Controversy Is Brought to

l. site for 1895 Olympic Games
was in prospect today as
delegates from all parts of the
country convened for the meeting
of the American Olympic Assoc
citation at the Carlton Hotel.
Although word was received yesterday
from Germany reiterating pledges of
non discrimination against Jewish ath-
letes, it was expected that sentiment at
the meeting would be similar to that
expressed as opposed to Berlin as the
site in the National A. A. U. Convention
which ended yesterday in Pittsburgh.
Charles L. OrnsteIn, member Of the
Jewish Welfare Board and member
of A. A. u. Executive Board, is expected
to lead the fight against holding the
event in Berlin. Ornstein played a
prominent part in the resolution at
Pittsburgh by the A. A. o. threatening
to withdraw the United States unless
United States Jewish athletes were af-
forded full protection in the games.
The meeting, which opened at $50
o'clock this morning, Is scheduled to
last two days, but there is a distinct
possibility it will last longer in view
of the nature of the chief topic.
Relegated to a minor place on the
list of topics Is consideration of 16

HIITSBURGH, November a.
- The meter as the unit OF
measurement for running events
in track and field champion
ships is firmly intrenched In the
United States with the unanimous ap-
proval Of the annual convention OF the
Amateur Athletic Union.
It remains to be accepted by the
colleges, but If the sentiment of the
coaches attending the A. A. U. con-
vention are any indication such &C
ceptance will be forthcoming.
Not a college coach spoke against the
meter either in the meeting Of Track
and Field Committee or on the floor
Of the convention, and three Of them,
BreSnahan of Iowa and John Magee Of
Bowdoin, were among its strongest
supporters.
An amendment to the constitution
providing for return to the yardage
measurements for A. A. U. champion
ships was presented by the strong
Metropolitan and New England associa-
tions. but neither supported the pro-
posal at the convention. It was on
that amendment that the battle was
fought and won by the friends Of the

Triumph Over Georgetown
Prep Wins Metropolitan
Scholastic Title.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

| team today was looking
~ around for more worlds to
conquer. But none was ap-
parent, at least in this section.
The big Blue team yesterday
vanquished Georgetown Prep
class of the prep school elevens
hereabouts, 27-13, to win the met
ropolitan scholastic championship
In a slashing game that teemed
with drama.
A great fight was waged by the game
eleven from Garrett Park. coached by
Ted Gardner, former Georgetown grid
der, but the drive Of Frank Kocsis
and Central's other power house backs
was not to be denied in the second
half, when Coach Bert Coggins' charges
scored two more touchdowns to triumph
meanwhile holding the Prep team at
bay.
TINE fighting qualities of the f1ashy
team from nearby Maryland
we're tested at the outset. Cen
tral swept down the field 70 yards from
the opening kickoff to score touch
down. Kocsis, who chalked up three OF
his teams four touchdowns, stormed
across for the tally after he and Don
Dunlap had done most Of the ball
carrying.
Near the end of the quarter the
Garrett Parkers turned to their vaunted
air attack for the first time and it was
W
ing with q Clipped shoulder; Tom NC
Namara and Tom Keating participated
in a sparkling show that enabled the
visitors to gain the Central 7-yard line
before the end of the period. Then as
the second quarter got under way,
Keating shot to Nee for the touch
down. Keating heaved to Mcnamara
for the extra point. Having learned how
It felt to score against Central, the
Prepers lost no time In getting another
tally. McNamara tossed short pass to
Nee and the latter raced 80 yards be-
fore being brought down on the Cen
tral 2-yard stripe, from where Flana-
gan. substituting for Hedges. took II
across. A plunge for theA point failed
but GEORGETOWN Prep was ahead, 1877
the only time 1t held the lead.

I half was over TO tie the score
~ George King snagged a 10-yaro
pass from Kocsis and tore SIS yards
Kocsis' placement for the point failed:
Kocsis accounted for all Centrars Il
points in the second half that carried
the Blue to victory. In the third quar-.
ter he and King combined to push the
ball to the 14-yard line. Billy Richard,
son fumbled, but recovered on the 20.
yard stripe and Kocsis got loose at enc
for a touchdown shortly afterward. Tht
fourth touchdown came when Kocsis
plunged across to end a smashing march
down the field, during which he, Rich
ardson and King gained consistently.
Kocsis added the extra point aftel

stormed across for another.

Endorsed today by a slight ma

Evenly divided in their opinions In
the South, East and Middle West, the
balance in favor of the existing re-
strictions Is thrown into the scales by
the players of the Far Western grid
irons. In the combined Rocky Noun

tails Al to IS for the entire country

something to think about The Mid

and South 5 to 5.
Nearly all the players concede that
the old rules, permitting the defense to
gallop off with recovered fumbles or
allowing ball toters to keep going after
being knocked off their feet, would re-
turn many thrills to the game, but a
majority likewise stress the fairness. as

ALL ARMY BACKS
Won't Watch Buckler Close

NNAPOLIS, November 22.-

A NNAPOLIS, November o.
" The Navy will watch
n Buckler," as the local slo-
gan demands, but it will
not watch him to the exclusion OF
the other Army backs-Johnson,
Brown, Sebastian and Stancock.
In other years Navy has laid its
plans to stop other great Army
backs, only to have those who
were less noted and less feared
pile up yardage.
Therefore the coaches are stressing q
defense designed to take care OF any
offense the Army is likely to use. In
particular, the big forwards are being
urged to get the jump on the low
charging linemen of the West Pointers
and to break through and smear plays
before they can get away.
Back in 1924, for instance, the Navy
was keyed to stop Wilson, and did stop
him, only to have Gilmore, a little
known back, reel off the yardage and
Garbisch to drop-kick field goals. As
late as last year Vidal and Fields were
the feared backs, but this same Buckler
entered the game to make total Of
los yards, far more than any other
Army back.
