ROBERTSON likely
CHOICE FOR COACH
OF OLYMPIC TEAM
Pennsy Track Mentor, Veteran
of Four World Contests, Is
Slated for Job-Fine Talent
Available for Aides.

Question raised the other day calls
for little more discussion-wh0i il to
coach and train the American Olympic
athletes for the Antwerp session this
year? As was said In these columns
last week. chances are that Lawson
Robertson Of the University of Penn
sylvania will be chosen. and the others
mentioned will come in as assistants.
Robertson was Aassistant to Mike
Murphy, who coached the Yankees for
the 1912 Olympic games. He is con-
coded to be quite qualified for the po-
sition. Coupled with his being without
peer as a conditioner of athletes, he
is thoroughly conversant with Olympic
competition. Lawson sported the Old
Glory shield at the Olympic games in
st. Louis in 1904. in Athens in 1906 and
in London in 1908. The bulk Of the
work OF coaching the American Olympic
team of 1912 fell upon Robertson. for
poor Mike Murphy was on his last legs
at the time and his health would per-
nit him to do but little.
WISE TO. WHOLE GAME
Having made so many Olympic trips
both as competitor and trainer, Rob-
ertson has an inside knowledge Of af-
, fairs that Is invaluable. He knows best
how to handle the athlete on board ship,
is familiar with foreign cooking and ed
| ibles, understands acclimation and 9TH
err necessary details. He also knows
| the temptations the boys will be sub
| jected to and the safeguards against
them. Needless to say, he Is thorough
ly conversant with the idiosyncrasies
of foreign athletic officials and can help
the Olympic athletes with many good
| pointers.
Harry Hillman of Dartmouth Is al
most as well qualified as Robertson
to direct the coaching and training ac-
tivities of the Olympic team. Harry
and Lawson were members Of the same
American Olympic team Of 1904, 1906
and 1908. Keene Fitzpatrick Of Prince
ton, Jack Moakley of Cornell, "Pooch"
Donovan Of Harvard, Tom Keane Of
| Syracuse. Steve Farrell Of Michigan,
Bernie Wefers of the New York Ath-
letic club and Columbia, and Frank
Kanaly of the NJ. I. T. all are great
trainers whose age, experience and
ability well qualify them as Olympic
pilots.
Each Of them will demand the ear
nest consideration of the committee
before an Olympic coach is selected.
| The sporting world knows all about
the careers of Keen Fitzpatrick Jack
Moakley, Bernie Wefers, Tom Keane.
Frank Kanaly, "Pooch" Donovan and
Steve Farrell. OF the other. most of
them younger, members of the group
Mike Ryan. the Colby coach. will be
recognized as the former marathon
runner OF the Irish American A. C. of
New York; Jimmy Mulligan of the
Navy as the former Georgetown star

BLIND B0GEY GOLF
Players at California Resort
Try Game Popular at Boise
Country Club and Learn Of
Handicapper's Job.

They're playing bling DOGGY golf at
Del Monte. Cal, and think it's a great
idea, letting the players handicap them
selves. Jimmy Simpson introduced tho
play at the Boise country club this
fall. They're doing 1t the same way,
drawing a number secretly and having
each golfer try to handicap himself so
that he will finish with a net score
close to the drawn number.
Correspondence from the resort com.
ments on the scheme as follows:
THE competitions have been tried at
Del Monte and have proved very pop
ular. 1t has been surprising to see how
many players who have complained
about the Handicapped land outside the
numbers. The idea of permitting the
players to be their own handicappers
fits in we'll at Del Monte. where play
ers come from all sections of the coun-
try. The Handicapped is not acquainted
with their respective abilities and 1t
works out great to have the golfers do
their own figuring. Then IL something
goes wrong the Handicapped is not
blamed. They get first hand informa :

SPORT SNAPSHOTS

The bout between Benny Leonard
and Willie Richie drew the second
largest gate of the year. The worlds
heavyweight clash between Jack Demp-
sey and Jess Willard at Toledo alone
outdrew this clash between the one
time lightweight champion and the
present incumbent. Newark was be-
sieged by frenzied thousands Of en-
thusiasts last April when Richie. who
had previously outpointed Leonard in
a four-round bout on the coast, climbed
into the ring to do battle against the
local favorite. The club was packed
to capacity: the walls fairly bulged
outward with the mass of humanity
that jammed the building. In the street
thousands of disappointed ians at
tempted to carry the place by storm
until the police reserves were called
out and the crowd dispersed. Leonard
won by knockout.
The fact that Leonard was able to
average one bout almost every two
weeks Is all the more remarkable when
it, is remembered that the champion
did little boxing during the summer
months. All through July and most of
August he was idle. Then he resumed
the whirlwind campaign that had
featured his schedule during the early
spring and early summer months. AZ

