MICHIGAN asserts three of its
WI back field performers, Rich,
Totzke and Wheeler, are triple
threat men. Unfortunately, however,
the rest of the team fails to hold
while these three do their stuff.
Many gridders throw and catch
passes all week and then gum up
the losses on Saturday. The old
leather feels good when it nes-
ties in the clutch and with no
murderOus tackler in the personal
vicinity.

Jackie Warner Goes to
Washington in Trade.
By United Press

By United Press
DETROIT, Oct. 49, Stanley
CBucky) Harris today was appointed
manager of the Detroit Tigers for
the season Of 1929, President Frank
Navin of tfhe Detroit baseball club
announced. Harris succeeds George
Moriarty, who resigned this week
after trying for two years to place
the Tigers at the top of the Ameri-
can League.
Navin would not disclose the
length of Harris contract, but it
was understood it would run for
three years or more.
It was indicated the former Wash
ington pilot would manage from the
bench, possibly appearing occasion
ally as a pinch hitter.
Jackie Warner, Detroit third base
man, was traded to Washington IL
the Harris deal.
Warner will not be missed, since
Marty McNanus, obtained last sea-
son in trade from st. Louis,
played third base NOSE of 1927.
Warner was purchased from the
Pacific Coast League for a reputed
$40, 1000 several seasons ago. He failed
to live up to his reputation here,
largely because of his nerves, >
critics said.

of which-and here the plot grows
feveriSh-Roper is the president.
y II
II think Meehan is guilty of a
cheap and indefensible act" said
Roper. ."He is out there on the
field to set an example for the
young men under him. To adopt
cigarets hardly comes under this
head. AS president of the coaches
association shall move he be
removed from the membership
roster at our next meeting"

NHEEHAN'S retort, somewhat YER
N1bose, is that nobody is going
to dictate to me-" Presumably this
included the Princeton coach.
Somehow think this was the
correct thing to say. If Meehar
wants to make an egg of himself
and this is what the Indictment
loosely charges should be hi;
business, not Roper'S.
AS matter of fact the situation
is hardly as alarming as the Prince
ton coach is disposed to view it. The
terrorS and temptations that sup
poSedly lurk in the white cylindrical
bodies of cigarets strike you early,
if at all.
I found Roper more interesting
when he switched to football. He
is a man of great personal magnet
ism and driving force. It is easy
to understand the legend that has
grown up around him, viz, that he
can take mediocre players and instiIl
them with fighting fury that no
championship squad is capable CT
stopping.
Animation of spirit and mind is
stamped clearly on his personality
He is man who was built to lead
and to fight-the perfect symbol
of the Tiger of old Nassau. Roper
has been at Princeton a great
number of years. They say he can
stay for life if he wants to. And
maybe he will.

w 19.-Nothing compares to
lacrosse as a means of train
ing and conditioning men for

coach of the Army eleven,
this fall is one of the hardest
in the country.
That's a real game" says
Jones, land one that brings

football.

durance, mental and physical.
That pace Exchanging Swerving
and running is a great
aid to backs. You have
to use your arms and bodies to
check opponents and that
helps both linemen and backs.

that football and lacrosse do
not conflict in time as they
come at opposite ends of the
year"

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-On a tam
bark track in. Madison Square
Garden Sunday night, professional
marathon running will be reintro-
duced to the American public after
a lapse of two decades. Distance

and Hayes put on their famous pur-
suit act.

champion; Joie Ray, and host of
other distance runners will compete
for prizes aggregating $500. A
tan-bark track, ten laps to the mile,
has been laid down in Madison
Square Garden, and the contestants
have been training in the vicinity
for several days.
Joie Ray will start favorite,
largely because more is known about
him than about the others. Ray
recently turned professional for the
purpose of meeting Ell Ouafi, who
gave up his amateur standing inn
mediately after the Olympic games.
What started out to be a grudge
race, appropriately sponsored by the
promoters, developed into a real
marathon run with nine entries
when two Films, an Esthonian, an
Italian, an Englishman, a Jew and
a Swede were added to the list Of
starters.
In addition to Ray and Ouafi,
there will be Willie Kolehmainen,

Wattinen, Giusto Umeck of Italy.
Arthur Newton, British distance
runner; Sam Richman, champion Of
the Ghetto, and Gunner Knausland

U.S.Chances
Appear Slim
Richards Predicts France
Will Retain Davis Cup
for Years.

R.y United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Vincent
Richards, one of Americas rank
ing tennis stars until he became a
professional, believes the United
States chances in the coming Davis
cup matches in France are slim.
In recent letter Richards pre-
diected France would retain the COW
eted trophy for four years, and
added that the value of the French
team was not enhanced by aged
veterans. He pointed out that all
other countries were handicapped by
the lack of young material in ten
mis- competition.
Richards also predicted that Big
Bill Tilden would make a come
back during 1923 that would again
place him in at the head of the list
Of international players.
Il know what stopped Jack Demp-
sey-his legs. I know that Tilden
was stopped by the same thing at
Forest Hills last year, but I am con-
WINGED that a new Tilden will 60 on
the courts next summer, deter
mined to win, and I am convinced
he will VIM" Richards wrote.
"The only trouble is that he no
longer can win the cup single
handed-no man can do that
against the French array of talent"
