cARmNm_—S’_EV[NT Basket Ball, Bowling Teams Of Alexandria in §3tride Now BIG AID T0 TRACK Coach Griffith’s Efforts of Last Three Years Now i %, Getting Results. BY H. C. BYRD. RD from Annapolis this morning brought infor- mation that the whole Naval Academy track squad would come here to take part in the Catholic University indoor meet early in March. And this, coupled with the promise of a few days ago of Virginia to send {ts squad, means a gocd deal more for the Brooklanders’ meet than it would ordinarily seem to. With these two squads entered, it is likely that all colleges in this immediate section, with the probable exception of Georgetown, will be represented, with the result that C. U. probably will put on the biggest indoor meet held here in years. Navy's participation in any games means a lot. Few teams as attractive and none more attractive. A complete list of entries as a team from & school like Navy creates far greater interest among students and the gen- eral public, makes much keener competi- tion, and adds prestige to the meet itself. The Catholic University au-| thorities could have done nothing that | ‘would add more to their games nor that | tend more to help carry them to the position of real importance in the local program of Winter sports. Dorsey Griffith, coach of track at €. U, and the man who has been work- ing hard for the last three years to| build up the sport there, seems in a | way to get somewhere. This year | e has a schedule of meets that is longer than any former C. U. teams | have had, and far better. That in itself should help a lot in creating in- terest in track athletics, and now in establishing his indoor meet on such a basis that it attracts schools like the Navy he 1s going a big step further. The_revival of the indoor meet last year filled a great need among local athletes. For yvears no set of games has been held here, not since Convention Hall was taken over for bowling alleys, and_indoor track athletics has lan- guished Jargely because of that. The meet, in 1930 did not attract a whole Iot of attention, but is attracting much more this Winter and in all probability will grow to be one of the big features of the indoor season. EORGETOWN lost twice in New | York Saturday night in what, in | athictic vernacular, are termed | heart-breaking def ats. The Blue and Gray relay four ran a great race, but was nosed out by Holy Cross, and the basket ball team s beaten by New York University, generally regard-d’ as the leading college team in th east, by only 3 ponts. In both compctitions Georgetown teams did well enough to win und‘r ordinary circumstances, and the cne ratisfaction that remains after losing that way is in the fact that there 18 loss neither of self-confidence nor of | prestige. Jimmy Driver, Virginia's athletic di- | Tector, must hav> known something of | what he was talking about last wecek, when he said that boxing was coming to | the front as the greatest Winter sport. | At least, he knew exactly what he wes | saying as it relat'd to his own institu- | tion, as in Virginia’s opening match Saturday night, with Virginia Polytech- nic Institute as its opponent, the biggest crowd that ever gathered in the gym- nasium there to watch an indoor event was pres'nt. Virginia won the match | with four victorles against three. XPERIMENTS with coachless col- lege teams apparently do not | work so well. At least, not ‘at | Harvard. And, food for thought. it | seems that the students themselves | rose up against the scheme. Last year Harvard tried out the proposition of | baving its base ball squad go through | the season with the coach sufficiently | removed from the scene that he could not direct the team. Now Harvard | announces that the scheme did not | work so well. At least, not at t. During the coming Spring the Crimson coach is to go back on the bench to take care of his men and see that his team plays as good ball as it 15 capable of playing. Yale, which also tried the same thing last season, states that it will continue the experiment nt least for this year. One Harvard player advanced a rather unusual argument against keep- ing coaches off the bench. He said, in substance, that the players have to go | to classes all day and have only the two-hour recreation perjod in the after- noon to think about base ball: that they cannot afford to be worrying dur- | ing class hours about how to run the ball team during the recreation period, and that the thing to do is to bring | the coach back on the bench and let | h'm do the worrying. | Southern colleges _and _universities | will be later this year in picking their officials for foot ball games next Fall than in many seasons. Under a new system of handling officials for South- ern Conference games. the assignments will not be made until the first week in March, when the conference basket ball tournamert is held at Atlanta.

