WAN EXEND|NE
To RETURN

. SEATTLE, Dec. 15.-Washington
State College football players. stu
dents and alumni are urging Coach
A. A. Exendine to Withdraw his
resignation and continue his coach
ing duties at Pullman. The coach
has declined to listen to the burst
of enthusiasm that came after the
Cougars defeated the University Of
Southern California IN the big up
set game of the Pacific coast grid
season. -
Although w. s. c. has not given
up hope of retaining Exendines they
are putting out feelers for William
II. Lone Star" Dietz. Dietz for
three years, starting in 1915, put
the Cougars on the football map.
Then came the war and w. S. G..
lost the, Indian mentor. For the
last two years DietZ has been coach
ing at Wyoming and has given that
school its greatest elevenS.
Dietz in his first year at W. S. G.
brought championship to Pullman
and topped the seasons playing by
defeating. Brown at Pasadena, ii
to o. In. 1916 he lost two games,
but the following year the Cougars
again sat on the grid throne. Only
once since then, 1919, with many
Dietz drilled men, has w. s. C. had
an eleven that ranked high in the
conference No wonder they want
Dietz.
It was Dietz that first introduced
the direct pass from center to backs
in the Northwest. To him also
goes the credit of showing North
west fans that guards could run
interference. Now practically every
coach uses this style of attack with
Howard A. Jones having it almost
down, to perfection due to the speed
of Brice Taylor, former Seattle
high school star, and other fast
guards.
1t was DietZ, who. on box
formation with an unbalanced lire
had his-backs fake an end run,
then reverse and with the whole
line for interference gallon for
touchdowns. Never since in this
section has a coach used as many
men in interference as Dietz. 1t
was that play, more than any
other, that brought 1915 honors to
W. s. C.

GIRLS TAKE Up
SPORT PLAN
BY JACK MARTIN.

The spirit Of the National Amateur
Athletic Federation has invaded the
Capital. and unless many logical
reasohings are unsound, the N. A.
A. r. and that for; which 1T stands,
will within q year or two be the
foundation and support of all
athletic activity for women in the
District Of Columbia.
s The first attempt of Washington
women to form an organization Of
Washington feminine enthusiasts
OF physical activity, which. will later
become q branch OF the N. Al. "A. f.,
took place last night at the Friends
School gym. All told, there were
about sixty-five girls and women
there who hold the most influential
places in the local realm of physical
training. coaching, refereeing and
instructing.
Some came to help, others came
to be convinced, a few came to see
the experiment fail, but most came
in an effort to put their weight In
favor OF an organization whose
ideas and ideals they feel will inn
prove the local girls playing condi-
tons.
Those who came to help carried
out their purpose; those who came
with open minds tossed away many
of their old ideas regarding the
parent organization before the end
of the evening, for they found that
the purpose of the N. A. A. +. is
not to instruct in crocheting, fancy
work, or the manly art of applied
tiddley winks; no one saw the ex.
pertinent fail, nor viii they, for
the simple reason that the purpose
of an organization which has been
adopted by the best institutions OF
forty eight States cannot be belittled
by any show Of intolerance or lack
of foresight on the part of the
girls OF the District; also, we all
heard with our own ears that the
n. A. A. +. does not wish to eliIni-
nate competition, but wishes only
to give every girl a chance to be
healthy and enjoy recreation.
Grace Keefe has done nobly in
her effort to establish a branch of
this national organization in the
Capital, and it is very doubtful
whether her capability and interest
could be matched here in the city.
Formerly of columbia, Miss Keefe
knows physical education, knows
girls, knows the conditions all over
the country, and best Of all, under
stands the relations of the three.
Washington is fortunate in having
Grace Keefe.
The first meeting Of this petition
ing organization will be held on
Tuesday evening, January 26,. at
& o'clock, probably at the Marjorie
Webster School The place will be
definitely announced later.

