The general admission section
usually not offered for sale until
the day Of the meet-was put on
the market Tuesday and today
tickets are as scarce as house flies
in Little America.
Three of the greatest milers this
country has ever seen at one time
Glenn Cunningham of Kansas
university, Gene Venzke of Penn
and Bill Bonthron Of Princeton-are
the reason why track meets will be
added to the other sports that have
smashed attendance marks in the
place that is becoming known as
the fightleSs-fight-club
Record is 4:1O
The race is a natural, and would
jam an arena twice, yes, three times
the size Of the Garden. Venzke
holds the indoor record Of 4:10 set
exactly two years ago in these same
games. Cunningham came out of
the west last year and ran Gene
ragged in most Of their races. Bon
thron is the lad who paced Jack
Lovelock at Princeton in the latter'S
4:07.6 mile outdoors, and who, in
cidentally, ran the second fastest
mile in history as he trailed the
New Zealander in 4:08.7.
AS the experts who know about
such things figure it, Saturdays
race will develop into a tWo-man
duel between Cunningham and Bon
thron, neither of whom have faced
each other indoors. Venzke, trimmed
by almost twenty yards by Cunning
ham two weeks ago in the Millrose
games, is rated to act as nothing
more than another entry; a pace
setter.
Coach Tells Plan
Between Cunningham and Bon
thron there is little to choose. The
Kansan has run under Ala consist
emily, without much competition.
Bonthron has the ability to do bet
ter outdoors. Indoors, at the mile,
he has yet to show his stuff.
With such a pair matching strides,
predictions are being made freely
that Venzke's record will be shat
tered. Lawson Robertson, the Penn
sylvanian'S coach, has other ideas.
Cunningham and Bonthron eX-
pect Venzke to set the early pace"
he says, But Gene isn't going to
run that kind of a race. Consequent
ly, they'll be running against each
other, not against time"
Maybe so. Anyway, it's a race
worth seeing and this dyed-in-the-
wool volley ball prepayment will de-
Sert his backyard court long enough
Saturday night to attend.

Hockey Benefit
Brings $4,000

By United Press
TORONTO, Feb. 5-The Toronto
Maple Leafs have proved that a
well-organized hockey team can
beat the greatest collection of stars
ever assembled.
Playing against the N. H. L. all
star team last night in a benefit
given for Irwin (Ace) Bailey, the
Leafs took a 7-3 victory.
A crowd of 14,074 paid $4,000 .04,
all of which will go to Bailey, who
probably is through as an active
player as a result Of injuries re-
ceived while playing for the Leafs
in a game last Dec. II in Boston.

chance of seeing a good game.
Early in the season I had an oppor-
tunity of seeing q team from out west
of the city play one of our city schools.
This teams possibilities impressed me so
that 1 have watched them quite closely
and have attended a majority of their
games. The team l have in min is Ben
Davis. This team has, I believe, the
best material in this section, including
Tech or Shortridge. But something is
lacking. Just what it is 1 don't know
but its possibilities would make any
coach proud.
1 saw the final game of the country
tournament. Just what was wrong it is
hard to figure out, perhaps just an of
night as any team will have, but l am
thoroughly convinced the better team
did not win the tournament.
1 saw them play French Lick, and
win 81 to %. French Lick, by the way,
is no small team, as it holds victories
over some of the larger teams in the
state.
Watch them in the sectional, and I'M
less 1 am badly off judgment, or they
get stage fright. which I understand is
one of their weaknesses, they will make
any team sit up and take notice.

F, R. Will YIELD

Only Amendment Opposed
Is 5-Member Board For
Stabilizing Fund

WASHINGTON. Jan. "a. CUP
President Roosevelt is prepared tc
Weld if necessary. to demands OF
some senators that his new gold
program be placed on an emer'
gency basis with time limitation
it was learned today.
The president is opposed, how
ever, to the change written IN
yesterday by the senate banking
and currency committee whereby
the proposed S2,000,000,000 sta,
bilization fund would be super
vised by a board of five members
Majority Leader Robinson on
leaving the White House today
said this feature was considered
wholly obnoxious and impracti-
cable"
AS a result of the presidents
attitude it appeared probable that
control of the fund would be re-
turned to the secretary of treas
ury, as in the bill passed by the
house last Saturday.
Senate debate on the dollar de-
valuation bill was scheduled to
open today with indications that
the bill in its final form would be
suitable to Mr.. Roosevelt.
The administrations opposition
to the committee amendment call
ing for diversified supervision over
the sterilization fund is based on
the element of secrecy regarded
as vital part of the funds OPP
Grafton.
With the fund controlled by d
board of five this necessary Sc
crecy would be jeopardized. it is
felt. Since any intimations of the
boards purposes would defeat its
detectives, particularly in the light
of the broad international field OF
operations to stabilize the value OF
the dollar. the administration is
DESTROYS that this part of the bill
be put back to its original form.
The committee amendment lin,

Mr.. Roosevelt would be willing,
it was understood, to have this
amendment go through as written
by the committee if sufficient
pressure develops for it on the
senate floor. The president was
represented in informed quarters
