vanquished Western, % to "a.
A spectacular goal by Sis Esenstad
from the extreme side Of the court,
one of a series OF similar tosses which
he pulled during the battling, gave
Business It's winning margin. A mo-
ment later Everett Russell Gagged floor
goal, but it developed that Oficial
Scorer w. Dewey Haight already had
just previously pulled the gun that re-
fused to fire.
With Business freezing the ball and
Tech using the zone defense system,
there was virtually nothing dong in
the first quarter, which enoed to l.
In the second quarter Business opened
up and Tech gained 1877 lead at half
time. Business, however, had fought
its way to v'Ahin point at the end
of the third quarter at 2l-2o The
final quarter saw the lead constantly
alternating with Esenstad finally COM
ing through with his all-important
shot.
There was plenty to be excited about
in the Central Western game, too. Gen.
tral was ahead, is to 10, at the half
after Leading, to at the end of the
first quarter, but western fought to an
1918 tie at the end Of the third period

crack forward, came through with two
court goals and Keyser with foul shot.

NEWSBURGH, N. Y, January g.
Eighteen of the country's finest speed
skaters will seek places on the 1882
Olymic team in the final trials to-
morrow at Lake Chadwick, near here
The program, exactly duplicating
the Olympic schedule, calls for COM
petition at 500 meters, $500 meters
5000 meters and 10000 meters.
The Olympic Committee is expected
to pick the first rwo men in each even;
for the Olympic team.
Lack of ice, however threatened tc
cause serious trouble with the tryout
program. Ice conditions were so bad
yesterday that 1t was said only very
severe weather" today and tonight
would fit the Lake Chadwick course
for the trials. No other place near
here was any better and it seemed
proable that it would be necessary to
delay the selection of the team.

CHAMPIONS BRACE
FOR 1882 CONTEST
Add Pitching and Batting
Strength-GiantS, Cubs
Are Improved.
BY tire Associated Press.

BY tire Associated Press.
" IEW YORK, January g.
N Though both the New York
Y Giants and Chicago Cubs
promise to be somewhat
stronger than last season, when
they ran second and third in the
National League, it is difficult 70
see anything but a third straight
pennant for Gabby Streets st.
Louis Cardinals.
The world champions apparently
have braced themselves well in prepa-
ration for the 1882 grind. They gave
up Burleigh Grimes, pitching hero OF
the last world series, but they could
afford it.
They received in exchange slugging
outfelder. Hack Wilson, and they
reached out and brought up three SEN
sational pitching prospects to I'LL in
for Grimes. II Dizzy" Dean, Tex"
Carleton and Ray Starr are half the
hurlers they appear TO be, and If VIII
son does a comeback with his war club,
the Red Birds will be hard to head of.
Giants VIII De improved.
There seems to be little doubt the
Giants will be an improved team. Jim
Mooney and Sam Gibson look valuable
additions to McGraw's mound staff, and
Leonard Koenecke, .354 hitter from
Indianapolis is expected to add power
to the outf1eld.
Just how greatly Chicago benefited
by the deal that brought Grimes In
{r,e 4H he
seen. Manager Rogers Hornsby fig
ures that Burleigh will add the balance
of power his pitching staff needed.
Hornsby also has been given an ex-
pensive set Of recruits to work with, OF
whom Stanley Hack and Harry Taylor,
inflelderS, appear the most promising.
Brooklyn, with a new manager in
Max Carey and a fine looking lot Of
recruits from its Hartford farm, is ex-
pected to make a better race. The
Dodgers still are trying to land Hack
Wilson, but are said to be unwilling to
part with either Babe Herman or
Dazzy Vance to get him. =,
Braves Infield Changed.
Bill McKechnie has made a drastic
change IN the infield OF his Boston
Braves, who fell apart after making a
great start last season. He drafted Art
Shires, leading hitter of the American
Association, TO play first base and
bought Fritz Knothe from Seattle to
hold down third. Oscar Eckhardt, who
led the Coast League batters with a
mark of $50, was acquired TO add
punch to the outfeld.
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Gin
cinnati appear to have added little
real strength. Except for a new man.
ager, George Gibson, the Pirates show
practically no changes.

