Foot Ball Officials Problem Puzzles : New Canoe Body Sends First Meet Here CENTRAL BOARD UNAIDED BY VARSITY GRID SESSION Coaches and Those Responsible for Play on Field Fail to Air Grievances Before Appointing Body—Hilltop Nine Scores. BY H. C. BYRD. HANDLING the problem of officials in foot ball is getting to take on some similarity to a Chinese puzzle, according to representatives of the central board on officials. In the cast, generally considered that part of the United States cast of Ohio and north of the Mason-Dixon line, officials for all foot ball con ' tests are designated by the central board, a small group organized for that special purpose. It has no authoritative power, and simply acts as a kind of central agent for colleges that desire it to obtain for them men to handle their games. Some of these colleges themselves agree on officials, and then see that the central board appoints the men agreed on; other colleges ask the central board to appoint men outright and accept the appointments with out question; others have the central board act as a third party when . no agreement can be reached. • Charges arc brounght that officials accept appointments then cancel them to accept other appointments not made by the central board but which carry with them larger fees. Col leges at times raise objections to of ficials for no apparent reason and the central board fails to see the reason find sticks to its original appoint ment. Also it is claimed that at times of ficials put in expense accounts that are entirely nut of all proportion to what their actual expenses should be. Complaints Are Many, Officials do not take time to study the rules and do not know them, colleges make no effort to see that ojcials are extended the courtesies of guests; coaches pan officials un-\, , necessarily. Officials get too much money for their work or not enough money, of ficials fail to call what they see, and so on ad infinitum almost goes the series of complaints lodged pro or con by one side or the other with the central board. Chairman Babbitt of the central board said at a meeting last Tuesday night “you do not realize of just how flimsy a texture the central board is woven nor how frail the base on which it stands.” and after listening '<> a year of complaints, objections, and counter objections it is small wonder that lie felt that way. Os course, both coaches and of ficials got up to voice their confidence in the central board and to speak a word of apnreciation of its work. And. as a matter of fact, the hoard has been doing good work, end under the circumstances has handled its job well. Considering everything, it truly is remarkable that the hoard i has functioned so effectively and with such little friction between the two parties, to which it acts as a kind of "go-between.” Huge Task for Board. < onsider just one thing the central board must do in preparation for next season: More than 300 men have applied to have their names placed on the list of accredited officials main , tained by the central board. Each of these men must have his foot ball record investigated and passed upon by at least three persons who must be coaches or already accredited of flcials. And whether or not to place any of the names of these three hundred on the list is something of a problem in ttsel., inasmuch as the board already has more than 600 names on its list, of whom only a few more than £OO received appointments to games last J* 1 ■- Are more officials needed on the ‘ist. Should new men be appointed * nr * some of the men already on the list not appointed to games last fall dropped? To get help in determining what to do in regard to some of these was why the central board asked the coaches and officials to get together last Thursday night at Philadelphia. Did the central board get help? it did not. If the coaches had been to gether at one place and the officials at another each party might have ex pressed itself freely about the other, but as it was the meeting sounded something like a mutual admiration Society. All Fear to Offend. V. ill the coaches say anything to offend the officials? They will not. ” ill the officials say anything to of • fend the coaches? Answer is the same as to previous question. Each depends upon the good will of the other. The officials’ names must be approved by the coach before he works in a game for that coach: and no coach intentionally or unintention ally desires to have an official work ing m a game for him who may feel in the least unkindly toward him. Human nature is human nature in • foot ball coaches and foot ball offi cials as well as in other men. Prob ably human nature is a little more human nature among foot ball men than elsewhere because they are closer to it. ' The central board must make its own deductions, ajid arrive at its own conclusions. At least that is what one gets as his opinion after sitting through two hours of discussion of the masters briefly referred to in the foregoing paragraphs. And that it has been able to maintain a place of integrity, strength and necessity a,rnonp the colleges and universities of the east is a sufficiently good cri ' terion of the success with which its work has been handled, even under trying conditions. Catholic University entertains Johns Hopkins University tomorrow at base ball. The Brooklanders understand that the Baltimoreans have a team of > only fair strength, but an exception ally good pitcher Maryland’s tennis team goes to An napolis tomorrow for a meeting with the Middies, and the Maryland Fresh man nine has as its guest the Balti more City College. Through some misunderstanding un known the North Carolina base ball team failed to make its appearance at College Park yesterday for the game it had scheduled there. No word was received from the Tarheels. • Georgetown “came back” with a vengeance in the base ball game at the Hilltop yesterday and walloped West Virginia 12 to 0. Kenneth Jones’ good pitching, backed by the heavy hitting of the Hilltoppers. was entirely too much for the Mountaineer nine. Jones yielded but six safeties and contributed a homer to his team's lot of fifteen hits off Titley and Tol tnan. Frederick and Murphy also slammed for the circuit. GOLF BODY’S INITIAL EVENT TO MRS. KNOX Mrs, H. A. Knox of Indian Spring won the first tournament under the auspioea of the new District Women’s Golf Association, held yesterday at the Chevy Chase Club, with a score ’ of 97, finishing with her handicap of 10, 1 up on par. More than a score of woman golfers participated in the tournament, with many of the local clubs represented. Second prize went to Mrs. J. M. Haynes of Columbia, who finished 3 down to par, with a handicap of 8, while Miss Susan Hacker of Chevy < ’base. with, a handicap of 12, finished 5 down to par. The fast oourae, however, works against good iron shots because the greens are fast to pitch to. Those /Vito know the course predict that a Score of 77 will win the qualifying medal In the tourney beginning to morrow, and assert Walter R. Tucker inan’s mark of 74 will not be broken during the tournament. SPORTS. LEADING LOCAL GOLFERS IN W. G. C. C.

