n Y EW YORK, June 15.-Gn Dobie,
mi contrary to all reports, rumors
VI and innuendoes, will coach foot
4 ball at Cornell this Fall. The
alumni who were investigating
what they regarded as an unsatisfactory
state of athletic affairs at the university
cast hungry eyes upon Dobie's job. it
is said, but they ran up against student
opinion as Solidly as man runs agalnSs
a wall In the dark.

the mental depression he projects does
not bother the undergrads particularly.
And it Is an interesting fact that his
strongest adherents among the students
are members of his foot ball squad.
Without exception the gridiron men like
to play under Dobie.
Athletes Not Encouraged.
Often the question is asked, how
would a great university fare in ath-
1etics If all its athletes were there
primarily because they wanted to get
an education, and few if any were in
duced to enter by enthusiastic alumni
devoted to the task of securing material
for track, eleven, crew and nine.
Those interested in an answer to this

Cayuga institution who might try to
shunt student athletes into the institu-
ton receive no encouragement, no con-
sideration whatever and if it ever be-
comes known that an athlete selected
Cornell, after shopping about among
the colleges, he is not likely to last very
long as a student
So Cornell teams are composed of
students and as consequence foot ball,
track and field championships and the
like have not come to Ithaca in recent
years. On the other hand Cornell teams
always play the game to the hilt. are
respected as opponents and the student
backing is splendid in its spirit. :,
Men who play on Cornell's varsity
teams do not mind such beatings as
they receive, only in so far as they might
reflect upon the established athletic
prestige of the university. But they
feel that where conditions obtaining at
Cornell are known, there can be no loss
of prestige and that the handicap under
which teams are occasionally obliged to
play is taken into consideration.

"ULTON, Mo-, June 15.-James z.
Pixlee, who is to be the new ath-
letic director at George Wash
4 ington University, washington,
D. c., announced here today
that he had selected Jean Sexton of
Rennett, Mo-, former foot ball and track
star of Westminster College, of Fulton,
as a member of his coaching staff for
next year.
Sexton will devote most of his time
to intramural sports and will be IN
charge of some competitive sports on
the side.
Sexton has been athletic director of
the Higginsville, Mo, High School since
his graduation from Westminster in
1927. His weight and speed made him
an outstanding foot ball man and he
was picked as an all-star Missouri full
back several times by sports writer's and
coaches.
The selection of Sexton is in keeping
with an announced policy of Pixlee to
select young athletes who made good
under him while athletic director at
Westminster as some of his assistants
at George Washington.
Only recently he announced that he
had selected Max harrington, the brains
of Westminster teams for several sea-
sons, as one of his assistant coaches.

Things have been happening all
around the map, but In one week the
State of New York puts on the great
est crew race, the great golf champion
ship and the most important prize
fight of the year.
The talent enlisted comes from
Spain, Germany, California, Georgia
and most of the sporting map worth
talking about.
But New York furnishes the Column
bia and Cornell crews for Pough-
keepsie; Walter Hagen, Johnny Far
rell, Gene Sarazen, Mac Smith, George
voight and several others for the
United States open. Which is q fair
percentage. Also the Yankees and the
Giants in the two pennant races. All
of which is q pretty fair percentage
much sporting territory as any land
scape between the Himalayas and the
Sierras.
Who will win these events? Cali
fornia is about as good bet as any at
! Poughkeepsie. Bobby Jones and Hor-
ton Smith each have a great chance
ct Winged Foot. The Schmeling-
Pauline party is about $3.50 at this
moment, where the later stages may
furnish a clearer bunch.

dear old Yale has clothed Q
long and honorable list Of
- pole vaulting champions.
Far above Cayuga's waters
cross-country championships for years
were as permanently a part OF Cor

California collegians have long since
taken the l1umor out of Steve Farrell's
epic, "They'S no one can throw them

Is doubtful whether any university ever
developed more than so per cent as
inspiring list of champions In one
event as has Michigan in the sprints.
Among the list of intercollegiate
champions, East and West, are
Hahn, Craig, Seward, Bond, Smith,
johnson, Burke, Whitman, Hub
bard, Leschinsky, Hester, and now
Eddie Tolan bursts into the group
as possibly the greatest Of the lot.
In the Big Ten championships Tolan
ran his qualifying heat in e.3 and then
whipped George Simpson in 9.5 final.
Later in the day he pulled abreast OF
the flying Buckeye at 200 yards IN
the 900, but the desperate Ohioan
plunged ahead to win by an eyelash IN
20.6, with the balance of the field
good men, too-far in the rear.
Collectively these men have probably
turned In more points in championship
events than any group of specialists
from any institution. Tolan was an

/ tered Michigan, but the balance for
the most part were merely good high
school boys and nothing more.
Stephen Farrell has developed 10
of the group and Farrell's sprinters
have long been the fastest collective
starters of any group there is.
| Steve may yet live long enough to

 Forty five thousand paid $500, 900 to see Loughran rendered helpless by vicious left hook to the body, 3 right full on the chin, and after a count of five saw him rise and stand dazed as referee Lou Magnolia counted him out.
 Seldom in his varied career has Sharkey appeared better and from the opening gong he fought like an entirely different man. Loughran was slight favorite but he was almost helpless as he was outspeeded by Sharkey's sharp left jabs and was out handled with ease and insolence in the clinches.
