ftobertson Is Favored as Coach of the Yank Olympic Aggregation NEW YORK, Jan. IK.—Smoke of Olympic fires is drifting across the Atlantic but so far very little has been dove to kindle the fire under America’s boiler of prospects. No open moves have (been made by the American committee. A questionnaire asking for enlightenment on fifty points was sent to the Belgian committee with Lieut. Col. Leon Ostereith'i head of the Belgian military committee, who recently visited this country. 'As soon as the answer is received the committee will convene and start work on a definite basis. Two countries—Sweden and Italy—planted their seeds several months ago and have a good sized crop of posslhlli- ■ ties peeping above the ground. The Swedes have raised a fund corresponding to $200,000 and have signed Ernie Bjortberg, famous throughout the United States and Scandinavia as an athletic tutor, to coach. lie is operating through committees in the various districts of the nation. Wishing to Inject some Yankee stuff into their team, the Italians •cored what they think is a ten-stroke when they engaged Platt Adams, American. to train their team. They have announced that Georges Carpentler wil* appear in an exhibition bout this spring to boost for their drive “for funds. Most of the Olympic talk in America centers around the selection of a I'oifch. Lawson Robertson, Pennsylvania; “Pooch” Donovan, Harvard; Martin Delaney, Chicago, and Coach Haywood, Oregon, have been named as probable successors to the late Mike Murphy. Robertson looms up now as the favorite e-win;? to his familiarity with the Murphy ffystem. When Murphy was forced to his bed at Stockholm, Robertsop took hold of the American team and proved a capable director. Asa competitor and , coach, the Pennsylvania mentor took part l fn the games at St. Louis in 1904, Athens lln 1906. London in 190S, and at Stockholm in 1912. flThe greatest task facing the American ■miner is to keep his charges in condi■tlOxi during the long trip across the Fwafrr. In this line Donovan appears to bav® the edge. His feat in taking Harvard's football team after It had broken training several weeks, whipping it into shape again, keeping it in condition duringi a transcontinental trip of 3,000 miles then jfuttlng if on a field under July weather conditions and having it fresher at the close of the game than the natives of that clime, proved him no ordinary trainer. “Pooch” has a reputation at Harvard of scoring hla greatest success with the most temperamental athletes. He has loads of personality with tons of his friends say. Skating Champ Sails to Meet European Leader NEW YORK. .lan. 16.- -Bobby McLean, world’s champion ice skater, sailed for Norway today aboard the Stavangorfjord lo meet Oscar Mathtesou, European eham. plon, in a series of ice races at Christinia Feb. 7 and 8.

Los Angelas. Commander D’Olier was still out of the city today and there was no official statement forthcoming from the local legion headquarters.

The British team, challenger for the cup, is made up of Lieut. Col. R. F. Kingscote, A. H. Lowe and A. B. Beamish. Present Grid Rules to Stand During 1920 lORK. Jan. 16. No lengthv sea sions will be required next fall to explain new rules to the embryo gridiron heroes for there will be no'new rules. At least. Ibis hunch was given out at the recent "f I'niversit.v athletic heads. For the most part the gridiron tutors seem satisfied with the existing statutes. Rather, they are reluctant to experience with unproven remedies for the few ills that were cited. The rules committee of the National Collegiate Athletic association bad no suggestion for new legislation and very few recommendations were brought to the attention of the new committee. Existing rules which permit of “no decision" affairs in tbe way of tie games were generally condemned but no logical solution was offered. Glenn Warner, coach of the University of Pittsburg, was in tbe group wanting tbe kick-after-touchdown abolished. Albrecht Made Winning Points in Ferndale Game Duo to mistaken identity, Eoikerson, Ferndale forward, was credited with scoring the winning points against the Debonatrs in this week's game between the two teams. Folkerson bad been ruled out because of personal fowls, and it was reported that, the Debonair management, had waived on the ruling and had permitted him to return, but t’ds was a mistake. It was Albrecht who tossed the basket which gave the Fer'i dales the victory. In making tbe report of the game there was 'no etTr.it to cloud the true conditions, ns the information had been obtained front a Ferndale follower who thought Folkerson had gone back In. At anv rate, the teams put up a great battle, with lots of class, and if they meet again a packed house no doubt will attend. Each five has a largo contingent of rooters, who are wildly enthusiastic over their respective, quintets. BIG GAME AT CHRTSTAMORE. There will be plenty of action on the Christarnore floor this evening, when the Christarnore Cubs and Boys’ Club teams hook up. This will be tbe second games for these teams in the new basket league, and the Cnbs are out to overcome tnoir defeat of last Friday night. The south side boys are also anxious to annex a victory, for, with their win of last week. It will give them an early lead In the race. The curtain raiser should prove to be an exciting fray, for the Christamore Seconds and Y. P. C. will hookup in this game. Both teams have a string of victories to their credit, and this game will have some bearing on who will be junior champions of the city. Dancing will follow the games this week, and after all Friday night games hereafter, music being furnlsheq by Diddell’s .Tazzers. The dances, however, will not cause any admission to be charged at the games. A large following of the four teams participating <n the games is expected and the first fray will start at 7:30.

