WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1924 World Results By Leased Wire ANNAPOLIS AND WASHINGTON TIE, 14 ALL, ON GRIDIRON SENSATIONS OF EmiMITIE HOLDS THRILLS Game Is Most Spectacular Ever Played There. PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 2.—The football teams of United States naval academy and the University of Wash ington, participants in the inter-sectional gridiron bat tie here yesterday, were today pre paring for the return trip home, each team perhaps a little bitter against fate for intervening and preventing a decisive victory, in stead of a tie score, 14 to 14. The game, from the viewpoint of critical spectators was the most spectacular ever played here in the series of east versus west contests. Coach Bob Fol well's embryo ad mirals played a wide open game throughout. Except in punting, the honors were with the Navy. It was the weight of the Huskies* line, with their ability to tighten their defense, that saved Washington from defeat. The Navy’s points were made in the second period by two touch downs. one by McKee and the other by Cullen. McKee kicked goal in both In stances. The second and fourth periods were utilized by Washington for their scoring. A 35-yard pass from Abel to Dubois and a 23-yard run > by George Wilson accounted for the '■•'first touchdown, with Sherman con verting. Their opportunity to tie the final score came in the last period and was grasped when Bryan received a pass from Abel and dashed over the line. Sherman kicked goal. McKee, Shipley and Brachett fea tured in the Navy offense. Captain Carney was outstanding in the de fensive work. Abel and Wilson gained most con sistently for the Huskies. Coach Enoch Bag-haw made a final effort to-win the game in the closing minutes when he substituted Zlel for Abel for an attempted place kick but Ziel's kick from the 33-yard line went far wide of the posts.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK. Jan. 2—(United Press). —“Little Bill*’ Johnston, "Wimbledon champion of 1923, and one of the greatest of all tennis players, will not be able to accom pany the American team that is to be sent to the Paris Olympics next summer. Johnston gave up six months from his business last year to play tennis, and he feels that he cannot spare half of next year to compete at Wimbledon, Paris, and in the Davis Cup matches and national championships in thia country. America is rich in tennis, but the wealth of the country is represented a'most entirely In Bill Tilden and Johnston. They are stars extraor dinary, standing above all others. Other American players are ordi nary. Bill Tilden will have an awful load to carry the burden of the whole team through against competition that will be formidable, at least. Ten men and women players are to be sent with the tennis section of tho big American Olympic team. The players are to be selected by the Davis Cup committee of the United States Lawn Tennis associa tion, a committee that handles all the association's international af fairs. Burled with a lot of sub-commit tee reports mode public recently by the American Olympic committee was the following interesting dope “Julian S. Myrick, chairman of the Olympic tennis team commit tee, reported it had been practically decided to select the men's team to represent America, from the follow Ing: William T. Tilden, Richard Norris Wil iams. Vincent Richards. Watson Washbum and Francis T. Hunter.'* emission of the name of? Bill Johnston brought the information for the first time that Bill had noti fied the committee, positively and finally, that he would not be able to get away from his business. Continuing with the tennis report. Myrick was quoted In his report: “The ladies team will be selected from: Miss Helen Wills. Mrs. Molla Mal lory. Miss Eleanor Goss. Mrs. George W. Wightman, Mrs. Thomas C. Bun ry. Miss Lll'ian Scharman and Miss Leslie Bancroft.” Mention of Mrs. Mallory's name ns a probable selection indicates that the committee is sti 1 hopeful that the International body will suspend ttie rules and allow the former American champion to compete, al though sho is not eligible. Mrs. Mallory will be sent with the team, even if she cannot play in the Olympic games, because the entire team is to be entered at Wimbledon and in other European classics. -America's tennis invasion of the old country wi’l be even more ex tensive. ns teams from Tale. Har vard. Princeton and Stanford, are going to England. Many of the players will try to enter the Wimble don tournament, and they also can bo used as substitutes on the “var sity” Olympic team. Suggestions that Mrs. Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman and Mrs. May- Sutton Bundy may be named on the Olympic team is the happiest of all. Nothing could be of more credit to the country’ and nothing could add more prestige and class to the squad than the presence of those two won derful players. It Is the first time that either Mrs. Wightman or Mrs. Bundy have had a chance to wear the of ficial colors of the United States and no one can wear them with more grace or beauty. Imagine what turmoil there will be in Paris next summer when the big games are swinging ahead in full stride! The members of the boxing com mission will attend the funeral In a body. Miske. who was 29 years old. start ed boxing in 1913 and had partici pated In 114 fights. Os this number he won 34 by the knockout route, was awarded the decision in nine af fairs, fought three draws; took part in 63 no decision contests and three exhibitions, was knocked out once, and lost one ten-round decision go. Jack Dempsey, world's heavy, weight champion, was the only box er to knock out Miske. In 1920 Dempsey put him out in the third round at Benton Harbor. Michigan. Miske often had attributed his ability to take punches without tak ing the count to a unique exercise. This consisted of hitting himself hard on the jaw about ten times in his dally training for each bout. He maintained that those seif-inflicted blows loosened up his jaw and at the same time made It more or less Insensible to smashes landed there by his opponents. “Miss H»len Wills and Mlle Su zanne Lenglen meet today,” will get ’he whole world on its toes if it is flashed on the cab es from Paris, and no doubt such a meeting will transpire. The “Big Four” from Meadow brook may find it possible to repre sent tho United States in the Olympic polo matches, and If those world’s champions are unable to make the trip, America will be rep resented by the United States Army team. which won the military cham pionship of the world last sum mer. The best track and field athletes in the world Wil' be there; America s •'tar swimmers, the record holders of every important distance and class; the oarsmen, trap revolver and rifle shooters, soccer and rugby players. boxers and wrestlers, fenc ers. gymnasts and cyclers will be busy at about the same time. No competition in general sports has ever been arranged with such continuity* and class as will be pro vided next summer in Paris. In raising funds to pay the ex penses of the tennis players, the tennis association struck upon the good idea of asking tho members of every club affiliated with the as sociation to contribute 50 cents or more to the fund. Members of every amateur ath 'etic club and every social or fra ternal organization In tho country could get 50 cents per capita out of Its membership and a good cause would be helped without reducing anyone to want.

