HARVARD MEN ARE BOOMING DONOVAN FOR OLYMPIC JOb New England Sportsmen Launch Fight Against A. A. U. Officials -''Po0ch"
 We'll Fitted for
 Position

Boston, Mass, March d. {speclaL)- The battle is on. New England sports men and Harvard men have under taken the task of handing the petty, curbstone politicians of the A. A. U. the one decisive whipping they have been promised-but escaped-for sew eral years.
 The war opened when Capt. Billy Murray of the 1919 Harvard football team launched a boom for William E. Epoch" Donovan, Harvard trainer, for the position of chief trainer to the American Olympic team. Murray en- listed the aid of Howard G. Reynolds, sport expert of the Boston Globe. and before the scrap Is over A. A. U. off, cials are going to have plenty to think about.
 Qualified by experience and temper ment for the position In which his friends would place him. "Pooch' Don ovan Is not seeking the post. He clings to the belief that the job should seek the man. especially in matters where the A. A. U has even a trace of authority The first skirmish is in- teresting because the protectors Of the A. A. U. politics have dug themselves in and have not even dared to respond to the opening fire from the facile pen of the Boston writer,
 Epoch" Donovan Is one of the great est authorities on the conditioning Of athletes in this country. With the possible exception of Jack NMoakley of Cornell, he is the dean of them all since Mike Murphy passed to the great be- yond Murphy was in charge of the last American Olympic team that went to Stockholm in 1921.
 Harvard men are making their pres ence felt in the Donovan boom, too. The Crimson followers have real facts In Donovans favor. and point to his work with the Harvard team on the trip to the Pacific coast last year as his crowning achievement. Donovan took the Harvard team from climate where zero weather was the rule. across the continent into tempera- ture that for many days was in the s0's-and sent them on the field against Oregon in perfect condition.
 The one thing that will bother the A. A. U. crowd in their fight against Donovan is finding some kind of an excuse for turning down a man who Is without doubt Americas premier ath- lettc trainer Regardless of the Dono- can boGm, 1t is about time some or- ganization "set, to take crack at the tinsel political crowd in the A. A. U. that has several times seriously ham pered the future of athletics in this country

"rebels.p but not with a loss of honor O. severe loss of dignity. The only thing that was forced upon Johnson-in reality seemed to favor-was the ap- pointment of a special board of two menl- bers which will operate in the nature of a. board of review. Col. Jacob Rup- pert is one of the members-Ruppert was bitter foeman of Johnson. But as an offset to this. Clark Griffith Is the other nlember-and Clark was as loyal to John son Ruppert was not.
 This board takes out of the Johnson hands some of the autocratic power which he once enjoyed. It makes him less of czar than was charged. But 1t doesnt [ take from Johnson his powers as presl-
 dent, 1t doesn't remove him as secre-
 tary or treasurer and it does not take slice out of his salary. Johnson holds
 the same office now as he did before
 the battle, gets the same money for 1t
 and has less responsibility and less to worry about
 So, in an impartial view, 1t would seem that if any victory was achieved, that Johnson is the winner
 The best thing that could have hap pcned to baseball was the settlement of the squabble which has reached a point where 1t was nauseating to the public and where it was hurting baseball! For tEpatefy the settlement was one where both parties are claiming victory and neither feels the bitterness of defeat And that is the best sort of settlement
 that Is possible.

GEORGIA BASEBALL MEN ARE WORKING
 HARD FOR BIRTHS
Ivy Wingo, Cincinnati Red Catcher, Gives Pointers to College Players. Seventy-Five Men
 Report

Athens, Ga, March 3.-(Special. )-Base- the University of Georgia, and in response to the S. 0. S. call for baseball volunteers about 75 candidates are fighting for places OF the Georgia varsity.
 Ivey Wingo, member of the worlds champion Cincinnati Reds, spent the last week in Athens. giving the Red and Black candidates, and especially the pitchers and catchers, valuable pointers. Wingo could only remain with the squad for about a week as he had to report to the Reds training camp in Florida, Wingo rendered valuable assistance to Coach Stegeman last spring with the Georgia baseball team.
 Out of the candidates, Coach Stegeman will have to mould & brand new pitcA- ing staff. Both Philpot, of all-southern fame. and McMoore completed-their four
 years of baseball last spring. There are ten candidates for pitching h6nors, and among the most promising are George Clarke who pitched last year for tho Georgia Military College and Jack Slap py of Gordon Institute. Clarke is a right-hander and in ali probability he will
 be first string pitcher this year. He has a wicked fast, ball and a good base ball head. Jack Slappy is long. lean, lanky left-hander, and has worlds of stuff Slappy and Clarke will undoubtedly have the pitching burden on their shoul- ders.
 Six of last years team are back this year. They are Captain Claude Satter- field of horne-run fame; Booze" Mo- whorter, outield; Kennon Mott. outfield; Cody. first base; Dick Hancock. sec

