Harvard Olympic Selections
to Be Made at the Har

Boston.
By Associated Frees.
Xew York, Oct. 2*.—-Faced with the
pjospect of the greatest challenge to
Its athletic prowess In the the history
of international competition, the ex
ecutive committee of the Americun
Olympic committee yesterday formu
lated detailed plans for marshalling of
• this country’s most potent foVces for
the 1924 Olympics at Paris.
The United States, it was developed
at the committee's meeting, will be
jpore completely represented in the
Various fields of competition than
ever before, notably tennis and polo,
v.htie in such>branches as track and
field, where American supremacy has
teen pretty well established in the
past, every effort will b made to send
the best material available into the
lists.
Outstanding among the concrete
steps taken by the committee were
the selection of Harvard stadium at
Boston, as the scene for the final
Olympic track field tryouts on June 13
And 14, 1924, and the defeat of a pro
posal to change the functions of the
Olympic committee by clothing it
with complete and final Jurisdiction
over all matters pertaining to this
country's participation, taking away
- ouch powers as now sre vested in
the various athletic governing bodies.
Change Proposed.
'' The attempt to alter the commit
• tee's status was proposed by Brig.
,,Gen. Palmer E. Pierce of New
York, president of the National Col
legiate Athletic association, in a reso
lution which would provide that "the
American Olympic committee of the
'American Olympic asaociation has
ocoirrplete and final Jurisdiction over
all matters pertaining to the partici
pation of the United States of Amer
ica Hn the plymplc *games; and that
JX is tlje judgment of the American
Olympic committee that the Interna
tional Olympio committee likewise
■should have complete and final juris
diction over the Olympic games.”
Presentation of the resolution pre
«i^itated a controversy with forces of
llie amateurottfletic union opposed
those of the newly organised na
tional smateiir., Athletic federation,
JWnich through Brigadier General
Pfarce was understood to have fath
ered the plan. A. A. U. Influence pre
wailed however wheiv-Jt Wae va**d to
t*t>l# the resolution, thus assuring the
retention of the arrangement under
sWhich athletic governing bodies repre
sented in the Olympic committee certi
fy officially as to the amateur status
ftnd citizenship of competitors subject
the final endorsement of the Olym
pic committee.
- Under the proposed change, advo
cated by Brigadier General Pierce
and also by Elwood S. Brown, exe
cutive officer of the N. A. A. F„ the
©fympic committee alone would pass
upon the eligibility of American com
petitors and take away authority now
teld by such bodies as the A. A. U.
1ji track and field and other sports,
the United States Lawn Tennis as
sociation, the National Rifle associa
tion and similar sport controlling or
ganizations.
Selection of the Olympic team
members, for all practical purposes,
will be placed In the hands of the
various sport controlling bodies.
Such authority waa delegated by the
committee to the various organisa
tions, Col. Robert M. Thompson,
•hairman of the committee, pointing
put that the function of the Olympic
body was primarily one of rejection
rather than aelection. In most cases,
these organizations already have tak
en steps to nelect the best material
available .and completed plana for
factional tryouts.
The Olympic committee proposes
to raise 3350,000 to finance Us pro
ject. a sum which will provide for
sending a team of -approximately 300
athletes, with trainers, assistants and
Others. The money, according to the
shn outlined by Col. Robert M.
Thompson, chairman of the commit
tee. and approved today, will be ob
tained from the sale of ticket's on
the steamship America, chartered to
take the team to France; from the
receipts at tryout games, and from
public subscriptions. Plans already
are afoot for an intensive nation wide
campaign to raise funds by popular
appeal.
America will l>e represented In
•radically all features of the Olym
pic program, starting with the Ini
tial events, the winter aporta, to be
held at Chamonix, January 25 to
February I. These will include speed
and figure skating and hockey, other
sports which will draw American
competition including soccer, rugby,
polo, target shooting, shotgun
matches, boxing, fencing, wrestling,
swimming, rowing, lawn tennis, gym
nastics, weight lifting, equestrian
tsfcorts, cycling and yachting.
. Selections Subject to Approval.
Selection of candidates by the
aftort governing bodies will be sub
ject to the final approval of the
Olympic committee, while for track
a’hd field sports, the outstanding fea
ture of the championship program,
the official tryouts at Roston will be
the medium of selection.
