Crowds at some of the local games have fallen off this year because some of the teams are not up to their usual standards. City College, with a great team, has drawn well at every game. Manhattan has had its troubles, but of course will do well in its annual classics with St. John's and N. Y.

U. On the other hand, the Dartmouth-Manhattan game fell rather flat. The tide of popularity has turned in Pittsburgh, too. Pitt is not draw tng so well, but Duquesne is going to move some of its games out of the college gym into Motor Square Garden, so great is the demand, Carnegie Tech haa found that broadcasting its home games stirs up enthusiasm, and is going to have its gym enlarged. St.

John's, something of a perennial basketball boss hereabouts, may have a gymn of its own by next season. Right now the Indians have three band-boxes that can hold neither two good teams on the floor nor a fair crowd in the stands. Plans to enlarge the old college gym on Willoughby Ave, will probably be completed soon. Under this arrangement, the side of the college building would be broken out and the swimming pool done away with. A court measuring 85 by 50 feet would then be run parallel with Lewis Ave.

The present court, where the college team practices but hasn't played a game In two years, measures a meagre 55 by 50 feet. The present college gym seats about 400. The enlarged court would allow for seats for perhaps 1,000. which even then would fall far short of accommodating most of the crowds.

Over-Night Sensation Resembling a miniature Sonny workman. Mills earned a remarkably large following practically over night. During the Tropical Park season he rode 27 winners and continued his sensational work at Hialeah. Mills has become famous for great finishes. He is strong for his weight, most of his power being well placed in the upper part of his body.

Many competent judges have proclaimed him the most promising apprentice Jockey since Workman swept the Winter turf in his apprentice days He never gets flustered in the thick of a tight race and can hand ride or whip smoothly with equal ability.

This was the first setback for the Owls in three games in the second half of the schedule. their methods, so that now it Is much harder to detect the use of drugs on a horse. But it's still being used largely on cheap platers and wornout equine wrecks that need the hopalong juice to make them forget their pains and aches and to preliminary hearing before O. B.

United States Commissioner, Trainer Underwood was held under $5,000 bond for hearing on similar charges. Charles Burton, owner of race horses, was held for hearing on charges of possessing narcotics. The arrests, which caused quite a hubbub In racing circles in Florida, followed several weeks' Investigation by under-cover narcotic agents, who alleged they made purchases of drugs from these and other alleged members of what is termed a nar cotic ring of racketeers. The Underwoods and Burton are better known in the Middle West and Southwest than on the Eastern racing circuit. Charles Underwood played no great part as a Jockey in New York.

L. B. Underwood only at periods brought horses on to train in the Empire 8tate. Charles Burton had only a small string of cheap platers. DOPE FIRST USED A TTHE GUT The use of drugs on thoroughbreds in order to stimulate them to greater speed first came into vogue at the old Guttenburg race track, New Jersey, years and years ago.

At that time it was new to the game. A veterinarian of those days, known as Dr. Ring, was the first one to uee it. At that time it was the methods of trainers to stimulate, or "drench," as they called it, a horse by giving him a light wine or whiskey to put pep into him. This drenching process was largely indulged in during heat races.

The heat races then were the order of the day, as is the method still among the harness horses, trotters and pacers. At that period the running horses raced "the best two out of three heats." In order to pep up a sluggish horse in a heat so that he wouldn't be behind the distance flag, a light wine in the form of sherry, or a dose of whiskey was poured down his throat a goodly portion. THE 'DOPE' VS. DRENCH Not enough whiskey was administered to make the horse drunk. Far from that, just enough to make him frisky to pep him up.

There was no turf tew against that process, because it left no aftermath and no ill effects on the horse. He was normal in a short time after the race after he had cooled out. Of course, every race wasn't a heat race in those days as it was among the harness horses. Tnere were many races of the sprinting kind and races of long distances. But there were races of the heat description of a mile, mile and a furlong and a few at four miles.

