INA. A. i. Fight
For Top Post
BY LEO FISCHER

HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 7.-Once
again all is serene on the A. A. U.
front.
The 1886 convention-not quits
as wordy, but almost as hectic as
that of last year-has gone into
sport history with jeremiah T.
Mahoney, of New York, returned
to the presidents chair. He won
the position yesterday to succeed
Avery Brundage after a spirited
contest with Patrick j. Walsh, OF
New York, in which delegates
divided almost as they did last
year on the Olympic question.
Mahoney was president a year
ago when the participation battle
was fought in New York, and re-
fused to permit his name to be
presented for reelection after he
had been defeated in his oppos1'
tion to the Olympic games. Yes"
terday's victory in many quarters
was considered Vindication OF
his stand last year.
The vote which elected Ma
honey was 1893 81 to 1877 47 and
was cast in wide open roll call
after a battle Of nearly three
hours on whether there should be
a secret ballot. Although at no
time in the previous history OF
the A. A. u, according to old TIM
ers, has there ever been any"
thing but a poll of the delegates
on elections, President Brundage
ruled that the word ballot" In
the constitution meant a secret
one and thereby precipitated a
parliamentary argument which
rivaled that of last year.
Fred Steers, of Chicago, and
Judge Frederick L. Hoffman, OF
Cincinnati, led the fight for the
secret ballot, but, when Presidents
Brundage was defeated on the
question, by vote Of 185 to 1855
it was apparent that Manoney
had the necessary strength to
carry the election.
With the presidency oeC1oeo
and Mahoney in the chair, the re-
mainder of his slate went over like
a well-oiled steam roller. The
other officers elected were Jack
Rafferty,, Houston. first vice presi"
dent; Charles Hunter, San Fran
cisco, second vice president; r. j.
Leonard, Schenectady, N. Y, third
vice president; A. Y. Russell
Omaha, fourth vice president.
Dan Ferris was reelected Secre'
tary treasurer and j. Lyman Bing-
ham again was named assistant to
the president, an amendment Civ
ing them both four-year terms.
The 1887 convention was award
ed to Boston. Miami was the only
other applicant.
Other matters taken up at tho
final session included adoption OF
an age limit for girls competing in
swimming, high diving, basketball,
track and field also at IS for dis
trict and local meets and 16 for
national championships. Low
board diving in which little Mary
Hoerger won the title two years
ago at the age of II, was not af-
fected by the new minimum.

Never before in its history did
the paradise of Southeastern

the Miami Herald's charity ball
was being held for the empty

the wee hours of the dawning Of

Of course, that the football rules
committee leaves the question OF
where the forward progress stops
within the discretion of the
referee. What actually happens
then is this: The college game is
officiated according to profes-
sional league rules, which say
that the ball is dead when the
man is definitely down, and the
whistle has blown.
Bill GuckeySon, flying back OF
University of Maryland, bid au re-
voir to college football on Saturday
in a losing game against Western
Maryland. Guckeyson played bril-
liantly at times, and his last
dancing, shifting run of 20 yards
or so was a thing of beauty. Five
men had shots at him, but he
trod the sunbeams it seemed in
evading them.
Awaits Appointment
Guckeyson is awaiting an ap-
pointment to United States Mill
tary Academy at west Point, and
intends, starting today, to take
special courses in mathematics re-
quired at Army. Bill said that he
was not eager to extend his foot
ball career, but he did want to be-
come an officer in the United
States Army.
Western Maryland unleashed
one burst Of scoring power in the
second period. Guckeyson punted
to the Terrors' 30-yard line, or
thereabout, and Western Mary
land marched right down the field,
a pass from Sadowski to Lassahn
spanning almost 80 yards. Lateral
passes and line bucks figured in
the advance, until Sadowski scored
from the 3 or 4-yard line.
A most unfortunate penalty
against Charley Ellinger on
charges of unnecessary roughness
led to Western Maryland's second
touchdown. Maryland men say
that Benjamin gave Ellinger the
works and Charley struck back.
The official saw only that Ellinger
is alleged to have done, and he
made his decision accordingly.
The Washington times., 1936-12-05


Santa Clara of the Pacific Coast,
Alabama and Louisiana of the
South were the major teams that
arrived at the end of the trail un-
defeated. Santa Clara was not
tied, both of the other teams were
tied once. Tennessee held Alabama
to a scoreleSs tie. Texas matched
the might of Louisiana State .
But Tennessee was twice beaten,
and four teams trimmed Texas.
Not a Saturday was complete
without its upsets. Georgia tied
Fordham after a defeat-marked
start. New York University, showed
under by Ohio State, played to
gasping standstill by George
town, turned to and defeated Ford
ham. Pitt, tied by Fordham and
defeated by Duquesne, received the
Rose Bowl bid; Duquesne was de-
feated by Detroit and West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan.
Northwestern, which stopped
Minnesota, was hammered down
by Notre Dame, which was beaten
by Navy and Pitt. It Is all very
confusing, and the farther one car
ries the examination of scores, the
more complex and battling it be-
comes.
No Boundaries
The season established to the
complete satisfaction of one and
all that there is no geographical
boundary for football greatness .
The schedules arranged for the
several teams answer the demand
of the public for real attractions,
but they practically preclude the
possibility of teams going through
the season with a perfect record.
Uncertainty was the only GER
tainty Of the year, and that held
through Saturdays game, eSpe-
cially in Los Angeles where South
ern California seized upon two
chances and scored touchdownS
which tied a stronger and perhaps
a better Notre Dame eleven.
Laurence Langley intercepted a
forward pass thrown by Bob Will
kie and ran the length Of the field
for a touchdown. Just before that
sensational develop ment t Bob
Bergman took lateral pass
from SCHNEIDER and raced so yards
or Whereabouts, for a score.
Notre Dame marched up and
down the field like the Kings
horses, and of course, the Kings
men, but for all Of their march.
ing, they got nothing better than
a tie, and had to come from be-
hind to get that.
LatteralS Raise Point
A point is raised by students of
football concerning lateral passes
when a player is in the grasp of
a tackler, as SCHNEIDER was, &C
cording to the stories. If the ball is
dead when its forward progress
ends, then fully so per cent Of
the lateral passes made in foot
ball today are illegal. Time and
time again a ball carrier will be
definitely stopped and borne back
ward, but will get rid of the ball,
and play will start all over again.
