! She has forgotten! | | “If she forgot the corkscrew, it is | quite all right.” I said soothingly. “Be- | |ing an old campaigner, I always come | prepared. Be at ease, Alphonse, and ' |calm yourself. Even if I had forgotten | the corkscrew, I still know how to knock | the neck from a bottle. Sit down and | pass me a couple of chickens and a bottle.” | But Alphone still continued to wail. | His wife, our hostess, also turned pale, ! and it seemed that she was about to| swoon. The scene was so heart-rend- ing that I needed a drink myself. “All is lost!” wailed Alphonse again. “We shall starve on the picnic! Al- phonsine has forgotten the toothpicks!” Relief Arrives. T did look like a very tough situation, for it would take more than an hour to reach the nearest village, and the place for the toothpicks might be closed at that hour. There might be another picnic y somewhere with a few spare toothpicks that we could borrow, but that seemed unlikely. “Compose yourself,” I said again. “I can whittle out some toothpicks that would do in a pinch until we get back to civilization.” “Ah, that would be well enough for you and me, monsieur,” said Alphonse. “We are men inured to hardships. But the ladies? The health of my wife is delicate, as you will observe, and I fear the consequences should she be reduced to the use of wooden toothpicks with the dejeneur.” ‘Then Alphonse told us of some of is_terrible experiences dhfln‘ the hi Riff uprising in com- it off in a little mud Riff: St. Paul's A.

There were only 18,762 paying customers, of whom 11,897 sat in the $5 sections (until they moved else- where), 3,495 occupied $12,40 seats and 3.370 enjoyed the luxury of $25 loca- | tions. With Sharkey receiving $40,429.75. and Scott $32.243, the fighters’ pay roll reached $124,000 altogether, leav- ing the Garden less than $40,000 with which to pay the arena rental and the cost of operations, besides the main- | tenance of a larg> staff organization here for a month. The total cost of the nromotion was figured at no less than $200,000, so that the loss probably will be between $40,000 and $50,000.
