CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The Chi

In Rome, the young Fascists
are advised by the publication.
"Gioventu FaScista" to read
sports pages and books about
aviatorS, sailors, explorers and
to eSchew accounts of Holly
wood divorces and stories
about gangsters and the night
life of Paris.
Fascist Italy must re-
nOunce absolutely all frivolous
things" the editors declare.
All of which is by way of
emphasizing the healthful
mental and moral influence of
sports and publications devoted
thereto.
American boys and girls and
young men and women and
grown-ups too, who have ex-
cess energies over and that
of their daily studies or en-
ployment. find a. healthy out
let for such energies in the
abundance of sports available
in our community.
If more of them would look
for this relaxation, there
would, we believe. be fewer
gangsters, fewer divorces and
less so called night life.

COCHRAN FACES
LAST HURDLE

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Little
Johnny Layton, of Sedalia, Mo-,
stood today as the last hope of
the three-cushion followers to re-
pulse the balkline threat of Wei
ker Cochran, the San Francisco
star who is headed for the world
three-cushion billiard champion
ship.
Layton must whip Cochran to-
night in the final match of the
tournament in order to tie for
first place. Then he must whip
the Pacific Coast wizard again
in the playoff to keep the crown
in three-cuShion territory.
Playing a smart game, Coch-
ran last night overwhelmed Jay
Bozeman, of Vallejo, Cal, in the
Semifinal match. The score was
so to 40 in 40 innings. Boze-
man won the break. ran seven
and sat down. But Cochran ran
five, three, two, one, none, two,
none, two, three, one, to take a
1919 lead, and Bozeman paled.
But Bozeman crept up on his fel,
low Californian to take a 28-to-
q lead in the twenty-first.
Then Cochran began getting
good breaks and he finally drove
to a 37-to-35 lead. Bozeman
tied it, but Cochran dealt the
finishing blow with runs Of
eight and four, which made it
40 to 38.

Sports Deficit
At Princeton
Is 100000

PRINCETON, N. j., Feb. 3.
Figures released here today by the
Princeton University Athletic AS
sociation show the school suffered
a deficit of nearly 100000 for the
year ending June 80, 1882.
But like Yale and Harvard, the
other schools of the Big Three, -
Princeton will not make any dras'
tic sports curtailment or abandon
ment for the coming season.
Last years football earned only
$84,762.48, as compared to $20l,.
339.O4 in 1930-31, and $259,574.61
in 1929'30.
ITHACA, N. Y, Feb. 3 GNS0
Although Cornell had adopted a
"cash-and-carry" system in ath-
letics, university authorities an
nounced today all coaches had
been retained, both for major and
minor sports. Every coach is un-
derstood to have been subjected
to a salary cut.
Gilmour Dobie, football coach,
and James Wray, rowing mentor,
are the only coaches under con-
tract. Their terms expire in 1887
and 1885, respectively.
