A—10 = Prosperity Ahead for Amateur Sports : Gallaudet in L OH! WELL, IT’S ALL IN FUN. PASTIMES T0 FEEL - QLYWPIC INPETUS Chicago World Fair Again Will Bring Outstanding Athletes Together. BY AVERY BRUNDAGE, President of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States. President of the American Olympic Association. soctated Press HICAGO, January 7.—Ama- teur sports stuck out its| B chest in 1932 and faces another banner season in 1933. Given impetus by the Olym- | pic games, amateur sports had its | greatest year in history. For 1933 there are hopes of an- other outstanding year. Present plans of the management of the Century of Progress, the world fair to be held in Chicago, con- | template a complete program of | sports and games, including many international events, so that the momentum gained in 1932 will not be lost. “The greatest year in history”—This rating for 1932 1s established not be- | cause of quality of performance, but for especially since in the past year the true importance of amateur sport has been aemonstrated. | People of all nations, faced by the | collapse of business and industry, wit- nessing the crashing of reputations and the 1ailure of established institutions, and almost convinced that there is something wrong with our form of civil- ization, turned for relief and recreation to clean, wholesome amateur sports and games, HETHER as participant or spectator at these events of equal oppor- tunity for all, where the best man wins regardless of race, color, creed, family, or financial standing, they have come again to realize the value of pure 'mocracy from which in other fields | ‘e have strayed so far. ‘They have learned to disdain sharp practice, to respect the rights, to insist on common honesty, courtesy, and fair | play, and to appreciate the value of physical strength, mental alertness and | moral soundness. ‘They have become imbued with the virile, dynamic philosophy of sport, and if they carry these high ideals of am- ateur sport into the other enterprises of life, drive on false standards, and in- sist on the adoption of the code of sportsmanship in business, in politics and in other flelds, it will inaugurate a new and happier era. ‘The great event of 1932 from the viewpoint of sport was, of course, the Olympic games. Six months ago, when we were trying to gather together enough money to get the American team to Los Angeles, we were repeated- ly asked by those solicited why the games were not postponed or abandoned, with general conditions as they were. Leaders of amateur sport not only in this country, but in all the world felt, however, that now was, above all, the time to carry one. How right they were is shown by the fact that despite the depression, the games of the tenth Olympiad were the finest ever held in every respect, ath- lectically, socially, and even financially. THREE or four million dollars were | invested in the games at Lake Placid and at Los Angeles before the gates were thrown open. Why all this trouble and expense for an event of this kind? Certainly not just to determine the best athletes in the world through a series of athletic com- petitions. It is the auxiliary results from the Olympic games that count—the meet- | 4ng on the friendly field of sport of the | Tepresentatives of 50 different countries, | the association in the council room of the sport leaders of these countries, | the spreading of good feeling among | men of different nationality, of differ- | ent race, of different habits of life. The Olympic games have without question done more to create interna- tional good will than any other one thing. Track and field athletics perhaps pro- vide the greatest number of thrilling | performances during the year. = Fol-| owing & Winter and Spring of record breaking, in the eight days of compe- tion at Los Angeles, 20 new Olympic and 7 new world records in the 33 events for men, and 6 new Olympic | and world reords in 6 events for women were made in the most brilliant pro- | gram of events ever held. It is hard to choose between Wil- liam Carr's phenomenal 462 seconds | SPORTS.’ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, College, School Basket Contests Tonight. Gallaudet vs. L_anhburg College at Tech High.