April 29.—Vincent Richards, tennis star, has followed the example of William T. Tilden, 2d, and resigned from the American Da vis cup team, the national champitn announced here today. Tildtn made the announcement aft er receiving a telegram from Rich ards informing him of his action. In the same telegram Richards canceled his engagement to play in the mid dle stales clay court tournament at the Germantown Cricket Club here, owing to pressure of business. The player-writer rule of the United States Lawn Tennis Association is re sponsible for the resignation of Rich ards, as it was in the case of Tilden. NEW YORK. April 29.—Vincent Richards, tennis star, today confirmed a report that ho had resigned from the American Davis cup team.

WAVERLYS AND KNICKS LOOK TO LEAGUE OPENER WHEN Manager Frank Kersey of the Waverly Athletic Club sends his nine against the Knickerbockers Sunday in one of the opening games of the Independent League, he probably will call on W. A. Lusby, one of the cleverest hurlers hereabouts, to turn back the Georgetown nine. Blanchard will do the catching for Waverly. Wesley McDonald, who gained quite a reputation with the Peerless Athletic Club last year, will be held in reserve should Lusby falter. Vic Woolridge, pilot of the Knick erbockers. will give the mound as signment to Koss Fischer, who turned in a 6 to 4 victory over the Dread naughts of Alexandria Sunday. The Knickerbocker boxman held the Vir ginians down to five jingles and he is apt to offer Lusby a real mound duel. A1 Mills, Nick Panella and P. Y. Mesaink are three other flingers cor ralled by Manager Kersey. N. I* i Pixton also may do some hurling for | the Waverlys. Walter Hughes, Tony I Burns. Hernhardt, Eddie Behrle, i Joseph Tooraey, R. F. Hodges and I John Sweeney are striking for berths I in the infield, while Joe Tuccl, Wil |llam S. Mann, Arthur Morrison. Mor i ris Schultz and F. B.

A brisk drill will be the order for the Cherrydale Athletic Club today and Saturday at 5 o’clock on Clark’s Hill diamond. Eddie Foster will superintend the practice. Klated over their 26 to 10 victory over the Spalding Athletic Club, the Argyie Seniors now are casting about for other battles. P. M. Cook, at Colum bia 8094, is listing games. Coach Be saw of the Argyles has mustered a clever array of tosseis and he hopes to cut a swath In the senior division iof the Washington Base Ball and | Athletic Association series. B.

