HAUGEN, AMERICAN SKIER,
CAPTURES CLOSING EVENT
Omtvedt, Member of U. S'. Team, Is Seriously
Injured—Yanks Bow to Canadians in Hockey
Match—Scoring Changes Advocated.
B.r I lie Associated Prvss.
CHAMONIX, February 4.—Norway vyon the Olympic winter sports.
Anders Haugen of Minneapolis, American national champion,
led the field in the final event—the ski-jumping contest—today
with a jump of fifty meters.
Ragnar Omtvedt of Grand Beach, Mich., member of the American
skiing team, suffered a dislocated knee and internal injuries of a serious
but not necessarily dangerous character.
Canada jumped from the bottom to ninth position by her 6-to-l vic
tory over the American hockey team yesterday.
The distances in the ski jumping
event were:
Anders Haugen, U. S. A., 50 meters;
Tharas, Norway, 49 meters; Bonna,
Norway, 49 meters; Landvlk, Norway,
44Vi meters; Haug. Norway. 44Vi me
ters; Nilsson, Sweden, 44 meters;
Wende; Czechoslovakia, 44 meters;
Lemoine Batson, U. S. A., 43Vi meters;
Jacobson. Sweden, 43Vi meters; Harry
Hein, U. S. A.. 41 Vi meters.
As the style of the jumper was
taken into account, however, the
ranking of the contestants probably
will not be kntwn before tomorrow.
After the jumping event Thams
made an exhibition jump of 57 Vi me
ters. t
The competitors in the jumping
events later held an 18-kilimeter race.
Game Im Extremely Hough.
The American team went down with
flying colors yesterday, when the ref
eree, Paul Loicq of Belgium, blew his
whistle at the end and the sixtieth
minute was the roughest hockey
struggle ever fought out in Europe.
The Americans were stumbling from
fatigue.
The Canadians fully realized they
had been through a real hockey
match, but the indomitable courage,
brilliant individual play and uncanny
stick handling of the Americans could
not prevail against the smooth clockr
like combination work of the sextet
from the Dominion.
There was some claim that the Ca
nadians scored three of their goals
from off side and that 3 to 1 in the
score represented in reality the re
spective merits of the team. But this
was not the referee's view of it.
Small Drury and Abel starred for
the United States. No one stands out
prominently among the Canadians:
that is why they won. The Canadian
team was a well oiled machine. Wat
son's name may appear oftener than
those of his colleagues in the scoring
column, but in each instance he was
merely the last link In the combina
tion, as Smith. McCaffery to Watson,
or Munro, Smith to Watson, and into
the net.
* Bone Score in Bong Ran.
On the other hr.nd, Drury, who
•cored the lone goal for the United
Slates, did so after -a single-handed
run down the ice, which ended suc
cessfully. unlike many other attempts.
There was much clever handling of
the sticks and artful dodging by the
Americans, but Munro and Ramsay
*)f the Canadians smothered a ma
jority of the tries.
There was no love lost between the
rival teams: that was evident from
the moment play began. This was
partly due, it was said, to the state
ment of one of the Canadians several
days ago that the United States would
be defeated by ten or twelve goals.
The game had not proceeded more
than two minutes when Watson was
bleeding from the nose and Rice was
stretched out by the stick in Smith’s
hand.
The line-up of the match was as
follows:
Tailed States, Positions. Canada.
Lacroix Goal Cameron
Small Bight defense Ramsay
Abel Left defense Mure
Drury Center Smith
Bioe Right wine McCaffery
McCarthy Left wing Watson
.Swiss Win in Bobsled.
In the bobsleigh competition Swit
zerland was first, with Great Britain
second. The time for the Swiss team
for the four descents down the 1.444-
meter chute was 5 minutes 45 34-100
seconds, averaging nearly forty miles
an hour. Belgium was third, France
fourth. Capt. Horton's British team
fifth, Italy' sixth.
May Change Scoring Plan.
Complete revision of the methods
of scoring the winter sports of the
Olympic games for future years seem
ed likely to develop from an exchange
of views and suggestions by the dele
gates of seventeen nations, partici
pants in this winter’s sports, who
talked over the subject at a banquet
last night, presided over by Baron
Pierre de Coubertln. president of the
International committee.
The baron came to Chamonix espe
cially to see the Americans and
Canadians in the final hockey match.
Once the game was over the two
teams buried the hatchet and Capta.
Monroe of the Canadian team and
Capt. Small of the Americans cor
dially drank each other’s health at
the feast.
The hockey results were the sub
ject of speeches of the evening, and
all the delegates except the Swedish
expressed the desire that the points
awarded for hockey be raised above
those for other events, such as fancy
Skating, bob sleighing and curling.-
Baron de Coubertln agreed to place
the question before the next interna
tional meeting. Some of the speak
ers put forward the idea of count
ing 50 points for the hockey final
and others suggseted counting, elim
ination games at 10 points to the
winners and the semi-finals at 25
points.

