'HELPED GRIDMAN AS HE WOULD SON, SAYS SASSE Army Coach Declares He Merely Aided Goff in Ob- on How He Might t Appointment. Army Athletic Association, over whom | we have no control, interest themselves |in getting an appointment for a player. |1 have made a careful investigation of EW YORK, January 29.—Maj. Ralph S2sse, coach of the Army foot ball team, talked freely here concerning the charge of recruiting at West Point made by the Evening Bulletin of Providence in a| copyrighted article which involved him. He denied emphatically that he had had any thought of proselyting or that he had made any effort to get an appointment for Kenneth Goff, the Rhode Island State College foot ball player. He admitted frankly, however, that he had helped Cadet Carroll get the information he was seeking as to ways of getting an appointment. Maj. Sasse said: “I was on leave of absence until January 12 and on_my return to West Point Cadet Paul Car- roll, an assistant second-year foot ball manager, came to me and told of the desire of his former classmate at Rhode Island State, a boy named Kenneth Gofl, to get an appointment to the Military Academy. I told him that it was_impossible for any one at the Poirt to give any assistance and that the only thing Goff could do was to write to the Congressman of his own district. Tempest in Teapot. “I looked up the record for him and found that there was no vacancy in Goff’s district. 1 then gave him the names of several other Congressmen in Massachusetts who would have va- cancies and might be willing to help him. “I have had absolutely no corre- the whole matter and find, as Maj. Sasse had said, that he helped Cadet Carroll in getting the information wanted about getting his former class- mate an appointment, but the letters I have just seen indicate clearly that the correspondence between the two boys was perfectly natural and cannot in any way be fairly construed as an effort to proselyte. “Wrightson has been a member of the Army Athletic Association since 1920, when veterans were permitted to join. His only connection with the Army was during the war, when he was a private in the 73d Infantry There are no officers at West Point who knew Wrightson during his military career. “When I interviewed Cadet Carroll yesterday, he showed me a letter he had Jjust received from Goff, dated January 26, in which the boy again expressed his desire to enter the Military Acad- emy. I believe the case recolves itself into boyish enthusiasm and admiration for his school, together with the efforts of civilian to help a deserving boy get & military education.” Letters Published. As a follow-up of the charges made on Tuesday, the Evening Bulletin of Providence published ' today photo- static copies of letters from Cadet Car- roll to Goff containing what the former said were Maj. Sasse's suggestions for getting an appointment and an accom- panying letter which Carroll said Maj. Sasse dictated for Goff to send to three Congressmen. The letter said, among other things: D. C.

HOLDS ‘OUTSIDERS' INJURE FOOT BALL Alumni and “Business Men” Only Real Trouble, Says Oglethorpe Head. BY DILLON GRAHAM. TLANTA, January 29 (). — The trouble with foct ball is a vicious system of management rather than the granting of scholarships, in the opinion of Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, president of Ogle- thorpe University. “The fault lies in the vicious system of allowing alumni, students and ‘cut- side business men’ to operate and con- trol the athletic programs. Consequent lack of interest in and authority over athletics by the college faculties is at the bottom of all so-called evils of the game,” Dr. Jacobs believes. “These scho-ls would not consider turning over the operation of their chemistry department to students and alumni, but, evidently, think nothing of placing one of the most important and most popular departments in their hands. Must Be Controlled. “The department of physical culture, including _intercollegiate and _intra- mural sports, should come under the faculties, the same as any other class or subject, with the coach having direct supervision.” Dr. Jacobs favors the awarding of self-help scholarships to students, ath- letes or non-athletes who need aid to “I don't hesitate to cfler a scholar- ship to a good violinist to study here and play in our orchestra, so why the objection to making the same proposi- tion to the athlete?” he says. “Any other attitude in the matter is hypo- critical. If this is subsidiaticn, you can say Oglethorpe University is in favor of it “A college athlete receiving help chould not be regarded as a professional He is as clean an amateur as any. He receives less for his participation than the so-called amateur in golf. tennis and other sports not connected with col- legiate sport.” Sees No Overemphasis. Dr. Jacobs says there is no such thing as_overemphasis in foot ball. “It may be that cther departments are underemphasized, but certainly the physical culture division is worth all the attention given to it. An athlete gives less time to his game than to any single subject of his college course. “The professors and faculties are at fault in cases of students who are allowed to play regardless of their scholastic standing. A professor should adhere strictly to the scholastic require- ments in passing or failing an athlete. If such a course were adopted univer- sally the ‘tramp athlete’ would quickly pass out.” KENDALL SEXTET WINS.