TIGERS AND GREEN ‘Washington RENEW R FELLS Dartmouth to Invade Prince- ton for Contests in 1933 and 1934, By the Assoclated Press RINCETON, N. J, January 7.— Under the influence of the new method of giving foot ball bark to th> undergraduates, Prince ton and Dartmouth have decided to Tesume gridiron relations where they left off 16 years ago. Arrangements have been completed for Princeton-Dartmouth games at Tigertown November 11, 1933, and No- vember 24, 1934. This year's game was made possible when New Hampshire released Dartmouth and Lehigh re- leased Princeton from commitments for games on November 11. The resumption was a natural out- come of the idea advanced at Prince- ton by Coach “Fritz” Crisler of con- sulting undergraduate opinion in_ ar- |} ranging schedules. Students at both colleges have favored such a game for several years, believing it was a natural rivalry, especially in view of the close relations between Dartmouth and the other members of the old big three, Yale and Harvard. HANOVER, N. H., January 7 (#).— Resumption of foot ball relations be- tween Princeton and Dartmouth will make the Green schedule for 1933 one of the stiffest in years. After games with Norwich, Vermont and Bates, Dartmouth will face Penn- sylvania, Harvard, Yale, Corn and Chicago on_successive Saturdays. Dartmouth-Princeton gridiron rela- tions, which date back to 1897, lapsed in 1916. The teams have met 13 times and the Tigers have won 9 games. FANS T0 GET LOOK AT METRIC SYSTEN To Be Put on View Tonight as Stars Compete in New York Meet. By the Assoctated Press. EW YORK, January 7.—The first test of how American track fans will take to the use of the metric system comes tonight as the seventh annual indoor meet of the Columbus Council, Knights of Columbus, opens the 1933 season of competition on the board floors. All but one or two events are listed | to be run at metric distances in the first meet to make the shift from yards, feet and inches in a big way. The feature of the meet, the Columbus 500, remains a 500-yard race, but the dis- tance event is at 5000 meters, the sprints at 60, 80 and 100 meters and the relays at 1,600 meters. One Olympic champion, Leo Sexton, who holds the world record for the| heads the big entry | shotput _as_well, list, with another former Georgetown for the 400 meters and the race in which Tom Hampson of England broke | 1:50 for the 800 meters for the first| time in history.

Basket Ball Tips BY JOE GLASS. HIS Michigan scoring play is & peach. Left guard (5) passes to left forward (4), who advances to catch the ball, taking his defensive guard with him. No. 5 follows up and t s a return pass from 4. Center (2) s on the free throw line, and 5 would be_expected to pass fo him, but 2 pulls out for the left corner of the court, bluffing to receive a pass there. Now right forward (1) who has first feinted toward the | sideline, cuts to the spot vacated by | 2. No. 5 passes to him, The cul- | minating stage of the play is reached when right guard (3), after feinting to the right sideline, cuts back toward the center lane and drives by 1, who hands the ball to him for a short shot at the basket. No. 4 breaks around to help on rebounds. |~ One merit of this play lies in the early developments, which draw most of the defensive strength to the | left side of the court. The unex- pected shift by which 1 takes 2's lace at the center line counts eavily, too. GENTRAL TOSSERS - ARE OF TITLE TYPE 'Loom as High School Series Victors After Easy Win Over Eastern. F Central does not win the public high basket ball -championship everybody who follows schoolboy sports here will be greatly sur- prised. Following its 51-29 rout of Eastern yesterday, Central's stock is soaring. Most every one figures that Tech will not offer Central a great deal more op- position than did Eastern. Roosevelt drubbed Western, 49 to 21, in the serles | opener and has players of ability, but it is not thought that Central will find the Bears particularly tough. | Tech makes its series debut Tuesday against Western. 'OACH BERT COGGINS' boys looked the proverbial million against Eastern. They were figured to turn back the Lincoln Parkers, but were not expected to do so in such easy style. The Columbia Heights bunch hopped off to a healthy lead and al- ways held a big advantage. At the first quarter Central was ahead, 15 to 6, and at the half, 29 to 12. Buddy Nau led the savage attack of the Blue, but Bill Burke, Carroll Shore and Jack Moulton all had their scoring eve rimmed. Al Waters and ommy Nolan did virtually all East- ern’s scoring. Roosevelt had an easier time defeat- ing Western than expected. The inex- perienced team from Georgetown led the Bears, 8 to 7, at the end of the first quarter, but the Rough Riders then got really rough and soon had the game in _the bag. Billy Harris and Huck Cavanaugh were the main figures in the Roosevelt attack. Brennan, center, was high for ‘Western. Summary: Central (51) Burke, ¢ 0 q e ryant. c. . . e dtis Tipton, ...

