U. : Rockne Backs Spring Foot Ball ALL OTHERS PLAY DURING WEEK END Gallaudet Visits American U. Tonight—Maryland and G. W. Are Away. BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN is the only local college without a basket ball game this week end. The Blue and Gray has not played since the holidays, and will not reopen its schedule until next Tuesday, when it journeys to Baltimore to meet Johns Hopkins. After that the Blue and Gray has as full a list as the other schools. Four of the games listed tonight and tomorrow take place on foreign floors, Catholic University and American U. having the only contests at home. The Brooklanders entertain Geneva Col- lege, usually represented by a strong quint, tomorrow, and American Uni- versity meets Gallaudet tonight. The defeat sustained by the C. U. five last night by a supposedly weaker combination takes the edge off its game, but a good deal of partisan in- terest is likely to make the American U.-Gallaudet game attractive, irrespec- tive of the outcome. George Washington and Maryland ¥hy their first games away tonight, the former against Villanova and the latter with Virginia Military Institute. Both the local fives are pretty sure to have hard games, although both would seem to have a chance to win. Maryland ly has a little better chance for victory than G. W., although the re- verse of that may turn out to be the Fesults Gallaudet after its game with Ameri- ean U. tonight goes back home to rest for another setto tomorrow night, on its own floor. The Kendall Greeners hook up with Columbus University in gevl‘rn:hérg Blm:h o;‘the week, the l?“‘ n wi aryland at College Park Wednesday. Catholic U.s game with Geneva is likely to be a good exhibition of court play, provided the Brooklanders meas- ure up to a high enough standard to ive the invaders a real battle. The ‘ennsylvanians may be depended on to put up quite a fight in any branch of sport, and basket ball is one of the main games in that section. George Washington and Maryland continue away from home, with games at Drexel and Washingtcn and Lee. The Colonials probably will not face as hard opposition against Drexel as against Villanova. This statement, though, hardly is based on much more than a guess and Drexel.actusdly-may prove a tougher foe than Villanova. Maryland in meeting with Washing- and Lee may have a much more difficult evening than against the Ca- dets tonight. The fact that Williams is in Washington and Lee's line-up is almost enough in itself to warrant this lflfieflh&;le!r, as V. M.

The score was 21 to 19. Instead of taking the floor with a more or less tacit understanding that they were out to make a fine evening for C. U., the Benjamin Franklin boys started right in as if they were going to give the Brooklanders the time of their lives, and did. The winning team Jed most of the way and had Catholic University _struggling _desperately to stem a tide it had neither the power nor the capacity to make headway against.

No doubt Graduate Man- | ager Murphy has been depending on West Virginia to fill the present open | spot, and it was understood from both Georgetown and West Virginia author- | ities that the date had just about been agreed on and the game would be played. Incidentally, the game was announced in the Georgetown schedule at 7 o'clock last Saturday eveninz. cnd later was taken out. It is not kno ether or not West Virginia has scheduled | another game for that date, and Georgetown has said nothing about any | other game to which it is giving con- sideration. i It may be that Georgetown, following suit of some of the Western Confer- ence schools and Cornell, may leave the date permanently open. Many schools seem now to perfer not to play between exceptionally hard games on its schedule, holding the opinion that no game at all is better than a game in which very little opposition would | be met. - | STATEMENT from Washington and | Lee that its foot ball receipts for | 1930 fell 40 per cent below 1929 indicates about the worst reaction known to have been suffered financially in college athletics. That means that the Generals' income for the year is cut nearly in half, because the income from othef sports is more or less negligible. Any school less fortunately situated ‘Washington and Lee in its finances would find itself in great difficulties. However, Dick Smith, graduate man- of athletics, is too able a man in fi:’m to run from one year to another without some reserve or without bank- ing arrangements that should enable him to tide over any kind of a tempo- Tary n, T A PLAY AT SILVER SPRING.

