EW YORK, January 6.—A little international flavor- ing has been tosséd into the indoor track season to make it that much more palatable to the customers. Two of France's leading middie-dis- tance aces, Scraphin Martin and Paul Keller, have accepted invitations to Tun here and, under present plans, will compete in haif a dozen Eastern meets, including the National A. A. Ui cham- pionships at Madison Squar: Garden February 25. Jules Ladoumegue, crack 1,500-meter runner, also was invited, but declined to join the party in view of his forthcoming marriage. Under a new regulation of the Inter- nation Amateur Athletic Federation, Martin and Keller will b: permitted to compete over a period limited to 21 days. With this time limit in mind, the A. A. U. has arranged a program by which_the Prench stars would arrive here February 5 and on: or the other would run in the Millrose A. A. games February 7 at New York, Seton Hall games at Newark February 10, Meadow- brook A. C. meet at Philadelphia Feb- Tuary 12, Boston A. A. games February 14, New York A. C. meect February 16 and both in the national championships February 25. They would leave for home the following day. To Alternate in Meets. Under the A. A. U’s plan the in- | vaders would alternate at these meets, one competing in the Millrose games, for instance, and the other at the Seton Hall meot. Both, however, would end their short campaign in the national | championships. Martin bettered the world record for | 800 meters with a 1:50 3-5 performance in 1928, but the mark never was ac- cepted. He captured the Prench 800- meter title in 1929, but surrendered it to, Keller Jast year. forthcoming_visit of Martin and Keller will mark the first time, in re- cent years at least, that the French have been represented in track compe- tition here. ~ Other nations, notably Norway, Finland, Italy, Sweden, Swit- zerland, Germany, Canada, England and Holland, all have sent stars here for the indoor season at one time or another. during the last six years. | Banner Season in 1925. | The year 1925 was the banner season | from an international standpoint, for it was then that Paavo Nurmi, the| Phantom Finn, shattered records so fast over here the experts scarcely could keep track of them. Ugo Frigerio, the colorful Italian walker, and Gordon | Goodwin of England, another heel-and- | toe expert, were here the same year. In 1926, Charley Hoff came from his native Norway to amaze the experts with his pole-vaulting skill, although | ms achievements later were surpassed by such hom | ebreds as Sabin Carr, Lee Barnes, Fred Sturdy and others. Hu- bert Houben, German sprinter, and Paulen, Dutch quarter-miler, also competed here n. during the 1926 in- door season. Since then the international angle not been £0 strongly, but there have been the yisits of such e stars as Edvin Wide, Swedish schoolmaster, in 1927 and 1929; Dr. Otto Peltzer of Germany in the 1928-9 season, Nggmi, Eino Purje of Pinland and Percy Williams of Canada in 1929 | :l'l:om.

In the opinion of the writer the G. U.-G. W. game would be a better paying contest than the Georgetown-Virginia game. Announcement of Manager Jim McAleer of the Washington base ball team that he waived on Johnny ‘Priest, D. C. boy, shipped by New York to the Indianapolis Club, is somewhat surprising in view of the fact that the National prexy had given the impression that he was sweet on the player.

