WILLIAMS MADE
 WORLDS RECORD
Auburn. Star Kicked Two Longest Goals In Sin
 gle Game

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 13.- '.Buckshot" Williams, sensational Au- burn halfback, established a worlds record, in theopinion of eastern sport writers and statisticians, commenting on the remarkable kicking feats made by Williams in the game against Clem- son during the 1924 season.
 Williams booted the ball between the uprights from the 50-yard line while standing two feet from the side lines, the ball travelling approximately 55 yards before going between the posts. The second kick was from the 45-yard line and was also from a diff ficult angle. Witnesses to the re- markable feat declare that the first kick would have been good from the 60-yard line as it travelled for con siderable distance after bisecting the bars.
 One sport writer consulted by local enthusiastis called attention to the kicking record for a single game when J. R. Dewitt of Princeton in the Princeton-Cornell game in 1902 kicked a placement from the 50 and then from the 45-yard line. This was said to be the nearest approach to the record es- tablished by Williams.
 Local supporters of Auburn directed the inquiries to nationally known sport followers in an endeavor to ascertain If this amount of distance had ever been made in single games for two kicks.

 CIRCLING GLOBE
A. A. U. Forming League Of Athletic
 Nations

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-What might be termed "The League of Athletic Ma tions" is developing through the en- deavors of the Amater Atheltic union.
 Two national sprinting champions, Charles Paddock of California, and Murchison of New Jersey will carry America's invitation to foreign lands next year with exhibitions in Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Ger many and Sweden and perhaps else where, step described by Murray Hull bert. president of the A. A. U., as a true linking of the peoples.
 Meanwhile, leading atheltees of the United States are preparing to Jump the Panama Canal in a renewed effort to link the Americans.
 Basket ball, boxing and even baseball, as developed in the United States, have found root in Mexico with the capital the center of activities. The Mexico City Y. NJ. c. A. sent native basket bali team to tour New England and Springfield college is sending team or gymnasts there this winter.
 Manager John McGraw, of the Giants, promise to carry professional baseball into South America next season and ne again will attempt the conversion of Europe.
 Boxers have come from the southern continent to reap harvest in the protes- sional game in the United States. Firpo from the Argentine, is an example Ouintin Romero has come from Chile to meet heavyweights. Luis Vicentini is candidate for lightweight honors. From the Isthmus of Panama came Jose Lom bardo to seek the featherweight boxing crown.
 Already the leading nations of tho world are linked by horse racing, polo and tennis and to some extent by soccer and hockey but the effort of the A. A U. appears to be the first organized at tempt to bring South America into definite league of sport nations. Int campaign will open with amateur box ing championships in North Americs next year. The following season vii find the United States representatives clashing on foreign soil.
 The A. A. U. program also considers Canada, which has it's professional an' amateur baseball and boxing but ha not adopted the American game of foot ball. McGill university has tried thu game with little success.

before us for three straight games. How long this was to keep up we did not know. The papers were full of news about the Washington team. There was as much interest in what we were doing as there was during the past sea son when we maintained a winning streak that took us into the world s se- ries and brought us the championship.
 But every ball team, like the pro- verbal dog, has his day. Our day came on June 19 when Home Run Baker shattered our hopes establish worlds record. We had the game won until Frank Baker faced Tom Hughes in the ninth innig.n Two men were down and Tom had sent over two strikes. It looked ass if the game was over for that day except for the shout ing. When a man like Frank Baker faces a pitcher, almost anything can happen in a ball park.
 Baker Stops Em
 "This was one of the occasions when something did happen. The next ball Baker tipped for vicious foul into Catcher Henrys mitt. The game should have been over right then and there, but Henry let the ball slip out of his grasp, and the agony was prolonged The next ball Hughes shot clear over There was smash and the ball dropped over the right field fence for homer.
 That tied the game and in the tenth inning the Mackmen won the game with hit by Barry and double to right by Lapp. It was a great disappo6int ment to the Washington fans to have us lose that eighteenth game. They thought sure we had a pennant in oul grasp that year, and to us on the team the future looked mighty good ever though the Athletics had stopped us 1T our climb to the top. But fortune favored Boston that year and we hat to content ourselves with the second position. Our hopes for a worlds championship were postponed for l. years.

the discussion that has been going on snice mid-season of last year regarding the possible removal of Little Rock from the southern circuit. The talk of a transfer of the club was based upon a very poor season last year by the local club when the team was last practically all season and attendance declined to almost nothing.
 So far there has been announcement of the selection of a manager to succeed Kid Elberfeld who has gone to Mobile to manage the Bears. Mir. Allen said that he is after good men and that he is after several well-known ball players.

 Tt was clear case of interference but I couldn't make the umpire see 1t that way. The game was over and you aren't going to win any arguments from the umpires after the umpires call it a day. At that, it would have been a crime to call Cobb out for interference after making play as brilliant as that.

Science

An expedition headed by Crown
Prince Adolph of Sweden has
gathered more than half a million
historical objects, the results Of sew
eral years excavations, and has
taken them to Sweden for study.
These articles were found where
once thrived the ancient Greek city
of Asine. The expedition was work
ing on a buried city of 300 B. c.,
and as they dug down they came
upon the remains of another city
and its people that existed in the
year 1900 B. c.
The materials found at this lower
level show great similarity to the
records left by the mysterious peo-
pie of the island of Crete, whose
writings no man has deciphered.
More expeditions for scientific and
historical research are now in the
field than ever before and are bet
ter equipped and better financed
than formerly. One result is that
ancient history is being constructed
so fast that person starting today
to write a book about 1t would find
the book hopelessly out of date be-
fore 1t was published.
