Chamberlain Among Best in Annual Cross-Country Championships. NEW YORK, Nov. II.

(-Twenty-two colleges, including one middl Western institution, have entered a total of 265 athletes for the twenty-second annual varsity country championship to bs run at VanCortlandt park here Nov. 17. The mid-West will be represented by two runners from Michigan State Clark Chamberlain, who finished fourth last year, and Donald Conrad. The baby-faced Chamberlain in conreded an excellent chance to tak the individual title away from tb East for the first time in history, as the three men who finished ahead i of him have wound up their college cross-country careers. Francis Lind- say and Harry Richardson, the lni- I versity of Maine boys who finished in a dead head for the title last No- vember, have graduated, and so has i Lauren Brown, Chamberlain's for- -mer teammate at Michigan who came in third.

Although the Michigan institutioa Is confining its efforts to a bid for the individual crown, the University of Pennsylvania, present holder of the team title, will have plenty of competition.

HARVARD TIED BUTLER TEAM INVADES DIXIE MICHIGAN DECLINES INVITATION TO PLAY POST SEASON GAME Great Sire Transferred to Hanover Shoe Farms least appreciably. We recall that a horseman of some prominence last fall when the Old Glory auction was given during the very depth of the financial panic, deplored the fact that such must be the case, with the acceptance of a terrific drop in prires in the noted New York mart.

Yet, such was not the outcome, but instead, the Walnut Hall yearlings and the star performers of the sale held up to all former averages, or beyond. Why this Is, the writer is not prepared to say, yet it is true. Harness horse values (and in this statement there is considered values represented by the worthy kind) have survived panic after panic; have gone on steadily through depressions that tried the very soul of the nation. A kind horseman friend who pays the compliment of reading this column readily at his home up in the state, asks in a personal letter if conditions would be favorable for purchasing at auctions held this fall, his query being presented through a desire to turn an honest penny or more through increasing values. Unhesitatingly the answer is "Yes." And this repiy may be given to any of the same inquiring mind, even if it docs seem to to a degree with reasoning just given, though in reality it does not.

Norman, director of the university's bureau of visual instruction, today explained that this series of basketball slides is available for the schools of Indiana and other states. "Visual Instruction methods have advanced tremendously throughout the country in the last few years," Mr. Norman said. "Indiana is not lagging. It gives me pleasure that Mr.

Dean's contribution to the ever increasing supply of visual aids is offered to the schools of the country through the bureau of visual instruction of the I. IT. extension division."

A fast Navy squad smothered West Virginia Wesleyan under a half dozen touchdowns this sfternoon, four full Midrtie teams taking part in the rout of the Methodists, 37 to 14.

(T) The gallant little football band from ancient William and Mary outfought and outsmarted all of Harvard's mighty army here today, but superior man power enabled the Crimson to push over a fourth period touchdown and tie the score at 1.3-all.

Outweighed from five to thirty-five pounds In every position, the fighting lightweights from the small Williamsburg, college, overwhelmed the starting Crimson substitutes with their amazing speed and then outplayed the regulars who were rushed in earlv in the second period. The Virginians gained only a total of sixty-eight yards against the 386 made by Harvard, but few of the enemy advances were made in William and Mary territory. The Crimson threw everything into the fray, and during the closing minutes both Barry Wood and Captain Bpn Tick-nor tried to kick the winning points when the Harvsrd attack stalled inside of the W. and M. thirty-yard line.

Subs Start With Bang. The Crimson subs started off with a bang and Jack Crk'kard put over a quick score with an eighty-five-yard run in the first period. This touchdown, however, instilled the Virginians with fury for they started ripping and tearing through the Harvard team with amazing ease. When a Harvard signal misfired and a loose ball bounced about the Crimson's thirty-five-yard line, Tommy Halligan, Virginian end, pounced on if. On the next play he advanced to Harvard's twenty-yard line after completing Moz.eleski's well-protected pass.

Then Halligan swapped positions with Mozeleski and fed Halfback Maxey a scoring aerial. Mozeleski put W. and M. in front by drop-kicking the extra point. Art Huguley opened as the Harvard quarterback and when, in the second period, the W.

and M. forwards smashed his straight-running plays, he shifted to laterals. Halligan and Capt. Jimmy Mufphy ruined Hugu-ley's offerings and Barry Wood, along with most of the Harvard regular, was rushed in to make the laterals click. Grab Paw, Score.

His first sideway heave was Intercepted by the fast-charging Halligan, who feinted and dodged thirty yards for a score. The Harvard cheering section, awed by the gallant lightweights, voiced its disappointment when Mozeleski missed his second try for the extra point. In the fourth period Harvard marched sixty-five yards on fifteen plays. On fourth down, after three of White's line bucks were stopped for no gain, Mays rounded his right end, and. despite splendid interference, just barely made the three yards needed for Harvard's second touchdown.

Mays then drop-kicked the tying point. Score by Periods. William and Mary 7 0 0 -IS Harvard 0 0 71.1 2 HOOSIER FENCERS WITH WITTENBERG Special fo The Indianapolis Star. SPRINGFIELD, Nov. college fencers will meet Yale fencers at New Haven, Dec.

It ordered, however, that Michigan's share of the football receipts from the game with the University of Chicago he turned over to Governor Fred W. Green for the use of charity.

MONTICEI.LO, Nov. 1 Warsaw held the Monticello high school football team to a scoreless deadlock here this afternoon. I I BY GEORGE M. GAHAGAN. Transfer of Thd Great Volo, 2 from Laurel Hall farm to his new home at Hanover Shoe farms, Hanover, was made last week.

