I B30.— Establishment

) 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.

NEW’ YORK, Dec. 30.—Jackson
V. Soholz, Olympic 200-meter
champion, and the only Amer
ican to capture first place in the flat
running events at the Ports games
last July, will open his indoor cam
paign this season at the Mil I rose A.
A. games in Madison Square Garden
January 27 and 28. It also' will mark
his first competitive appearance in
the United States since his Olympic

Seholz has just arrived In San
Francisco from the Orient where he
appealed In exhibitions with Emer
son Norton, another Olympic star.
Wiring from the const today hi* ac
ceptance of their invitation to race
here. Soholz notified Millrose officials
he would stop for training at his
alma mater, Missouri university, be
fore coming east. It was at Missouri
that Seholz first gained sprinting
fame, holding the Missouri Valley
conference championship. He now
wears the colors of the New York A.
C.
Loren Murchison, king of indooi j
sprinters last season, will not rival
Seholz this season because of his
trip to the far east, but the Newark
A. C. flier will have unusually strong
opposition, nevertheless. Alf Leconey.
Louis Clarke, Frank Hussey nnd
Chester Bowman, all members of the
Olympic team are exported to face
Seholz in the Millrose sprint events
which include a series at short dis
tances and a 300-ynrd special.
Townsend Five
Trim? Techy 20-10
Th“ Tech ha»l;et hall quintet re
opened its cage practice after the
holidays with a game with the Town
sends Monday evening at the Tech
gVfn, The itfaroqp and White show
ed the effects of a week's layoff and
was taken to a handy trimming by
the Gunners, the final score being,
20 to 10.
The Maroon and White, which hns
been rather highly touted, seemed
weak on both offense and defense, al
lowing several good chances to score
slip by nnd giving its opponents some
easy tinder-basket shots which the
Townsends took advantage rf.
The Tech starting lineup found
Othmer at center, Charnqulst nnd
Nelson at the forwards and Captain
Hohn and Milhollin holdjug down
the guard positions. This combina
tion worked most of the first half
nnd held the winners to a 9-7 ad
vantage at the intermission. Dur
ing the second period Drummond sent
in Engle, Swenson and Knight at
Intervals and the Gunners rung up
several baskets in quirk succession.
The Townsends, composed mainly
of Tech alumni, seemed t". be further
advanced than their opponents, es
pecially at passing. The work of
Wiesenberg and Shoemaker at the
guards was largely instrumental In
keeping down the Maroon and White
score, while Kuhry, Strlhhs and
Kasper worked the hail down the
floor well.

By Associated
Berkeley, cat* r>ec. 30,—An
Invading parly of some 125,
constating of the Pennsylvania
varsity football squad, its coaches
and trainers, the campus hand and a
number of fervid rooters, arrived here
today on the Overland Limited and
made the final grim preparations for
battle tilth the University of Cali
fornia Nciv Year's day.
More than 500 California students
met the Quakers and cheered them as:
worthy foes. The Pennsylvania band
led the march to a hotel.
Coach Lou Young took the squad
to the - California stajllmn thH after
noon and efforts were made to smooth
ml the kinks of travel. The Quaker
mentor was no overly optimistic.
"We are going Into the game not
In the best of shape." he explained.
"Our regular ends and a first call
taekle are out wtih Injuries. We
have encountered miserable weather
since the game with Cornell and have
had practically no practice since
Thanksgiving day."
He planned to give the boys an
other workout tomorrow.
Couch At)dy Smith of California
sent his men through a final ehsv
practice today. It was mostly drill
In signals, with a little punting and
passing. Erom tonight until time
for the kickoff the Bears' program
calls for rest. The conch is guarding
against "staleness."
The stadium was soggy today from
an nil night rain. The skies were
threatening today and there was con
siderable apprehension regarding the
weather Thursday.

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.
Extensive Improvement Noted
in Work of Cardinal Hoopsters
□ HARO two hours* practice

ankle to such an extent that he had
to leave the scrimmage and watch
the rest of the practice from the

sult of the earnest hall that was
the order last night.
The Creighton freshmen will he
taken on later In the week, and
Tiion s Jefferson high of Council

the week Is tip. and probably a cou
ple more teams will be engaged to
i fill out tho remaining practice day*.
And during the week* games
Conch Adams will emphasize offense

ways to go before a steady, power

ium will he the
scene of inten
sive basket ball
practice this
week, as Coach
Schabinger o f
the Hilltop Has
keteers plans to
leave the second
game of the sea-1
son, that with
the Drake five
at t?ie Hlueja* gjin Saturday night,
with a victory.
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.
