no one can win a world ski title
 The reason for this, the federa- tion explains, is that no two hills in the world are similarly dimen- stoned, and with hills and weather so completely unstandardized there can be no just comparison of marks made at different places and at different times.
 Olympic Title Most Valid
 The Secretary of the National Ski association, Harold A. Grinden of Dubuque, Ia., says the closest the skiing powers ever come to a worlds championship is in the Olympic games, which come, of course, only once in four years.
 The International Ski champion ships, held annually, could be termed the great championship, he points out, yet the best of the worlds skiers do not compete, so it cannot be considered truly world wide.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. g. Annual epidemics of stunt pictures have reduced the feat of holding basketball pendent in one hand to the status of "old stuff" for the average cage fan. But
 Until you've seen our Ay-dolph do it, you haven't seen any one handed basketballingl' Marquette university fans boast, with consid- erable justification.
 Ay-dolph, who is nick-named Big Mitts" and last-named Cory chka, can palm that ball like prob ably no other player in major col lege basketball.
 Hundreds of players in recent years have learned the prick of holding the ball enchanted by sharply bending the wrist to press the ball against the forearm. But Adolph-he just picks it up as the average man would grasp a cro- quet ball.
 A senior and co-captain of the giant Marquette quintet, the six foot, 200-pound Gorychka this win ter has been astounding and en- tertaining fans, friend and foe, along Marquette's victory trail, with his fancy ball-handling.
 He can hold the ball almost as easily with his left as his right mitt, and in a game he baffles op- ponents by waving the bah in their face with either hand, holding it behind him or high over his head, usually ending up with deceptive Pickering pass to teammate- and sonnet times even they are caught off guard by his deceptive ness.

Stanford Football Teams
Front Guard at Bowl
for Workout.
By United Press

~ Jnited PfeSs
PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 26.-Ala-
bama's Crimson Tide is making a
deep impression on Westerners.
One football expert went so far
today as to say that the Southern
team which meets Stanford New
Years Day in the Rose Bowl will
be one of the three best that ever
performed there. The coast author
ity rated as its closest rivals the 1925
Notre Dame team that included the
-Four Horsemen" and the 1882
Southern California squad that
trounced Tulane.
Other experts, more wary in their
observations, agreed that Stanford
will have to be at peak to Subdue
the Alabamans.
Virtually every member of the
Southerners' varsity is being
stamped as a standout. Francis, Lee,
Hutson and Mari in the forward
wall and Smith, Howell and Dem
yanovich in the back field have been
impressive in the drills the team
has held since its arrival here.
Yesterdays workout was restricted
to light exercises but Coach Frank
Thomas is considering adding more
steam today to work off a few
pounds the squad added on it's
cross country trip.
The vanguard of the Stanford
squad arrived yesterday in tow of
Ernie Nevers and Murray Cuddle-
back. They planned a light drill this
afternoon. The main body arrives
tomorrow.

the Indianapolis League race centers

CoOkmen have won Al games and
lost but seven, giving them a ten

closely pressed by the Gregory &
Appels for that berth. The Fox
team has won 81 and lost II, while
the Gregorys, with one series I'M
decided because of a postponement,
have won % games against 16
losses. Won and lost records of
other teams follow: Marmon- Her.

and you can see the reason:
Dear Mr.. Whitney, read with
interest the letter in your column
with a cure for ar-chasing. May
I say that several years ago the
same hint was passed on to me
with much assurance Of success. I
am breeder of Scotch terriers and
happened to have around at the
time a very bold and daring sort of
chap by the name of Sandy. Sandy'S
weakness was car chasing and he
seemed the perfect subject for the
experiment.
I carried out instructions very
carefully and the family turned out
TO witness Sandy's downfall. Alas
for our hopes, when he began to
run and found the stick impeding
his progress he, with some effort
it is true, clamped his teeth on the
stick and ran with it in his mouth
after the car.
The only difference the stick
made was that Sandy was unable
to give his usual barking accom-
paniment to the situation. I really
should have known that a Scotty
usually finds a way out of any sit
uation.
Hoping that other readers of
your very helpful column get better
results from this cure than I did,
I am sincerely, j. L. B., Pa.
