Idncoln, Jan. 4.— Charles Bachman, roach ut Kansas State Agricultural college, hts declined an offer to come to University of Nebraska as head football coach, it became known Friday with publication in Kansas City of the announcement which came out of Manhattan, Kan. Nebraska officials stated that an offer had been made to Coach Bach man but latter had found is impos sible to accept. Athletic authorities at Nebraska have been considering Bachman for some time, Athletlo Director Dawson approaching the Kansas mentor the tirst time over a year ago. Mr. Dawson has felt that the duties of both athletic director and bead football coach have been too much of a drain on Ills physical strength. It was to relieve him that the athletic board of control tendered the offer of head coach to the former Notre Dame player. Had Bachman accepted, Dawson would have re mained as athletic director. No further move will he made towards setting a football coach until Mr. Dawson returns from Colorado where he was forced to go on ac count'bf his health immediately after the football season. It is doubtful whether anything will be done then, officials said. Reports from Colorado state that Coach Dawson is rapidly recovering and that he will be home early in February.

Commercialism in U.S.Tennis Ranks to Be Curbed Players Writing for Period icals to Be Declared In eligible Under New Association Ruling. By Associated Press. New York. Jan. 4.—Tennis players who profit substantially by writing for newspapers or magazines will be declared ineligible for amateur com petition. if a proposal by the amateur rule committee of the United States Lawn Tennis association, announced last night, is adopted. This stringent Interpretation of amateur status, designed, according to the committee, to check the men ace of commercialism to tennis, al ready- has been approved by the ex ecutive committee of the United States Lawn Tennis association and will be laid before the annual meet ing here February 2 for final action. Although George T. Adee, chair man of the amateur rule committee, declared the move was not aimed at any particular individual, it Is generally understood It was designed to curb the journalistic activities of several star players, notably William T. Tilden II of Philadelphia, the na tional champion and recognized world's premier player; Vincent Rich ards, youthful Yonkers star and for mer national doubles championship partner of Tilden, and Frank T. An derson of Brooklyn, one of the lead lng metropolitan racquet wlelders. .'love 'lade ueiore. A similar move -was made by the amateur rule committee at the 1923 annual meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis association, but, framed as a bylaws amendment, it failed tu receive the two-thirds majority vote needed for adoption. As revised, the proposal now takes the form of a resolution interpreting the amateur status, leaving discretionary powers to the executive committee, and needs only a bare majority to become part of the tennis law. Because some players already may have signed contracts to write tennis articles this year, the resolution pro vides that the new Interpretation would not become effective until Jan uary 1, 1925. Asserting that "the nation-wide development of tennis for all classes has produced a situation which threatens the very foundation of the game,’’ the amateur rule committee's report to the executive committee de plores "this introduction of money making or commercialism'’ which it looks upon "with grave alarm amj concern." Disapproves or Money flayers. Another resolution, which dlsap proved of a player receiving or nego tlatlng for money In payment of any expenses Incurred in attending a tournament, exhibition or team match, except through the proper of ficials of his home club or associa tion or the national association, also is recommended for adoption l>y the amateur rule committee. This action, according to «ho rule committee's report. Is due to "the Increasing ten dency of players, and more partlcu larly prominent players, to expect clubs to apend large amounta of money to make the players comfort able and give them every luxury while playing In the club's tourna ment.” Under a resolution adopted a year ago, players are required to file ex pense accounts, but the committee points out, to date 63 prominent men and women players have filed such reports, while 19 have failed to do so.

