Until California won the intercollegiates last spring, Michigan led all western institutions In records at the big meet. Eleven timea the Wolverines have eent teams east, and although never finishing first, they were usually well up in the standing. Ferry field, where the University of Michigan's athletic plant is situated, is adequate for the staging of a large track and field meet such as the in tercollegiate. In 1920 the western conference track and field meet was held on Ferry field and big ten teams found every facility for the proper conduct of the meet. The Michigan cinder track, which is one of the best and fastest in the country, has a 220 yard straightaway for the dashea and hurdles, a quarter-mile track with only one turn,- and six lanes can be made in the track. . played before the regular season opens April 2. Branch Rickey, manager of the Cardinals, and Bob Quinn of the Browns, announcing the decision to abandon the series, declared today that it was done to have the teams in better condition for championship races of the American and National leagues when the bell rings. 'In former years officials" of the clubs asserted that the clubs exerted themselves unnecessarily in the seven-game spring series and that when the early games of the season were played the teams were not in the best physical shape and their baseball spirit apparently was dulled. The American batterymen will de part for their southern training camp February 22, the other players fol lowing March 4. The Nationals leave the latter part of February.

GARDNER TO START HMNEB TO CUPTJUN STANFORD RUNNERS lira EVENS COiilSWEEK Pink Gardner, phenomenal mlddle wcicht, who meets Ted Thye In the main event of the wrestling show at the Ileilig theater Wednesday night, will start working out this afternoon at the Armory, lie arrived this morning on the steamer Rose City. Gardner took the slower trip on ac count of the benefits received from the standpoint of condition. It is Gardner's plan to have several of the local middle weiglrts work out with him and the Krappler who uses the wrist-lock will be his favorite partner, as he wants tu be sure of his defense for the deadly hold. Jack Larry, who is one of the fastest men In these jiarts, will work on Gardner with the hopes of 'improving h's speed. The New York boy is nat urally fast and always works at a furious pace, but is not going to take any chances on being slow when he meets Thye. Gardner is a very practical and thorough worker in training. He never misses an angle to get himself in shape for his matches. He always makes a thorough study of his oppo nent's styles and then tries to de velop an attack for that particular type that he uses. Ted Thye has a great deal to say about the coming match and does not hesitate to state that he expects one of the toughest matches he has ever had. Thye says: "This fellow Gard ner as far as 1 can find out is a regu lar cyclone. 1 have always liked to meet these boys who come tearing in 'and keep me busy. I don't think that my wristlock will be as effective against him as It has been with many of my opponents although I do ex pect to use it to advantage. Of course Gardner's speed and wonderful build make it rather hard to apply a wrist lock effectively but I have met a good many tough ones and have yet to find one that 1 couldn't use my fa vorite hold on. Of course I expect to win. I have never stepped on the mat yet without confidence but I have likewise been disappointed." A double wind-up will fill out the show. Hasanta Singh, the well-known Hindu middleweight, has been signed to meet Kichard Kanthe. Kanthe will be remembered as the first man to wrestle Ted Thye when Thye was ap pearing here as the masked marvel a good many years ago. The second wind-up will see Jack Larry of El J'aso,' Tex., In action against George Anderson of Salem. These boys are fast workers and experienced mat men. Both matches will go for one fall or a decision with a 15-minute limit. The first bout will start at 8:30 sharp. C'arl Freilinger will referee. The wrestling card which was to' have been held at the Labor temple next Friday has been postponed to Thursday, February 9. This will be the first wrestling show held In Port land under the new White rules which call for the match to be run off by rounds instead of the usual time limit. Moose Norbeck and Beeson. the wrestling motorman of Sellwood car barns, will tangle limbs in the main event, while Oscar Butler and Eli Lux meet in the semi-windup. There will be two other preliminaries. Basanta Singh, Hindu grappler, and Oscar Butler, Portland middleweight, will wrestle the main event of a grappling card to be put on Tuesday, February 7, at the Woodman of the World hall.

