THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1980 GOLRSTAR WISBY Bobby Jones Given Outstanding Amateur Athletic Trophy for 1930 SCHMELING MUST BATTLE SHARKEY TO KEEP WORLD TITLE BIG MARGIN OVER 9 ‘Capital City Five to Meet Linton Friday OTHER CANDIDATES; Golfing Champ Receives Twice as Many Votes as Near- est Competitor FIRST TIME AWARD GIVEN Committee Believes Jones Stands Out as Thorough Sportsman New York, Dec. 17.—(?)—Bobby Jone’s last and greatest campaign has won for him the Sullivan memorial award as this country’s outstand- ing amateur athlete during 1930. Jones; who won all four major golfing championships in a single year, won out by an overwhelming margin over a field of nine other candidates for the award, given for the first time in memory of James E. Sullivan, pioneer worker in the A. v. AU. The award, a gold medal, goes “to the athlete who by his performance has done most during the year to advance the cause of sportsman- ship.” Some members of the A. A. U. me- morial committee felt that Jones, by abandoning amateur competition and signing a movie contract, automati- cally had eliminated himself from the contest but a large majority pointed out that the.contestants were to be judged on what they were and what they had accomplished during the year. Furthermore it was the gen- eral opinion that the Atlantan’s ac- tion in signing the movie contract, had been “entirely above board and marked by that frankness and openess which always has been one of his characteristics” and had made him “stand out more than ever as & thorough sportsman.” Jones received 1625 votes, more than twice as many as the runner- up, Clarence Demar, famous mara- thon runner from Melrose, Mass., who was given 800. Ballots cast for the other eight candidates follow: Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, tennis, 666. Helene Madison, Seattle, Wash., swimming, 375. Barney Berlinger, Univ. of Penn- sylvania, track, 255.

Nodak Five Beats Cobbers 32 to 24 in First Home Battle North Dakota Has Advantage in Height and Shooting Accuracy Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 17.—(?)— ‘The University of North Dakota bas- ketball quint opened its home season last night by defeating Concordia col- lege of Moorhead, Minn., 32 to 24, in ® practice contest. ‘The Cobbers played the Nodaks on even terms except for above five min- utes midway in the second half, when Clem Letich’s quint of six-footers passed and shot in mid-season form to pile up its winning margin. Concordia was faster on the floor and gained many more shots than the Nodaks, but failed to make good their opportunities. North Dakota’s ad- vantage in height and more accurate shooting proved a margin too big for the collegians to overcome. ‘The Cobbers at one time in the first period had a 14 to 12 lead, but Uni- versity led at the half, 18 to 14. ‘The summary: “ if North Dakota (32)— FG FT PF Stars Tell of ‘Special aNorth Dakota GET PE Inducements’ ay ee nc te Springfield, O.

The squad contains only one let- terman this season, Leland Orfield, 148 pound grappler. In addition, however, Coach McKusick has several steed veterans from last season Ortfield won four out of five matches last year and placed in the confer- ence meet. He is a strong, rugged chap with plenty of speed. Another veteran, although not a letterman who shows promise is John Hanna, Burns City, Ind., boy, who wrestled in 168 pound class.

