events on the programme, while the

team from the Boston Navy Yard, while
Camp Dix looms up as the strongest

The meet will mark the return to the

now at Fort Hamilton, who was one of
the best mile runners Of this country.
Kiviat will toe the starting line in a
race for the first time in more than
two years when he completes in the
1,000-yard run as the fourth man on
the Fort Hamilton relay team.
Although Kiviat was expelled from
the A. A. U. in October, 1915, for pro-
fessionalism, the rule adopted by the
board Of governors of the A. A. U. to
permit professionals and amateurs to
compete together will make him eligible
for races closed to men in the service.
Camp Dix will be represented by a
team of forty runners, among whom are
onetime title holders on track and field
The squad will be headed by Howard
Berry, the three-time winner of the
pentathlon competition title. Berry
will compete in the 1,000-yard run, 800

Skating and Hockey Notes
By Fred Hawthorne

NJ lad, page Mr.. Orrin Markhus, of
Minneapolis; he's wanted on the ice at
once up at Healy's Crystal Carnival
Rink, Broadway and Ninetyffth
Street.
Just few days ago Mr.. Markhus
started to do a Jackson Haines spin at
the Nirety-ffth Street rink. He went
around and around and around. HOW
he did spin, And after his head had
got dizzy and his two feet tied into a
lovers knot Orrin's friends interfered
and saved him, else he might have been
spinning yet.
They finally brought him back to
consciousness and informed him that
he had made sixty-five complete revo-
lutions, and that it was new world
record, and that he was the champion
of the world, and that they were proud
to know him. Shake hands.
Now, Orrin Markhus is trusting
soul, and he believed his friends and
took off his hat every time anybody
said "There's the champion spinner Of
the whole world Amt he light on his
skates !" Even the pompous COP on
the corner regarded Markhus with a
feeling of pride, and so our hero went
to bed that night and dreamed wonder
full dreams, dreams in which there
were a million persons spinning mad
ly on a frozen ocean, but not a one
was so spinny as Markhus, and then
he woke up and went to the Crystal
Carnival Rink again and started to
spin.
Just when he mad completed his
iftieth turn somebody called MI Mark
bus into the Office and spoke in this
manner: Here's a letter from Johnny
Daly. of the Hippodrome skating
forces. who says he has made eighty

But Promising

STATE COLLEGE, Penn, Jan. 49,
Because Of the great inroads that have
been made upon the Pennsylvania STATE
undergraduate body by the war, it has
been necessary to piece out almost an
entirely new basketball five here this
year. Its strength is as yet unknown,
for, aside from the Lehigh tilt, the
fioormen are untricd.
Three Of the six best men in the
squad were members of last seasons
freshman team. They are Wolfe, a
former Mckeesport High School star,
who IS playing one of the guard posi-
tions, and Mullan and Young, for
wards. Captain Blakcslcc, who has as
sumed the additional burden of coach
this season, and Fast and Wilson,
guards, were varsity men last year.
Wolfe, who gained reputation for
open-field running and lodging on the
eleven last fall, has shown the same
speed and elusiveness on the basket.
ball court In the carly games he
played centre and it was apparent that
he was out of his position, although
his excellent floor work indicated
enough ability to clinch a position
somewhere on the team. Since Cap
tain Blakeslec's injured shoulder has
mended. he has gone to centre and
Wolfe was moved to guard against Lee
high. Wolfe's splendid covering and
shooting in that match has assured
him a regular berth.
Wilson, the other guard, has had d
years experience as a first string man
He is heavy and aggressive, playing
his best game when the opposition is
going strong.
Captain Blakeslee, at centre, is d
three years veteran and is one Of the
best scorers in the Pennsylvania In
tercollegiate Basketball League. Prior
to this season he had been playing Oh
the forward line. There is no evidence
of let-down in his work as a result of

Club Not to Bid
For Tennis Fixture

Julian s. Myrick, retiring president
of the West Side Tennis Club, made it
plain at the clubs annual meeting at
Dclmonico's on Friday night that the
Forest HILLS organization Will not be a
bidder this year for the holding of the
national championship tournament,
which it has held for the last three
years.
Mr.. Myrick said that if the national
ASSOCIATION decided to award the big
tourney to the West Side Tennis Club
again the club would endeavor to con-
Duct the fixture as successfully as on
former occasions, but that there would
be no campaign made to retain the
event.
TO fight to retain the tournament
would cause misunderstanding and dis
senslon IN the association" said Mr..
MYrck. The tournament should be
awarded TO club as q reward of merit
tor the good of the game, from the
point OF view of the country at large. A"
The attitude Of the club members
means that the tourney may 90 to
Phllade!phia or Boston this year, if
they bid for it, and thereafter rotate
among the principal cities of the coun-
try.
The new president Of the club.
elected at the meeting on Friday night,
is Charles Scott Landers, a consulting
engineer and q graduate of Yale, class
OF 1900. He has been a member of the
club for more than ten years, and has
just completed his term as treasurer.
