Life OF Count Orsi
One of Johnny's old playmates
tells us that Johnny Count Orsi.
captain of the Colgate eleven who
was very much in the running for
All-America end, started playing
football when he was so small that
a suit couldn't be found to fit him.
1t was back in 1922 when John
ny, about II years old and fresh
man, trotted out on the field to
report as candidate for the team
at Columbia high school, South
Orange, N. ]. He was trailing in
the footsteps of his older brother,
Til, a boy who is considerably
shorter than the foot inch
JOHNNY now, but then was several
inches taller and great deal
heavier.

meet in a three-game basket ball series
for Prince Georges County laurels

BY AVERY BRUNDAGE,

President Amateur Athletic Union
~HICAGO, January (R).-Ama-
teur sport each year gains a
more important place In our
scheme of things here in the
United States.
The year 1880, despite the condition
of business In general, has proved no
exception, and during the past IL
months amateur sport has thrived as
never before. This applies not only to
the schools and colleges, but also to in
dustrial organizations, Fairgrounds, ath-
letic clubs, both large and small; fra
ternal orders and other groups.
Many Record Performances.
During the year many stellar per-
formances were recorded. In track and
field alone the Amateur Athletic Union
accepted II new world and national
records, some of the most noteworthy
being Frank Wykoff's 100-yard record
Of rs seconds Paul JeSsup's remark
able discus throw of 1859 feet S7s inches
and James De Mer's javelin throw rec
ord of 222 feet 63h inches.
Men were not alone in the record
breaking. At the wonen'S national
championships at Dallas, Tex, five
world records were broken, and perhaps
the most remarkable individual athletic
performance of the year was that Of
Helene Madison of Seattle. In one
week at the A. A. u. outdoor swimming
championships at Long Beach, Calf. :,
this 17-year-old girl erased all the rec
ords for standard distances from 100
yards to / mile, inclusive.
One of the most interesting sporting
events of the year was the international
track and field games held in Chicago
last August between the combined ath-
letic forces of 10 countries representing
the British Empire and team of Amer
lean champions This was the first
large track meet ever held outdoors at

amateur Sport Had Greatest
Year in 1880, Says Brundage

night The Americans defeated the in
vaders and reaf1rmed their supremacy
on track and field, although our per-
formancesl on. the track were not nearly
so satisfactory as they might have been.
Interest in amateur boxing, wrestling,
basket ball, hand ball, gymnastics,
weight lifting and the other sports un-
der the jurisdiction of the Amateur
Athletic Union is growing in a most
healthy fashion, and with the stimulus
provided by the proximity of the tenth
Olympic games, scheduled for Los An
geleS in 1882, we can reasonably ex-
pect the coming year to be the greatest
thus far in the history of American
sport.
The inauguration of the Sullivan
Memorial Award by the Amateur Ath-
letic Union and the selection Of Bobby
Jones from more than $50 nominees
as the amateur whose ability and
character combined have had the great
est influence during the year in adj
vancing the standards of sportsman
that the medal that goes with this
award will become one of the most
highly priced trophies in the United
States.
Invitations for American athletes to
compete abroad during 1881 have been
received from New Zealand. South
Africa, Japan and Ireland, and next
Fall will find many of Americas ath-
letic ambassadors again building up
good will and spreading the gospel Of
good craftsmanship throughout the
world.
The year 1880 witnessed the cement
ing of friendly relations between all the
major organizations of this country
promoting amateur sport, and 1881 will
fiT1d them cooperating oT1io1ely
together toward a common end-the
uplift and development of sports and
games.
