Y newals of the event in
number of institutions
entered and in the excellence
of seasons marks made by con-
testants, the ninth annual ma
tional collegiate track and field
meet at Stage Field Friday and
Saturday, promises glittering per-
formances in every event.
Seventy-siX universities, colleges and
normal schools have sent in entries,
surprising by Is the number repre-
sented last year.
Thirteen sprinterS who have bettered

was made. The point is. that the
next heavyweight char1pions Should
be made to prove his place with more
than few steps to spare.
And If Jack Dempsey decides def
nitely to come back and sticks to his
decision. he will undoubtedly have to be
considered in any final summing up.
Foot Ball Coaching.
THERE is case being presented a
i certain foot ball coach that goes
beyond the matter of winning or losing
1t involves the morale of that part Of
the student body which goes IN for the
game This is always something to be
considered-and If it Is proved, is .
heavy indictment
The nature of foot ball is such
that there is bound to be tendency
toward hard driving and drudgery.
But this can be overdone, and often
is. 1t is easy enough to take the
fun out of foot ball and to kill the
spirit of team or squad.
Years ago there was a certain big
university team that had been driven
to the breaking point. This team was
losing game after game. A hurried call
was sent to another coach, who saw at
once what had happened. In place of
bawling out his squad, his opening re-
mark was about as follows:
This is the best looking material
I've seen in long time. You fellows
have run into some bad breaks, but
1t will be different from now. You're
too good to be beaten again."
And 1t so happened this team lost
no more games that Fall. There
are times when it is necessary to
kill overconfidence and a touch Of
the swell head. But there are also
times when encouragement and a 81
praise are more important than con-
slant riding and driving.
PeSSimiSm in foot ball is frequently
overdone. Few coaches want to have
the word spread about that they have
great material, because If a slump
comes and the. material doesn't pan
out, the coach then takes it on the
jaw. And there are times when great
material" isn't as great as it seems
There are also great morale makers
and in this class there are probably
none any better than such coaches as
Knute Rockne. Dan McGugin and Hill
Alexander, to mention only few from
long list who might also be included
There are many coaches who do an in
calculable amount of good outside their
ability to devise plays and teach WIN
ming foot ball. There are others who
could be much more useful along the
lines of character building and morale
making.

THE foot ball coach is the medicine

represented by the college tribes. In
the old days when a medicine man
piled up a record for making bad medi-

When the modern medicine man makes
bad medicine which causes tribal de-

by drumming him away from the
wigwams.

the outlook pleasing. Also. am Vir-
ginia man myself. and every chap had

Jimmy Driver Able.
These interested in Virginia. and viz
tually everybody is. will be glad TO hear
that Driver has thus expressed himself.
And no doubt exists that he means
every word of what he has said. Driver
has real ability. and it IS ability to do
things that gives him his optimistic out
look for athletics at Virginia. He sees
possibilities way beyond any goal so
far attained by the Charlottesville
school, and will come just about as
near as any human being could come
to developing those possibilities into
realities.
Probably the most pleasing part OF
the situation as indicated by Driver, Is
the spirit of cooperation he has found.
Usually when a man takes charge OF
athletics at any school his f1rst WORK Is
to look around to ascertain from whom
he may most likely expect help. Some
times there is just as big group wiling
to throw monkey wrenches into the ma
chinery as there is ready to aid, and to
find everybody willing to put shoulder
to the wheel would be pleasant sur

time he spends a dollar of Virginla's
money. Virginia will come near getting

In the past the Charlottesville school

of athletics that Driver will cure just

PURDUE is LATEST
TARGET IN BIG TEN
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
FRANKFORT, Ind, June 5.-Everett
Case, coach of two Frankfort high
school teams that won State basket
ball titles, told members of the school
board last night that Purdue University
athletic leaders had revealed his credit
miX-up with Iowa because he refused to
help them proselyte players for their
own school.
Case told the board he was aroused
at publication of stories stating he had
received credits from the University of
Iowa the same year that several of his
high school basket ball stars entered the
Iowa school.
The coach told the board he would
go to Maj. John L. Grifflth, Big Ten
athletic commissioner, Thursday to lay
charges of recruiting and professionally
ing athletes against Ward Lambert,
Purdue basket ball coach, and that he
would have witnesses to back his
charges.
The board told Case 1t would back
him. and urged that he tell Griffith all
he knew about Big Ten athletics.
IF the Big Ten wants to clean up,
let's help them do it," said President ].

THAT holds good for faculty,
alumni and students. All are
anxious to do on the athletic field
and in competition with sister in
StituitonS what they believe it is
possible for Virginia to do, and
everywhere I have found a help
ing hand.
Down at Virginia we know that We
have not done as we'll in sports as we
might have done in the last few years,
but we are going to try to make up Cor
lost time. We know what some of our
faults have bene and will eliminate
them. 1t will not be long before we
shall have everything going in good
shape. with a strongly centralized or
ganization. We all believe that lack
of centralized control has been one of
our main difficulties, especially in the
development of teams.
"One exceedingly pleasing factor in
the athletic situation at Virginia is the
fine relationships the university has
with other universities, due, in large
measure, I believe. to the fine work
done by Dr. John Nef, DR.. George Fer
guson and Ellis Brown. OF course, I
shall continue to have the advice and
help of DR.. Neff and DR.. Ferguson, and
I am indeed sorry that Ellis Brown
early in the year decided to resign to
go in business. I am sure that he
would have been of great aid in carry
ing out our program.
President a Big Help.

I took charge of athletics. He Is willing
to lend his help in everything and
henceforth he wants athletics to be
department of the university nth the
standing it has in some OF the Dig
Middle Western universities. Athletics
at Virginia will be on much higher
plane for this reason alone.
THE spirit that President Alderman
has shown seems to be the university's
spirit. which is one of helpfulness. So
far, I have not seen even a ripple on
the surface of the water. To me, the
situation at Virginia is much the same
as a great. deep river which flows ST.
lently but surely toward its destination.
At Virginia everybody seems to have

The Best Heavyweight.
THE winner of the Pauline Schmeling
l. affair is booked to meet Jack Shar-
key in September to decide the final
elimination. But in the meanwhile there
are two other entries to be considered.
One is Jack Dempsey. who is still dam
generous against certain type of fighter
the type that will crowd in to exchange
punches at close range. The other is
Tommy Loughran. who has had far
more success against heavyweights than
against others who are smaller and
faster. Dempsey was always more effec-
tive against ring giants than he was
against smaller men, such as Gibbons
and Tunney. He couldn't bother Glib
bons lot in Is rounds as far back as
1928. And he had no success at all
against Tunney, outside of one round
of the 20 they fought.
Harry Greb had far greater sue
cess against Gibbons, Tunney and
other big men than he had against
Tiger Flowers, Walker and other
smaller men who had much more
speed. s-
Tommy Loughran has swarmed all
over such fighters as Johnny Risko and
Ernie Schaaf. His speed has made the
bigger men look foolish. Loughran
would be close to an even money bet
against any heavyweight today, for most
of those around couldn't hit him with
a double handful of shot. -
The question has, been frequently
asked as to whether the Muldoon- Tun-
ney trophy will be awarded to the win
ner of the September bout. This will
probably depend lot upon how things
work out. If either Schmeling or Pau
limo can put over a one-sided victory
this June and then knock out Jack
or whip him decisively. he will
then probably get the nomination.
But unless the final winner comes
through with a big margin to spare
"a decisive victory-there is small
chance that any such award will be
made. For it would mean nothing
at all under these conditions If it
