If. Wolff. INDIANAPOLIS. iF) American automobile race drlvern. led by Itllly Arnold, the champion, streak ed past mile-posu nine times dur ing tthe season Just ended to es tablish nine new records. Every one-mile dirt track mark from -three miles to 50 miles was erased by tho dust of the rushing, skidding wheeUi of Arnold's mount. "Wild Bill" Cummlngs, the mus tnehed youth from ilndianupolis; Frank Farmer, Langhorne, Pa., nnd "Shorty" Cantlon of Detroit,1, are the other American speed de mons who hung up new records. Kaye Don, driving his gigantic "Silver Bullet." over the hard sands at Daytona -Beach, Fla., covered five miles on a straight course nt an average speed of 151.623 miles per hour for an American record. It occurred on 'March 18. Arnold barely missed giving the boys something now to shoot at when he won the 500-mile race at Indianapolis, ' during which he drove only 68-100 of a mile slower per hour than the record of 101.13 set by iPeter DePaolo In 1925. It waa at Syracuse, N. Y.( Sep tember 6 that Arnold and Cum mings added to the track glory. New marks established by the champion wero for three miles, average 80.573 miles per hour; four miles, 80.982 per hour; five miles, '87.074 per hour; ton miles, KU.914 miles per hour; 25 miles, 85.405 mi lee per hour; 50 miles, l3.il 3 miles per hour. Cummlngs, who had trailed Ar nold up to that point in the same race, then ook command and whipped hy the 73-mile post at S3. 039 miles per hour for another American record on dirt tracks. Then along enmc Farmer to win the event with an average of 85.841 still another American mark. Cantlon's new record was for 4 cyllnder cars, and was 144.985 miles per hour over a measured mile straightaway on the dry Jake at Muroc, Cal., April 10. ytfr.A.LA.N GOULD ASSOCIATED PHESS SPORTS EDITOR Two of the blggewt shifts In football have turned out pretty well meaning tho shift that fient Dr. Clarence Spears from Minne sota to Oregon ns head coach and Capt. John J. McEwan from Ore gon to Holy Cross in the same role. Oregon had done very well under tho former Army All-America center, but wanted to make a change. So did McEwan, who drove a good bargain in auction ing 'off the remaining year of his contract and returned to the east. The captain celebrated by de veloping the , best eleven Holy Cross has had in a half dozen year. Employing tho Warner system, the Purple eleven plas tered Harvard, 27 to 0,- and bent its old rival, Boston College, for tho first time fdne.o 1924. On the Pacific coast, mean while, Spears kept his Oregon team on a level with Washington State in tho championship race until tho last big conference game. This resulted in an upset victory by Oregon State and Oregon then lost to St. Mary's by one point. LnsU year's team, under McEwan, lost only to Stanford and St. Mary's on the 'const, but dropped a post-season encounter to Flor ida nt Miami. It hns been a good year, too, for MnJ. Itulph Irvine Sasse and West Point. Sussp took over tho portfolio from lb f f J ones a nd performed tho difficult task of completely changing the Army system of play. The installation of tho Warner winchack style of attack proved so effective that tho Cadets were undefeated until they ran Into the Hough Riders of Notre Dame and suffered a one-point setback. Pennsylvania, on tho other hand, had ndltuppolntlng season under Its new head coacn, iim low Wrny. The Quakers lacked consistency. They beat Kansas and Georgia Tech handily but were put to ! rout hy Wisconsin nnd Noire Dame, besides losing to Cornell for the first time In seven years. Speaking of Cornell, the Pig Itcd force have enjoyed the most fruitful athletic year since the pre-war days when Pop Courtney Coached championship crews, Al Sharpe turned out great football teams and Jack Moakleys tract squads ruled tho cinder-paths. Cnrter Jim Wruy. the lthacans returned to power on the seas, capturing the Intercollegiate var sity race last June on Hudm. be sides carrying off Junior varsity honors nnd finishing second to Syracuse in the freshman crew contest. Moakley's track and field out fit tied Pennsylvania for Eastern Indoor honors and acquitted them selves creditably In the outdoor campaign. This fall, the lthacans dropped two close football decisions to Co. Inmbla nnd Dartmouth, but beat Princeton and closed the season with a long-souRhl victory over Penn at Franklin Field. The sea son Is n ouccess for Cornell, under any circumstances w hen Pennsyl vania can tie humbled in the Thanksgiving day classic.

The fundamentals of the game are the main issue. Francis Wallace's new book, "Huddle," adds a bright and en tertaining touch to the current lit erature on Knute Rockne and Notre Dame. Especially so because it is written by an able and enthusias tic young man who toted his type writer as far as any of his athletic contemporaries, the famous Four Horsemen o( 1922-24, carried the pigskin. Football's most dramatic mo ments of the past decade, or at least a large share of them, have been linked with the spectacular fortunes of Rockne and his "hoys." Wallace was one of them, although a non-comatnnt by force of circum stances rather than preference. Hotter known among his newspa per friends and associates as Frank Wallace, the author has set forth a vivid array of personalities in which Rockne is only thinkly dis guised as "Barney Alack."