By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, January 26—Otto Reiselt, fiery-tempered artist from Philadelphia, held undis- puted possession of first place today in the hard tussle for the world three-cushion billiard champlonship with the only perfect record in the week-old tournament. The Philadelphian, who lost the title in 1928, loafed into exclusive possession of the leadership yesterday cn the strength of four victories as two Chi- cagoans, Allen Hall and Arthur Thurn- blad, received their first setbacks. Thurnblad lost his first game in five starts, 50 to 49, to the defending cham- pion, Johnny Layton of Sedalia, Mo., in a memorable battle, while Hall suffered his first defeat in four matches, 50 to 47, at the hands of the veteran Tiff Dentcn of Kansas City. Layton’s victory sent him into a tie for second place with Thurnblad with a record of four victories and one defeat, while Hall dropped to fourth, Match Well Contested. The Layton-Thurnblad match was one of the most_exciting in the tourn: ment history. Laytog opened up w a run of eight and led by a com- fortable margin of 20 to 14 in the twenty-second inning. Thurnblad then staged a sensational comeback. Stop- ping Layton with a great safety game, he kept clicking off points until he gained the lead, 38 to 37, in the thirty- fourth inning. By a slender margin of a point or two, Thurnblad held his lead until Layton tied it again at 49-all in the forty-seventh inning. Thurnblad, nervous under the strain, had three sasy chances to score the winning point, but missed. Layton missed his first two opportunities, but connected with his third in the fiftieth inning. Layton's high run was eight, Thurnbiad’s seven. Denton's victory, his second in five matches, was one of the big surprises of the tournament. Denton took the lead after the sixteenth inning and held it, although Hall came close. The match ended in the fifty-third inning when Denton made a pretty cross- table shot. In a match for cellar honors, Hess Jacobs of St. Louis defeated Charles Jordan of Los Angeles, 50 to 49, in 70 innings. The defeat shoved Jordan. loser of five straight matches, into the cellar. It was Jacobs' first victory in five matches. Schedule Tonight.

NOTE that some educators are going into the foot ball rules business. The fact that few of them ever played varsity foot ball permits them to approach the subject with an open mind. Among other things, I believe that some of them favor the abolition of the forward pass. This certainly would suit your Uncle Gil Dobie, up above Cayuga’s watcrs. I have heard such students of the game as Zuppke and Warner maintain that, if the forward pass were eliminated, Mr. Dobie would chase any opposing team right off the foot ball field and down into South America. The forward pass is th> only thing which gives the little fellow a chance against the big fellow. The educators say that the little fellow should pick somebody his own size, and they prob- ably are right. Th> pass is not a complicated play. What is complicated, in this day and generation, is line play; blocking, feint- ing, checking, charging. This must be done in perfect time with the backs. thos: are the things which take prac- tice and more practice, Interest Would Go. ITH the forward pass abolished and no means at hand to open the defense, fool ball would re- turn to the close, plunging game of years ago. One thing would be accom- plished b® throwing out the pass. It would make the game less interesting and perhaps diminish the gate re- ceipts and so remove some of the over- emphasis. They might take a first step by de- claring the ball dead at the point where the receiver of a pass caught it. But, if I were on the governing board of professional foot ball, I'd simplify the rules by permitting a player to run with any loose ball on which he could get his hands. That would mean more thrills for the customers, and the pros are pald to take chances. The truth of the matter is that pro- fessional foot ball is steadily increasing in general popularity and, if the edu- cators will just sit still and remain calm for a while, the day may come when they will not have to worry any more concerning overemphasis in college foot ball ::?l“ they do now about college Foot ball is, at. most colleges, & mat- ter of 10 weeks out of 52. Who keens it alive the other 42 weeks? Not the comparatively few boys who play on college squads. Most of them are oc- cupied with other sports. Too Much Oratory. 'T IS the graduates’ associations, the coaches’ associations, the officials’ associations and, perhaps more than all, the faculty associations, which fill the newspapers with foot ball in the off season, which make the game ap- pear vastly more important than it is. Foot ball in the colleges has come to be three months of play and nine months of oratory. I believe that each college is respon- sible for its own eligibility rules. If a college wishes to limit its teams to bona fide students. well and good. If it wishes to hire a foot ball team, that's its business. The remedy is simple, Stick to your own set. Let those who deal from the bottom of the d“kcflh’ together and guard their own hands. If some alumnus wishes to pay the way of a fine athlete through college. why should there be any objection? Remember, that boy must pass the Committee on Admissions on his own | personality; he must pass the entrance | examinations; he must keep above a {certain mark in his studies; he must | stay in college a year before he is eli- gible for a varsity team. If he gets in and stays in on any other basis, the blame is squarely up to the coll administration. If the ad- ministration is honest, the boy must be an honest student. No “tramp athlete” can play on team ° without connivance faculty. (Conyrisht, 1931 by Nerth American News- paper Alllance.)

