D-2 S PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1930. Dixie Conference Aids Sports : School Shots Halt Meels RIVALS ON CAMPUS HELP ONE ANOTHER Dr. Sanford, Pioneer, Points to Great Strides Made in Last Ten Years. BY H. C. BYRD. &« THLETICS in the South are conducted on such a higher plane than 10 years ago that the advancement actually is astounding to one who has fellowed college sports over many years” says Dean 8. V. Sanfdrd of the University of Georgia, who came here today at noon with the Georgia lacrosse team, which meets Maryland tomorrow. “To most of the people connected with athletics,” he continued, “changes in methods of administration come about in such a way that the really big accomplishments sometimes are lost sight of, but to us who have been more or less actively managing sports for many years the period from 10 years ago to the present represents a greater advancement than was made in whole previous 30 or 40 years that the colleges and universities have fostered organ- ized sports.” Dean Sanford attributes the rapid advancement in the South, both from a stand) t of efficiency and higher standards. to the Southern Conference, [ which body virtually dominates college athletics from the Mississippi River ! east and from the Mason-Dixon Line| to the Gulf. The Southern Confer- | ence, according to Dean Sanford, has | brought all institutions into close rela- tionship and taught them all that their interests are the same. It has developed the one great idea that the winning of a game is not the main aim of colleges, and has fostered a friendly feeling among its membership | that has brought about a new era of relationships, Help Each Other. “We all know,” continued Dean San- ford, “that athletics are much more efficiently managed under well organ- ized administrations; we all know that this has brought about stronger teams and a remarkable growth in foot ball; but one of the great lost sight of is the friendly spirit and co-operation that has been developed. All the big col in the South now are on & footing where they are ready and anx- ious to help one another, and this has accomplished much in the development of better teams as well as in promoting finer relationships. I know of many cases where universities have gone out of their way, at considerable sacrifice and detriment to their own teams, to help along other universities not so well situated at the time. This has been es- pecially true in the scheduling of games. “When I look back on athletics in the South 10 or 15 years ago, then conditions as they are now, I have little patience with any individual who tries to produce an impression that our col- leges, as far as their athletics is con- cerned, are going to the bowwows. From the point of view of one who has been administrator in uni- years than I some- times like to look back on, I can tell you that college athletics hold a valua- ble place in college life and provide one the most wholesome outlet for stu- dent enthustasms that has yet been de- vised. With the complexities—and I may say dangers—of modern Campus| Carey. John J. life, I don’t know Wi the universi- ties would do without a system of ath- letics around which to weave a whole- some student outlook and rational stu- | Gallery, dent action. Dr. Sanford Mainspring. ‘What Dean Sanford does not say, though, is that he has played the biggest m in brin about the changes in thern athletics of which he speaks. It was Dr. Sanford who in 1920 called the meet! for representatives of Southern colleges to form the Southern Conference. It was he who, when it seemed that reactionary forces were at work to block his efforts for progress, continued to call meeting after meeting until more than a year later, January 1, 1922, the Southern Conference came into being. The slogan Dean Sanford used as his reason for continued ef- forts to form the conference was: “We are not progressing, and it seems that the only chance we have to move on and effect real reforms in sports and advance to the standards we desire is to get to- gether in a mutually helpful organiza- tion and then all of us do the things we know we should do.” In speaking of the Georgia lacrosse team and the possibilities of lacrosse in the South, Dean Sanford says: “Our lacrosse team is not particu- larly strong. We have two former Army players coaching the team, and we are ing headway. Our team this year is the best we have ever had, and in an- other year or two we expect to be as good as the better college twelves. A great handicap we labor under is the matter of competition, Georgia Tech and Camp Benning having the only other teams in the far South. I like la- crosse, especially as it 15 a game which offers many who otherwise might not get a chance opportunities to play. I should like to see it developed in the South on a wide scale, as I believe it would add a good deal to our Spring | sports program.” The University of Maryland has the week end on local flields to itself. The ©Old Liners this afternoon hook up with Virginia Polytechnic Institute in base | ball and tomorrow meets the Georgia lacrosse twelve. The track team tomor- row entertains Virginia Military Insti-| tude in a dual meet. The ball game to- day begins at 4 o'clock, the track meet temorrow at 2 o'clock and the lacrosse wame at 4. The Georgia squad came in this morning and went immediately to Col- lege Park, where it is to work out this | afternoon. The Virginia Military Insti- tute trackmen do not get here until this evening. ‘The Naval Academy tomorrow after- noon will dedicat~ its new boat house, recently completed at a cost of some- where near $300,000. The dedication is to be celebrated with a full afternoon N. Y. U. BRINGS 17 MEN ON BASE BALL INVASION ITEW YORK, April 18.—Seventeen members of the New York University varsity base ball squad left late last night on the annual Southern trip, which will include three games in Virginia and Washington, D.

Outstanding entries among_the 216 listed are Karl Koski of New York, re- cent winner of the national champion- ship, who finished second here last year; Johnny Miles of Hamiltno, Ont., who won the event last year after a previous victory in record time, and the 41-year- old Clarence de Mar has finished first in six races. Bill Kennedy of Portchester, N. Y., is the third previous winner. He has been running in the race for years and in 19290 was twenty-second in a field starters. the runners ha their standing on the entry list.