the ring against any opponent the pro-

organization other than to pay dues
and rock the boat.
The licensed starter and timer is
tossed overheard but that is mild when
compared with the following sentence
inserted in the three heat rule: when
a horse has won the first and second
heats and his driver does not try to
win the third heat of the race. he shall
be declared the winner of the race and
take the winrace, but shall forfeit to
the other starters all moneys won."
HOW IT WOULD WORK
For example, II such a rule had been
in force at Hartford in 1917 when Chill
coot won the first and second heats
ofsthe $4,000 Charter Oak Purse and
lost the third, IL the judges were of
the opinion that his driver did not try
to win the third they could take the
$4,000 which Chilcoo had won, from his
owner and give ii to the other starters.
There would not be more thar one de-
cision OF that kind. IT sounds too much
like the Caucus race which the Dodo
put on in Alice's Adventures in Won
derland.
The National Trotting association
was organized in 1870. 1t is the pio-
neer. All others are built on the same
lines. The American was started in
1887. At the time, many deplored the
split. 1t proved benefit. The coun-
try was too large for one organization
to handle the work properly. Prior to
the appearance of the American, the
National never had over 300 members.
racing association or fair being the
unit in the organization. In brief
period the two had over 100. As the
years ran along. differences crept into
the rules. In 1900 the first step was
taken to make them uniform. This
was consummated in 1917.

THE ATlANTIC'S WAVES
MEASlIREn

The size of the waves of the Atlantic
ocean has been carefully ascertained
as a result of extensive Investigations
made by the officers of the hydro
graphic office of the United States
navy department. In height, we are
assured, these waves usually average
80 feet, but in rough weather they will
attain some 40 to IS feet. During
storms they are frequently from 500 to
600 feet long and endure 10 or IL sec
onds. The longest wave measured by
the photographic office officials was
half mile and 1t did not spend itself
for 20 seconds.

ing that will be a vital factor in all the
life of the individual
1.-THE idea of the continuous useful
ness of a sport as means or promoting
physical well being underlies the as
sociation's interest in the move TO
make tennis major sport in the col
leges. 1t Is probable that the reorgan-
ization Of the intercollegiate Tennis
association along lines that will es-
tablish definite and permanent poll
cies will be of material help in obtain
ing this recognition. Certainly indica-
lions now point that way.
ENDOWMENTS FOR SPORT
In connection with all this it is sur
prising that in matter which SO Wit
ally concerns the future Of the race,
progress has been so slow. Millions
of dollars have been set aside for foun-
dations to promote musical education
and to broaden the field Of medical and
scientific knowledge, but as yet no
philanthropist has seemed to recognize
the truth that physical efficiency is
the first essential to the use and en-
joyment of all these other things Per-
haps some day there will be founda-
tons to promote sport, on the theory
that outdoor exercise and recreation
are essential requirements for the best
development of manhood and woman
hood.
Meanwhile the National association
is doing all it can to establish the idea
that tennis is a game that helps to
meet this need and that it offers a real
service to the community by qualifying
its citizens physically to meet the stress
of modern life. Its immediate task is
to help the college and school auhori-
ties, who recognize the Importance OF
giving their students the best physical
equipment to make their mental train
ing really efficient We have already
gone a long way on that road, and this
progress is the best promise for the
| future"

BY w. II. GoCHER

History repeats itself in the affairs
of men and horses, as is shown by two
incidents tracing to Lexington, KY. In
the latter part of the seventies when
John II. Wallace was rejecting the bo-
gus crosses in southern pedigrees, "a
few Kentucy breeders of trotters de-
cided to make stud book of their own.
They employed j. II. Sanders to do the
work. He pirated WaIlace's publica-
tions. AS Sanders failed to do any
verifying. 1t was found when his book
was published that he had included a
bogus pedigree which the willy Scot
planted as bait. just as detectives trap
suspects with marked bills. When the
exposure followed, the Kentucky breed
ers stopped rocking the boat.
Last October. another Kentucky
breeder, taking advantage of the unrest
which has been turning the world top
sy-turvy since the close of the war,
launched a plan to draft a code of rae
ing rules for the Grand circuit. The
stewards of the Grand circuit held a
meeting at Lexington the same week.