International News Service sports Edites
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.Accord-
ing to those who hover in the
great mans wake, George n.
Ruth, the well-known baseball
player, is on another of his
periodical seances Of self-denial
down at the old homestead in
Sudbury, Mass. Our Mr.. Ruth
apparently selects every second
year to starve himself into SUBJ
mission and at present the great
famine is on, or so they say.
He made his lone appearance on
Broadway, since the conclusion OF
the baseball season, at the Army
and Navy game and it was noted
with great glee that he was down
to his last 230 pounds, which, IL
true, is not so bad at that. He
probably outranked this figure by
twenty pounds at.a corresponding
period last year.
They say Ruth really ii sincere
this time in his course OF Spartan
austerfty. Never before, it is said,
T.
so steadfast. Never before has the
business been 80 necessary. one
more season like the last and the
$52, OOO-a-year man wouldn,t be able
to sell himself to the Yankees for
thirty cents on the dollar.
Perhaps the young man has
come to q tardy realization Of The
situation. Perhaps il Is Just u
matter OF environment. Seem
tngly, he can embrace the .ClOis-
tered existence to better effect isa
the winter time when, perverSeIy
enough, 1t Is net so necessary for
him to be in good condition.
Associations and environment have
q lot TO do with what seems like
n useful career headed for q pre-
mature end.
Ruth was very near the end dur
ing the 1925 season. An extremely
sick man he was allowed to return
to the game too soon for the good
OF either himself or his club. He
was not in condition to play ball at
any time during the campaign and
there was but slight hope that he
would be.
Realizing the Ilnpelessness of his
task he made little effort to train
and, finally, was suspended by
Miller Higgins. This action had
something of the desired effect for
Ruth finished with "a bit of
flourish. Coming up from $50 to
.29O in hitting and getting a matter
of twenty-five home. runs.
This, however, was not the kind
of a record the Yankees were pay
ing him $50 200 a season to com
pile. Neither were they gratified
to note that Ruth,s legs seemed to
be falling him, a tell tale sign in a
ball players career.
He couldn't range the 0utfieId
with his old abandOn, his speed
ON the bases was gone. However,
the writer knows q lot of ball
players who, placed i'm Rutl1's pO-
sltiOn, wouldn't have been out
there at all.
Ruth will not come back may be a
bit hasty. IF he can work himself
back to something like normalcy.
There is no reason to assume that
his leg trouble will be either chronic
or permanent. The legs can be
built up by plenty Of walking. He
Is getting that now with two rounds
or golf daily and soon will go South
to continue the system.
:, The rest remains with Ruth and
his diet, if any. If he takes no
greater pains with his condition
than he did last year there will be
no hope for him. He must live the
simple life or take the consequences.

Tonight is the big night at the
Aloysius Club where the members
and their ladies will see an en-
tertainment featured by five ring
bouts. Tex Stovall, the Mohawk
Clubs Commanche Indian, once
IN the Marines, will start in the
final clash of eight rounds with
Nick Bass. Baltimoress hard-hit-
ting middleweight. This is a
last-minute switch from Joe Dow
ney, navy champion, to Bass.
Downey is suffering from such
a~heavy cold that the medical
officer of the u. S. S. Wyoming
refused him permission to keep
his date with Stovall until later.
A couple Of weeks ago Downey
was to. have faced Stovall at the
Aloysius Club. The Mohawk bat
tier strained a ligament in his leg
while training two days before the
bout and Nick Bass was substituted.
The sailor found the Baltimore boy
hard to take, though he did earn
the laurels largely because of great
err experience.
On being informed that Downey
would be Unavailable for tonightis
affair, frankie Mann, who handles
all the Arrangements, immediately
called upon Bass.
1t is expected that DOwney,
who made a hit with the club
members In his recent appear

In some ways the club members
may prefer tonight's card to a
Downey-StovalI contest Downey
is not as hard a hitter as StovalI,
but there is small choice between
him and the Baltimore lad. StoVaH
is a rushing, swinging hitter who

Stoval. expecting to face the navy

Bass will have the veteran Sammy
