Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—1 t begins to appear that when a football coach lends his name to the exploitation of such vile things as nicotine drenched weeds—cigarets, I believe they are called—he ceases to be a desirable citizen, a healthy influence or a first class character builder. Your correspondent got this notion down at Princeton university

the other afternoon when the head football coach, Bill Roper, talking to visiting journalists, worked himself into a fine oratorical lather over the fact Chick Meehan had gone commercial and sold his autograph for sordid gold, or something. Meehan is the

Roper

head coach of the New York university team and is also an active worker in the American Association cf Intercollegiate Football Coaches of which—and here the plot grows feverish—Roper is the president. a a a “I think Meehan is guilty of a cheap and indefensible act,” said Roper. .“He is out there on the field to set an example for the young men under him. To adopt cigarets hardly comes under this head. As president of the coaches association I shall move he be removed from the membership roster at our next meeting.” a a a MEEHAN’S retort, somewhat verbose, is that “nobody is going to dictate to me.” Presumably this included the Princeton ‘boach. Somehow I think this was the correct thing to say. If Meehan wants to make an egg of himself—and this is what the indictment loosely charges—that should be hi.; business, not Roper’s. Asa matter of fact the situation is hardly as alarming as the Princeton coach is disposed to view it. The terrors and temptations that supposedly lurk in the white cylindrical bodies of cigarets strike you early, if at all. I found Roper more interesting when he switched to football. He is a man of great personal magnetism and driving force. It is easy to understand the legend that has grown up around him, viz, that he can take mediocre players and instill them with a fighting fury that no championship squad is capable cf stopping. a a a Animation of spirit and mind is stamped clearly on his personality He is a man who was built to lead and to fight—the perfect symbol of the Tiger of old Nassau. Roper has been at Princeton a great number of years. They say he can stay for life if he wants to. And maybe he will. BRAZIL speed races Closing Dirt Track Events of Season Carded Sunday.

Lacrosse Praised by Jones By SB A Service WEST POINT, N. Y., Oct. 19.—Nothing compares to lacrosse as a means of training and conditioning men for football, says “Biff” Jones, coach of the Army eleven, this fall is one of the hardest in the country. “That’s a real game,” says Jones, “and one that brings out everything you need in football. "It develops speed and endurance, mental and physical. That pace-changing swerving and running is a great aid to backs. You have to use your arms and bodies to check opponents and that helps both linemen and backs. “The nice part about it is that football and ladrosse do not conflict in time as they come at opposite ends of the y;ar.”

Nine Runners in Pro Race at New York Marathon Event to Be Staged After Lapse of 20 Years. M Bit United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—0n a tanbark track in„ Madison Square Garden Sunday night, professional marathon running will be reintroduced to the American public after a lapse of two decades. Distance running for hire has been practically a dead issue in this country since the day in 1908 when Dorando and Hayes put on their famous pursuit act. Abdul El Ouafi, 1928 Olympic champion; Joie Ray, and a host of other distance runners will compete for prizes aggregating $6,500. A tan-bark track, ten laps to the mile, has been laid down in Madison Square Garden, and the contestants have been training in the vicinity for several days. Joie Ray will start a favorite, largely because more is known about him than about the others. Ray recently turned professional for the purpose of meeting El Ouafi, who gave up his amateur standing immediately after the Olympic games. What started out to be a grudge race, appropriately sponsored by the promoters, developed into a real marathon run with nine entries when two Finns, an Esthonian, an Italian, an Englishman, a Jew and a Swede were added to the list of starters. In addition to Ray and Ouafi, there will be Willie Kolehmainen, Juri Lossman, the Esthonian, Ollie Wattinen, Giusto Umeck of Italy, Arthur Newton, British distance runner; Sam Richman, champion of the Ghetto, and Gunner Knausland of Sweden. lOWA CITY, la., Oct. 19.—Entries from Illinois and Wisconsin will head the list of contestants for lowa university’s seventh annual crosscountry meet here Nov. 3.