Many horsemen here believe the state has lost one of the greatest sires it ever has harbored, the consensus being that a very high percentage of his foals have speed. Bel-ricka the Great, a 2-year-old by him, trotted to a record of 2:05 this year, and othors have indicated remarkable class for the education received. On account of his young age, his rating now is very high. Manager Winings of Laurel Hall, whose progressive breeding notions brought the stallion here, says that The Great Volo some day will be counted among the great speed sires of the country. One of the Interesting sights these days at the fairgrounds is the drilling of the youngsters that have been taken for trial either by the lead pony or hitched.

One of the most accomplished of the trainers here at kindergarten development of trotters and pacers is Clate Dagler, and the stout young reinsman is pretty busy every day with some hopefuls that are just learning what the training grind is to be. Of his pupils Dagler states that he has some highly promising ones in a bunch of yearlings belonging to Abiram Boyd of Cambridge City, and Dagler declares that practically all of these have futures, judged upon what they have done for him in the few days' teaching. Most of these are by Argot Hal, which was the head sire at Mr. Boyd's Cedar Hill farm until his death recently. Quite unusual, these youngsters are inclined to the trot more than to the pace, though the sire was of pacing blood, in spite of the fact that he first was trained at the trot, at which gait he obtained a record of Mr.

Boyd has been very partial to the Argot Hal youngsters and a sight of these babies flying along the straightaway, with Dagler'a skilled hands indicating the way it should be performed, is evidence that the Cambridge City man is not at all foolish. There are something like a dozen of the youngsters from Cedar Hill in Dagler's hands, and he thinks there is no great choice In them, as all seem to have natural speed, and make development about equally. Sometimes one hears very pointed and caustic references to the adherents of the harness horse sport as one without backing; as one without stability or hope of survival except with the favoring winds of business affluence among a group of its foremost and most influential enthusiasts. Reference in this writer's column recently to some particular features which indicate the exceptional stability of our sport, caused a friendly call from a gentleman well versed in other lines of attraction, who hon-esting was endeavoring to secure the truth regarding this unusual fealty and constancy which render the sport of the trotters and pacers enduring. It is not In a self-congratulatory form that the writer states that the interviewer was impressed with facts which bear out unusual features in the sport, and that, he gave expression after comparison with other lines of attraction, that harness racing seemed sure to last indeed, that it deserved to endure, because of the fundamental work it shows, as well as the high standing of its most important backers.

Further, the interviewer stated that there undoubtedly was more sincere and unselfish support from its affluent patrons than could be credited to any other sport showing its breath and importance. Business has rendered some other sports very commercial, with the money-making side foremost; this does not govern with the horses of the harness racing kind. Its adherents, or that part of them situated favorably financially, do not consider their connection with it as one for money-making, but as the gratification of a love for the horse in a pleasant, healthful, exhilarating form. Their expenses are charged against the undoubted gain which th horses give them otherwise. Such consideration now Is pertinent because of the curtailment in developing which is observable in many lines perhaps only temporary, yet none the less Impressive, because it appears that most of our trends are affected to some degree by the varying tides of financial fortune.

Doubtless, such Is logical. Yet, if it is worth while it. may be timely to assert that seldom does a decline of storks work to the detriment of horse interest, or a lowering of values, at WASHINGTON STATE DEFEATS MENACING OREGON CLUB, 14-7 PORTLAND, Nov. Washington State college today defeated an ever-threatening Oregon State college eleven, 14 to 7, to continue in the lead for the Paeifl Coast Conference football championship. Two brilliant stands on the five-yard line gave the Crimson Washington Catapult, the victory.

The victorious Cougars suffered sixty minutes of fear, partly through their own mistakes and fumbles and partly because of a wicked aerial attaek by Oregon State. Washington State gained the first break -a hen Ahlskog deflected Thompson's punt from behind hiu own goal line and Schwartz downed the ball on the Oregon State nine-yard line early in the first period. On the fourth down. Kllingsen reeled around left end and across the goal line. In the last period Oregon State' little quarterback, Ralph Buerke, and a substitute end, Floyd Root, completed a thirty-six-yard forward pass for their one touchdown.

Glenn Edwards, big Cougar tackle, made victory rertain for Washington when he inlercepted a pass and raced unmolested for a touchdown In th final period. GEORGIA TECH TIED BY NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL, N. Nov. 1. North Carolina and Georgia Tech he.ttled to a 6-6 deadlock here todajr befc 22.000 spectators.

Avon a Masonic Heme Jl 42 OutsUndlnt Players Uttrrhack. French (Masonic Homej; Moras, Han (Avoa), The truth Is that all auctions have horse bargains. It is inevitable when horses by the hundreds are disposed of, that some will sell below their actual value. There are numbers of discerning, well-posted horsemen who clear good sums by watching for the bargains at the sale arena. At the 1929 sale here there were horses sold high some considerably higher than private disposal ever could have brought and some too low.

In the purchase of the latter kind, careful, conservative men, with a faculty for disposal after development of purchases tan try better in no other market. During the last week the writer talked with a gentleman from a neighboring town who purchased a 3-year-old pacing colt at the 1929 sale (he was then 2) at a very low price. The colt was well bred, had shown little for his limited training, but came in with no advantageous publicity and, hitting a lull in selling, went for a mere song to the down-state man. This ear the colt has raced in 2:12 on a half-mile rtack, showed ability to step around 2:06 on a large oval and looks like a great prospec for the coming year. His value, conservatively stated, now would be about $30 for the 1 which his presetn owner invested In him.

Such Instances are not common, yet. they do come when the rapid selling process of the ring compels quick decisions snd often times insufficient time for elaboration of features deserving attention.
