The band played the Swiss national

didn't have the stamina of his frail-

Conger, breaking his custom, Jumped

Frank Nordell, husky Philadelphia boy

Then Nordell decided the pace was

Conger stayed back in third place, two

When the gun sounded for the final
lap. however, Conger called on his
famous finishing kick and went around
them as if they were tied to a post.
Nordell and Martin fought on grimly,
but the Illinois flyer finished five yards
in front. Nordell had a similar margin
over Martin.

n 7 EW YORK, January 29.-Maj
Ralph Sasse, coach of the Army
foot ball team, talked freely
here concerning the charge OF
recruiting at West Point made by the
Evening Bulletin of Providence in a
copyrighted article which involved him
He denied emphatically that he had
had any thought of proselyting or that
he had made any effort to get an
appointment for Kenneth Golf, the
Rhode Island State College foot ball
player He admitted frankly, however,
that he had helped Cadet Carroll get
the information he was seeking as to
ways of getting an appointment.
Mai. Sasse said: IT was on leave of
absence until January IL and on my
return to West Point Cadet Paul Car
roll, an assistant second-year foot ball
manager. came to me and told of the
desire of his former classmate at Rhode
Island State, a boy named Kenneth
G1ff, to get an appointment to the
Military Academy. 1 told him that 1t
was impossible for any one at the
Point to give any assistance and that
the only thing Golf could do was to
write to the Congressman of his own
district.
Tempest in Teapot.
II looked up the record for him and
found that there was no vacancy in
COTS district l then gave him the
names of several other Congressman in
Massachusetts, who would have va
cancies and might be willing to help
him.
IT have had absolutely no corre-
spondence with Golf, w. T. Wrightson
or any Congressman on this subject.
I did nothing 1 would not do for my
own son or any boy who was friend
of mine. That was my only connection
with the case and it looks to me as If
somebody had stirred up tempest
in teapot"
Mai. Philip B. Fleming, graduate
manager of athletics at West Point,
who came to this city with Maj. Sasse,
was equally emphatic again in deny
ing, as on Tuesday, the charges of
PROSECUTING. He said:
I'm my opinion it is decidedly far
fetched to suggest that we are recruit
ing in foot ball because one of our
cadets and a civilian member of the

Obtain West Point Appointment

| Army Athletic Association, over whom
we have no control, interest themselves
in getting an appointment for player
have made a careful investigation OF
the whole matter and find, as Mai
Sasse had said, that he helped Cadet
Carroll in getting the information
wanted about getting his former class
mate an appointment but the letters
, I have just seen indicate clearly that
the correspondence between the two
boys was perfectly natural and cannot
in any way be fairly construed as an
effort to proselyte.
'Wrightson has been a member of
the Army Athletic Association since
| 1920, when veterans we're permitted to
Join. His only connection with the
Army was during the war, when he
was private in the 73d Infantry
There are no officers at West Point who
knew Wrightson during his military
career.
When I interviewed Cadet Carroll
yesterday, he showed me letter he had
Just received from Golf, dated January
| 26, in which the boy again expressed
his desire to enter the Military Acad-
envy. believe the case resolves itself
into boyish enthusiasm and admiration
for his school, together with the efforts
of civilian to help a deserving boy
get a military education"
Letters Published.
AS follow-up of the charges made
on Tuesday, the Evening Bulletin of
Providence published today photo
static copies of letters from Cadet Car
roll to Golf containing what the former
said were Maj. Sasse's suggestions for
getting an appointment and an accom-
panying letter which Carroll said Mai
Sasse dictated for Golf to send to three
Congressman. The letter said, among
other things:
''Sasse was really interested in you
and very nice about it all. If we are
not successful with these Congressman.
I'm sure he'll try something else for U.S."
When shown this extract from the
letter, Maj. Sasse said:
That is just the enthusiasm of one
boy writing to another and assuming
that the help gave him in explaining
the ways of getting appointments meant
something beneath the surface. I never
so much as intimated that il Golf failed
to get an appointment from one of the
three Congressman suggested that I
would try something else to get him
to West Point
