TIGER BASKET TEAM
FAVORITE IN LEAGUE

NEW YORK. January 26.-Bob
Hynson Of Princeton and Jimmy Car
mack of Pennsylvania are tied for
individual scoring honors'in the In
tercollegiate Basket Ball League,
each having Tailed five field goals
and nine goals on free throws. In
asmuch as Hynson has engaged IN
only three games, while Pennsylvania
has competed against four league
rivals, the Tiger star really is setting
the pace.
Joe Baldwin of Columbia who had
been the leader for two weeks, IS
third with Is counters.
Arthur Loeb OF Princeton, runner
up for individual scoring honors for
two years. enjoyed a Roman holiday
at Cornelrs expense Saturday, scor-
ing five field goals. This is the high
mark this season.
Princeton's convincing victory over
Cornell at Ithaca indicates that the
Tigers may still be regarded as the
favorites for the championship.
Dartmouth is likely to give the

its league games at home. and Prince

Tigers had scored more points and

FOOT BALL IS SEEN

CHICAGO, january 26.-Foot ball
Is destined to become the Americap
national sport, and in the future, II
stadfa are built to accommodate
them, crowds of 1880 or more may
be found watching the grid game
Maj. John l. Griffith, commissioner of
the Western Conference, believes.
His view of the sports future
comes from observation of the growth
in popularity of foot ball in the
past few years.
THE greatest single drawing at
traction in sports, amateur or pro-
fessional, had been a world cham
pionship prizefght with the heavy
weight title in view" Maj. Griffith said.
II suppose 10000 is the correct esti-
mate of the greatest crowd the boxers
have drawn.
'The Stanford California game on
the Pacific Coast this year outdrew
that by several thousand. And the
return of the American intercollegiate
foot ball code to Stanford and Cali
fornia has been comparatively re-
cent"
Interest in foot ball now extends
beyond the colleges, their students
and alumni, Maj. Griffith declared.
This has come with the development
of Individual stars or combinations
like RED Grange OF Illinois and
the -Four Hors emen" OF Notre Dame.
Base ball. he believes. is experience
ing slump in popularity in colleges
and has been abandoned by one COL
legiate conference, the Midwest.
In the new popularity of foot ball
and the intersectional interes st
aroused. Maj. Griffith sees a standard
ization of the game and the passing
OF the so-called eastern game" or
western game" At present, he be-
lieves the Midwest is producing the
best foot ball.

NAVY'S CREW COACH
LIKES LONG COURSE

ANNAPOLIS, Md, January go
Commenting on the change of the
distance of the Poughkeepsie regatta
from three to four miles, Richard j.
Glendon. Naval Academy rowing
coach, stated that, while he consid-
cred three miles long enough to af-
ford a real test, the added mile would
not impose N special strain on the
oarsmen. as they would regulate their
stroke for the distance.
He approved the change, however,
on the ground that the distance is
the same as that of the annual race
between Yale and Harvard, and might
have a tendency to induce those
crews to enter the event on the
Hudson, making 1T the unquestioned
test of supremacy in college rowing
for the year:
The Navy crew will engage only
In races of from one and five-six-
teenth miles (the Henley distance)
to two miles prior to the big race.
but Glendon thinks that there will
be no difficulty in fitting 1t for the
longer distance. In his opinion, a
good crew for a short distance will
be good one for longer with a
little special instruction and training.

ON FOUL-LINE SHOTS

Rough -and-ready court tactics as
employed in the Midwest proved of
little value to the Fort Wayne

with the local Palace Laundry team
in the Arcade last night, the home
team getting the long end of a 2s-to-

the 104th Medical Regiment, Balti-

The result of the battle was in
doubt until the very end, the score
at the half standing II to 10 IN Pal
aces favor and the visitors getting a
5-point lead later on.
Numerous fouls resulted from the
westerners' style OF play and the
locals used their opportunities to
good advantage. In fact, the game
was won on free throws, as each
team sank 9 goals from scrimmage
The Laundrymen made good on 10

it appeared to catch on something

kept up it never would have gone in,
but suddenly there was a luIl. In that
