Miss Gertrude EderIe and Miss
Helen Wainwright Invited to
Invade Foreign Tanks.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3l.-The Won'
ems Swimming Association OF New
York has received an invitation to
send it's two leading girl contestants,
Miss Gertrude Ederle and Miss Helen
Wainwright. the greatest swimmers
of their sex ever developed. on a
connective tour through Great Brit
ain and Sweden. Miss Charlotte Ep-
stein, captain of the association, who
managed the American Olympic mer.
maids at Antwerp in 1920, is asked
to accompany the champion pair as
Chaperon.
The schedule tentatively outlined
includes participation in nearly TWEEN
ty water carnivais in the United
Kingdom and half a dozen in Sweden.
June is suggested as the time for tn"
visit, so that the girl swimmers will
not miss any important home engage
ments, sailing after the last OF the
national indoor championships and
returning In time for the first of the
outdoor title tests.
While the proposed tour will have
to be sanctioned by the w. S. A.
Board of Governors before the invita-.
ton is accepted. Miss EdPrle and Miss
Wainwright yesterday declared them
selves eager for the trip. and one Of
the officers of the organization stated
IL was virtually certain the board
would grant its approval.

Pennsylvania Alumni
Anxious For Tiger
Grid Game

Alumni Of Pennsylvania are said
to be trying to revive interest in
renewal of football relations be-
tween the Red and Blue and
Princeton. 1t has been suggested
several times within the past Jew
years but little headway has been
made.
This latest interest in the game
has been started by the Harvard
Yale Princeton compact to sched-
ule no intersectional games after
January /. 1t is believed that
these natural rivals may get to-
gether within the next few
seasons according to the opinion
of prominent Red and Blue
graduates.

TEAM ON MAP IN SOUTH

The Louisiana State football
eleven. which will play Rutgers in
New York on Election Day at the
Polo Grounds, started football down
on the bank of the lower mississippi
when the game was as little known
at Baton Rouge as if il were a
game Uf foreign birth.
Louisiana State has been putting
its shoulder to the athletic wheel
in the South for the last twelve
Years. and has turned out some
splendid teams.
Louisiana State has won from
some of the best college elevens in
the South and has gained victory
over the Texas Aggies. which is
equivalent to defeating one of the
intermediate teams OF the North
The eleven is fast, tackles well, and
has confidence in its first visit to
the North.

make the trip, everything north Of

and subsequently amended II. This

The privilege Is being abused in

droming their way around the coal

received in official circles here. II
Is also hinted that not a few OF the
stars are giving the sunrise quite
a play.
In consequence, some OF the base
ball played by them has not savored
OF major league standards, and in
general a bad impression is gaining
foothold in the territory invaded.
A determined war on the rule,
therefore, is promised at the Decem.
Der meetings. Hardly magnate in
the East now favors the proposition.

Of the current indoor season, &C.

The Dempsey Gibbons affair II
simmering right at the moment.
Ricksrd will have a conference
with Jack Kearns today. and II the
latter Is amenable to reason, the
bout will be signed. sealed and de.
nvered forthwith.
Rickard is in receipt Of letter
from M. Hellers, manager Of Sikh. in
which the promise Of the Senegalese's
appearance here Is made. The pr.
moter declined to make the letter
public, but seemed to be satisfied
with whatever explanation was OF.
fered on the interesting business of
Sikh turning up missing for an earlier
date with Norfolk.
''It Is my idea to show every avail
able champion in the Garden ring be.
fore the end of the season." Rickard
informed the writer today. 81 think
Q Dempsey Gibbons bout will be an
interesting Oh. because Gibbons. to
my way Of thinking. has proved that
he Is the best OF the heavyweight
contenders. But ! will not be held
up for q large percentage of the gate

Is gone. =,
That, however, will be threshed

with Kearns today.
Leonard will go through with the
White bout sjust as soon as his den.
lists give the word. Britton and
Villa are already scheduled to appear
and I have the assurance of NJ. Hel.
lers that Sikh, his man-ape, will be
on in January. The bout with Nor.
folk will be put on the following
month. Greb and Tunney. I think,
would be h big number in a return
engagement. although I have done
nothing about 1t as yet.
"As for the other champions. ! can
say nothing. The only featherweight
