THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1933 YOUNGSTER BOXERS BXHIBITED UNUSUAL Spectators’ Interest Held From Start to Finish Through 23 Rounds PARENTS OF BOYS PRESENT Boys Placed Greater Importance! on Boxing Skill Than on | Punishment TRIBUNE DECISIONS Thomas Gussner, puttyweight, and Arthur Gussner, pennyweight, drew in two-round curtain-raiser. John McDonald, 101 pounds, won from Leonard Kositzky 105. Will Mohler, 140, shaded Albert Campagna, 135. Carl Kruger, 120, won from Charles Varney, 111. Bill McDona!d, i14, and George Garske, 114, drew. Lowell Elofson, 125, won from Benny Couch, 123. Beb Evarts, 137, amd Matt Weis- gerber, 140, drew. Elfred Elofson, 137, won from Arnold Schultz, 145. Four hundred Bismarck fans, in-| eluding parents of the participating yoys, Wednesday evening expressed pleasure following the Forty and Eight’s junior boxing card at the World War Memorial building. From the two-round curtain: yetween the Gussner brothers until the last blow was landed in the at- tractive headliner, the youngster boxers held the undivided attention of the spectators through 23 rounds | of entertaining milling | Spectators left the auditorium with | one important impression, that, the | toys had placed greater importance | en boxing skill than on mutilation of | «heir opponents. Boys Learning Rapidly From the start it was apparent that John C. Spare and Fred Battcher, the | boys’ tutors in the For nd Eight’s novel ring class for boys between the ages of 12 and 18 years, had made a wood start in educating the boys to! cong generalship and preliminary box- | ing skill. | All were able to protect themselves from undue punishment and without «xception kept their heads up no mat- | ter how tough the going became. If any of the principal's stood out in effectiveness against their mates, trey were 101-pound John McDonald end the two Elofson brothers, Lowell end Elfred. All three “handled their dukes” like | <soned veterans and scored impres- | c ‘ictories over their opponents on. po:nts. McDonald and Lowell Elofson | had easier times in thier bouts than! did Elfred Elofson. Elfred had an! opponent who was just about his! match, Arnold Schultz, and this made | the headliner the most exciting bout on the card. This was the only bout | in which blood was drawn, Schultz's; nose bleeding in the third round. | Care Against Injury | Extreme precautions were taken/ against injury to any of the boys. Large mitts were used throughout to) vad the fists sufficently and each of ; the four judges had the right to stop | she bout without explanation at any | vime h: might wish. The judges, however, failed to exercise this right since in no case did they think a boy unduly hurt. | The demeanor of the boys in the; ving—their condition, determination | , and even their comical facial expres- sions—were pleasing to the spectators, especially the parents, who were in- vited to the program free by the} Forty and Eight to see what the box- ong program is doing for their sons. Wednesday night's show was the aiser | | | i | first in a series of similar entertain- | ' | aments planned this winter, in which} boys from the Forty and Eight junior class will be principals.

Forward John Boelter and Center Art “Stretch” Hulbert counted from the field thrice each, with Boelter adding two free throws. The guards also contributed to the offensive, Tommy Lee count- ing two free throws and Bob Murphy sinking a field goal and a free toss. The Saints ran up a 2-3 lead in the first half and coasted through the remaining two quarters.

