GIVEN WIDE LEAD IN ANNUAL CONTEST Vines, Tolan, Foxx, Bausch, Carr, Ruth, Newman, Geh- rig, Canzoneri Next 297 EXPERTS PARTICIPATED ball Stars Receive Unusual- ly Favorable Vote New York, Dec. 19.— Isb>asooe tion-wide poll on the outstanding day to disturb the ranking order of the list headed by Gene Sarazen winner of the American and British open championship with record- breaking golf. The slightly revised figures, how- ever, tightened the contest for posi- tions in the top flight and broke a sixth place tie in favor of Bill Carr, Olympic 400-meter champion, over the one and only Babe Ruth. Here's the final ranking of the first 10 in the contest, based upon the votes of sports writers and editors: 1, Gene Sarazen, golf 53. Ellsworth Vines, tennis 36. Eddie Tolan, track 34. Jimmie Foxx, baseball 33 Jim Bausch, decathlon 27. Bill Carr, track 25. Babe Ruth, baseball 20. Harry Newman, football 12. Lou Gehring, baseball 9. 10. Tony Canzoneri, boxing 8. The country’s experts cast a total of 297 votes in the second annual con- test to decide the year’s great per- former. The honor last year went to Pepper Martin, world series hero of the St. Louis Cardinals. ‘The voting disclosed the popularity of the Olympic track stars. Three of | them gained places in the first 10. An! odd contrast was that Eddie Tol received 34 votes for his double vic tory in the Olympic sprints, whercas| his dusky rival, Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette, got only one vote in rec- ognition of his sweep in the national | championshp sprint honors in_ the Olympic tryouts, where he beat Tolan at both 100 and 200 meters. Olin Dutra, professional golf cham- } pion, had his total increased to five votes in the late balloting but the} rush to elect Sarazen left most of the other golf talent out in the cold. Ross Somerville and Johnny Goodman. | winner and runner-up in the national | amateur, received one vote each, as| did Gus Moreland, western amateur | champion. | Harry Newman, Michigan's All- Amvrica quarterback, was the only football star much attention. Don Zimme! All- America ba ren Heller So did Li America center. Outside of Tony Canzoneri, light- | weight king, the professional box: also were largley ignored. Jack Shar- key, heayweicht champion, and his leading rivals, ax Schmeling and Max Bear, received one vote each.

Sharkey owns a “piece” of Schaaf's contract and has taken an acitve in- terest in the Boston blond’s career. With Sharkey in his corner to do some high-powered coaching, Ernie has been virtually invincible. With- out him, the big blond seems lost. After fighting his way into the forefront of the heavyweight lists, Schaaf suddenly fell into a dismal slump last summer when Sharkey was too busy with his own fistic con- cerns to bother about Ernie. He + dropped decisions to Stanley Poreda, Max Baer and Unknown Winston and seemed headed for the scrap- heap. Then Sharkey, the heavyweight title won, resumed his place in Schaaf's corner and Ernie proceeded to knock out Winston in six rounds at Boston last week. SSSPEREE BEECHER SSETR REESE Bes . tendance again this Friday night when Schaaf battles Poreda, a hard- punching youngster from Jersey City, in Madison Square Garden's feature 10-round bout. Poreda has been classed as one of the most promising of the younger crop of heavyweights. He is a deadly hitter, fast and fairiy clever. Young Corbett, Fresno welter- weight contender, opens this week’s program Monday night, battling Joe Glick, Brooklyn veteran, in a 10- rounder at San Francisco. Boston and Philadelphia also are holding shows Monday night.

Oregon Gridders Defeat Louisiana Only 12,000 Fans Turn Out in Bitter Weather to Watch 12 to 0 Conflict Baton Rouge, La., Dec. 19.—(4)— The stout football team of the Uni- versity of Oregon Saturday defeated the lighter eleven of Louisiana State university, 12 to 0. The game was played before a scant 12,000 spectators, who sat hud- dled in blankets under a biting wind. The visitors showed their superior strength by breaking through the Louisiana line, while the southerners were unable to dent the Oregon wall and confined their efforts in the main to end runs and forward passes. Each Oregon touchdown was start- ed by forward passes and completed by a series of line plunges with Mikulak, Kostka and Temple slam- ming through the holes opened by the powerful linemen. Oregon made its first touchdown ; from a 30-yard pass, Temple to Gee, which put the ball on Louisiana's 18- yard line. Four line crashes by Mi- kulak took the ball over the goal. The second touchdown was set up from a pass. Officials ruled a pass from Temple as complete because of interference by Almokary and the ball was brought to Louisiana's 24- yard line, where line plunges pushed the ball forward until Mikulak crash- it hitting streak was produced by| ed the line for the second touchdown. eee | Football Scores, Florida 12; U.