Annual college and club track and
field meets in various parts of the
country will serve as preliminary
l«sts, the best performers qualifying
for the final tryouts. These meets,
such as the I. A. A. A. A., tn the
obst and the western co«ferem e and
v (•. ,\. A. In the west, will furnish
most of the material, although other
ofgnideations, such as the army also
igi(n to Itnve trials. The army will
have irvouts In each of the nine
nre.c. into which the country Is dl
vfded.

Crippled Squad
to Face Tigers
Back Field and End Posi
tions Still in
Doubt.
In spite of the act that the team
will face the Des Moines Tigers to
morrow In a crippled condition,
Creighton university football fans
are confident that the Blue warriors
will emerge from the conflict victori
ous. The game Is the first one of
the season In which the locals appear
on tlje home field.
Contrary to original reports. Ike
Mahoney, who received a badly split
lip In the South Dakota contest last
Saturday, will start in the game to
morrow. Mahoney lias been unable
to scrimmage this week, but Coach
Wynne Is desirous of starting his
strongest possible combination against
Des Moines.
Walter Gayer, who was injured In
the Dakota fray also, has not ap
peared for practice yet this week. He
will probably be out of the lineup to
morrow, with Benolken playing in his
place. Neary, guard, was confined
to Ids bed yesterday with sickness,
and may not be able to play tomorrow
either.
Wynne sent the regulars through
a light workout yesterday afternoon,
giving them a rest after their hard
scrimmage against the freshmen the
day before. The "frosh” used Des
Moines plays which they were taught
by Coach McGahan. McGahan
scouted the Des Moines-North Dakota
game last Saturday. The freshmen
romped through the varsity that night
for six touchdowns.
Bast night the scrubs tackled the
"frosh,” who were using the Des
Moines plays again. Profiting by the
experience of the regulars, the scrubs
kept the freshmen from making one
touchdown, while they themselves
pushed one over. Coach Wynne
played halfback for a part of this
scrimmage.
Owing to the uncertain condition
of so many of the players, Wynne Is
not sure what his full lineup will be.
Who will play fullback, center and
ends Is yet to be settled, according to
Wynne.
The student* will stage a big
parade Saturday noon on the down
town streets. Each department will
have a float in the parade and stunts
will be pulled at intervals as the
parade progresses. It .will begin at
11:30. and will end just in time to
allow the students to *o home to
lunch und report tack to the field in
time for the game, which starts at
":30. Tile students will have a spe
cial rooters’ section in the east stand.
They will be admitted to this section
by card only.

M iMUL ••K.M IK. * V
An athlete can do most anything
if he's got to. That may seem
a gross exaggeration. Hut let us
revert to the Firpo-Denipaey battle
to start an argument on the sub
ject. Kirpo probably expected a bat
tle something on the order of his
lirennan or Jess Willard engagement,
perhaps a little stiffer. Compared
to Dempsey, these men were slow and
feeble. And against them Kirpo was
slow and feeble compared to the Kir
po of the Ileinpsoy battle. There
was no demand for the herculean
effort. Willard fought cautiously and
in spurts, with Kirpo responding In
a like manner. Kirpo exhibited none
of the fierce battle rage against Wil
lard that he did against Dempsey.
There was no call for it. Like begets
like.
One cannot help picturing, recall
ing the Willard fight, two vastly dif
ferent kinds of a bewildered Kirpo.
In tlie fifth round Willard appeared
to have Kirpo beaten. Jle Jalibed and
hooked without a return. Flrpo then
was fairly tamed, lie backed away
without resistance of any kind. Many
thought him beaten, but Willard, uii
like Dempsey, brought out none of
Kirpo’s Iron fighting qualities because
he ilid not press Ills advantage. Fir
po recovered, but not in the heat of
fight ing. for Willard stirred up no
su<h a sensation.
Against Lkmproy it was different,
and Dempsey made it different. When
KIrpo was being beaten here the per
fect hailstorm of'blows that Dempsey
rained on him permitted of no mild
capitulation. He had to slug with
his tormentor or ho murdered. Firpo
went down to defeat battling like a
brave soldier. He deserves all the
glory that belongs to the brave. We
know now what we didn't know’ before
—that he |g a good fighting man.
Jtut don’t forget that it was Demp
sey with hi* furious assault that
forced tins soldier to enlist in the
army of the mighty and the hrave!