Once in a while some “flimsy” Is sent In which Is not saturated with acchariferous boosts for a fighter or a show. Then, and then only, can it find its way in this column. Here Is Jimmy Johnrton’s interest ing and reliable little encomium on his fighter, Johnny Dundee, entitled "Boxing Miracle Man:” ’’Johnny Dundee, the world's featherweight champion, is a very remarkable man in a very remark able age, pugillstically. He is well within his rights when he calls him self 'Boxing's Mlracl9 Man.’ “Dundee has seen more than 60 champions come and go. He has seen some of the brightest stars of the boxing game fade in the dis tance since he started on his career. Johnny has seen great champions slip from the ladder of fame and sink into oblivion. Cut, like Tenny son's famous brook, Dundee seems to go on and on forpver." "It is the ambition of every ath lete to win a championship. but Dundee, after 14 years of boxing, is now seeking a second title with all the vim and vigor of a young beginner. The great champion# he has witnessed go down and out were illustrious in the manly art of self defense. “Only a few of these are boxing today. My little champion 1# still seeking a crack at all the men in the feather, light and welter weight classes. And what is more remark able, he can whip nine out of every 10 in these classes. "The championship match*# and the dethroned champions since Dun dee began boxing are all mentioned here. Only a third of these listed are now boxing, while Dundee to day Is at the pinnacle of fistic fame: "Heavyweights—Jim Jeffries lost to Jack Johnson. Jack Johnson loBt to Jess Willard, Jess Willard lost to Jack Dempsey. Middlewelghts—Billy Papke lost to Frank Klaus. Klaus lost to George Chip. Chip lost to A1 McCoy. Mc Coy lost to Mike O’Dowd. O'Dowd lost to Johnny Wilson. Wilson lost to Harry Greb. "Welterweights — Honey Melody lost to Mike Sullivan. Mike Sullivan lost to Dixie Kid. Ted Lewie claimed title. I^ewls lost to Jack Britton. Britton lost to Mickey Walker. "lightweight—Joe Cans lost to Battling Nelson, rseteon lout to au Wolgast. Wolgast lost to Willie Ritchie. Ritchie tost to Freddy Welsh. Welsh lost to Benny Leon ard. •'Featherweights— Alie Atteli lost to Johnny Kilbane. Kilbane lost to Ilugene Criqui. Criqui lost to Johnny Dundee. •'Bantamweight* — Johnny Coulon lost to Kid Williams Williams lost to Pete Herman. Herman lost to Joe Lynch. Lynch lost to Herman. Herman tost to Johnny Buff. Buff lost to Joe Lynch ", Jimmy’s only exaggeration was in the number of champions Johnny saw come and go. We deleted an inconsequential flyweight list. but even so the numler falls far short of 50. However, Johnny's the Miracle Man and no mistake. Landis to Decide Urban Shocker Case CHICAGO. Jan. 4.—Whether the St. l/ouis American league baseball team actually had In it* book* of rules a stipulation that wives of players be prohibited from traveling w ith the, team Is to be de termined b.v Commissioner K. M. Landis as the next step In the con troversy between Pitcher I rban Shocker and the team. The star hurier and the club split last September when Shocker de sired to have his wife accompany him when the team took its last eastern trip and tile club Informed him to do so would be a violation of the rules. Shocker was fined and suspended when he left the team as it started east. His appeal to the commissioner for an uncon ditional release is now pending. \flamn1tmijoris 1 Cote mm New York. Jan. 3.—Various legls lators are making threatening ges tures at Albany against the boxing game. These gestures are quite unneces sary. If the administration wishes to do away with boxing It stands to reason that boxing will be disposed of with out jfesturn. If the administration sees no objec lion to boxing, then boxing will to main. And it is the opinion of the writer that the administration will se« no objection to boxing. It might he well for the legislators who are gesturing to suggest some method of replacing the no Incon siderable revenue that comes to the state from boxing, If boxing Is to be done away with. Some of the legislators, and others, seem to be mainly disturbed because they think Tex Ricknhl has a boxing monopoly in this city. His monopoly certainly did not In clude the biggest bouts presented here last summer, such as the Leonard Tendler, Vllla-WUde, Kllhane-Crlqul and Crlqui-Dundee bouts. He promoted one open air show on Manhattan Island for his own profit, the Dempsey l-'irpo bout. He pro moted the Milk Kund show for charity. They called him In at the last minute to take over the Oreb Wilson show, which was not his pro motion. Rickard's monopoly last summer was on successes only. Other pro 1s displaced the cauliflower Industry In this state will die a sure and rapid death. Ho has Insisted on alisnlute honesty In all ids promotions. Whatever may be said of Rickard, ho was never connected with a boxing swindle. He has given Ills plants, and Ills organisation and personal services to charity time and again, lie lias done morn for boxing than any other man In the history of the game. If making money out of one's own enterprise and hard work is a crime. Rickard is perhaps guilty. Rut he has an Investment of ll.OOa.onn In property, a heavy tax list, and a long roll of employes behind him ns nn answer to the apparently very seri ous rharge that ho Is nn "outsider In New York gathering a profit.

