HOWARD ENDS DUTIES
AS NAVY SPORT HEAD

ANNAPOLIS. Md, January 16.-
Commander Douglas L. Howard, for
more than three years athletic officer
at the Naval Academy and secretary
treasurer of the Navy Athletic Asso-
citation, has severed his direct connec-
ton with athletics here and will leave
shortly for the Pacific station, where he
has been ordered.
Commander Howard's regular tour
of duty expired several months ago,
but he has been retained at the acad-
emy by the Navy Department at the
special request Of Rear Admiral
Henry b. Wilson, superintendent Of
the academy, who wished him to
handle the important matters con-
nected with the Army-Nayy foot ball
game, including the distribution of
tickets.
During the administration of Com
mander Howard athletics have de-
TeIoped greatly at the Naval Acad-
emy and the position of The institu-
tion improved in every way. Its re-
lauons with other big athletic coll
leges are excellent and its teams
meet the strongest in nearly every
line of sport Another achievem en- [
OF his administration has been the
organization of remarkable staff of
instructors in physical training and
the different branches of athletics.
There is no doubt that Commander
Howard has had more to do with
foot ball at the Naval Academy than
any other person, having been sue
cessiVely player, team captain, as
sistant coach. head coach and athletic
officer or director.

a case in point is the Princeton
1901 pail schedule for next fall. The
frlhcetonlan, the undergraduate or
gan. IN strong editorial deprecates
conditions that made ie necessary for
the I1gers to arrange to play their
nld-season test game against the
navy on a neutral field. The editor
OF the Princeton daily is under the
impression that the foot ball commit
tee delayed so long in arranging the
1873 schedule that it was forced into
the position of taking anything IL
could get. An anomalous position,
surely, for an eleven that achieved
SO enViable a record in the past
season.
Money Is Essential.
: The chances are, however, that lack
or suitable opponents had nothing
whatever to do with the arranging Of
the Nassau schedule. The editor of
the PrIncetonian would not err, prob
ably, If he were to study the difficulty
from the standpoint of financial ex-
pedlency- A Princeton-Navy game at
the Venable stadium in Baltimore will
draw more than $4,000 spectators at
So per head. Princeton's athletic ex-
penses are heavy.
So far as the Navy is concerned, she
has announced that proceeds from
the Princeton game at Baltimore will
be applied to adding seating accom-
modationS to her new foot ball field
Pittsburgh has applied gridiron re-
ceipts to the construction of academic
buildings. Pennsylvania State will
do likewise. Right now a movement
is on foot in Army and Navy circles
to induce the federal authorities to
permit the service institutions to
charge admission to games-the OBJ
ject being to get funds wherewith
to build an Army-Navy stadium.
Game Is a Producer.
Foot ball is a producer. To greater
or less extent funds derived from the
gridiron support the system of in
tramural sports and all other major
and minor sports, except at Yale,
Harvard, Princeton and Pennsyl-
vania and certain western univer-
stiles, where base ball and basket
ball are at least Self supporting
Therefore, foot ball is a necessary
adjunct to all seats of learning that
go in for sport. and practically all
the major schools in this country do.
This being the case, it is not always
possible to consult the purely sport
ing desires of undergrads and alumni,
not always expedient to arrange
games with other colleges on the
ground Of friendly relations or tradi-
tions and aims that are analogous.

'DERBY NOT TO CONFLICT
W|THPREAKNESS STAKES

LOUISVILLE, Ky, January 16.-
Turf followers here today were dis
cussing the date fixed for the forty
ninth running of the Kentucky
Derby Saturday, May 10, departure
from precedent in that heretofore the
Blue Grass state classic was run on
the opening day of the spring meet
ing at the Downs.
Sport writer's pointed out that the
late date would prevent a clash in
dates with the PreakneSs stakes, to
be run at Pimlico May II. The opin-
ion generally was expressed that the
winner of the PreaknesS would be
brought to contest in the Derby.
The state racing commission was
to be asked today to approve the fol-
lowing dates for the Kentucky
Jockey Club tracks: Churchill Downs,
May IL to June 2, inclusive; Latonia,
June to July z, inclusive.
That these dates would be allowed
was regarded as certain.
In connection with the announce
ment here Monday, following a meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Jockey Club, that the track at Lex
ington had been sold to a syndicate
headed by T. c. Bradley, Lexington
horseman, it was said a request for
dates for spring meeting at that
place also would be presented to the
state commission today.

M 'ALL|STER TIES MARK
FOR S|XTY-yARD DASH

NEW YORK. January 16.-Bob Nc
Allister, the flying cop, who holds the
national 100-yard sprint champion
ship, dashed into the limelight last
night in Madison Square Garden at
the second annual athletic carnival
OF the municipal athletic activities. The
speedy McAllister equaled the word rec
ord of 0:06 2-5, first established in 1882
by Lon Myers.
McAllister recorded his brilliant per-
formance in the closing sprint of a
medley sprinting duel with Loren
Murchison, former st. Louis flash, who
now is competing unattached in the
local district.
The flying cop thundered down the
straightaway laid out in the center of
the garden and breasted the tape an
lnhnftesimal margin ahead of Murchi-
son in the sixty after succumbing
to the former st. Louis runner in the
two previous sprints, one at forty
yards and the other at fifty yards.
McAllister was more at home in the
longer distance than he was in the
forty and fifty yard dashes. He failed
to get up at the shorter distance
but his terrific closing sprint fitted in
appropriately in the last dash of the
medley.
By beating McAllister away from
the mark, Murchison finished inches
ahead In both the forty and fifty
yard dashes. His times were: 0:04 As
and 0:05 3-5.

1O.595 At OHIO STATE
IN SPORTS DURING 1922

More than 10000 students partici-
pated in some form OF athletics at
Ohio State University during the year
1922, according to the report issued
by the department of physical edu-
cation.
The actual figures are 10,595, en-
bracing eighteen different branches
of sport. The total is larger than
that of any other member of the
Western Conference whose intramural
programs are admittedly more highly
developed than in any other section of
the country.
1t is expected that 1928 will estab-
lish a. record which is even greater,
for there will be more than 200 teams
playing basket ball this winter, as
contrasted with 164 last year.
The scope of the intramural pro-
gram and the relative interest In the
various branches are indicated by the
following participation figures for
1929: Indoor track. 2,0S9; outdoor track,
1,747; basket ball, 1.4S9; base ball,

TITLE REGATTA MAY Be
SOUGHT BY BAL T|MORE

BALTIMORE, Md. January 1.-THE
board of governors of the Ariel Row
ing Club will hold a meeting Friday
night to determine the advisability
Of inviting the National Association
of Amateur Oarsmen to hold the an
nual regatta in Baltimore this year.
The Ariels realize that work must
be started at once in order to secure
the regatta, for the executive COM
mittee will meet in New York in
March. This committee decides on
the time and place for the regatta.
The Blue and White club members
are in a better position to entertain
their fellow oarsmen than ever be
fore. The newly erected building at
Broening Park is one of the best ap-
pointed boat clubs in the country and
will afford ample accommodation for
all contestants and spectators.
The question of the course is to be
considered, as 1t will be necessary TO
lay out a new mile-and-a a-quarter
route. The present course in Spring
Gardens is one mile. The matter of
financing the big event does not con-
Germ the Ariels. When the big event
was held in this city, in 1905, no
trouble was found in getting the
money together.
