France Now Wants
M. Mallorv to Play
Relract Refusal Given to
American Olympic
Committee.
- i
Paris, Oct. 29.— France favors mak
ing Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory
eligible to represent the United States
in the 1924 Olympic games, despite a
recent ruling by the International
Olympic association at Lausanne that
she was ineligible. The French Olym
pic committee today Informed the
American Olympic committee 1 hat
should the latter forward a special
request to the International Olympic
committee asking that an exception
to the rule be made In favor of Mrs.
Mallory, they would warmly support
it.
The International committee in its
ruling held that Mrs. Mallory having
once represented Norway in the Olym
pic games, must play for Norway
next year or refrain from competi
tion.
Viewpoint Changed.
The viewpoint of the French com
mittee previous to that ruling was
that the regulation governing natur
alization of contestants in the gan^es
should not be applied In the case of
Mrs. Mallory. The Marquis de Polig
nao. pointed out today that the rule
was intended to prevent “rapid fire
naturalization.” and that it was
hardly likely a woman would marry
a citizen of another country merely
for the purpose of representing her
husbands country in the Olympic
games.
New York, Oct. 20.—The American
Olympic committee probably will take
no further steps to establish the ell
cibilify of Mrs. Molla Mallory, former
national women's tennis champion,
to represent the United States tn the
1921 Olympics, despite France's de
sire to have her compete, it was in
dicated tonight by F. IV. Rubien,
secretary of the American committee.
‘‘The rejection of our appeal by
thn executive committee of the inter
national Olympic commitw-e,” said
Mr. Rubien. "apparently closes Mrs.
Mallory's case.vso far as we are con
cerned, and I anticipate no further
action."
Mr. Rubien explained that it was
not until after the meeting of the
executive committee of the American
Olympic committee here last week, at
which the question of Mrs. Mallory's
eligibility was brought out, that he
received the ruling of the interna
tional committee.
Rejects American Amendment.
Specifically, he said, this ruling re
jected an amendment proposed by
America to the Olympic rule which
forbids competitors of any country
from qpnipeting for another nation in
the future. Under the amendment,
women like Mrs. Mallory, who have
(hanged their citizenship by mar
riage, would be given the option of
competing for their native land or
their husband's country. The inter
national committee. however, in
formed Mr. Rubien that it could not
accept the amendment, especially as
there was not sufficient time to have
it passed upon, even if its legality
were recognized.
Mrs. Mallory, the American com
mittee pointed out, although she rep
resented Norway in the 1912 Olmpies,
had been a resident of this country
since 1313, developing her game to
a large extent here and winning seven
national championship, Insides en
gaging in a number of international
competitions.
England. Mr. Rubien added, also
w.aa understood to endorse the desire
of France to have Mrs. Mallory enter
the Olympics.

Five of Big Ten
Are Contenders
Chicago. Oct. 29.—Five Big Ten
football teams trodded on gridirons
Saturday with unblemished records,
fought game and in some Instances
spectacular battles, upset some of (he
dope and trotted off still unbeaten.
The fact that a quintet of unde
feated elevens alt have a chance at
the championship with the season
half finished was due to the score
less tie of Minnesota, and Wisconsin,
representing the principal upset of
the day?
Minnesota, engaging in her first
conference contest was looked upon
as an almost sure loser to the Bad
gers, but ttie Gophers put up a flgftt
that taxed the Wisconsin team to
the utmost anil were never driven in-'
side their 25-yard line except on a
punt. Both teams put up a strong
defensive game and both tried passes
but witli no marked success,
Chicago, which got. a scare a week
ago, when the Maroons faced North
western, got another one when the
team met Purdue. Although Chica
go downed the visitors, 20 to 6, the
Boilermakers held the Maroons to
a 6 to 0 score in the first half and
cut loose with a brilliant, slashing
attack that forced Chicago to the
utmost to stem. Purdue failed to
gain consistently and although Chi
cago gained about three times as
much yardage and more than twice
as many first downs, the Maroons
were extended to win at all.
Illinois exhibited a smooth working
machine built arsund Grange, its
wild eyed sophomore, in winning
from Northwestern, 29 to 0. The
powerful running attack, driving de
fense tactics and neatly executed
passes showed lhe Illinois team to
be the strongest contenders for the
championship.
Iowa and Ohio State, both elim
inated from championship consider
ation. staged one of the surprises of
the day, when the Hawkeyes smoth
ered the Buckeyes, 20 to It. The de
feat placed Ohio in the second di
vision of conference teams and In
part, redeemed Iowa for its defeat of
tlie week previous at the hands of
Illinois.
Michigan ir^ a nonconference game,
had little trouble in disposing of the
Michigan Aggies, 37 to 0.

