OLYMPIC RANKS
Collegiate Body Army and
Navy, on Outs With
A. A. u.
MAY BE TWO TEAMS
FOR 1924 GAMES
by HENRY l.. FAIRFIELD,

United Press Stan Correspondent.
NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-America is
getting away to a fine start 10 lose
the 1924 Olympics At a time when
cooperation between all the various
athletic bodies is vitality necessary
bitter dIssension has broken out that
may lead to most anything.
The National Collegiate Asso0fa-
ton. including in its memberfhip
every college. university and confer
ence OF importance in the United
States has refused 10 join the new
American Olympic Association be-
cause Il is a packed" A. A. u. body.
The Army and Navy also refuse 10
Join.
Everyone knows what a mess the
A. A. II. made OF the last olympic
trip and anyone who had first hand
facts and experiences OF that trip
knew that a change In administra-
ton Of Olympic affairs was the 0rst
pressing need IN getting ready for
the 1924 games in Paris.
True. the primary object Of the
trip was achieved. America went
through TO victory, but Il was plain
to be seen from the speedy develop
ment OF the athletes in Finland. Swe-
den and Norway that Uncle sam can
not loaf for three years and IN a few
months before the sail summon a
band OF chosen athletes and send
them over.
Being actuated by strong politi-
cal leanings, the A. A. Y. insists
upon running the Olympic games.
The officers OF the union refused TO
attend meetings called by the COL
leglate association 20 discuss plans
for the next games. and even cast
slurs at the college men.
It is plain TO be seen that Amer
lea will have to depend unon the
college athletes In 1924 and Il seems
strange that the a. a. T.. would an
tagonize the men that would be
called upon 70 develop the wearers
OF the American shield in the next
three years.
10 was proposed al the close Of the
meeting OF the collegiate assoc alton
Thursday that a separate Olympic
body be formed along the lines ap,
proved by the Army and Navy de-
partments. No action was taken
However. it is likely to come and
II the A. A. Il. does not give in a
little bit there may be two bands
OF athletes at the next games. the
A. A. Il. team and the American
team recognized and sent by the gov
ernment.

TOday'S Sport Angle

Major league magnates need have
no further fears as TO winter base
ball.
Six months ago. most OF the big
league club owners were all fused
up over the proposed California
Winter League.
When the scheme was first
launched. Il was supposed 20 take
25 or 80 major league stars to the
coast. This movement caused much
discussion among the magnates.
It was the general belief that the
added terfr weeks would make the
players stale. Likewise tho possi-
hility that some OF them might be
injured was an additional worry.
There was also the fear that some
OF the players might not keep in
condition with nothing at stake.
II was the original intention OF
the magnates to try 10 have Judge
lands stop the post-season games.
Evidently the judge decided It would
be unwise to do so. Il turned out
to be an excellent move not 70 try
to prevent the players from going
to the coast.
Such action would have created III
feeling among the players. That
would have worked against harmony
on the various teams concerned.
The winter league finished the
season. but 1t proved conclusively
these facts:
Coast league fans get enough base
ball during the regular season. I'm
less all the clubs are made up Of
stars, there is little or no interest
only four big leaguers made the
trip-Sisler. Hornsby. Cobb and
Heilman. After having once seen
these four stars, the punch was
gone.
The season was a big failure
financially. Only rain insurance
saved the promoters from a big loss.
The coast league magnates are
now positive that winter BAH is bad
for the game in that section. II
gives the fans too much baseball
and takes the edge of the playing
season.
The permitting OF the four stars
TO 60 to the coast TO launch a winter
league was an excellent thing. II
proved beyond a doubt that there
was no demand for such an organ
ization.

ever carried the ball down the field
with the dazzling speed OF Thorpe.
"Kininger has been mentioned as
the greatest running back In tho his
tory OF the game. The Penn star Is
a great player. However. those who
confer the honor on him Of being
the greatest running back OF all time
certainly never saw Thorpe In ac-
ton.
"He could go skidding through
first and second defense. knock Off
a tackler or two. stop short, turn
past another and escape tho entire
pack. when tackled he could go
.arthor with man hanging on his
legs than any player I ever saw.
"Jim Thorpe was a born football
player He knew everything that a
football player could be taught
and then he could execute the plays
better than any coach ever dreamed
Of"
That is the opinion OF Glen War
ner II is certainly some tribute
Jim Thorpe is now around the A
mark, but as professional player h,
Is still a brilliant performer.

LONDON. Dec. 31.-Jack Demp-
sey and George Cook for the heavy
weight championship OF the world.
I would not be a bit surprised to
see this come about.
II may be a big chance, but I am
going to put my money on Cook to
beat Carpenter and I haven't seen
the Australian work out yet. have
the Frenchman. though. and I don't
like his looks He's gone back so far
that he is taking any chance with
any heavyweight. He's accepting the
risk purely for the coin in II. II Cook
handles him like I think he will.
Georges will be a dead one long be-
fore the end OF twenty rounds.
Plenty Of the British fight experts
saw how Dempsey worked on the
Frenchman and they are constituting
themselves as a board OF strategy at
the Australians camp because they
are beginning to look upon him as a
FEASIBILITY to bring the British name
out Of the heavyweight mud.
Besides the compatriot liking for
Cook. the backwash OF sentiment
against Carpenter in France has had
its effect here. too. He is no longer
the idol and the superman.
II Cook wins. the Carpentier-Gib-
bons fight probably will explode un-
less Tex Rickard is willing 10 try
TO put II over as a light heavyweight
championship go. Even at that
don't think Il would hll the Jersey
City arena at top prices.
Major Wilson who is promoting
the Cook-Carpentier bout, and who
is the only nvewire over here. wants
to match Cook with Dempsey II h'
wins. II ought TO be good card un'
less my judgment has gone miles
astray.
America has no one for Demp-
sey except Brennan. Fulton ans
some more Of the second hands. bu
Cook. especially in England. woul,
be the long sought new face"
Cook is anything but a Joe Beckett

collegiate schedule opens on Thurs
day evening in the local cage with

the first time that Delaware

/ One reason why the opening game

dents OF the university is the fact
that Coach Shipley has given no in
timation as yet as TO who he would
likely start in that game. Captain
frankie Wills is apparently the only
sure member OF the FIVE for the
game and he will no doubt start at