Psychology That Killed a Bird
TN no game does psychology play
t so important a part as In golf. I
recall one instance in my career on
rhe links which provides a peculiar
illustration of this truth, which all
golfers will admit.
It occurred on the Magnolia Coun
try Club course at Manchester-by
ihe-Sea, Massachusetts, eight years
ago. My partner was a Chicagoan,
whose name, if I remember correctly,
tras Harris.
Playing one hole, a 180-yard affair,
calling tot a midiron from the tee,
• big, fat woodcock flew down on the
green, alighting Just in front of the
flag as I started my back swing. It
was looking for worms, I suppose.
"I'll bet you five dollars you can't
hit that bird," said Harris.
"I’ll take It,” I said.
The ball was high and on a direct
line toward the flag. It came down
with a bang, struck the woodcock
Nguareiy in the middle of the back
and broke it.
The ball slopped dead, right at the
cup. 1 sank it. for a two.
Lots of folks will.say that this shot
was lucky. Without conceit, it
seems to me it was more than that.

THREE SCHOOL FIVES
AFTER THIRD PUCE
With Eastern one game in the lead
and W r estern strongly Intrenched in
second place, quints of (Central, Tech
and Business are expected to stage
a stirring battle for third position in
the series.'
Should the Manual Trainers down
Central tomorrow In the second por
tion of the double-header at Central
Stadium they will tie the Blue and
White tossers for third place.
\ Business, which encounters Eastern
in the first game, can hardly expect
to turn In a victory, but it looks to
its game with Tech Saturday to add
more laurels.
Coach Guyon t>f Eastern, who has
been playing his reserve tossers in
some of the series games, probably
will take no chances with the Stenog
raphers. He was Impressed with
Business’ stunning victory over Cen
tral last Saturday.
Central eked out a 20-to-18 victory
when it last met Tech In the Sferies.
The Manual Trainers have shown con
siderable improvement lately, how
ever, and they are apt to take the
scalp of the Centralites. Closer guard
ing and a short passing game have
marked Tech’s play In Its last two
starts. Against Central this method
of attack may prove successful.
Central’ll game with Catholic Uni
versity freshmen tonight at Brook
land should uncork some lively
doings. The yearlings have offered
stiff oppostiion to several high
schools thus far, and should make the
Blue and White step lively. ,
Goncngn will Invade Alexandria to
morrow for a game with the high
school of that place. Since their vic
tories over Leonard Hall and St.'
Francis Xavier the I street tossers
have become confident of showing the
way to the Virginia basketers.

three straight sets in the final round
of the tournament at the Tennis and

13. 18—13, 15—5.
Palace basketers are apt to en
counter stiff opposition, too, judging
by the manner in which the Man

