OR the first time since the branch of the Amateur Ath- letic Union a determined | with such response that it seems | reasonable to believe that within the year a strong org:ization should be effected. Since the co-operative agree- ment reached between the A. A. U. and National Collegiate Athletic Association two months ago, the ~~ colleges and universities have be- gun to work with the former or- ganization and a field, especially locally, is thus opened that should aid materially in the effort to widen and strengthen the scope of work in building up amateur athletics, especially track. ‘The National A. A. U, of which the District of Columbia Association of the | Amateur Athlesic Union is a branch, is making a great effort throughout the Nation to get in the best possibl: shape to play a successful part in the 1932 Olympics, to be held in this country at Los Angeles. ‘The real effort being made here to place the organization on a gocd foot- ing is a part of this Nation-wi ment. The new agreement A A U and the N.C. A. A. is g a big impulse to activities along line, as the colleges now are working more in accord with the club body than they ever did prior to that. O'Reilly Hard at Work. Right here in Washington it is a college man who heads the A. A. U. o ganization, John D. O'Reilly, George town track coach, and he is looking in no small measure to college men here to give him support. For three or four months O'Reilly has been giving a good deal of time to the work and has been making headway, though the process of building here, naturally, will be some- ‘what slow. Of the situation, O'Reilly says: “We are beginning to see daylight in our work here to build a good branch of the A. A. U.

HICAGO, January 20.—North- western's hopes of a Big Ten basket ball championship flamed to a new high peak today while those of Wisconsin, Michigan and Iows flickered and died. Shattering a 12-year-old jinx in the course of their rapid stride toward the | title, the Wildcats forged to the front | in the race last night at Ann Arbor by defeat'ng Michigan, 26 to 21, after a hard fight. The victory, Northwestern's first on Michigan's flocr since 1919, gave the Wildeats a one- e e over Chicago, the only ‘undefeated team in _the e, 1t was Northwestern's third straight triumph.

With the score knotted at 21 points and eight minutes to play, Reiff and his mates held Michigan without a point while they addea nve. The de- feat virtually eliminated Michigan from the race as it was their third in five games. ‘Wisconsin, one of the perennial cham- pionship threats, also joined Michigan's class by taking a whipping from Min- nesota, 28 to 26, last night at Minne- apolis. The game was ciose all the way, but the husky Gophers jumped into the lead during the second half and suc- w?iutully repelled a desperate Wisconsin rally. It was Minnesota’s second victory in thre: games and Wisconsin's third de- feat in five. Capt. Harry Schoening seored 14 points for the Gophers, while Capt. John Paul and Douglas Nelson looped 9 and 8, respectively, for the Badgers. Indiana in Third Place. Indiana took third place by defeat- ing Iowa, 28 to 20, in & see-saw battle at Iowa City.

Early in the contest two C. U. players had been removed because they evid-ntly had some kind of an hallucination that they were engaged in a boxing match with their opponents and proc-eded to act accordingly. Then a little later from a melee in the center of the floor emerged an American U. playr with a big Catholic U. guard after him. Around the floor they went for a couple of turns, the American University man evidently believing in a paraphras: of an old saying, “’tis better to run and play some more.” The Brooklander ‘wanted to do real battle but the object of his wrath evid-ntly decided to mak= the competition a foot race instead of one with fists. And in that respect the A. U. man was victor It was something like the Irishman, who when challenged to a duel by Englishman, availed himself of the pre- rogative of the challenged and decided that the fight should be at 12 paces and that the weapons would be a peck of Irish potatoes for each man. Englishman stood no more chance of winning that than the C. U. man did the foot race, especially when Johnny Oliver, C. U. forward, decided it was about time to intervene to save his ammate from too humilitating a de- eat. It was plainly evident that the C. U. man just could not catch up, and as the stands began to realize it they just roared with amusement. Noth- ing else could have been staged to so tickle their funny bones. and then 2midst the uproarious laughter Oliver decided he would stand no longer for his teammate heing the object of such merriment. 80 he closed in and made mech a flying tackle as would r-evented a lot of touchdowns had oth C U. men made them as well last Fall. Then the idea entered the referec's head, himself a Catholic University man, that he could no longer run the risk of again having a student of his alma mater so decisively and humiliat- ingly outrun and, for fear that th~ man| whose efforts had bzen so suddenly | terminated by Oliver's tackle might| challenge again, he respectfully and with great sympathetic regard for the de- feated one's feeline, insisted that the young man svend the remainder of the evening on the bench in comnany with the two young men who previously had been able to got close encugh to th cwponents. but whose manner of com- retition did not come within the regu- la‘ions. | ‘Th basket ball game ftself? Oh, yes, | that was finished, but with the three best C. U. men having had reached for them the decision that it would be | better for all concerned if they en- | joyed the game as spectators, there | ‘was not much to it.

For two rounds Heeney certainly had all the better of the going. Had Jack Dempsey, the third man in the ring, been the one who trotted across to Baer's corner and socked him fairly on the jaw, as Heeney did in the first 10 seconds of the match, Max's friend’s would have been standing around ray- ing, “Doesn’t he look natural?” The second thing demonstrated by bout was the truth of the old adage, “Too many cooks spoll the | broth.” Under the complicated rules |of the New York Boxing Commissicn the work which used to be done by a referee now is split among a coupls of Judges, an official timekeeper, & knock- down timekeeper, deputies, a cominis- sioner or two and, for all 1 know, the | head usher and the program boys. ‘The referee is pretty much of a fig- urehead. commission picks a man | supposed to be competent and then re- | fuses to let him use his judgment or his | sense of what is fitting under circum- stances which may arise.

I believe that the refcree should be the court of last appeal and that he should have had authority to order the fighters to con- tinue. The customers had paid their money to see a boxing match; not to watch anybody make a mistake in counting 10. As Lionel Atwill, the actor, said aft- erward, whatever else it was, it cer- tainly was miserable showmanship. It may, of course, prove to be a good thing for Heeney. He was paid his full percentags and may get another bout out of it. Dempsey takes his refereeing seriously and was much disturbed at the outcome of the match. He didn't see any other thing he could have done, under the New York rules. I think that Jack enjoys going around the country and being warmly received in all quarters. He is especially fond of Hartford, where he tells me he always has 1m.d & fine time and found “grand people.” N barring Paulino, Carnera and others in disfavor with the commission from Madison Square Garden, the commissioners appear to believe they are upholding their dignity. Just how their dignity could be injured by per- | mitting these persons to witness some bout with which they have nothing to do is hard to understand. Petty spite never did much for anybody.
