OLD nineteen hundred and tw, atty
- two has been no, ordinary year.
II has done its bit-a big bit--in
making sport history. There have
been more changes in the athletic
Kingdoms in one 12-month Pc
riod than Is usually the case in
two or three OF them, Champions
have arrived more rapidly than
changes In women's styles.
And as a new year dawns we find
youngsters moving up to strategic
positions, ready TO assault present
champions. and rob them of their
laurelS.
Youngsters rose with much might
the past II months. They grabbed
crowns thought safely glued TO gray
thatched heads. They broke records
that had stood for years and years.
Only in spots have the champions
maintained their laurels. They are
the exceptions.
The New York Yankees and the
New York Giants again showed their
heels to the baseball wor!d--but
only after bitter struggles. And
much to the surprise Of fandom

Athletics during the 1922 were
conducted on a sounder basis than
ever before and enjoyed by a con-
sanity expanding army Of devotees

An average attendance OF $4,000

the capacity of the Polo grounds
prevented larger turnouta.
Some Outstanding Achievements.
From an International standpoint
the year perhaps lacked many of
the outstanding accomplishments Of
It's Immediate predecessor, but IL
was not altogether without It's big
moments OF this kind. There was.
for Instance, the victories of Tilden
and Johnston in defending the Davis
Acup against the tennis experts OF
Ahe world, the winning OF the dia-
'Ynond skulls at Henley, England, by
Walter Hoover; the turning back of
the foreign invaders at Brookline by
Jess Sweetser in winning the ma
tioaal amateur golf pionship,
and the successful defense by the
MeadQwbrook big four" Of the in
ternational cup against the NArgen-
tine poloists.
Those were the dominant figures
OF the athletic year, in addition to
George Sisler, Rogers Hornsby and
John McGraw in baseball and Gene
Sarazen in golf. Singularly enough
however, football. boxing and racing
were minus their usual quota Of
great names.

NO OUTSTANDING
FOOTBALL ELEVEN
DURING THE YEAR
But Princeton's Team Of
Destiny Has the Best
Claim for HOnOrs

With the usual lack Of clarity, the
football season ended with no def
mite leader having established Its
claim TO the national title, In some
cases even sectional leadership was
in dispute.
In the east, for example, Prince
ton, Cornell. the Army and West
virginia completed unbeaten sea-
sons, and each feels that II has a
valid claim to the championship.
Princeton is recognized in some
quarters as the leading eleven of'the

Sectional Friction.
Something Of the same condition
exists In the middle west. NJ chi
gan and Iowa won all OF their con-
ference games, and, in addition, the
Hawkeyes came east and disposed
of Yale. A comparison OF Big Ten
scores favors Michigan somewhat
but this fact is counterba lanced by
the conference standing, which
shows Iowa the winner OF five games
to Michigan's four.
The University OF California, how
ever, established a clear leadership
in the Pacific Coast conference ana
in fact, through the entire Rocky
mountain district, and Vanderbilt
