Tin vi it rt Bi. i orcn of ucsirucuvii fur ft Among veto to Enjoy Heal Success IEG-HEAVr, chest heaving and head thrown back in one last feeble effort, J Old Man Nineteen Eighteen ncarg the tapo at the. end of his 365-day race, leather Time, starting pistol In ono hand and stop-watch In the other, is ready to send off young Nlneteon Nineten on the npxt lap of the eternal relay. As ho watches tho veteran laboring up tho stretch at a pace none too certain and none too steady, the specter of other days, when this old man, tore his way through the pages of history Ulto a sprinter in a half qentury dash, flashes across his memory. Weak and tottering now, this Nineteen Eighteen was SOME boy In his prime. He has been no respecter of tradition or of convention In his marl race through space. Ho has bowled over tho traditional and conventional In sports that have stood the drlvo of a. score of his preceding colleagues. In his dash to get tho pole at tho turn and lead all things earthly ho elbowed, shouldered and tripped competitors. He ruined baseball schedules, laid a troublesome hand on football, pushed basketball to tho brink of disaster, dimmed the brilliancy of trade athletics, stamped polo out of exlstenco and backed the other sports In only a half-hearted fashion. In his trail lay the skeletons of one-time prosperous ventures. Ho ran his rncf with tho torch of destruction in his right hand, and ho used It too frequently for tho wel fare of athletics In general. H ERE'S your het. What's your nineteen Eighteen! Colleges Stood Financial Loss to Support 1918 Sports ONLiT the farsightedness and open pocketbooks of officials at tho ma jority of our colleges allowed collegiate sport to survive tho year that Is passing. Realizing that athletics meant physical iltness for tho student") In cast they were needed In the army of democracy, tho men at tho head of sports at these Institutions conducted their athletics In tho face of grave conditions. Considering the hardships under which they existed, college sports thrived beyond expectations. There was interest aplenty In -tho football season, aided by the enthusiasm shown In the wclfaro of service elevens Pittsburgh once again won the college crown. College baseball staggered through its schedule and rowing enjoyed a rather successful reason, with Pennsylvania and tho Navy dividing honors. Wrestling, gymnastics nnd most of the minor sports became extinct, but collego basketball was a pleasant surprise. The full schedule was played out, with Pennsjlvanla winning the title. Professional basketball was hard hit nnd tho Eastern League was forced to close. TOO many tributes cannot be paid to 'the institutions that sup ported sports during the war. Their efforts were patriotic sacrifices. Service Athletics Rescued Track Sports TRACK athletics prospered because of the support given In the military and naval camps nnd by tho collegians. The National A. A. U. games were held at the Great Lakes Naval Station and a great number of sailors and soldiers participated. The Intercollegiate championships wero held for the first tlmo since 1916 and they drew a largo entry list, with Cornell Ultimately proving its superiority. No records were broken In tho Intor collegiate games, but good times were made and tho competition was close. Charles Pores, tho famous New York runner, was the only athlete to set a new American senior record during tho year. Ho shattered tho flvc mile mark at the national games In September when ho covered the dis tance in 24 minutes 36 4-6 seconds. Joic Ray, the flash from tho Illinois A. C, equaled two world's Indoor marks. Ho ran 1000 yards In 2:14 nnd tied tho old record made by the late Johnny Overton, and also raced 1320 yards in 3 minutes nnd 5 seconds. Pores was the only man to break a championship record in tho national outdoor A. A. U. games, although six new Junior championship marks were hung up. .tJIIIE intcrscholastlc track season coming in the Middle Atlantic championships. Allen Swede, of Mcrcersburg, broke the world's intcrscholastlc two-mile record. Stormy and Abbreviated Year in Baseball BASEBALL'S stormy car, one which reflected little credit on tho sport, was accounted for by the war. The season had Its earliest close September 1 duo to tho war "work-or-flght" order by tho War Depart ment declaring the game nonessential. To the Boston Red Sox went the pennant spoils In the American Leaguo and the Chicago Cubs romped away with the bunting in the National circuit. Rulers lost their crowns In Europe, but the American Leaguo con tinued to dominate over baseball. The Red Sox, representatives of tho Ban ' Johnson circuit, upheld old traditions of the American Loaguo by defeating tho Cubs, of Chicago, four games to two In tho classic of tho year. , Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the Georgia Peach, again clubbed his way to the batting laurels in the American League. Ills mark of .382 stood out as the highest average In either major circuit. Unofficial figures award the coveted batting crown in tho National League to Zach Wheat, of Brooklyn, by tho margin 6f one ten-thousandth of a point over Eddie Roush, of. Cincinnati. Wheat's mark was .33496 and Roush closely followed him with .33486. Changes In the personnel of clubs wero many, because no few or than 144 men of the American Leaguo and 103 men of tho National set were In the army khaki or the navy blue. The year also produced a now president for the National League. John A. Heydler succeeded John K. Tener, who resigned as head of tho senior organization. Nor was baseball without Its loss on tho battlefield. Captain Edward L. Grant, better known as "Harvard Eddie," former member of tho I'hlllloa and later with the Now York Giants, was killed In action In France. AS FOIC the minor leagues, they had a barren season and most of " iJicnt closed their gates wen before Bcptcmbcr t. Big Year for Sivimming, Tennis and Golf SWIMMING, golf and tennis enjoyed quite a prosperous year. Follow ing a more or less disastrous season in 1917, when all play for titles and prUes was abandoned, tennis regained virtually all of Its former pres tige Tho decision to resume the Davis Cup matches in 1920 Indicates that tho sport Is In for a world-wide development. The last season marked tho rapid advancement of the so-called younger school. When you add such names as Vincent Richards, Fred Alexander, Jr., Harold Taylor, Herman Pornhelm, Rodney Beck and Gerald Emerson to those of R. Norrls Wil liams, 2d, Maurice McLoughlln, William Johnston, Gcorgo Church, Llndloy Murray and Bill Tilden, 2d, It Is easy to sco why American prospects are of the brightest. Despite tho fact that tournament activity was curtailed and cham- hi plonshlps suspended, the golf links ; peaco times, and it can be said that Surprisingly well. More than 1160,000 was turned over to the Red Cross and other war relief societies. Virtually every star who was not in the service was out playing exhibition matches for war funds. Even though a number of the star watermen are in tho service, swimming carnivals pro vided Interesting competition and records wero smashed with freo hand. In the field of water sports for women the achievements of the past wore completely ocllpsod, AT TUB annual A. A. V. meeting, fifteen national and world's standards and ttcelvc for women were officially accepted, in addition there were many first-class marks made. Governmental Approval Big Boost to Boxing NO BOXING titles were risked during the year, but tho ring game came In for Its greatest boost. The Government, in placlnjr Its approval on boxing, did much to elevate the sport. Now boxing Is ono of the most .popular pastimes, and to show how It ranked the first International sport which was staged was boxing. Two men came to the front with a rush. Jack Dempsey, the Utah heavyweight, was the season's sensation, with Lew Tendler, the Quakor City lightweight, 'second only to the western terror. Both boys enjoyed prosperous seasons. Benny Leonard, Johnny Kilbane, Mike Gibbons and other stars were In camp and, aside from Leonard, did no boxing for pritqnal profit. Even Leonard's outside exhibitions were limited. JP Moore, of Memphis, came to tho front with a rush In the waning BUjsimiti o( the year when he defeated Jimmy Wilde, the European' sen- 'J . I $ATH alio stalked an unrelenting hand. John L.

