son. a former University oi Illinois I
athlete, who is athletic director at j'

Track and field athletic!, are pro
moted successfully in the tat be
cause athletes are imported from
other sections to meet the best in
the district in which the events arc
held. The inter.scctional rivalry at
tracts attention of the athletically
inclined public, who arc always at
tracted by an event in which inter
actional supremacy is at Make.
lor years Kay has been going
east. He runs as many as four or
five races eafh year in New York
city and seldom fails to put in an
appearance in the big meets in Bos
ton and Philadelphia. Kvcry time he
steps on the track be is greeted with
tremendous applause. Those who
promote these meets know Joics
drawing powers and they always
match him with the best thcxeast
can produce.
Ray a Magnet to Fans. s
Ray's appearance at the Drake sta
dium will be the magnet for fans
who would not attend the games
otherwise and Director Wilson and
Drake university are to be congrat
ulated on making this move. Ray
will bring more than enough in at
the gate to defray his expenses be
sides making the games more popu
lar. Watson lias a great opportunity,
although be hardly can be expected
to beat the fleet tricolor star. Many
an athlete has been made overnight
and Watson will be the most talked
of amateur athlete in the country if
he is successful in breasting the tape
ahead of one of the greatest run
ners this country has ever seen.
The former Kansas Aggie runner
had better make up his mind to get
in shape to run the mile in 4:20 or
better. If lie cannot cover the dis
tance in this time he will not have
a chance. Practically every time
loie runs a mile race, it is a safe bet
he will do a 4:20 pace of better. H
he docs not have to run another race
on the same day and if conditions arc
favorable, 4:16 or bcttcf is not haul
for him.
Watson a Good Runner.
Ray holds the world's indoor one
mile record at 4:l4 3-5. He made
this mark in Chicago in 1919. The
outdoor record is 4:12 3-5 and was
made by Norman Tabor at Cam
bridge in 1915. Joie has come within
fractions of a second of Tabors,
mark, but he has never cracked the
record, which is the goal of his" am
bitions. Watson is a good mile runner.
He was a ' consistent point winner
for his college and .considered one
of the best intercollegiate perform
ers in the country during his col
lege career. He may give Ray a
great race for part of the distance,
but he will be compelled to show
more sfeed and endurance than he
ever did before to beat the Chlca
goan. , .
Aside from the match race be
tween Ray and Watson, other events
scheduled for the universities, col
leges and hitrh schools should make
this vear's Drake games the most
...cf..i n-ff held. In fact, so
aiivvao.m .
many nominations have been re
ceived for the prep school events
that Director Wilson has decided o
run two events for the high schools.
Big Ten Teams in Meet.
The majority of the Big Ten uni
versities will send teams or repre
sentatives to the games, while the
Missouri Valley will support the
event almost to a college. The Pcnn
relays will be held on the same day.
Ikar for Punishment.
Xew York. April 15. Crude as

ican heavyweight, battered Toe Mc

of Newark, into 11 state of help
lessness at the Broad A. C. in New

Firpo did not do nearly so well
agsinst McCann as be did when
he put away Sailor Maxted in the
same ring three weeks ago. But he
proved he can take punishment and
can give it despite his crudity of
form, .

Out at N'otre Dame the eleven trird

live yard line and was Micccs.-fiil in
three of the attempts. Twice drop

passes used one was successful. Kx
periments show that the drop kick
will he the means of scoring used.
At Harvard Coach Fisher has of
fered a prize for the best drop kick-'
cr in order to encourage experts lor
this play.
Polly Wallace to Coai-li
Iowa Falls High School
A. L. (Polly) Wallace, star loot
ball player and wrestler at Ames col
lege, was elected athletic coach of
Iowa Falls High school at a meet
ing of the school directors. Wallace
will succeed Forest C. Greenwood.
Wallace is one of the best-known
athletes in the state, as he was an
all-state center on the Ames football
team two years and wrestled for two
seasons and part of a third. Iowa
Falls' football schedule is nearly
completed, so Wallace will not have
to worry about that.
Soccer Stars Come High
Michael Gilhoolcy, the Scottish in
ternational center halfback and Hull
City captain, has been transferred to
the Sunderland club. The transfer
fee is a record one, exceeding $25,
000. This demonstrates that the
soccer teams arc awaking to the
value of first-class talent.
TEE,FAII&W
America's Best Amateurs
Johnston.
ON'CE attended a heavyweight
championship prize fight to see
the huse champion of fistiana in
I
action. In the first round his fist
whizzed past his opponent's face with
such terrifying force that the wind,
it seemed, almost blevy the other
fighter over backward.
The bout ended officially in the
second round, but in reality it ended
the instant that great, mauling fist
was "slammed through the air a
thousandth of an inch or so from
the other fellow's chin. That effort,
though wasteds revealed to all of us,
and particularly to the fighting op
ponent up there in the ring, just how
the champion went about his busi
ness. Ho was a hard fighter, pos
sessed of a grim look and the deter
mination that meant a hard day for
any one who contested his might.
When I think of Harrison John
ston of St. Paul, who is, in my
opinion, the seventh best, amateur
golfer in America today, I instinct
ively think of the afternoon when I
beheld that powerful slash of the
prize-fighting champion's list. There
is nothing about Johnston to suggest
the professional pugilist, but some
how his whole game reminds me of
that one terrific, powerful punch.
Johnston is a hard golfer. He plays
the game hard. He steps up to his
shots with a hard, set face and he
hits his ball a hard, resoundiiiR blow
that sends it almost unbelievable dis
tances. I saw him drive his ball
over 400 yards in the western ama
teur championship in Chicago last
summer. I managed to beat him in
the semi-final of the western amateur,
but I had as Rood a golf edge on
that day as I ever have been pos
sessed of or 1 should not have been
able to do it.

