n YEW YORK, December 81
mi College athletic heads and
i \ coaches, here for the an
nual meetings Of the Ma
tional Collegiate A. A. and related
organizations, already have set
one new record, although their
first formal session was not slated
until today.
In the opinion of veteran
observers, a new all-time low in
the matter Of "viewers-with-
alarm" seemed assured. Conven-
ton programs were conspicuous
for their singular lack of subjects
likely to provide controversial
discussion.
AS in the past, foot ball was the chief
item Of college sport listed for ex-
haustive examination. But even here
there seemed to be no outstanding
problems, certainly none so serious as
last year, when q death toll of so
forced revision of the rules in the
interest of safety.
Despite the fact that the 1882 cam
paign brought with it 43 deaths at
tributed, directly or indirectly to foot
ball, the new rules, it generally Is
agreed, have made the game safer for
the players. So satisfactorily has the
code worked, in fact, that few, If any,
changes are contemplated for the 1883
season.
GONE argument may develop over
~ the dead -ball' rule which makes
the ball dead" when any part
of the carriers body except his hands
or feet touches the ground, but even
this provision seems to have the back
ing of majority opinion.
The most important single item of
business on the N. c. A. A. program
Is the selection of a new chairman of
the Foot Ball Rules Committee to sue
seed the late E. K. Hall. Most promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the pest have been William S. Lang
ford, secretary of the committee for
quarter century: Walter Okeson. COM
missioner of Eastern officials. and Amos
Alonzo Stagg, retiring head coach at
Chicago.
Preceding the N. C. A. A. sessions
Thursday and Friday will be the meet
ing of the American Foot Ball Coaches
Association today and tomorrow. The
coaches probably will discuss the rules,
but there is considerable doubt whether
any recommendations for changes will
be made. They will ask, it was gen.
orally believed, for voting representa-
ticn on the Rules Committee. At pres
ent they hold only advisory member
ships on the committee. Dan McGugin,
Vanderbilt coach, was expected to sue
as president.

Green Bay Packers Only Able to
Defeat Light and Youthful
Opponents, 19 to Is.

HONOLULU, December ~ The
/ / Green Bay Packers, professional
foot ball team from the Wisconsin
city, defeated fighting band Of prep
school players calling themselves the
Kamehameha Alumni, 19 to 13, yester-
day after Kamahameha ended the first
half leading, to 6.
Outweighed nearly 80 pounds to the
man, the Honolulu team, composed of
virtually all the diverse races of the
Islands, slipped through the heavy
Packer line with spanking attack that
sparklcd into the final minutes of the
game, when they completed three
passes for an 8O-yard march downfield
to their second touchdown.
The Packers were able to score only
by passing. Two of their scores came
through aerial plays, and an intercepted
Kamehameha pass netted the final
touchdown.
Led by the 15o-pound part-Hawaiian
high school halfback, Danny Wise, the
local team scored on the first play tried.
They held the Packers for downs on
the Kamehameha 20-yard line when
the game was three minutes old Then
Wise whizzed a 55-yard pass that Kerr
took on the dead run for touchdown.

the National Leagues 1882 bat
ting championship by the proverbial
mile, it was his teanmate, John Henry
Frederick, and Young Charles Herbert
Klein of Philadelphia who really showed
the boys how to paste the pellet.
Frederick, who did most of his work
as pinch hitter, created complete
upheaval in the records for that kind of
different pinches. The old major league
record was three, held by Hamilton
Hyatt of the 1918 Pittsburgh Pirates,
Fred Williams Of the 1923 Phillies, and
Clifford Crawford of the 1927 New
York Giants.
Klein's batting average Of .348 was
good only for third place, 20 points be-
hind ODoul and two behind Bill Terry,
the Giants clouting manager, but he
drove his hits to all corners of the lot
to mop up the seasons long-hitting
honors and then, just to show his YER
satility, captured the leagues base
stealing honorS with 20 theftS.
IN four full seasons in the majors,
i Klein never has made fewer than
100 runs and 200 hits and only
once did he fail to make his blows
good for more than 400 bases. His total
base mark of 420 for 1882 enabled him
to equal the major league record set
by Lou Gehrig of reaching that level
in three seasons.

