BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. At Is q long
Jump from wellington, Colo. (popu-
lation $3.50 to ivied oxford, slumber-
ing by the placid Thames, for Byron
Raymond White, the beau ideal of
football players.
The Whizzer sailed aboard the S.
S. Europa at midnight for England
and his Rhodes scholarship, 'even
Stephen" with football after a four
month detour through the playing
fields of the National Professional
Football League. He is, he says,
through with big-time football, but
it's too early to know how much he'll
miss it.

1888. Il had a lot of fun, but I did

most Of the $4,000 the Pittsburgh
Pirates gave me for the past season,

Owes Debt to Football.
There wasn't any truth to the re-
ports he would come back in the fall
for another try at the pro game.
Gosh, not that know of. They're
always sending me somewhere or
having me do something else in the
papers. But I guess I'm through.
Ill never be able to repay football
for the things it has done for me,
but have to get to work.
The Whizzer is as assured, as
friendly and as straightforward as
when he came to New York last
winter with his Colorado basket ball
team and the country was going
bug-eyed over his choice between
football and Rhodes scholarship.

"They were nice about that at OK
ford" said Whizzer. Maybe I
learned a lot out of the season too.
They hit hard In that league and
you learn a lot. Although I guess a
struggling lawyer won't have to
know much about running inside
tackle, will he?"
Hard? I guess it is hard. It's
the coming game, too. I don't think
it'll ever push the college game out
too many people interested in that
but it'll be right beside it. In a
couple of years that league of ours
will be one of the biggest things in
sports. Say, I sound like a pro-
moter."
He paused as tug hooted lone
somely in the river, rested his big
hands on a trunk and smiled. But

indianapolis Lassie
Held Sure 10 Make
Olympic Team
Storts Record Attack
With New American
Time for 200 Yards
BY the Associated Press.

Fy the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 4.-Blue-
eyed. 12-year-old Patty Aspinall of
indianapolis, just at the age when
most girls still are playing with
dolls or beginning to have "chushes"
OH boys, is Americas youngest SWIM
rling record holder.
And while most of her friends
are out playing or are slipping down
to neighborhood movie. Patty can
be found practicing at the Indian
apolis Athletic Club swimming pool.
For most 12-year- -olds-particu-
larly girls-the Olympic games are
just something they hear older per-
sons talking about. But not for
Patty.
A trip to Finland in 1910 as
member of the United States Olym-
pic swimming team will be "okay"
in the words of the youthful Hoos-
ier swimmer.
Smashes American Mark.
1t was November 26 that Patty
swan the 200-yard breaststroke
event in the Purdue University pool
in 1854, clipping six-tenths of
second off the previous American
record that had stood since 1882.
Her new mark was recognized by the
Amateur Athletic Union.
Patty, quiet youngster who does
not have very much to say when
there are only strangers around,
can be found at the Athletic Club
pool every day except Sunday. Four
days week she practices for an
hour and half The other days
she practices for As minutes.
Has Time to Play.
That doesn't seem to give her
much time for play. coming in addi-
ton to her school work, but she
answers that with II amange to
have plenty Of time"
Her school work doesn't suffer
either because she is rated as an
excellent pupil. She's in the seventh
grade
Swimming is just "play" to most
youngsters of her age but it's seri-
Gus business to Patty and it has
been for three years.
About a year ago she started
working on one of the most difficult
and tiring strokes in swimming
the flying breast stroke" or "but-
terfy." The ''Wimpy," she calls it.
Old style breast strokers kept their
arms under water all the time,
swimming much the same as frog
does. With the flying stroke, how
ever, the arms are lifted out of the
water at the completion of the down
pull and swung out in front of the
head for another downward pull.
Just Rides the Waves.
When Patty goes into that stroke,
her arms flying out in the air. she
looks something like duck Tapping
its wings to take off from the sur
face of the water. The kick also
enters into this stroke and the SWIM
mer literally rides" the top of the
water with the arms, head and
shoulders out of the water much Of
the time
That's Patty's speciality. She swims
a quarter of mile daily using the
"Wimpy"
Dick Papenguth, Patty's coach, is
convinced she is a definite con-
tender for place on the 1910 Olym-
pic team and he goes even further:
I'll predict she breaks every
breast stroke record in the book this
year"

Basket Come 20 Score
May Be Low Here

Possibly a new low-scoring record
for basket ball games was estab-
lished last night during the open
ing of the Arlington County Boys
Club League, when the Bon Air
Midgets defeated Falls Church, 20.
The game, along. with five others,
was played in the Washington-Lee
High School gym.
Ballston Boys Club, which was
represented by three teams, was
victorious in every instance. Its
Midgets defeated Lyon Village, H-9;
its Juniors also defeated a Lyon
Village quint, 25-11, and its Seniors
nipped Bancroft. 1911. Other games
found the Falls Church Juniors
trouncing Bon Air. 40-13, and the
Bon Air Seniors whipping the Vir-

Two District college basket ball
teams resume action for the 1889

the entire first month Of the new

every one Of the half dozen attrac-
tive games at home, two are sched-

Maryland's four Southern Confer

current months schedule from being
complete bust for local fans.

Wiemon Looking for Men
Up-to-Dute in Come
To Do Needed Job

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Returning
to his Office from the coaches con-
vention in Chicago, Tad Wieman
of Princeton is settling down to an
intensive month Of studying scout
ing possibilities, with view to de-
vising the most comprehensive and
precise system of espionage that
has obtained at Old Nassau since
the palmy days Of Bill Roper.
Princeton's varsity coaching staff
of four men has precluded the or
ganization of such a system of OBJ
servation as has obtained at Yale
and Harvard and other major coll
leges, whose watchmen cover all i'm
portant rivals from the first game
of the season until it is time to
meet them.
'The trouble about scouting" says
Tad, "is that this game of foot
ball has changed in so many re-
spects, in offense and in defense,
that any old grad who has been out

"On my list of graduated players,

many men very advantageously Sit
uated with respect to scouting i'm

their playing days lie back in the
past, and my problem is to find
scouts of recent vintage, preferably
those who played under Fritz Cris-
Ter.
IT hope to dig them up. AS a mat
ter of fact, I expect to; but it will
take some searching. One thing is
certain, I intend to do everything in
my power to give Princeton a more
comprehensive and more efficient
scouting service than the univer-
sity has known since I first came

Anyway, we're still a little
warped from trying to pat our
selves on the back and kick our
selves simultaneously for picking
two out of four, which is one
under par on our course.
Seriously, we take our hats off
to the Tennessee Vols. Any team
which can beat Oklahoma at its
own game, and do it so thor
oughly, must have it. The
Sooners' best ball carrier was the
referee, who gained 100 yards for
them, but he also gained 80 for
the Vols to even it up some. From
all reports the game was rougher
than a detour.
The bowl games as a whole
produced the usual quorum of
heroes, but nary q goat, although

threatened to assume that role.
Spangler fumbled in trying to
field a punt in the shadows of the
Duke goal, and U. S. G. recovered
on the 10, which is like having
the bases full and none down.
It was then that the Dukes
showed why they were able to go
through their regular season un-
scored upon, for they retired the
side without a run.
AS Doyle Nave and AL Kruger,
the U. S. c. battery which scored
the winning touchdown, were
hailed as heroes, Tony Ruffa was
shunted into the background, al
though were it not for the U. s. G.
score, he would be the man Of

which put Duke into tho lead.

OF course, Oklahoma must
have missed the train, or been