baskets with machlne-like rapidity,
the Manhattans led, 21 to 6, at half

What is the most important sin

Answered by
NELS NORGREN,
Coach of basket ball. University of
Chicago. Famom for the speed and
Ichtliis determination of bla teams.
♦* ♦ *
The most important single ele
ment in basket ball defense is the
problem of covering and “sticking
to” his opponent by each player on
the. defense until a player of the
defensive team gets possession of
the ball. This point of defensive
play is the most difficult to teach
forwards and centers, because they
always have the impulse of offense
foremost in their minds and do not
care to be bothered with the prob
lem of defense. With the guards
ithe defensive idea is foremost, and
they more readily learn to cover
and “stick to” their opponents.
So many players, especially those
beginning their college play, think
[it sufficient to go after the op
ponent with the ball, forcing him
to pass to his teammate. . They then
turn their attention to the ball,
neglecting the player who has been
forced to pass. As a result, this
I neglected player may get into the
[play again unhampered. In fact, a
player’s defensive work is only half
finished when he forces an oppo
nent with the ball to pass it. He
must stay with'the' opponent until
the defense team gets possession of
the ball.

DAWSON QUITS NEBRASKA
BECAUSE OF ILL HEALTH
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.
NEW YORK, February 4.—ln justice to Fred Dawson’s professional
reputation, many of his friends feel that his resignation as coach
at the University of Nebraska should be placed in the proper light.
A certain delicacy of feeling on the part of the authorities at Lincoln
seems to have given the affair an element of mystery which has not been
warranted by the facts.
The truth Is that Dawson’s de-'
parture from Nebraska was due to
his falling- health. After the last
game of the season he practically
collapsed, and. although he is away
on a leave of absence, it seems cer
tain that Dawson's health, his very
life, depends upon his remaining in
the far west and taking care of him
self.
Dawson’s record at Nebraska in
coaching foot ball and serving as dean
of men has been splendid in every
respect and his departure is regard
ed at Nebraska as a calamity.
Fielding Tout celebrates his pro
motion to a full professorship by
demonstrating that he is a man of no
small ide/.s. He wants a nafatorium.
not with one pool, but with four, each
pool to be, devoted to special use.
Then he wants a large skating rink
and a foot ball stadium, of course,
much larger than the present one.
These Yost sets forth as urgent needs.
There are other lesser needs, many
of them, he says.
Here fa Knnte Hockne’s latest good
story: The team was’in the dressing
room preparing to meet a strong op
ponent. The day was rainy, the grid
iron a mass of mud. So Rockne had
a large bag of resin scattered upon
the floor and told the players to
smear It all over their hands and
legs and arms.
Among the players was on© whom
we will call Murphy, a third-string
man, who had not yet come near win
ning his letter. While the players
were reslning themselves, one of the
regulars saw Murphy seated In the
midst of the piled up resin.
"Hey there,’’ cried the regular,
"what are you putting that resin on
the seat of your pants for?”
"Why,” said Murphy looking up
with a solemn expression, “to keep
myself from slipping off the bench.”

BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
In the early sixties, after each
game of base ball, sandwlchies, beer,

Fins PLAY FOOT BALL.
Foot ball is played by natives of
the Fiji Islands. The players never

England has 748 golf ronnra,
Wales, 44; Ireland, 93, and Scotland,
368. *
Twenty-six mile* and 385 yards Is
the correct distance for a marathon
race.
1 est fraction of an inch means the
| loss of the match.
It is instinct for a man to get
up when knocked down. Half
the times a boxer is knocked
down he is in a dazed condition
and suffers no pain. Willard, for
instance, was beaten in a terrible
I manner by Dempsey at Toledo,
I but he said after the fight that he
j was so dazed that Jack’s blows

