As was pointed out in a recent

tance running and field event. coin-
petition. A natural aptitude for
such events, and the absence, until
recently. of properly constructed
cinder trucks in their native coun-
try, have bet-n largely responsible
for their failure to dechOp «prin-

hurdlcrs. and they have yet to per-

Centre College oids farewell to
"Uncle Charley."
The rcsignatiom of several promi-
nent football coaches have been an-
nounced since the 1923 season ended.
but it: is safe to say none of their
number has oecasioned to the gradu-
ates and uddergraduates of their col—
leges the- deep and genuine regret
that is being evidenced by Centre
College men as the result of the res-
ignation of Charlie Moran. as Cen—
tre's football coach. -
He has accepted an attractive offer
from Bucknell.
Before "Uncle Charley" came to
Center. that little college had pro-
duced endless numbers of governors,
senators. college presidents. and oth-
er leaders in "'19 field of statesmnn-
ship, academics, isle" but it was not
5
until "Uncle Charley" Moran's~-ar-
rival that the world in xenem'knew
1
about it.
"Uncle Charley" developed a. foot-
ball team which the world simply
had to notice, and having noticed
the world began to inquire the loca-
tion and history of the hitherto un-
known southern college.
He came at a very low salary and
his duties required him to coach and
train the football squad. repair and
re-clcnt the players' hoes and look
after their equipment. "Uncle Char-
Icy" did all those things and turned
out the record—scoring football elev-
cns of 1918 and 1919 and teams that
ranked with the highest scorers in
1920:21-22-23. His Centre gridders
went unbeaten for two years and
numbered among their vanquished
such sturdy clevens as those of Har-
vard. \Vest Virginia and Indiana.
Last fall there were more men on
the Centre football squad than there
were in the college when “Uncle
Charley” first came.
Such is the advertising value of a
flashy football team and such is
Centre's. debt to its much-loved
coach.

Team —1Stan Out
Among Runners
NEW’ YORK. Jan. 12.—If Tom
Campbell fails to qualify in the final
try-out for the Olympic team some
of the best judges of human thor-
oughbreds will have missed their
guess. In this year of the Paris
Olympics, Campbell stands out as
strongly among American half-milers
as he did in 1920 prior to the Ant-
werp games. The four that have
elapsed since then have only added
to his experience. d—lis speed and
stamina are {till with him.
It was of Campbell that Alonzo A.
Stags. Coach of the University of
Chicago, once said that he Was the
greatest middle distance runner ever
developed in a prep school. and that
some day he would be\one of the best
in the land. That was back in 1915.
while Campbell was still attending
University High. Chicago.
Since then the famous half-miler
has finished high school. been
through the war competed with
honor in the 1920 Olympic. gradu-
ated at Yale,'won several A. A. U.
and intercollegiate championships
and hundreds of races. and today. at
ivveniy-four. he is generally picked
to win points for the United States
during the impending Paris meet.
According to Jake Weber. veter-
an coach of the Fordham track team
Campbell will be one of the main-
stays of the American middle dis-
tance crew at Paris Jake feels cer.
tain that the former Yale star not
only will win out at the Cambridge
try-outs but that he will come
through with a victory in the final
of the international classic.
“Campbell is running better right
now than he ever did in his life—
which is saying a lot." said Weber.
"\Vith any kind of a decent break
he should run away from his field
over there."

If Cincinnati fans ever had high
hopes for another pennant. this is
the year. At this moment Pot Moran
seems to have a. fine chance to pilot
the Reds to the Natiohal League
championship. If Garry Hermann‘s
troupe fails to correct the coming
season, it will not be because of a
weak pitching staff, a wobbly infield,
a lame outfield, or a. shaky catch-
ing division. Nor will it be because
of powerful opposition.
It looks like Moran's big chance.
He will have the strongest pitching
squad in the big leagues—bigger
and better than his 1923 staff. which
was the best in the National League.
The rest of his club is intact. What
more can a manager ask? No ex—
pense has been spared to get three
new moundsmen. Garry Hermann
seems to be indeadly earnest about
winning a. pennant for his fickle
rooters after last year's debacle.
If Pat Moran does not succeed this
season. there will be loud cries for
somebody's scalp, perhaps civil war
and secession, on the banks of the
murky 01110.
Last year Adolfo Luque. the Cu-
ban perfecto, led the National

teammate a good second in earned
runs. Petey Donahue won fifteen
games and lost nine. and the'vete-
ran Rube Benton had a fine year.
