"phenom' and predicted greater things
about him than his performances yester-
day.
The presence Of Russell Wheeler. of the
Montreal Amateur Athletic Association
and one of the foremost speed skaters In
Canada, lent an international flavor to the
contests, but the Canadian had poor luck.
He got a third in the mile and was going
with great vim In the five miles when
one of the contestants fell in front of him
and he was knocked over, the fall being
so severe that he was forced to retire
Both in the half and mile 1t appeared to
the onlookers that Wheeler was getting an
unfair deal from the Lake Placid skaters
and that he had been pocketed more than
once. Still the Canadian proved himself
a good sportsman by offering no ob1ec-
ton. and when asked by HERALD re-
porter he denied that any questionable
tactics had been used against him.
Ice Too Soft for Best Work.
The races were held on the park pond
outside the city on 200 yard track, with
the ice in wretched condition. All through
the session the racing circuit was covered
ankle high with slush and water, but TINS
unfortunate feature was more than coun'

Hastings on the Hudson, was the star OF
the fair ones present. She won the spe-
cial 346 yards in Sc 3-5 seconds, new rec

pair made an onslaught on the worlds
tandem record of 50 3-5 seconds, standing
on the record books to the credit of Mr..

Miss Muller flew around in 40 AS seconds,
which, until beaten, will be rated as the

Many Physical
Trainers Needed

The National Council OF the American
Physical Education met yesterday at the
Astor Hotel and discussed the great neces-
sity for more teachers of physical culture
among the youth of the country. Dr. J.
II. McCurdy. of Springfield, Mass. In his
annual report submitted figures computed
on pre-war basis to prove that there
was a demond for 1877 instructors in
physical education, with only $500 avail
able. These teachers demanded each year,
said DIR. McCurdy-1.0O0 men and 1900
women each year-represent the recog-
nized present untitled need.
THE new State physical education laws
are an actual menace" added DIR. Nc
Curdy, unless trained teachers are sup
piled TO meet the broad health reconstruc-
tion needs; unframed teachers may do
real injury to the growing youth" lie
pointed out how the American army
needed as a minimum one recreation
leader for each 500 soldiers. On this basis
80. 10000 wage earners would need 10000
recreation leaders. These could be fur
nished. DR.. McCurdy stated, at a cost of
two cents a day per worker. If the PSI 900
school buildings were used the additional
cost for heat. light and janitor service
would approximate two cents more a day
per worker. This is less than one-half
the cost for illness by sl35, 10000. and these
figures do not represent the manufacture

tho provost marshal generals report
which showed the rejection OF a third of
the draft army as physically deficient. thus
indicating the gravity of the situation
from military standpoint.
The financial report showed a great
growth In resources during the past year.
The money collected In 1919 was s21 .620.1i,
or more than twice as much as In the pre-
vious year. The council closed its meeting
with the election OF officers. They are:--

By winning the four events Jewtraw not
only captured the gold medals but he also
ca rried off the Johnson Cup offered for
the skater scoring the most points durin z

and mile with a well timed squirt at the
finish of each race, but he was pushed to
his best in the five mile handicap by Joe
Moore, formerly OF New York, who had
an allowance of twenty-five yeards. and
who is now wearing the black and orange
colors of the Lake Placid Skating Club.
After the first three miles ii was a ding
dong tussle between the pair. who tore
along in front with occasional challenges
and bursts of speed from w. Murphy, of
1Slst Street Skating Club. In the last two
laps Jewtraw and Moore drew away by
about ten yards and from thence. onward
raced away stroke for stroke On the
backstretch Moore pulled UP level with
his teammate, but Jewtraw was equal to
the occasion, and around the last bend he
drove in with every ounce and-in the home

It is a crescendo of delicate ly balanced factors that starts from two distant points and beginning on a cool foundation of mutual respect passes upward through stages of in- telligence against intelligence, caution for caution, perseverance on the heels of endurance, until it meets on the high plane of naked courage and sweeps to it's tragic climax of white. hot battle and death.'