April 29.—Tex Rick ard is considering the promotion of professional competition among a group of tennis stars, possibly headed by William T. Tilden, national cham pion. Tilden and Vincent Richards, Davis cup player, whose exact status under the player-writer rule has not yet been determined, were mentioned. Tiklenaln Philadelphia said that he had not been approached by any offer from Ttx Rickard to play profession al tennis. "I have known for some time that a group of New York men have been waiting to jump in and finance such a movement,” the national champion said. "I had not heard Rickard’s | name used in connection with it until | last night, but I am not surprised. “Personally I do not favor it. I consider myself an amateur and would prefer to remain such even though I could probably treble my income by joining out-and-out professional ranks. “I feel there is a strong movement throughout the country to have the United .States Lawn Tennis Associa tion reconsider its action in banning tennis writers. If such a move goes through, 1 infinitely prefer to remain in amateur ranks despite the most alluring offer to give professional ex hibitions. I prefer to see tennis re main an amateur game and, unless professionalism is forced upon us, 1 will remain an amateur as I consider 1 have remained one.” TILDEN AND THREE JAPS WIN AT NETS PHILADELPHIA, April 29.—Wil liam T. Tilden, national champion, and Takio Harada and Masamoke Fukuda, members of the Japanese cup team, were victors in the feature matches at the opening of the Middle States clay court singles tennis championship tournament at the Germantown Cricket Club.

BY JOHN B. KELLER. PADDLERS of the newly-formed Middle States Canoe Racing As sociation will compete in that organization’s first annual regatta here August 23. The affair will be held under the auspices of the Washington Canoe Club, one of the nine charter members of the association. The association includes the states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. Virtually it will supersede the Delaware-Chesapeake division of the American Canoe Association, which has been in control of competitive canoeing in this section. The charter members are Washington Canoe Club and Potomac Boat Chib of this citv. Maryland Swimming Club of Baltimore. Chippewa Canoe Club, Philadelphia Canoe Club and Red Dragon Canoe Club of Philadelphia, Lakanoo Boat Club of Burlington, N. j.; Yapewi Aquatic Club of Bordentown, N. J., and Tuscarora Canoe Club of Wilmington. The Middle States Association was tentatively formed in Philadelphia last winter by representatives of clubs that for several years had en deavored to have the Del'aware- Chesapeake division of the American Canoe Association do more to pro mote interest in competitive canoeing in this section. The member clubs have been in the front rank of racing organizations for quite a time and the new organization promises to be the greatest boost for the sport the territory covered has ever received. Washington Men Officer*. Permanent organization was ef fected in the Quaker city last week, when a business meeting was held and officers elected. Philadelphia and Washington men were chosen for the administrative positions, but all the clubs will have representation on the | board of directors. The commodore of the association is C. T. Majer of the Philadelphia Canoe Club. Majer, active in canoeing ranks in the Pennsylvania metropolis, is well known here. He has attended every big canoe regatta held in Wash ington during the past four years and been a generous host to Wash ington paddlers attending Philadel phia meets. Other officers are A. E. Weeks of the Washington Canoe Club, vice commodore, and R. A. Bogley of the Potomac Boat Club, secretary-treas urer. Weeks is commodore of the Washingtonians and has much to do with the development of the Red and Blue crews. Bogley, who went Into the Potomac Club when it absorbed the Colonial Canoe Club, was a mem ber of the Bogley-Eaton doubles team that won laurels foe the Colonials in 1 New Jersey meets last summer. STORTS. A more spirited rivalry among: the clubs in this section than has been the case in other years is expected to be a result of the new associa tion. Already dual meets are being arranged as preparatory work for the big regatta and to further interest* in the organization. Membership is open to any club in good standing in the territory and several more may be admitted before the time for the regatta arrives. Washington Canoe Clnb paddlers are training daily for the Red and Blue team to be sent to France this summer to participate In the Olym pic games. The squad probably will be selected the latter part of next month. The Olympic authorities have added canoeing to the games program this year more as an experiment than anything else, and points scored in the paddling events will not be cred ited to a nation’s total. The Ameri can watermen, though, hope to so im press the international committee that canoeing will be made a regular number on the aquatic list. A rep resentative United States squad will be selected by the American Canoe Association for competition in France, but the Washington Canoe Club will send its team abroad independently. Canoeists at Potomac Boat Club are priming for the American Canoe As sociation trials that will determine the composition of the United States Olympic paddling squad. Bogley, Rice, Dowling and Eaton, former Co lonials, are making rapid progress In their training and several other Po tomac men are doing well. The Red and White crew that goes to the I A. C. A. trials probably will make | matters quite interesting for the 1 other Olympic team aspirants. 25
