Berlin Zoo Expecting

BERLIN. May 27.-The Berlin
Zoo population 13 Is scrubbing

trade.
It is a brave try. A few work
men are patching up a few of
the hundreds Of holes in the
buildings. The keepers are re-
arranging the cages. The man

crowd that doesn't seem to care
whether a ZOO has animals or not.

November. 1914. apes ran scream
ing up and down the Kurfuersten-
damn. Crocodiles slithered into
Wilhelm's bedroom. 1t was a
mess. And the zoo has been q
mess ever since.
This having been one Of the
most famous ZOOS, the Berlin zoo
men have kept 1t going on faith, |
hope and some occasional charity.
Why do Berliners go to an empty
zoo? Because they always went
to the ZOO. They walked in its
gardens. They danced, free, Sum /
day mornings and heard free band
concerts. They bought ice cream
and nuts and candied apples.
The ZOO once took in 1000, 900
marks (s600.000) a season by !
charging only 20 pfennig (six 1
cents) for each adult and allow
ing the children free admission.
After last summers currency re-
form, attendance dwindled to a
trickle and last winter 1t was so |
to 100 daily. which zoo men called
nothing"
The zoo struggled through the
winter not as a ZOO but as a pretty
busy saloon. City authorities
allowed the ZOO restaurant to op-
crate all night for private parties.
One could buy champagne. cog
mac, almost anything in the way
of drinks, If he had the necessary
money.
That's why there were 140 per-
sons on the payroll. One man
could have taken care OF the

More Trockmen Entered Than
Star Meet Can Accommodate

The deadline for filing entries in
The Evening Star-AAU Games
arrived yesterday with last
minute flood which finds far more
traCkmen seeking to participate
than the meet can accommodate.
In the invitation events, of which
there are nine, the number COM
peting will be limited to an out
standing few who can offer each
other the best of competition.
In the Evening Star sprint series,
for instance, half dozen to be
selected out of the large number
will be announced within the next
few days after Director Dorsey
Griffith completes sitting the great
pile of entry blanks now in his
hands. A dozen or so members of
the American Olympic team which
ran away with the games at London
last summer will compete here in
the greatest collection of stars ever
assembled in the Capital. Nearly
80 events will be on the program,
which is scheduled so closely that
there will be little lapse of time
between events. thus providing three
hours of virtually continuous excite
ment.
Numerous Relays Entered.
So many relay teams have entered
or applied for admission to the
meet there may be as many as IA
of these races, each limited to four
teams. Outstanding, of course. will
be the National Capital Mile Relay
and others will include the Colored
Intercollegiate Athletic Association,
the Dixon Conference Sprint
Medley Relay, the Ivy League Mile
Relay and the special Prep School
Sprint Medley Relay which was
added to the program to bring Bob
Matthias. Olympic decathlon cham
pion, into the competition.
1t is expected there will be at
least three other mile and three
2-mile relays, with the possibility
Of more because of the number of
colleges and universities entered.
The meet has attained national
stature, with entrants coming from
as far west as Iowa State, as far
southwest as Texas, as far southeast
as North Carolina, and as far north
east as New Hampshire and Mas
sachusetts.
Only the Best to Compete.

unofficial, but for the fans hot
stove there's fuel aplenty for a
whole long winter, maybe many
winters.
Officially, that scoreboard still
says Northwestern 20. California Ia.
That's the way it'll stay.
The heated discussion centers
around what Fullback Murakowski
did or didn't do, the newspaper pic
lures thereof, the telecast and what
the fans saw. or thought they saw,
especially California rooters.
MurakoWski fumbled, and they'll
argue from here to there on
whether he rumbled an instant be-
fore or after he crossed the Cali
fornia goal line The officials ruled
it a touchdown on the ground he
had possession of the ball crossing
the final white line. then fumbled.
That made the score 10 to 7 for
Northwestern.
Camera Angles Deceptive.
IF the decision had been that
MurakoWSki fumbled before cross
ing the line. the score would have
stayed at II at the moment and
| recovery of the loose ball in the
end zone by California s Will Lotter
would have given the Bears the
ball on their own 20.
Several newspaper pictures seem
| to indicate that Murakowski fumbled
before he got to the goal line, but
even some hotheads concede thas
camera angles are deceptive.
Here's what some of the officials
say:
Refree Jimmy Cain Jay Ber-
wanger field judge was in a posi-
ton to see the play and he called
MurakoWski over the goal line for
touchdown. The rule is explicit
on the point that when the ball
passes on or over the goal line it
is a touchdown. On his decision
| which had to be right because he
was where he could see, Murakowski
had possession of the ball when he