DAME THIS WEEK Favorites in Big Ten Conference Will Get an Idea of How Good They Are i Chicago, Dec. 19.—(P)—Two West- ern Conference basketball teams har- boring championship hopes, Purdue and Northwestern, will get an idea of how good they are this week when they meet Notre Dame in the top games of short but stiff schedules. Northwestern, winner of three straight games, will tackle the Irish at South Bend Tuesday night, and the Boilermakers, Big Ten defending champions, will try it against the strong South Bend five Friday night at Lafayette. Two intersectional games, both away from home floors. will be played. Illinois will play at Missour! Tuesday night, and Wisconsin will go south to meet Maryland Thursday. Indiana will go to Milwaukee to meet Mar- quette Tuesday night, and Nebraska and Minnesota will meet in the other game of the week's card Friday night at Minneapolis. Marquette, which lost to Northwest~ ern last week, evened its score with Big Ten teams Saturday night by de- feating Wisconsin 18 to 16 and joined with Western (Mich.) State teachers Wabash and Pittsburgh in winning over Big Ten teams. Western State won its second victory of the season over Michigan 30 to: 23 and Wabash trimmed Illinois 34 to 24. Pittsburgh, after losing to Northwestern Friday, came back to whip Minnesota 35 to Purdue and Iowa, however, Co! quered their non-conference oppo- inents. The Boilermakers walloped St. Louis university 47 to 27 and Iowa, with an altered lineup, broke Carle- ton's winning streak with a 34 to 19 triumph. HARPSTER TO COACH SKIBOS Pittsburgh, Dec. 19.—(P)—Return- ing to Carnegie Tech, where he spark- led as a quarterback on the Skibos’ | great team of 1928, Howard Harpster will take over the coaching portfolio at his alma mater next spring. An- nouncement of the appointment. of Harpster to succeeed Bob Waddell, who resigned a few days ago, was made Sunday night by Clarence Over- end, athletic director. By Williams | TRNILLIAMS el TAKES PASS FROM BRONKO 10 SCORE gin to 9 to 0 in Feature Game Sunday Contest Moved to Chicago Stad- ium to Insure Comfort of Gridiron Fans Chicago, Dec. 19.—(P)—Old “77”, Red Grange himself, may play no more football, but even if he doesn’t the touchdown that won the 1932 na- tional professional championship was added to his laurels Sunday. Mauled and battered by seven years of the professional brand of football, Grange came out in the final period Sunday night at the Chicago stadium to catch a forward pass from Bronko Nagurski for the points that brought victory to the Chicago Bears over the Portsmouth Spartans in their playoff game. Paul Engebretsen kicked for the ex- tra point, and a piece of ill fortune made the Spartans take a safety to make the score9 to0, but it was Grange’s touchdown that provided enough points for the title-bearing triumph, Grange has played with the idea of retiring from football after this sea- son, and with a championship won, and years of punishment behind him, may decide to do so. The contest was played in the stad- ium on a gridiron considerably less than regulation size, but the 12,000 fans who sat warm and snug in com- fortable seats saw a battle that lacked few of the thrills of the outdoor game. Punting and forward passing attacks functioned to bring exciting moments, and a couple of goal-line stands gave the fans thrills without any of the disadvantages of December weather. Grange had been knocked out of action in the first period, but after three scoreless periods, he went back to work. ‘The break came when Dick Nesbitt intercepted a pass from Fath- er Lumpkin and ran 10 yards to the seven-yard line. Nagurski tried the line twice for a total of two yards, then drifted back and shot a bullet pass that just cleared the Spartan secondary, into Grange’s hands. A bad pass from center a few mo- ments later was fumbled by Wilson, substitute Spartan quarterback, and he was forced to fall on the ball back of his own goal line, giving the Bears their final points. Hockey Has Rough Boston Bruins and New York Americans Figure Largely in Performances New York, Dec. 19.—()—An odd mixture of bloody.battles and dull de- fensive play was found in last week's games as the National Hockey League jurned the corner between the first and second quarters of the season. The Boston Bruins and New York Americans figured largely in the per- formances. Twice in three games the Bruins got themselves into free-for-all fights in their strenuous efforts to overtake the New York Rangers in the American division race. Tuesday came the al- ready famous scrap between Art Ross, Bruin manager, and Frank “King” Clancy, as the Bruins hung a 5-1 de- feat on the champion Toronto Maple Leafs.

