Atherton 10 Uphold
Athletic Integrity
Of Coast Loop
Former G-Mon Will Rule
All Pacific College
Sports Three Years
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-Dedi-
Gated to a policy of unquestioned
integrity and strict enforcement Of
the rules, the Pacific Coast Confer
ence of 10 colleges and universities
fell in step today behind a new
leader of its athletic administra-
tion-former G-Man Edwin N. Ath-
erton.
Appointment of Atherton, Gov
ernment employe for II years, three
of them as an agent of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, climaxed a
four-day session which saw the con-
ference stripped down to the bone,
its faults and evils exposed and
new order of operation installed.
His tenure of three years will be
effective as of January l. 1910. Dur
ing that period he will be the en-
forcement officer of the organiza-
tion-armed with an authority never
before given to an individual in its
25-year history. The 10 faculty rep
resentatives will interpret and pass
on his future findings.
Enlistment of Atherton's services
followed his two-year probe of the
athletics setup, its wigwagging, un-
dercover and outright violations Of
the existing code. AS result of the
findings, authorized at an approxi-
mate final cost of $4,000, the or
ganization already is in the process
Of being remodeled from the
ground up.
New legislation has been adopted,
and some regulations strengthened.
Most of the violations brought to
light were associated with football
such as recruiting, misuse of off,
campus finances, abuse of scholar
ships and subsidization of the ath-
leteS.
The conference liberalized one
section of its code. It agreed that
athletes working on legitimate jobs
would be paid when absent for such
reasons as injuries, illness and
necessary absence on athletic trips"

BY ROBERT MYERS,

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-The
finest field in the 15-year-old his
tory Of the Los Angeles open golf
tournament swung into the second
round today, with Wilford Wehrle,
Wisconsin-born amateur, leading
the way after a spectacular per-
formance in the first 18 holes.
The 25-year-old golfer. who calls
Chicago home now, turned in 81
yesterday. 3 under par for the Los
Angeles Country Club, and was hard
pressed to keep the lead against a
formidable array of the Nation S
outstanding professionals and the
champion Of his own amateur di-
vision, Marvin (Bud) Ward of Spo-
kane. Wash.
Only three players were able to
break par over the course yester-
day-Whirlin' Wehrle, Dutch Har-
rison and Jimmy Hines, and only
two. big Olin Dutra of Los Angeles
and AL Kruger. Beloit, Wis, were
able to equal par 10.

But that was the opening day
and the second rounu of this big
event Of CALIFORNIA; winter series
was another matter. Whether
Wehrle, who won the Western
amateur championship on this same
course in 1887 and who turned in an
easy performance yesterday, can
keep up his work was something an
enthusiastic gallery wanted to know
Notable, however, was the fact
that seven strokes back was select
group that numbered the tourna-
ment favorite, National Open Cham
pion Byron Nelson; former National
Open Champion Ralph GuldahI,
National Amateur Champion Bud
Ward and the defending L. A. title
holder. Jimmy Demaret.
Listed in the same circle, or sand
wiched in between the leaders 81
and "A, were golfers like Dick Metz,
Paul Runyan, Horton Smith, Clay
ton Heafner of Charlotte, N. c.;
Craig Wood, Ben Hogan, Lawson
Little, Jimmy Thomson, Denny
Shute, as we'll as Dutra, Harrison,
Hines and others.
Wehrle Wins Crowd.
It was a tough day for the big
name players, but the unusually
large opening day turnout of 5000
gave the young man from the
Middle West a great ovation when
he holed out with a beautiful 10
foot putt. Many in the crowd re-
membered the finish he put on
when he defeated his fellow towns
man, Ray Billows. on the same
green for the Western amateur
crown-a 40-foot putt that curved
down of the edge OF the apron for
the stroke that gave him the cham
pionship.
A quiet, unassuming player, Wehrle
blushed at the applause and hurried
away.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Jan. 6.-Uni-

hand against Rhode Island State in
free-scoring game on the armory
court last night but couldn't match
the Rams pair of aces and was
beaten, 59-43.
The aces were "Stutz" Modzelew-

43 points through the hoop. Shoot
ing from every angle, Modzelewski
scored 10 field goals and a brace of
fouls, while his running mate popped
in nine goals and three fouls.
Maryland, with slim George De-

couldn't match Rhode Islands high

In Basket Struggle
With Georgetown
Hoyos Move Into Acticn
Smortine From Defect
By Temple, 1928