DAY
_
Alvin Wright asks who, in niv
opinion, "was the fastest big man.
say around or slightly under 200
pounds?" That is a difficult ques
tion fur any one to answer, and the
hackneyed echo is still aflylng—It Is
a matter If purely personal opinion.
Dan Ferris, one of the be«t critics
of athletes In the country, names
Karl Thomson, world's champion
hurdler. Thomson is my choice also,
I have never seen a man of the
Canadian's poundage step with such
amazing alacrity. Thomson with
in a few pounds of 200. He origin
ally aimed to be a sprinter and has
been credited with ten seconds flat
for the "century,” though not offi
cially. There is little question, how
ever, that Karl has negotiated the
distance in 10 1-5 seconds. This is
borne out by the fact that Ins 120
yard hurdles mark (ten obstacles) is
14 2-5 seconds. Also by his 1 IO
meter hurdle record, which is listed
at 14 4-5.
Charlie Paddock's 100-meter rec
ord is 10 2 5 seconds. Which gives
you a well defined idea of the rela
tive speed of the two men—Paddock
running a cl jar and shorter path
and Thomson tunning more than 20
yards longer with ten obstructions in
the path. The different e Is but 4 2 5
seconds.
Hut there are so many bulky men
who boast the rare combination of
beef and speed! Legendre, the all
around star, who now represents the
Newark. A. C , is a remarkable type.
The former Georgetown act is a
sijt footer and within a few pounds
of 200. Yet be is a in 2 5 man for
the hundred, and he has been cred
ited with 22 3 5 for the 200 meters,
and 23 seconds flat for the 22« yards.
Charlie Paddock's 200-meters record
is but i 2-5 seconds better than the
Newark giant’s effort. That gives
you a sufficient analysis of Hie burly
Kegendre’s speed.
Frederick \V. Rubien, secretary of
the A A. I . agrees with Dan Fer
ris that Karl Thomson is the fastest
of big men. Mr. Rublen, however,
was deeply impressed by the per
formance of l’aao Nurmi In the Ant
werp Olympics three years ago.
“Nurmi,” relates Mr. Rublen, "is
quite a big man, weighing perhaps
175 pounds or more, but he is hu
man lightning on the track. Consid
ering Karl Thomson’s additional
poundage, I am bound to name the
Canadian as the more astonishing of
the two. But the Finn has curious
speed for an individual of his pro
portions.”
Nurmi recently recorded the
world's mark for the mile at Stock
holm. liis time was 4 minutes 10
2-5 seconds. If accepted officially,
and It probably will be, it will dis
place Norman Taber’s record of 4
minutes 12 3-5 seconds, registered
eight years ago on the Harvard sta
dium track behind special pace
makers.
Jim Thorite, Hie Indian, perhaps
Hie greatest all around Mar the
world ever knew, ha* a Jrgoui "f
supporters as tin* nimblest of log
men. Thorite, a giant, was almost
equally profieient ill football, base
ball and track and field events lb
has been eloebed nt 10 seconds flat
in the 100-yard dash and In 22 3-5
seconds for the “two twentj In
pacli instance this Is two-fifths of a
second better than Iwgendre's marks
for these events.
The hurdles, it is interesting to
note, have frequently produced agile
big men. In addition to Thomson,
there Is Hob Simpson and the im
mortal Alvin C. Kranzlein, the won
der of twenty-five years ago, whose
records still stand. An authority of
the time describing his *tyle writes:
“No one who ever saw Kranzlein
run could fail to be impressed by his
superabundant litheness and 'spring.'
He w.ui tail and very slim, wifti
