For the first time in several years I can do exactly what I want to without having to worry how it will affect my amateur standing, All last week I practiced at basket ball and billiards, had daily workouts in a gymnasium, went to shows and got myself a lot of new clothes.

One night last week I visited | Amelia Earhart and her husband, | George Palmer Putnam, at their home in Rye. I had a grand time. | Mrs. Putnam told me about her two | fights across the | Atlantic, and Mr. | Putnam_ told me about Lindbergh's book, which made him $100,000.

I was afraid, when I gave up my amateur standing, that I would lose most opportunities for competition But it is not turning out that way at all. I will be able to play basket ball in every town I visit, if I want to. Also, I can play golf with the best players in the country. Like all people who have a great deal of physical energy, I am restless and like to travel. When I was an amateur, I did not get much chance | to travel. I had to @b where the | sanctioned meets were held, and I was | always in training. I didn’t have time | really to see the places I visited. | OW I expect to visit every big city | in the United States. During this week I will visit Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Cleveland, where I have made arrangements to appear at the automobile shows. ‘The next week I will be in Detroit, and the week following at Chicago. Then I will return to New York and will spend several days rehearsing for my vaudeville tour. After that I will go_all over the United States. | In Philadelphia I am going to see Lawson Rcbertson, coach of the Ameri- | can Olympic teams for many years. I also expect to see Bill Carr, the 400- | meter champion, and other stars of the University of Pennsylvania.

Loughlin, tallying ace of ihe team, and one of the highest scorers in the East last season, did not play Saturday, due to a sore hand, although he baked the injured member for 30 minutes before the game. Kastein has played only a few minutes since before the holidays, due to the reoccurrence’ of an injurey sustained in track. However, Coach John N.