Craig Wood Wins Pasadena Tourney Blond Professional From Deal, N. J., Wins Second Golf Meet in West Pasadena, Calif. Dec. 19.—()— Craig Wood was 2-up on his fellow professional golfers Monday in the way of California winter tournament | titles and money. Playing the finest game of his ca- reer so far as the annual winter p rade goes, the pro from the Holly- wood Country club, Deal, N. J., an- nexed his second consecutive cham- pionshtp Sunday in winning the Pasa- dena open with its $1,000 prize money. Wood wound up the 72 holes of play with @ score of 278, six under par and four strokes ahead of the field. Brilliant work on the fairways and occasional bursts of fine putting which had been responsible for his winning the San Francisco open a week ago, put him at the top. The big blond won the first Pasadena crown five years ago. Moving along at a par-plundering Pace came two of Chicago's best in second place—Harry Cooper, cham- pion a year ago, and Eddie Loos, who turned in totals of 282, two blows below par figures, for $500 cash each. Dick Metz, Wood's assistant at the Hollywood club, came home in fourth position with a par-equaling 284 for $350 of the stake. Wood had three rounds of 69 and one 18 at 71, which is standard for the Brookside course, Tied for fifth place were National P. G.

Combining crushing power on the ground with a smooth-functioning attack through the aerial lanes, Cali- fornia’s Bears overwhelmed Georgia Tech’s Engineers 27-6 Saturday to top off an unimpressive regular sea- son with a brilliant intersectional victory. \ Some 7,000 hardy fans, the smallest postseason turnout since the stadi- um was built, saw a game but out- classed eleven from’ old Dixie go down to a one-sided defeat. Holding their own for the first half, the southern boys were swamp- ed under a third and fourth-period attack that saw the Bears push over three touchdowns. Each reached scoring turf in the first half, California crossing for a touchdown. shortly after the game opened and Tech coming through with a late rally in the sceond pe- riod to put the game on practically even terms. California completed its’ try for point, however, to hold a one- tally lead at halftime. The Bears came out for the third period with a rush that netted a touchdown soon after the kickoff. A 55-yard march consisting of plun: at the line ended when Schal went over for the Bears’ second touchdown of the game. “5 In the same quarter, the Bears took possession of the ball on Tech’s 34-yard line and drove from that 6 | point for another score, Williams go- COLLEGES ing over. ae open Normal 39; Moorhead ‘ 32.

After’ @ 15-minute Louis Monday—the fist Hope-ths ‘Odyssey’ was to continue on Florida Eleven Crushes Uclas Southern Sophomores End Med= focre Season in Unexpect- ed Blaze of Glory Gainesville, Fla., Dec. 19—()— Out of the debris of a disastrous sea- son, Florida's sophomore eleven arose Saturday to crown its campaign with a surprising 12-2 intersectional vic- ' tory over the University of California at Los Angeles. Battered into submission in six of their eight previous starts this sea- son, Florida’s husky players found themselves in their final contest and outsmarted the favored Bruins from the outset before 8,000 fans. The Alligators scored in the second period following a blocked punt, after a 50-yard advance had been halted just short of the goal, and tallied their second touchdown in the last quarter on a long pass from Mc- Anly to Schirmer. California’s safety came in the third period after Coats, substitute center, had blocked Henderson's kick and the little Florida back had been tackled behind the goal line. Just before the second quarter end- ed Shearer, Florida end, burst through to block Decker’s kick and Stark recovered- on the 3-yard line. Henderson bombed through the line for @ touchdown. Hughes’ placekick for the extra point was blocked. California made two short marches at the beginning of the third quar- ter and then kicked to Florida on its 13. Henderson dropped back to kick and Coats, substitute center, rushed through to smash the punt. The ball rolled back over the goal line and Henderson was snagged for a safety. As the fourth quarter started Cali- fornia turned to long aerial heaves, one of which was intercepted by Da- vis and ran back to near the center of the field, McAnly passed 25 yards to Schirmer who caught the ball high in the air, shook off tacklers and raced for the touchdown. Again the extra point was missed on an at- tempted pass. Stevens ( Quits as Yale’s Grid Coach Expect Former Eli Star Will Be Named to Succeed Doc- tor Next Fall New Haven, Conn., Dec. 19.—(?)— Well-informed followers of Yale athletics were almost unanimous Monday in the belief Yale would ap- point one of her own former grid- iron warriors to the post as head ee coach vacated by Dr. Marvin Reginald D. Root, freshman coach and former Eli tackle, was most prominently discussed in unofficial circles as the next head coach. ~ Root has been a member of the coaching staff under Stevens for the last two years.