On night recently while the coaches and graduate managers of the leading colleges were at New York for the N. C. A. A. confab some of the old timers became reminiscent. The best tale of the session referred to Glenn Warner and his famous In dians. Just before the famous ath letic expert left for Pitt he booked a dual track meet with Lafayette. When the day of the clush arrived the La fayette manager hurried to a train to meet the Indian squad. All he found was Warner, accompanied by Jim Thorp and Tew an in a. his two leading performers. An inquiry con cerning the whereabouts of the other Itedskin entries produced the amaz ing reply from Warner that they had been left back at Carlisle. Loiter in the day Lafayette fans realized that Thorp and his mate were as com plete a team as any college could hope for. While Tewanina was land ing first place In all the long dis tance running events Thorpe was making a clean sweep of the sprints and field numbers.

YALE EHS M SHELL ELI COXTIMES TO GO ABROAD FOK ItACIXG IiOAT. Kiiftlish Motliocls and Kqulpnient netuincd by School Despite Coaching Change. NKW YORK. Jan. 28. When Yale meets Pennsylvania on the Housa tcnic. April 16, in the inaugural of the 1922 college rowing season, its varsity will be seated In a new Eng lish shell now in transit from abroad. Coming with it will be another of slightly dissimilar type, the two to be used for light and heavy crews. Which would seem to indicate that although Yale has changed coaches It has no immediate intention of chang ing systems. The blue has clung to the ,English shell since the first mo ment of Guy Nickalls' regime some eight years ago, and even though Nickalls has passed on, his successor, James Corderry. Is a Briton, and quite naturally fancies English methods and equipment not a little. It has long been a moot question in thia country as to whether the Amer ican or English shell was the su perior for racing purposes, but just as long as there is any doubt about the matter Yale will string along with its British equipment. Ex-Coach Nickalls, before. the Penn Yale race at Derby last April, was asked why he preferred the English shell and oars, Irrespective of his training and nationality. "Because they are so much cheaper than your American shells," was the reply. 'I can go abroad today and get equipment for half the price you pay here, even after paying transpor tation expenses. In addition. I re gard the English boat as being the Ideal racing craft." That being the case, it is not sur prising that Corderry, who was Nick alls' assistant, and Yale itself is con tent to use the foreign craft, particul arly since the British claims as to its speed have never been definitely disproved. Nickalls had his years of success and failure at Yale just as all coaches do, and the fact that Cor derry was able to take over 'the 1921 varsity two. weeks before race day and beat Harvard after Nickalls re signed is not precisely a deprecation of either English methods or equip ment. It may be remembered also that Vivian Nickalls. brother pf Guy, iad his crew run one-two at Poughkeep sie hya first year at Pennsylvania. Crew practice at Yale is being con ducted Indoors under -the supervision of the two Corderrys.

All seem to feel particularly optimistic and the work is progress ing so satisfactorily that Jim Cor derry expects to have made up his mind flefinitely as to the personnel of his first varsity before the men are sent outdoors on or about March 1. George Corderry is superintending the compulsory rowing of the fresh man class and feels that much of the 1925 material is promising. Sport News and Comment Many experts do not think Charlie Paddock, world's champion short distant runner, will succeed' in lowering any rec ords should he attempt to run the quarter mile. Those who saw Paddock run to a record in the 3U0-yard run last season Hay he finished purely on his gameness and It wa all he could do to cross the finishing- line. With 140 yards more to go, they can't figure how Paddock will turn the trick.