Jim and IJ Joe, were athlet | bally Inclined { from the day they began to piay marines hiiu other Wndred Juvenile sports. Jim had an am bition to become a great ball play er. Joe aspired to be a good boxer and perhaps, some day a pug ilist t*f great fame. Jim, after spending much time in trying to master the fine point* of the national patylme, gave up the Idea of play ing professionally but, at that, “Gen tleman Jim” became noted as a clever amateur player. Joe. on thl other hand, found that he never was cut out for a fighter, that is one who would reach the pinacle of the pro fession. And as time wore on Jim Corbett discovered that lie possessed con siderable skill as a hover and from the manner in which he hanged the local talent lie convinced his friends that there was a future awaiting him in the roped arena. Joe Corbett, who didn't rare much for the game of baseball, discovered that he possessed an arm that could propel a baseball at a terrific pace and began practising pitching. Jim Corbett's skill as a boxer a’ traded attention of the men behind the game and in a short time the lithe athlete was heralded as a com er. Corbett displayed a new style of boxing and foot-work that was t rev elation to fight fans and rings**!1 ex perts. One day or, night rather. James Corbett was in the ring bat tling the champion of the world for his crown. History of the ring tells how "Centl-man .Jim” Corbett sub dued the great John I. Sullivan and emerged from the contest an the champion heavyweight of the world. Joe Corbett, the would-be hover, became a veritable whirlwind at ttce pitching game and gained a place on the pitching staff of the Baltimore club of the National league then, the greatest aggrega tion in baseball. Joe pitched such wonderful hall that he was the star hurler of the team and counted among the great ones of the league. ^ Jew Corbett quit the big league in 1H99. because of a disagreement about salary and the national pas lime lost a star of the first magni tude. jOlvmpic Body Ties Up Picture Rights Effort Being Made to Freeze Out American Interests. Paris. Jan. 4.—It was revealed yes tcrday that the French Olympic com mittee Is trying to bottle up the movie and still picture rights for the Olym pic game*-. A Frenchman named DeRivera pur chased the world movie rights for the ludicrous sum of approximately $14,000 whereupon he approached an American film firm with the ultl-' Imatum that America will get no pic tures of the games unless he is paid ?6«’000 for the American rights alone. The Americans refuse^ to pay the amount demanded and appealed to the Olympic committee, but the latter refused to act. Meanwhile it is understood that similar amazing tactics have been at tempted as regards the still pictures of the events. A demand of 17,500 for the American rights has been made for photographs, but nobody has 'accepted the proposition, with the re sult that the commit'ee will likely be obliged to admit all photographers. Revelations of Olympic profiteering in other directions, it is alleged, have —-------r reached high quarters, causing a scan dal which the. authorities are trying hard to suppress. Unless American visitors to th* Olympic desire to sleep ,n the parks or In different boarding houses many miles from the gates of Paris, they would be wise to begin piaking reser cations now. According to best statistics, the Paris hotels have only room for SO.aefi visitors at once, while the Olympic visitors are expected to number 3"0. 000. Several of the principal hotels 'are already booked solidly for June and July.
