BASKETBALL IN COLLEGES SUFFERS FROM LACK OF FORESIGHT IN OFFICIAL LEGISLATIO

- INTERCOLLEGIATE LEAGUE
. NEEDS LEGISLATION FOR ,
PLAYING OFF TIES IN CAGE
Officials of Organization Were Not Prepared
When Penn and Princeton Finished Sea
son With Same Percentage
UNlVEnSITT OF PENNSYLVANIA basketball authorities deserve commenda
tion for arranging to play off the tie for tho Intercollegiate championship
with Princeton. Tho American public likes decisions, and while cither team
Would havo been well within Its rights In declining to tnko part In a post-season
eorlcs, such a refusal would havo hurt tho collcglato game.
With tho two teams willing to decldo the question of superiority, tho officials
of tho Intcrcollcglalo Leaguo should pass somo legislation that will nutomptlcally
provide for tho pln.yj.ig off of such ties before tho season starts. Thero should bo
somo such agreement botween tho six teams before their first games are played.
Pennsylvania nnd Princeton aro doing their part In setting a happy precedent
Without compulsion, but rt matter of such Importnnco ought not to bo left to
chance.
Btnco the season ended, Princeton men havo been confident that they could
beat Pennsylvania In any kind of a series agreed upon. And now that tho Quakor
team la likely to be weakened by tho Ineligibility of ono or more men who starred
In making the leaguo race a tie, the Tigers' chances aro brighter than over.
Donald G. Herring, tho famous Tiger athlcto and critic, figures It out thus
In tho Princeton Alumni Weekly:
"On recent form there appears to bo some llttlo difference between tho
league leaders. McNIchol's wondorful foul shooting, of course, Is a great nsset
to his team, but attention must bo called to tho fact that Princeton Is not fouling
much lately. Against Dartmouth Princeton fouled bIx times to their opponents
ten, against Cornell three times to their opponents' four. As n field goal scoring
team Princeton Is BUporior to Penn, whllo Princeton also guards more closely."
Lcuhrlng Proves to bo Excellent Coach
Pennsylvania has beon given much credit for Its wonderful fight against
great odds In the Intercollogtato Basketball Loaguo Btruggle and tho credit
Is deserved but no one should overlook Princeton In handing out bouquets.
Pennsylvania has won basketball championships before; Princeton has not.
Basketball for many years was nothing more than a farce, as It was played
by Orange and Black teams. Such woll-vorsed basketball men as Marvin A.
XUley, Gus Endobrock, Fred Cooper and Harry Hough all tried to turn out
Winners at Princeton and all wore dismal failures.
Then came Fred Lcuhrlng with tho system that won championships for
the Unlvorslty of Chicago, and immediately Princeton began to pick up in tho
Intercollegiate struggle. Tho Tigers won five games In a row, and then faltered
on tho homestretch because of Injuries to tho players.
Tho Junglotown flvo lost two of their first three games this year, and then
went through the season without another defeat. Tho two games In which they
were defeatod were only lost by ono and two points. Leuhrlng's strength will
bo told In tho team that ho dovolops noxt year, for McTlgue, tho best contro In
tho leaguo; Fcreo, a rattling fine forward, nnd Davles, a guard of tho first water,
all graduato this Juno. Click, substltuto guard, and Buttcrworth, substitute
centre, are others who graduate.
Tennis Committee "Shoots" at Westerners
Tho recommendation of the Executive, Commlttco of the United States Na
tional Lawn Tennis Association to prohibit clubs paying expenses, Is a direct
slap nt the Westerners who havo been successful on Eastern courts. It Is a
long way from tho Golden Gate to Forty-second street and thero is no reason
why somo of tho Western cracks should not bo assisted financially In making
their annual Jaunts to enter tho tournaments In tho East.
Then, too, their stand on tho amateur question Is by no means sound or
logical. If tho association does what tho executive committee desires Tom
Bundy, Maurice McLoughlln, Wallace Johnson and others will havo to glvo up
their positions in order to play In open tournaments. Tho commlttco states,
and very properly, that a man should not bo declared a professional because
he sells sporting goods or allows his namo to be used in their sale. They want,
however, to keep men who do these things barred at the tlmo thoy aro engaged In
such business.
Great Walking Marvel Discovered
Toronto has uncovered another walking sensation. Wnllnco Jackson, tutored
by George Gouldlng, the greatest of all walkers. Is turning out miles In exhibitions
In the Canadian city in better than 6:40. Jackson has been walking the heel-and-too
way' less than six months, and gives ovory Indication of developing even
faster than Gouldlng. The latter was a distance runner or thought he was. He
inn In tho Olymplo marathon In London In 1008 and finished so far In tho ruck
that he took to heel and toe walking, nnd In less than a year ho was the best
'n the world. Now It Is an uncommon thing for him to walk a mile slower than
six minutes and 30 seconds. .,
Durborow to Attempt Chesapeake Bay Swim
Charles Durboraw, Philadelphia's famous long-distance swimmer, who is
rated as the finest endurance and long-distance speed swimmer In tho world,
and the one man who will eventually swim the English Channel as soon as the
hostile fleets and submarines vacate, has Just arranged to make his second
attempt at the most difficult swimming feat this country provides.
The Phlladelphlan will endeavor to swim across tho mouth of Chesapeake
Bay, from Cape Honry to Fisherman's Island, a distance of moro than 30 miles,
entailing swimming through rough seas and buffeted by treacherous currents
and forced to detour frequently because of shoalB. He has set Saturday, June
24, for the attempt, and will start at 10:30 o'clock at night with the expectation
of swimming all ntght and finishing Sunday afternoon before dark.
Ii nt year Durborow attempted this task, but was forced to give up after
ho had covered more than 25 miles, and had been In tho wator nearly 12 hours.
Ife was 'forced to discontinue by the rough water. Since that tlmo tho Quaker
"water dog" has made a olose study of the wators in the vicinity of the Vir
ginia Capes and of the currents and tides, with the result that he hopes to
escape many of the baffling oross-ourrentB and tides by making his start late
at night.
While the individual wrestling feats of Mlko Dorlzas, of Penn, fully occupy
all of the time and attention of wrestling men In this section, the feats of Penn
State on the mat have been generally overlooked. The up-State collegians have
made a remarkable record since they took up the wrestling gamo in 1910. In
the seven years that W. T. Lewis coached tho team If, won 28 out of 33 meets.
Cornell Is the only college in the Intercollegiate WresHling League Association
which has defeated Penn State. Singularly enough, tho Middles have won
three out of four times from State. In all probability the State team will enter
tba lntercolleglates next season.
k -
There are three members of last season's Richmond (International League)
team at tho Athletics' camp. They are Pick, Thompson and Morrlsette. Mack
already has sent three or four players to Dunn as part, payment for these men,
pnd. It la likely that one left and two right-handed pitchers, nn lnflelder and a
catcher aBfejvIll be sent to Jack Dunn for further seasoning when the Mackmen
return to FhUtXtelphla,
u
TOe passage by the New Jersey Legislature of a bill which permits boxing
tinder amateur rules and Its subsequent enactment Into a law by the stamp
of Governor Fielder on It paved tho way for big things In a boxing way In
Jersey, Already promoters are getting busy, and In North Jersey no less than
b dozen tournaments are planned.
The bouts cannot exceed four rounds, and tho rules which govern A, A. U.
boxing will have to be adhered to.
Following precedent established by James E. Sullivan and Gustavus Towne
Klrby, George J. Turner, the president of the Amateur Athletlo Union, Is to
make a tour of the country In the Interest of amateur athletics. Turner is
the roost popular president of the A. A. U, since Sullivan held the Job, and if
any ono can bring order out of chaos Turner Is the man who can do It,
Catcher Bill Meyers, of the Athletics, is only 23 years old, but has a good deal
of baseball experience. Almost everybody has been marveling at fne knowledge
Meyers has of the fine points of catching and could not understand where he had
picked them up, until Meyers Informed Mack that he had been under the wing of
Bill Sullivan, the veteran catcher, while with the White Sox, four years ago.
In general appearence, Stellbauer reminds one of Itube Oldrlng, and several
of tho young pitchers who work against him declare that he hits like Oldrlng, As
tha latter was clouting the ball unusually hard. It Is easy to see that the pitchers
Wlevo Stellbauer Is worthy of great praise. Thompson or Walsh may beat him

