Front In College
Athletics

Pat Wylic. a last years Friends
School man. is making good with a
vengeance on tho Lchigh College in
door track team He has been enter
cd In three OF {, the collegiate events
and has surprised even his foncCst
admirers by landing first honors in
his three efforts. Before attending
the Quaker school he was student
at Wilmington High. and while he
showed rare speed on the gridiron, as
quarterback he failed to do any
running az all.
His latent ability was not noticed
until he started TO Friends, where he
played a few basketball games with
the varsity. and the remainder with
the second string men. The speedy
manner In which he cayorted atound
the wooden way soon attracted the
attention OF Coach Ross. and he de-
termlnod TO give him try out with
a relay team as a pace setter, he sent
him over the indoor track, day after
day. and the wonderful dormant
ability Of the lad was soon discovered
and developed.
He tried for tho relay quartet,
which was TO represent the locals at
the Penn races. aud made coed iin-
shing third after n pretty race, Whilo
running at Franklin field he made a
creditable showing covering the
ground like veteran. and giving his
mates a FIVE year lead During all Of
the meets last year. Pat WAS strong
contender and time and again he
forged the Blue and White lads ahead
by sensational sprint on tho homo
stretch
He crowned his short career in
Friends annual June field events,
when he smashed two records in big
league style He showed his heels
In the 100 yard dash, against classy
field. and lowered the figures to
10 i-0 seconds where they are likely
to stand for some time Pat was
pushed hard In the century by Lind
say. the crack ground burner, and it
was Lindsay's perspirinp form that
helped shove Pat across the tape, a
record breaker.
Now that he has made the indoor
team. the fleetfootod New Castle resi-
dent. has q glitterlng chance to make
the regular outside track quartet II

high coach says he VIII, he Will once
more appear at the Penn Relays. moi

During the last few weeks the fight
critics throughout the country have
been severely roasting Johnny Cou-
Ion, the bantamwclght champion. for
not giving Kid Williams. the Balu-
more cyclone, a crack at the title.
The real facts in the case. however,
are that Johnny has not been in the
best Of health lately and the loss
OF his father who was the best pal

him in the best of spirits.
Coulon is feeling some better now

EXPECT 800 MEN
AT TN.B.A.TOURNEY
Gathering Of BowlerS at
Rochester Next Month to
be One Of Biggest

ROCHESTER, =. Y. March 13.--
With but two more weeks for the
filing OF entries IN the tournament OF
the National Bowling Association, TO
be held here from April Sd TO 22d,
inclusive, the local managers of the
tourney are very optimistic concern
ing the size OF the entry. Instead of
a 2O0-team tournament, as they fig
ured on at first, Il is believed now
that the entries viii run close to the
800 mark. as encouraging reports are
heard from all parts OF the \. b. A.
territory.
A tournament OF that size would
be r big success, considering the
short notice that was given local
bowlers for preparation and adyertis-
ing.
Entries Will close on March 22d,
two weeks hence Major Gage, secre-
tary and local manager of the tour
namcnt already has promises OF large
entries from cities IN this section,
and the actual entries TO date are
more numerous than is usual at this
time
Buffalo promises to do itself proud
in the size OF its entry to this tour
nament At first II was believed that
thirty fve-man teams would be all
that could be expected from that city,
but visit to Buffalo by Secretary
Gage and a conference with the alley
owners OF that city encourages him
TO believe that at least twice that
number of teams will be sent here by
/ Buffalo. The alley owners, seventy
five strong. met this week and each
/ promised at least one team. while
several alleys will have from four
to eight teams in the local event.
Two Buffalo nights will be set
aside II Buffalo lives up to its prom
Use as regards entries.
A special match between the Nal
tops, champions of the State League
and William Cordes' Brunswick
Stars Of New York. is practically as
sured during the tournament Messrs
Gage Cordes and Britt held a con-
ference this week and arranged terms
and conditions The date OF the
match will be announced later.
The arrangement OF the schedule
has been taken IN by Secretary Gage
and teams desiring special dates
should make applications at once, as
the good dates are being filled rapid
lily.
An elaborate scoring system Will b'
Installed FOR the tournament. a
score board will be hung over the pi

be connected by telephone with th'