Dan (VLcary, Past 80,
Can Still Walk Some
Dan O'f-earv, the walker, who is
now past SO years of age, beat lid
ward Payson Weston, the fanjous
soldier walker, three times in six-day
go-as-you-please events. O'Lcary
won in 1875 in Chicago, covering
503 miles to Weston's 451 1-2; beat
him again in London in 1877, trav
ersing 520 to Weston's 510 miles,
and the last time at San Francisco
in 1880, when O'Lcary covered 525
to the soldier's 499.
Wants Rules to Stand.
Xcw York, April 15. Ralph Mor
gan, secretary of the Intercollegi
ate Basket ball league, is not in fa
vor of any of the suggested changes
in the present system of scoring foul
goals. He wants the present rule
continued. As to the so-called evil of
the expert foul shooter, Mr. Morgan
points out that every team has an
equal chance to develop such a sure
shot and that the presence of this
caliber of player is a constant threat
"rock 'em and sock 'cm" offense.
s
Sitembcr Johndlon had Improved his
RQine a Int. The word pasned around
at tha tournament that a whale of a
golfer from St. Paul waa likely to be
among the fireworks at the finish
Johnston was the man who waa meant.
Then this auperb ahooter stepped forth
and downed the great star of the east,
Francis Oulmet. With that victory John
aton established himself thoroughly as
one of America's leading amateurs. I
question In my own mind if his gama isn't
worth perhaps a higher rating for him
In my list of the leading amateurs, but
I cannot In fairness to the others give
it to him right now. He has no cham
pionship except that of the slate of Min
nesota to his credit. However, It should
bo explained that he Is very young and
was not a championship contender until
last summer. He no doubt will be on
this year at Brookllne with a bagful of
stuff that will "be hard to beat. John
ston is one of the youngsters of the game
who Is of championship timber and Just
as likely to take It this year as any
other time.
Johnston has a most peculiar way of
addressing his ball, t have never seen
any other aJayer go about things In
quite the way he doss It. He rests his
ilub head-just inside the ball in the ad
dress and to see him getting ready for
a, swing you would think he would surely
miss the ball entirely on the down stroke.
But he fools you. He not only hits It,
but he connects with It for a terrible
wallop. He has a fine ability to put a
touch of pull or slice on the far end of
his drive, too. I noticed A golfer Is In
the finlshed-off class Indeed when he does
this at will. It is a useful ability In
curving around dog leg holes, especially
for the very long driver of Johnston's
style.
With this peculiar manner of driving
unfortunately I did not feel that 1 knew
him Intimately enough to Inquire just
why he did it tjiat way he also uses a
palm grip of his club for long pushes
on the ball. The reader can perhaps get
a picture of how mightily this hoy goea
at his gam from that significant fact
at out his grip.
Johnston nevertheless Is a sterling shot
maker. In the western amateur he turned
in a qualifying card of 141. which tied
him with Rudy Knepper. His opening
chapter at the Westmoreland event last
yar was a ?e. which is a low csrd in
deed for the first time over that testing
course.
Johnston's facial expressions and his
style Of play Indicate that he means busi
ness c-n the course, and every time he
looks in his opponent's direction his whole
manner will flash the tip that he is out
to win and doesn't intend to be b-aten if
he ran help it. There Is nothing rem.
monplace about Johnston on the links, lie
ha ait the earmarks of a coming cham

mentor of an un- ' .

