Four Marks Lowered By Swimmers In Chicago
 Meet

CHICAGO, Dec. -Four worlds swimming records and two scholastic marks were broken in the seven .eenth annual Cook county ,nterscho- lastic tank meet last night at the Illinois Athletic club.
 Johnny Wei5smuiler, JoEE Farley and Miss Sybil Bauer of the I. A. G., and Miss Peggy Williamson of the Milwaukee A. C., were the experts who. navigated to. new records.
 Weismul1er. swimming without competition, went 100 meters in 5S S-5, clipping 70 2-5 from the old record mark held by Norman Ross.
 Miss Williamson clipped four sec onds from the world record for wom- ems 22o-yard breast stroke, finishing in S:35 4-5. Agnes Geraghty of the New York Woman's Swimming asso- citation held the previous record.
 Miss Bauer slashed 32-5 seconds from the old mark of 1:24 for the 100 meter back stroke, but failed 10 realize an ambition to reduce her own world record of 1:15 4-5 for 100 yards when only one-timer caught her at that distance. Since only one watch timed her, the referee refused to cite the 1OO-yard swim tine as 8 record. sas
 Farley reduced his own world mark of 1:10 3-5 for the 100yard breast stroke by one second.
 Miss Ethel Lacl1ie of the I. A. c. tried hard to reduce her world mark of :O5 2-5 in the 100-yard sprint, but could only equal it..
 The scholastic marks to fall were the 100-yard breast stroke and the medley relay records. Basking of Englewood, which won the meet. took the first event in 1:15, and the second went to his school in 2:12 S5.

Micks Haue 8 Games

SOUTH BEND. Ind, Dec. 7.--The Notre Dame football schedule for 1924 will be held to eight games, it was decided at meeting of the ath- letic board today. The team for the past several years has been playing ten games season. Members of the board said their action in cutting the schedule was neeessitated because of interference of football games with class work of team members.
 The board did not decide whether Wisconsin will be given a place on the 1924 schedule, deferring action on the question until next week.
 Coach Rockne left tonight for New York city. where it is believed he will negotiate with an eastern team for game on next seasons schedule.

WGINTY TO FIGHT FEW CHAMPS PUT ON MONDAY WEEK TITLE AT STAKE
Battles During Next Few Weeks Will Not Have Any
 Titles Swinging

NEW YORK, Dec. 57.-Unable to en- 1 tice any world champion into the ring to defend their titles, the match makers of Madison Square Garden are compelled to offer imitation cham pions in the fight now arranged for the near future. The same trouble apparently besets Philadelphia pro- motors now that the Pennsylvania law requires official decisions.
 Two world champions have. agreed to fight in New York in the near future, but not with their titles at stake. Thus, Harry Greb. holder of the middleweight hampionship. will be taking no chances when he fights Gene Tunney Monday night in the | Garden because they will go to it as | light heavies. Tunney holds the so- called American light heavyweight chan. pionship and this will be staked anything.
 The same situation will prevail when Johnny Dundee, the feather weight champion, fights Jack Bern stein on December IT. They will go in at 1S0 pounds, above the feather weight limit, so Dundee will have nothing to lose but some teeth. Bern stein holds a title equally as pHoney as that held by Tunney-the junior 1 lightweight championship, which also means nothing.
 Cautiously, Tunney won his tin title from Greb and Bernstein won his 1 from Dundee so that the most iu-- portant thing that can happen is a
 tradebacI1 of something that nobody ] wants.
 Phancllo Villa, the flyweight cham pion, now goes incognito when he
 visits Pennsylvania for fear some
 one of his weight will win a decision
 over him in a street car and take the title. Unable to get Villa, the Phila delphia promoters have landed l Frankie Genaro for fight Wa Al Petingill of New Orleans. In this
 there will be at stake the American FlyWeight title held by Genaro. | which is about as important as a
 cinder in a glass eye.

ORDERLY MEETING. ". C. A. EXPECTED
Stormy Debates That Fea- tured Previous Golf Meet
 ings Absent

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.--Only routine affairs are on the program for the annual meeting of the Western Golf association tomorrow night. so far as could be learned today after meet ing ot the executive committee with President Charles o. Pfeil of Mem phis In recent years the association kas taken advantage of it's constitu- ton that the executive committee may take any action whatever. sub ject to review at the next annual meeting.
 In former years there were some stormy debates at the meeting over what steps should be taken to force the United States Golf association to more liberal treatment of the west ern golfers, but these were sup planted by quiet action by the execu- tive committee and later there grew up such harmony between the two bodies that friction ceased. On a threat few years ago to reorganize the western association in an att tempt to supplant the U. $. G. A., better representation was granted to the west and now the association are in harmony.
 1t is reported that committees from the various golfing associations are considering ways and means of mod ernizing and popularizing control or the game in America; and, while nothing officially has yet heen an- nounced, followers of the game pre- dict that possiblsy. in a few months a plan will be announced to revive the golf control in the United States with a scheme in view to procure some concessions from St. Andrews on simplification of the rules.
 with the reelection of officers assured selection of links for the 1924 tournaments will take up most of the attention at the Women's Golf association meeting. Reports by President Pfeil, Secretary Joseph w. Busch and Treasurer A. C. Allen are expected to show the most success ful year in the history of the or ganization since it's formation in 1899 At that time only few clubs comprised the association, but today with more than 400 member clubs, it is the largest golf association in