CRANE'S BATTING
TO BE IMPROVED
BY HARRY DAVIS
Acting Manager Peeved at
Athletics' Poor Game
With Braves
THOMPSON SHOWS WELL
By CHANDLER D. R1CHTER
SttAStf, Fla., March 24. Very much
peeved at tho work of tho Mackmen yes
terday afternoon, Acting Manager Harry
Davis ordered tho men out to practlco
this morning. It la unusual for a ball
team to practice on tho road. Davis bc
lloed that It was necessary If tho Mack
men wero to make a decent showing dur
ing tho remainder of tho scries with tho
Braves. Permission wiih secured to uso
tho old field, which Is a few squares away
from the liandsoino llttlo park constructed
by tho Dravcs this winter.
DavlB' first movo waB to tnko Sam
Crnno In hand and try to Improve his
stylo nt tho plate. Harry snys ho does
not remember ever seeing a mnjor leaguo
pl.iycr with such poor stylo nt tho bnt
Harrv hns noticed tho peculiar nocment
of '.rane's forward foot In batting, nnd
Insisted this morning that Sam keep both
feet firmly planted on the ground whllo
BWlnglng.
Tho youngster had a great deal of trou
ble doing this, as tho habit has grown on
him and It Is doubtful If he will bo nblo
to break himself. Sam bungled horribly
In tho field in tho first gnmo of tho series
yesterday, but Davis is not worried about
his fielding ability.
A neat little lecture was handed out on
calling for fly balls, which fell just be
yond tho Infield. Malone and Crano were
taken to task for making bad plays which
permitted runners caught between tho
bases yesterday to get back to their base
safely or advance another peg. Three
such plays occurred yesterday, and all
were responsible for runs.
Tho first .game was really much closer
and moro Interesting than the scorn would
Indicate, dcsplto tho blundering which
handed Boston most of Its runs. Joo Bush
and Sam Crano wero tho greatest of
fenders and they handed tho Braves
enough runs to clinch tho victory.
The box score shows that tho National
Leaguers mado 10 hits, and would make
It appear that tha Mack twlrlers were
batted rather hard, hut such was not the
case. Flvo of tha 10 hits would have been
outs under ordinary conditions, but the
youngsters In Davis' line-up became badly
rattled at times and stood still, while lly
balls fell safe between them.
There Is no question but what the
Braves are tha best team, but yesterday
was one of those days that the best team
should not have won The Mackmen made
three runs, two of which were earned and
they bunched their hits In fine style. The
Braves did not bungle at critical stages,
either by errors of commission, which
count In the box score, or errors of omis
sion. It was Just the opposite with the Made
men. They made only two errors which
appear In the box score, but their pegging
to the bases and general handling of the
ball was amateurish at times. Just as
soon as they got these mlscues out of

