Jan. 20. — (U.R) Hear.ly (Hunk) Anderson will direct Notre Dame's football army again in the campaign of 11)33.

(coach. No action was taken to reI new the contract of Jesse C. Harpier, athletic director, but it was exI plained his lea.se on the position (does not expire until May 1, 1933. Rumors that Anderson and even I Harper would be supplanted have been flying about since the Ramblers were defeated by Pittsburgh in [ their fourth game of the 1932 seas(on after piling up a point-a-minute i record against Haskell. Drake and [Carnegie Tech. They subsided | some as Anderson led the team to la crushing victory over the Army, only to grow again as Southern California beat the Ramblers by two touchdowns. j Terms of Anderson's contract 1 for his third year as head coach | were not divulged. Anderson will have a real coach- ' ing job on his hands this year. Fif- ' teen regulars lost by June gradu--1 aliens must be replaced for one [ of the most difficult schedules in ’, many years.

AMONG the famous athletes who are now limbering up for the Spring track meets, there is one in particular who will bear watching this year. He is a beautifully-muscled ebony giant with a face of an almost Indianlike mould instead of the- usually blunt features of the Negro, and his name is Ralph Metcalfe. You all remember him—Metcalfe, the hard luck champion of the 1932 Olympic Carnes; the Great Might-have-been. This handsome negro sprinter from Marquette University had twice beaten his chunky ebony rival, Eddie Tolan, in the Olympic try-outs, and previous ly in middle-western meets Ralph had seemed to convincingly demon strate his superiority over the erstwhile Michigan Midnight Express at both the 100 and 200 meter distances Metcalfe went into the Olympic dash finals heavily favored to beat the world’s best sprinters at both the regulation distances and on each occasion a cruel twist of fortune shattered his bid for victory. Remember the 100 meters final

A careful check-up system is used. "The Adams County Red Cross organization, under the supervision of Wai Wemhoff, has also been doing a great and noble work throughout', the county in distributing flour and clothing to the needy. The township trustees are also keeping an accurate check-up for the Red Cross on all items. Up to date the Adams County lied Cross has distributed in Adams counity approximately $10.0(91 worth of flour and cloth-, ing material. “Since there are no available funds on hand at present with which to purchase necessary items | I for charity, an appeal is being' made by the organization at this time for money, clothing and food; donations.

i at Los Angeles? Nobody who saw • that famous finish will ever forget it—the undersized, bespectacled Tolan desperately striving tc stave oft the terrific closing rush of the hurtling Metcalfe! The giant Marquette speedster seems to pass Tolan as they hit the tape, and the crowd thinks that Metcalfe is the winner. So does Tolan, evidently, for he goes over and congratulates his towering rival. The announcer gives the unofficial result: "Metcalfe the winner.” And then—what a cruel blow—it is announced that the officials have decided that Tolan was the winner! The onlookers remain unconvinced and they are still unconvinced to this day—that Folan won that race. The movies of that finish have failed to clear up the argument—many maintain that even on the movie showing Metcalfe didn't lose the race and that the best that should have been given Tolan was a tie. On the other hand, the A. A. U. officials uphold the decision adjudging Tolan the victor, saying that while the '•bests of both men hit the tape simultaneously. Tolan’s stride

I Davis will he Mr. Roosevelt’s sec-1 rotary of state. War debts, preparations for the ( world economic conference, dis ( armament and far eastern policy were the main problems of the Hoover-Roosevelt agenda. The two men are eager to avoid delay in dealing with these matters at a time when chaotic world conditions demand prompt action. While Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt talked, member of the cabinet other than Stimson and Mills stood by a the White House, waiting to be called to the red room if they were need. However, it was announced in advance that the conference would treat only on foreign matters. Hence any discussion of domestic problems requiring advice from cabinet members would be of an! impromptu nature. Today's conference was the see ,'ond Mr. Roosevelt has held with I Mr. Hoover since the former's] election. The two men endeavored I unsuccessfully last fall to agree on I a technique of cooperation foi dealing with the war debt problem. Research has shown that the average American is ill enough to remain at home and need medical ■ care once a year, the average worn- ] an nearly twice a year and the av- | erage child more than twice a ;year. o — An English railway claims the | world's record for regular speed |of trains for one of its expresses, : which has a regular schedule aver- [ aging more than 70 miles an hour | with a top speed exceeding 85. . —. o - To furnish an intense spark re-' gardless of the condition of an automobile's battery a booster has been invented that automatically 1 throws a six volt dry battery into series with the regular battery. A government committee which has studied the subject has favored a program for the complete electrification of British railways in 30 ■ • years.

was slightly ahead of Metcalfe’s. It is one of those arguments that Will never be settled to the satisfac- • tion of al! concerned, but it must be I admitted that it was a tough break for Metcalfe to lose the race on such I a widely disputed verdict. As if that wasn’t misfortune enough, Metcalfe suffered another blow from a cruel Fate when he finished second to Tolan in the 200 meter race, only to find out after the race that his chances for victory had been blasted because of an error in the measurements of the curved lanes. Ralph had been forced to run four feet farther than the others! However, Tolan, who was smiled upon by Fate this time, has now retired from competition; while Metcalfe’s sprinting career is really iust beginning With his marvelous nhysique and incredible speed, the tall Marquette ace should establish himself as the king of the world’s sprinters this year, and he may establish some remarkable records before he hangs up his cleated shoes for good.

Refuse Help 'lndianapolis Jin. 20 —(UP)—Decision of the major Leagues to postpone financial assistance to the American Legion's junior baseball series for a year will have no effect on the Legion's program for 1933, it was said at National head- , quarters here today. In the past major leagues have helped finance regional, sectional and national tournaments to decide a National champion. Because of economic conditions, however, the : leagues voted to declare a moratorium on payment for a year. Instead, the leagues will cooperate to a greater extent in permitting use of their ball parks and in giving their moral support, it was said. Individual posts and state departments shoulder the expense past the state tournament stage. —o . Aviator Killed — Dayton, O„ Jan. 20 — (UP) — Lieutenant J. A.
