Los Angeles Olympic Committee
Los Angeles. Jan. 3.-(R-Los An
geles starts the new year in stride
toward its preparations for the games
of the tenth olympiad. to be cele-
brated in this city in 1882.
California, as a state, more than a
year ago put herself solidly behind
this great project with q substantial
contribution to its finances. Governor
G. G. Young some months ago ap-
pointed the California olympiad COM
mission to cooperate with the organic
ing committee. and this commission
now is actively at work. The city Of
Los Angeles has for several years been
making preparations and providing
facilities and equipment. December 80
the government of the city approved
the ordinance providing for its part Of
the cost of improving the Los Angeles
coliseum. where the games will be Cell
tered. The county government already
has indicated its readiness to provide
its half of the improvement.
The coliseum at present has a ca
pacity of 10000 reserved seats, and the
plans provide for an ultimate enlarge
ment to los 900 seats.
The olympiad auditorium is ready
with 10000 seats for the boxing, wrest-
ling, and weight lifting events. Plans
are being completed for the olympic
swimming stadium, for the rowing
course, the. fencing arena, the yacht
ing, equestrian. pentathlon, and other
departments of the games.
The Los Angeles county government
recently has completed a very large
addition to the county museum adj
jacent to the coliseum, In which the
olympic fine arts exhibits will be
shown under direction of General
Charles H. Sheriff. of New York city.
chairman of the Olympic fine arts
committee.
The organizing committee is strenu-
ously engaged in completing arrange
ments for all of its preparations. and
will have its report and all of its plans
complete for presentation at the
olympic congress to be held next May
in Berlin. We are confident this report
will be so satisfactory. especially in re-
spect to the items Of reduced trans
portation rates, housing, and other
expenses, that the olympic countries
will be spurrcd In their arrangements
to send large representative teams to
make all outstanding success of the
games of the tenth olympiad two
years hence.

Chicago. Jan. 3.-R)-A tight de-

gave De Paul university . % to II
victory over the North Dakota State
college basketball team. De Paul led
from the start, but 1t vas not until
the final period that 1t was able to
pull away to q safe margin in the
game last night.
Hard luck on short shots In the
first period hurt the Bison chances
for victory. Goodwin and Fairhead,
North Dakota forwards, broke
through the.De Paul defense for q
half a dozen short shots, but missed
them all. North Dakota's first points
were scored by Captain Gergen who
connected for q pair Of free throws
after De Paul had scored four points.
De Paul cut loose In the closing
period and collected q 21-6 lead with
only q few minutes to 60. Then
Seitz, Nordstrom and Smith each
scored q field goal to bring North
Dakota's total to II.
Except for the furry Of unsuccess-
full dog" shots in the first period,
North Dakota was forced to shoot
from out in the floor, and the three
final field goals by the Bison were
long ones. The North Dakota team
appered to tire after their opening
drive and failed to display the power
expected. Captain Gergen, Bliss and
May played excellent basketball, but
could not carry the load alone.
North Dakota used 10 men in at

squad got into action, most Of them
in the closing minutes after Coen

The closeness of the score until the

that held the fans interest in this

Because both teams elected to play

of sport, at the special request of the

their views as to what the new year

they look forward to unusually keen
competition, especially in internation-

Bobby Jones, national open golf
champion-"The only thing worthy
of comment in 1929 was the fact that
there ere no new arrivals in cham

won by men and women who had held
them before except the American
Amateur which was won by Harrison
Johnston, a contender for years. /
think 1880 will see much action in in

in the amateur field. The United
