Rough Road Is Ahead
For Fast-Moving
Brewer Quint
Tilt With Sphos, Brace
With Jewels Listed
Over Week End

Credited with one of the greatest
American Basket Ball League de-
fensive performances in recent years
following their amazing 1913 rout of
the Troy Celtics last night at Troy,
N. Y, before 5000 fans, the Heurich
Brewers today were pointing for
three major games within span of
48 hours.
Tomorrow night the Brewers,
again tied with the Philadelphia
Sphas for first place, will invade
Philadelphia to meet the Sphas.
On Sunday afternoon they will en-
terrain the third-place New York
Jewels at Heurich gym at 2:30
o'clock, and Immediately after the
game both clubs will entrain for
Brooklyn, N. Y, for an $50 o'clock
nightcap.
The twin bill with the Jewels now
looms as an attractive brace of
games, for the Jewels have pur-
chased the franchise Of the dis
banded Jersey Reds and, of course,
will be fortified by the presence of
outstanding Reds.
Ben Kramer, released by the
Kingston IN. " Celtics when that
club merged with Troy recently,
gained sweet revenge over the Troy
Celtics last night as he contributed
five points to his teams total while
holding Chick Reiser, high-scoring
ace of the host team, to a lone free
toss.
Some idea of the surprising de-
fensive power exhibited by the
Brewers is provided when it is cited
only Moe Frankel of Troy could
score from scrimmage.

PRINCETON, N. J.. Jan. as
Princeton University announced to-
night plans for publication of .
comprehensive history Of her ath-
letics, to be edited by Donald G..
Herring, OF, former all-America
The volume will cover nearly two
centuries of sport and will include
the first complete record of Nassau
athletics in the Goth century. The
only similar work was a volume
published in 1901.
Well Equipped for Task.
According to George A. Brakeley,
financial vice president of the uni
versity, who made the announce
ment, a fund for the annals has
been established by alumni and in
terested friends.
Herring, known as Heff to his
Princeton acquaintance, was the
first American Rhodes scholar to
become a member of the oxford
rugby team. His experience in ath-
letics includes a term as athletic
editor of the Princeton Alumni
Weekly, which position he occupied
from 1914 until 1921.
He is the father of Donald G.
Herring, jr., the Princeton Junior
whose leg was amputated as re-
suit of a gridiron accident last fall.
Started Sports in 1851.
Princeton's sports history runs as
far back as 1761, when q form of
handban was played against the
wall of the presidents house, in
spite of a threat of a fine Of S
shillings. Other informal games
were engaged in, although the COL
lege at one time had regulations
prohibiting them. A faculty rule in
1887 forbade shiny" as sport
"low and unbecoming gentlemen
and students"
Old Nassau's first intercollegiate
contest was a baseball game with
Williams on November ~, 1864. To-
day a third of the undergraduate
body plays on more than so inter-
collegiate teams in 20 sports. In
addition, the university conducts .

The Washington Eagles, who have
encountered considerable trouble
shaking off the pesky Baltimore
Orioles in their scramble for the
Eastern Amateur Hockey League
runner-up spot, will attempt to
benefit in two directions tomorrow
night at Riverside Stadium when
they tangle with the league leading
New York Rovers in an important
engagement.
Again tied with the Orioles in Sec

last night, the Eagles will be seeking
to reduce the Rovers' lead to four

Eagles Are Prepared.
That the Eagles are ready for the
rampaging Rovers was indicated to-
day by Coach Redvers Mackenzie,
who expressed satisfaction with the
improvement displayed by the for
ward line of Ken PARTS, Bill Cairns

day.

BY ROBERT MYERS,


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.-Inter-
national sponsors of the proposed
1910 pan-American athletic games
well could listen. to a few sugges-
tons from the man who staged the
first tournament of this kind three
years ago and made it an unqualified
success.
He is George Preston Marshall, q
plunging genius when it comes to
putting on spectacles of this nature
and a spectacle, said this WASH
ington Cd. c. businessman-sports-
man, is what the pan-American
games should be.
Back in 1887, with very little time
for preparations, Marshall directed
the first pan-American games in
Dallas, Tex, drew record smash
ing attendance of $1,000 for the
three-night run, and he and his as
sociates found themselves sWamped
with goodwill resolutions from the
Latin American countries at the
conclusion of the games.
Good Will Prime Purpose.
Marshall, who is spending the win
ter here, is nationally known as the
owner of the Washington Red
skins professional football team,
which happens to be one of his
shining examples of how to COM
bine sport with showmanship and
make it pay dividends.
He has several ideas about the
proposed pan-American games this
year which he passes on to A. A.
U. hackers of the event.
The games, he said, must be eS-
tabliShed as permanent, annual
event, based solely on the idea of
promoting solid good feeling be-
tween the Americas.
A system of point scoring must
be adopted, so that the smaller coun-
tries will have an equal chance in
competition; sports must be included
In the program in which the Latin
Americans excel, such as polo,
Craftsmanship and soccer.
"We-and by we I mean the
United States-cannot become point
hungry or score-thirsty. for that
would destroy the whole idea of
craftsmanship and the foundation
of an international affair of this
kind" Marshall observed.
Would Avoid Politics.
"What's more" he continued, "the
entire purpose will be defeated if
we permit politics of the Olympic
games variety to figure"
He recommended something else
which appears radical, but reminded
that it worked successfully in the
1887 games. No admission fee, eX-
cept for few reserved seats not
to exceed third of the stadium's
capacity, would be charged.
Business interests, chiefly Ameri-
can properties in Latin America,
would guarantee financial obliga-
tons.
Marshall's original plan was to
hold the games one year in the
United States, the next in South
America. Every fourth year Gen.
trail America or Canada would get
the games, and they would not be
held in an Olympic year. Brazil
and the Mexican government, he
believed, would be interested in the
1941 tournament.
Los Angeles, in view of its achieve
ment with the 1882 Olympics, would
be the logical place for the 1910
games.
The games would have a ire
mendous value if dedicated to pro-
noting good will and travel; if every
country's representatives go home
feeling that they have been shown
a great time and given a square
deal on the athletic field" Marshall
said.
