Bates Track Mentor
Has Promising
Discus ThrOWer

Lewiston, Apr. 16.-Along with
the work of polishing seven f1iers
for the Penn relays and wedding
out the best in half a hundred
track candidates Coach jenkins the
Bates track mentor working away
attempting to bolster up the weak
field event department. His scout
ing tactics Tuesday brought forth
several finds in the weight events
but so far few men of ability have
been found to take their places in
jumps.
In the track events Coach Jen-
kins has several vets to count on.
Archibald is showing better than
ever and will be counted on to win
the quarter mile events this spring.
Ralph Corey and Sanella are avail
able for the half mile event al
though at the present time Sanella
is laid up with an inf1amed knee.
There are three promising candi-
dates in the mile event, Sherman
Holt. a veteran and two freshmen,
Nelson and Brown. Holt is run
ming better than ever and is ex-
pected to fill Sargents shoes this
Spl ihS. Sdptdl hCNTlUleN, SldIe ana
New England two mile champion, is
said to be in the best of form and
Is counted upon to lead his event
in all the spring meets. Dorr, the
cross country captain, and Wills, a
freshman. who has been showing all
kinds of form this year, are expected
to score for Bates.
Tuesdays practice brought to
light several promising candidates
among weight men. Olin Tracey. a
freshman from Harmony. Me-. toss

Il pointed out that jackson of Maine
Won the intercollegiate event to
I, Orono last year with a toss of Ill

cey is not new in this event, having
established quite a record at Har-
! mony High school and Hartland
Academy. Tracey is also to be
counted upon In the shot put event.
In 1921 he broke the Bates Inter
scholastic record with the S-pound
! shot. Williamson. a Sophomore. is
also counted upon in the discus. hav
ing to his credit a practice toss of

Guy Rowe. Peterson, Pcables. Doc
Leighton and Ledger are five prom

though they need a powerful lot of
seasoning before they will be ready
to take points. Ledger looks to be
about the best of the crowd, hav-

The only real veteran in the pole

CONY JUNIORS
WIN INTER-CLASS
BASEBALL SERIES

Sc The Cony High juniors, playing a
fine game of ball, and deserving
win, won the inter class ball series
in the finals from the seniors at Cap
ital Park Wednesday, 1876. The SEN
iors, although they had lot of men
to touch bases, by the poor and in
consistent hitting of the players
failed to bring the runners in. Aubin
started the ball a going for the SEN
iors. pitching the first innings with
Poor finishing. Gregoire pitched
three innings for the juniors and
Webb finished.
The pitching of Webb was the fea-
ture of the game. He delivered the
fooling the seniors time and time
again at bat. capt. Hayden, the only
veteran from last years team. sent
out two solid smashes. Bobby Goode
of the junior team. the midget player
OF the class, who is cat for the squad.
made two Journeys to second sack,
cracking out two two baggers. Gre
soire also got a three bagger and
Webb q two bagger.
With the series finished, Coach
Thompson has a much better idea of
his material this season than before.
So far. his pitching problem seems
to be the greatest. Several have tried
out for the position and just who will
be chosen to cover the mound for the
Red and White is yet a mystery. The
infield and outfeld problem is not
so difficult. The series served to
give Coach a line on the best men for
these positions.
Suits will be issued today to about
20 of the players and the men will
ease up a bit today from the stren-
uous work of the past week. The
cold. chilly wind that has greeted
the players at the Park has left the
squad with a few sore muscles and
days lay off will serve to freshen
up the men a bit. A lot of hard work
is in order for the Alumni game Mon
Gay and all are looking forward when
they can get out onto the Williams
field. The high wind of the past
week has done a lot to dry the mud
up and the players will be out on the
field as soon as it is enough.

American Olympic
Committee Faces Big
Task to Get Funds

New York, April 16.-America's rep
resentation in the 1924 Olympic games
consists of 422 athletes in 20 different
branches of competition, the greatest
aggregation of talent ever assembled
by this country for a program of inter-
national sports events.
These figures, which reveal an under
taking of even greater proportions than
originally was anticipated, We're made
public today by the American Olympic
committee to emphasize the necessity
of immediate response to its appeal
for fund Of s35e,O00 TO properly
} equip, transport and care for the men
and women who will make up the va
rious squads.
Generally it was expected the team
would consist of about $50 athletes
and estimated financial requirements
were based on this number. With the
increases now planned, however. i'll sec
eral units, and the addition OF others.
the entire venture may require we'll
over 100000. officials believe.
The crisis in financial affairs Of the
Olympic committee has disclosed that
within the next few weeks approx
mately $225. 900 must be raised to reach
the ori iginal goal set.
Five units of the American Olympic
team already have embarked including
those in the four branches of winter
sports competition held in January,
and the rugby football squad. This
group comprised 81 athletes. Approx
mately 500 athletes will go on the
America, including 11S track and field
athletes. 40 men and 10 women swim
mers. IS boxers, IL gymnasts, 19 men
and five women fencers. II oarsmen, IL
tennis players. five modern pentathlon
opponents, seven cyclists and is wrest-
lers.
The next unit slated TO leave is the
soccer team. composed of 10 men. The
marksmen will include nine trapshoot
ers. IL rifemen and 10 revolver cx-
perts. A squad of IS is entered for
the equestrian events.

Football May Suffer
OF Over Legislation

New York, April 16 "a. P)-Fear
that football may suffer from an ov-
erdose of legislation il rule-makers
continue to amend the playing code
every year. has been expressed by
men close to the coaching situation in
the country. Several drastic meas
ures enacted for 1924 by the National
intercollegiate Rules Committee will
have a material effect on the game, it
is thought, unless coaches comply
with the spirit as we'll as the letter
of the law.
The complete abolition of the kick
ing tee is expected to revolutionize
the game to such an extent that Goa
ches will lay more stress on the
running and passing game, and con-
fino the kicking art to the necessary
punt and the occasional drop kick.
The legislation against passive in
reference" on the screen pass has
been cleared somewhat. but it is
still hazy. and violations will have to
he decidedly open before any official
will call them, observers believe.
"The solons in charge of the rules
have apparently had the spectators
in mind more than the participants
in endeavoring to diversity the
game" said one prominent authority.
Coaches who have spent years in
developing kicking oftense, find
their years of labor discarded by the
abolition CT the artificial kicking
tee, and must now either develop
these hooters into drop kickers or
drop their kicking offense and re-
camp their attack
The shifting of position for the
try for point after touchdown from
the five to the three yard line may
reyolutionize this play, especially
so with kicking tees tabooed. Un-
less more passes or runs are made
from this play, 1t is considered like
ly that the 1925 rules will contain a
provision whereby a run or a pass
from this play will net the attack
ing team two points and kick ont
point.
