They Didn't Have
Enough Bicycles

CHICAGO, Oct. % - R -
There were several reasons why
the st. Leonard grade school
football team didn't keep its
engagement with the St. Joseph
Academy eleven of suburban La
Grange.
The captains mother was to
take some of the players in her
car, but the starter got stuck
and the machine wouldn't start;
their coach was called out of the
city; the right tackles fathers
car was in a garage for repairs;
none of the other parents want
ed to add any mileage to their
tires, and the kids didn't have
enough bikes to 90 around.

Michigan State Digs
into Reserve Power

EAST LANSING, Oct. % -
Up The Michigan State Col
lege football coaches dug into
their reserves today for replace
ment strength to bolster the gap
left by the injury of Walter
Pawlowski, star right halfback.
The scouting report indicated
the Temple Owls, whose home
in Philadelphia Michigan State
will invade Saturday, are strong
enough to give the Spartans a
very busy afternoon, and weak
ness at the right half spot could
prove costly. State has no in
tention of taking unnecessary
risks of an upset loss to Temple,
alter having itself upset the
dope all over the place by beat
ing the Great Lakes team here
last weekend.

Says Bogovith
AII-Ameri(a

NEWARK, Del, Oct. 28-(P)
= Coach Silent Bill (The
Sphinx) Murray, who never
talks much about his teams,
made one of the longest foot
speeches of his career today -
and in it advanced for ALL
America honors the University
of Delaware's unheralded stel-
lar guard, Hugo Bogovich, who
has paced the Blue Hens to a
record of no defeats in ID starts.
Murray, an All-Southern half
back himself in 1880 when he
played for Duke, said of the six
foot, 182-pound Bogovich, who
halls from Turtle Creek, Pa.
Hes one of the most aggres-
sive players I've ever seen-a
players player and a team man
fro mthe kickoff to the last
whistle. He's worth All-Ameri-
ca mention"
Line Coach Emory Adkins, al
so a 1880 Duke star, who was
hailed as one of the best centers
in the Blue DEVILS history, ap-
pended to Murray's oration:
HE not only has a fast, slash
ing charge but his ability to
anticipate a players move is un-
canny."
Bogovich is playing his fourth
year as a regular and fans, play
ers and old grads are giving him
much credit for the fact that the
team hasn't been whipped since
October, 1910. Since then it has
had only one tie, and since the
tie it has won IL consecutive
games.

High School

Sports Enrichment
Roises New Problem
for Association

LANSING, Oct. % - R) -
The executive committee of the
state high school athletic assoc
iation will meet here Thursday
to determine a course for financ-
ing the organization in view of
prospective sharp .urtailment of
interscholastic athletic events
from which 1t derives its income.
DR.. Eugene B. Elliott, state
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, said he was convinced high
school basketball tournaments
next spring would be conduct
ed under han leaps, and would
not be the large and profitable
spectacles they have been in the
past. Much of the athletic as
sociation's revenues come from
a share of the gate receipts at
these tournaments.
Il also derives income from the
registration Of referees, umpires
, and other officials of interschol-
astic sports, and direct SUBJ
sidy from the department of pub
lie instruction. Curtailment Of
competitive sports will mean
fewer officials to register, DR..
Elliott pointed out.
1.-THE association faces the
problem of reduced revenues at
a time when it is asked to be-
come more active in promoting
the entire physical education
program" the superintendent
said.
The association recently en-
barked on a program of encour-
aging schools to offer boys in
their classes a modified COM
mando training course designed
to build strong, healthy bodies.
Elliott said the associations
executive committee would dis
cuss among other things Thurs
day the feasibility of looking to
the legislature for an appropri-
alton to make up in whole or
in part for the drop in its in
come; the feasibility of asking
schools to contribute to its sup
port, and would explore wheth-
er it would be possible to have
the so-called athletic benefit
plan absorb a larger share of
administrative costs. The bene-
fit plan provides cash allowances
to high school athletes injured
in interscholastic competition or
training.