The examples of athletes surpass
ing themselves on soul stirring occa
sions are many, by the way. Hid
you ever consider how many compar
atively commonplace lail players
have won fame in a world’s series?
One of the heroes of last year wae
Jack Soott. the Giant pitcher. Scott
had been released by Cincinnati be
cause of an alleged “d»ad arm.”
Although he had won eight out of
ten gun*** for the Giants in the* lat
ter |>,irt of the season, no one. not
even Soott himself, expected him to
figure in tile series against the Yanks.
Scott nerved himself for tbe occa
:dun, surpassed his best effort and
shut out the Yanks. Only one man
reached third.
And who was It. along with Hob
Meusel. who contributed lit® most
daring play of the world series the
year previous? None other than
Mike McNally a substitute infielder
of t lie Yanks. He stole home. Tho
outstanding case In liaildoin of a
lesser light rising to a mighty oc
casion is cieorge Rohe of the White
S' x In 1'JOC. Rohe was a substitute
ini adder during the American league
pennant race of that year. Not a
particularly brilliant one either.
Hut in the world scries, which an
accident admitted hint to, Rolie run
tfibuted the unexpected. He rose to
the heights. Indulging in a hatting
spree which defeated the (’ubs and
won the world championship for the
White Sox. Rohe batted .333 in that
memorable series. The following
year in the American league pennant
race, the morning glory withered to
.313. After that he dropped out of
fight. In ISIS it was tJeorge White
man of the Red Sox who beat the
Cubs with hts sensational catches in
the outfield. Whiteman was no won
der before that. Now he Is gone and
forgotten.
Johnny Hayes, prodded by the Im
portance of the occasion, won the
Olympic marathon in the London
games in 1908. Hayes was the last
man to be selected for our marathon
team that year. He wasn't even con
sidered among the probable winners.
Rut, like Klrpo, he made good when
the supreme test came. Martin Sheri
dan in those same games surpassed
himself in the Greek style discus
throw. This was a style comparative
ly unfamiliar to Martin. On his last
throw, when apparently beaten. Sheri
dan summoned every muscle and
sinew In his body and hurled the
missle 124 feet S Inches for a new
world's record.
It was in these unforgettable
games, too. that Reggie Walker, a
little South African, sjieeded by
pressure of the golden effort, de
feated our,sprint star, Jimmy Rector,
in the 100 meters. It was an unex
j ccted victory. Asked tor sn ex
planation of his fine performance
Walker commented to a scribe. "You
can do anything if you've got to!"
Creighton Prep
Loses Hard Came
Cambridge High Tramps on
Local Boys to Tune of
16 to 0 Score.
Creighton Prep, with a number "f
their star players missing, due to in
juries received in the game With
South High lust week, suffered de
feat Friday afternoon in a game
played with Cambridge High. The
score was 16 to 0.
The Hllltoppers w*-re played off
their feet throughout the game ami
seemed unable to hold the visitors to
any advantage. The local boys were
unable to gain ground and made fits!
downs but four times during lho en
tire game.
Both teams relied on string lit root
ball, tile Cambridge Tioya finding It
very successful, while Creighton was
thrown for downs with regularity.
A. Master scored both touchdowns
for Cambridge, and Carroll wllh his
toe was responsible for I he extra
points stored by Ids team, liuvlng
kicked a goal after touchdown apd
booting a field -jW'.'d from the 80-yard
line. Sherman nnd It. Master also
starred for the visitors.
Forter, Itobertson and Hurt played
a good defenshe game for the local
boys and easily were the stars.
Creighton came near scoring In tin,
fourth quarter when the locals had
the hall on the visitors' six Ig'di line.
Cambridge's line proved n stone wall
and the locals lost the hall on downs

Phoenix Opens
New Race Track
Plan on Inaugurating an
Annual Race
Meeting.
Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 26.—At last
Arizona is to have a. legalized pari
mutuel race track.
Final arrangements havfe been made
for the opening of the track Novem
ber 12. The Initial meeting is planned
to run 24 days. The final plans are
rapidly being consummated.
Already more than 400 head of good
horses have arrived. All the stables
are very well filled, but room can be
found for about 50 head more.
The exceptionally adaptable climate
and the geographical possibility of
making an excellent track have com
bined to bring about the legislation
that made the new track possible.
