Marks Fall

"All marks for total snow fall in
the month of March have been
eclipsed as we'll as all marks for an
individual storm in March," Cox
said. He also said more snow had
fallen during March than for the
rest of the 1885 winter combined.
Train schedules and wire COM
munications were completely dis
rupted in some of the storm centers.
Trains at many points were bound
fast in huge snow drifts and
passengers were marooned without
food.
The snow fall was so heavy that
even in downtown Chicago and the
business sections of other cities the
streets were rendered almost i'm
passable for traffic.
Recent precipitation has rot

Struggle for Control of 1928
OIympics Seen in Present
Controversy.
BY Henry L. Farrell
Unttod press stoft Correspondent

LNtLC1 ITGSS SUN U ISopNcUNtN
NEW YORK, April Initial
movements in a battle that is to be
staged for the control of the 1928
American olympic team are seen In
the controversy between athletic
leaders of the Western Conference
and national officials of the A. A. U.
The controversy, which may be-
come a big issue, started when a
number of Western Conference of
fcials appealed to the A. A. L., to
rule college athletes out of A. A. u,
competition until they had finished
their academic courses.
Murray Hubert, president Of the
A. A. u, tossed a few personalities
in a letter turning down the appeal
and the fight was on.
Ever since the United States be-
came a competitor in the Olympic
games the American teams have
been actually, if not always officially
in charge of the A. A.. U.
College Athletes
In the older days the teams con-
sisted almost exclusively of club
athletse without college utilization,
but in Antwerp and in Paris the
college athletes were overwhelming
ly in the majority.
Some college authorities, particu-
larly from the middlewest believe
college officials should be in charge
Of future teams and they carried a
bitter fight in 1920 and 1924 for their
point.
The A. A. Y. and the intercollegi-
ate association, the governing body
Of the East, have worked in har-
mony when a controversy arose and
when the National Collegiate Asso-
citation was organized in opposition,
it was followed by the organization
of the National Amateur Athletic
Federation, which went to the mat
on several occasions with them.
West VS.. East
Strained relations between the two
collegiate associations resulted when
the prominent eastern colleges re-
fused to enter teams in the first col
legiate meet in Chicago. Western
teams declared they had done much
to contribute to the success of the
eastern body and that they had
reasons to expect r~eciprocation.
Most Of the eastern coaches, par
ticularly from Harvard T support
ing the A. A. u, and all of the west
ern coaches are not in sympathy
with their leaders
In some quarters here the issue is
looked upon as being trivial and sim
ilar to the resin ball controversy in
baseball. The opinion is expressed
by soma officials that it is only an
excuse to open up broader fields for
future action.

shape for the days drill, which
usually begins at L o'clock.
During practice, Pierce dons the
big glove and warns up the pitchers
for batting drill. He watches the
bats, keeps his eyes on balls that roll
down the hill to the rear and left of
the playing field. He is the first aid
man when a player is injured. He's
the guardian of the club playing

He organizes bunting games,

they take their turn on the mound.
