There never was much chance that
the Tigers would play in the A. A. U.
tournament now going on in Kansas
City. The players themselves did not
care to go into it; they were not in con.
dition to play in it; and the Committee
on Intercollegiate Athletics did not wish
them to enter.
Under certain conditions if is possible
that Missouri might have played some
other contender for western honors. How
ever, the triple tie in the Western Con-
ference practically makes it impossible
for a challenge to be issued to the Big
Ten winner. The various announce
menis that Missouri would play Nebraska
are without foundation.

CHICAGO PLANS TRACK MEET
National Intercollegiate Contest
Will Be Staged June IL.

Tiger track stars will have an oppOr-
tunity to gain a nationwide reputation
this summer. Plans are now under way
for the staging of national iniercOllegi-
ate track and field meet in Chicago in
June. The accompanying story from
Chicago gives the details as planned by
the Chicago promoters Of the classic.
"The national intercollegiate outdoor
track and field meet, first Of its kind
to be held in this country, which is ex-
pected to bring together the cream OF
the athletic world, will be held in Chi
cago on June IL.
Announcement Of the date was niaGe
by the committee, composed of A. A.
Stagg, John L. Griffith of Illinois, and
Tom Jones Of Wisconsin, after circulars
had been sent TO the various institutions
asking for an expression of opinion re-
garding the most suitable time. As the
majority was in favor Of June IL the
committee selected that date.
THE eastern intercollegiate and Mis-
souri, Valley Conference meets are always
held on the last Saturday in May, while
the Western Conference games generally
are decided ON the first Saturday in
June. Efforts will be made by the CON-
mittee to have the Big Ten change the
date for IFS games to conform with others
throughout the country.
Holding of the Western and Missouri
Valley Conference meets on the same day
will keep athletes west Of the Mississippi
river from taking part in the Big Ten
affair. In past years the great majority
of athletes in the Missouri Valley Con
ference came east for the other games
on the Saturday following. and this will
be an important point TO be considered
when the Big Ten is asked to move its
date ahead one week.
''Just how successful the national meet
will be this year cannot be stated. 1t
will be more or less of an experiment.
Many believe the East will pay little or no

BARKING DOGS DON'T BITE
Which Is Borne Out by Actions of
Some Fighters.
By HENRY L. FARRELL

(UHifed Press Staff Corespondent.l
NEw YORK, Mar. l0.-Before Willie
Jackson stepped cut Of his corner for
his recent bout with Johnny Dundee.
his manager, Doe Bagley, had a few
words announced.
If Jackson won. he would post forfeit
to bind a match with Benny Leonard
for the lightweight championship.
The crowd ''razzed" the announcement
and the crowd was right. because Jack
son won and the forfeit hasn't been
posted yet.
There is the case Of Paddy Mullins
and his good boy, Mike O'Dowd.
Mike went up to Boston one night to
pick up a little change against a set-up,
one Johnny Wilson.
The referee thought that Mike ranked
No. 2 Of the pair and Mike howled for
months that he was ''jobbed' out Of his
crown.
Mullins Offered Wilson a chunk Of
the Fourth Liberty Loan just for the
chance to get even. Wilson had a sore
nose then and wouldn't listen to the ex-
champ. Mullins and Mike issued col
umns daily.
THEN-all Of a sudden, Wilson rises
up and says words to the effect

may be a lotta birds that can whip me,
but there's one dodo who's meat for me

TO WIN
POLOCUPCOOD
Captain Milbun Optimistic
About. Challenge Match
in England.
By HENRY L. FARRELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
New YoRK, March l2-America has
an even chance TO beat England this
summer and regain the international polo
cup, in the opinion of Devereux MiIburn,
veteran internationalist and captain Of
the American team.
Milburn prefers actions to words and
wants Americans to wait until June and
let the team show the home folks how
good it Is.
The team captain is also unwilling
to make any predictions about tho make
up of the quartet that will take the
field at Hurlingham next June to play
for the cup.
Each candidate for the team will
have a chance to show himself in the
tournaments preceding the challenge
match and the personnel Of the team will
be decided on the showing made in those
matches" he says.
As the squad sails for England early
in April, it will be impossible to play
any matches here and the men will have
to condition themselves in England.
While careful to cover any outward
indications Of enthusiasm, Milburn ad-
mits that the team will make the trip
with much more confidence than that
which surrounded the visit of Harry
Payne and his squad in 1909.
So little was thought of the chances
Of an American team at that time that
the officials Of the polo association hes
itated 10 challenge for the cup, prelerring
merely TO send the team over to par
ticipate in various tournaments. AT the
last minute. however, it was decided to
challenge for the cup.
The team consisting of Whitney, Mil
burn, ]. NJ Waterbury, J.. s. Phipps and
E. S. ReynaI made a clean sweep of all
the tournaments and closed a sensational

FRESHMEN HAVE REAL TEAM
Ruby Comments, Highly on Year
lings' Basketball Quintet.

~The freshman basketball team is the
best the University has had since 1918,
the year that produced Williams, George
Browning, Coffey, Scott and Bond >
Craig Ruby was speaking Of this year 5
freshmen, and he is evidently pleased
with the wealth Of material coming ur
for next year.
The outstanding star Of the squad this
year has been Ralph Lester, Columbia
High School product, who was elected
captain Of the freshman team Monday.
The squad this year is unusually heavy
and. according to Ruby, most promising
for Varsity material.
Lester is a rangy floor man, an accur-
ate shot and of good size. He will be
a candidate for forward next year.
Storms, freshman football captain, is
also a rangy forward.
Van Horn is the largest man on the
squad, and will be an understudy for
Williams at center. He is 6 feet 3 l-2
inches tall and weighs more than 100
pounds.
Garrison is another center possibility.
Vanice, all-interscholastic guard from
Manual Training High School, Kansas
City, will, in all probability. be Bunker 5
running mate at guard. Yanice is big
and speedy, and has had lots Of exper.
ience.
Faurot is a fast man on the floor.
Masters is q big l80-pound guard.
Polster and Wetzel are promising ma
terial for guards.