Dec. 14.—They’re going to like Elmer Layden at Notre ‘Dame. He's a great guy. Not that the fellow isn't very well} ‘known around the campus of the; |Irish institution—for as fullback of} that immortal “Four Horsemen” iquartet, Elmer chiseled his name in large letters in the football monu-, {ment there. But they're due to see/ {the inside of this curly-haired Irish- man when he trots his team out for its first practice session next spring. He's as common as the salt of the earth. He never gives you the im-| pression that you're talking to a su-j perior being. And the climax of his coaching career hasn’t gone to his} head—rather, it has floored him. | He's been a good mixer in the six| {years he’s been at Duquesne Univer- ,sity here. And in that time he has! jdemonstrated that his game of golf! jisn't so hot—except those rifling tee iShots; that he's a stickler for dis- ‘eipline on the field; that his words; on the gridiron are short and clip- ped, and that around the table with ‘and two kiddies, he's an easy fellow to know. H ee Oe i | His 160 pounds were a distinct sur- prise to Knute Rockne at Notre Dame. Elmer developed into prokably \the best fullback the Irish had, con- sidering his weight. Where big Jumpin’ Joe Savoldi, who followed later, bulled his way through a line with his beef, Layden was a knifing jfullback, preferring to slice through (a hole rather than to batter his way with weight. | Probably his most brilliant per- |formance was against Stanford in the Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day, 1925. In that contest he ran 70 yards for a touchdown after intercepting a pass, line 60 yards, and then intercepted another Stanford pass and dashed 85 yards for another touchdown. : | Layden married his sweetheart of school days back at a Davenport, Ia., high school. Mrs. Layden is a beau- (tiful woman, a gracious hostess and Their children are Joan, 6, who has just started to school, and Elmer, Jr., 3. Both children’s faces are freckled and their noses are inclined to be “pug.” Their legs are long and jgangly, just like their daddy's. ; The Laydens’ Pittsburgh home is a duplex in Mt.

It} {contains nothing to remind the visi- | tor that the head of the Layden house ;Was one of Rockne's brightest stars. {All his pictures and mementoes are! lin the home of his parents at Daven- jRort. | * * * The story of Layden’s football sys- tem—it won 48, lost 16 and tied 6 for Duquesne since 1927—is that of any \other Notre Dame man’s system. It {consists in the main of sound funda- jmentals drilled everlastingly into the heads of athletes made willing by psychological handling of them. It stresses strong taczle play, @ bruising but fast-stepping fullback, and an elusive halfback or two. At Duquesne, Layden was successful in developing a fine aerial game. and his kickers were excellent. He al-) ways managed to have someone around who could kick those points after touchdown—remembering, per- haps, how many games his alma mater won from Southern California by the margin of a point after touch- down {veteran Leon The 1933 Duquesne eleven, which 4 won all but that 7-0 game with Pitt, |. —_® Wwitisns 4180 SEGURE ALLEN | 0 STRANGE, INELDER FROM PAGIIC COAST Smead Jolly Ends Up At Holly- wood and Ivy Andrews With Browns ;FOUR BOSOX GO TO BLUES Detroit Trades Stone to Wash- ington for Goslin; Yanks Get Smythe Chicago, Dec. 14.—()}—Major | League club owners drew off by them- ;selves Thursday for their joint meet- ‘ing while the traders gathered around {te get in their last licks before the {ennual powwow broke up. | Foremost on the program of the joint meeting was the discussion of a standard baseball, and it was ex- pected that both leagues would be committed to the use of a similar sphere by the time the meeting ended. ‘The prospect was that the National League magnates would agree to a ball similar to the American League jStandard, or that alterations might be made in both baseballs to make them alike.

Littles, took over the job of \eradicating the fleas from the mangy football hide of Coltimbia University’s Lions. At that time he made a re- mark that now takes its place along- side “Have one on the house,” or “Don’t give up the ship.” Lou’s classic statement was, “I did not come here to fall.” |, Then, to the astonishment of akep- {tical alumni, Mister Little, with the aid of lots of lateral passes, turned out @ rejuvenated beast at Morningside Heights that has gone through three seasons with only three defeats, and {climaxed his career by receiving the unexpected invitation to play Stan- ford in the Rose Bowl classic New Year's Day. xR Lou and the Lion are hailed as a wonder combination in the east. It didn’t take the man long to get start- ed on his new job in 1930. He didn’t demand a year in which to install his system at Columbia. He stepped right. out and, with only 32 men in the {squad, put over an attack that was Probably the most deceptive in the e Littie’s career previous to his Col- umbia appointment was as spectacu- lar as his tenure at the Morningside institution.

Pro football lured him for a while, but Georgetown University called him baclt to collegiate circles, and it was at that school that he made a coach- ing name for himself. In five campaigns his teams won 37, lost 8 and tied 3 games, scoring 1427 points against 172 for opponents, This shows that he devoted as much attention to attack as to defense. To take the job at Columbia, Lou had to turn down an offer to pilot the football ship of his alma mater, Penn. But this wasn’t so hard to do, for he received a three-year contract at $18,000 a year to handle the for- tunes of the Lion. * * | This year he was blessed with good material.

