Greatest Evil in I College Sports Recomirierids Two-Year Physi cal Training Program for Development of Com petitive Games. By Associated Press •P^TJEW YORK, Dec. I B30.— Establishment | lof a uniform cods ) amateurism and ^ladoptlon of strict eligibility rules among colleges was urged today by Brig. Gen. Palmer E. Pierce, presi dent, In his annual ,/report to- the Na tional Collegiate Athletic associa tion. The association, said, has hml considerable trouble attempting to en force the amateur rule in some parts of the country, the aim of which is to prevent undergraduates from par ticipating In athletic activities for financial gain. Playing of summer baseball is the most difficult problem, he said. Pointing to the opportunity for the colleges to prevent “the physical deterioration of our cltlaenry,” Gen eral Pierce urged adoption of physical training programs of at least two years’ duration and development of competitive sports on both an inter collegiate end Intramural basis. The value of college training In de veloping Olympic champions was stressed In an address by Maj. John D. Griffith, commissioner of athletics In the Western conference. lie point ed out that 195 points of America’s track and field total of 255 In the 1924 Olympics were scored by college trained men. Of the others, 15 were accounted for by noncollege or school athletics, 16 by high school stars and 29 by teams. Illinois, whose gradu ates rolled up 35 points, led In pro ficing Olympic stars, his figures flowed, while Southern California was next with 31 points. S»Thls analysis led Major Griffith to »j|)ggest to the American Olympic Jmmlttee that In preparing for the 28 games, high school talent be Ifen opportunities in the final team (flection trials and that the National (Jbllegiate Athletic association's title ljjlpet serve as a preliminary (jualifl Atlon test for all college men. .tin the vast majprlty of Instances, &t physical examination which'doe* (fit include a routine! e*f>Minat1d« of SM blood and urine, la rtf little value.

The Townsends, composed mainly of Tech alumni, seemed t". be further advanced than their opponents, es pecially at passing.

Horse Racing Enjoys Successful Year in Omaha During 1924 Campaign IN looking back over the pages of 1924, It is very evident that rac ing as a sport has eclipsed any previous year. Throughout the t’nlt cd States, during tho last year, it has been demonstrated beyond question there isn't any sport that has made such a wonderful comeback as has been shown in the Sport of Kings. In Nebraska, the lovers of harness horses and the thoroughbreds had a wonderful opportunity to enjoy some of the.very best contests that were eveb staged in tho middle west Wherever racing has been conducted with a view of making it a sporting event, such as wo have held In tho state of Nebraska, the puhlle is bound to appreciate the fact end pa tronize the sport. The wonderful strides and progress that have been made in the class of meetings that have been held at Ak Rar Ben field Indicate greatly that a large nuiiher of our sport loving men like to see the horses come down the stretch in an effort to establish their su premacy. During the spring running races In June, there wore more than BOO of the runners that participated In the Ak-Sar-Ren events and In Sep tember, during the fall festival meeting, there were four track records broken, which demonstrat ed beyond question the class of horses that were engaged. In July a harness meeting was staged at Ak Sar Ren field and lov ers of that kind of sport never had an opportunity to see larger fields and better conducted racing than was seen at that meeting. It would not be right In speaking of racing In Nebraska, not to men tion our own Marvin Childs who has. without doubt, demonstrated his wonderful training ability with the harness horses as has been shown during the last five years op tlyt Grand circuit. Hoy Ov-ens, anothey’ one of otir harness horse trainers, has shown his ability in this line throughout the Great Western cir cult. Kveryone Is looking forward to 1925 with a view of seeing at Ak Sar Hon field seme of the best horses that are In training and will have an opportunity to enjoy their kind of sport to the fullest extent.

Tlic Blues dropped tile first game of tlie season to the fast I’niversity of Minnesota quintet by the close j margin of 29 to 24, due largely to their inability to hang the leather on tlie rim. The Omahans had plenty of j chances to score, several of them from right beneath the basket, but the ball refused to stay caged. Even "Ike" Mahoney, good old re liable "Ike." who ha* always In the paM been a scoring factor, failed to register in the Minnesota game, and Coach Schabinger Intends that his eagers shall he prepared to shoot from anv angle when the Drake squad Invades Omaha. In a long scrimmage practice Mon day the Blues worked along smoothly and once within scoring range gen eralljr hit tlie netted hoop for a goal. The regulars were hitting on all six. and one of the recruits, a diminu five youngster named Brown, who hails from Council Bluffs, kept up j the good work he started in the Min- 1 nesota game, and looks like a dan- 1 gerous man at forward. He has the speed, fight, and knack j of slipping the hall through the hoop, hut what he needs l* experience In university basket ball. The Creighton guards, Spelcher j and Corneman, came through with | what wearers of the Blue had pre- ! dieted of them, and Schabinger has; little to worry on that score. This brace of barricading stars i kept the Minnesota score down by j heady, aggressive defensive work.' and barring Injuries, should be aj strong cor in the Creighton machine; for the rest of the season. The Blues will get Into scrimmage I again tonight and Wednesday night, | with a light workout promised for j Thursday and Friday. JOHNNY JONES TO PORTLAND CLUB Clearwater. Fla., Dee. 30.—Charles) H.
