Jake Schaefer's Billiard
Title Ready To Be Shot At

The billiard title of Young" Jake
Schaefer, 1872 balkline champion, will
be hung on a peg for the cut stars
or the world to scramble for within
few days in New York And looming
up as the dark horse in the tourna-
ment for the worlds championship is
Welker Cochran.
Cochron was heralded as hoy
wonder" about the time Schaefer was
rising to the dizzy heights from which
he now looks down on the billiard
world, He even gave Willie Hoppe
concern and the veteran champ re-
marked once that Cochran was the
man who some day might question his
right TO the title.
Then Cochran listened to the lure
of red ball and .4er variations CT
the game and as result fell off il
his balkline game. Two years ago he
awoke and forsook all except the 1871
and 1872 sport. The change was not
iceable in few weeks.
Last year he served notice that he
was about ready by finishing third
in the international tourney at Chs
,cago. Schaefer and Hoppe led him.
This year his tournament and exh:-
bition play has been the best he has
shown in his career.

Hnumd-C Centre Relations
Bore True Sportsmmship;
May Cut OFF Relationship

Genuine regret is expressed over the
decision of the Big Three" to stop in
tersectional games IN the future. Har-
ward did not want to sever the pleas
ant relations with Centre College. On
the contrary, the Crimson officials
liked the little southern college. as the
Harvard coaches figured it a valuable
game for the development of the team.
Mred More. manager of athletics at
Harvard, told Charley Morgan, Centre
coach, that the Crimson always learned
something good in the Centre game.
Even if Centre cannot go back TO
Harvard, it does not mean that the
"Prayin' Colonies" will not be seen in
the future in the east It is under
stood that both Cornell and Columbia
would like to bring the southerners to
the Yankee stadium next fall.
Centre had some mighty nice things
to say about the way they were treat
ed on their three visits to Harvard.
Harvard, think is one of the-finest
universities. in the country" Coach
Moran said. They couldn't do enough

team in the country cannot have the
privilege of seeing first hand how Har-

Harvard has been criticized for many
things in the past and probably will
be in the future, but no athletic team
that ever went to Cambridge said that
the Crimson athletes and students
were anything but perfect gentlemen

U. S. GETTING READY
FOR 1924 OLYMPICS

After lot of petty little pickering
around, movements finally have been
made to do something constructive to
get the United States ready for the
1924 Olympic games.
Acting rather graciously to break
what looked like deadlock of poif-
tics, the A. A. q. has made some con-
cessions to their opposing faction that
no doubt will get all branches of am
ateur athletics working tremendously.
The American Olympic Association.
in calling meeting for Nov. % in
Washington, announced a change in
the voting power of the various affil-
lated organizations which reduced the
A. A U. from IS to % votes. Under
this plan, the Army, the Navy and Ma
tional Amateur Athletic Federation,
which objects to the control of the A
A. u, no doubt will join.
Five hundred members from al
branches of athletics in all sections of
the country will be named on the
Olympic committees at this meeting,
and plans will be adopted to raise
funds to finance the trip of the Ameri-
can team to Paris.
Talk of holding the 1928 Olympic
games in the United Staes is not be-
ing taken seriously by the A. a. L.
officials. They are of the opinion that
America would not be selected, even
if they wanted the games here and
they are not sure that they want them.
1t wouldn't be as much fun for the
athletes and the officials to get into
the subway and go out to the Yankee
stadium as to grab a nice liner and
go away on party to Europe

rs County Clerk Bernard NJ. Gan
non recognized as county leader by

This is the question that is being
asked in Democratic circles about
the county today. since 1t became
generally known that the county
clerk had received from the State
Democratic headquarters a supply
of petitions to be signed for the
nomination of Judge S. Silzer, Cor
governor and Governor Edwards for
United States senator.
The county politicians expressed
surprise at this turn of affairs and
it did not take many minutes for
those interested in the politics OF the
county to inform their friends con-
corning a matter in which they put
much significance. Many points TO
the old saying that politics make
strange bed fellows" and declared
that although appearances for
time seemed to point to Cannon
hold on the county being overthrown
that indications today are that he
is making a strong come back.
Although it was generally sup
posed and expected that Governor
Edward /. Edwards would name the
surrogate to succeed Mr.. Clayton, as
soon as Judge Silzer announced his
candidacy for governor, no one had
been named as yet. For a wnile
there seemed to be considerable I'M
patience shown on the part of some
OF the Democrats in the delay IN
naming a surrogate to succeed MT
Clayton, but since the announce
ment by Mr.. Silzer that he Will DC
a candidate for governor. things
have somewhat settled down. 1t IS
common belief that Mr.. Kirkpatrick
will be named the surrogate, but
those who are on the outside won

1t is the belief in Republican cir

was defeated by Daniel w. Clayton,
deceased, for surrogate, will be the
on the Republican ticket
in the coming primary against John
p. Kirkpatrick. who Is to be the
Democratic candidate. 1t is held
that il Forman runs he will receive