Eveleth Rangers in Hockey League Lead Eveleth, Minn.. Dec. 14.—(4)—The Eveleth Rangers went into first place in the race for the Central Hockey League championship by handing the Minneapolis Millers a 4-0 defeat on the local ice Wednesday night. The game was fast and rough through- out. After a scoreless first period, the! Rangers dented the meshes when Prelesnick took a pass from Brink at the 2:03 minute stage of the second to score. Eveleth scored three times in: the final period as Brink scored from scrimmage at 3:24 and Ahlin checked a Miller drive in the center ige to hang up the third score with 5:06 gone. The final counter came when Toth took a pass from Jagunich. DULUTH HORNETS WIN FROM ST. PAUL SEXTET Duluth, Dec. 14.—(?)—Staging fierce rushes in the opening minuies of the second and third periods, the Du- luth Hornets Wednesday night won their first game of the season in the Central Hockey League, defeating the St. Paul Greyhounds 2-0. Tricker, wing for the aSints, suf- fered a broken leg in the second period when he was slammed against the boards. The Duluth team scored after two minutes play in the second period when La France took a pass from Bergl in front of the cage to put cleus, brilliant Cliff Montgomery, quarterback; Tony Matal, end; Fer- rara, tackle, and Brominski, back. His only problem was to replace Frank Chippendale, fullback, who was ou. with an ailing stomach. So he unearthed a gent by the name of Nevel, and that personage fitted in right well. Having played on the line in col- lege, Lou knew his backs couldn't get anywhere without a line. So he brought in Sam Cordovano, former college star who spends his spare time in adding college color to the mat game. And from Sam the boys in the forward wall have picked up a lot on the fine points of taking care of their men. The only other newcomer to flash for Lou is Al Barabas, a 190-pound sophomore back who is the heaviest backfield ace to play for Little. Lou once asserted that a heavy backfield man was no good on earth if he places in a hurry. That Al is playing regularly behind Colum- bia’s line is a teeny to his worth. Cliff Montgomery is probably the best player Lou has had at Columbia. This diminutive quarterback will in some ways resemble another star Stan- ford has faced this season—“Cotton” Warburton of Southern California. There is no doubt that Tiny Thorn- hill’s boys will have to stop Cliff to stop the Lions. He is a triple-threater who ranks as the best in the east.

He does not havo the speed that a topnotch basketball jplayer should have right now but he jwill have it before the season is very far along. On that point Coach Mac- Milian is emphatic. Counting 21 men {on the squad at present, 12 of them are six feet or more in height and 13 jSeigh more than 170 pounds. In theight they range from five feet, seven inches to six feet, five inches and jtheir weights vary from 137 to 215 {pounds, ; Only one senior, a letterman, is list- ed on the roster and there are seven i juniors, four of whom have won let- | Thirteen of the athletes are |Sophomores. Another interesting fact jabout the group is that seven are re- |cruits from the 1933 football squad. ‘Three of the four varsity tackles are \included in the basketball roster. ; With the physical material avatle jable. at least, MacMillan has been working on one combination for the lopening game although the situation lin regard to a varsity for later games {is a scrambled one. As a starting point for his quintet, MacMillan has Gordon Norman cf Rochester available for center duty. Norman, a junior letterman, has one , year of Big Ten experience and jump- ing ability plus six fect. four inches in height as qualifications for the position. He weighs 188 pounds. Bill Freimuth, standing six feet, five inches tall and weighing 215 pounds, also is determined to see some action on the basketball floor. The Gopher coach has been giving two’ sophomores, George Roscoe and Mal Eiken, a thorough trial at for- wards. Both will receive stiff com- petition from Walter Sochacki, veter- an letterman, and Russell Laxson, |sophomore. Ralph Mitby, 137-pound letterman also is macing his presence his letter last year, and George Svend- sen, 200-pound tackle on the 1933 Gopher football team, are the leading guard candidates at present.
