SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Big Ten to Run Own Affairs TOTELL ALLIANGE || Chis From the Maploways ITNEEDS NO HELP, Will Pass Polite but Firm Word to North Central Association. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, April 16.—Presi- dents, faculty representa- tives and athletic direct- ors of the Western Con- ference will meet here Satur- day, and—so the writer is in- formed—will tell the North Cen- tral Association of Colleges and Secondary’ Schools the Big Ten still is quite capable of conduct- ing its own athletic affairs. The information will, of course, be passed on to the North Central Asso- ciation in very diplomatic verbiage, but, nevertheless, the iron will be apparent under the sugary adjectives. It will be remembered that during the Winter North Central Association in- vestigators were .invited to leave the Northwestern University campus, where their activities were somewhat objec- tionable to the school authorities. In retaliation the North Central, so to speak, hung Northwestern on the fence and the university's standing im the association is neither here nor there. Have Strong Faction. Tt is doubtful if the Western Confer- ence is unanimous in its decision to administer a rebuke to the North Cen- tral Association, for some members of the Big Ten incline toward the reform- ers. But there are enough Big Ten presidents aligned on the side of North- western to give a hands-off order to the North Central. If the conference goes through with this action it will be the first time any group has shown a& disposition to rebel against the actions of several North Central investigators, who patently are opposed to intercollegiate athletics as they are and as they are administered by the Big Ten. The conference has no thought of severing its memberships in the North Central and merely will assert its right to an autonomy in the conduct of intercollegiate athletics within its own ranks. Likely to Be Amicable. ‘The North Central Association Board of Review likely will meet to reconsider | Northwestern's case after the Big Ten's decision is made known. At the time of the North Central nnual meeting | the Northwestern matter was deferred | pending the acticn of the Big Ten, so the ultimate outcome of the dispute will not be known for some time. However, it is belleved the North Central will prove amicable to the ex- pressed desires of the Western Confer- ence and permit the ‘Ten to run its own affairs. The ic standards of the Western Conference are the standards copled by the North Central. Any break between the North Central and Big Ten might lead to further se- cessions by some of the 37 athletic con- ferences within the sectional organiza- | da: tion and would not be wholesome for the North Central. So far as the gen- eral public is concerned, opinion seems to be more strongly in favor of the Western Conference than the North Central iati the tempest may distan never coll. fron WHHn the confines of the REACHES POLO FINAL Los Nanduces, Conqueror of Yale, Will Battle Optimists. NEW YORK, April 16 (#).—The highest, hand team in indoor polo, Los Nanduces of New York, qualified to meet Winston Guest's powerful Optimists in the final of the | national open indoor polo championship. | Los Nanduces defeated Yale, winner | of the intercollegiate and class A titles, | 14 to 12, in the second semi-final game after the Optimists had beaten the Commonwealth Polo Club of Boston, 8 to 5% The final will be played at Squadron A Armory Saturday night. e REARRANGE TURF TAX Canadian Tracks to Be Assessed in Proportion to Rece!pts. ‘TORONTO, April 16 (#).—Taxes on Canadian race tracks are to be assessed this year, according to the business they do, instead of each being charged a | A. flat rate of $5,000 dally.

So it is, at any rate, in the case of Lucille Preble. ‘$he King Pin maid was still atingle with the thrill of shooting two mixed doub'es records with Charley Young when fortune smiled again. As a re- sult Aiss Preble has the high set prize of the District Ladies’ League in the bag and her team has a lock on the team money. She shot 387 and the King Pins 1,622 at the King Pin No. 2, last night for league records and a 2-to-1 victory over the Meyer Davis team. Miss Preble's scores were 143, 131 and 113. The all-time Washington rec- ord for a girl league set is 395, rolled by Lorraine Gulli. The King Pins' set was the seccnd highest ever rolled here by a girl team. The Beeques of the Washington Ladies’ lel‘cnuzo_l hold the record of 1,660, made in A Miss Preble shared honors with Betty Minson last night, the latter coming within one pin of the season's high game with 146. Effie Moore and Miss Gulli each have a 147. Lucille will pair with Young in the mixed doubles of the Washington Cltg Duckpin Association tournament, whic! glrl“open next Monday at the Lucky e. FFICIALS of the city association were & bit crestfallen when the first check of entries revealed only one more team than last year, when the tournament drew 377, but they're happy now. Enough tardy entries came in to boost the total to approximately 400. However, there was a falling off of doubles and singles. ‘When dreams come true virtually every league in the city will be repre- sented 100 per cent in the annual tournament, provision for entry having been made at the season’s start. Years ago the suggestion was made by Harry Krauss and a few leagues accepted it. ‘The city association could stand a general tightening of its code. For in- stance, it should adhere strictly to the entry deadline and no entry should be accepted without cash in hand. 1f these regulations were made drastic, the association’s officers would be saved much trouble. The tournament field would be reduced considerably, perhaps 8 fourth, but only for a year or two, or until the bowlers learned the association really meant business. LLIE PACINI, dapper Italian ace, and Jack Whalen, great bowler at odd moments, will match shots to- night at the Recreation in the opening section of a 10-game series, to be con- cluded at the Columbia tomorrow night. ‘The thought is growing that Summer bowling would be more popular if duck- pins was made a two-ball game in the off-season. In some parts of the coun- try where tenphs is the big Winter game, two-ball duckpins holds sway in the warm months. Astor Clarke, ading candidate for the No. 1 ranking of the Washington City Duckpin Association, has finished the season in the Clarendon Commercial League with an average of 116, He is well above that in other circuits. SEVEN DERBY HORSES STRICKEN FROM LIST Withdrawn for Variety of Causes. Sweep All and Joey Bibb in Fast Workouts. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 16—With the Kentucky Derby exactly a month away, 7 of the 130 eligibles have been declared out of the race for various reasons. Back Log and Oswego, prominent nominees owned by Gallaher and Combs, and Aerial Prince, A. L. Fergu- son's eligible, contracted ailments at Lexington and were withdrawn from training. Lord Swift, an imported non- starter, has not developed fast enough, and C. B. Shaffer has decided to save him for the Arlington classic and Amer- ican Derby later in the year. Others which have been withdrawn are Her- bert M. Woolf’s Porternesia, E. B. Mc- Lean's Skiffy and James C. Ellis’ Leros. Honors for the fastest mile workout to date are held jointly by Sweep All,| owned by Charles T. Fisher, and Joey Bibb, C. C. Van Meter's candidate. Both have the distance in 1:423-5 at Lexington. They clipped & fifth of | = & second off the best mark of Pitts- burgher, T. E. Mueller's big colt, which was set at Churchill Downs, a faster track than the Lexington oval. Kentucky racing will begin at Lex- ington Saturday with prospects that no Derby eligibles will start in the opening y feature, the Ben Ali Handicap, though several have been nominated The tace is over the futurity course, and owners of Derby eligibles prefer not to start their hopefuls against older horses except In races nearer the Derby ice. Cayuga, T.-E. Mueller's 6-year-old, has been assigned top weight for the Ben Ali, 116 pounds, with C. V. Whit- ney’s Angry and Herbert M. Woolf's Lady Broadcest next with 115 each. R. W. Collins' Don Leon, if he starts, will have the top weight among the Derby eligibles, with 110. Spanish Play, which won the Loulsiana Derby for C. H. Knebelkamp, was assigned 108. It is highly improbable these prominent Kentucky Derby nominees face the barrier. 100-YARD MARK AIM OF HELENE MADISON Seattle’s Flashy Mermaid to Make Eastern Debut in A. A. U, Title Event Tonight.
