20. The Grove Horses are no easier to judge than other kinds of competitive flesh. Around Michigan in September no one, including the great Yost, thought enough of Benny Friedman to look at him twice. Then Michigan was murdered by Illinois. Something had to be done.

Friedman could throw a forward pass. Michigan decided to a chance on him. Friedman immediately changed Michigan from an- ordinary football team into a great football team. The moral is, you never can tell.

Only one change in football rules seems probable and that is merely the return of a regulation in effect until the last year. Moving1 back the klckoff from midfield to the 40-yard line looms as a certainty because of the large number of complaints that the boot from midfleld robbed the game of thrills in that the. ball generally went over the goal line. The National Association of Football Officials, in Its meeting here Saturday, recommended the change, and it is likely the cosfches and rules commitee will follow suit March Big league teams begin The men who have been chosen lor the varsity squad are Captain Willard Fleming, Elmer Stevens, Charlies Jones 1924 A BIG YEAR TODAY'S CROSSWORD PUZZLE and Carl Miltimore, forwards; Leo but a eiinilar case happens to exist. Stimulus right now is one of the best two-year-old runners in the game, if not the best.

Last May Field's colt was an outcast. Bookies freely offered $100 to against his chances of winning over an ordinary field. In the quaint phraseology of the mob Stimulus was "just a bum." The season wore on; Stimulus began to show a little form. Soon he broke into the winning class. The bookies began to be more careful.

Finally they "laid off" him entirely. Foilr straight victories, a startling upset in which he finished ninth in a ten-horse race, then another brilliant victory in a big stake. Five wins in six starts. That's pretty fair for a colt that started the season a 100-to-l shot, and it probably ex speech before local Rotarians in which -he predicts a championship for Athletics.

The year 1924 will go down innto Penn State sport history as one of the most successful for the Nittany Lion. Two intercollegiate titles -were annexed by blue and white teams during the year hile in a third sport Penn State was recognized as a real leader among the colleges of the country.

By virtue of their victories in the annual intercollegiate tournaments, the Nittany athletes carried home both the boxing and wrestling crowns, the first time that both titles have ever fallen to the same institution. The Penn States soccer team, although not in the intercollegiate league, completed its sixth consecutive season without defeat, a record that cannot be matched by any other team in the country. A survey of the year shows that Penn State teams were victorious on 60 occasions, tasted defeat 25 times, and in two tie struggles. Baseball and lacrosse were the only sports to show more defeats than victories and with the exception of these two branches, Penn State lost but 10 contests in all other sports. season's record gives the Nittany Lions a percentage of .706 which is remarkably, high when it is considered that Penn State played through hard schedules in 11 different 4ines of sport.

29. Despite the fact that Connie' Mack has been the busiest manager in the majors since the close of the season, it is hinted that he is not yet through. In securing "Lefty" Groves from Baltimore and Catcher Cochrane from Portland, the Athletics purchased the costliest rookie battery in the history of the game. Mack says he would like to pick up another hard-hitting outfielder who swats them from the right side of the plate. Rumor has it that he is willing to part with Frank Welch.

It is said Ty Gobb has made overtures for Welch, who rather disappointed Mack last season. The status of Galloway at short is also rather unsettled. Mack has let it be known that he will listen to bids for that player. in srraignr, sets ana wins national tennis title Dernpsey tells Wills to go get a reputation.
