AMERICA NEEDS MIDDLE DISTANCE
RUNNERS FOR 1928 OLYMPIC TEAM

Philadelphia. Pa, Jan. 9.-Fccling
fairly we'll set for the sprin. races
with such stars at Paddock, Borah,
Locke, Bowman, Hursey and Meal
lister, the American Olympic Com
mittee is setting its glasses on the
indoor tracks, scouting for good
nliddle-distance talent.
Since time too humiliating to re-
call the United States has failed to
win q race of more than 200 meters
in the Olympic games and in 1924
the sacred ground was trespassed
when Harold Abrahams of England
won the 100-meter race from flock
Of the best sprinters that ever rep
resented America.
For years Lawson Robertson, head
coach of the American team, has
been praying for youngsters to go
in for the quarter.mile, the half
and the mile, but only a few have
had the tenacity to stick to it and
the field from which to pick the
1928 runners necessarily will be
smaller.
Three of the best of the American
flock-Lloyd Hahn, Bill Cox and
Blondy Romig-arc now in training
for the indoor season and will con-
tinuc through for the outdoor trials.
Hahn Resumes Work
Hahn recently resumed training
after long rest and Romir few
days ago put on his toys and won a
cross-c0untry race near Philadel-
phia. Cox, q student at Penn State
College, has been in alomst contin-
uOus training.
Hahn, because of the many races
he won last year indoors and the
records he set, is considered to be
the bset chance for American points
in Amsterdam. His victory over

Vic Brown. the brilliant North

after speedy dribbles down the

suffer either until the last part of

New York, Jan. 9.-(AP)-Bar-
ring some sling and arrow practice
by outrageous misfortune, John Nc
Graw believes the New York Giants
will have considerable to say before
the National Leagues 1923 cham
pions are crowned.
The Giants had a lot Of luck last
year but it was mostly bad. In
juries during the early part of the
season kept baseballs Napoleon
busy trying to devise some sort Of a
lineup that could keep him from be-
ing left at the post before the race
really got under way. Finally, the
ink departed and the McGrawmen
started an upward climb that threat
ened to bring both major league PEN
nants to New York. The drive came
too late, however. and the Giants
were forced to trail both Pittsburgh
and st. Louis.
Probably considering h m +
lucky to finish as high ms third
place, McGraw began his plans for
the 1923 campaign. The addition Of
Lefty O'Doul, crack coast league
outfielder, and Of a flock Of new
pitchers have given the Giants pa
per power" that seems the equal Of
that of any of their rivals.
Has Best Infield
In Terry, Hornsby, Jackson and
Lindstrom. McGraw has one Of the
best infields in the league. The two
"Andys"-Reese and Cohen, are the
principal reservists. Cohen starred
in the international league last sum-
mer. while Reese was filling in at
third base for McGraw. The other
infielders include Baxter Jordan of
Charlotte, N. c., and c. r. Craw-
ford, Greenville, N. C.
!. With Harper and Rousch as two
sure starters, McGraw is depending
upon O'Doul to fill his quota Of fly
chasers. Once a pitcher with the
Yankees, O'Doul experienced a
change Of heart and took up the
business Of sharing flies, and hitting
them far and often. He comes to the
Giants from San Francisco. The
other outfielders include Leslie
Mann, the terror Of southpaws, Art
jain. once with the Chicago Cubs,
and Melvin OFT, pinch hitter extra
ordinary.
Indications are that the chief bur-
den on the mound will be carried by
Larry Benton, who led the league on
won and lost basis last year, Bur-
leigh Grimes, Fred Fitzsimmons and
Virgil Barnes. McGraw hopes to
develop at least one more starting
hurler from among Dutch Henry,
Lefty Faulkner, Toronto star, Bill
Walker, Denver southpaw, and Ar
thur johnson, purchased from Nor
folk. All of these saw service dur
ing the latter part Of the 1927 CAM
paign.
With AL Devormer released, it
looks like lack Taylor and Jack
Cummings will divide the catching
duty. although Alfred Spohrer, a
highly-touted lad from Wilkes Barre,
joins the team in the spring.

Bison Cage Five Key

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 9.-Followers
of the. North Dakota agricultural
college basketball team have been
casting admiring. glances at the
smooth playing Of Captain George
Mcpherson, center on the Bison
court squad. In five preseason
games, the elongated Scotchman has
accumulated 81 units to average II
per contest. In the River Falls Nor
NAL battle which the Bison won 80
to 90 it was chiefly the work of
Mcpherson that pulled the buffalo
basketeers out Of the mire behind
the smooth working Wisconsin
quint. The first game Of the season
at Fargo, against the st. Mary's
squad was virtually saved by
T"Mac's" heady playing. All five
victories can be traced directly to
the work Of the Bison center, and
all-conference honors seem doomed
to follow the seasons performance

Illini Basketball
Coach Approves of
Anti-Dribble Rules

Urbana, ILL.,, Jan. 9-(AP)-Elim-
nation Of the dribble in basketball
will create a faster, better game,
prevent stalling and compel more
passing and activity, said Craig C.
Ruby, coach of the University of
Illinois basketball team, on his re-
turn from a holiday trip to the Uni
versity of Washington.
II favor the one-bounce rule
Ruby said, because it means more
passes, more intercepted passes and
more activity by players generally.
We tried it for six weeks in practice
last spring and became convinced
Of its soundness.
"The way the rules are enforced
in the Big Ten, permitting players
to go in and break up stalling, elm
nation Of the dribble is. not going
to do the game any harm. Among
Illinois teams and doubtless the Sit
uation is the same ID other states,
where stalling is carried on to cx-
cess, on small high school floors,
the five-naan defense often is SO
strong that i. produces stalling. The
one-bouncs rule would help to break
this up."