EWARK, N. J,, January 29.—The band played “The Star Span- gled Banner” and then Ray Conger stepped out and won the first international race of the in- door track season, defeating Dr. Paul Martin of Switzerland. The band played the Swiss national anthem, too, at the Newark A. C. track games last night, but it takes more than a song to win a foot race from the boyish-looking stars of the Illinois Ath- letic Club, America’s premier middle- distance runner. Dr. Martin, making his first appear- ance of the Winter and only off the boat a little more than a week, made a gritty effort to stay with Conger and beat him to the tape in the 1,000-yard struggle, as he did three out of four times they met last Winter, but he didn't have the stamina of his frail- appearing rival. Conger, breaking his custom, jumped into the lead right at the start, t Prank Nordell, husky Philadelphia boy, who is a freshman at New York Univer- sity, and Martin, who were in the No. 1 end No. 2 lanes. Martin was close at his heels and they held that posi- tion until the fifth lap, with Nordell and James Kennedy of the Newark A. C., the other starter, behind them. Nordell Speeds Up. Then Nordell decided the pace was a little slow and went around Conger, carrying Martin along with him. Ap- varently content to run his own race, Conger stayed back in third place, two or three vards behind the little Swiss' flying heels. When the gun sounded for the final lap, however, Conger called on his tamous finishing kick and went around them as if they were tied to a post. Nordell and Martin fought on grimly, but the Illinois fiyer finished five yards in front. Nordell had a similar margin over Martin. The international race was the fea- ture of the opening games of the “major league” track season, which saw Gus Moore, Negro star of the Brooklyn barriers, administer a crushing 50 or 60 yard beating to Leo Lermond of the Boston A. A., once America’s lead- ing distance runer, in a 2-mile handi- cap affair, and Ira Singer, New York University freshman, romp away with the sprint serfes. McCafferty in Comeback. Bernie McCaflerty, Holy Cross speed- ster, also staged a comeback, after a dis- appointing debut three weeks ago. to lead Eddie Roll of Newark, Miiton Sandler of N. Y. U. and Eddie Blake of the Boston A. A, his one-time con- queror, to the tape in the special 500. Singer has vet to meet defeat in a sprint_series this year, among his vie- tims at the Newark games being Chet Bowman, national 60-yard champion and co-holder of the world record at that distance. Bowman admittedy was talking the meet as a tune-up for the major events to follow and showed he was a long way from top form. He finished fourth in all three races, which were won in slow time. All the times were slow, Conger's 2:17 9-10 being one of the best marks of the evening, considering the un- banked turns, and still almost 6 seconds behind Harold Cutbill's world record.

NEW YORK, January 29 (#).—Al- though there are three games on the National Hockey League schedule for tonight, the ffth clash of the year between the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins at Madison Square Gar- den casts a shadow over the meetings of the Canadian division leaders and the last-place teams of the two sections. Many fans think the time is about ripe for the Rangers to beat Boston, a feat which has not been accomplished in more than two years. At present New York appears to be in a slump, having gone through six games with- out a victory, while Boston, despite its tie with Philadelphia Tuesday, is riding the crest of the wave. ‘The Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs should have little trouble holding their places in the Canadian division race. The Flying Frenchmen entertain the Philadelphia Quakers and Toronto meets the Ottawa Senators. B ARMSTRONG ADDS ONE. Armstrong High basket ball team de- feated the Willow Tree A.
