New Swimming Record
for 500 Meters Will
Be Allowed, Belief

New York, Nov. 13.-Details of the
worlds 500-meter swimming record of
g minutes 4S 2-5 seconds. set by Ludy
LANCER at Neptune Beach. Calf, re-
Gently, afford assurance that the new
mark will receive official recognition.
The Los Angeles champion, who now
wears the colors of the Hui Naiu (Surf
club of Honolulu, accomplished the
remarkable feat in the IOOyard pool of
the Neptune Beach baths and reports
state that all requirements were com
piled with. LANCER had as opponents
Frank Sahlin and Edward Lester. He
defeated them by wide margins and
showed wonderful Judgment of pace
throughout the race. His intermediate
times were: 100 yards, LOS; 200 yards,
2:20; 300 yards, 3:37 Is; 400 yards
4:54 2-5; 500 yards, 600.
The present listed international rec
ord for 500 meters is held by Norman
Ross at 6 minutes 55 4-5 seconds, so
that LANCER bettered it by 7 20 sec
onds. Arne Borg of Sweden is credited
with doing the distance in 6 minutes
40 3-5 seconds, but the performance
has not been submitted to the fedora
ton committee for approval, so there
is no vouching for it's authenticity.
Langer's new mark disposes of it, any
how.

GAME NOVEMBER 2G
Single Seats Are Sc and Boxes
Holding Four Are S100
and Hard to Get.

New York, Nov. 13.-Reserved seats
in the grand stand for the army-navy
football game at the Polo grounds on
Saturday. Nov 26. have been doubled
in value by the service managers. They
now are on sale at S6 each, including
the war tax, and then cannot be OBJ
tanned unless through personal appli-
cations to the authorities at West
Point and Annapolis. The private
boxes, each holding four chairs, are
on sale at the offices of the Giants in
West Forty Fourth street. A box will
cost just 500.
Assuming that 10000 persons pay
S6 each and that each of the 1900
boxes is disposed of, the Army-Navy
game this fall will produce about
$3.50, 900 in gross receipts. which will
exceed the revenue from the Yale
Princeton game in the New Haven
bowl on November II by more than
$3.50 There are $4,000 seats in
the bowl and the uniform ticket rate
is So
Bringing the West Point eleven and
the gray coated cadets to New Haven
was a smart move on the part of the
Yale managers. The game and it's
novel features attracted $4,000 per-
sons from all parts of New England
and netted more than 100000 in gate
money.

FOOTBALL DOPSTERS

WILL LOSE To YALE
Blue and Crimson Meet Satur'
day in Last Big Game of
Eastern Conference.

New York, Nov. 13.-The smashing,
plunging, capable band of football war
riors that carried the blue standard
of Yale to victory over the Princeton
eleven Saturday at New Haven is
ranked, because of that triumph, as too
strong a foe for the eleven of Har-
ward, which the Bull Dogs meet next
Saturday in the last of the seasons
big three clashes. Princeton has won
from Harvard and lost to Yale.
Captain Malcolm Aldrich's kicking
toe was the real factor in Yale's vic
tory over Princeton, for the two field
goals that Aldrich lifted between the
posts carried the Bulldog to it's Ii to
Z score.
Charlie O'Hearn, the Eli quarter
back, made the Yale touchdown in the
opening period.
Penn States eleven, undefeated dur
ing the season, drove to 13 to vic
tory at Philadelphia over the navy.
which had up to that time a series of
unbroken victories. There were times
during the game when it appeared as
though the midshipmen would be un-
able to stem the Penn state attack but
they came back strong in the second
half and, while holding their adver-
tance of their goal on numerous occa-
sions.
Harvard. represented mostly by Sec
ond string men, found stubborn foe
in Brown, but fought determinedly in
the last quarter and scored a touch
down that brought victory. 8 to Z.

Ohio State and Iowa Tied So
Far for First HOnOrs;
Both Are Undefeated.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-With the close of
the western conference gridiron cham
pionship season week away, the un-
defeated Ohio State and Iowa elevens,
each with four victories to their
credit, Sunday night are tied for first
place honors in the race. which gives
every indication of winding up with the
1921 title in dispute.
Wisconsin virtually was eliminated
from the race as result of being held
to to tie by Michigan on Saturday,
while the Ohioans were bowling over
Purdue, % to 0. The Hawkeyes buried
Indiana under a ii to 0 score. Both
Ohio State and Iowa have comparative
1y easy opposition for the final games
of the season Saturday and observers
believe they will come through with
clean states. Ohio meets Illinois, which
has been defeated in all four Of its
big ten" games, while Iowa tackles
Northwestern, another tailender in the
race, with four defeats.
Wisconsin, however, must face Chi
cago, one of the strongest contenders
in the race.
Wisconsin still has chance to finish
the season in first place, but this pos
sibility is very remote.
The close of the season also will
find Purdue and Indiana, and Michigan
and Minnesota clashing in games of
traditional rivalry.

New York, Nov. 13.-vincent Rich

Since the cessation of hostiIties on

a great boom. Those who played it be-
fore the war went back to it with
renewed interest and thousands who
never before indulged in the sport took
up the game with great enthusiasm.

Now if any vital changes in the rules
were to take place many newcomers to
the sport would lose heart. become dis

a large measure. While it is a fact

there is a certain pride of accomplish

Sheriff of Missoula
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Missoula, Nov 13.-William II.
Houston, suspended as sheriff. of the
county two weeks ago and the winner
of an eight-to -four verdict in custer
proceedings conducted by Attorney
General Rankin and County Attorney
Campbell, is not ffkely to face further
prosecution, it is said. Mr.. Rankin has
returned to his office in Helena and
Mr.. Campbell refuses to be quoted as
to the states plans. In the meantime,
Mr.. Houston will be reinstated as
sheriff
He was charged with having been in
alliance with bootleggers and moon
sinners, with having afforded them
protection and with having himself
engaged in the traffic. The trial of the
case. after he had been suspended by
court order pending its result, was
extremely sensational.
The charges against the sheriff
came after series of raids on various
places in Missoula suspected of violat-
ing the prohibition laws. A number of
self-confessed moonshiners testified

BUFF ONE CHAMPION
WILLING To DEFEND
TITLE IN NEW YORK
Holder of Flyweight and Ban
tam Belts Would Find Good
Match in Wilde.

New York, Nov. 13.-Johnny Buff,
holder of the flyweight and bantam
titles, is the only champion who is
willing to defend his honors in New
York during the near future. AS a
flyweight, the biggest bout in which
Buff could engage would be battle
with Jimmy Wilde. the English midget
If Buff and Wilde were to meet for
the world title there is no doubt that
the bout would pack Madison Square
garden at championship prices. When
he was over here last year Wilde
proved himself a remarkable fighting
machine. He was forced to concede
weight in all his battles and bis only
setback came when Jack Sharkey
shaded him in his first bout in this
country.
Wilde is the type of fighter the fans
like to see. His hitting is perfection
itself and he never clinches. 1t is
probable he has begun to slide bit,
and it would be no surprise if Buff
were to beat him. The reason this
match is not made is that both little
men demand a fortune. Wilde de-
mands $4,000 for his end and Buff
says be is entitled to as much as the
Englishman received.
Pete Herman would be big draw
ing card with Buff The majority of
those who saw the title change hands
in the garden a few weeks ago believe
that Buff was not entitled to the de-
cision Others are just as positive that
the Jerseyite did show superiority.
Both sides are anxious to have their
judgment vindicated and another match
between the two would prove to be a
big attraction At the present time
Herman and Lynch are arguing over
which is entitled to the first shot at
the new champion.
