He struggled to get 561, his best score being 121. Perce Ellett drew five men’s share of hard luck, but managed to gather 590 maples. Ellett, who has been out of practice, got away to a promising start with games of 126 and 144, but there- after was unable to make the most of his marks. He collected an unusual fop score in the women's division. Iu One of the surprise performers last night was R. H. Green from Mount Rainier, whose set was 584.

NEW YORK, December 27.—The best all-around fighter in the game today is Mickey Walker, champion of the mid- dleweights, in the opinion of 62 sports writers who contributed to this year's boxing consensus in the New York Eve- ning Sun. ‘Walker, who has been fighting light- heavyweights and heavyweights, gained 24 votes for the honor of being classed the best all-around performer in the ring today, regardless of weight and class. Jimmy McLarnin, a welterweight, was second with 11 votes, and Jackie Kid Berg, British lightweight, third, with nine. weight, received six votes; Tony Can- zoneri, lightweight champion, three; Young Stribling, voted the best of the heavyweights, two; Young Corbett, wel- terweight, two, and Billy Petrolle, Dave Shade, Max Schmeling, Sammy Man- dell and Max Baer, one each. Walker won the same honor with 18 votes last year, but Kid Chocolate, the flashy Cuban Negro, who lost three straight bouts this season, dropped from second place in 1929 to no votes at all this year. Jack Sharkey, rated third last year, also received no consideration. HARTNET GETS BIG PAY To Receive $20,000 Season for Two Years With Cubs. CHICAGO, December 27 (#).—Catch- er Leo “Gabby"” Hartnett added the dol- lar sign to his stirring comeback today by signing a generous two-year con- tract with the Chicago Cubs. During the 1920 training season Hartnett’s arm went limp and he was forced out of the game all year. While many considered he was “through,” he persisted in receiving treatment from various specialists until his salary arm was pronounced cured. He convinced the Cubs of his comeback with the best season of his major league career dur- ing the 1930 campaign. ‘The new contract is understood to call for more than $20,000 a year.

Only two games are scheduled. i | Georgetown will figure in them both, meeting Manhattan College tomorrow night at New York and St. John’s College Tuesday night at Brooklyn.

EW YORK, December 27.—It's beginning to look as if a couple of old familiar performers, with an equally familiar figure at the keys of the ballyhoo organ, will stage the heavyweight act of the season in Miami this February, just as they did two years ago. The team of Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling are being groomed to repeat, by request of Madison Square Garden, their 1929 battle of the nodding palms. and once more, if satisfactory financial arrangements can be made, Jack Demp- sey will' be in there as master of cere- monies, adding the luster of his name and personality to the situation, bidding welcome to one and all. “Old Johnno” conferred today with Bill Carey, president of the Garden, and co-worker in promotion of the first Sharkey-Stribling duel at Miami Beach after the sudden death of Tex Rickard two years ago. ‘The negotiations paused at the stage of generalities because of Dempsey’s financial requests and the fact that the Garden so far has been unable to make definite arrangements for the bout. But if the match is made—and there seems . |no absolute bar—it seems certain that Hernsal promotion. . " ref n.

Skinker Eagles, who have ruled su- preme in the independent basket ball whirl here for several seasons, will open their campaign this afternoon, engaging the Detroit Clowns in the National Guard Armory at Silver Spring, Md., starting at 3 o'clock. Reports here are that members of the Detroit team have a repertoire of funny stuff that is really good. Buster Kenny, trick cigar smoker, is one of their topliners, and others play the ukulele and otherwise perform. They will put on their stuff before the game and during the halves. The team also is touted as a right considerable basket ball club, capable of causing the Eagles stern opposition. Bang-up battling also is expected in a preliminary which has been arranged between Stewart Photographers and the Venman Club of Baltimore, start- ing at 2 o'clock.

Hyattsville High's basket ball team, which begins its post-holiday schedule January 6 against Tech High at Wash- ington, will then have available a prom- ising center in Bob Newell, who stands 6 feet 2 inches.

