Sport Notes
Joe Rivers' sensational victory over Pete Sarmiento in Kansas City New Year's day stamps him as a comer in the featherweight rankings. Sarmiento probably has slipped some in the past two years but any man that beats him is entitled to consideration as one of his fathers. His first time that Kansas City has had a real first class fighting man since Harvey Thurpe was in his prime.
The University of Utah went all the way to Honolulu during the vacation and beat the University of Hawaii football team 17 to 7, the first time a mainland team has ever been able to take the measure of the Islanders.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association and other-collegiate bodies are making a fight against the Amateur Athletic Union's domination of the American Olympic Committee. The A. A. U. U. sets the eligibility rates for American Olympic participants who are charged a fee by the A. A. U. U. to participate in the farnish most of the men that take part. The collegemen ask why an outside organization should have so much to say on college men's eligibility. Keep up the fight. N. C. A. A., and more power to you.
The football coaches association in session during the holidays at New York saw fit to bar Steve O'Rourke, St. Mary's College coach, from its membership for alleged use of information of men acquainted with the situation is that O'Rourke was guilty of getting caught more than doing the unusual. They seem to think that if the coaches would investigate the case they would deprive the players they would have to bar about two-thirds of their membership.
It is reported from Columbia that Gwynn Henry is considering offers from other schools for his coaching services. Henry has had marked success in his four seasons at Missouri and prior to that had turned out strong teams at the College of Emory, and it is no surprise successor to Potty Clark is reported to have made Henry some offers last year and it is no surprise that larger schools are after his services. It is hinted that a Big Ten school wants him, and he has a large southern school. He is big. Big is not know, but we would guess that it isn't Michigan, Ohio State, Northwestern, Minnesota or Illinois. Old Man Stagg will probably stay at Chicago so that leaves it up to Wisconsin, but he also leaves the south we know of only three schools that could well afford to outbid Missouri for his services—Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech and Alabama.
Henry is a fine coach, a teacher of good sportsmanship and clean athletics and we hope that the Tiger can be able to keep him in the Valley.
Swimmers Start Work
Three swimming meets have been scheduled to date, but the schools and dates will be announced later.
Herbert Alphin, swimming coach, announced first call for variums swimmer yesterday and about fifteen men turned out for the initial practice. This was according to Coach Alphin, is a good indicator of the increasing popularity of swimming as a collegiate sport. So far none of last year's variums man have reported but they are expected out for practice later in the week.
Squad Working Hard to Appear in Approaching Meets
During January the swimmers will meet three times a week on Monday, Tuesday and Friday, for an hour's intensive practice and if possible, practice will be held on Saturday.

St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 3—A field goal by Stradskjold of the Kansas Angels in the last twenty seconds of play broke a 28 to 28 and gave the KC team possession over the Hillaryards here tonight. The game was a see-saw affair throughout and at no time did either team hold a decided advantage. The 2500 spectators were kept on their feet during the thrilling plays were made repeatedly.
With only a minute left to play the Hillyards were trailing by a 28 to 24 count. Deberhart, here of countless games and one of the greatest basketball players of all time, was putting all the right he could into his teammates, but the finally offensive of the Wildcats could not be stopped.
it remained for "Long" John Wollf, former Kansas star and all-Nil Valley center, to start the Hilbard rally. He hit four home runs and the ball to Loveless who was standing beneath the basket. The shot was good. Then DelBernardi dribbled a fastball through his own less, who again heavened the ball through the rim. The score was tied.
The Hillaryards substituted Moucher for Hewitt and again started their desperate offence. Loveless again did not get the tip off, and this did not get the tip off and this ended
