Pro Football Is After
 Entente With Colleges

Columbus, O.. March (P>-Pro- fessional football is seeking an en- Itente with intercollegiate athletics. This, according 10 Joe r. Carr president of the National Profess Esonal Football league, is behind the resolution of the league barring the playing of any college athlete in professional football until his class lin college has been graduated.
 While we were glad 10 have "Red' Grange with us, yet we would have preferred to have had him finish his college course and then come to our league" President Carr said. Il believe his drawing power would have been just as great next season as this. There always is plenty of time for q college foot tball star to enter the pro ranks after he has finished his college course"
 President Carr said a committee from his league would meet with representatives of the Intercollegiate Athletic Union to work out rules for further protection against col lege athletes entering pro football.

Chicago, March 6 (P-The stove league club at the Chicago White Sox baseball park hears many rem iniscenccs, but seldom one in which the umpire gets the best of the situ- ation.
 Joe Cantillon, Sox scout, former part owner of the Minneapolis and Little Rock clubs, was umpiring in the sos in the National league and made the most of chance to pull joke on Dick CoSey, speedy out fielder of the Boston Braves.
 The Chicago Cubs and Boston were playing here, with Outfieldcr Mill 1,anee the innocent assistant of Cantillon. There was but one um- pire in those days.
 Cooley slammed fly ball toward g the fence behind Lange, and as he rounded first, saw that Lange was still running back after it, apparent lv without d chance of reaching il. Cooley flew around second, while Cantillon trotted down toward third base from behind the catcher. AS Cooley passed shortstop, Lange speared the ball with one hand, Cantillon saw his opportunity.
 "Touch third" Cantllon yelled 10 Cooley, who gave that bag an extra hard kick and tore for home plate, certain of a home run.

JOIE RAY HAS HAD
 BRILLIANT CAREER
Amateur Record of Famous
 Runner Really Remarkable

New York, March The passing Of Joic Ray from the ranks Of anna teur track and field sports removes ono of the most colorful as well as one Of the most brilliant figures this branch Of sports has had in the last dccadc,
 From 1915, when the barrel. l.ches- cd, sturdy-limbed Chicagoan won his first national mile running cham pionship, until he was eclipscd by the sensational risc Of Paavo Nurmi to new distance running heights in 1895, Ray was pretty much the king of tho roost at his specially.
 For len years little Joie, charac- toriStically hombast!c yet unusually popular with the fans, was the best Of Uncle Sam's milers. He won the national title eight times in the period from 1915 10 1928 on out door tracks, and invariably killed off all opposition at indoor running. Ray acknowledged few indoor rivals un- | til Nurmi turned loose his pheno- menal speed.
 IL was q tribute to Rays remark Ioblc athletic ability that after years of keen competition he rose to greater heights 10 take the measure of Nurmi. Joie was defeated time after time by the Phantom Finn. The American was outclassed but he nevertheless stuck 10 his guns and wound up his campaign by equallinG Nurm's mile record of 4:l2. This was the fastest mile Joie ever turned in and it was the disappointment of his career that 1t came on the night of Nurmis famous 'veal pie" col lapse in Madison Square Garden. The Finn's downfall came in a previous race with Willie Ritola and he was not able 10 face the starting gun in the later event for which Ray was primed.
 Prior 10 Paavo's advent, Joie claimed possession Of ten indoor marks, ranging from 1000 yards to 5000 meters. The Finn eradicated all but one of these. The net result today is that Ray sticks 10 the rec ords as co-holder in just two in- stances. Ono of these is the mile mark he shares with Nurmi, and the other tho 1000 record of ? minutes. IS 2-5 seconds which he shares with the former "Ilying Parson." Hal Cutbill.
 Finland, it seems, insisted upon supplying q Nemesis for Ray at the high points of his career. It was in tqoS, when the "kankakce Flier' was nt the height of one Of his greatest indoor campaigns that Will lie Ritola. an Amcricanized Finn, turned up 10 make things interest ling for Joio. Ray beat Ritola in three out of five hotly contested races, but there was little 10 choose between the two. Ray showed to ad- vantage up 10 two miles and Ritola evidenced superiority over longer routes.
 That season. however, saw Ray compile a notable all-round record. He won nine out of twelve races in the east in a six weeks period and set six worlds records in doing SO. besides forcing Ritola to hang up now marks on each of the two oc- casions the Finn triumphod.
 All told, Ray carried off thirteen national A. A. L. championships in the period from 1915 to 1923. Be- sides eight victories in the mile out doors. he won the five-mile run in
 1916. the half-milc title In 1919 and thrice, in 1916. 1923 and 1924, cap tured the indoor two-milc champion lsI1ip,