Cfie Casper Daflp Ctfßune BIG YEAR ENJOYED BY MING HIGH SGHOOUIETIGS, 1923 Popularity Grows in Every Line of Sport With More Schools Participating; Outstanding Events of the Year Are Reviewed. Athletics in the Wyoming high schools has grown rapidly in popularity in the last three years and especially in 1923. This is true in nearly every line of high school sports that has been introduced. More teams participated in 1923 in football, basketball, baseball and the various divisions of the track and field sports than in any preced- ing year, says the Wyoming State Tribune. This was largely due to the attention given high school ath letics bj’ the various school boards. As a result nearly every one of the leading Institutions tn the state Is equipped with a well qualified atn letic training staff. Consequences are better teams and better athletics, and excellent competitions. Further results were that more “fans'* were developed, business men became Interested tn and encouraged their respective high school athletics, and better gymnasiums were provided. People who heretofore have de- Hired to see only baseball games and many not even interested in the national pastime, now attend high school basketbail and football games. Basketball was quick to grasp the interest of the Wyoming peo pie when it w-as first introduced. This was not true of football however. The season of the game is at the time of the year when weather conditions are uncertain and in 1923 there was widespread interest, however, remedied. More teams entered upon the state grid iron. Attendance at games was re ported to be much greater than ever before. In 1921 sixteen high schools were represented by football elevens. The number grew to 28 the next season and during the last year 35 arid teams were in competition on the gridirons over the state. There are 57 towns in Wyoming ‘hat have high schools. A few have only semi-high schools. At the 1923 state interscholastic tournament in Laramie there were 44 basketball teams competing. In the tourney n year before that there were 30 group contestants. The single season saw an increase of 15 games. The 1923 track and field meet nt Douglas in May. was the most suc cessful in the history of such state competitions. The Sheridan high school for the last three consecutive football sea sons has won the state Interscho lastic grid title. In each of the years 1921. 1922 and 1923, this northern Wyoming school has pro duced an eleven of extraordinary merit. Football throughout the state was popular in the high schools. Several excellent teams were developed Casper. Laramie. Cheyenne, Powell. Douglas and Thermopolis were among the best. In the basketball division Lara mie took the state honor. The five which gained the title was a smooth working combination. After long and strenuous competition in the 1923 state cage tourney, Cheyenne. Rock Springs, Powell. Evanston and the champions remained to set tle the laurels. Laramie won the crown in a gruelling battle with Powell. W. Thompson of Thermopolis won the 1923 Wyoming interscho lastic track and field meet, piling up 26 points of the score of 56 by which the Thermopolis team out classed all other entrants. Thomp son’s individual score of 12 points was greater than the team placing second, Casper, which annexed only 14. In making the Thermopolis score, W. Thompson captured five firsts and a third. Baseball ift not played sufficiently in the state high schools to justify competition for the state diamond supremacy. The reason for such little interest in this sport is that high school students go on their summer vacation early in June. This is about the time in the year when baseball clubs are preparing for the season. MOORCROFT GEERS STHRTOFFWITHROSH MOORCROFT, Wyo., Jan. 2. Moorcroft High school has been suc cessful in four pre-schedule game* with Sundance. Hulet, Cambria and Rozet. The boys are in fine condi tion for the season and are one of the fastest teams of the northeast section of the state. The girls* team were the champions of this section last year. From the style of ball they are now playing they will be contenders for the honors this year. It is predicted by many who have followed the game for years that there is no team that can defeat them In this comer of the state. The coaches are working hard with their teama to perfect them in every detail before their regular schedule opens which is January 8. Among the teams which are to play Moorcroft are Sundance, Buffalo. Sheridan. Gillette and Newcastle and return games, HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONS Basketball Laramie High school.

LEW TENDLER IS DEFEATED Nate Goldman Bests Veteran in Ten Round Fight. PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 2.—Lew Tendler, for several years a leading contender for the lightweight cham pionship. yesterday suffered the worst defeat of ills long r ng career at the hands of Nate Goldman, n fellow Philadelphian and until re cently unknown In fistic circles. Goldman, who gained some promin ence last summer by his defeat of Pinkey Mitchell, handed Tendler more punishment in ton rounds than Benny Leonard, the title holder, did in 27 rounds during two meetings for the championship. Twice Goldman send Tendler to the mat for the count of nine, nnd to show that he was equally effec tive with either hand, he did it once with his right and again with his ’eft. Both times Tendler staggered to his feet groggy, but managed to weave his way into close quarters and hold on until he regained his bearings. Only his ring generalship saved him from a knockout, in the opinion of the experts.

The Piedmont league is the latest organization to an nounce its intention to return to the one-lap race. Whether the United States will be represented by a soccer team in the Olympic games depends upon the success of efforts now making by the soccer governing body to raise a $12,- 4 00 found to cover expenses.