Against Varsity Grid Coach Yale Alumni Weekly, in Editorial, Urges Mentor for Freshman Squad Only. EW HAVEN, January 9 (#).— The Yale Alumni Weekly, in an editorial published to- day, urges abolition of paid foot ball coaches except for fresh- man teams. “In foot ball,” the editorial says, “a practicable plan would be to have the freshman team under a com- petent, salaried year-round coach, attached to the university, who would develop incoming material each year to go on later to the up- per class, interhouse teams and into the varsity eleven. “Varsity foot ball would be in the sole hands of its .

HYATTSVILLE, Md., January 9.— Hyattsville High School and Mount Rainier Junior High have agreed to meet, in a three-game basket ball series | for Prince Georges County laurels. Laurel High is said to be planning ac- tivity in besket ball, and it will be given | & chance to compete for the honors if it desires. Heretofore Hyattsville High annually has represented the county in the State- wide championship series. Following the recent decisive defeat at the hands of Tech High the Hyatts- ville team likely will present a changed line-up against St. John's of Washing- ton next Friday. Coach Stanleigh Jenkins today said that several who have been holding down regular positions in recent games have by no means clinched their posts. Among reserve members of the squad Stevens, center or forward; Warren Kid- well and Harold Brown, forwards; Bob Newell, center; Coleman Headley and Carleton Heyser, guards. LEGION NINES TO MEET.

TRID H 8l OF VETERANS | Williams, Cox and Barasch on Team That Will Face Mary- land Tomorrow Night. LEXINGTON, Va, January 9.— Washington and Lee’s basket ball team opens its 1931 Southern Conference season here tomorrow night by meet- ing the University of Maryland. It will be the second Maryland team faced in as many days as tonight the Generals tackle St. Jobn's of Annapolis, while Virginia Military In- stitute entertained the Old Liners. Last_season the Generals beat Mary- land, 29-25, at College Park and won, 36-21, here. In their first game against the Shawnee Club of Lynchburg, Wash- ington and Lee showed greenness, but practice sessions since have smoothed out the rough spots in the attack. Coach Ray Ellerman has given over most of his time to a development of the shift and pivot. | _Three veterans — Williams, center; Cox and Barasch, forwards—are near- |ing top form. Ellerman’s problem is to find a working guard combination from the many aspirants for the jobs. Holbrook and Burke size up as one combination, with Cross, Martin and Pllley as close seconds.

BY WALTER TRUMBULL. | K been both, thinks that it requires more work to be a foot ball coach than a professor. “If 1 flunk half my class as a | professor,” he says, “nothing hap- pens to me. But, if I flunk half my foot ball squad, I flunk with | them.” Rockne agrees with all of Bill Roper's suggestions except the one concerning Spring practice. He sees no reason why boys who wish to kick a foot ball around 0 50, “At Notre Dame,” says Rockne, “wi have 300 men out for Spring practice. There is no publicity, no crowds, no gate receipts, no games with outside teams—none of the things to which ob- Jjection has been made as tending to overemphasis. “The boys who play base ball, go in for track or practice other forms of ath- letics never come out for Spring foot ball. Boys who are behind in their studies don’t come out. There is no | compulsion 2bout Spring foot ball, but | when we are through with it a lot of | the players want to keep on. We don't | permit it. “We find at Notre Dame that the time boys fall behind in their studies is when there is no sport going on. A | | boy is a restless animal. Instead of | | staying on the campus, he goes some- | where to play pool. Then he stays out | to dinner. ~When he gets back he | doesn’t feel like studying. December is our worst month. There is nothing go- | ing on, no routine to keep the men in | line. I lost a lot of good foot ball men | in_ these last few weeks, because they | fell behind in their school work. Good for Idle Boys. “Foot ball, for boys who have nothing | else to do, is a fine thing in the Spring. | It keeps them occupled in a sane, | healthy manner, I know that Harvard has 200 or 300 men out in the Spring. If Princeton can get only 30 men out, that would seem to be Princeton’s fault. | At Notre Dame the boys form elevens round-robin tournaments. The | senjors, who are through with foot ball, coach.

