Arrowheads Win Again.
(By "Shammy" Somrock.)


The Ely Arrowheads annexed
another victory in the S. S. G. u.
league when they defeated Gilbert at
the range city, Sunday, by z to A
count.
The Arrowheads had to come from
behind to win the encounter, Gilbert
having obtained lead in the early
innings. Grahek, pitching for the 10
Gals, turned in his best performance
of the season and was easily the shin
ing light of the game. He allowed only
two hits both of them being made by
the first two men to face him. He
then settled down and didn't allow
another hit for the rest of the nine
innings and kept every ball hit in the
infield. He hung up his highest
strikeout record of the year, whiting
twenty batSmen Grahek also got
three hits, one of them being a nome
run in the sixth frame with two on
base which tied the score.
Gilbert scored twice in the first inn
ing on two hits and an error. They
got another run in the second and one
in the fourth.
Ely scored once in the second and
got three more in the sixth when Ora
hex hit for the circuit with two on
base. This tied the score at four all.
Ely scored once again in the seventh
on some smart baseball via a hit, sac
rifice, stolen base and fielder's choice.
Two more runs in the eighth frame on
solid hitting brought Ely's total to
seven.
Ely pounded out ten hits off NAL
overh. Banks, B. Madden and Ora
hex got eight of the ten hits.
Batteries: Ely-Grahek and Deyak;
Gilbert-N aloverh, Velacich and Ora

Yale Paper Scores
PaidC Grid Mentors
Suggests Plan Of Having Coach
to Develop Freshman Foot
ball Teams Only

New Haven, Jan. 9.-iP)-The Yale
Alumni Weekly, in an editorial pub
lished Thursday. urges abolition OF
paid football coaches except for fresh
men teams.
In football" the editorial says, "a
practicable plan would be to have the
freshman team under a competent,
salaried y%ear-round coach, attached
to the university who would develop
incoming material each year to go on
later to the upper class, inter-house
teams and into the varsity eleven.
Varsity football would be in the
sole hands of it's captain. The coach
ing would be under a field coach,
chosen from recent players and as
sisted by other returning graduates,
all unpaid.
Under such a scheme there would
be no occasion at all for a head coach
in the present meaning Of the term.
This is obviously the reverse of the
present arrangement but it would be
an entirely natural thing if the en-
phasis itself was reversed from foot
ball as a public spectacle to football
as under graduate sport.
"Such a plan. If right in its prem
ises, would come as a result of the
coming house development at Yale.
And such a plan obviously could not
be attempted by Yale alone. Amateur
athletics need to he matched against
amateur athletics so that Yale's ira
ditional rivals should join in"

The purpose of this offense is to

This offense calls for two big follow

and their job is to stay there as long
as their guards are with them; but
when the guards shift they break for
the basket.
The back guard controls the ball
most, and because of this he should
be a cool, heady general.

Harvey Favored
in Bout Friday
British Middleweight to Meet
Vince Dundee at Madison
Square Garden

New York, Jan. 9.-tFl-One OF Eng
lands finest fighting machines, Len
Harvey, makes his American debut
against Vince Dundee of Baltimore in
a 12-round bout in Madison Square
Garden Friday night.
Middleweight champion Of his ma
tive land, and with a string of some
$50 victories, Harvey ruled a 2-to-1
favorite over Dundee.
The strong betting support Harvey
has received is a result of the impress
sion he has made on experts while
in training.
Harvey's American invasion comes
at a time when the middleweight
throne is vacant. Not for many
months has Mickey Walker defended
his title. Instead he has been cam
paigning among the ~heavyweights.
The one-time TOY bulldog" has been
stripped of the title not only by the
National Boxing association but by
the New York and Pennsylvania state
athletic commissions as yell.
With the title open, Harvey has a
good chance to win it, for the division
boasts few outstanding fighters among
"home-breds."

Bismarck's Demon cagers will meet
their first opponent since the holiday
recess at jamestown when they tackle
the clever jamestown high school
quint Friday night.
Coach George Badly" Hays has
not definitely determined on his
starting lineup, but he probably will
use Captain Johnny Spriggs and Ed

Dale Brown at the guard berths.
It is assumed that he will take
Green and Leo Benser, and Bob Fin

Saturday night the Demons will
meet the Dickinson Midgets at the

O quint is more experienced this
season than the Demon squad, having
played a greater number OF contests
Coach Hays has pointed his team
toward tournament play. His often-
sive gradually is increasing in effec-
tiveness, and his defense is growing
stronger. At the rate Hays is de-
yeloping his team they should be IN
the peak Of form by the time the
state tournament starts.
The Capital City aggregation shows

tenders for the state title. The De-
mons have been undefeated so far

Actual possibilities for the Demon

SPORT PRESIDENT
CRATIFIED AT 1890 RECORDS
Brundage Believes Interest Is
Growing in Olympic Ath-
Ietic Games
BY AVERY BRUNDAGE
President Amateur Athletic Union

Chicago, Jan. 9.-RHAmateur sport
each year gains q 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 sports have thrived
as never before. This applies not only
to the schools and colleges but also
to industrial organizations, play
grounds, athletic clubs both large and
small. fraternal orders, and other
groups.
Records are Broken
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 9 2-5 seconds. Paul Jessup's. re-
markable discus throw of 169 feet 87s
inches, and James De MerS' javelin
throw record of 222 feet 6N inches.
Men were not alone in the record
breaking. At the women's national
championships at Dallas, Tex, five
worlds records were broken, and per-
haps 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 1~7-year-old girl
erased all the records for standard
distances from 100 yards to one mile,
inclusive.
Field Meets Gain Favor Y
One of the most interesting sporting
events Of the. year was the inter-
national track and field games held
in Chicago last August between the
combined athletic forces of 10 coun-
tries representing the British empire
and a team of American champions.
This was the first large track meet
ever held outdoors at night. The
Americans defeated the invaders and
reaffirmed their supremacy on track
and field, although our performances
on the track were not nearly SO salts
factory as they might have been.
Interest in amateur boxing, wrest-
ling, basketball, handball, gymnastics,
weight-lifting ond the other sports
under the jurisdiction Of the Amateur
Athletic union is growing in a most
healthy fashion, and with the stimu-
lus provided by the proximity of the
tenth Olympic games, scheduled for
Los Angeles in 1882, we can reason
ably expect the coming year to be the
greatest thus far in the history Of
American sport.
