ARGUMENT FINISHED
West Point Authorities State That Last Word Has Been Said On Army Navy Game.

New York. Jan. 10 P,-West Point authorities feel that the last word has been said on the Army Navy controversy over football eligi- bility rules and that the 1928 game IS "off," definitely and finally.
 Major Philip B. Fleming, grad uate manager of athletics at West Point, in formal statement last night, said Army officials considered the issue had been closed when the superintendents Of the two acade- mics decided on January ' to cancel d four year contract and announced that no game would be played in 1928. Fleming "deplored' the pro- longcd newspaper discussion on the djspute.
 The Army statement was made in answer 10 one issued by the Naval Academy which said the Navy was holding open for q reasonable time" the date for the 1928 con- test in the hope that West Point would reconsider it's stand against the thrre-year eligibility regulation This rul" prohibits athletic compcH- ton i,y students with three or more years of varsity experience.

without cessation except for . day of rest on Sundays.
 In planning the school. Irwin worked out | system whereby . course of 12 lessons would serve to instruct the beginner in every de- partment of the game. There is the driving from the tee. the approach ing from tho fairway and the putt ting on tho green. all to be had with the paraphernalia installed in the "Y".
 For the veteran. there l. every convenience for keeping on his game. He can practice his strokes and correct tho faults he had devel- oped last year until perfection is at- tained. The school takes the place of Florida for those who cannot af- ford the trip south.
 From the numbers attending. there are sure to bs many attacks on last years scores during the com. ing summer. There lies the advan- tags of indoor practice and no one is too good to eliminate practice for five or six solid months and then improve the next year.
 There are . number of places still open on tho entry list of the school and all information pertaining to 1t can be secured from Mir. Irwin at tho Y. M. C. A.

WILL NOT ENTER
 OLYMPIC HOCKEY
Committees Action Declines to Approve College Team

New York. Jan. 19 R-The Unit ed States apparently will enter no team in the Olympic hockey com petition at St. Moritz, Switzerland. this year.
 This. most observers agreed. was the practical effect of the American Olympic committees action yester- day in declining to approve the se- lection of the Augsburg college team of Minneapolis to carry this coun- try's colors in the Olympics on the ground that 1t was not sufficiently representative.
 The Augsburg team, 1t was pointed out. was chosen only after William s. Haddock of Pittsburgh. chairman of the Olympic hockey committee. had met with numerous refusals from other aggregations to which in- vitat.ons to compete had been ex- tended.
 It was doubted that MT. Haddock could get together a representative team on such short notice. The United States squad. had one been selected that met with the Olympic committees approval. would have sailed January 25.
 There were indications, however, that both Mir. Haddock and the Augsburg team would make strenu- ous efforts to influence the commit tee to reconsider its action.
 At Pittsburgh. Mir. Haddock said he was convinced the Augsburg team could give 8 good account of itself and declared he would not accept the committees action without a contest.
 Augsburg athletic authorities at Minneapolis announced they would ask the Olympic committee for an opportunity to demonstrate their teams merits in actual competition. In the meantime. they said. they would continue their work in raising funds to defray half the teams ex- penses for the trip abroad.

RICHARD LEAVES
 ID MEET 1UNNEY
Promoter to Spend Four Weeks With Heavyweight Champion

New York. Jan. 1s R-Tex Rick ard was on his way south today to talk over Illogical opponent" with Gene Tunney.
 The promoter left New York last night for Miami. Fla, where he plans to spend four weeks with the heavyweight champion, part on the golf links and the rest in the ''con- ference room."
 On February l. Rickard will post $100.000 to bind an option on Tun- ney's service for 1928 and around the same date he thinks he will have decided who. among the present crop of contenders. will get the next op- portuntty at the crown on the big marines head.
 In anything but an expansive mood. Rickard caught his train last night immediately after a long and fruitless conference with the man. aeers of Jack Delaney and Tom Heeney whom he hoped to match in la IS round elimination" bout at Madison Square. Garden March l. Delaney was willing but Charley Harvey. manager of the New Zea- lander. admitted he wasn't so keen about 1t and accompanied this ex- pression of opinion with a demand for S2 1-2 per cent of the gate. That broke up the conference.
 Efforts now are to be made to match Jack Sharkey. Boston's sailor man." who lost some prestige in his draw battle with Heeney last week. against Johnny Risko. of Cleveland The latter makes a specially of talk ing the logic out of logical" con- tenders. This match, if it goes through. will be 15 round affair at the Garden March 12.
 Pauline Uzcudun. Rtckard dis closed, no longer is being considered in the plans for developing an out standing challenger for the heavy- weight title. The Spaniard, incident ally, leaves soon for Mexico City where he fights Quintin Romero. the Chilean. January 29. Next month Pauline meets George Godfrey, giant negro. in a bout at Los Angeles.
 Although he spent most of the day with the heavyweights. Rickard found time to close a match between Sid Ferris of New York and Jimmy McLarnin of Los Angeles. They will battle at the Garden February 24. The winner probably will get a championship bout with Sammy Mandell.