ATLANTA, Ga., December 27, (#).— Bobby Dodd, all-Southern quarterback, has signed a contract to become back- field coach at Georgia Tech. He will begin his duties at Spring practice in 1931. Dodd will be a year-round coach at Tech as assistant to W. A. Alexander. y-Stribling Go May Enliven Miami This Winter heavyweight venture in the South. He wants Dempsey as “front man” for the show—if there is one—but Jack talks of the $60,000 worth of refereeing dates he would have to abandon to take over the project, and the conversation im- mediately lags. Dempsey is a double ace in the Gar- den’s efforts to stage anothet Sharkey- Stribling match, with the winner to meet Max Schmeling in June for the heavyweight championship. Sharkey is willing to play his part, and the New York State Athletic Commission, that warned .Max he must sign for a title g0 with the Boston gob within 15 days, also seems willing to let the elimination series take its normal course, but Strib- ling so far has balked.

State will be représented. Most colorful of the meetings is that of the coaches, largely because of the prominence of the sport they repre- sent. Banded in an organization of- ficially known as the American Foot Ball Coaches Association, they have a rather heavy program, in which almost every phase of foot ball is certain to come in for some discussion. Usually though, it is the byplay of the coaches meetings in which greatest interest 1s taken. Talks regarding arrangements for new alignments on the gridiron, private comparisons of the value of this coach with that coach, and* who will get the job in that school or an- other school and so on. Rules Sessions Lively. Officially the coaches take greatest interest in the discussion of rules and usually some rather acrimonious re- marks are passed. Some three or four years ago, when the shift began to get the attentlon of the rules committee and efforts to curb it were becoming more pronounced, one of the committees which met to work out some compromise had about ast stormy a session as possible without com- ing to actual blows. Those coaches that used the shift and those that did not expressed opinions of one another’s pro- fessional capacity that to one not in- terested in foot ball would have been extremely amusing. Of late years, the coaches have adopted a custom of having four out- standing members of their professions give talks on highly technical phases of play, and these talks have been very interesting and valuable, especially to the coaches just out of college. One of the talks tomorrow is to be on “End Play,” and others will take up different foot ball problems. Also at the end of each talk the coaches are free to ask such questions as they de- e. Many Ideas About Rules. ‘The question of changes in the rules is sure to come in for a good deal of overhauling. Coaches everywhere have more ideas about rules, although very few of them ever know fully the code, than the dyed-in-the-wool agitator knows about what is wrong with the Government. If one-hundredth part of the ideas expressed in the coaches’ meetings ever got into the rule book foot ball would become the greatest hodgepodge of sportdom. Out of the meetings, notwithstanding all the varied suggestions that are offered, there usually come some worth-while thought ngth:, rule: committee of the N. C. - A. to work over and adopt, or not, as the comimMtee sees fit. i x Three sessions make up the annual coaches meeting. The morning session is given over to addresses and reports, the afternoon session to general dis- cussions, and the night to a banquet, which has become famous for its “Brown Derby” stories. Annually the teller of the funniest story receives a gift of a brown derby. That these stories never reach the public, although some of them really are funny, is no fault of the coaches. The newspapers just can't print them. However, some of the so- called humorous publications in the col- ful field for material. Health Problems Studied. The meetings Tuesday are conducted by those organization that have in keep- ing not solely the development of foot ball or any other intercollegiate sport, but the Trecreational activities and aealth programs of entire student bodies. The directors of physical education get together to work ot their programs, so that they may take advantage of what has been accomplished in the whole field or in any part of it. The Student Health Association has some real prob- lems before it in seeking ways best to look after the physical welfare of the hundreds of thousands of students for which it must work out programs, be- cause the Student Health Association is nothing more or less than an organiza- tion of the individuals in the country who have charge of health work in the colleges and schools. The National Collegiate Athletic As- soclation is made up of nearly all the by | colleges in the country, either as direct member or through affiliations as mem- bers of conferences. Representatives of these colleges from every corner of the land get together once each year to dis- sect the animal known as intercollegiate athletics, try to find and eliminate any cancerous tissue, so that the animal may be sent forth as sound as possible for another year of activity. Association Saved Foot Ball. Out of the National Collegiate Asso- ciation meetings sometimes come good stories. This professor, or that col- lege president, gets “P and lambasts college athletics generally, and foot ball in particular, and they get a two-or- three bank head as the leading article on the sports page the next day. Then everybody goes home and college ath- letics, and foot ball in Elrtwullr. gets about 75 per cent of the sports page for the remaining 299 days of the scholastic year and a geod representa- tion the remaining time.