Boasting wins over Shenandoah and Baltimore University in its starts to date this season, George Washington will be hot after a victory over the Middies. The Colonials, pleased at their showing on the gridiron against-Navy the past Fall, are keen to also make a good showing against the Middies on the hardwood. For both George Washington and Navy the game will mark resumption of competition following the holidays. The Middies won _all of their first three games last month. Forrest Burgess and either Fred Mul vey or Johnny Fenlon will start as for: wards for George Washington. Mulvey, however, may be at center. If he is not Wayne Chambers will be found holding down the pivot post. Jack Conner and Otts Zahn will be at the guards. OACH BURTON- SHIPLEY of the Old Liners still was debating today as to whom he would start against Gallaudet. However, it is likely that Jack Norris will be at center, Bozey Berger and Shorty Chalmers will be the forwards and Bus Pitzer and Ed Ronkin the | guards. This is the way Shipley began a practice scrimmage last night. It is possible, though, that Berger may be at_center, with Chalmers and Norris or Bob Wilson as the forwards and Pitzer and Ronkin in the guard positions. Charlie May, guard, who is ailing at present, and Fred guard, are the other leading players of the team and make up the eight Ship- ley will take to Lexington, Va. for the Southern Conference games with V. M. 1. and Washington and Lee Friday and Saturday. Skippy Faber and Bill Luney, who played at Eastern and Western, respec- | %0 17. ticely, are on the squad at present, but neither has had previous varsity ex- perience. Both are juniors and Luney was on the Old Line freshman squad. Faber did not play as a yearling. Both are suffering from sore feet. Bob Gaylor, guard and center, who was the leading scorer last season, who announced his intention of quitting school, did not put in appearance yes- terday with the opening of classes fol- lowing the Christmas holidays. He has not been with the squad since last | Tuesday. Gaylor's going and the injury to Pat | Rooney, along with the graduation of Julie Radice, Al Heagy, Bill Evans, Pred | Hetzel and George Madigan, brought the loss of last season’s letter men up to_seven. Berger, Chalmers, Ronkin, No:tis and May are the letter men remaiaing. Gallaudet, which has won two games and lost two, will show improvement over recent exhibitions in the Maryland game if intensive drilling means any- thing, Despite their easy win over Strayer's Saturday night, the Blues were not impressive, and Coach Krug has been busy polishing the squad both on offense and defense. Strayer and “Columbus University quints will come to grips tonight in a | Washington Collegiate Conference title |game on the Central High court at 9 o'clock. Columbus also has an engagement to- morrow night on the Central floor at the same time. The Crimson will en- tertain the fast Shepherd College quint, which easily defeated the Crimson earlier in the season at Shepherdstown. Columbus, however, will have players at | |hand tomorrow night who were not on | the job at Shepherdstown and hope to | make a stronger showing. Georgetown and Catholic University court squads were to resume practice today following the holidays. The Hoyas will not play until January 13, when they meet Johns Hopkins at Baltimore, but the Cardinals have an engagement ;vlt: Geneva Saturday night at Brook- and. Both the G. U. and C. U. squads were due to get new blood today. Johnny Bozek, who made a brilliant record in basket ball with Gonzaga, but who has | not been allowed to play previously for the Hoyas, was listed to report to Coach Johnny Colrick, while the C. U. squad figured to have back little Mike Ma- rucel, who played on the team Ilas season, but been unable to get i action so far this season because of a | back ailment.

HICAGO, January 6.—Some idea of Purdue’s chance of retain- | ing the Western Conference | basket ball championship wil | be determined tonight at Ann Arbor, where the Boilermakers tackle Michi- gan's “dark horse” entrant. The Wolverines are hoping that his- tory will repeat itself—but in reverse. A year ago Michigan, the defending champion, opened its season at Purdue and took a 23-t0-19 beating. Wisconsin today was the leader of the race by virtue of its victory last night over Illinois in the inaugural of the Big Ten season. The Badgers’ man- to-man defense was just a little tighter than Illinois’ and they gained a 12-to-9 decision. Wisconsin scored three times from the fleld to twice for the Illini. Iowa was giten a terrific battle by Drake last night, but squirmed out with a 21-t0-20 victory, gaining an even | break in its four-game practice season. Minnesota made a sweep of its five- game set by defeating Iowa State, 29 Chicago and Ohio State also will play tonight, but against non-conference op- ponents. The Maroons, showing promise of being much improved over last sea- son, will meet Marquette at Milwaukee. Marquette, playing on its own floor, was favored, largely because of a 16-to-14 victory over Wisconsin two weeks ago. Ohio will meet Notre Dame at South Bend. Notre Dame lost two games to Northwestern and one to Purdue, but has improved and will give the Buck- eyes a battle.
