US. TO Lead
MUSIC WORLD,
SOUSASTATES
Famous Composer and
Leader Predicts Re-
newed Interest in the
Art

HARLINGEN, Oct. l3.-Lieutenant
Commander John Philip Sousa, who,
this year is observing his golden
Jubilee as composer and conductor
by taking his band upon It's TWEEN
tieth transcontinental tour. will be
here with that organization al the
Municipal Auditorium, October %.
For thirty-six years he has taken his
bandmen on tour and always with
tremendous artistic ard financial
success. Everywhere he has been
he has been a close observer and,
as a result of his observations he
makes the prediction that within fiji
teen years America will lead the
world in every branch Of music.
1T is bound TO come" he said the
other day in an interview. I'VE have
q cosmopolitan publication, and. just
as surely as we have made phenom-
email strides in 50 we
will IN music. The country is ready
with its commercial superiority to
turn to the arts and 20 help music
IN every possible way. 1t wasn't so.
long age that the American was
nonresident as a musical factor.
Twenty-Five years ago il -7ould be
a rarity to see the name Of an Amer
lean on any metropolitan opera pro-
gram. Pick up a program Of the
Metropolitan Of today and what do
you find? Such names as Tibbets,
Wakefield, Page. Talley. Halliday.
Marshall, Hackett and many Others.
No longer does the public demand
foreign names for musicians. Peo-
pie realize that talent is rot con-
fined. TO any one nationality. The
public is more interested in the
work that the man or the woman can
do than in the name he or she bears.
IL YOU are a genius or IL you have
great talent. you car be Smith,
Brown, Patterson or Jones-the pub
lie will accept you il you have the
goods.
at is a rarity 70 find a man who
hasn't n love for music. So. II
seems TO me that music should be
q part Of the curriculum in every
school and college. The amateur
derives great pleasure from his
ability 10 play an instrument or TO
sing. As for the professional must
cian-he can make a splendid liv-
ing and he may progress 10 great
heights. | am convinced that there
10 no endeavor in our time that is
making greater forward strides than
music. 1t is gratifying to learn
that our most progressive colleges
and institutions OF learning are fur
nishing instruction in music. The
bands and orchestras in our high
schools and colleges will develop
myrisds of players, some of whom
will unquestionsbly in time rank as
geniuses in music. II is indeed a
most heartening situation"

The United States has failed to
win the Olympic title only once, in
1920. Sol Butler, then national
champion and big favorite, pulled
tendon on his first jump and was
eliminated. Petersen, q Swede,
won with a leap of 90 feet, 5 y inch

| had beaten. by over q foot. Carl
Johnson took second place for
/ America, and Dink Templeton OF
Stanford, now an Olympic coach,
finished fourth as an added starter.
The Olympic record of "a feet,
II IA inches, made by Albert Gut
terson, the old Vermont star, in the
1912 games, will be Hubbard's mark
this year. Gutterson cleared this
distance at Stockholm In his first
preliminary try, within a half inch
of the worlds record at that time.
Neither he nor any other competitor
, came even close to it in the subse-
quent jumps.
The late Myer Prinstein, who
competed for Syracuse and the old
Irish Am erican A. c., was the only
athlete to win the Olympic title
twice, in 1904 and 1906.

Substitutes Harvard on Basket

Annapolis, Md, May % Rl-
Echoes Of the Army-Navy athletic
controversy concerning the three
year eligibility rule affecting varsity
team competition. reverberated in
sports circles again today with the
announcement by Naval Academy
authorities that Harvard had been
substituted for West Point on next
years basketball schedule.
Adhering to the principle estab-
lshed last fall by which Navy had
warned that it would not enter
competition in intercollegiate circles
with teams allowing Its players to
compete on varsity teams for more
than three years, Lieut.. Commander
O. O. kessing, graduate manager IOf
athletics at the Naval Academy. said
today that the Crimson would meet
Navy Feb. %, 1929, thus eliminating
the cadets from their customary
clash with the midshipmen in bas-
ketball.
The appearance of Harvard on the
MILDLY schedule brings the second of
the big Three" teams into Naval
Academy major athletics-Prince-
ton being already under contract to
meet the sailors in football at Phil
adelphia next fall in place OF the
annual Army-Navy gridiron classic.
A few days ago Naval Academy
officials announced that Johns Hop
kins had been cut from the Navy la
crosse schedule next year, explaining
that efforts to come to an agreement
regarding the three-year rule had
been unavailing-the Baltimore in
stituton insisting that the number
of years of competition for players
should not be limited under Naval
Academy standards.

chief hope for the first place IN the
Olympic championship this year.
National champion for the past

He gets tremendous distance with
his famous scissors kick after TAX

Comparison gives the best indjca-
ton of Hubbards remarkable rec

the National a. A. L. title he has
never failed to do less than "a feet.
In the past three years he has
cleared over % feet. Yet from
1876 up TO Hubbard's time only one
other national champion. Sol Butler,
of Dubuque. Iowa. another negro,
surpassed "A feet.
Hubbard holds the present worlds
record of % feet, 10 rs inches
