MILTON ENTERS

Winner of Last Years Classic at In.
dianapOlis VIII Attempt TO
Repeat

Indianapolis. Feb. 23.-Tommy
Milton, the 1921 A A A. champion
driver, the worlds speed king. and
winner of the last Indianapolis
500-mile race, has filed his entry
for the 1922 five century at Indian
apolis on May So The much titled
driver has nominated the eighth
car for the race and will carry No.
g. the number which gave Joe Daw-
son and the National a victory in
1872
In making his entry Milton has
not disclosed the make of car he
will drive in the coming race After
he won the last 500-mile with Louis
Chevrolet'S eight cylindereI Front
enac, he turned his attention to the
Durant Special, which was not
completed in time for the Hoosier
classic, and. finishing out the sea
son with this car. won the cham
pionship. The car was constructed
by Harry Miller, the Los Angeles
engineer, and is a very fast car
1t is possible that Tommy may
drive this car in the 500-mile but
he has not announced his intentions
and probably the wealthy st. Paul
dairyman is going to have a new
mount for 1922.
Milton has come to the front in
the last few years and in 1920 he
drove the 16-cylinder creation of
Fred Duesenberg faster than any
automobile has ever travelled, aver

sands at Daytona. Fla, and smash

SUB TO CAPTAIN NOTRE DANE

Notre Dame university is moth
ing if not original in football.
Last year Notre Dame with its
varied formations introducing the
forward pass was the sensation OF
the football world.
Despite its defeat by Iowa, many
of the critics rated Notre Dame as
Just about the best football team
in the country.
Then came the football scandal
which caused about a dozen Notre
Dame athletes to be declared in
eligible, because they played for
money after the close OF the COL
lege season.
Now comes Notre Dame with
something new in the selection OF
a football captain.
1t is rather the exception for a
substitute to be selected to the cap
taincy of such a prominent institu-
ton as Notre Dame.
Glenn Carberry has just been
elected football leader for 1922. He
has been a substitute end for the

Golf in the south this winter does
not seem likely to develop any new
material likely to achieve preemi-
nent distinction in the northern
tournaments later in the year. This
is somewhat of a reversal from
last winter when the play on south
ern courses brought out number
of players who performed well
enough to be closely watched. Pos
sibly the better golfers are post
poning their southern trips until
the fields work back further to the
northward.
Play during the Florida season
has been good but not startling.
There has been plenty of golf for
amusement and plenty of private
matches. But so far, play has not
been such as to shape play for pos
sible contestants in the national
feature events so that they may
start the season in top form.
Players from the middle west
have been going quite well on the
winter courses but none stands out
as a competitor likely to stir things
up in a national championship.
Public Courses Popular.
Municipal golf has never had
such impetus in and around New
York as it has acquired this win
ter. This is shown not so much by
the number of players who have
braved the winter winds on the
municipal links but by the number
who have applied for the privilege
of the municipal courses for the
coming season. 1t begins to look

middleweight's spirited battle
against Mike McTigue, the Canadian
champion middleweight, and a

Young Fisher resembles Harry

That is to say, he combines the ac-

Gibraltar jaw and midriff of the
most famous wallop-eater known to

Fisher was much shorter than Nc

the Canadians jaw, he had to jump

GRID GAME IS
BECOMING YEAR
AROUND SPORT
Winter Practice at Le-
high Is Latest
Move.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
Football is rapidly becoming an
all year round game. There was a
time when football occupied the at
tention of the amateur sport world
mainly from the second week in
September to Thanksgiving day.
That time has passed, however.
Now teams have spring practice
and preliminary season practice
and in addition courses are offered
at several institutions in which
coaches are instructed in rudimentS
Of football training, throughout the
entire summer. The University of
California has just added such a
summer session. The latest limo
walton, however, has been inaugu-
rated at Lehigh by Bozey Ritter, di-
rector of physical education and
former Princeton halfback, who
mas started winter practice.
Would Gust Paid Coach.
Another new angle of college ath-
letics has been outlined by Presi-
dent Meiklejohn of Amherst, who
has asked Yale, Harvard and
Primo eton to hold a conference to
discuss disarming college athletics
by Diminishing all paid coaches.
An intercollegiate game is or
ought to be a contest between the
undergraduates of the two compel
ing colleges" says DR.. Meiklejohn.
Our games are managed by out
siders, coached by outsiders, and.
IL
gree, played by outsiders"
Vigorous arguments on the other
side of this question were provoked
at the recent meeting of coaches
and officials at New York when Tad
Jones, Yale football coach, object
ed to the return to the game of a
player who had once been taken
out. He did not propose to limit
/ the use of substitutes but argued
/ that the return to the game of a
man once removed often was for
the purpose of conveying informa-
ton regarding an alteration in the
style of play. Sanford of Rutgers
and O'NeilI of Columbia took Vio-
/ lent exception to this. In the argu-
ment that followed Sanford voiced
the belief that the coach should go
/ in and direct the game Is,
that the game should be played by
IL players and the coach.
Restrict Coaches.
DR.. Clarence W. Mendell, chair
man of the Yale athletic board of
control, while he holds that foot
ball is too great game to be lost,
agrees with DR.. Meiklejohn that the
coaches activities during games
! should be restricted. He declared
/ he did not favor abolition of
/ coaches but said he would insure
the playing of the entire game b.
the undergraduate after they had
been trained by the best coaches
I available. This he would accom-
plish by keeping coaches in the
grandstand or at home during
games. DR.. Mendell is vigorous in
his stand against the so-called
tramp" athlete and even goes so
far as to favor a rule barring any
men from representing one college
who ever had represented another
DR.. John Grier Hibben of Prince
ton is no less emphatic. He de-
clares that the only way to lift the
blight of suspicion on college ath-
letics is through clean sportsman
like play by men OF unquestioned
amateur standing.