SCHOOL TEAMS TO CLASH
 FIRST TIME THIS SEASON
Hartford and New Britain Quintets Scheduled to Meet in Hartford Tomorrow & Gold Quintet Seeks Revenge on Capital City for Football Defeat Hardware City Five the Favorite if Regulars Play Players All in Good Condition for Fray.

A quintet of basketball warriors from the New Britain High school aroused to a fighting spirit because of the bitter setback which the football team suffered last fall when Hartford Public High school whip ped 1t into submission, will go to Hartford tomorrow afternoon and engage the same victorious school in the first of a series of home and home basketball games. The con- test will start at 5 o'clock.
 In the preliminary game the Jun- for Reserve five will attempt to con- tinue the pace set by it's predecessors over a period of the past four years to score its 25th straight victory. Its opponents will be Hartford High School Seconds.
 Hartford High is not having a good season this year. Among the teams that have taken a fall out of the proud Blue and White team were St. Thomas Seminary and New Haven Hillhouse High school. New Britain's record has not been i'm pressive although it has only played two games. It won the first from St. Thomas seminary and lost the second to Collegiate Preparatory school in New Haven last week.
 The Capital City team will have three players who were regulars on the team last year, Captain Cabitor, Giraitis. and Malinowski. The only member of the New Britain team who can actually be called regular Of last year is Eddie Sowka who was a member of the original team that was rent asunder when headmasters' rules were violated.
 It would be hard to name the starting lineup for New Britain since much will depend on whether or not the first five men will be eligible in studies. The lineup that Coach George NJ, Cassidy is i"uring upon will consist of Fred unders. cen ter: Henry Kraszewski and Alex Za- leski, forwards. and Eddie Sowka and Louis Landino. guards.
 kraszewski is a new man, but the rest of the lineup with the eNcep- ton of Sowka were regulars onlt when the ineligible members of the team could not play.
 Coach Cassidy may start the Phantoms, an amateur team in this city, as his junior reserves this year He has other material which might be started including Fred Zehrer who explained the reserves during his first and second years at school, Arnold Reckert who played part of last season with the team, Alden Hewett, John Erickson and Eddie Ginsberg.

M|LBURN RETlRES
 AS POLO PLAYER
Famous Star to Withdraw From
 International Competition

New York, Jan. 19 R}-DevereuX Milburn, rated by many experts as the greatest polo player of all time, has decided to retire from interna- tional competition.
 A dominant figure on every Amer ican 'big four" since 1909, Milburn pointed out that he will be 49 years matches roll around and that's too old for international competition.
 It is not alone his age which caused Milburn to reach this deci- sion. He believes the time has come when the younger players should take over the responsibility and the business and the work of interna- lional polo"
 Pointing 10 Bobby Strawbridse and Winston Guest as examples, Mill burn said he felt these rising young stars should get ready to step into the veterans places.
 Coming from a family of polo players, Milburn learned the game at Buffalo, N, Y., at an early age. Sent to Oxford in 1899, he played with that university's team until 1904 when he returned to America to attend Harvard Law school. He transferred his polo activities to the Myopia club, near Boston, and was a member Of the team that won the senior championship in 904. Gradu- frSt I-r J ,t,1 i,ip, became a member of the Meadow brook club.
 His first baptism under interna- tional polo fire came two years later when he played with the first Amer ican team 10 win the international cup. Milburn was on the American teams that successfully defended the trophy in 1911 and 1913 as w il as on the 1914 squad which lost it to Great Britain. He was captain and back of the teams which re-cdptur- ed the cup in 1921 and repelled the British challenge last September
 Some observers expected Nl- burns refinement would be followed by similar decision by Malcolm Stcy- enson and J. Watson Webb, other members Of the Big Four This would leave Tommy Hitchcock as the sole remaining member Of the international team. The task then would be 10 develop new comhiua- ton around Hitchcock who now rates as one Of the country's finest stars.

REFERENDUM X HOAX
University of Iowa Alumni Disciaim Responsibility For Action On Football Coach.

Iowa City. Ia.. Jan. 1S ~-State alumni of the University of Iowa to- day disavowed responsibility for the student referendum on the question of retaining Burt Ingwersen as head football coach. The referendum held yesterday. was described by Martin Smith. vice-president Of the State Alumni association as a hoax, perpetrated by students.
 The referendum ballots were thrown out last night by the stu dent council following the disap- pearance of one ballot box and the reported "stuffing" of others. None of the ballots was counted.
 There has been constant criticism of Coach Ingwersen in recent months due to the poor showing of Iowa football teams. It recently was announced that Ingwersen had been retained as head coach for an other season.

