TOday'S Sport Angle

THE sport is the thing" was once
the slogan in all athletic competi-
tion INDUCED in by the colleges.
ITO win." seems 10 be the thing
in these days Of keen comptition It
is now the survival OF the fittest.
No longer can a coach hold his job
for any great length OF time unless
he gets results. To the victor be-
longs the spoils is the modern view
point
For three or four years the Uni
verify OF California has hogged the
sporting spotlight on the coast. The
coming OF Andy Smith former Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania star. was the
start OF the great success that Cali
fornia has enjoyed in football
Leland Stanford has taken a back
seat as far as the gridiron game is
concerned. Compared with Cali
fornia It is a simply a small town col
iege.
Stanford wants action in football
In order TO improve the standard OF
football. Glenn Warner, famous
coach Of the University OF Pittsburg,
is on the coast 10 talk over the foot
ball situation.
Recently University Of Minnesota
turned Coach Williams loose after he
had been in charge OF football for
22 years. williams was not deliver
ing Minnesota was making a feeble
showing in football
There is no doubt but that a win
ming football team is great adver-
tising feature for a college. Sue
cess in athletics attracts many.
Not only are athletics affected by
wining team, but the general stu
dent body as weli.' Even the fellow
who takes no part in any branch Of
sport likes TO point with pride TO the
prowess OF the athletics from his
college.
Football is a big thing. but as
Coach Yost says IL is not bigger
than the college itself

HANOVER.

The last game was one entirely
different from the general run of
Church League games and was we'll
worth the price OF admission. It
was a defensive game from start to
finish. one In which very few shots
were taken az the basket.
During the progress OF the game
the five-man defense was worked by
both teams, and Il was almost inn
possible for a man TO get through
either team. and close enough to
the basket to make a shot. As a
consequence but three field goals
were registered. Brandywine gct-
ting two and Second Baptist the
other
Black's boys put up the same class
OF bail they played when they de-
feated the champion Grace Ave and
held out until the last five minutes
OF play when Naylor Gagged one from
| the corner OF the floor on one
hand drive. This seemed 10 take the
life out OF the Baptists for after
that the Brandywine boys got three
more field goals from under tho
basket.
During the game several long
shots were tried but they All bound
ed or the basket and some did not
even come near the hoop.
Lowry Nayior and Worth played
a great game. and are responsible
[ for Brandywine's holding Second
Baptist TO such a low score
At the end Of half time Brandy

The Detroit team had trouble
with those two sports last year. and
as a result the Tigers didn't do very
well.
All Of which leads US up to the
question as to which club In the
major leagues has the best inheld
defense.
The Sdditlon OF Heine Groh to the
New York Giants just about brings
that honor to McGraw's aggrega-
tion.
The coming OF Groh gives Nc
Graw the two leading third sackers
In the National League. Since both
OF them canpot be used at that posi-
tion. McGraw will be forced to
make a shift.
Groh is a veteran, and has played
third base for such a long time that
McGraw will undoubtedly do his ex-
perimenting with Frisch. No doubt
Frisch will prove to be as valuable
a second baseman as he was on
third.
An infeld made up of Groh at
third. Bancroft al short Frlsch at
second and Kelly on first Is a mighty
. fine combination. There are other
first basemen who are perhaps more
hashy than Kelly. but the big fell
low plays a mighty acceptable first.
In addition McGraw has Rawlings
in reserve. Rawlings Is a mighty
good man to have around. as he can
hll in anywhere on the inheld with
the exception OF first base, He is
the aggressive type so much in favor
with McGraw.
There are a number OF other good
= mhelds in the two leagues, but Il is
doubtful II any OF them will quite
measure up 10 the standarl set by
the Giants

With Short Term Treas
ury Certificates to Make
Up Balance
HARDING OPPOSES
TAXES AND BONDS
President Is Preparing
Letter Setting Forth
His Opinion

Washington, d. G.. Feb. lJ.-~With
President Harding known to oppose
both additional taxes and a bond IS
sue, Republican leaders Of the House
began casting about to-day for other
means of financing the soldiers bo-
nus.
Representative Mondell Of Wyoming
during visit to the White House said
pending appropriation bills, particu-
larly those for the navy and army,
would be scritinized carefully with a
view to slashes that would provide a
good measure of the money needed. 1t
was his thought that any deficiency
could be made up through issue OF
short term treasury certificates.
Mr.. MondeIl did not see President
Harding, who was understood to be
letter to Chairman Me
Cumber Of the Senate finance commit
tee. setting forth his views against
the suggested eight point program and
an issue of five-year treasury notes.
: A short term note issue to provide
funds for the bonus apparently still
was uppermost to-day in the minds OF
some OF the senators dealing with the
problem but they were keeping an
open mind until they had received the
letter. Ii Il understood,
however, that all of them did not share
the administration views as to the
probable effect of such an issue on the
operation of the govern
nent.
