not obliged to try hard to make clean
sweep Of all five events in his division,
won the intermediate title.
Young Richard Beard of Minneap-
oils finished the day with the Junior
championship in his possession. He
was given stiff competition by Robert
Sherman of Chicago.

hard as flint, and there were numerous
spills on the turns The condition Of
the ice and the wind held down speed,
and no records were shattered in two
days Of skating.

foot ball on November "a

Formal announcement of the
game probably will come late to-
day following a conference be-
tween representatives of the two
universities. A formal statement
from the Maryland Athletic
Board also is expected shortly
after it gets together early this
evening.
This is the first time Georgetown
and Maryland have scheduled a foot
ball game since 1906, when Georgetown
won, 20 to o. In fact, in the few
contests In which the two institutions
have met over long period victories
for Maryland have been few and far

has been in a position to compete with
the Blue and Gray with even chances.
It Is the intention at Maryland to
have the game as part of big pro-
gram for that day in celebration OF
the third century of the States found
ing. Georgetown, one of the Nations S
Oldest institutions. is linked in so many
ways with Colonial Maryland that

IN connection with the game.

THE SAGA OF OLD KING COLE.

THE SAGA OF KING CULE.
This is the saga OF Old King Cole
Who called for his pipe and called for his bowl
In the locker room at the nineteenth hole.
Each day he'd describe each particular shot
All the puts he missed that he should have not
All the terrible luck that befell his lot
There were the cuppy lies he'd land,
There the heel prints in the sand
There were the caddies that he panned
There was the putt that jumped the cup
Just when he should have been up,
Leaving him sorer than pup.
There the hook and there was the slice,
There was the outerbounds-yes, twice
There the ponds drab sacrifice.
Colt stung the King like poisoned bee
From the very first green to the eighteenth tee,
As he hacked around in a 103.
Why" asked, while the bowl was red
Don't you try some other game instead?'
II like the nineteenth hole" he said

GENE SEEN READY
T0PRESS HIS RIVAL
Back in Form of Two Years
Ago, venzke Turns in Fine
Effort at Boston.
By HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, January o.
M Gene Venzke's back in
/ Y form, all milers, and espe-
cially Glenn Cunningham,
take note.
The slim Pottstown, Pa, middle
distance star, who discovered In
Cunningham a nemesis of the
first order last year, signalized
his return to top form at Boston
Saturday night when he GAL
loped of with the K. of c. mile
Of the Prout Memorial games.
His stride as smooth as silk, sprint
ing with all that famous kick" that
made him feared far and wide two
years ago, his Judgment of pace fault
less again, Venzke outdistanced a crack
field and gave Cunningham advance
warning what to expect when the two
hook up in the Wanamaker mile Of
the Millrose A. A. games in Madison
Square Garden Saturday night
Venzke's time, 4:20, was not par
ticularly impressive when compared
with his own indoor standard of 4:10,
but that could be explained by an ON
ciaps mistake in signaling for the final
lap when In reality two laps remained.
The error threw the whole field into
confusion and the Penn star merely
loped home to win by 80 yards from
Joe Mangan of Cornell with Glen
Dawson Of Tulsa third and Frank
Crowley Of Manhattan fourth These
three, with Venzke and Cunningham
will make up the field IN the Wana-
maker mile.
Gene Flashes Fine Form.
DUT for the mistake in the lap count
n Venzke might have shaded 4:l5,
which on the smaller, more Sc
verely cut turns of the Boston Garden
track, is the equivalent of 4:12 or 50
in the New York Garden. There Is
no possible doubt but that Venzke has
rounded into grand condition and that
Cunningham, the Kansas flyer who Is
rated by some experts as the greatest
miller In the world, will need to be at
his best to win.
Aside from Venzke's performance, the
Boston meet was noteworthy principal
ly for the defeat of Joe McCluskey

the Prout Memorial 600 in l:l54, beat

Bates and Bernie McCaf1erty, formerly
Of Holy Cross. Sander was denied a
place in the Millrose 600, although both
Adams and McClafferty will run, along
with Ivan Fuoua of Indiana and Glen