THATS: REFUSE STRIBLING TITLE Madison Square Garden Has No Intention of Holding Car- nera Fight New York, Dec. 17.—(7)—The New York state athletic commission has re-shuffled the heavyweight deck without affecting the relative position of the cards. The recognized champion, Max Schmeling of Germany, has been no- tified that he must accept within fif- teen days a challenge from Jack Sharkey, Boston sailor man. Schmeling was advised of the com- mission's action in a cablegram, sent by Chairman James A. Farley, which said: Period Expired Dec. 12 “There is on file in this office a challenge directed at you by Jack Sharkey. Your six month period in which to defend the title expired Dec. 12. You are directed to advise within fifteen days from date your accep- tance of the above challenge.” Sharkey thus once more is picked as the logical contender and will get another chance to redeem himself for; some of the miserable exhibitions hej has put up in important matches. Schmeling won the title iast June when Sharkey fouled him. Schmeling’s acceptance of the chal-. lenge was considered virtuaily certain but should he refuse it, he will be Suspended. Stribling Is Ignored ‘The commission ignored the some- what general view that W. L. (Young) Stribling of Macon, Ga., is this coun- try’s best heavyweight at the mo- ment. The solons apparently took the position that since Sharkey had beaten Stribling once there was no real reason why he should be forced to battle him again. Ignored also were the rising crop of younger heavyweights among whom is Max Baer, Pacific coast slugger, who makes his New York debut against Ernie Schdaf of Boston in Madison ‘Square Garden Friday night. Coincident with the commission’s action, it was revealed that the Gar- den had no intention of arranging a match between Stribling and Primo Carnera in Miami, Fla., ths winter with the survivor battling Sharkey here in April. Under this reported arrangement, the winner of the April bout would have met Schmeling for the title in June. 5 Greenleaf Faces Uphill Battle to Keep Pool Crown Billiard Champ Must Defeat New York Player Thursday Night to Keep Title New York, Dec. 17—(#)—Once more Ralph Greenleaf, of New York, faces an uphill battle to retain his world’s pocket billiards championship. As a result of the spectacular play of Erwin Rudolph, Chicago ace, Greenleaf must defeat Onofrio Lauri of New York in the championship tournament tonight and Rudolph to- morrow night to gain a tie. Should he accomplish this he then would have to meet Rudolph in a playoff for the title. That’s a large contract for any billiard player but Greenleaf accom- plished it last year and he may be able to repeat. Rudolph hung up his sixth succes- sive victory of.the tournament last night, defeating Arthur Woods, New York, 125 to 108 in 33 innings. Mott Basketeers to Meet Hebron Quint Mott, N.

Phantoms Defeat New Salem Quint In Hard-Fought Go Bismarck Team Emerges Victor ) by 38-14 Count; Tilt Ragged in Spots Bismarck’s Phantoms defeated New Salem last night on the New Salem floor 38 to 14. The game was hard- fought and fast but rough and ragged in spots. The New Salem team missed sev- eral set ups and did not play their usual floor game. The Phantoms showed improved team play and Elmer Benser in his new position at guard and George Heidt, guard, smothered New Salem's offense. Austin Smith played center posi- tion most of the game and showed to as good advantage there as he does at guard. George “Shaky” Shaum- berg did not start the game and went in at forward near the end of the third quarter. In the last quarter he started to get “hot” and shot four field goals. Carl Thornburg, high point man for last year’s fast state training school team did not hit his usual stride, missing several set ups but played a bang-up floor game. Lefty Blair also missed several set- ups but played a good floor game. A game was arranged for Jan. 10 with the fast Glen Ullin team to be played on the New Salem floor. Glen Ullin has defeated everything they have the Phantoms will have to extend themselves to the limit to win. Last night’s summary: New Salem (14)— Just, rf Suger, If wW. Kire!