can be determined, cut of $23, 900
in salary for him, as he popularly is
supposed to have drawn $50 500 from
the Cubs last year.
The deadlock created by the
spurned contract almost surely will
be broken by the disposal of VIII
son by the Cardinals to some other
National League Club - perhaps
Brooklyn. The fact that Max Carey
stopped off at Hacks West Virginia
home on his way TO Florida the
other day would seem to lend Gre
dence to the report that the sawed
off colossus will open the season In
a Brooklyn uniform, as Carey
scarcely would have gone out of his

POWERFUL TROJAN
TEAM TO COMPETE
Two Fine High Jumpers on
Squad-Stanford Speeds
Its Track Work.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

A w y -
Having been awarded every
- thing emblematical of the
1881 foot ball championship,
Southern California University
now turns its attention to another
titular group-the Trojan track
team, holder of the I. c. A. A.
A. A. and national intercollegiate
honors.
Coach Dean Cromwell has virtu-
ally ali of his 1881 champions at
work on the Southern California
track and has high hopes of his
squad winning not only the two
big collegiate championships next
Spring, but also starring in the
Olympic games.
| Cromwell is particularly keen on big
Bob Hall in the weight events. Hall
finished his foot ball career on New
Year day and came through the long
gridiron season with no injuries. Last
year Hall, who is a TALL rangy type, was
badly bruised In the foot ball campaign
and it was not until late in the Spring
that his right arm regained its full
strength With any sort of luck, Crom-
we'll believes Hall will be the outstand-
ing shotputter of the season.
Trojans Have Jumpers.
The Trojans this year will have two
star high jumpers. The veteran Jim
title but will be obliged to do his best
to head off Henry Lassalete, sopho-
more. LaSsalete has done six feet four
and three-quarters inches and is show
ing fine form in the early workouts.
Frank Wykoff is as brilliant as ever
in the sprints and Barber, Graber and
Woessner are off to good start in
training. Wykoff is assured of good
competition during the training season,
for George Simpson, the Ohio State star,
Is running as a member Of the Los
Angeles A. c., and Charlie Paddock also
Is attempting comeback for the
Olympic games. Simpson recently re-
turned from a tour of the Antipodes
and his races there indicate he has lost
none of his speed.
Stanford may be handicapped in It's
track work dus to the continued illness
of Coach r. L. Templeton. 'Dink' has
been confined to his home for several
weeks and it may be two months be-
fore he can resume charge of the Card
inal runners.
Assistants Garry On.
In the meantime his assistants are
handling the squad, but they are not
the developers of youngsters that
Templeton has proved to be. Ben East
man, Ike Hables and Laborde are the
stars of the Stanford team and it will
do well in the sprints, quarter mile and
weights
California is talking of little but the
Olympiad now that foot ball Is finished,
and the Coliseum, that seats los, 900
has been closed for all activities until
the international games in August. The
huge bowl will afford splendid vision
for the spectators and the track will be
worked regularly until time for the
games.
Dean Cromwell told the writer he
expects great performance from
Orville Martin, the former Purdue star,
in the half-mile and mile runs Martin
Is running for the Los Angeles A. G,
and already is in top-notch form. Crom-
well is of the opinion that Martin will
be point winner for the United States
in his specialties and that his work will
assist in retaining the international
championship.

THE report has been handed about

Opulence and the best type of fight
ing spirit rarely travel together
There's nothing like hunger to put the

Dempsey never reached the ferocity
Of Toledo later on in his career. al
though he came close to it in the Firpo
carnival, where, as Jack remarked
later, 1T was case Of kill or being

And at Toledo he was worth about

perate Mickey Walker, looking for
some protection for his future, might
easily be q different problem.
In criticizing the selection of Barry
Wood at the all-America post Of quar-
terback, deep-browed observer writes
ITO show how crazy you are, If Wood
had played against Notre Dame ne
wouldn't have lasted three minutes"
Just how does this statement stand
up against the facts in the case? 1t
so happens that Wood played against
the Army team close to its peak. He
also played so minutes, did most OF
the work and took battering and a
shellacking all afternoon.
And when he finished" remarked
Ralph Sasse, the Army coach, "tt didn't
seem to me he was even breathing
hard"
And this was the same Army team
that handed Notre Dame its worst de-
feat and gave Marchy Schwartz the
heaviest pounding this star back had
ever known. Yet, we are told Wood
couldn't have lasted three minutes
against Notre Dame. II might be added
that the letter came from the West
Coast, not South Bend.
1t is understood that new telescopes
