tinction of turning in the
outstanding individual achieve
ment in sports for 1881, in the
overwhelming opinion of Ameri-
can sports writer's and editors.
With the same sort of speed
that marked his sensational solo
dight against the Athletics in the
world series, the young St. Louis
Cardinal outfielder romped away
with the votes in a Nation wide
poll conducted by the Associated
Press.
Martin was singled out as the indi-
vidual star of the year by 68 experts
out of total of 1l2. This was slightly
more than SO per cent, giving Pepper
a clear majority over all other can
dldateS combined
Ouimet Runs Second.
Although they were outdistanced,
Francis Ouimet. the veteran who re-
turned to amateur golfing heights after
II years, and Ellsworth Vines, 19-year-
old national tennis king, ran a close
race for second place. Ouimet finally
won by the narrow margin Of II votes
to 10 for the California sensation.
Here are the results of the Associated
Press poll:
Pepper Martin, ST. Louis Cardi-
mails, So.
Francis Ouimet, national amateur
golf champion. H.
Ellsworth Vines, national amateur
tennis champion, 10.
Lefty Grove, leading American League
pitcher. g.
Billie Burke, national open golf
champion T.

and record holder g.

The recognition for what one sports
editor described as Martins unprece-
dented, spectacular and record breaking
play in the world series" furnished strik-
ing proof of how the youngsters per-
formance stirred the enthusiasm of the
Nations sporting experts. The Cardinal
stars personal batting and base-runnine
exploits, which had the world champion
Athletics completely up in the air for
flve games, possessed every element of
sporting drama
BY the half dozen who selected Lefty
Grove for the No. individual perform
ance OF the year, instead of Martin it
was pointed out that the southpaw
stars ability was tested over a full sea-
son. Similarly those who rated Vines at
the top of the list emphasized the bril-
lance it required to capture IA tennis
tournaments at the age of 10.

1ree-style official Women's swimming
records Helene Madison was fully en-

struggle of determination being
waged along an extended front.
In its strongest salient. foot ball rail-
lied with increased gate receipts for the
Rose Bowl game, after retreating slight
ly before the campaign to put camera
men and news reel historians into the
stands. No longer can the college hero
pause en- route to touchdown and
have his picture taken on the Sideline.
A charge, led by the Wisconsin legis-
lative corps, was launched with the
capture of some elusive facts on foot
bail finances as its designated objective.
This movement was the chief develop
ment in the Midwest campaign, but
rumors of concessions looking to an
armistice were seen in the reported in
tervieW with Burt IngWersen. chief of
staff of the foot ball brigade in charge
of operations He intimated that his
army would give ground on the kickoff
matter, and that interference with the
passer would also be subject to increased
penalty.
Unrelated as it was, expert observers
saw in the athletic directors decision to
teach golf to the student body, as a re-
suit of a strong poll by the students
of Norwich University. a tendency
which may eventually be felt along the
foot ball front.
Foot balls most important advance
was registered by the Navy wing. when
announcement was made that the
Graduates Association will seek to in

Naval Academy. The weight average at
Annapolis is to be boosted.

TTHE ferretS who are active in the
i great Midwinter sport of inveSti-
eating foot ball have many times
run across the situation where a col

through his course. Long before the
Il will share" signs appeared, alumni
of almost every college in the land had
shown their love of alma mater by
easing the road for deserving young
friends, and the movement Is nothing
more or less than a big brother enter
prise.
In the cases where the beneficiaries
happen to be more interested in test
tubes and text books than foot balls
and base balls, the system Is easily
justifiable But in the present on
slaught on proselyting and overem-
phasis in foot ball, even this time
honored philanthrophy is condemned.
The campus officials of many univer-
stiles, especially those in urban CEN