North- the best Slush Cant’ Halt This Ski Jumper ARY, Ind, January 26 (#)— Springlike weather can shorten Casper Oimen’s jumps, but it can't stop him from winning ski tournaments.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. RINCETON and Harvard au- P thorities will not rush to follow the mandate of the student bodies of the two universities in favor of a resump- tion of athletic relationship. None the less, official moves in that di- rection in a dignified manner and after a lapse of time consonant with official dignity may confi- dently be expected. Since Princeton broke with Harvard, the first authoritative offer of pour parler must naturally come from Nas- sau. And it will be surprising if it does not come in good time. Harvard and Princeton could have an exceedingly pleasant relationship ex- clusive of foot ball. In rowing the Crimson used to come to Princeton and spend the Easter vacation practicing on Lake Carnegie, which is invested with milder early Spring temperatures than the Charles River. Dual track meets went forward amiably and the annual base ball games held a lot of fire and drew well. Foot ball is not by any means necessary to the establishment of a very satisfactory athletic calendar between Cambridge and old Nasau. Foot Ball Might Follow. And yet a renewal of foot ball rela- tionship—in November, too—might very easily result from the meeting of Har- vard and Princeton in other sports. The complication here is that Har- vard will arrange no schedule that does not involve her playing her final game with Yale. Princeton recognize: this point and finds no fault with it. In an informal discussion a year between Dr. Kennedy, chairman of :fi: Princeton Athletic Board, and Bill Bingham, Harvard’s graduate manager of athletics, the Princeton representa- tive took up this last game question. He wrote out a five-year schedule in- volving Yale, Harvard and Princeton, in which Harvard always played Y last; at the same time the game wi not in every year the last game of the 't‘hfligl'r)'l"e" neu‘lon. In other e last game in certain Was played by Yale and Prmuwz.!:' other years by Yale and Harvard. But al- le;.ednotm‘;tur“’hn' the schedule worl out, Harvard's concluding was with Yale. s Harvard Interested. Bingham was very much interested, and there the matter dropped. Now & complication within a complication as regards Yale-Harvard-Princeton foot ball is the fact that Yale must play Princeton and Harvard on succeeding Saturdays and Princeton must play Harvard and Yale in the same way if the “Big Three” are to b: united in foot ball under the former system. Dr. Kennedy's schedule took care of that; he so arranged that successive Saturday games were played by the three elevens ternately year after year. Whether. Harvard would abandon this advantage would depend very largely upon Yale's attitude, and it is known that the Elis are getting fed up on being thrown into g:me against Harvard one week after a grueling Princeton contest. But that is a point that could be ironed out if the desire to have it so | were genuine. An interesting fact is that West Point’s arrangement with vard for November games in the next four years contains an under- standing that after next year the Army game could be shot into October in- stead of being played in November. Whether this stipulation was made with reference to a ible restoration of foot ball relationship with Princeton the writer cannot say. As an opening wedge, the Crimson and old Nassau ;ll.ly soon play an October foot ball me.
