New York Quintet
Wins Basketball
Title of the L. S,

The crack New York University bas
ketball team proved to be the best ANA
teur quintet Of the 1920 season. Mo-
only did it defeat virtually every col
lege team il met, but it cleaned up a.
the annual A. A. U. meet at Atlanta,
winning the United States champion
ship easily. The Army was the only
team that took the measure of the
Violet irre last year. This game was
played early in December and on THAI
date two Of the New York regulars
were absent. The final score was
II to Ia.
The New Workers laid claim to the
intercollegiate title also because, al
though the University ot Pennsylvania
won the Intercollegiate league cham
pionship. it refused TO meet the local
i've. The New Workers issued two
challenges to the Phlladelphlans.
Penn, as stated, won the intercol-
legate league title and permanent pos
session Of the Hoppe trophy. In post
season series the Red and Blue de-
eated the Chicago University quintet

Interest in Squash Tennis Has
Remarkable Increase This Year
Cordier, Yale Club, Wins
National Title; Many
New Courts Erected

The developme ent of squash tennis
during the year just closing has been
little short of remarkable. particularly
IN this city. Competition has increased
more than 100 per cent, largely due to
he number OF new courts erected
throughout the country. An outlay OF
about 81 900 is required to build these
indoor courts, and during the past the
development Of the game was re-
tarded because Of the Jack Of playing
facilities.
The national tournament is now pre-
ceced by 4n annual handicap tou1na~

AS the curtain drops on the 1920
scholastic season three schools lay
claim to tie title of all-around cham
pions OF he Public Schools Athletic
League for the year. De Witt Clinton
the High School of Commerce Of Man

Staten Island, each have won city
championships in two sports, but con-
sidering their relative Importance the
honor Of leading public schools Of the
city goes to the High School of Com

The Sixty-sixth Street boys merit
this title because their champion hi2s
were won in baseball and sketball
which next to football are the major
sports in high schools. De Witt Clinton
won the football title and the swim

placed second, while Curtis High takes
third place with victories in the cross
country run and soccer football.

hardly be disputed because their VIC

ship was decided. The High School of
Commerce wrested the laureis from
Commercial High School Of Brooklyn
and then travelled to Chicago and de.
feated Lane Tech, champions OF the
windy city.
De Witt Clinton added more laurels
to the New York representatives of
the Public Schools Athletic League by
winning the football title after dull
and rather uninteresting season. Com
mercial won the Brooklyn honors, but
comparison Of games played proved
CLIFTON superior to their rivals from
the other borough. A feature Of the
past football season was the remark
able Nunloer OF drop -kickers developed
at the different schools. Almost every
institution in the city made good use
Of kicker during the season. and sev-
erai teams won games By means Of
field goals.
Track and field honors were shared
by Manual Training, of Brooklyn,
which won the indoor title on January
II, at the 23d Regiment, and Stuy-
vesant High, of Manhattan, which cap
tured the outdoor games.
No team title was won in such de-
cisive manner as Curtis High Schools
victory in the cross country champion
snip on November 2l, when. despite
the fact that the Staten Islanders did
not have the individual winner. they
punched Eve barriers among the first
ten for the remarkably low team score
of 81 points. Curtis also won the soc
Ger title of the city and then defeated
the Holyoke High School team. cham

Another institution which deserves o
good deal of credit is Jamaica High
School, of Queens. which again won
the rife championship. The Jamaica

Automobile racing and motorcycle
speed competitions came in for their
quota of record attendances and rec

Bicycling Thrives
With Three Six-Dav
Races in One Year

The sport of bicycling, amateur and
professional showed a steady advance
IN popula ~ during 1920, and, more
than this, the was a decided increase
in the nulnrer cc those who rode the
wheel for pleasure.
The long reign of Frank L. Kramer
as national sSrint champion seems
about over, definitely and finally, for
again another held the place so often
filled by the great Jersey speedster
Arthur Spencer, the Canadian, who
was national champion once before, re-
pcated in 1920.
Bob Spears, OF Australia, while not
competing in America last summer
won the worlds sprinting Champion
ship during his absence in Europe A
series Of match races between him and
Spencer would no doubt have proved
great attraction. but Spears did not
arrive in this country until after the
close of the outdoor season, so
meeting was out of the question.
There were three six-day bicycle
races held in New York during the
wear The first was held at Madison
Square Garden in March and was won
by All Goullet and Jake Magin; the
second, at the 22d Regiment Armory,
was conducted by the "outlaw" organi
cation. composed largely OF riders who

had rebelled, under the leadership Of
Alfred Goullet, the worlds greatest
day rider.
The field that went through the
grind in the "outlaw" organization IN
ciuded the best cyclists in the world
and it was won by Harry Kaiser and
Ray Eaton, OF Newark, after Freddie
Hill, Goullet's partner, had weakened
badly in the final hour of sprintinE.
In spite Of the high quality of the
field at the armory race, which was
held in late November, the third grind,
at Madison Square Garden. under n. C..
A. rule and with field OF almost en-
tirely new cyclists, WAS far more inter-
est'ng as contest.
Maurice Brocco, Of italy, and Willie
Coburn, Of Newark, never considered
as among the first fight Of siX-day
riders, won the event stealing two
laps on the field within the first
twenty four hours. and holding this

financial return that Tex Richard and

next March.

Ed Lewis Reaches
Top in Wrestling
After Long CLIMB,

The most important happening on
the professional wrestling mat during
1920 occurred almost at the close Of the
year, when (Strangler) Lewis, Of
California, won the worlds heavyweight
catch as -catch-can championship by de-
feating Joe stecher, OF Dodge City.
Nob., the title holder.
This bout was staged at the 7ls5 Reg
iment Armory in this city on Decem-
Der 1S, and Lewis pinned Stecher's
shoulders to the mat after almost two
hours of furious wrestling. Seven head
locks, applied in rapid succession, were
the cause OF Stecher's downfall, the
terrific pressure that the powerful
Lewis cxerted weakening the Nebraska
man until ne was helpless before the
Strangers final attack,
It WAS 81 great and we'll earned tri-
ulnph foY Lewis. Consistently and with
dogged dcte rm nation I've had struggled
for four year TO YIN the premier
wrestling honors, but every year the
great Stecher interlcred with his plans.
Previous to the match with the old
champion. Lewis had met and defeated
WladcL Zbyszko. the giant Pole, thus
earning the right to face Stechcr. The
latterS deadly SclsSola ho'u Hau won
him the worlds chief honors two or
three years before. and II was believed
that the Nebraska boy would repeat
when he met Lewis. The match re-
solved itself into test between the
two holds, and the head lock proved
The more efficient, In this instance at
least.
Jack Curley. the man who placed pro
fcssional wrestling back on Il solid
footing in this city, conducted the
championship match and he Likewise
made arrangements to have some Of
the best mat men from European coun-
tres compete in New York this winter.