No sooner had the track been de
clared open than some of the best
horses in the west appeared. Now
they are taking daily workouts and
appear to be In the best of condition.
William P. Kyne and W. W. Finn
are in charge of the track and it Is
expected that if this meeting proves
a success a regular 60-day winter
meeting will be inaugurated.
The horseman declare that the ideal
climatic condition makes it a perfect
place to condition a thoroughbred.
Another thing that may develop from
a success at this gathering is that a
string of such tracks may be opened
throughout the southwest and an an
nual series of events arranged.
Arrangements have been made to
secure the shite fair grounds. There
Is one of the finest grandstands in
the country there and the track is
standard, ons mile in length. This
track will not he used at this meet,
however.
Hotels are holding reservations
now to their capacity. Wide Interest
throughout the southwest has been
aroused over the opening.

Bluffs High to
Clash With Techs
Abraham Lincoln High eleven of
Council Bluffs put the finishing
touches on a week of hard preparation
for this afternoon's game with Omaha
Tech on the Thomui Jefferson atli
letic field, winding up the week's
work "ith a long, intensive signal
drill. The game will >>• called at 3
p. nt?
Coach Niggemeyer has been drilling
his team in the use of the aerial game
fn the hope of working up a pass at
tack that will bewilder the Tech de
fense to an extent that will force
them to spread and give his
hard-hilling hacks a chance to "do
their stuff," The long pass has re
ceived much attention and this,
coupled with tlie fact that Lincoln
has in M- Kane and Miller two pass
ers who are equally capable at either
the long or short pass, indicates that
Lincoln will have a splendid chance
to succeed in its line of battle The
team has also been provided with a
large bag of assorted tricks for the
general befoxxlement of the Tech
squad.
The line that showed to su- h good
advantage against Denison last Sat
urday has not been neglected. Hard
work In charging, blocking and tack
ling has been the order of the week
for the linemen. Coach Niggemeyer
expects the line to do even better
work against Tech than it did in the
Denison tussle.
Tigers Prejxire
for Contest If it It
Comhuakers
Columbia. Mo.. Oct. ;6.—The Tigers
are working hard behind closed gates
this week to give old Missouri a truly
representative t«rm when Nebraska
visit* Columbia Saturday Coach
fjwlnn Henry and hie squad are leav
ing no stone unturned in their prac
tice this week.
The secret practice is being used for
the first time this year. None but the
squad, coaches, trainer, a mascot and
two newspaper reporters were per
mitted to watch the Tigers pre|«are
for what is said to be the strongest
team in the valley.
“The Nebraskan* are powerful,”
aaid Assistant Coach Harry Lansing,
who scouted the game. “They would
have won the Kansas game had the
quarterback called Noble on a line
plunge Instead of < ailing a light man.”
The Nebraska team has only one
man on the line and one in the back
field to bring their average weight
higher than Missouri. The Corn
huskers. however, have not had a
satisfactory season to date, and they
will try their hardest against the
Tigers.
W hit cm an is being used in scrim*
mngf, which insures lvis starting the
Nebraska game unless he is injured
again this week. Bond was not out
in uniform yesterday but is plan
ning to Ik* in togs soon- Ills infected
toe still pains him. He expects to
be able to piny Saturday.
Fowler is still in poor condition.
He visited a knee specialist in Kan
sas t'ity last week Fowler has chang
ed bis c rut dies for a eanc. He will
probably be able to play In the Kan
sas \ggle game.
Adams, who broke his leg early in
the sc.ison. will not make any attempt
to play this year. If he gets into the
Kansas game for onl> a minute, he
would he marked with a year of ath
lete p\ remaining out of the Kansas
game—the only game he has a chance
to get in he will l»e able to play
two more >rar« of xarsdv football.
Saturday's hackfielj will probably
consist of Faund. Bond and W bite
man with cither St'siinHI or Moulder
c.illing signals, t istle. Wagner, Simp
son and fa steel will probably get a
chance to show their wares.
The Tigers ha\e lw*en until late
using the ghost 1h»H for more than
half an hour after dark.
Scrimmage is on the program daily
until tuditj when the Tigers wdl flu
ish up with a signal workout. The
Nebraskans are expected to arrive
hero this marning They will lin\e a
shirt workout on Kollins field this
i afternoon