The douly, dour ITaiBOSK Photo.l
Scotchman, who learned his football
as a Minnesota quarterback, is a
reticent fellow, and paid as little at
tention to the plaudits heaped on him
after the winning battles of this
season as he did to the questioning
attitude of Cornell followers before.
He held no receptions in College hall
of a Saturday night after big foot
ball triumphs, but frequented his
regular night stand, the downtown
cigar store, where the results conic
in from other varsity games.
Trevious to this season Cornell's
athletic traditions had centered main
ly on the crew, coached by ''Dad"
Courtney, and the track team,
coached by Jack Moakley, and Dobie
is supposed to have said early this
season to a questioner: "How dos
my line compare to last year's? What
line? All I had last year were Kam
and Mayer, the fellows who couldn't
be used for crew or. track."
Dobie encourages his men to play
soccer and lacrosse after the foot
fall season, to develop wind, endur
ance and speed.
Golt Facts

Battle of the Century.
The one thing that stands out
most .strongly when we gaze back
or that "battle of the century" is
that it wa the most wonderfully
hu'lt no fistic engagement of all
time. It mattered not that Carpen
tier wasn't a worthy rival for Jack
Dempsey. It mattered not if niuc
teuths of those fans who sat at the
Jersey City ringside that afternoon
la--t Mimmcr expected to happen
what actually did happen the
knockout of the Frenchman.
Taking the words out of the mouth
of a ringside fan explains rather
plainly why this fan paid $50 for a
"' 'Z '"Tr ,,i "X :
.,: ;j . . .:i i -i.:
idental expenses, which amounted
.7 - - " . . .
to no small sum. in order to be
i'.mong those present. Here's what
I he said:
International Phase.
''It was worth the money 1 spent
just to be able to say that I was one
of those present at the greatest fistic
attraction ever held. I did not think
that Carpentier had a chance to beat
Dempsey. I even believed that the
champion would knock out the
Frenchman in the first round, and I
really believe that be could have
done so if he had wanted to end the
fight in a hurry. It looked too much
on sided for me to even consider it
a betting proposition, so I didn't
wap;er a dime on the match."
It was the international phase and
the wonderful "build up" that caused
this feeling. Despite the fact that
Carp was a 1 to 3 shot, the boosters
for the "show" did admirable work
in assisting Keams and Dempsey in
the promotion business. Few hesi
tated to say that Carpentier was no
match for Dempsey, but, as was
natural, all agreed that it would be
a great holiday show, regardless of
the result of the bout. It was a great
show, vp admit. I
Firpo Making Strides.
But this punching out words on
the subject of building tip leads us j
to the thought that after Dempsey
returns from Europe he mav find
that the promoters have "built up"
another rival for him. This fellow is
another foreigner, and thev sure do
make grand material for the boost
ers. His name is Luis Firno and be
comes from Argentina, in South
America. Firpo is in New York at
present, and they sav he looks like
the "stuff." But if Firpo is to be
built up for Dempsey, his handlers
and promoters will have to see
that he is kept out of the way of
some of the tough fellows. They
probably are smart enough to do
that; but even if he does "reach up"
to a match withthe world's cham
pion, it is pretty certain that the
fans will not fall over themselves to
pav their coin to see the bout.
If this match is made possible, they
mav look on it as a "setup" for
.Tack and not as an attraction,. which
is a contradictory stand for which
the fans are noted.
Buff to Risk Title.

Jersey Senate Bans
Big Prize Fights
and Limits Prices
The New Jersey senate passed a
bill which probably ends champion
ship fights in New Jersey and bars
the proposed Dempsey-Wills battle
from that state.
The bill was introduced by As
semblyman William W. Evans of
Passaic county. It limits the price
ofadmission to boxing matches to a
$15 maximum. The bill also re
quires tint applications for boxing
licenses be filed with the state
athletic commission 10 days before
any bout and that all officials con
nected with the exhibition be resi

The last requirement bars the
New York promoters, especially
Frazee. who has made the high bid
for the Dempsey-Wills bout, and
will, in effect, make junk of the bi

May JO, will drive car No. 13, it was
said here today.
Twelve driver entered the race
ahead of Reid and. as has been done
for several years, T. E. Myers, mana
ger of the speedway, planned to eli
minate the number 13. Reid, how
ever, insisted that he be given the
number and the speedway official
consented. Mr. Myers said a car
bearing No. 13, had not started in
the contest since 1913.
Reid is due to arrive in Indian
apolis on May 4 to begin training
for the race. He already has been
granted a driver's license by the
American Automobile association,
under whose rules the Indianapolis
race is conducted. The only other
requisite for competing in the local
race is ability to drive., a racing car
to the satisfaction of the speedway
officials.
The executive of a motion picture
concern for which Reid has been
acting has declared that he will not
permit the actor to compete in the
race if it is "humanly possible to
stop him." Reid, however, is said
to have asserted he intends to go
through with his plans.

