year arrangement with the University
OF North Carolina in foot ball. Two
other two-year contracts are pending
one with another southern university
and the other with a northern univer-
sity. The arrangement with the north
ern institution is being held up over
the question of where the game next
fall shall be played, while the one with
the other southern school simply rests
on whether or not the Marylanders feel
they can afford to take on another big
game in addition to the ones already
settled upon. State has not met North
Carolina in foot ball. nor either Of the
other two schools in question
When the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association convenes next De-
cember the place will be Chicago. All
the fourteen meetings so far have
taken place in New York. and the
far western institutions raised such
strenuous kick" at the gathering
last week that their wishes were
acceded to. The distance their rep
resentatives have been compelled to
travel as the main objection on the
part of the western institutions to
New York as the meeting place. The
Pacific coast colleges went so far as
to say that they would form a sepa-
rate association un ess the meetings
were held at more central point.
At the meeting Of the National
Collegiate A. A. last week considera-
BILE discussion developed over the
central board on officials in foot ball.
Chairman Babbitt Of this board stated
that he felt the board had fallen
far from the standard 1t should main
tain and suggested two or three rem
edies and recommended the abolish
ment of the present board. Glen War
ner was among those who got up to
object to such possible action. and
It was the Pittsburgh coach who

British Promoter Sends Envoy.
CHICAGO, January 5-Charles Coch-
ran. English theatrical magnate, who
seeks to stage the Carpentier-D Dempsey
bout in London. is pushing his plans.
He was here on other business yester-
day and said he had sent personal
representative to Los Angeles to con-
fer with Dempsey's manager
Cochran has offered Dempsey guar
antee of $200,000 to sign contract,
and says he will guarantee the cham
pion ten weeks OF theatrical engage
ments in England and France also. at
$4,000 a week. He also said that he
not only has the French champions
signature to contract calling for SlO5.-
500, but has advanced s25.000 to Car
pentier.
London is the logical place for the
battle" said Cochran. ut is neutral
ground We have there all the facili-
ties necessary for staging a world
championship and can be assured that
our investment will be secure"
Cochran will return to New York
today.
Cochran Holds Whiphand.
If Cochran has Carpenter tied up to
a contract calling for s105,O00 for his
share of a purse for bout with
Dempsey, the English promoter holds
fed before the contract for the world
championship can be signed. Soma
time ago it was said that Cochran
held an option on the Frenchmans $
services for a year.
Cochran. upon his arrival in New
York. stated he would outbid any pro-
moter in this country. If Cofforth's s
offer of 100000 is true, some word
from the Briton should be forthcom-
ing within a day or SO.
How Carpenter will regard Cof-
froth's offer to Dempsey remains to
be seen. OF course. the heavyweight
champion of Europe is not going to
fight for a mere song since he has
been offered $105,000 for his services
by Cochran. The Frenchman's man
ager is said to be a shrewd handler
and no doubt will get all that's due

HOPKINS TO HOLD

BaItimoreans Plan the One

Competition This Winter.

So far as is known. only one Set of
indoor track and field events Will be
feld IN the south Atlantic section this
winter. Johns Hopkins University
- made arrangements to carry on
its competitions the last Saturday in
February. but no announcement has
yet been forthcoming that either
George Washington or Georgetown
plans to resume its meet.
Hopkins intends to take advantage
of the lack of Indoor competition and
develop a monster NEST. The Balti-
NOR. ans believe they should have one
of the greatest indoor affairs held In
years as they have date which prac-
tically is open for any kind of COM
petition they desire to stage.
Charley Moran. director of athletics
at Catholic University. has been
thinking seriously of trying to hold
an indoor meet in the new gymna-
sium al Brookland. There is a sixty
yard strai ightaway in that gym. which
is a better sprint facility than was af-
forGed in Convention Hall. Moran
has been trying TO get Information on

siui at c. L. about the only place
here W here q meet can be held is at

that will not be available this year.
I.ack of facilities for staging indoor
meets is proving handicap to indoor
trac,; athletics around here With only
one meet to train for, many of the
schools are taking the position that it
is not worth while to develop indoor
tract; and field sports. Few schools in
this - ton are 50 wei fixed financially

Gallery Trusteoa

The Corcoran gallery in Washing
ton was established BY wealthy
gentleman Of that name for the en-
couragcment Of American art and
it fulflls this purpose BY holding
two exhibitions Of American paint
ings every year. Sometimes it buys
some Of the pictures which are ex-
hibited. Unknown artists say that
only those Of established reputation
ever sell anything to the Corcoran,
and radical artists say that the Cor
coran management does not know
that anything has happened in the
void n art since the days of Queen
Victoria. But the Corcoran people
and the artists whose pictures they
buy are both pleased with them
selves.
Most of the pictures in the Cor
coran are OF the kind that tell
story. PICTURES like this cause truly
modern artist to gnaw his brushes
in rage. He says that art is done
cling stories, and that its proper
t 1ction is to create beauty of color
and design. But the people that run
the gallery don't agree with him.
And besides, the pictures in the
Corcoran are just the kind the tour
j. who come to Washington like
to see. And everybody wants the
tourists to be happy.-Chicago Dali