EARLY CLOSING OF TITLE BOUT IS PREDICTED Descamps Favors Rickard’s Offer and Thinks New Jersey Will Get It. QUICK K. 0., HE SAYS Kearns Likes Fox Bid With Red Cross Included LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10. —Jack Kearns today made public the answer he sent last night to William Fox, New York sportsman and movie magnate, who offered* $550500 for the Denipsey-Carpen-tier fight/ The answer was chiefly a request, to Fox for assurances that be can put Carpentier into the ring and that the fight can be staged in this country within a year. Kearns told Fox the “new offer interests me mightily, especially the feature which gives the Red Cross a share in the profit." PARTS, Jan. 16. —The date and conditions of the battle between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier for the heavyweight championship of ftbe world will be definitely settled within two or three days, M. Descamps, the Frenchman's manager, declared today. Descamps said the bout, “wlil take place some time between the first of September and the last of November," and that it probably would be staged In New-Jersey “or some other point near New York.” This forecast followed receipt of an offer from Tex Rickard, the American promoter. The contract with Carpeniier held by Charles Cochran, the British promoter, expires Feb. 1, according to Descamps. (Cochran, now In New York, says his contract “runs well into 1921.”) “I do not believe there is any chance of holding the fight anywhere but In America." said Descamps. who places the offer from Rickard at the top of a list of four “serious offers from the United States." While Rickard did not specify any location, Carpentiers manager says hr understand* the American favors New Jersey. Descamps does not consider the eight round law in that state any bar t“ holding the tight there. “The fight will be a inattf r of only a few rounds," he said. "In fact, it will r.ot last more than four. It will be terrific from the first gong. Both men will try for an immediate knockout. It will he a death struggle from the handshake." While admitting the mathematical chances are fairly even. Descamps said the psychological elements were in favor of his protege and that he could not conceive of Carpeutier's defeat. The other three offers Descamps has under consideration are from Billy Gibson, for Madison Square garden; Jim Coffroth. for Tia Juana, and Dominick Tortorich. for New Orleans. The only worthwhile offer in Europe, he said, was from M. Theodore, a Viennese sportsman, who proposed to hold the bout In I’aris. Descamps predicted that at least a thousand Frenchmen would go to Artier lea to witness the battle Carp4ntler leaves tomorrow on an exhibition tour of Belgium.

Boss Smith will referee. St. Joseph college has been making n great record this year. The team hws been defeated only by the strong Y. M. P. C. quintet of Lafayette and that was by a close score. Sr. Joseph college, athletes use a different type of offense than any other team, in the state. They play both guards on offense and uSe their forwards more on defense than do most basketball teams. O’Brien aud Wellman, the St. Joseph guards, are fast men and both sure goal shots. In the Y. M. P. C. game Wellman caged the bail from the field three times. O'Brien also found the goal on a long shot. O’Brien plays the style of game similar to Church, the Purdue speed merchant. He is exceptionally fast and a wonderful passer. A. Schaefer, Rose and Broady all are fast forwards. Lange is the center on the St. Joseph team. The Dentals have been shoyving im provement this week and only a tight workout was scheduled for today. Havens will probably start at center, Witter' and McCarthy at guards, and McPherson and Reeves at forwards.
