SKATING MEET
 SLATED JAN. 1
Red Flannels Overlaid With CoOnskin Coats Come Back

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Those un- fortunates who are so hard pressed to keep out of the sun and avoid sunburn down in Miami, Lakeland and Los Angeles may be cheered to learn that the first big outdoor ice skating tourna- ment of the season will be held at Newburgh, N. Y., on New Years Day. A sort of preliminary meet will be run off on Dec. 2S at Eagle Rock, up in the icy fastenesses of the Orange mountains of New Jersey.
 Red flannels overlaid with coonskin coats will be the mode and there is scarcely any demand for sunshades or fans.
 Joe Moore, boy from the region of tall buildings, cabarets and show-shops he comes from district just west of the New York tenderlion-will be the most formidable entrant for the middle At lantic skating championship in the Newburgh meet, which will be super vised by the international skating union. Moore was champion two years ago but lost the title last year to Paul Forsman of New York City who is now temporarily out of action because of ill., ness. Charles Jewtraw of Lake Placid one of the best American skaters, the only American winner in the Olympic sports at Chamonix, France, last winter. also will be absent from the Newburgh show, but Vincent Bialis, Richard Donovan and Pat Corcoran, all familiar names to arctic spOrtsmen will be there.

Ken Landis And Johnston
 Expected To Get Together
Resolutions Of Endorsement of Commissioner
 To Be Presented At Meeting Tuesday

as president of the American league were discounted in baseball circles to- night.
 The assertion was made in some quar- ters that Commissioner Landies in his handling of baseball affairs, had not taken President Johnson and Heydler into his confidence as much as certain club owners had wished. These club owners hape to convice Commissioner Landis he should consult with other members of the advisory council before deciding important issues, particularly those affecting the major leagues.
 Landis To Speak
 The resolutions adopted at the meet ing at New York upholding Landis' ad- ministration and giving him a vote of confidence will be presented at tomor- rows session. Whatever action the com- missioner will take on these resolutions is known only to himself but the re- marks he is expected to make to the six. teen club owners probably will be worth hearing, his admirers say.
 Whenver major league club owners gather, trade talk prevails, but so far the only deal on the fire is the one involving Urban Shocker, veteran St. Louis spitball pitcher, whose services are sought by the Yankees. The White Sox are understood to be bidding for Shocker. A deal involving him may be conSummated tomorrow.

SOPHS WIN AT
 WOODLAWN HI
Second Year Men Beat Juniors For Class
 Title, 19-6

After the two class teams of the Woodlawn high school tied z and { last Wednesday, they met yesterday to play off the tie, which resulted Ill overwhelming victory of 19 to 6 for the Sophmores, thus declaring them class champions for the year of 1924.
 The game was one of these interesting games of ''you push me and l push you." The Juniors outweighed the Soph- mores about 15 or 20 pounds to the man and yet they were unable to do any thing with them at all.
 If was not the lack of coaching that the game for the Juniors, for Ed Nun naIly and Chandler both gave their team all they had learned during the season, 1t will just have to be handed to the Sophs on their fighting spirit and thelr team work. They were coached by Bull James and Chapple.
 During the first part of the game tbe Sophmores exhibited fighting spirit that swept the Juniors off thelr feet. and it was far into the game before they showed signs of recovery. In the first quarter the Sophs put the ball over and again in the third and fourth QudTLCTS tHc oOpAo oSoASoIt HAS DA ing carried by Jones, Harrison, and Peace. Only one extra point was made.
 In the opening of the half streak of luck helped the Juniors along and Darrough completed a pass over the goal for their only counter. Then the score was 6 and 12, but the S0phs took offense at this play and soon came back for their final counter. Just before the whistle blew to announce the end of the combat, the Sophs had worked the ball up to the 1-yard line, but the whistle saved the elders from further disgrace.
 The starting line ups for the two teams were as follows:
 Sophmores Left End, Hightower; Left Tackle, Rawls; Left Guard, Ran som; Center, Shelton; Right Guard, McCombs; right Tackle, Hawkins; Right End, Alridge; Quarter, Peace; Halves. Thompson Jones (captain) Full, Harrison.
 Juniors Left End, Turnispeed; Left Tackle, Murray Left Guard, Thead; Center, Nunnelley; Right Guard, Fitz- patrick (captain) Right Tackle, Step hens; Right End, Marton; Quarter, Janell: Halves, Morris and Farkus; Full. MontZman.

Wisconsin Leads
 Fussers' Brigade,
 Says Mems Dean

M ADISON, Wis, Dec. 16.-The VI University of Wisconsin has at
 least one conference title-it is flying the big ten chan ionship flag of fussers, according to Scott H. Goodnight, dean of men at the uni versity, who spoke yesterday to mem- bers of the sophomore council.
 The dean condemned the expediture by Wisconsin s.4Ients of $100,000 year for dancing. He exhorted the students to make a determined ef fort to see that Wisconsin's reputa- tion as a 'fussers' paradise" is eradicated.
 "A tradition is being established outside of Wisconsin among alumni and other institutions o' the big ten that we are bunch of cake-eaters," said Dean Goodnight.
 There are eighty fraternities and societies on the campus that put on a dance or party on an average of once month. There are ten fraterni- ties that have an average of two dances month and one that has an average of three. The average cost is never lower than $100 a party"

|NURMI MAY NOT
 BE AT HIS BEST
Many Track Critics Be- lieve Boards Will Hin
 der Him

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Many smart followers of track athletics believe that Paavo Nurmi, the Finn star of the Olympic games and the greatest runner in the world, will be defeated when he tries to run on the boards here next month.
 Nurmi's frank admission that he does not like the indoor game and the exper- fence that other foreign runners have had in getting acclimated and becoming familiar with the shorter straightaways and sharper turns, has led to the belief.
 It will be recalled that Guillemont, the great French runner, of several years back, defeated Nurmi in one of the long distance events at the Olympic games in Antwerp and that he made diserable showing on the board tracks here when he was in his prime.
 "Shin Splints'
 Guillemont, however, trained himself here and he hurt his foot on the track at Columbia university. It was reported that Nurmi is suffering from "shin splints," peculiar pain in the shins that many runners get from running on the hard surface of board track. It is serious complaint for an athlete who has never competed on the board, but Americans who run indoors and out doors usually get over it in few days.
 Hugo Quist, coach of the Finnish American Athletic club, who is train- ing Nurmi. said he had suffered a little when he first started running on the boards but that he was entirely re- covered.
 Ritola Best Opponent
 In the field that will oppose him in his first appearance in Madison Square Garden, Willie Ritola, his fellow countryman, is the only one who has a ghost of a show to beat him and his chance is only a ghost. Joie Ray, the American star, hasn't chance.
 Ritola and Ray nave had a lot of experience at indoor running but that handicap should not be enough to cause Nurmi to lose his race.
 Much depends, of course, on the dis tance that Nurmi chooses for the race. It is obvious in his training that he is now trying to find the distance at which he is best. He still carries his watch and times himself in the annoying manner that upset the morale of all his opponents in Paris.