It was the West Point team that gave the New Haven con- tingent its closest brush, Army having only the defeat of Yale to mar an other- wise perfect score, Columbia joined Yale in the cham- plonship lists by winning the saber or the third successive year. It point Lions to the three ties as their portion of the day’s dueling. On the other hand, Army bobbed up with three victories one tie and one defeat as its share of the spoils. But the Olympic system converted every Columbia deadlock into a victory, so that the Lions had, in reality, five straight triumphs to their credit. The Cadets insisted that their three successes took precedence over what was termed two conquests and three ties for Columbia. Their protest will be brought before the meeting of the ad- v ry board. Final team standing. Saber. More Worlds to Conqu O will win the more titles, Helen Wills Moody or Bobby Jones? So far, the little lady from Berkeley is three up on the gentleman from Atlanta, Ga., suh, but some day the Queen of Tennis is going to find that the cares and duties of being & wife and mother will interfere with winning tourna- ments, and though she will prob- ably still be playing and winning 20 years from now, so, too, will Emperor Jones, and there are likely to be many more young net stars who will come up in that time who can beat Mrs. Moody than there are golfers who can defeat the wizard of Atlanta. But if I'm wrong, don’t sue me, for Mrs. Bundy and Mrs. Wightman have kept up their tennis remark- ably over two decades. But so have golfers like John Ball, jr, who won the British amateur in 1888 and also in 1912, and J. H. Taylor, Harry Vardon and Sandy Herd, whose stretch of professional victories covers nearly a third of a century. ‘This tabulation does not take into SCHOOLBOY EVENTS ARE UPSET BY RAIN Rain threatens to wipe out schoolboy athletic activities hereabout for the re- mainder of the week. It erased yester- day's track meet scheduled between Eastern and Episcopal at Alexandria, after halting activity on Wednesday. The Eastern-Episcopal meet now has been set for next Tuesday at Alexan- dria. The meet will start an excep- tionally hard week for the Light Blue, who will engage the University of Mary- land freshmea in a dual meet a week from today at College Park, and will also be represented in the Penn relays at Philadelphia a week from tomarrow. Incidentally, Eastern's relay team, which probably will comprise Chester Miles, Clow, Swope and Weber, is slated to engage Tech's team, which likely will consist of Quinn, MacCartee, Wohifarth and Reichman, i1 the Penn relays. The Light Blue and McKinley quar- tets will compete in the class B mile event against a crack fleld. It will mark the first meeting of Eastern and Tech of the outdoor season. The ht Blue, however, met Tech twice in the indoor season and twice was victorious, turning the trick in the University of Virginia and the Catholic University meets. Central is listed to compete in the 440-yard relay in the Penn affair. This is the event in which Coach Bill Foley usually enters his proteges. COLLEGE LACROSSE. W. L.

The golfer has four major crowns to shoot at each year, if you don't count the French tournaments as major ones. The tennis player, even including the French hard- court championship, has only three major titles to go after in one year. '!;h;re was no Olympic tennis in 1928. Helen won the United States singles championship in 1923, 1924, 1925, 1927, 1928 and 1929, and prob- ably would have won in 1926 had not illness forced her to remain out of the competition. She won the last three Wimbledon champlon- ships, 1927, 1928 and 1929; the last two French and the Olympic title in 1924. Bobby won the United States amateur championship in 1924, 1925, 1927 and 1928. He won the United States open in 1923, 1926 and 1929 and the British open in 1926 and 1927.

ECAUSE Central's team has dis- bended following losses through scholastic ineligibility and East- ern has no team, no public high school rifle championship matches will be held this year, either indoor or out- door. It will be the first time in some fifteen years that at least one of the events has not been helu. Western is the lone team left in the public high group. However, Tech, which has a rifie range in its new build- ing, is organizing a team and next year it is expected that the title competition will be resumed as at least three schools, the minimum required for an official title series, will have teams. Central, which won all four titles last year, indoor and outdoor team and in- dividual crowns, and also captured the national scholastic title, was left with only a couple of seasoned shots on the team as the result of scholastic grades recently issued. The upshot was de- cision to disband the team. The boys are now giving attention to training the Central girls’ rifle team. Central has shot in just one match this season—the national title contest. Results of this engagement will be made public soon. Central's basc ball team will entertain Forest Park High of Baltimore in the Central Stadium tomorrow afternoon in a game marking the renewal of a lively rivalry. Central's _teams have been meeting those of Forest Park rather regularly in various sports for some years. : St. Alban’s also is listed for action tomorrow, being down for an encounter with a team of alumni of the Cathedral School on the St. Alban's diamond. Western’s tennis team is carded to visit Port Deposit to engage Tome School racketers. A couple of ball games comprised the program for athletes of the District schoolboy group today. Langdon and Woodward were to meet on the Monu- ment Grounds and Rockville High and Friends at Rockville.
