ForUS Team

NEW YORK, Dec. 30. 0UH-The
American Olympic Committee, de-
termined TO send a team of full
strength to the Berlin games, today
was launched on a campaign to
raise the necessary 100000 to fl
nance the trip.
The campaign so far has been SER
iously hurt by the controversy over
participation in the games.
The committee, which met here
yesterday, also sought to gain
harmony i'm its own ranks. Resig-
nations of three members who
were opposed to participation were
accepted. The committee then de-
cided to query each member of the
committee not present, members
of the games committee, and all
sub committee members on wheth-
er they were behind participation.
Letters will ask for cooperation
or resignation.
The members whose designations
were accepted were Jeremiah T.
Mahoney, former A.A.U. president,
Charlotte Epstein, New York, wo-
mems swimming coach, ana LOUIS
Di Bendetto, New Orleans, whose
resolution ainst participation
brought on the strife at the A.A.U.
meeting.
Avery Brundage, president of the
A.O.C., said an effort would be
made to retire those who opposed
sending a team TO Berlin.

BY HENRY McLEMORE

CORAL GABLE, Fla, Dec. 30. WH
Unless it be golden wedding ami
VersarieS in Hollywood, I doubt if
there's anything as scarce as a per-
manent swimming record. The ink
never dries on a swimming record.
It is no sooner in the book than some
young man or some young woman
slips off his or her panties, jumps
into the water, and breaks it in
anywhere from a ripple to- a coun-
try block. Swimming record books
are filled with footnotes announc-
ing that the marks listed above
have since been broken and re-
broken.
7 fell to thinking along these
lines yesterday when / sat at the
edge of the Miami Biltmore pool
and watched young man by the
name of AdOlph KEEPER perform.
Adolph is but II years of age, and
is still dealing with improper
fractions in high school. Yet he
spIashed around in the water with
enough potency to break one world
and two American records.
This performance boosted Adolph's
world record holdings to an even II,
which becomes even more impress
siVe when you learn that there are
but IT backstroke marks in all the
world.
In short, Adolph holds all avail
able packstroke records. This appar-
emily is a very commendable feat,
for Adolph was no sooner out of the
water than he was surrounded by
dozens of backSlappers. To me, how
ever, it was bit sad. I felt like
walking over TO Adolph and saying:
MY boy, you we're very foolish TO
DreaK that 400 meter mark today.
Very foolish, inueed, for here you
stand at IT, dripping wet, and with
no more worlds to conquer. You've
got a perfectly beautiful backstroke
and nothing TO do with it.
/ think my reaction was sem
Sible one. You can't sell second
hand backstroke. OF course, he
can always pull off his pants and
break his own records, and that's
what / think ne intends TO do.
According to his trainer, a Mr..
Stanley Brauninger, who handles
the business of being very import
ant for the firm of Brauninger and
Kiefer, AdOlph is stiil some three
years shy of his full power. You
see, he isn't fully grown.

Davis Cup
Team Takes
SeeondPIaee

NEW YORK, Dec 80. UP)-The
New York Giants, who wilted in the
stretch for the second successive
year, were named today as the
greatest team disappointment of
1885.
OF 1876 sports editors who voted
i'm the United Press annual poll, 81
of them picked the Giants as the
years FLOP" team-the second
straight time the New Workers
have gained that distinction.
Close on the heels of the Giants,
with Sc votes, came the perennial
disappointment, Americas Davis
Cup team. The st. Louis Cardinals,
among the surprise teams of 1884,
took third place with Al votes.
The Chicago Cubs placed fourth
with four votes, all for their fail
ure to win the world series. Penn
sylvania's football team was next
with three votes. Ohio States
football team. the Cleveland In
dams and North Cardinals grid
iron machine received two votes
each.
Most votes cast for the Giants
stressed that the New Workers fail
ed in the stretch for the second time
and thus deserved to be ranked as
the years disappointment.
Those editors who picked the
Davis Cup team had little to say
except that its failure was an an
nual affair.
The Cardinals were given third
place for their late season col
lapse and failure to take the PEN
nant in a show down contest with
the Cubs after they had virtual
ly eliminated the Giants.
The following received one vote
each: Santa Clara's football team
for losing six of nine games; Notre
Dame for its loss to Northwestern
and tie with Army; Stanford for
its one point defeat by U.C.LA.;
Stanford for its loss to Alabama in
the Rose Bowl; Washington's foot
ball team; California for losing its
last game to Stanford; the Boston
Braves; the New York Yankees;
Boston Red Sox; Chicago Bears
professional football team, and
Princeton for not deserving its
hallowed ivy long enough to demon
strate if the Big Three actually does
have giant team"

With neither squad definitely

Strenuous training sessions were
to be run off this afternoon, with
light, tapering off exercises billed

OF all the players hurt in pre-
game practice sessions, the east
ern squad, coached by Dick Han
ley. formerly of Northwestern, and
Andy Kerr of Colgate, suffered the
injury most likely to keep a play
err out of the game.
In the casts camp, only Kelly
Cruice, left handed passer, was an
uncertain player. He suffered an
injured knee in scrimmage ses-
sion.
The west reported Russ Letlow,
University CT San Francisco line

STUDY MADE
ON POWER
DISTRIBUTION

In connection with the power
program adopted by the Imperial
Irrigation district board of direc-
tors which calls for the genera
ton and distribution by the dis
trict of all power from the All
American canal, a thorough study
has been made by the board of
publicly and privately owned pow
er plants throughout the country
The object of this study has been
to ascertain the benefits which
would come to the district through
the public distribution of this All
American canal power.
Bulletins on file at district head
quarters contain many interesting
facts concerning cities which have
become either entirely tax free
or have greatly reduced their in
debtedness through operation of
publicly owned utilities.
For example, profits from the
utility service of Tallahassee, Fla,
provide about one half the operat-
ing expenses CT the city govern
ment, according to one bulletin.
Another states that in 1888, Craw-
louisville, Ind, with a SC rate for
power, made a profit of $4,000 and
has a total of 1894 ,525 in the city
treasury, surplus profits from the
plant.

The afternoon passed and twilight
came into the sick rooms. Each
time she attended Jackie, he smiled
at her and she turned from him.

that DR.. Bob was listening. too.