Rockne says that while many attacks are based on power and deception Notre pends- urmn deception and speed. .He admits t timing, a change of pace, has much to do with it. The backs have one-second and two-second counts, half spinners and full spinners, t end differently. Much of Notre | Dame’s strength this season was to the | short side. It is Rockne's belief that future im- | provement in foot ball will be along the | line of balanced attack. He says that | the perfect attacking team might have | Gil Dobie's tackle play, Northwestern’s | |plunge into the line, Southern Cali- | fornia’s end run and Southern Metho- | dist's passing attack. Calls Savoldi Best. He admits that the Notre Dame team of this year had a bit of all of these things, and with Savoldi added power to speed. Savoldi he calls the best at- tacking fullback he ever saw. Rockne also says that Culver was the most underestimated lineman in the game. I told him that Howard Jones never | underestimated Culver. A couple of weeks before Notre Dame played South- ern California Howard Jones wrote me that Culver was of all-American caliber. Rockne naturally takes a pride in this year’s team, but he will not say that it was any better team than his 1920 outfit or the team which had Adam Walsh and the four horsemen. He merely states that this year's team was tl; good as any other, and let's it go at at. He still likes that four-horsemen team, for its great spirit. This year's team he praises for its unity. He says he never saw a team on which the players liked each other as well and stuck as close together. They were one for all and all for one. Carnegie is named by Rockne as prob- ably the toughest opponent Notre Dame met this season. He says the Carnegie men played foot ball for all there was in it. He also describes Northwestern as a big, rugged team, with fine tackles and backs and a lot of power. (Copyright, 1931.) WILL PLAY VOLLEY BALL. Twelfth Street Y. M. C.

BY AVERY BRUNDAGE, President Amateur Athletic Union. HICAGO, January 9 (#).—Ama- teur sport each year gains a more important place in our scheme of things here in the United States. The year 1930, despite the condition |of business in general, has proved no exception, and during the past 12 months amateur sport has thrived as never before. This applies not only to the schools and colleges, but also to in- dustrial organizations, playgrounds, ath- letic clubs, both large and small; fra~ ternal orders and other groups. Many Record Performances. During the year many stellar per- formances were recorded. In track and accepted 71 new world and national records, some of the most noteworthy being Frank Wykoff's 100-yard record of 92-5 seconds, Paul Jessup’s remark- able discus throw of 169 feet 8% Inches and James De Mer’s javelin throw rec- ord of 222 feet 63 inches. Men were not alone in the record breaking. At the women’s national champlonships at Tex., five world records were broken, and perhaps the most remarkable individual athletic | performance of th rec- 100 ords for standard distances from lays which start in the same manner | yards to 1 mile, inclusive. One of the most interesting ) events of the year was the mm-m track and field games held in last August between the combined ath- letic_forces of 10 countries representing the British Empire and a team of Amer- ican champions. This was the first large track meet ever held outdoors at The big FLO Amateur Sport Had Greatest Year in 1930, Says Brundage night. The Americans defeated the in- vaders and reaffirmed their supremacy on track gnd field, although our per- formances'on. the track were not nearly so0_satisfactory as they might have been. Interest in amateur boxing, wrestling, basket ball, hand ball, gymnastics, weight lifting and the other sports un- der the jurisdiction of the Amateur Athletic Union is growing in a most healthy fashion, and with the stimulus provided by the proximity of the tenth Olympic games, scheduled for Los Ane geles in 1932, we can reasonably ex- pect the coming year to be the greatest thus far in the history of American sport. The inauguration of the Sullivan Memorial Award by the Amateur Ath- letic Union and the selection of Bobby Jones from more than 150 nominees as the “amateur whose ability and character combined have had the gre est influence during the year in ad- vancing the standards of sportsman- ship” is worthy of note.
