Campus Sport Comment BY KNUTE ROCKNE
ALONZO STAGG has changed his mind and has decided to defy the politicians who direct the destinies of some of our state high school associations. After a most interesting national basket event, which was won by a tall, rangy
crowd of “Long Horns'' from Texas, Stagg figured there was still enough demand throughout the country to justify his taking his stand. In the east, south and far west the high school associations are in favor of Stagg's tournament. There are several
\
Rockne
states here ih the middle west, however. where the high school athletic associations have become quite a political power and weapon, and there have been many facts to create a grave suspicion that such is the case. Some of these state associations had better show an example at home of how to run a tournament for the best interest of the boys before they condemn the University of Chicago interscholastics, which from every angle is without a flaw. The teams never play more than once a day; the boys hob-nob with teams from thirty-nine and forty other states, and they learn that we are ope country, one flag, and one nation and not forty-eight states, (Copyright, 1929, by The Times' RATTED STRAIGHT FLUSH In an exhibition game this spring.

Highly Rated Gelding
Clyde Van Dusen MAN O’WAR never was started in a Kentucky Derby, but there is a gelded son of the famous thoroughbred entered for the race this year that may lead Blue Larkspur, Roguish Eye and other favorites to the finish. Clyde Van Dusen is the entry with Man o’ War blood. Owned by H. P. Gardner, he is considered a most dangerous entry'. There were periods when he ran poorly as a 2-year-old, but this was offset by brilliant showings, especially his victory in the Kentucky Jockey Club stakes. He started seventeen times as a 2-year-old, winning eight races, finishing second thrice, third twice and being unplaced four times. He was listed as a 10-1 shot in the winter books.
