THRILLS AHEAD
IN INDOOR
TRACK

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-P) Will
lacking any such spectacular personal,
ity as Paavo Nurmi gave to indoor
footraciag year ago, the season now
gathering Roadway on the boards
promises to witness not only unusual
ly keen competition but another re.
vival Of international rivalry.
Distance racing, with Nurmi, his
countrymaI, Willie Ritola, and Joie
Ray as prominent figures, held the
spotlight last season and will not be
devoid of interest again, but the main
sensations Of 1926 are expected to be
supplied in sprinting and middle dis
ta1ee running.
There will be touch of interna-
tional color in both cases. for Hubert
Houben Of Germany is here to seek
sprint honors against Loren Murchi-
son. Frank Hussey and DeHart Hub
bard. among others. while Charley
Hoff of Norway is training for tests
with American middle distance men
as well as for competition in his
other speciality, pole vaulting.
Houben and Hoff, it developed to-
day. both have had training difficu,-
ties but they expect to be ready for
their debuts in the Knights of Co
lumbus meet at Boston January 30.
A slight touch of tolsilitis has both
cred Houben the last few days. Hoff,
training ut Dartmouth College, has
found the absence of Il board track a
handicap to his workouts.
Hoff will step into q hot-bed of
metropolitan rivalry when he essays
middle distance competition. This
spirit was heightened the other night
when Alan Helffrich of the New York
4. c. was disqualified for cutting
corners; after finishing first in the
half mile feature of the Fordham
"Pinkey" Sober, City College track
captain, who was on Helffrich's heels
at the finish and leading such re-
doubtable veterans as George Marsters
and Johnny Holden. ex-Georgetow l
runners. The same quartet may have
it out again next Saturday in the
Brooklyn College games.
International features will have
their fullest play in the Millrosc A. 4.
carnival at Madison Square Garden
February 4. Hoff is entered in three
events and Houben in sprint series
against Hussey. Murcbison and Hub
bard. In addition. Adrian Paulen,
Hollands star quarter miller, and
George Goodwin. English walker. are
slated to make their first appearances.
Relay racing promises to provide
additional thrills, Georgetown, whose
two-mile team smashed both indoor
and outdoor records last year. is
grooming a one-mile quartet for fresh
honors. With Jimmy Burgess an
Vernon Arscber as its stars. the
Georgetown team probably will make
its first record breaking attempt in
the Crescent A. G. games February
II. when Syracuse, Yale, Princeton
and Harvard also have been invite1
to compete.

either Richards reported negotiations

James A. Farley. chairman of the
commission, made it clear, however,
that he considered Richard fully SUD

The fact that Richard is understood
to contemplate matching Dempsey AMI

arena. Boyle's Thirty Acres, instead
of in New York state, does not alter
the situation, in Farley's view, so long
as the promoter is in business here.
The commission announced that it
had received a telegram from Billy

that his conference with Richard Oh
