IRON all sections Of the South,
r. except in the immediate
/ vicinity of Washington,
come reports that track
athletics in the colleges should
reach their highest state of de-
velopment this Spring. And even
here in Washington, where
Georgetown is doing very little
and Maryland is way below par,
one school bids fair to go far
above its standards of previous
seasons. The outlook for the
sport generally seems to be ex-
ceptional.
Down at North Carolina, which, I'M
der the direction Of Bob Fetzer, has
come to the front brilliantly in the last
few years, another great squad is in
training. Even Coach Fetzer himself
admits that he has the best-looking out
fit he has ever coached, and that he
should go through a successful season.
But according to Fetzer, a good many
other schools are going to have much
stronger teams than usual, and the
competition, therefore, should be much
keener.
Especially do I look for virginia to
make a great showing in track this
Spring" says Fetzer. II happen to
know that Archie Hahn, new coach
there, has been working hard and max
ing lot of Roadway. He will have one
of Virginia's greatest squads this Spring,
unless I am greatly mistaken. In the
field events especially is Virginia sure
to be strong. Just watch the squad that
Hahn throws into the meets this year.
He'll make them sit up and take notice
I'VE should have another good team.
perhaps our best. We ought to make
good showing, but then you can never
tell what will happen in college ath-
letics, as far as victories and defeats
are concerned, because that all depends
on the kind of competition we hit And
think the competition this year is
going to be tougher than it has ever
been in the South.
Tulane, Louisiana State, Georgia,
Mississippi A. and M, Virginia Poly
tecnnic Institute, Georgia Tech, have
good teams, and this Spring I look for
the Southern Conference CHAMPIONSHIPS
to produce some new records Track
athletics in the South Is booming, and
| believe largely because it affords a
medium Tor competition for a great
many athletes who otherwise would not
get any opportunity to take part in
inter collegiate sports.
Catholic University will have to be
depended on to carry the banner for
local schools this Spring. Georgetown
is not taking part in any dual mee.s
and will have only few representa-
tives in the Penn relays and in the in
| tercollegiates, while Maryland is weaker
than it has been in years. I The Brook
| landers think they have the best pros
| poets they have known on the track, and
| if their field events men measure up to
the standard set by their runners in
| the indoor meet last month, then con-
siderable success should be attained

TENORI0 MAKES 1T
HOT FOR PETROLLE
Fargo Express Disappoints by
Failing to Kayo Filipino
in Ten-Rounder.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, April 1.-THE Fargo
Express" escaped an attempted derail-
ment here last night, and today still
was running on the main line.
Billy Petrolle, veteran lightweight
fighter from North Dakota, had some
difficulty with Jope Tenorio, Filipino
from New York, but at the end of 10
rounds newspaper critics agreed that
Billy had the better of the milling.
Throughout the proceedings, the Fill
Pine refused to assume a horizontal po-
sition long enough for the referee to
start counting, and this caused some
disappointment to the customers, who
had turned out with high hopes of wit
Messing a knockout.
Once in the fifth round, Tenorio went
to the canvas, but he got right up, and
was able to stand of Petrolle without
any difficulty. Several times the referee,
Harry Kessler, warned Billy he was
punching low, but an examination of
the Filipino after the fight gave no in
dication of it. Petrolle weighed 1873,
four pounds less than Tenorio.
In another 10-rounder, Johnny
Jadich, Philadelphia lightweight, shaded
Dayy Abad, st. Louis. Max Schmeling
boxed three rounds with two sparring
partners.

Basket ball." Beckett recalled to-

smith at the Springfield, Mass, Y.
M. C. A. in 1891. When we started
playing the game a few months
later at the ~ in Marinette, Wis
where I was physical director, we
used an ordinary peach basket,
nailed to the wall of the gym.
Every time the ball went in the
basket one of the players, or some
times one of the spectators, had to
run up a ladder to get it out before
play could be resumed. I hit on
the idea of Ringing the bottom with
a spring, so that the ball would
fall through by yanking a string.
The plan spread to other places,
and I believe this was the fore
runner of the basket of today"