The Sheepshead Bay track had a memorable stake of four-mile heats for which the famous Woodlawn Vase was a trophy. Those were the days of such great plodders as Glen-more, Bushwacker and others. It was Dr. Ring who thought of the idea of injecting a Bpeed elixir as he called it into the horses during the racing at Guttenburg to Increase their speed. The last race of the day at the Guttenburg track was always at seven furlongs.

In those days as now, in Winter. Old Sol went to bed early. The horses were led out from the paddock and went directly to the starting post of seven furlongs, only a few yards away from the saddling place. That saved time and daylight. And at the post stood James F.

Caldwell, known far and wide as the "Prince of Starters." Caldwell didn't give much time to the jockeys or the horses in the preparation of the start for the test race. There were two reasons nipping cold and a hot dinner that was awaiting the starter and the patrons of the track. There was a long trek down the hill to the ferry at Weehawken. the boats from which took the racegoers to 42d St. and downtown to Franklin St, Manhattan.

We used to call that start "the hot soup." UsuaUy It was good, but at times it was awful. But there were never any great delays. HORSES SOON BECOME ADDICTS There was a horse called Blackthorn racing on which Dr. Ring made his experiment. Now, Blackthorn was a fair sort of selling-plater under ordinary conditions.

But with the speed-producing elixir In him he became a regular winner. He stepped down in front several times in succession. His speed value hopped up, so to speak. Soon Dr. Ring's prescription was eagerly sought It became quite the fad.

Then came the aftermath the curse. Some unscrupulous owners and trainers would hop the horses in some races and on other days would not administer the drug. Hence the beginning of the phrase "hot and cold." The horse when stimulated with the dope showed its effects by sweating profusely. He was all steamed up. When not touched up with the drug his coat was dry and he walked and raced in listless fashion.

He was cold; he had become an It was this hot and cold process that brought forth a ruling from the turf authorities. They made it a violation punishable by "ruling off" the turf those men who were using drugs on their horses, to hose days the marks of the medle were easily detected.

Unless "Give the boys roller pleads Mr.

Flath of the Brooklyn Roller Rink, who is something of an expert on conditioning, particu larly in skating. "Roller skating develops the same muscles as ice skating. Or let them do a lot of road work every day. Otherwise we won have a chance." Another Menaker Mixup The track world is still brewing up indictments of the tuxedoed and beribboned gentlemen who bossed the Jefferson games at the 106th Infantry Armory Saturday. A lot of people are still wondering where Ssol Menaker and Leo Lermond and some of the other runners really did iinisn.

Here's a new angle: The night before the Jefferson jumble, Menaker was running in the P. S. A. L. championships at the Old 13th Regiment Armory.

Sol was shooting at the 10 1-5 second record for the 100-yard dash, which Frank Hussey made while at Stuy- vesant. Five eminent gentlemen with watches stood at the finish line. "Ten flat," said the first after the race. Menaker scented immortality ned Droken Hussey a record. "Ten and a fifth," said the second.

Well, Sol had tied the record, anyway, he thought, and 'twould be nice to hold it jointly with the great Hussey. "Ten and two-fifths," said the other three gentlemen. And that was the figure they gave the press. Just another race, no records, and a shattered dream for Menaker. Is it the watches or what? The youngster can really run a 10 1-5 century, for he did it 24 hours later at a bigger meet.

How about installing tfte electric timing device at all meets? No More "Minors Are there any "minor sports" in this intercollegiate world of ours any more? Lehigh students follow and cheer their wrestling team more than their football eleven. You're a hero in Bethlehem, If you make your letter in wrestling. Why? Because Lehigh is the boss of the East on the mat. The Brown and White has won seven intercollegiate championships In the past eight years, and was co-holder of the eighth diadem. Coach Sheridan has turned out 32 individual college champions at Lehigh during that time.

Boxing is far from a minor sport at the University of Virginia. In fact, the fistic sport supports a lot of other sports on the Virginia program, for it showed a profit of S15.000 at the end of last season.