- Ktrksey, the Stanford sprinter, tried the 440 last year but found himself unecfual to the task. San Jose. Cal.. will be the scene of the opeping of the 1022 track and field season on February 22, when the mid-winter carnival Is held. On the same date the Pacific association holds Its novice cross country run. Several colleges are repre sented. We have failed to find a single sup porter for a return match between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier. Demp sey says he Is willing to go abroad to meet Carpentier again. The French box ing writers are opposed to it. They are satisfied that Carpentier is not physically able to cope with the bigger, stronger and more rugged American. Not an American sports writer favors the propo sition. Just a year ago at this time. Christy Mathewson, most popular of all pitchers, was fighting for life against tuberculosis. Christy still is with us, and the crisis seems to have been passed. Always cheerful and always hopeful, he continues slowly to get a little stronger. He has not been forgotten in his extremity, as many thousands of dollars have been sub scribed by friends through benefit games by big league teams. Every, now and then word comes from the Adirondack mountain retreat where he is making his fight. It always Ut a word of cheer and hopefulness. The world loves a gaote fighter, no matter what the circumstances. Coopers Going Some at Princeton. Another athletic family has arisen at Princeton to take a place along side of the famous Foes, John C. Cooper. Jr., '23. of the Tigers' cham pionship soccer team, who has been elected to lead the Nassau kickers in 1922, s a son of John C. Cooper, 'S3, one of the greatest baseball play ers ever turned out at the Jersey dia mond. The elder Cooper played short stop on the varsity nines of 1884 and 1885. FORMIDABLE VANCOUVER, WASH, h 7 w BY MALCOLM MacLEAX. CHICAGO, Jan. 28. (Special.) r Tears ago Harry Hazelhurst, then swimming instructor of the Hamilton club, Chicago, sprung an innovation. In an attempt to interest all the regu lar, rather than the athletic, members in swimming as a means of exercise, he inaugurated a tournament "in which the entrants were- supposed to swim a hundred miles in sf year. 'That fellow Hazelhurst's crazy," said some of the members. "He's go ing to kill off some of us old fellows." Yet a member around 40 years old named R. L. Duran, swam that 100 miles in nine days and captured the contest. It was -a go-as-you-please event, in which a member could aViim 100 yards or ten miles a day. Hazelhurst is an all-around man in the swimming game. He was coach of the Great Lakes aquatic team for 21 months during the war, having many world champions on his squad, including McDermott, McGillivray, Wallen and others. The real test is to have the av erage citizen, the regular member of a club, get the exercise in swimming," said Hazelhurst, who now is instruc tor at the Chicago Athletic associa tion. "In co-operation with the stunts committee of the Cherry Circle tankers, we have worked out a yearly schedule which has attracted .65 into competing. They average around 50 years in age. "The contest is" for 3000 points, in cluding all sorts and manners of swimming and diving. In the 40-yard swim, for example, a man gets 30 points for making it in 55 seconds and can work himself up to 100 points by registering the distance in 27 sec onds. And so -on in all the different events. "One of the tankers. K.' P. Swatek, now has 2995 points out of the pos sible 3000, showing he is nearly per fect in the contest. Mr. Swatek, a regular member, still holds world rec ords in underwater swimming. An other of the tanKera, Harold Dyren forth, swam half a mile a day for a year, and covered 183 miles in 1921. It is amazing how much physical good the -business and professional man, who slips away for an hour or so a day. can get out of a tournament of this character." Harold ' Baker of Australia, a brother of the famous "Snowy," gained quite a name for himself as a boxing referee. He inaugurated the "cuff system" of officiating, carrying a piece of a pencil In his hand and using one of his white cuffs for one of the boxers and the other for the rival scrapper. Larney Lichtensteln, manager of many boxers, tells how he first ran up against Baker's style. Larney had a number of boys touring Australia, among them being Jimmy Clabby, a famous middleweight of his day, and a champion. Clabby fought Jeff Smith and thought he had his man beaten until Baker raised Jeff's arm in tolien of victory. "I rushed into the ring and de manded how he could give that kind of a decision," says Larney. "Baker pulled off his cuffs and ex hibited them to me. 