Never let the rubber work his fing

is good for you. Kneading the

I very seldom have a rub. Never,
in fact, unless my legs are knotted

to do is to rest up for a while. I

Huggius Must Be Ross.
? New York, April 15. Miller J.
Muggins is receiving $15,000 a year
for managing the Yankees, cham
pions of the American league. If
he docs not enforce the rules of
discipline and permits the players lo
ride over him rough shod his serv
ices will not be worth a dollar, says
a critic of the game. Muggins evi
dently knows that this season it will
be a case of sink or swim and that, in
order to hold his position, he must
assert his authority in a way that
will command the respect of the
players.
Princeton Gridsters Train.
Princeton, N. April 15. The
first ofr a series of spring football
practice has been held here on Bro
kaw field under favorable Weather
conditions. Head Coach Bill Roper
was on hand ,to give the 80 odd can
didates reporting a short drill in
signals, during which several new
formations were introduced.
they were easily "keyed up." The
fact that a man has been tlefcated
before should not, however, play
upon his nerves when he is entering
an event. It takes many defeats to
bring forth steady wins.
, Watch the champions take their
marks if you are troubled by your
nerves. Sec the steady, purposeful
expressions on their faces. Note how
the nervousness that is there is under
perfect control. Not until the gun
is fired will it be released. Then,
however, it will break forth, assisting
rather than hindering in the race.
It will become a tremendous driving
force, going greater as the finish is
reached.
"Punishing."
Finally, I would like to say some
thing to beginners abount "punish
ing" themselves. By that I mean
really giving all that is in you to the
race. Every man has greater reserve
strength than he knows strength
which he cannot bring forth without
tremendous will power and muscular
effort. Yet the athlete must bring
forth much of his reserve strength if
he is to become a champion. Watch
the expressions on sprinters' faces
when they are "punishing" them
selves and my meaning will be clear.
SeJ jaws and facial muscles that ap
pear horribly contracted are but the
outward sign of the "drive" that is
going on inside the champion's body.
When you are able to "punish" your
self, and not until then, will you be
able to give all you have to the race,
no matter how short the distance
may be.
Q- My ankles seem to wahlile at the
finish of my rarrs. Should I wear ankle
braces? F. O., Des Moines. Is.
A. Try taping your Insteps. I wouldn't
dviae ankle braces unless your ankles are
very weak or unless jou are hurdling.
Q. Do you b-iieve In Jumping at the
taps? Otorge L., Lincoln.
A. Ves. hut unless ynti have had lots
of etpeiienee at finishing, you unques
tionably are apt to lose time In your at
tempt to throw your chest at the tape. It
la a hard thing to do. hut If done right,
will win many close races.

Time Makes the Star.
When the outfielder is touted from
I the southern ramps as a "ceoinl v

it required several seasons to de
velop the liforKia reach out of the
bud Hugh Jennings puked iilm-t

to a great player do much more
harm than good by raising false. c
pcetations. . l'art of the fans, who believe .ill
that is written by loo zealous or in

sort of abused and peeved if the
press-agentrd rookies are not trotted
out right from the start of a pen
nant campaign, and blame the man
agers fr-r keeping tried veterans m
the lineup, with wonderful recruils
on the bench. I have had many let
ters from rooters each year demand
ing a "roast" for the manager for
not giving some highly touted lad
a chance. .
Publicity Spoils Rookies.
Of course, the youngsters with
strong hearts and good ' noodles
weather this rough going at the be
ginning of a season all right. They
understand why they are kept in
the background, unless rniergcncy
calls them into play, until they have
learned the major league game.
Some of them who lack confidence
are ruined as far as fast company
is concerned. The kind that acquires
swelled heads almost never suc
ceeds after over-exploitation. That
kind of a rookie believes the man
ager is against him and starts .sulk
ing, nor will he listen to advice, or
teaching by any one.
Such a case was that of Flame
Delhi, the coast pitcher obtained by
the White Sox some years ago. By
the time he reached Chicago, after
being heralded all spring as a world
beater, be knew more baseball' than
even Comiskcy. He never got any
where and would have been forgot
ten entirely if King I.ardner had not
made him immortal under a dii-
ferent name as the original 'iou
Know me, Al."
Cites Killinger's Case.
This spring we have had lhe case
of Glenn Killinger, one of the best
college athletes of the last two or
three years. He was blazoned every
where "as ready for the big leagues
immediately; predictions were made
that he would rank with George Sis
ler in no time at all. From the Yankee
camp in the south all kinds of praise
was flashed home, only to end when
the brilliant voung man was farmed
out to a minor league for experience.
It will be a shame if the over-zealous
touts have lost to baseball an
other great player by breaking Kil
linger's heart.
