sptcial Dispatch to The Star

Spt cial Dispatch to The Star
"HICAGO, July 22-There's
4 going to be considerable
fussing in the United States
Olympic Committee, once the
games at Berlin are finished. In the
interest of patriotism, disputes were
tabled for the past year or so, but
they will be picked up again this
Winter.
The Olympic Committee has some
idea of putting tax on A. A. U. and
college sports for the next four years,
in order TO provide a war chest for
the 1910 games and avoid the neces-
sity of last-minute begging for funds
necessary to transport our team to
TOXIC.
It's a fine idea and most athletic
leaders are avorable-but-th Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Association.
to which the majority of colleges be-
long, is likely to stand up in meet
ing and say: Taxation only in pro-
portion to representation on the Olym-
pic Committee The N. c. A. A.
has only four of the l3 memberships
on the Olympic Committee and be
lieves it is entitled to more and th-t
the A. A. U. no longer should have
control.
Colleges Have Strong Case.
THE N. c. A. A. makes a strong
point of the fact that colleges
supply most of the track and field
material for the Olympic team-and
track and field is the most important
feature of the international games.
In the 1884 games at Los Angeles,
every United States track and field
winner was a college product, except
Cornie Johnson, the high jumper,
who at that time was high school
student.
On the 1886 squad the majority are
collegians; many still undergraduates.
The A. A. U. has not produced top
notch track and field star in years;
it merely adopts the stars after they
have completed college.
There also will be a contest before
the 1910 games over Lawson Robert
son of Pennsylvania indefinitely con-
tinuing as head Olympic track and
field coach. There is nothing per"
sonal against Robertson, but there Is
a growing opinion that the honor
should be passed around. There are
numerous coaches in the country as
successful as the Pennsylvania man
and some of them would like the
opportunity to command an Olympic
squad.
Coercion Is Hinted.
COLLEGE leaders also have another
~ bone to pick with the A. A. U.
The story is told that A. A. U. officials
informed many of the college stars
that. unless they competed in its
national meet at Princeton, they
would be neatly excluded from the
several groups of United States ath-
letes which will barnstorm through
Europe after the games at Berlin.
There is no prejudice against the
A. A. U. meet, but the collegiate
leaders feel that any coercion was un-
fair and that some of the boys might
have done better at Randalls Island
had they skipped the Princeton meet.

I" tional ranking player from Chi
cago, was a week end visitor at Edge
moor Club last Saturday and Sunday
and drew quite gallery in his play
with Ralph McElyenny, Tom Markey

While the visitor had all the
earmarks Of a good tennis play

this observer, by any means out
class the local boys he met.
He has sound ground strokes, a
steady forehand, but no devastating

eenth best of the country. then some
of our leading players should be well
within the first 20.

DHERE will be no Army-Navy
Leech Cup matches this year
and a change in policy is ex-
i pected to result in the two
services meeting in their traditional
clash every two years, instead OF an
nually, as in the past.
That such biennial meetings will
produce better competition and greater
interest is tie thought behind this
years cancellation, although in light
of last years record breaking crowd at
Army-Navy Country Club, there Is
little justification for the latter reason.
Better competition seems to be the
real purpose of the new scheme, for it
was becoming a little wearisome to
spectators who have seen the Tars win
eight straight years-every time since
1925.
How the increased competition will
be forthcoming is seen when it is
realized that individual contestants on
both sides must pay their own ex-
penSes here, no matter in what part OF
the country they may happen to be.
Knowing that the matches
are to be held once every two
years instead of every IL months
is expected to entice the best
netmen of each service.
For the last couple years the Army
has been deprived of several of its
best players, who were too far away
to warrant their spending travelling
money for one afternoons play. That
applied particularly to Lieut.. Doll
Muehleisen. Army champion, who Is
located on the West Coast.
Given two years to save their pen
nies, more and more Of the better
players should look forward to coming
to the Nations Capital every other
wear.

Ewry does not claim that his jump
ing is definitely the cause of his lame
ness, and he certainly is no less inter-
ested in track now than in the days
when he was headliner. He officiates
at track meets every week end, and is
particularly interested in the high
jump and pole vault events.
He has been on the engineering staff
of the New York Board Of Water since
1912, shortly after he was graduated
from Purdue University. He learned
to jump while in high school at La
fayette, Ind. and competed on the
Purdue varsity team for six years, the

Wins in Big Field.

Turning to the task of preparing

made athletic history, Ed Hargaden
Georgetown's all-America basket ball
player of 1885, will become athletic
director and head coach of George

Hargaden was favored over more
than two dozen applicants who sought
the post left vacant by the resigna-
ton of Joe Gardner last May. He was
employed at the Federal Bureau OF In
vestigation after graduating from the
Hilltop in 1885 and last Winter was an
outstanding performer on the sleuths
crack basket ball team.
Following in Gardner's footsteps
Hargaden will coach foot ball, basket
ball and base ball at the school, which
has ideal facilities for athletics.

note and the excitement varied

ere the sixth period ended.
Burly Frank Frownfelder slapped
over two goals for the invaders in
the fourth stanza, but Erskine cut
down the lead with a quick placement
from scrimmage in the latter part
of the period. In the fifth the Ar
tillery defense tightened, but the Wis
itors also refused to yield until near
the end of the round, when Lieut..
Dick Weber looped high one
straight between the pylons. The
fifth stopped at 81.
Frownfelder complicated prospects
for the gunners by scoring again near
the start of the sixth, and his team
held its 81 lead until few seconds
before the bell, when Weber once more
smacked a good one that meant, in
