He says he will make San Francisco his home and has jolned the Olympic club, under whose colors he probably will .compete hereafter. | ' When Abe Mitchell and George | Duncan, British professional golfers | finish their southern California tour | at San Diego, February 8, they will leave for the north with about $10,- 0100 more than when they arrived.

Three of the games—Army, Princton and Stan- ford take in railroad mileagg of more than 9,000 miles, The Lom- bard, Wabash, Georgla Tech and Ne- braska games were played at South Bend, Ind., and called for no trvel- ing. Interesting in connection Paave Nurmi's first performance in the United States was the fact that his mile race marked the third \ime he has run this distance in competition. The last time he ran with | the mile in open competition was in Angust, when he set the’ world's outdoor record at 4:10 2 Thus in two syccesstve mile races he shattered the outdoor and indoor standards. that made Gibbons the ph the ring. Harold “Red" Grange, flashy Il nols halfback, chosen for All-Ameri- can honors on alt mythical elovens, was the outstanding star of the 1924 season, In the opinion of Major John L, Grimth, commissioner ot athjetics in the western conference, Griffith looked over a few o himself, having reféreed a dozen games and falked with coachoes from all sec- tlons of thq country before arriving at his conclsion, He says Grange's achlevement in seering four touch. downs against Michigan on long, thrilling runs in less than twelve minutes after’the start of the game, was the outstanding individual performance of the season. — Outdoor exercise and golf have so improved the condition of Charley Hollocher, Chicago Nationdl short- stop, whose bad health last fall ap. peared likely to keep him from the game permanently, that he may be able to rejoln the team at the open- ing of the séason in April. He has informed President Veeck that he did not care to make the training trip to California because he be- lleved he could better round into condition at his home in St. Louis. Because Notre Dame's football team has had so much dining and entertalnment on its way from the victery over Leland Stanford, the Notre Dame club of Chicago has abandoned plans for a welcoming party when the Rocknesmen arrive in Chicago tomorrow. Automobile trips about the city have been sub- stituted. Lew Paluso, the Salt Lake City featherweight, fared badly in his first start since participation in the recent New York featherweight champlonsip elimination tournament. Nobe Cervantes of Denver scored a technical knockout over him in seven rounds at Ogden, Utah, last night.
