 sion at many universities that engi- neering students are outsiders as far as athletics go. Difficult scholastic schedules and plenty of demands on the midnight oil are counted upon to keep the ''teGh'' youngsters busy enough without giving them any op- portunity to enter varsity sport com petition. The University of Nebraska is big exception to the rule. Wheel CT, Nixon, House and McGlasson, four of the gridiron regulars who brought the Missouri Valley conference foot ball title back to the Cornhusk cam pus, and Bowman. who bore the wing ed "N'' to victory in every cross country meet staged by Nebraska last year, are students of the uniVersuty'.4 engineering school.

Jim O'Connell, star first baseman of the San Francisco Seals, for whom the Giants recently paid the record price of s75.OOO, is quoted by Jack Knight, one time Yankee, to be all that he has been touted to be. How ever, Jack says O'Conneu is subject to sensitiveness when being guyed on the diamond. If Jim is attacked in the same manner as some other youngsters have been the question arises whether he will be able to with stand the attack and play his best game.
 Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals, has been quoted as say ing that with two more pitchers the Cardinals will make a big bid for the National league championship next season, and he said he had rec commended 'eVic' Aldridge, once of the Cubs, to Branch Hickey as one of the men needed to help win a flag for St. Louis.
 This is what Hornsby said: "Give us two more good pitchers and you may see the Cardinals in the worlds series next year. Bill Pertica of the Angels was a good pitcher for us d turing the past season, and am told that A1dridge is just as good.
 we just lacked the pitching to win the flag this year. And the fail ure of a couple of our men to be in shape the opening of the season cost us the flag.

HUGHEY ROSS FIT
 FOR ROSENBERG GO

Hughey Ross is in New York today where he expects to box Dave Rosen- berg in the star bout tonight at the Pioneer S. c. Rosenberg was origin lily booked to fight Augie Rather, but owing to the latter being 'in bad" with the New York boxing auth critics because of his failure to keep a recent date with Louis Bogash, Ross was substituted as Rosenb erg's opponent.
 In RosenEb erg, Ross will face a boxer who is the possessor of a real punch Rosenberg demonstrated this a few weeks ago when he decisively beat Jnmmy Darcey. He is also a fighter who carries the battle to his opponent on tireless fashion. He seems to be at his best when weigh ing in the neighborhood of 15S ponds Fhom present indications Ross is likely to have his hands full

jump record credited to P. O'Connor
 of Ireland, with a leap of "A feet,
 II 3-4 inches made in 1901. This record was surpassed last July when D. O. Gourdin of Harvard jumped
 25 feet, 3 inches, in the dual meet between Cambridge vs. Yale Harvard at Cambridge.
 Taking the records as they appear
 in the latest official list, however, it is shown that the American ath- lete is better in more events in the record list than any one other na- tionality. Every record from 100 yards to one mile is held by a Unit ed States athlete. From two to 25 miles English runners hold sway although most of these times were made in the early nineties. In metric running records Finland, Swe- den and France hold all but the sprintS which go to American ath- letes. Walking records are held by pedestrians of Great Britain, Canada and Denmark.
 Substituting Gourdin's new record ing records are in the hands of American athletes and the same is true of the weight events. Finland, Sweden and the United States divide honOrs in the discus and javelin competitions. Canada gets two hur- dle records as E. J. Thomson of Dartmouth college was born across the border, All others are held by United States murders. Of the ten relay race records eight are held by American teams; one by Great Bri- tain quartet and the other by a Swed- ish combination.

NO DISTURBANCE ON
 ARRIVAL OF WALES
 BY RANG00N PEOPLE

Rangoon, Feb. 20-The attitude of the people toward the Prince of Wales was indicated on his arrival here today. The Prince was given without any attempt being made at violence. Yet the stands erected to seat the crowds were not nearly nll- ed. A large per cent. of the people who turned out to greet the Prince were children from government schools and government-aided mis- sion schools who were required to be present.
 The national or native schools gave their quarterly examinations, for the expressed purpose of preventing the students from greeting the Prince. In the stand where The Associated Press correspondent was stationed seats or gave any form of deferentia1 greeting as the Prince passed by.
 Personal inquiry showed that in the bazaar district a strict harta1 0boycott) was being observed. Prac- ticaHy all the Burmese and Indian of the Princes visit Most of the Chinese places remained open. Very few gharries (carriages), except pri- vate ones, were seen in the streets.
 The Prince came here by the steamer Dufferin from Calcutta, where he had been since Dec. 24. While there he received the honorary cutta University and dedicated the Victorial Memorial. the cornerstone of which had been laid by his father. A harta1 was observed when the Prince arrived in Calcutta
 The Prince was received at the University of Rangoon. He was given a reception at the Government House.

New Yorker he stands an excellent chance of being matched to meet Jack Delaney in the next Bridgep ort A. & A. show.
 Ross is extremely anxious to meet the conquorer of Bogash and is con fident he can beat him. Ross is in returned from Panama where he en- gagged in six victorious com'bats. Ross also put away three Dixie middle weights while on his way North.
 There is consid erab1e local interest centered in tonight's bout between Charley White, Chicago lightweight and Willie Jackson, which will be staged in the Garden. It is expected that Champion Benny Leonard will be ma tened to fight the winner.
 In the meantime there is talk of Jack Delaney being matched up to fight Tom Gibbons, Jeff Smith, Harry Greb. Bryan Downey and others

Americas nearest competitor for the honor of leading the world in the matter of record holders is Great Britain whose athletes have mark ed up the best time or distance in twenty eight events. Denmark and Finland are tied for third place with seven records each. No other na- ton approaches the versatility of the American athlete for the United States performers have established records in six out of the seven groups of competition into which the worlds records events naturally di- vide themselves.
 No Walking Records.
 This country is without a record which Great Britain and Finland tied with Great Britain in the run ming records, each nation having thirteen to it's credit. The United States holders are confined to the sprints and the shortest distance runs. Great Britain's stars hold a majority of the long distance run ming records.
 These records as published in the official athletic almanac were for merly adopted at the conference of the I. A. A. F. last May Since that meeting several American and for eign athletes have bettered records now listed but these cannot be off cia1ly considered worlds records un- til accepted by the l. A. A.

Crosby Bar, Is Still On Game

Waterbury, Feb. 2O.-CroSby's scheduled games with the Bridge port high have been called off for next week as the board of health has not yet lifted the ban on iIl- ter-city athletic contests, owing to the small pOx scare in the Park City.
 Health Officer pr. Thomas J. Kilmartin states that he has no power to allow the resumption of the games between the two cities. As the health board passed the vote restricting the contests, it is entirely up to that body to lift the ban and this has not been done yet.
 Crosby may fill the gap in the schedule by booking another double header here some night next week.