'Thrts is Smith's cuff,' said Baker, showing one that had about '600 little pencil marks on it, and this is Clabby's exhibiting one with about 300. I threw up both hands and had nothing further to say." , There was quite an argument some time ago regarding Billy Sunday, the evangelist, and it was left to Charles Comiskey of th-e White Sox, who .played ball at the same time Billy din in the old days. "Is it true that Sunday never played baseball on Sunday?" one of the spokesmen asked. Comiskey nodded his head. "He did not play ball on Sunday, nor did anybody else," replied the Sox boss. "There was no Sunday ball then." ANN ARBOR TO INVITE MEET Michigan Would Like to See Inter collegiate Amateur Athletes. ANN ARBOR, Mich.. Jan. 28. Ac ceptance of an invitation from the University of Michigan by the Inter collegiate Association wof Amateur Athletes of America to hold its an nual track and field meet at Ann Ar bor in 1923 would mean that the af fair would be staged in the west for the first time. That the issuance Of such an invitation is under advisement by the Michigan Athletic association has been admitted by Coach Fielding H. Yost, athletic director, but he de clared no action had yet been taken in the matter. Michigan is declared by Coach Yost to be the logical place for holding HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL MACHINE. -..'- ..I.;-.'- rv n. vasw r-w California Tennis Association Tries to Get Competition for Shrine Convention. The California Lawn Tennis asso ciation has invited William Tilden and Vincent Richards to participate In the Pacific coast tennis champion ships at Berkeley in June. The ex act date of the event will be set at the annual meeting of the association in March. If convenient or Tilden and Richards, the dates probably will be set for the week of the annual convention of the Shriners. Tilden has played in exhibition matches on the Pacific coast before, but this would be his first competi tion in championship play. Richards' acceptance of the invitation is keen ly desired by coast officials and the public. With- these two stars and Bill Johnston. I'cck Griffin, Willis Davis, Roland Roberts, the Kinsey brothers, John Strachan 'and. others, this year's tournament would rank in high-class players with any tour nament in the country. Immediately after the singles play at Berkeley the competing stars will go to Los Angeles for the Pacific coast sectional doubles. The' winners of this event will be sent east as the representative doubles team of Cali fornia. Robert and Howard Kinsey .won last year and at present are looked on as "repeaters" this year. The brothers have decided definitely to go east for the various tourna ments and the national doubles. As usual, this coast will be well represented in the eastern tourna ments. To date Bill Johnston has not made a decided answer as to whether he will go east, but it is thought certain that he will be ready with his suitcase and rackets to board the limited for New York. Roland Roberts once more will be seen in eastern play. He was unable to make the trip last season, but will be a sure starter this year. Willis Davis, another brilliant coast player, also will invade the east. Little Helen' Wills, who won the national junior last year and other wise made fame for herself against the seniors, probably will be on hand to defend her Junior title. Officials of the tennis association are urging the child to make the trip? Helen Baker, who played in the 1920 east ern tournaments, is also considering another crack at the eastern stars. It sne goes east she will team with Helen Wills in the doubles. The pair are the present coast women's dou bles champions. MAJORS PICK .SPRING CAMPS Philadelphia Athletics Only Team Hunting Training Quarters, Every major league team except the Philadelphia Athletics has picked a 1922 training camp. The Athletics were at Lake Charles, La., last sea son, but won't return there, and a report that they would get in con dition at Montgomery, Ala., was de nied the other day by Conne Mack. The final selections as made are as follows. American league Yankees, New Orleans; Indians, Dallas, Texas; Browns, Bogalusa, La.; Washington Senators, Tampa, Fla.; Red Sox, Hot Springs, Ark.; Detroit Tigers, Au gusta, Ga.; White Sox,.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26. Midget Smith, Harlem bantamweight, is con templating a trip abroad, according to 'his manager, Harry Neary. The purpose of the proposed trans-Atlantic journey by the little Harlem boxer is to force Johnny Buff, world's bantamweight titleholder, into a championship match. Buff is due to sail for England today for a tour of 16 weeks in London. Neary, on behalf of Smith, has sought to induce Buff to defend his title here against the Harlemite be fore sailing, but the Jersey City vet eran has declined offers ranging up tc (35,000. Failing in his efforts to secure a title struggle before Buff's departure. Neary declared yesterday re had determined upon a trip to Eng land for Smith for the purpose or pressing the latter's campaign for a title struggle. WO . .'. " v BT PHIL NEER. