They are Herbie Lewis of the De- troit Cougars and Cooney Welland of the Boston Bruins. Lewis formerly played with Duluth and Weiland with Minneapolis, in the American Hockey association. Herbie was key man in the attack of the Duluth Hornets, 1928 cham- A. His tricky play- carrying the puck or trying to keep-the opposition from carrying it brought him fame as the class of centers; i. e., the class of centers outside of Cooney Weiland.

His face, incidentally, was quite a good-looking one in the old days, as can be seen in this picture. Joe, the middle figure in the rear line, was quite a heart- breaker when this group posed at South Beach, N. Y., in the early nineties. He would hardly qualify as a Don Juan today, but nevertheless he is known to thousands upon thousands of fight enthusiasts.

Phantoms to Meet Washburn Tonight Determined to stop the basketball antics of Shaky Schaumberg, former Jamestown College star and now cen- ter of the Washburn American Le- gion team, the Bismarck Phantoms hope to stop the McLean county team at the high school gymnasium at 8 o'clock tonight. The Washburn crowd holds an early-season victory over the local crew in a game played at Washburn. Schaumberg played a great game against the Phantoms last time. The local outfit believes that they can whip Washburn if they can stop the big center from running up his usual allotment of field goals. ‘The Phantoms are in good shape for the game tonight.

Hockey Leadership Is More Uncertain Americans May Overtake the Canadiens Again; Boston Worries Rangers New York, Jan. 31—(#)—The lead- ership of the National Hockey League the season progresses. Les Cana- diens of Montreal, who won the top rung in the International group tak- ing two strenuous games on succes- sive nights, get a well earned rest to- |night but that rest may cost them first place. i While they are idle, the New York Americans, who dropped into second Place by a@ one-point margin, clash with the Rangers in the last of their intra-city battles. A victory would put them ahead again and would give ae their first championship of the y. Another threat to the leadership lies in the meeting between Boston and Toronto. As a result of their long winning streak, extending to 12 games without a defeat, the Bruins are only. two points behind the Rangers in the American group standing. —_— YOUNG BUT AWFUL GOOD Milke Murphy, former Yale fresh- man rowing coach, who signed recently as head coach at Wisconsin, is the youngest varsity coach in the country.

The fellow who can Stand the cold water longer than the others can win even if he can’t swim within a quarter of a mile of the oth- ers.” Ross, before he turned professional, ‘was one of the greatest swimmers in the world. Or better, he was the most Prominent swimmer in the world be- cause he is perhaps a greater swim- mer now than he was then. He was the original record buster and then Johnny Weismuller came along, but there are some critics now who will give you a good argument that Weis- muller was not a greater all-round swimmer than Ross. Got All M The great Norman got all the medal: id the glory he wanted out of the amateur racket before he de- cided to turn professional. He saw most of the world, with the freight paid and when he began to outgrow the sprint classes he decided to turn professional. Weismuller went through the same course and he, too, retired from amateur competition just re- cently. “I never was a fellow who shivered at the touch of cold water,” Ross went on. “But when I was in that Lake {Ontario water for a while I thought I was going to freeze. The thought that kept me going was the conviction Seems to become more uncertain as that I could stand it as well or better than some of the others and that if I was suffering they were suffering just as much. Finally it got so that I couldn’t move any more and it doesn’t take a scientist to teach you what happens if you stay ina lake and don’t move. I had to give up. “I came back to Chicago and I de- cided that if it took only a tough hide that would stand ice water to win the next race I would have it won before I jumped in. I don’t know whether the water in Ontario is any colder than the Lake Michigan water in win- ter but I don't see how it could be any colder, “I started taking a daily plunge in Lake Michigan before the boys brought out their coon-skin coats and flasks for football, I didn’t stay in very long at first but I gradually in- creased the time as the weather grew colder. It was a tough job not only because it was hard to stay in the water but because a lot of nuts would gather around and give me the razz- berry. Weather Extremely Cold “I found when the weather got ex- tremely cold that I didn't notice the temperature of the water so much. \ This is not an original discovery. Every swimmer knows it.

These young men who scaled the heights of athletic brilliance in east- ern college circles, especially in foot- ball and hockey, are now swinging sticks in the National Hockey league. Owen, a graduate of Harvard, after resisting overtures made by the pro football moguls, needed four years to make up his mind not to resist the hockey offers. Lane was action personified in snapping up a pro proposition. He joined the majors immediately after finishing his college course last year. Owen, one of the crimson’s greatest football and all-around stars, is with the Boston Sruins, while Lane, @ former Dartmouth athletic luminary, wears the colors of the Nevy York Rangers. Both are defense men. Owen who broke into the pro game two months after Lane's entrance, is aregular. Lane, younger and less ex- perienced than the old Harvard hero, rates as a spare with the . Owen has been more than just a Player with Boston and his consist- ently good work has helped the Bruins set a warm pace for the lead- ing ming along,” as the hockey critics say, but his chief claim to fame still is that of being the first player to jump direct from college hockey to the big league. The two former simon pure blade specialists are in line for company from the college ranks. The schools are turning out more and better play- ers each year, and pro hockey is spreading, with a consequent in- creased demand for talent. So an- other year and several young men, now playing for glory, will be getting paid for their disc shooting. ry i ry ° Fights Last Night | ee?

Starting late this month, a score or more of tournaments will attract such leaders of the American courts as Johnny Hennessey, Francis Hunt~ er, Bill Tilden and probably Frank X. Shields, the national junior cham- pion of 1927. Jean Borotra, the Bounding Bas- que of the French nets, ha: 0 sig nified his intention of coming to Florida for the tournaments around Palm Beach and Miami. A member of the Davis cup team of his coun- try for the past two years, Borotra has played important roles in French supremacy, It is considered probable that the United States Lawn Tennis associ- ation again will establish a Davis cup training camp at Augusta, Ga., the squad having rounded out so well and rapidly there last spring for the invasion of Mexico City. Should this plan again be followed the players eoming directly from the Florida season would be near top form by the time the Augusta camp opened. The Ormond Beach men’s cham- pionship, the Bahamas championship, the Dixie championship, the Florida men’s tournament, South Florida mect and the Southeastern chame pionship are the major tournaments set for Florida and the neighboring territory. These meets run from Jan- uary 24 until March 20.