ond base, and Country Mangum. the jim dandy little receiver of last years team. In all probability, Mangum will be switched to the outfield. He is a heavy hitter and will be a valuable man In the outer garden. Satterfeld is as good a pitcher as he is an outfielder, which Is going some. If called upon to do 1t, Satterfeld can heave good game. He demonstrated his pitching ability last year against Georgia Tech, winning his own game, to l. with home run.
 Cody will be back at the initial bag. He is one of the best fielding first base men in college circles.
 The old reliable Dick Hancock will be cavorting around the keystone bag.
 As Ferris Mize did not return, shortstop is open. About six candidates are trying for short field honors.
 Last years captain, 'fWhitey" Davis, also finished, and the hot corner Is open Several candidates are putting up live iy scrap for the guardian of the hot sack.
 Georgia will face the hardest baseball schedule ever undertaken by southern college team. They play such teams as Pittsburg Maryland State, Michigan, Washington and Lee, Virginia, vandef- bilt Auburn, Clemson and probably Ala bama. There are twenty-eight games on Georgia's schedule and there Is noe & single easy team in the bunch. Out of the wealth of material that has reported to Coach Stegenan- on Sanford
 Field, & winning aggregation will be moulded. Coach Stegeman is 6 wizard at the coaching game. and the followers of the Red and Black are not worrying about the prospects of winning team I this season.
 Georgia lost only one game last year, that being to Alabama The Crimson nine resurrected the immortal Dan Boone, who defeated the Red and Rldcfs squad

Ie4one confined his reading merely to the New York papers he would gain the impression that it was a terrible de- feat for Johnson. For most of the news paper men in Gotham loyal supporters or the owners of the Yankees, wrote every story from the angle that Johnson had been dealt an awful beating. And they topped these stories with the seem irgly fake announcement that Johnson, disgusted and disheartened, was going to resign.
 If one perused articles composed by writers in cities other than New York a different impression is gained. Many of those chroniclers of diamond doings declared that the worst that happened was a draw, while others pointed out that it was real victory for John- son.
 It would seem to an unbiased individ- ual that if any victory was achieved tie victory was that of Ban Johnson For in the end Johnson still retained his job which will pay him sS0,0o0 year for Il more seasons. His enemies tried to oust him--and they failed. Although his contract was challenged it was held valid

 TOMEET HENDRICKS
City Champion Defends Title Friday Night at B. A. C.-Cravath Fails
 To Arrive

( "A furor of excitement was caused in amateur wrestling circles of the city yesterday morning when it was an nounced that Mike Forbes, well-known grappler of this city, would meet Claude Ken dricks, also of this city, in a finish bout at the B. A. c. ath- 3etic carnival Friday night
 Mike" Forbes was the sensation of xhs local amateur world last season. The Central High School grappler took sn all corners in his class, and defeated <hem all in decisive fashion. He won shs 145-pound amateur title of Bir- mfngh&m in 8 series of elimination Aouts with Fritiz Jones and other Magic Ety grapplers.
 It will be in defense of his title that Horbes meets Hendricks. The latter ss in the f45-pound class himself, and 4esires an opportunity to prove his ability to pin the terrible Mikes" shoulders flat. He will be given this opportunity when the two meet at the Birmingham Athletic Club carnival, which will be held Friday night.
 Local fans well remember Forbes Ast seasons work. He easily tri- umphed over all who entered the ring with him. The greatest of his feats was the stunt pulled off by him last spring. He issued challenge to the five best men in Central High, He stated that he could throw any five in one hours time. taking one man imme g. 6iately after the disposal of another
 He won. and in Jig time, throwing the five wrestlers picked by Coach Thomas in less than the allotted hour He was up against some real fellows too. Tom Newton, fullback on the foot ball team Earnest Spence, half-back and Earl Tingley, linesman, were in Gluded' among the five. Forbes was out weighed In the bouts with some of the five grapplders. z
 Hendricks is not regarded as 3 e1ouch at wrestling himself. Claude is one of the best defensive amateur grap- piers seen here recently, and during the past year he has perfected an offensive

 Copeland is the same little grappler who put up such a sturdy resistance against the national title holder last season, and Is generally regarded as standing a good chance to throw the Gary grappler this season, provided he overcomes local opposition, which is be- ing offered in the parsonage of Sol Berry. In previous match between the two Berry had little the best of Copeland. Friday night will tell the tale however.

Philadelphia, March s--John HeisnAn. coach of the University of Pennsylvania football team, favors the proposal to sub- stltute certain number of plays fer a certain period of time to determine the length of football games.
 ''It is good rule" he said. land would eliminate the old evil of staliin. I do not know off-hand how the details could me worked out, but Pennsylvahia's repre- sentatives should be instructed to support the proposal at the annual meeting of the rules committee in New York hext month.
 "I also think 1t would be good thing to change the scoring to give points for balls lost within Ave yards of the op- ponents goal line. 8 points inside the ten yard line and 2 points inside the twenty yard line. Thus there would be no t:e games where one team distinctly out played the other.'
 Dr. Carl Williams. for several years iPennsylvania's representative on the rules committee, while admitting the psah to regulate the length of football games by plays instead of time. had some good points, was not as unqualified in his ap- proval as Coach Heisman.
 Tt has been suggested many times at meetings of the rules committees" he said, but as far as I can remember never even got so far as a vote. It has many advantages, although it probably would call for another official If some pfAc- tical way of working 1t out can be found if ought to be g. good thing for the game. but 1t Is one of those suggestions that needs considerable discussion before an opinion should be formed"