Bl comment er! met this year by a large score and/| Haskell Ace Proves Versatile Athletic Ability in All Sports - A young man from the Oneida reservation, who got his start chasing foxes across the Dakota prairies, is being hailed as “another Jim 'Thorpe.” Which makes it appear he has his work all cut out for ‘him—in ‘a big way. The young man is Wilson Charles of Haskell. They call him “Buster” out in Lawrence, Kansas, where he plays football and baseball and has Proved hig ability as a three-star track performer. Other good Indians have come for- ward with promise of becoming sec- ond Jim Thorpes, but all of them fell sliort of the glorious goal attained by the mighty Sac and Fox. Buster Charles, however, is but 21. He has not reached the height of his powers as an all-around athelte Golden years lie ahead of him, and if he can improve in the next few years as he has since he went to Haskell, the Promise of “another Thorpe” actually may be realized.” Has Been Regular Fullback At Haskell for two years, Buster has been the regular fullback. As a ground gainer he has proved his value. Although Lone Star Dietz, his mentor, says he has not reached the point yet where, like Thorpe, he can say, “Gimme the ball,” and take the pellet over the hills and far away, the time is not far off when they will leat on Buster whenever they need {nine or 10 on third down. Last year in basketball, Buster was captain of the team and one of its principal point makers. He easily won a place on the Has- kell baseball team, but has played only a few games because his direc- tors have deemed his powers of more value on the track. During the 1929- 30 track season he often scored al- most as many points as all other members of the team combined. Wins Decathlon The climax of Charles’ track efforts was reached in Pittsburgh recently, where he won the decathlon cham- pionship during the A. A. U. games. ‘The young Oneidan ran up 4,706 Points, defeating his nearest com- petitor, James Stewart, the Southern California star, by nearly 50 points. Charles topped the field in the broad jump with 22 feet 1% inches, He was third in the 400-meters, tied for third in the high jump, tied for fourth in the 100 meters, fifth in the shotput and fifth in the 110-meter hurdles. ‘ Charles’ great chance to live up to the bright name for his race written by Jim Thorpe’s strong hand will come in the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles. Buster was born at Green Bay, Wis. and is the son of Wilson Charles, director of athletics at the Flandreau Indian school, Flandreau, 8S. D. The father was an all-round athlete at Carlisle a quarter of a cen- tury ago. [Sport Slants} National League baseball men,| eq, arches easing their aching around the hotel lobbies of New York early in December, already anticipate an- other wide-open struggle for the 1931 pennant. Most of them doubt the Cardinals will repeat their great dash down the stretch of 1930 to win. They regard the Chicago Cubs as dangerous, but: also as unlikely to land on top. By this process of elimination, they fig- ure New York and Brooklyn will wage bitter warfare as possible co- favorites. Pittsburgh, the lobbyists say, looms as the “dark horse,” since no discussion of pennant prospects is complete without the entry of a shadowy animal. “Tell me who's going to win the in the American League,” remarked Mythical All-Stars Chicago Times Selects Profes- sional Gridiron Mythical Eleven Chicago, Dec. 17.—(7)—The Chica- go Bears, third place winners in the 1930 championship race, placed three players on the All-Star National Pro- fessional Football League team as Picked by the Chicago Times.

QUIET AND CONFIDENT MAN HEADS FEDERAL STABILIZATION GROUP George S. Milnor Tells How De- cember Wheat Was Kept Above 73 Cents Chicago, Dec. 17.—(7)—At the head desk of the government-financed Stabilization corporation, which has bulwarked the wheat market of the United States against world depres- sion, is George S. Milnor, quiet, ur- bane, confident—a composite of thou- sands of successful business men in thousands of small cities. Possibly none ever entered the fam- ous Chicago wheat “pit” with more millions of dollars at his command, and greater freedom to use them. Certainly no trader ever had a more commission—halting the downward trend of wheat despite prices in Winnipeg, Liverpool, Buenos Aires and other foreign markets. Raised In Illinois Milnor is from Alton, Ill. He be- gan at the bottom with the Sparks Milling company there about 20 years ago. He resigned its presidency early this year to succeed William G. Kel- logg as general manager of the Stab- ilization corporation. Since the middle of November the Stabilization corporation has kept the December price above 73 cents while elsewhere in the world wheat markets it has been dropping stead- ily downward. How many millions of bushels of wheat it has bought only Chairnian Legge of the farm government officials know. And they are not telling. “We don’t pretend to affect world Milnor Price of wheat in the United States is not fixed by the world market. This country is not on a world basis in Mr. Milnor related how on Nov. 1% with December deliveries at 73 cents, the Stabilization corporation decided to strengthen the market. “We gave orders to buy all offer- ings at 73 cents. And we bought them; had storage facilities for them and halted the downward course.” Had Steadying Effect Just the fact that the agency woul take all deliveries, he explained had 3 steadying effect. There have been times during the last month that the 5 ” between Chicago and other world markets was 20 to 25 cents a bushel. Milnor is too busy to be casually reached for an interview. Appoint- ments are rare, and once made likely are to be postponed several times. He will not be photographed. He is middle-aged, medium sized, with light brown hair, quiet, courteous. His of- fice is quiet. Pictures of farm activ- ities hang on the wall, yet he never lived on a farm. In a corner is a ticker, but little ticker tape. “What of next year?” he was ask- ) next year!