THE TERRIBLE REVIEW OF 1918 Boxing Promoters Forget War Era, Look to Future Quaker City Officials Pre dict Greatest Boom in History of Ring Sport TO STAGE BANNER CARDS By JAMES S. CAROLAN WITH the many obstructions, natural and otherwise, removed, tho boxing pathway Is clear for 1010. Tho last jear was a critical ono for all pro moters, but the boxing magnates gamoly continued to keep the gamo allvo, de spite reverses and conditions that would havo forced a less hardy lot to nult. With a scarcity of talent and u con dition of uncertainty alwajs ovldcnt, tho promoters went ahead, and weekly con tinued to put on bIiows Soino weeks thcro would not bo enough In tho houso to pay the rent, and It wus seldom that protltablo shows were staged. Only to ward tho closing dajs of tho jear could the moguls see tho clouds lifting and the brightness of the future rapidly moving forward. Boxing Alive Here This was tho only city that kept tho ring game In tho front. It was to this city that tho boxers floeked when they wero In need of extra money. Other cities staged shows occasionally, hut at least threo times a week thero was something going on hero In tho way of boxing. In addition, the servlco clubs always commanded attention. Much has been written about what boxing did In winning tho war through tho medium of preparing men for actual combat. The part that boxing played In raising money for Liberty LoanB, thrift-stamp campaigns, smoko and boxlng-glovo funds nnd other charitable enterprises has been accurately recorded from tlmo to time. It was the real sport for fighting men. It produced re sults, Promolers OplimUlic The big club owners hero are not de spondent. They can bm nothing but success In tho future. Nono cared to dlscUBB tho past. Al! seemed willing to let It bo forgotten. They admitted the good tho game had done In many ways, but It Is to tho future that they aro looking. Harry Edwards, president of the Olymnla, A. C anticipates the greatest year In the history of boxing. "Whv shouldn't 1910 be tho greatest?" asked tho well-known boxing authority nnd promoter "If we were able to go nlong showing weekly during the strenu ous and critical war days, shouldn't we see nothing but the good In the future? Doxlng now has been elevated to such a piano thnt It has gained nation-wide, In fact, national recognition. It Is al most as popular as football and baseball among tho better class of people. We could not say mai a jeur ugu. Talent Plentiful irint will be mor plentiful soon Tho class of fighter alto will be higher and their exhibitions snouia oe neuor than ever.