BLACK GOLD DIES
 AT END OF RACE
Finih6 Game Attempt of An othtr Champion to Cone Back

Tulsa, Okla. Jan. 1s e - The death at New Orleans of Black Gold, sensation of race tracks in 1s2l when he won tho Kentucky Derby and three other major turf events. has ended the game attempt of an- other champion to stage . come- back after retirement to . life of ieass.
 Reports of the ebony thorough bred's efforts to finish the race at New Orleans after breaking . leg in . fall in front of the judges stand. recalled the characteristics shown in his training here. His effort to re- peat the victories of his youth was in Inc with the ambitious program out lined for him by Al Hoots, veteran Oklahoma turfman. who died before the colt was born.
 Foaled in the Bradley stud in Kentucky. Black Gold inherited the speed of his mother and used along with the stout heart and staying qualities of his father. Black Toney. It awas the hope of MT. Hoots that the colt would uphold the honors won by his mother before she was ruled oH the turf.
 After the death of her husband. Mrs. Hoots trained Black Gold. In 1923 the colt proved his mettle in events for two year olds. The next year he climaxed . successful season by winning the Kentucky Derby.
 Black Gold then was placed in the stud by his Indian tyainer. Handley Webb. There he remained until Mo- vember last. when Mrs. Hoots con- sented to allow him to try for . comeback. He was entered in four events. The fatal race yesterday was planned at the last of the condition ing series.

'QUINTETS READY
 FOR HARD BATTLE
Meiden Endo6 md NeV Britain
 to Clash Here Saturday

Both the Meriden Endees and the New Britain basketball team are ready for a gruelling struggle at the Stanley Arena in this city Saturday night when they meet in the frs, game of the second round of the Connecticut State Basketball League, Meriden in the fiast half. pinned two defeats on New Britain and contin- ued . brace of wins over the local quintet last year.
 New Britain, coming out of . slump with . dash last Saturday night. is looked upon as the better team but | game with Meriden al- ways means . battle. The Endees are fortified with . large squad of players giving tho team plenty of reserve material. Last Saturday night was the first time that the lo- cal squad has numbered more than eight men and the showing of the reserve was one of the surprises of the night.
 Jerry Conway. star center of the Endees, may or may not pc with Meriden Saturday night. The Hol- yoke ace has been signed with the Syracuse Professionals and he played his first game with that team last Tuesday night. However. no an- nouncement has been made from Meriden whether he will be with the invaders in the game here. His presence in the lineup will make all the difference Tn the world for A-er- iden while his absence will take away the strongest cog in the Silver City machine.
 Cook and Carroll will probably oc- cupy the forward positions with Lingner and Stavintsky in the back court. If Conway is absent. stavin- itsky, former Plainfield center. will play the pivotal position for Meri- den.
 New Britain will start its best team in the game with Sloman and Rubenstein at forwards. Zakzewski at center and either sheehan and Leary or sturm and Leary in the back court.
 Landers and P. & F. Corbin girls will play in the preliminary game. This game will start at o'clock with the main contest getting under way at g o'clock.

Last Nigbt's Result Waterbury 1, Hartford 5.

Waterbury 4, Hartford 5.
 Hockey league will be settled to- night when the New Britain and Meriden teams, deadlocked for the leading position with six games won and four lost. clash at the Stanley Arena on Church street in a league contest. Meriden's drive towards the top of the list has been sensational. hands of Wallingford last week. New Britain's start of the second half. on the other hapd, was aus picious, but the team has been floundering of late and has suffered two straight defeats.
 Meriden is the favorite in tonight's game with all fans except those in New Britain. The combination of Kid" Williams and Steve Pierce on the rush line is such an excellent scoring and floor-working machine, that the Silver City Maroons are ciassed as nearly unbeatable.
 New Britain has the stuff to win from any team in the league but the quintet has been slightly off form. A return to the aggressiveness' that marked the spirited run of victories for New Britain in the beginning of the second round, would send Meri- den back home defeated but a con- tinuaton of the lifeless play of the last few games, will mean loss for the home club.
 Meriden will most probably use Williams and Pierce at the rushes, with Lundeville at center. Morrison will be at halfback with Purcell in goal New Britain will start Alex ander and Boucher on the rush inc with Captain Archie Muirhead at center, Gid" Brown at halfback and Bill Blount in goal.
 Managers to Meet
 The managers of the teams in the league are scheduled to meet this afternoon at the Hotel Stanley. Ar engagements will be made for schedule and now that New Britain has voted for Sunday roller hockey, the prospects are that there will be three games a week in this city.