hits. 226, first place; total bases, 420
first place; doubles, SO, second place;
triples, Is, third place; home runs, SO,
tie for first.
One of the few hitters to lead Klein
in any department, Paul Waner of
Pittsburgh, set a new league record for
doubles as he hit 62 to lead for the
year and displace Klein's 1880 mark
of SO. Babe Herman of Cincinnati
with 19 triples and Gus Suhr of Pitts
burgh with l6 also managed to finish
ahead of the Philadelphia while Mel
OFT of the Giants shared the home-run
lead. Terry gave Klein a close race in
the hit column, finishing one behind.
IN addition to winning the batting
i championship with his 1868 mark
19 points above the 1881 titular level
when Terry Chick Hafey and Jim Bot
t0mley OF the ST. Louis Cardinals fin
ished in virtual tie, O'Doul made the
greatest number of singles 158. .Hughey
Critz of the Giants had the most times
at bat. $50. and Dick Bartell of Phila-
delphia topped the sacrifice column
with 35.
Terry added to the record list by hit
ting six homers in four consecutive
games during April, tying the major
league mark held by Klein, Babe Ruth
Of the Yankees and Ken Williams of
the Browns.

batting records as the PhillieS finished

spectacular.
Fire years have passed since that pioneering
flight across the Atlantic, and he is as great
national hero and world figure as ever. He has

records and blazing new airways.

very successful one. He always came in at
the appointed time and place
One night, while his ship was winging its way
across the country, he started to think about
transatlantic flights. Riding high above the
world while sleepy villages blinked their lights
under his ship, he started to wonder how it
would seem to have an ocean for a floor.
He decided that man who charted his route
carefully and had reliable plane would be
safe. All he would have to do would be to stay
awake and keep flying.
1 INDY had met plenty of dangers. During
l. his early days in the air he had done ex-
hibition flying He few around the country
selling thrills-parachute jumping, wing walk

chute to save his life four times.
Indy grew up wanting to fly. When other
youngsters were playing ball and wondering
how good you had to be to make the big time,
he wondering what his chances were in the
air. When he was 20 he decided that he would
make aviation the main objective in his life.
He was already enrolled as flying student
with the Nebraska Aircraft Corporation. But
he was studying at the University of Wisconsin
at the same time. He closed his textbooks and
began to concentrate on aeronautics.
Lindy. as it happened, was the only student
at the flying school at the time. He spent a
great deal of time roaming around the factory,
learning the mechanics Of his profession.
Within few months he was ready to solo
but he couldn't. bond was required by the
president Of the company in order to protect

something to make up for the loss.
Lindy had no doubt at all that he could take

up q ship of his own, but he was quite agile at
walking around in the air.
A FTER while he soloed. He soon became
very proficient And he ended in the air
mail service which was the place that he most
wanted to be.
Then he decided that he would risk the
transatlantic flight That was in August OF
1925.
In December he went down to New York and
gathered data on the pioneering venture. He
didn't intend to fly blind. He wanted to get
where he was going.
The Spirit of st. Louis the ship In which the
fight was made, was ordered in February, 1927.
In May Indy Climbed into the cockpit at San

for Roosevelt Field, New York. When he ar
rived he told the surprised officials that he was
leaving for Paris IN day or two. Flying over,
he said.
Almost before they could find their breath he
was gone.

When he got back home from Latin America
he took up his commercial contacts again. He
became technical advisor to the Transconu-
mental Air Transport between New York and
Los Angeles. and then held the same position
with the Pan-American Anyways. He made
surveys in the air, laid out new paths for the
ships. He went down to Latin America and
helped map their routes too.