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Palo Alto, Cal., Jan. 28. (Special.) Flint Hanner. one of the best Javelin oss ers developed on the coast, a member of the Olympic games track team and present holder of the intercollegiate javelin throw championship, was elected captain of the Cardinal track sters this week to succeed Kinney Wright, star quarter-miler. Hanner has performed on Stanford teams for three seasons and has been a point winner at every meet in which he has participated. The track squad of 40 men was called together for the election by Ceach Templeton at the Woodslde home of Sam McDonald, veteran grounds keeper, who prepared a big barbecue. Hanner was chosen skip per of the oval artists by vote of the entire squad. The custom in the past has been to limit voting to letter men. Hanner will lead one of the strongest track teams Stanford has produced in several years. Morris Kirksey. Sudden, Carrey and Comstock are all tried men in the dashes. The hurdle events will be somewhat weakened by the absence of Jess Wells. Portland track marvel, who scored the highest number of points ever tallied by an individual in a California-Stanford meet. Tem pleton has developed several men from last season's string who worked under Wells and have good possibili ties for snaring points. The only noticeably weak- link in the Cardinal lineup is its lack of distance men, but the redoubtable "Dink" Is work ing hard to overcome that. Meyers, an ex-Washington high star of Port land, who was placed among the leaders in the annual cross-country meet with California. Is doing well in the mile and two-mile runs. On the resignation of Jack Patrick, football captain, as student member of the board of athletic . control, J. Ken Lilly of Roseburg. Or., was se lected to fill his unexpired term until the spring elections. Lilly is a base ball player of ability. He was two summers with the New York Giants.

In the opening of the 1922 soccer season. Coach Harry Maloney's Car dinal team defeated the Barbarians in San Francisco 5 to 0. In. the first half rtither team could put the ball through the goal posts and ten min utes of the second period had passed before the Cardinal machine started its drive for five successive tallies. Al Masters, who learned the rudi ments of the game at Washington high, was in the lineup part of the time and made a creditable showing-. During the ten-day holiday period at Easter the Cardinal soccerites will invade British Columbia to play the strongest Canadian teams. They will try to- revenge the defeat of the Stan ford Rugby 15 in the Christmas holi days. If Masters continues bis stride h6 will undoubtedly be one of those making the tour. March 11 'has been set by Coach Ernst Brandsten for the first invi tational swimming meet under the auspices of the coast conference asso ciation to be held on the coast. It will take place in the Encina pool at Stanford. This meet will bring to gether the best collegiate ewimmers of California and will help the sport all along the coast. ' Invitations have been sent to Cali fornia, the Olympic club, St. Mary's college, Santa Clara university, the Neptune club and various aquatic or ganizations. The events on the pro gramme are the 50 and 100-yard dashes. 100-yard breast stroke, diving and relay races. Two entrants from each college will be allowed in an event. Glenn Warner, the famous football mentor at the University of Pitts burg, who has lately come into local prominence as probable successor to Gene Van Gent as head football coach at Stanford, visited the campus dur ing the week-end. He devoted much of his time with the board of athletic control and was entertained at sev eral banquets in his honor. Warner is one of the big men of the football coaching profession, but is under con tract with Pittsburg until 1924. It seemed evident that Warner would accept a position at Stanford when his contract expires in the east, but whether the board of control will tie itself to a contract for the Interim is gravely questioned. Coach Warner was pleased with the athletic facilities and football m terial here. A smoker in his honor at the Stanford union gave tlje foot- Daw men an oppormniiy 10 meet mm and glean some of his fundamental tactics. The new stadium and basket ball pavilion drew the attention of Coach Warner, who said they were comparable with the best In the coun try. Warner returned to the east by way of Los Angeles Tuesday, but did not conclude a contract with the board. - Johnny Couch, star pitcher for the Seals and ex-Cardinal pitcher, who has been assisting, to develop mound artists here, has been traded to the Cincinnati Reds In return for four Piayers who Join the Seals this spring.

