N. (. 4. 4. DECLINES.
 TO JOIN OLYMPIC BODY FOR GAMES.
Collegiate Association Adopts Resolutions of Football
 Coaches Organization

New York. December 29-The Ma
 tional Collegiate Athletic association today definitely declined the Invita- tion of the American Olympic asso- citation to join with it in future par ticipation in Olympic games
 The college association also went on record as favoring the idea of an organization of a national ath- letic federation proposed by Secre-
 tary of War Weeks. A resolution to
 this effect said, in part:
 That the question and the extent and manner of participation of this
 organization in the proposed na
 t1onal athletic federation be left to the deputy committee of the Ma
 tional Collegiate A. A. A. or the
 board of directors if there is one, for discussion and report one year hence"
 During the discussion on this clause, Elwood Brown of the r. M. c. A was asked a Hypothetical ques- tion as to whether in case of two sets of entries for the Olympic games of 1924, one from the American associa-
 tion and another from some organ ization, perhaps under government control, which entries would be in- spected by the international Olympic committee, His answer was that he thought those of the government sanctioned one would be accepted, although he explained that he was
 giving his personal and unofficial opinion. The collegiate association adopted certain resolutions made by the new ly formed Football Coaches assoc1a- tion as presented by Maj. Charles Daily of West Point. The most in- teresting of these was the suggestion tfat the football rules committee prepare an addendum to the football playing rules to provide for the play 1 ing of the game by boys of 15 years
 of age and under. Suggestions for
 these proposed rules provided for following the first boys systems or heeling the catch of every putt and ceasing the tackle and piling on whenever the boy called held"

Troop q .Cagesters
 Score Easy Victory

Before a large crowd at the Ull- man school court, last years scout champs from Troop 21 defeated Troop 1 Of Mulger by the lopsided score of 66 to 3. Never was there any doubt as to who would be the winner, as Troop 21 passed and shot in manner showing that Coach Buddy had spent much time on his team.
 The boys from Troop 1 were dag zied by the speed and pass work shown by the Troop 21 boys, who shot goal after goal from different angles and guarded like demons. Trop 1 only had few shoots at the goal in the first half, for the ball was at all times in Troop 21's pos session.
 Greco. who was the star of last year. showed his old-time form when he rang up 15 field goals and l foul. He was closely followed by Mccoy. who threw field goals. Every man on Troop 21 team scored at least l field goal. Grabin. the new man, showed worlds of speed and pass work. and although he was guarded closely. he counted three times. Will liamson, at center, played his posi- tion in fine style %nd guarded well. The guards of Troop 2i kept their men covered so that only a few shots were gotten.
 After the first squad had run up good score. the subs were sent in and did fairly well. the only field zeal made by the visitors being made after the subs had entered the game. The boys from Mulger are to be con graduated on the fight and spirit they showed Summary: Troop 21 (66) Troop l (S)

Pete Herman Is
 Thinking of An
 Early Retirement
By COLONEL CIjUKE

New Orleans, December 29.-(Spe- cial. )-Pete Herman, New Orleans bantam, and twice holder of the 11S- pound title, is through with the Queensberry game.
 Such is the report among Petes most intimate friends in the city. His retirement. 1t is said, will be an nounced on January 15.
 Confirmation of the rumor in circu lation for several weeks probably will be made by Herman on hIs ar rival here Saturday night to spend the holiday season with his family.
 Herman leaves the boxing game with having been its greatest money getter. During the past year 1t was estimated by ring sharps that his earnings exceeded $2o0,000.
 Herman, too. is one of the few American boxers, we believe the only sions of England. Herman topped off the past year.
 Pete Is also the only bantam who won and lost the title and then got 1t back. lost 1t. and finally decided to step out of the game entirely.
 One of Rcnsons
  One of the many reasons given for Herman's retirement from the game is because of his failing eyesight. It Is said that he Is practically blind in one eye. Because of this fact. also that his financial standing Is such that he can get along without worry l In the future; task to make 11S pounds ringslde, and desire to be at home with his family. is said <2 have hastened his quitting the roped arena. Herman though only 25 years old. Is ring veteran. He has been fight Ing since 1912. His rise to the cham pionship came only after the hardest battle. Because of Billy" Rocaps decision in 1917. awarding him the | tile over Kid Williams. and his re- fusal to accept almost no contest ex- cept 1t contained the ''no-decision' clause. naturally made Pete more or less unpopular.
