eMiIeRunnerS
Vie in Mi||rose
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Feb. 6 QN.SO.
Five of the great mile runners
this greatest of all generations
has produced will! break from the
post tonight for one of the really
tremendous moments of track
ard field history. The occasion
vii; be the annual Wanamaker
mile at the Millrose games and
tie field will be Glenn Cunning
ham, Don Lash, Gene Venzke,
Archie San Romani and Charley
Fenske, of Wisconsin. 1t hardly
seems possible that they can miss
Cunningham's world indoor rec
ord, 4:08 4-10, that is and provid-
ing Lash puts on his customary
show.
Last Saturday, Lash ran crazy
at Boston for 3:06 at three-quart-
ers; then folded and Cunningham
came on from 80 yards back to
win in All 9-10 for track record.
VenZke almost caught Lash that
time, both doing Alb. San Romani,
winner over Cunningham and the
Olympic champion, Lovelock, of
New Zealand, at the Princeton
games. wasn't ready at Boston and
probably isn't yet.
But the great drama of tonight S
race is that every man in it has
done Ali or better. Mikolos Szabo,
of Hungary, was to have started,
but withdrew owing to illness. He
won't be missed. In fact, he can't.
1t will be the first time since
the metric mile" in the Olympic
games that a field so good has
met under conditions so perfect
so yards of straightaWayS and
turns banked high against the
crowd, Sell-out at $4,000. The
sharp turns and the "lap-distance"
at Boston didn't stop this field
from taking the track record apart.
Tonight, with an estimated diff
ference of four seconds in the two
tracks, it would seem that the field
can't miss a world record.
Meanwhile, John Woodruff, the
Olympic 800-metre champion, will
come on from Pittsburgh to try
the 600-yard distance against
Charley Beetham. Ohio State; Ed
die O'Brien, Syracuse, and the
Boston winner, Jim Herbert. N. Y.
U. 1t will be Woodruff's first ap-
pearance since Berlin and, for my
part, all he has to do is break in
front and stay there. He probably
won't.
This Beetham will run the legs
off anybody who doesn't know the
first thing about indoor jockeying
and the assumption is that Wood
ruff doesn't and won't.

Coaches Discuss
Grid Rule

DETROIT, Feb. 6.-Between 25
and 80 of the Nations leading foot
ball coaches carried their pet rec
concentrations to the rules com
mittee meeting of the National
Football Coaches Association here
today.
There was little prospect any i'm
portant changes would be sug-
gested.
Wen do a lot of talking"
confessed Coach Charlie Bach
man, of Michigan State, "but
the coaches won't make any rec
concentrations for rule changes.
The less we tinker with the rules
the better it is going to be for
everybody"
Gus Dorais, of the University of
Detroit, said chief aim of the con-
ference would "unquestionably be
to simplify and clarity what rules
we have"
Coach Gil Dobie came here from
Boston College to declare:
THE pass interference rule is
my chief quarrel. We've got to
give the fellow on defense a
break. l tell my boys on de-
fense to go after that football.
When a ball is sailing through
the air they've got just as much
right to go after it as the of
fensive man. / hope coaches can
come to a better understanding
on this rule"
He said several games in 1886
were won or lost on pass interfer-
enCe decisions.
The conference, over which
Coach Harry Kipke of the Univer-
Sity of Michigan presided, will ad-
journ at 7 o'clock tonight.

munity Center Basketball League
is one of the best organized
leagues in the District.
The success of this organiza-
ton goes to one man-Harry
Pete" English, blond, blue-eyed,
diminutive athletic director of all
the community centers in Wash
ington.
Without English the league
would be just another league.
Harry is a go-getter of the highest
type. He will spend hours and
hours interpreting the rules with
the various managers of the
league, and will don a uniform
and demonstrate some OF his
ideas. His sound judgment, keen
knowledge of the game, and his
pleasing personality makes him
one of the bestliked athletic Of
ficials in town.
English does not employ an
arbitratory board. He settles all
disputes himself.
Teaches History
Athletic director of the Com
munity Center is not the only re-
Sponsibilitv on Harry'S broad
shoulders. He teaches history
and helps coach basketball, base
ball and football at Friends
School.
English will personally select
the gold awards that The Wash

Senate Beer, composed of for.
mer au-high aces, is leading the
league with three victories and no
defeats. However, local cage en-
thuSiasts are not selecting the
Beer aggregation to win the flag.
They are picking the powerful Bu-
reau of Investigation outfit, which
holds second place with two tri-
umphs and no losses. The G-men
boast a remarkable record in out
side competition.
Two Games Tonight
Tonight two games are on tap
at Tech High School. Jewish Com

in the league, but who are liable
to break loose any time with

Catholic University hits the

match marks the first of the sea.

ringmen, who are expected to Of,
fer serious opposition to the Cardi.
nal team.
Pittsburgh arrived in Washing.
ton last night and at noon today
weighed in along with the Catho.
lie U. team at the C. U. gym. A
full lineup of smart-looking inter.
collegiate battlers were in the
squad.
Pitt Lineup Strong
That the Cards will be hard
pressed to win the match can be
attested by the fact that no less
than six of the eight Pitt boxers
are sophomores who are supposed
to have cut quite a swath in anna
teur ring circles in Pittsburgh the
last few years.
Outstanding Of the group are

weight, who is regarded by Pitts
burgh sports writers as one of the
finest college ring prospects to
don gloves since the sport was es-
tablished at Pitt. Lupinacci will
probably line up against either Ed
Dunno or Capt. Ferdinand Rogers,
of the Cardinal team.
The two veterans of the Pan.
ther corps are John Stronko who
will meet Freddy Mix in the 145-
pound assignment. and Capt.
Cleon Linderman, who will battle
with Joe Bunsa in the 155-pound
exhibition.
A bit of Rose Bowl flavor has
been added to the contest to-
night, with AL IIezouski. regular
right guard of Jock Sutherland'S
football team, listed to represent
the Panthers in the heavyweight
assignment.
Versatile Athlete
Lezouski, a sophomore, started
in the grid game against the
University of Washington at Pasar
dena last New Year Day and
proved himself one of the most
versatile linemen to show in the
drubbing that Sutherland'S crew
meted out to the Huskies Of
Washington. Lezouski will meet
a Cardinal football player in Leo
Katalinas, and this particular
match may prove to be the fea.
ture of the entire show.
Although Catholic UniverSity'S
mittmen are in the throeS Of
semester examinations, Coach
Eddie La Fond has been able to
hold several stiff workouts, in
Guiding some sparring with the
University of Toledo boxing team
last Thursday. The entire team
is in good physical condition and
should be much better physically
than it was against the Army
last week, when serious attacks OF
la grippe completely ruined the
chances of the team.
