NEW YORK,
c. 1.—1It’s getting so a sports reporter around these
© parts can not go |about his routine chores without :finding ‘himself up _ to his knees in Astors, Vanderbilts and Biddles. + Itisa situation which makes him yearn for the good old days when he could rub shoulders with Pete the Goat, Izzy the Egg, One-Eyed Con-
holly and other aristocratic mem-
‘bers of the swinging daor society.
The other night, .for, instance,.at fhe opening of the Ice Show in ¥ Madison Square Garden, we were

t how to behave in such glitter- . ing company. Somehow we felt we gouldn’t be our lusty, unrestrained Oth ‘Ave. self. The little gals would go through eir beautiful didoes out on the ice, owing, among other: things, more ecision than the Notre Dame line, nd we would feel like getting up and shouting, “Ain’t that swell,” but then we would look. around—

And what would .we see? We
would see the very nice people nod- - very stiffly, this way and that yay, a sort of triple forward, backyard, lateral pass, from the Astors the Vanderbilts to the Biddles, the end of which you interpreted op mean “isn’t® it lovely.” This was at the Ice Show.

to kid the:sports editors. This isn’t going to be a day after day splash on the sports pages. The show opens and it’s either good or bad. After that it’s on its own. The head man of the Garden, Col. John, Kilpatrick, the old Yale Blue, threw everything out of the Garden but the- hot dog concessions to get the ice shows. He frowned on boxing—the sport that made the Garden—and this year he got the six-day bike racers out of bed long before their accustomed time. All this was done because he was sure the ‘ice shows would do better than all right. And maybe they will. We hope they do. We are not interested in Col. Kilpatrick gene way or another. To come right out and say so we are more interested in seeing the Garden be a success. As a sports reporter: we want to see all ‘the

Olin Weddell is to appear in Hice’s role, and Henry Fotter, Paragon senior who won a letter as a sub last season, is to be the Crowe in tomorrow nigh%’s lineup for ‘the first home game with Huntington. Joe Bohr, Hartford City senior of last season’s varsity, is to be paired with Potter. . Sharpe will. be the floor guard. "Harold Godwin, the Washington, Ind., letterman, will be at center. : : Beside being a wow at hitting the bull’s eye, Sharpe is rated as an exceptionally good defensive - player.

Coach Good doesri’t think this season’s quint is as good as the last one which won 14 out of 18 and he will be satisfied if he gets an even break in the 16-game schedule.
