BIG TEN THREATENS
BREAK WITH A. A. j.
National Body Refuses to
Sanction Northwestern
Chicago A. A. Meet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO, January 10--An open
break between the Big Ten and
the Amateur Athletic Union
~ appeared imminent today.
Refusal of the A. A. u. to
sanction a swimming meet between
Northwestern University and the Chi
cago Athletic Association last night has
rekindled the dispute between the or
CARNATIONS, which threatens to termi-
nate in an open rupture.
The A. A. L. refused to sanction the
meet on the grounds that several North
western swimmers had become ineligible
by competing in the American Amateur
Federation meets last Summer and
warned the c. A. A. that its team would
be liable for suspension if the meet was
held.
Northwestern, through Kenneth L.
Tug" Wilson, director of athletics,
countered by announcing it would here
after schedule athletic contests with
teams mot under control of the A. A. u"
Mai. L. Griffith, athletic commissioner
of the Big Ten and an opponent of the
present A. A. u administration, took uD
the dispute in Northwestern's favor, in
timating he would bring the matter
before the Big Ten.
Should Keep Hands OF.
"Our universities and colleges are big
enough to take care of their athletics
without the help of the A. A. IT," Com
missioner Griffith said LAS long as an
athlete is competing under the colors
of college or university the A. A. U.
should adopt hands-off policy"
THE A. A. U. has not charged that
these Northwestern swimmers have vio-
lated any amateur laws" Wilson said
in his statement. This was an amateur
meet. Their only offense in the eyes Of
the A. A. U. is that they competed in
a meet which was not controlled by the
A. A. U. In the future. we will schedule
our athletic contests with colleges. uni
versities and clubs which are not under
control of the A. A. u"
Avery Brundage, president Of the
National A. A. u, said it was not the
intention of his organization to tell
college men what to do in their own
line of activity. but when they step
into open competition. then the A. A. u.
rules viii govern as long as the A. A. U.
is recognized as the controlling body Of
sport in America"

oe BASKET Ball Tom Armour is Congressional Pro

resident secretary at Westchester-Bilt-
more, playing i'll the national amateur
championship several times, but never
going far in the simon pure title chase.
His activities at Westminster came
under the ban of the United States
Golf Association in 1924, and during
that Winter he turned professional,
touring the South with a group of pros.
He played in an exhibition match at
the Washington Golf and Country Club
in the Spring of 1925. and the follow
ing year returned to Washington as
pre- at Congressional.
The year 1927 was Tommy's year, for
he won the national open at Oakmont In
the play-off Of tie with Harry Cooper,
and later annexed the Canadian open
at Montreal. later going on an eX-
tended exhibition tour with Johnny
Farrell. In the course of his campaign
he picked up several minor titles. Last
year at Chicago Armour dropped his
national championship to Farrell. later
relinquishing his Canadian title to Leo
Diegel, but not before he had won the
metropolitan, the Pennsylvania State
and several other minor events. Infect
ed teeth hurt his game in the latter
part of the season, and he had many
of them drawn before embarking on
his Western and Southern trip.
Alex Armour and Tony Penna, a lad
whom Tommy brought here from New
York, are at Congressional.
