TOO HARD TO PICK

a It is a pity intercollegiate sport
could not have been spared this.
Methods of play. application Of rules
and conditions generally differ so mate
rally in the various sections that 1t Is
an intrepid and Sanguine critic indeed
who is willing to organize even hypo-
thetical national team.
For instance you might assemble on
paper a most impresSive-lo looking team
and yet have it all wet because Of leav-
ing off Cat Thompson of Montana State,
which team. by the way, Is bearing to-
ward its third Rocky. Mountain Confer
ence title.
In winning two out of three games
against the Cook Paints team--the ma
tional A. A. U. champions-Montana
State presented Cat Thompson as a
veritable hawkeye; he averaged Is
points a game for the three-game series.
And in this series the peerless De
Bernardo scored only II points against
who committed only five personal fouls
In stopping the Cook star.
It Is interesting to note, by the way,
that four members of the onrushing
Montana team, including Thompson.
are Utah boys which ranks with-per-
haps 1t exceeds-Indiana and Oklahoma
as basket ball centers.
Basket ball in the Beehive State has
provided towns Of no more than 1900
inhabitants with gymnasiums seating
more than the entire population Of these
communities.
Twenty thousand spectators annually
jam the Deseret Gymnasium in Salt
Lake City when the four-day State
irterscholastic series are held.
4. The Utah infant In swaddling clothes
reaches not for his rattle but for his
basket ball. Hence Thompson and stars
like him which Utah breeds.

In a clay court championship tourney
which earned more than $4,000. The
column of red figures, OF course. was
explained by the outlay for players "ex-
penses." And also recently the writer
told how the U. S. G. A. rule that golf
players may not receive even expenses
had been violated.
Is Difficult Question.
It Is rather difficult situation. Pro-
moters of amateur events have to make
money-enough money to pay the cost
Of these events. And they can not pay
the freight unless the competition in
wolves outstanding performers. So the
athletes have the promoters by the
threats.
Yet 1t might not prove to be a death
grip. Amateurs, most of them anyway,
love to play the games at which they
are expert. And If all clubs were to
adopt hard-boiled attitude in the
matter of expenses. paying the actual
expenses and no more, there Is little
doubt that the representation Of good
men at all events would be satisfactory.
And II there were some stars who
were to hold thst they could not afford
to play in q tennis or golf tourney or
run in a track meet unless they were
permitted to put in swollen expense ac-
counts, why then the hard and fast
attitude of the promoters would do
nothing more than force them into the
professional class-in which they really
belong.
Barbuti has challenged the A. A. U.
to clean house. It will be interesting to
see what happens.

BARBUTPS CHARGES
CHALLENGE A. A. j.
Must Settle Question as to
Legitimate Expenses of
Star Athletes.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

N YEW YORK, March 5.-Ray Bar
M butts statement in his letter
VI to j. j. Deignan, chairman of
4 the registration committee of
the Metropolitan A. A. u. that
certain track athletes have received
more than their expenses from clubs
holding track meets is a matter Of
pointed discussion among those inter-
ested In amateur sports.
Barbuti,s further statement that this
fact is known to many college and club
coaches and educators and to many
newspaper men may be true for all
whisperings to this effect have been
heard on all sides for long time.
Depend Upon Stars.
Clubs holding meets, so run the VEIL
ed stories, depend absolutely upon star
performers for gate receipts sufficient
in volume to defray the cost of events
and expect as matter of course that
money paid to many athletic specialists
whose names and fame make them
drawing cards will be expense money in
name only.
The question that A. A. u. ought to
settle is whether or not an amateur can
name 5000 as involving his expenses to
and from, say Boston, and including an
overnight stay in New York, and still
be an amateur. Or, is this one of those
matters that had best be left alone,
very much as a family skeleton is ig-
nored by members thereof?
The French have phrase that may
be regarded as fitting this situation
These are things" they say with
shrug, which we don't talk about"
They don't talk about it in tennis
not much, that is.to say. Yet from all
accounts tennis stars. some of them at
least, are no less avaricious than great
track athletes. Recently the writer
adverted to the experience Of the De-
troit Tennis Club, which lost money

CHICAGO, March 5.-The "free-for-
ALL predicted for the Western Confer

the University of Iowa field house next
Friday and Saturday may not develop
if Illinois keeps up the pace set in its
dual meet with Iowa last Saturday.
At least five squads-Illinois, Iowa,
Chicago, Wisconsin and Ohio State

winning the 1929 title, but the ease
with which Illinois conquered Iowa's
supposedly powerful team has made the
Illini strong favorites to keep the title
they won in 1928.
Coach Harry Gill showed Saturday
that he not only has an imposing list
of winners but that he Is also we'll

MEASURING OF COURT
FAILS TO AID BADGERS

ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 5 up.
Coach Walter Meanwell and his
Wisconsin team take their basket
bali seriously-even to MiIlimeters.
For more than an hour before their
disastrous game with Michigan last
night, Meanwell and his retinue of
coaches measured and re-measured
Michigan's hardwood court.
"Say, that basket is several MILL
meters lower than the other one"
Meanwell informed the startled
Michigan fieldhouse attendants.
The discrepancy was adjusted after
more laborious measuring, but Wis
consin lost anyway.

MURPHY SETS MARK

CHICAGO, March 5.-Charles Stretch"
Murphy, Purdue's 6-foot-6 scoring ace,
holds the all-time Western Conference
scoring record.
Scoring eight field goals and six free
throws against Ohio State at Lafayette
last night. Murphy ran his seasons
total to 143 points, more than the mark
of 1873 set by Johnny Miner Of Ohio
State in 1925.
With Glen Harmeson feeding the
lanky Murphy Stretch" scored enough
points in the first half to set a new
record and then continued in the sec

Ohio State defense.

The same play does not often work
in basket ball. Clever opponents
see to that. Thus when the Kansas
center, leading the attack on re-
bound, reverses from under his goal
and comes leaping diagonally up
court and takes pass from his floor
guard, No. S, 1t Is not always possible
for this center, No. 3, to dribble in
for an easy shot.
Then it's up to him to make an
other play In order to penetrate this
set zone five-man defense. The re-
sulting play is here diagrammed. No.
8. instead of dribbling, which he is
blocked from doing, passes to one OF
the forwards, No. or No. 2, as they
rush down the sidelines to get lead
on their opponents. In this case the
center, No. 3, finds his forward No.
2, ahead of his man. A quick pass
to No. 2, flashing dribble by the
latter and a shot and the scorer rolls
I'D another points for Kansas, amid
some deafening cheers.
At times this play Is impossible.
Again it's up to No. 2.