regulars, but his place has been taken
Iby a player touted as highly capable.
The Carolinians are starting their most
important road trip of the campaign
and would like nothing better than vic
tories over the Brooklanders and the
College Parkers at the outset. But they
will have to battle for them.
Georgetown does not know Just what
it is to encounter in the Carson-Newman
five. Nothing has been heard here of
the team that holds forth in Jefferson ;
City, Tenn. Occasionally, however, 1
formidable combinations emerge from |
the Volunteer state, so the Hilltoppers 1
have primed for the tilt. It will be
Georgetown's first engagement since
meeting with the reverse at Navy a
week ago Saturday.
Maryland and George Washington
probably are in for much trouble tomor
row night. Even though Catholic Uni
versity may take much out of North
Carolina, the latter probably will have
enough left to keep the new College
Park team busy. George Washington
showed little against Gallaudet Satur
day and if its opponent tomorrow night
is anything like a basket ball team the
Hatchetites are not apt to end their
long losing streak. This certainly does
not seem to be George Washington’s
year for the floor game.
Ten Catholic University players and
Coach Fred Rice will leave tomor
row morning for Newark. The- Red
and Black may use second-stringers
mostly against New-ark Athletic Club
tomorrow night, for Coach Rice is
more than anxious that his regular
team make a creditable showing
against West Point Wednesday. A
Catholic University victory over
Army would be- startling, indeed.
Holding the Pointers to a close score
would add considerably to the Brook
landers’ laurels.
It is unfortunate that Gallaudet
, does not possess adequate facilities
for the entertainment of basket ball
teams, for the Kendall Greeners have
a quint capable of tackling fives bet
ter than most of those it has met.
With a larger court, Gallaudet would
be- able to arrange home-and-home
series with practically all of the top
• notchers of the south Atlantic sec
tion instead of getting just a few
games with the big fellows. The
Kendall Green team that took the
floor gainst George Washington Sat
urday night was a well-drilled one
and individually would compare fa
vorably with several college outfits
hereabout. In Boatwright and Rid
dle Gallaudet possesses a pair of
goal shooters remarkably capable.
Davis, too, seems a very dependable
forward, while the guards take care
of their duties in a splendid manner.
Three Georgetown runners will com
pete in the A. A. U. national junior
championships, in Buffalo, Saturday
night, one in the 300-yard event, an
other in the 600, and the third in the
1,000. Trials for the squad will be
held at the Hilltop Wednesday or
Thursday. The remainder of the Blue
and Gray trackmen will get daily
workouts in preparation for engage
ments next week. Further changes
In the relay team that won at Boston
i Saturday night are likely, some of
1 the men not coming up to expected
form. Heavy handicaps accorded
other contestants kept Capt. George
■ Marsters from a place in the open
■ mile at the Hub. The first three to
finish started from points well ahead
1 .of where Marsters toed the mark.
Consideration of applications for
the Georgetown foot ball coaching
job expected to be vacated by Jackie
, Maloney probably will be the chief
business of the university athletic
council at its meeting at the Hilltop
next Sunday. The council was to
have convened yesterday, but, as sev
eral of Its members could not attend,
postponement was ordered.

NEED OF FOOT BALL •
IS TO UPHOLD CODE
T.y the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 4.—A sug
gestion that college authorities can
and should correct dangers tha>
threaten college foot ball is contained
in the 1923 report of E. K. Hall of
Dartmouth, chairman of the foot ball
rules committee, to the National Col
j legiate Athletic Association.
I “If there are any dangers threaten *
j ing the prestige or good name of the
game,” he declared, "they are not. in
our opinion, of such nature that the;,
can be averted by a mere framing of
rules.”
Hall urged the National Collegial.
Athletic Association to work through
the academic and athletic officials
of the colleges.in upholding the foo:
ball code, stating that life apparently
unlimited increase in general interest
and support necessitated vigilance in
preserving the good name and integ
rity of the sport.
“The responsibility,” he continued,
"rests on the friends of this greatest
of academic sports to make certain, no.
only- that the game while being play
ed, is kept free from unfair and un
i sportsmanlike tactics, but that th. *
preparations for the foot ball seasoi
and the development of the teams an
equally free from anything which
savors of unfair competition and un
sportsmanlike tactics.
“The game itself is played in the
open and under the supervision of offi
cials who will not tolerate unfair tac-
tics. If the preparations for the sea- •
son and the building up of team: -
are likewise made in the open and
under supervision of academic offi
cials who will neither tolerate un
sportsmanlike practices or standards
In their own institutions by approv
ing schedules on which appear teams
whose first concern is having a strong
team and whose last concern Is how
they get it. the efforts of the rules
committee to make the game a god
one will bo powerfully supplemented.'
The rules committee lias put itself
on record as opposed now to making
any fundamental changes in regu
lating th© gridiron game.
