Says Training Methods Have
Helped American Suprem-
acy in Sports.
NEWS IN ATHLETIC CIRCLES

"There are two great reasons why
the American athletes rule the world.
One is that they put their whole
heart and soul into the work of con-
ditioning their bodies for their con-
tests. and the other Is that they have
the advantage of training by trainers
who are without peers"
This was the opinion of DR.. Otto
Herschmann. president of the Aus
trian Olympic committee and one OF
the foremost athletic authorities In
Europe.
1--WE used to have the idea in Eu-
rope" said DIR. Herschmann. that
If a man was a natural athlete, II
wasn't necessary for the trainer to
devote much attention to him, and
that the only men who needed any
amount of coaching were men who
| had only the appearance or athletes
and no skill whatever.
"But we have learned, through bit.
ter experience, in the last two Olym-
pic meets. that we We're wrong, anc
that the American system OF train
ing every athlete all the time was
the only right way.
1T do not think that the unframed
American athlete is superior to the
unframed European athlete. I think
there are as many natural athletes
In Europe as in America, and thai

Central out to Pile Up score.

South Side High School will con-
clude its football season Friday, when
Central High School will be the oppo-
nent at City Athletic Field. Central
is out to make a greater score than
the Barringerites did yesterday, so it
seems the Clinton Killers are in for
another wallopng. South Side has a
player in its lineup, whose work Is
the one redeeming feature of the new
school eleven's work. Huntington,
the diminutive halfback, put up a
sterling brand game against Barrin-
ger, end his catching of Dempseys
puntsl and kickoffs was the one good
spot in South Sides play. Central
will have the services of Harry Ben
net, the giant fullback, in Fridays
game His splintered elbow has been
removed from its cast. Bennets
rushing has been power in the Cen
trail play to date, and had he been in
the Battin game the Centralite would
probably have done more in the mat
ter of gaining ground when the ball
was within striking distance of Bat
tins goal Doc Sargent allowed his
charges to rest yesterday. Most OF
the Wiener lads were in the stand get
ting o. line on the South Side method
of attack, though the same was not
in evidence, as Barringer did most OF
the rushing. The South Side game Is
depended upon to bring forth the de-
fects of Central play, so that they
may be corrected before the final
game of the season, with St Bene-
diets. which Is slated for Thanksgiv-
ing Day at the City Athletic Field.

the cup, denoting the three cross
country victories that Barringer has
registered during the past four years
in the New Jersey Interscholastic
League cross country races. Bar
ringer won the race in 1909, 1911 and
1912. In 1910 there was no race, as
Barringer was the only school that
turned out cross country crew.

of the Ridge street institution, as all
three of the legs have been won by

SWIMMING Gets Impetus.

Although swimming is not named
among the sports that are manda-
tory for the members of the New
ark High School Athletic Associa-
ton, 1t is practically assured that
there will be an intra-city schedule
in the water sport. South Side High
School is the latest to come forth
with an intention to place team
IN the water. With Whitley Wurth,
q brother of Edward Wurth. the
former crack waterman of Barringer,
as q nucleus the Clinton Killers are
said to have excellent prospects for
a successful season. Central has the
hest outlook of the four league mem
bers. as Jennings, Smith, George
Smith, Bannett and Charles Allen,
the captain, are at hand. Barringer
has suffered greatly since last sea-
son. as Tobelman and Williamson
are now at Brown University How
ever. Van Ness, Seller and Theubel
are all proficient aquatic men and
no great difficulty should be exper-
fenced at the school which turned
out q team that defeated the best In
the Metropolitan district. Outside OF
the league, Montclair Academy Is
looking forward to a splendid sea-
son. The MacVicar watermen have
suffered only one defeat in the past
four years, that by Barringer. Cap
tain Stopenhagen will issue the call
for candidates for places on the team

Pritchard,s Mark Accepted.

Among the new records accepted
by the Amateur Athletic Union at
it's recent meeting was the 100-yard
high hurdle record OF Edward Pritch-

Pritchard negotiated the century dis
lance over eight 8 feet 6-inch hurdles
in the record time of 10 1-5 seconds,
on September 2S, in the annual games
of the New York Athletic Club, at
Travers Island. This performance
lowered the record of 13h seconds

beyond human endurance when he

pamphlets are to contain the pictures
Of the rival coaches and captains and
the lineups of the East Orange and
Barringer elevens. Each player s
name is to be opposite his number or
letter Barringer players will be
numbered while those of East Or
ange will be lettered. The success of
the numbering system for designating
players is more or less matter Of
opin on. 1t Is said that in the Car
isle Dartmouth game. where the
system was tried out, that one would
see the number on the man running
with the ball and turn to his pro-
gram to find out his identity and by
that time the next play was being
run off.

IL a speaking place fs announced, no
doubt many people would merely go
there and await the arrival OF the pa
rade. To find out where Mr.. Under
wood Will speak. 1t will be necessary
to go to the Terminal station and join
the parade which will leave there as
near IL o'clock, noon, as possible.
The route of the parade will be
down Fifth avenue to Nineteenth street;
up Nineteenth street to First avenue;
east on First avenue to Twentieth
street and north on Twentieth street to
Capito1 park. Mr.. Underwood and his
party will lead the parade In a horse
drawn carriage and as the carriage
reaches Capitol park 1t will draw aside
and Mr. Underwood will review the
parade as 1t passes into the park and
disbands. Mr.. Underwood will ride in
a carriage on account of the difficulty
of driving an automobile slowly enough
to keep a foot parade together This
leading carriage will probably be the
only vehicle in the parade besides any
any automobiles that may follow the
parade in the rear.

The committee in charge of the re-

the parade would be welcomed The
route of the parade is not long and 1t
will probably move very slowly so that
both women and children can partici-
pate without any discomfort.
The Southern railroad train bearing
Mr.. Underwood is due at the Terminal
station at 11:40 o'clock Friday morn
ing and officials of the railroad state
that every effort will be made along the
route from Washington to Birmingham m
to keep the train on time.
No Ceremonies at Depot
1t Is probable that there will be no
ceremonies whatever at the depot The
carriage will be waiting for Mr.. Under

him will conduct him to 1t and Grand
Marshal E. j. McCrossin and his staff
viii Immediately begin forming the
parade behind and it will move down
Fifth avenue.
The banquet will follow Friday even
ing at the Hillman.
Indications from the interest being
taken in the Underwood reception are
that there probably will be thousands
of people at the Terminal station to
welcome home the Birmingham man
whose career In the national Congress
has been so illustrous. Different moving
picture companies have already made
arrangements to put the reception and
the parade on the film. Friday is ex-
pected to be memorable day in the