Georgetown and George Wash
ington resume their -the-fence
rivalry tonight at Tech High, where
the dribble delegates of the schools
meet in the first of a two-game
series. The tipoff is scheduled for
$50 o'clock. with freshman teams
of the rival schools meeting in a
preliminary at 7:30.
The tipof along the sports rialto
is that George Washington will win,
that Bill Reinhart's men will avenge
the football teams defeat and do it
by convincing margin. There is
a tip going the rounds in George
town that the Hoyas are "in," but
less credence is placed in it than
the ore picked up on the rialto.
Temple Still Hoya Poison.
Georgetown will be sporting a
figurative sinner tonight when it ap-
pears for the game, the work of a
fast, keen-eyed Temple quint that
apparently cannot forget the East
ern Conference is disbanded. Last
year the Owls humbled the Hoyas in
their last game of the campaign 10
knock them out of a clear claim to
the conference title, and last night
they hung it on Elmer Ripley's boys
again, 1923.
Tearing apart the teams, man for
man, George Washington appears
to have an edge in everything but
the refereeing tonight. It has speed,
poise, balance and a couple of dead
eye Richards in George CARRIER and
Red Auerbach-not to mention Matt
Zunic. Zunic's basket tossing in
the last two games was nothing
short of sensational. It also ruined

BY CARL L. STORCK,
President National Football League.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 6 R.
The National Football League, the
Nations only major professional
gridiron circuit, will redouble its
progressive efforts for the 1910 sea-
son, playing to justify further its
appeal as "everybody's varsity"
Our attendance goal will be up
ward Of $500 900 for IS games and
the championship playon between
winners in the Eastern and Western
divisions.
Playing rules will be changed, II
necessary, to maintain the leagues
record for providing the country's
most spectacular type Of football.
It is my opinion that the present
l0-club league isn't likely to be
altered at our annual meeting early
in April. There have been frequent
rumors of late that Boston. Cincin-
natl, st. Louis and Los Angeles soon
will seek club franchises.
All But One Record Broken.
After a long and consistent ad-
vance our league enjoyed its most
successful year in 1899. The COM
bined league and playoh attendance
of 1,312,611 was an increase of 1913
per cent over the previous seasons
record-hreaking 1,168225. Attend
ance records were made in WASH
ington, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Cleveland and Milwaukee, part-time
home ground for Green Bay.
The New York Giants had the
largest home attendance, drawing
233, ,30l for six home contests, in
Guiding 62,543 for the Washington
encounter and 58,693 for the Bears
game, the two largest single-game
crowds of the season.
In addition, league teams per-
formed before 262,678 spectators in
nine preseason games. In all, over
one and half million persons saw
National League teams in action in
1899.
In practically a clean sweep, IA
league team records were broken
and one tied during the season.
Every offensive record with the ex-
ception of the 2,885 yards rushing
made by Detroit in 1896 was wiped
of the books. Five forward passing.
four ground-gaining, three scoring
and two field-goal standards were
eclipsed, and one f1eld-goal mark
was tied.
OBrien, Hutson Outstanding.
In many cases, the former highs
were surpassed by two or three
teams, a feat attributed largely to
the unequaled performances of the
finest collection of first-year play
ers in league annals.
Individual record breaking was no
less impressive. Led by Rookie Dave
OBrien, the Nations No. l college
star at Texas Christian in 1888, and
the veteran Don Hutson, eight play
ers broke 13 individual records.
Seven forward-passing, three pass
receiving, one round-gaining and
two scoring standards were estab-
lished with OBrien and Hutson
gathering three each in forward
passing and pass receiving.
Only one player retained his 1898
title, New York's Ward Cuff repeat
ing in field goals.
Forward passing reached its peak
in 1888 with feats nothing short of
sensational. Parker Hall of Cleve-
land completed LOG passes, Is more
than Sammy Baughs 81 in 1897.
Our patrons like thrilling COM

That will be the leagues 1910 play

The American people, from long habit, take first

they step train go distant point Will take
them there safely swiftly comfortably and economically
They know that when they mail letter ship gift or
box of supplies carload of machinery it will reach Its
destination exactly as the schedules specify.
But few people know the immense amount of work
and thought and vision that has into building this
astounding transportation machneor the tremendous
progress that has been made in improving in recent
years.
In 1928 representatives of the railroads held con-
ference and decided upon great of rail i'm
provemcnt And the bare figures tell story of
dramatic Todays average freight carries
eight than it's counterpart of 1918 Locomotives
average 43 per cent more pulling power than in 1918
Freight train speeds Cd cent faster than in
1920 General shortages the bane of farmer and
manufacturer have been unknown since 1928 matter
how great the demand for service And finally the out
put of transportation per train, measured by tons
moved mile in hour has increased 116 per cent
since 192Owhich that railroad efficiency has
more than doubled in two brief decades.
1t Is any wonder that American newspapers Or
ganlzed labor business and high public officials
have all thrown their support behind legislation which
would equalze competition in transportation to the end
that all carriers do finer job on behalf of the
American traveller, the Amecan farmer and American
industry?

Improvement

(From the Insilco Club News)
Some fifty or sixty years ago, it
was suggested by a man wro be-
lieved that all of the great dis
coveries and inventions had been
made, that the United States Pat
ent Office should be closed. We
all know how mistaken he was.
Since then the telephone, the
automobile, the RADIO have been
developed and television is on the
way. Nearly 100000 patents have
been issued since that time.
Sometimes we feel that some
thing quite near prfection has been
reached in the things we use and
come in contact with each day.
But there is always a better way.
Everything can be improved. Con-
sequently. it's a good idea to look
at ones own job frequently to see
what can be done to improve the
way of doing it.