slender legs, and not an ounce of
superfluous weight on him. His
stvle was ultra-typical of latter-day
hurdling form.
“He apparently took very little no
tice of the hurdles—simply stepping
over them, so to speak, as they
came. Then was none of that tense
ms- and ‘bearing on’ which the spec
tator feels in watching many run
ners of a heavier and more power
ful build. The man simply romped
down the track as easily a« a grey
hound might romp across a clover
field. Spring and not strength, was
most apparent, it seemed simply,
that he was built that way.”
Speed is not testrirted to sprint
ing Hath sport requires a special
kind. The ">pring" referred to by
the writer is the quality that passe*
for *p •.l in iMixing. Jack Dempsey*
is not a wonderful runner, but he
lias “spring-speed,'' lithe muscular
action, in abundance. He moves
swiftly, almost like a lightweight,
around his opponents, lie is an as
toundingly ppeedy person for a big
man—as fast in his line as Karl
Thomson is in hurdling.
Jim Jeffries, the former heavy
weight champion, a colose us of -20
pounds, was remarkably fast when
in his prime. The report was even
circulated that "The Grizzly" had
dashed the hundred yards in ten sec
onds flat- Tills was probably a press
agent's yarn, athough Jeff coud per
haps turn in 12 seconds. Tommy
Burns, another former heavy cham
pion, weighing ISO, was also a spry
big man. Burns developed speed
playing lacrosse before taking up
fighting. Jim Corbett, Jack O'Brien
and Char.lie Weincrt were all heavy
weights gifted in a remarkable de
gree with the quality of "spring
speed"—the bewildering rapidity of
their movements.
FTank Goteh and Hu eke n Schmidt
stand out in bold relief as the burly
speedsters of the wrestling game.
Both were quick as cornered bob
cats. Goteh once downed Mahmout.
the Turk, in eleven seconds by a
swiftly executed trick. Goteh came
out of his corner like a sprinter and
hurled himself football tackler's fa
shion just above the Turk's knees.
The 'brisk strategem caught Mah
tnout unawares. Gotcli pinning hui
shoulders to the mat witlieut delay.
Hacketisclmildt, a 200-pound muscu
lar marvel, was an expert acrobat as
well as a champion wrestler. Hike
Goteh, he figured his natural sliced
and strength would make him a
great boxer. Hack w ent Into train

Starting with a rush, Missouri put
over a touchdown—the first time the
Tigers had crossed the Huskers' goal
line since 1SD9. Then Captain Lewel
lyn jumped into the game, despite
stiff neck, and saved the day for Ne
braska. Intercepting a Missouri
pass he raced 60 yards to a touch
down that enabled his team to tie
the score. Thereafter x neither side
could summon enouch strength to
break the deadlock.
The Kansas Aggies clearly out
played their opponents, except w-hen
they battered against the Kansas
goal line. There the Jayhawkers
held firm.

T1IRHE have been great moments
in history that have never been
split into seconds by dockers.
One was during that wonderful
game between Rutgers and Pansy
university In 1*3:. In those days
football was played with the flying
wedge, the hurdle and other Imple
ments of sudden sickness.
It was one of those games where
they take no prisoners.
It was played on the edge of the
great Indian lands, where the buf

numbers.

P„ny he suddenly heard a traffic

Ikiv friends start pulling and tugging
around on a vacant lot. He saw- them
slugging, biting and chewing. He
turned sadly away, localise he knew
the Indian's world was at an end.
