the Old Dominion. Hudson, whose four
baskets in a row pulled Virginia from

games, but he had accounted for ~

MARTINS GEO WIN

French Runner, in Victory

an Impressive Race.

~ PHILADELPHIA, February ia
- 3,000-mile ocean voyage and
two weeks of intensive training
on indoor tracks has been
crowned with success for Seraphin
Martin, leading middle distance runner
of France and holder of the world
record for 800 meters.
After a disappointing race in the
international half mile in the Millrose
games last Saturday, Martin showed a
return to form last night in winning the
classic Msadowbrook $50, feature event
of the annual indoor games at Phila-
delphia's arena.
The blue-shirted French runner, the
red insignia of the Stade Francois on
his chest, led Eddie Blake and DR.. Paul
Martin of Switzerland to the tape.
Blake was yards behind and the good
doctor was half lap back, in sixth
place.
The time of 1924 was the second
best ever made in the Meadowbrook
games.
The French automobile mechanics
performance served notice on American
speedsters that he must be reckoned
with in the rest of his American cam
paign, which closes late this month In
the national championships.
Ray Conger had to turn loose one
of his great last-lap finishes to win
the j. w. Overton memorial mile from
a stumpy-legged, fighting little runner
named c. Coan of the University of
PENNSYLVANIA. When Conger made his
bid with the bell Coan was right with
him and stayed there almost to the
finish. The time of 4:17:6 was con-
sidered good for the track.
The performances of Conger and
Martin featured meet which saw no
outstanding performance, although
Stella Walsh did tie her own record OF
So in winning the 40-yard dash. She
was far superior to any of her COM
petitors.
The touring track brigade moves on
to the Boston A. A. games Saturday
and the New York A. G. games In New
York Monday.

NO CHANGE LIKELY
IN ELI FOOT BALL
Coaching Plans Expected to
Stand, but There Will
Be Refinancing,
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, February 13.-Fail-
IN ure of the Yale Graduate Com
mittee to announce definite foot
ball coaching plans at the re-
cent meeting of the athletic association
does not mean, as has been surmised
that DR.. Marvin Stevens will not be
head coach for the season of 1881; nor
does it mean that the committeeman
are seriously at odds concerning the
foot ball system.
What has happened is that with the
limited total sum which, under the
terms of the Big Three agreement,
coaches at Yale may receive difficulty Is
being found in the matter of adjusting
salaries to changes in the duties OF
various members of the foot ball fac
ulty, as we'll as in covering the re-
Enumeration of such men as may be
added to the present staff.
DR.. Stevens will be head coach this
year, and it is expected that other
changes already announced will be con-
f1rmed at a meeting to be held within
a fortnight when all economic ques-
tons will have been ironed out. State
ments that the question of progressive
changes in the c0nQuct OF IooC Dal nave
been discussed among Harvard, Yale
and Princeton and that some announce
ment bearing on this may be expected
from the Yale Athletic Association at
its next meeting are regarded in re-
sponsible quarters as unfounded.
Whatever happens at the forthcom-
ing conference between DR.. G. w.
Kennedy of Princeton and Bill Bingham
of Harvard with regard to the restora-
ton of athletic relationship between
Harvard and Princeton-and much may
Ilappen-it may be set down as certain
that foot ball will not figure in any
important way.
Harvard has her gridiron plans ar
ranged for several years ahead and so
has Princeton, and neither Is in q po-
sition to arrange for the playing OF
a foot ball game at the time and under
the conditions which Princeton would
demand. In any case, restoration of
competitive games between the two old
universities would be in the early stages
and delicate as a newborn babe. Foot
ball, rugged and keen as the game is,
so conducive to ardent feeling in the
stands and on the field, is hardly in
dicated as an immediate factor in any
scheme of rivalry which DR.. Kennedy
and Mr.. Bingham might set afoot.

A MAN high in the athletic
Y councils of Georgetown Uni

made by Bill Foley, George
town track coach, that clique Of
few men control the track situation
at the Hilltop school and make his
job difficult.
Mike Kahoe and Kid Elberfeld,
coach and third baseman of the
Washington base ball team, respsc-
lively, have been giving candidates
for the Mckinley Tech nine few
pointers, and they say that the
Blacksmiths have some promising
material Clarence E. Hecox is di-
rector of base ball at Tech. Man
ager Walter Grigsby has arranged a
fine schedule for the Tech nine.
Members Of last seasons team avail
able include Morris and Colbert,
catchers; Offutt, Tew, Upton and
Austin, pitchers; Burley, second
baseman, and Echendorf, Swegler,
Lynch and Bennett, outflelders.
Prof. Joyce, Georgetown u. basket
ball coach, says that the poor show
ing of the Hilltoppers on the court
is due to the refusal of members of
the squad to turn out for practice in
the afternoons. He will not coach
the squad again next season unless
he is assured it will drill regularly,
he said.