PENN FARED WELL IN SHARING 19 18 SPOILS Quakers Won National In door Title and Basketball Championships; Tied for Rowing Crown SUFFERED FINANCIALLY By EDWIN J. POLLOCK , THE year 1918 dealt a sounding nnd i smashing blow on the financial solar plexus of the University of Pennsylva nia, but Quaker prestige still throws a hefty shadow on the sport screen. Two ofllclals of tho athletic association were forced to dig deep, and although the purso bag may bo lean, the bag of ath letic spoils Is fairly well filled. During tin year that passes Into tho great beyond at midnight tonight Penn won threo team championships nnd shared equally with ono rival In another. Four sons of the Red and Blue captured Individual intercollegiate championships nnd athletes In all branches of sport that were maintained did fairly well. The Quakers got away to a flying start on the road to success when tho basketball quintet landed the title In tho Intcrcolleglato League and tho fresh man flvo set a now tecord for yearling teams, besides being rated us the best flist-ycar aggregation In tho country. Two Cage Titles Lon Jourdet ti'lorcd both teams, and It Is a splendid tribute to his coaching ability fiat two championships wero won. Tho Itert and Bluo flvo was tho best team by far In tho league circuit and tho freshmen bretzed through tho season of nineteen games without a de. feat. Lon will return to Penn as a vol unteer coach this season and will be aided by Lew Martin, captain of last year's title five. While the basketball team was fighting Its way to the top, the track team, under Lawson Robertson, cantered to n national championship when the Indoor A. A. V. title was landed In New York. Only three men, Marvin Gustafson, Sher man Lnndera and Fred Davis, figured in tho scoring. ' Pour track athletes captured Individ ual titles during tho senson. Marvin Gustafson won tho nntlonal Indoor G00 yatjd championship and Sherman Landers captured tho 300-yard crown on the same night.

However, the Quakers deserve equal honors with the Middles.

Roy Thomas had a hard time to keep nine men together, but he survived tho baseball year In good shnpe.

The Red and Blue beat Swarthmorc, La fayetto and Dartmouth and lost to Swarthmore and Pittsburgh.