The St. Louis major league baseball teams look forward to making a better showing than they did last year, when they finished in third place. Even the pennants are not as remote as in former years, in the opinion of the clubs. In order to have the Browns and Cardinals get off to a flying start tho officials of both teams have elim inated the annual spring series be tween the two nines for the city championship.

The University of Washing ton is on the list of institutions with which the University of Hawaii Is dickering fnr its Christmas holiday tames here next football season. The University of Oregon was the visitor this Christmas. Negotiations also are in progress with the University of Idaho and the University of Arizona. In dealing with the University of Washington. It is understood that the local varsity also is making a pro posal, provided the Vikings don't want to come, to the -eastern eleven tl-at plays at Seattle the first Satur day in December. Penn State played In Seattle this year and the Idea of the island university Is to work through the University of Washington and make the western trip even more at tractive to the easterners. The plan would .be to have the eastern college eleven which plays In Seattle early in December embark at Portland oraAstoria for Honolulu: the local varsity paying its expenses from Seattle to Honolulu and return to San Francisco, from which point to the cast Seattle would pay expenses. Scotty Schuman, manager of the Town team, which finished second In the local senior football league, is aiso planning to bring one of the minor California college teams, prob ably St. Mary's of Oakland, here for a series of games about Christmas time. Football is drawing so well in Hawaii that such attractions can now be sup ported. Gate receipts from the Ore gon games totaled $15,000. At the Army-Navy game here Jan uary 16. on a Monday, total attend ance was 20.O00. Fully 8000 soldiers from Schofield and 2O00 sailors from Pearl Harbor were present besides a big turnout of civilian fans.

Never before has such Interest been shown in Indoor events and Madison Sauare Garden undoubtedly will be packed for the Millrose games. A choice lot of the country's greatest middle-distance men, or really a mix ture of quarter-mllers and, half mllcrs, will compete In the Millrose 600 to see which can cover the com promise distance most quickly. Prob ably more than one man will get In-, side of one 4uinute and 14 seconds, the time which Tom Campbell made at the MorniiiKside games a week or two ago. That was only a third of a second .behind the record. When It Is taken Into consideration that Camp bell was pocketed, it will be seen that he might have broken the record there if he had had better luck. Men to Be Picked. In the Millrose 600 the contestants are all picked scratch men. so that there will not be any of this struggle Ip. getting through a field of long markers. The runners will be allowed to wear spikes on their shoes, which Is really essential In going out after a record on a board floor. The turns will be well banked and, unless the men are so bunched as to swing them wide, there ouprht not to be accidents or fouling. If Eby takes part, as ex pected, there are many who believe that his depth of chest measurement and his great courage will enable him to put over a rushing finish that none of the others could meet. Thos who saw Tom Campbell fin ish at Philadelphia last year and also saw him work In the international at the Harvard stadium are sure it wll take something more than even Eby's finish to check Tom In the last struggle for the tape. At any rate. It should be "a heartibreaker" If they come down the finish together. Stevenson la Clever. There is another man who showed great work last year in the national championship when he carried off the quarter in :48 3-5. That is Stevenson of Princeton. He Is a clever runner and has a fine stride. Helffrich or Penn State, who took the national 880 out on the coast, Is a good performer and will give any of them a hot fin ish. Thero Is a story that Iave Cald well, the old Cornelian, who won the race In 1916 and 1919, will compete. He has a heart that will pump when It is needed, as has been demonstrated on more than one occuslon. Sumner probably will bo sent on from Syra cuse by Tom Keane, and he Is danger ous, as Is also John Sellers, the New York Athletic club entry Those who go to tho games will have also, in addition to this 600-yard event, a chance to see that long limbed star, Allen Woodrlng. In the 300-yard dash, and Syracuse's cross country captain, Smith, Is likely to be entered In the 1000-yard run. The college mile relay will have the champions, Syracuse, and also Penn, Columbia, Cornell and Prince ton. In Boston games Dartmouth hopes to reverse the situation of last year, when Syracuse won.
