The bright stars of the campaign were Johnny Weissmuller, so-called human fish, and Sybil Bauer, both of tlie Chicago district. Sybil not only won the Olympic backstroke fT ^Riampionsliip, but established 21 records, no less, during the cum Ipaign, while Weissmuller, who pre viously was thought to have hung up about all the records within hu man possibilities, added it to his string. Perhaps his best performance wa in swimming 100 yards in a 10-yard course in SI 2-S seconds, the fastest time for the distance ever made tin dor any conditions. Weissmuller looped off Ids sea son by winning the Olympic cham pionship at 100 and 400 ineti es, . other American winners being, Skelton in the 220 meters, Kenlnha in Hip backstroke and 'Al White in tlie fancy low and high diving com petitions. Ethel Darkle etepped in and won the 100 meter swim for women, after Miss Ederle failed to live up to past performances. Martha Xorelius was the winner of the 400 meter event, heating both Miss Wainwrlght * and Miss Ederle. Caroline Smith won the high dive. nd Elizabeth Berber came through in the fancy diving event.

In the accompanying layout we have six of the 1924 champions of N'e * brnska. Mrs. Hussell Fowles is the state champion golfer, while Paul Maliood of Lincoln holds the state singles tennis championship. The Creighton High school basket hall team won the state tournament at Lincoln and Emil Wurg ler won the midwest handball title at the "Y.” ,Iohn Redick holds the state golf championship among the stronger sex and Corlnne Condon might be railed the championship girl swimmer of Nebraska. Tech High's football team won the state championship by beating Cam bridge in a post season game. The Central High track team copped the state and city champlonslilps, while Long tirade school won both the city bosket ball and soccer titles. Tlie Guarantee Fund bowling team of Omaha won the state bowling championship, while Kelkenberg and Ilnnran of Lincoln won the doubles championship of Nebraska. E. t.umbel of Lincoln is holder of the state singles howling title. Elmer L. Rhodes of Kearney won the state trap shooting championship in the tournament held at Kearney. Hawkeves to Play w m Marquette Soon Iowa City, la., Dec. 27.—Coach Sam Harry'* Hawk* started a long two months’ grind on the rage floor-this afternoon, to prepare for their inva •slon of Milwaukee on January 1 to meet Marquette in the final practice game before the opening of the Big The Benson here against Minnesota fctir days later. The week's rest has given Captain Hector Jan*e time to recuperate from his illness, and he should he In-good condition for the start of the long campaign. The lineup seems fairly permanent, with Janso and Bauds at forward*. Raffensperger at center, and McConnell and Van Deuscn at guards. Boysen seems the most like ly substitute at forward. Heinlo Jensen Is making a strong fight for the center position, and Buzz Hogan is fighting hard for a regular post at guard. These eight men seem likely to make most of the trips to foreign courts during the 1925 season. Will Organizee Caffe League i r Physical Director C. O. Rooster of the V. M. c. A. has railed a meeting of ill those interested In the organ ization of tlte 1924-25 Sunday School Itisket hall league for Tuesday, De cember 30 at 3 p. m, in the offlre of the physical director In the "Y," Two leagues will be organized, the lightweight league for boys weighing under 135 pounds and the unlimited weight division.

Kvery boy playing on n team must he a member of the Sun day school he represents, and he must attend his Sunday school class three Sundays a month throughout the playing season. THOROUGHBREDS HAVE BIRTHDAY New Orleans, T)eo. 27.—Yearlings being schooled nt the Fair Grounds ^ill begin their racing careers during ihe month nf January and turf stu dent* are of the opinion that many of these youngsters will probably make future turf history. Among these juveniles the owners hope that an other Black Gold nr Master Charlie, which received their early training In New Orleans, may be developed. There are nearly 100 of these “babies'* on the ground receiving their lessons and according to Starter Wil liam Hamilton many of them have taken kindly to their tusk and prob ably will develop Into speed marvels dockers are watching with keen In terest tfiese yearlings which become two year-olds January 1. Although most of ths Juveniles are known only by markings—and not by names— these hope* of the turf have been Jotted down in their l>ooks and classl fled. LEROY KAYOES “NAVY”ROSTAN Grand Forks. N\ IV. IVe. 28 — Ruesle I.oroy of Fsrgo knocked out Navy Rostan of ^Philadelphia in the fourth round of n t-cheduled 10 round bout here tonight. Rostan did not. regain conscious ness for 15 minutes after h« was car tied from the ring. heroy weighed 138 pounds and Rostan, 142. % UOR years sympathy was showered on the late Maj. August Bel mont because the greatest race horse he ever bred, Man O' War, never ran under his colors. But the real reason why the phenomenal son of Fair Play-Mahulba was sold as a yearling remained unpublished until after the death of the great New York turfman recently. When Man O' War was born, Mr. and Mrs. Belmont took a great liking to him and a stable mate by Hour less. which never amounted to much. They were named by her, and both the Belpionts took a great personal merest in the colts. The world war was on at this time. Major Belmont, feeling that he should devote all his time to serving the country, resolved lo lighten his responsibilities, end to sell all his yearlings. It was characteristic of him to part with even these- favored ones rather than jeopardize his usefulness to the army. The rest ts an old story of how Samuel Riddle purchased Man O' War for $5,000, a ridiculously small sum for such a fine looking youngster, who won his Initial start and every other ane after that, with the excep tion of one event when he was beaten by T'paot after being practically left at the post. A discussion ns to the merits of Man O’ War compard with Sysonby came up not long ago, but as the horses inn ill different periods there was no way of determining the ques linn of superiority.

The latter won the league championship snd then was forced t« engage in a round robin with the other leaders, but the young man was a bit too good for the rest. David McOandless of Chicago won Ilia amateur balkllne championship and then turned professional, this prompting no feeling of depression whatever among other amateurs.