Dig Fight for Life
of the Boxing Game
b
By JOHN L. SULLIVAN
NEW YORK, March 24. Much
more than tho individual fortunes
of Jess Willnrd nnd Frank Moran
will bo at stake when these two
big men crawl through the ropc3
at Madison Square Garden tomor
row night.
They will bo up there fighting
for the life or death of the boxing
game, nnd certainty the fate at
least of the heavyweight class will
be in their hands alone during
those 10 rounds.
Therefore, there ought to bo a
decisive result. There really
should be a knockout. Both Wil
lard and Moran possess the punch
to put an opponent to sleep and
both men ought to be trying to
lnnd that punch. If Moran can do
it, he will enjoy perhaps ns great
popularity as any champion wo
have ever had, and if Willard docs
it, hi3 victory will do much to re
habilitate him in tho eyes of tho
sporting public, which has grown
rather weary of his hippodrome
tactics since he won the title.
their system, tho youngsters awoko and
mado somo scintillating plays.
Tho moso encouraging features of tho
gamo from an Athletic standpoint wero
tho pitching of Crowoll and Sheehnn, the
brilliant work of young Meyers behind the
bat and "Shag" Thompson's splendid all
round work. Tho latter- Is evidently out
nfter a record. Against tho Kort Pierce
Pitchers, Wednesday, Thompson drew four
bases on balls and mnda, two doubles and
n single. Yesterday, against Rudllph and
Barnes, Thompson mado an unusual rec
ord. Ho went to the plate five times, but
was not officially credited with a time at
bat. "Shag" drew four bases on balls and
was hit by a pitched ball once.

In tho 15 playing days spent by tho Phil

BASKETBALL SHOULD BE MADE
A MAJOR SPORT.IN COLLEGES
TP ANT of the so-called minor sports has
.... . . .. ...-. I
A won tno rigni to no cinssea as a -major,
It Is basketball. Not omy at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, but at other Eastern
colleges, this midwinter pastime has
beaten out all the other Indoor sports.
From the standpoint of popularity, with
students and public It Is on even terms
with football, rowing and baseball. Yet at
hardly any college In the country can a
man win his letter In basketball.
Basketball has been knocking for ad
mission to the hall of the major sports
at Pennsylvania for a long time, but It
has never been admitted. If the Quakers
win the Intercollegiate championship,
doubtless tho players will be permitted to
wear tho varsity letter. But when the
game Is put to the test whto his supposed
to be applied to those of "major" Im
portance It ought not to bo necessary to
win a championship to bo rewarded as a
major.
