BAXTER MILE GUN
Fine Field Will Challenge
Cunningham, venzke in
A. A. U. Race Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, February 15.-The
nj Baxter mile, which carries
" more in the way Of history
a and prestige than any other
event Of the indoor track and field
season, is the magnet expected to
draw another capacity crowd of H.
900 to Madison Square Garden to-
night as Glenn Cunningham and
Gene Venzke renew their rivalry in
the New York Athletic Club games.
A number of other attractive events
are on the program, bringing together
again the big collection Of stars which
scattered to various midweek meets,
but the mile classic, oldest of its kind,
is the one big feature.
THE triumph of Joe Mangan and
Venzke over Cunningham two
weeks ago, followed by the Penn run
ner's defeat of Mangan at Boston last
week, has aroused fresh interest in
the mile. The fans had begun to tire
of the Kansan's regular victories be-
fore the string was broken. Mangan
is missing from today's field, due to
an attack of grippe.
In addition to this years rivalry,
there's the recorded fact that some
thing important usually happens in
the Baxter mile. In 1892 Venzke ran
1t in 4:l8 for a world record. Last
year Cunningham lowered the meet
mark to 4:09.8, and said he could
have run the last half even faster.
The Kansan is seeking his third tri-
umph and outright possession Of the
Baxter Trophy.
Other entries are Harry Williamson
Of North Carolina, who Is expected
to set a fast early pace; Glen Daw-
son OF Tulsa and Lou Burns, Manhat-
tan College. e.sophomore.

18TH WIN IN ROW
Battles at West Virginia To.
night After Whipping

Special Dispatch to The Star.

n 4 ORGANTOWN, w. Va, Feb
MI ruary 15-Consecutive VIC
W. tory No. 13 is the goal of the
= George Washington basket
ers, who are here for tonight'S game
with West Virginia after having rolled
up the highest score on Davis and
ElkinS ever registered on the latter's
floor at Elkins, W. Va.
Trailing by points at the half
last night, the Colonials rang the bell
in the last 20 minutes. for AZ points,
more than they had averaged in their
ii previous games, to whip the Scarlet
Hurricane for the second time this
season, 70-52.
Hopeful that their first experience
with West Virginia's Interpretation of
the rules might prove beneficial,
George Washington tonight meets a
five that decisively trounced Mary
land, but bowed to Georgetown on
successive nights.
Only the simultaneous functioning
of its terrible trinity" for the first
time in 10 games saved George WASH
ington last night. With Ben Gold
faden coming to life with 20 points
and Tom O'Brien and Hal Kiezel con-
tinuing their fast pace, the Colonials
overcame the handicaps of a different
type of officiating and an unfamiliar
floor to win going away.

May Change Schedule.

SCHEDULED for next Friday and
Saturday afternoons at Tech High,
a change in The Star tournament
schedule may be advisable, due to a
partial conflict with the Georgetown
Maryland contest Friday night. The
gym won't be available until pm. and
after that it will be necessary to install
bleachers for the college game.
Whether this job could b. done in the
time between the finish of the tourna-
ment first round and the start of the
Hoya Terp scrap is doubtful A check
is to be made today and if change in
the schedule is found advisable the
first two games of the tournament
will be played Thursday afternoon,
with the final on Saturday; or, if.
agreeable to the four teams involved,
the entire event may be run of on
Saturday afternoon and evening.
In the meantime an innovation for
the tournament is planned. Records are
being examined to determine the two
best high school girl teams in the
metropolitan area, and these will be
invited to play a preliminary to The
Star final.

Maryland is Favorite.

T INLESS the dope is all wrong,
Maryland's supporters should
leave the coliseum glorying in VIC
tories in both basket ball and boxing.
Victorious in 10 out of IA games,
and beaten only by quartet OF top
notch foes, Maryland's basket ball
team holds decided edge over c. us
in-and-out five, which has won only
7 out of 13 games. Too much of an
advantage cannot be ceded the Old
Liners, who annually receive one OF
their hardest tests from the Brook
landers who have knack of rising
to the heights against their neighbor-
ing foe.
Maryland's apparent superiority in
boxing is admitted, although Coach
Jack Harmony tonight is starting
three men for the first time against
the cadets from Lexington. Bob Slye
and Blair Smith will make their debutS
in the 1875 and 155 pound classes but
the third, Ed Fletcher, will win his
first sart without throwing a glove,
v. M. I. having no heavyweight to
oppose him.
In between these two feature at
fractions will be presented Maryland's
review of reviews, nearly every extra
curricula activity of the campus being
presented in a little more than two
hours. A special edition of the Dia-
mondback, student weekly. will be dis
tributed between the halves of the
basket ball game, giving the crowd a
detailed account of the events to fol-
low.

Slated for Removal.

BY the Associated Press.
M ADISON, Wis, February 15.-
M A formal recommendation,
wv reported by the Milwaukee
4 Sentinel to be dismissal of
the University Of Wisconsin athletic
departments two doctors, was ready
for delivery today to the Board of
Regents by the five-man commit
tee, which investigated Cardinal ath-
ietic troubles, first aired last December.
The Sentinel said it had learned
that DR.. Clarence w. Spears, foot ball
coach, and DR.. Walter z. Meanwell,
athletic director. would be asked to
leave not later than the end of the
college year
Indications of the action, the Senti-
mel said, were given In unofficial polls
of sentiment, which showed only two
regents favoring retention Of Spears,
and that none favored keeping Mean
we'll.
Strife Flares In December.
STRIFE between Meanwell and
- Spears burst forth last December
when John Golemgeske, foot ball cap
tain elect, said Meanwell had promised
him jobs and other favors if he would
ask squad members to petition for
Spears removal
In its inquiry the Regents Commit
tee learned. from admissions of
Spears and Meanwell:
That Meanwell gave liquor to two
players after a game last season.
That Spears came to Wisconsin
from Oregon with the hope of being
named athletic director. a job that
went to Meanwell instead.
That Meanwell had secret agree
ments allowing him to discharge
coaches arbitrarily.
Spears Successful Elsewhere.
A FTER % years as basket ball coach,
Meanwell became athletic direc-
tor in 1888. two years after Spears
came here from Oregon. Spears, an
all-American at Dartmouth, where
he later coached, turned out powerful
teams at Dartmouth, West Virginia,
Minnesota and Oregon.
Last year his team won one of five
conference games and none of three
non-conference games.