FASTERN QUINTETS N DOUBLEHEADER IPitt-TempIe, Carnegie Tech- West Virginia Contests Scheduled Tonight. By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, January 7.—The newly organized Eastern Inter- collegiate - Basket Ball Con- ference,” composed of Pitts- | burgh, Temple, Carnegie Tech, George- | |town and West Virginia, gets its first | | championship race under way in earnest tonight with a double-barreled program. Temple’s undefeated five invades Pittsburgh to play the Panthers, while Carnegie Tech battles West Virginia | at Morgantown. Georgetown, already beaten by Pitt, 32-18, in the opening game of the race, will not play again until January 21, when the Hoyas will be matched against Temple at Phila- delphia. Pitt, beaten only by Northwestern, and holding victories over Georgetown, Minnesota, Butler and Purdue, looks the class of the conference, although Temple should be tough. The Phila- delphia school has romped over Johns Hopkins and Lebanon Valley and won |a close, 29-25, victory over Colgate. West Virginia defeated Salem, 35-29, |in its only start and Carnegie has yet to sppear in actual competition. Georgetown dropped games to Pitt and | Duke before beating Canisius and Colgate.

According to no less an authority | than Josephus Holman, the publicity | man for the local clique of throat | throttlers and toe twisters, Mr. Dusek | is openly snubbing the collegiates who ! have come into the wrestling racket | and pointedly referring to them as a batch of young mer. who have nothing | but a few tricks and little knowledge of | scientitic wrestling. It seems to me that not only Mr. Dusek has been saying things like that, but every athletic commission in the land has said as much, in ef- fect, when it threatens to tear the game loose from its customers un- | less it cuts out the super-hippodrom- ing and gets down to a more sensible way of deciding winners, or losers. With the advent of the Sonnenbergs, Steins and Georges into the scrambled- | ear skit came high-pressure wrestling, | collegiate ideas of smart money, and also the collegiates’ idea of just how far the gullible public could be stretched before the breaking point had been reached. But the breaking point arrived long before the master minds of the mat pastime realized. A year ago the big boys in the game said it was far, far away. They were just as wrong in that instance as are most of them in that more hippodroming is needed to cause the ticket machines to purr again. PROF‘. RUDOLPH DUSEK, who | Mr. Dusek is right when he says that the old-timers, Londos, Shikat, | Stecle and Malcewicz, have made the Somnenbergs and the Judsons. Without being held up by the old- | timers, who knew something more | than making faces and lifting rivals into the audience, the collegiates would have had to wear clown suits 1o get over. But the doughty Iowa farmer, and his boy friends among the honest-to- goodness wrestlers, would not have gone very far in the matter of making money had not the collegiates, and the actors, come into the game to make the sport appear as something different than the | trade had ever seen before. However, enough seemed to be suffi- clent. ~Afier the clients had a load | of beef or two popped into their laps 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.

And wrestling had nothing more to offer than, maybe a third lump of beef to be tossed over the ropes. So Mr. Dusek, being a head man in his game, counts fewer dollars at the gate and realizes that it might not be a bad idea to have some of the wrestlers wrestle for a change, and the customers’ change. Dusek is said to have made more than one slighting reference to the ex-Har- vard coach, Frank Judson, and his one-hold style of wrestling. Yet the other night the man from the corn belt had to flop his own shoulders onto the mat to please the crowd. I cannot think of any other reason why he did, hardly taking wrestling seriously enough to give it any thought. Despite Judson’s victory over the corn | you cannot make the groan | ¢ husker, trade believe that Frank can really throw Rudy. a state in the mat game that the cus tomers refuse to believe anything, par- ticularly that these college foot ball | boys who pop into the mat pastime overnight know much more than the | imported cheese brought over from Siberia, with long beards and rolls of fat as their advertising assets. Your correspondent feels, along with a lot of other people, that if anything is to save the mat game Jjor the trade it will be its return to bonafide grappling. Well, as bona- fide as wrestling ever was in its good days. And, apparently so do Messrs. Londos, Dusek and Turner. Yet, and a whole mouthful of yets, Mr. Londos meets Mr. Judson next week right here on our front lawn. Let's take up some other subject.

Dissatisfied with the Blues’ showing against Columbia University following three consecutive victories, Coach Krug will start rearranged line-up, which probably will find Capt.
