With hit long, perfectly timed itrokes, broad smile, close fitting tights, and a half lemon, Dick Johnson, brilliant Chicago skater, dominated the fourth annual intermount&in tournament of the A. A. U. Saturday afternoon at Heaths rink. Johnson was anchor man on the winning relay, won the 440, 880 and mile events for men, and probably would have taken the 220 had he not fallen just as he rounded the sharp curve at the east end of the pond, The largest crowd ever to watch t a skating event In Salt Lake turned j NEW YORK, Dec. 71 (AP). The old familiar facts of intercollegiate sport were turned tonight toward New York City, where the American Football Coaches association ahdthe National Gollegiatt Athletic association will meet in annual conventions next week. The coaches will get together Monday to disenss the rnlei, Dr. Nicholas Murray Bntler's. suggestions for taking the emphasis ont of their vocation and other kindred subjects. r out for the meet. Johnson Makes Excellent Time, Although no official records have been kept, Johnson's time Is prob- ably the best that have ever been! made In Utah. He negotiated the 220 In his heat In 17.1, as compared with the time of! 25 which won the event for Carl! Nielson last season.

The Chicago sensation won the mile In 3:31 w hich Is more than a minute better than that of Louie Trtnko. whose time last season was 4:51 After the meet It was rumored that Johnson's friends were attempting to arrange for some sort of a race with Ray Sorensen, who dominated local skating circles for a number of years. 8orensen has done very little did not take skating lately, and hetournament. part In last seasons Figure Skating to Be Held New Years. The figure skating was postponed s, until New Year's day by Bert chairman of the A. A U. skating committee, because of a lack of participants. Hugh Whytock, Jr., the defending tltleholder, was unable to leave his work In Park City, and his only competitor was Clarence Reeves. Tom Penulana, the Montana champion. who had said he would enter if the A. A U. would pay his expenses, did not show up. The A. A U. has no funds for such a purpose, according to Marge tts. The 220 was probably the most ex citing race of the afternoon. Carl Nielson and Johnson won their heats In comparatively easy fashion, and for the first 100 yards of the final heat hooked up In a great duel. But Johnson swerved too sharply at the turn, stumbled and fell. He regained his feet quickly and crossed the finish line In third place, however. Dick had no trouble whatever In winning the longer races. In the 440 he took the lead at the outset, and although Taylor followed him closely . 5, They will top off the day with the annual brown derby" banquet, .their Gridiron dinner," where practically everything is cussed and discussed.

Vt UF Otis Crandall, who pitched for the New York Giants from 1908 to 1913, and later for Loo Angeles of the Pacific Coast kague, has been signed a coach by the Pittsburgh Pirates for the 1931 season. Oscar Stanage, who has been a Pirate tutor for a number of years, has been retained for 1931. Max Carey, former Pittsburgh and Brooklyn outfielder, was released as a coach some weeks ago. rd Two Boys' Races. Little David Severn demanded some of the spotlight of the meet. This youngster won both the 220 and 440 for boys from 10 to 12 years old. Bill Heath threatened to nose him out In both races, and took close seconds. Mel Mayo and Don Davis tied for first In the 220 for boys of from 12 to 15 years old. Ted Bywater was third. Morris Scanlon captured the 440 for boys of the same class. Leonora Harris won the girls' race. Florence Soule was second and Prls-celBonner, third. Carl Nielson, who Injured his hip while working out In a gym several w ceks ago, aggravated the injury in one of the races, and was unable to take part In the special mile relay between teams from Logan and 8alt Lake. Consequently the Salt Lakers, with Johnson leading them, won easily. The Salt Lake team consisted of Johnson. Taylor, Gifford Smith. Bates and Trlnko, and the Logan quintet of Ted Nielson, Ariel Hoth. Jim Grislin. Wllford Knight and Emerson Sturdevant. The latter two. Salt Lakers, substituted on the Logan team. B. Y. U.

Wis- consin, and Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech, president of the coaches association, are bringing their pet trier- -' ance to New York the point after touchdown. , Both want it abolished, holding It to .be a nuisance that adds little or nothing to the drama of the game. There are many who will hold to the contrary, especially those who are fond of relating how Brlckley and Poe and Ollphant and other greet kickers of the game used to send a football winging through the goalposts. and who stoutly resist any and all efforts tondelng to legislate out of existence the kicking features of the game. Then there is the' suggestion of Frank Murray, ooaoh of Marquette universitys successful football teams, that the end cone area be doubled, running back 30 yards behind the goolpofta. The basis fcr. the suggestion Is that It would give the forward pass receivers more room In which to operate. Few, If Any, More Change in Prospect. Just what recommendations T. K. Hall, chairman of the football rules committee, will make to the N. C. A. A. have not been divulged, but it to believed he will suggest no changes.
