Makes ; Goals in ST

Hockey Mark
BY the Associated Press.

Bill Jennings. rookie wingman
with the Indianapolis Capitals,
must have taken some lessons in
quick scoring from Carl Liscomb
when Carl was playing with the
American League club early this
season. Jennings belted home thres
goals in 81 seconds last night when
the Caps routed the Hershey Bears,
6-2 In doing that he wrecked Lis
combs speed record for scoring
and at the same time crushed the
faint hopes of Pittsburgh and Buff
falo of getting into the playoffs
this season.
Jennings scored his first field
goal at 2:58 of the second period
to break a IL tie. the second at
3:35 and the third at 3:55. Lis
comb had made three in a minute
and 50 seconds for the Detroit Red
Wings in 1888 While that is listed
in the record books only as a Ma
tional League record, it is believed
to have been the best ever recorded
in pro hockey, and Jennings mark
can stand as a world record until
some one digs up a better perform
ance.

Fred WoIcott 10 Race
Against Fast Field
In 0rioIe Games
Ace HurdIer to Receive
Enough Opposition to
Make Him Go All Out

Fred Wolcott of Rice Institute,
the worlds premier hurdler, will
compete in the University of Mary
land-5th Regiment annual indoor
invitational meet in the latter's big
armory in Baltimore on Friday
night, March 7.
The entry of the great Texas
timber-topper was received this
morning by Geary Eppley. Maryland
athletic director and vice chair
man of the Games Committee Epp-
ley is in charge of the entry list.
Wollcott will contest in the TO
yard high hurdles in the Baltimore
meet and sufficient talent of ma
tional repute will be obtained to
make him go all out to win. He
also is running with great success in
the dashes, but it is not known
whether he will double up in the
Monumental City games. He's fully
strong enough to do it.
The big Texan is ranked as the
No. man in both the 110-yard high
and the 220-yard low hurdles in
the National A. A. U. and collegiate
lists for 1910 and his work this win
ter has added to his standing.
He broke the world mark by a
tenth of a second in winning the
60-yard highs in the Millrose A. A.
games in New York in 0:722, lowered
the record for the so In the Penn
A. C. meet in Philadelphia to O:06.1
and shattered the time in the As by
stepping 0:056 in the Boston A. A.
affair All these feats came within
a week Wolcott started the year
by winning the 110-yard highs at
the Sugar Bowl at New orleans.
He holds the world outdoor mark
of 22.5 for the 220-yard lows and
shares the American record Of 1879
for the l10-yard highs.
Wolcott has been taking a re-
spite from competition by returning
to Texas. but will be back in action
soon and will be we'll tuned by the
time the Baltimore meet rolls
around.

Silent Tom Smith Gives
Lowdown on Himself
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

The long arm of fame doesn't al

bronze of the mighty Seabiscuit at
Santa Anita the other day. Through
out the colorful ceremony a some

blinking behind his spectacles,
shifted uneasily from one foot to
the other. The crowd didn't notice
him, it was all eyes on the great Sea-
biscuit. The little man didn't care;
he wanted to have it over with and
get back to his tack room. 1t was

Smith is we'll known around the

the best name they could hand him
was Silent Tom

OF important games this week.
The two teams from public
high ranks will be decided in the
championship playoff round Friday
and Saturday nights in which
Roosevelt, defending metropolitan
and public high champion; Eastern,
runnerup for both titles last year;
Tech and Western are entered. AS
usual, the winner and runnerup
for the high school championship
are expected to go after metro
politan honors.
Two Other Title Games on Tap.
Preceding the District champion

Zaga and st. Johns, both tourna-

Gonzaga'S Eagles took the first
of their two meetings this year with
st. Johns and are favored again,

ball, particularly between these two
schools. While the Eagles have been
enjoying better-than-eXpected

employment for athletes during
Christmas or Easter holidays and

While the Boston Bruins have
received-and earned-a lot of
praise for their record 21-game un-
beaten streak that carried them
into the National Hockey League
lead last week, it's worth noting
that the Toronto Maple Leafs still
are in the league.
The Leafs won so many games in
the first month and a half of the
season that they've been able to
coast since then, and they coasted
down into second place when the
Bruins shattered the old league rec
ord of 10 successive games without
a defeat. Over the last week end,

Barons. Two recent setbacks, how
ever, by Landon and Coolidge have
hurt the Barons and at the same
time heartened Blair for Thursday
nights important encounter.
Virginians Embattled.
The Virginia representative or
representative in The Star tour
nament likely will not be decided
until next week, when George
Washington of Alexandria and
Washington-Lee of Ballston meet
in their second game of the season.
The Generals won the first game,
but they have similar records and
the outcome of the second game is
extremely uncertain.
To complete the list Of eight teams
in The Star tournament several
other schools will be invited on the
basis of outstanding records this
year, and to that end all teams
will be watched this week and next
as scholastic basket ball enters the
last lap. Episcopal, Landon, HyattS-
vile and Georgetown Prep all have
very good records and are among
the top fight of teams being con-
Sidered for invitations.

followed the touring METERS were
inclined to think so. but more said
the Oakland youngster simply had
been in temporary slump recently.
Riggs played about his usual
game, perhaps a trif1e better. in
outlasting the Californian. Trailing
in the fifth set. he forced Kovacs
into crucial errors, pulled up even
at 4-all and went on to take the
next two games.
