D., March 10.—So popular has college boxing become at the University of North Dakota that the sport may be raised to a major level next year, according to C. A. West, Girector of athletics. The University boxing team com- pleted its most successful season ‘Thursday night in a match with the amateur champions of Winnipeg. Two members of the squad, heavy- weight Ben Blanchette and middle- weight Kenny Brown, have reached the pinnacle in their respective di- visions, Both battlers won diamond belt championships; later won state titiles; and then conquered all oppo- sition in the Northwest Golden Gloves tournament. Three other members of the team won North Dakota state golden gloves titles. Bill Morrow, lightheavy- weight; Joe Miltenberger, welter- welght; and Ray Crummy, light- ‘weight, came through in the state tournament. Two other Sioux, Ed Dehne, featherweight, and Orvie Nel- eon, lightweight, were runners-up for the state title. ‘The University team is coached by Howard H. Russell, a former middle- ‘weight champion of the University of Minnesota.

Both semi-final winners staged drives in the third period to score their victories. The Straus quintet had lagged at the intermission, 16 to 14, while the Blue Devils were on the short end of a 20-12 score at the half against Minot. ‘The Straus quintet pulled away in the third period to hold a 29-18 advan- tage, and the Blue Devils came back with an attack which shot it out in front by a scant two points as the two teams launched the final 10 minute Hunter; Owned Number of Retriever Dogs Fargo, March 10.—(?)—Funeral serv- ices for Russie LeRoy have not been definitely arranged but it is thought they will be held Monday at Fargo with burial here. Russell Miladore Backer was born at Motley, Minn., March 3], 1902, the third son of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Backer. The family moved to Fargo in 1904. In grade school Russie Friends Saddened By Death of Boxer is the comment of one of the cleanest young men ever to appear in shows in the Twin Cities and Northwest. He was a great lad.” “It’s a great shock to me,” said Jack Hurley, Fargo, former man- ager, when he was told of the death of LeRoy, former Fargo fighter. “Russie was one of -my first fighters,” Hurley said, “he was a good fighter and a good boy. It’s @ tough blow. It doesn’t seem s0 long ago that we were going around the country together.” Hurley himself was very ill, con- valescing from an operation for ulcers, * Billy Petrolle had no comment on the death of the Fargo battler.

A few days ago in Tulsa a sports i writer asked me to name the most dangerous hitter on the Washington team, I told him Joe Cronin. But I can't make a comparison of Cronin with the hitters I respect most in the National League. I've pitched against him in only two games. Each of these fellows I’m about to name has come to bat against me scores of times and always caused me! Plenty of worry. Spud Davis Dangerous First I'd put “Spud” Davis of the Phillies last year, and now with the Cardinals. “Spud” weighs more than 200 and when he connects it's often for extra bases and his average is well over .300. 's hard to out-guess and that's my “system,” if you call it a system. I try to make each pitch something unexpected, but somehow “Spud” an- ticipates a fair number of my offer-{ ings. “Kiki” Cuyler of the Cubs is sec- ond on my list. For that matter, he’s probably on the “most danget ous” list of every pitcher in the Ni tional. He has caused plenty of pitc! ers to take the long trail to the club- heuse. Next, I'd pick Freddie Lindstrom. Freddie was a teammate until last year and he must have learned some- thing about the way I act on the mound. At any rate, I'm always douby ly cautious when he's at the platter. Waner, Martin Tough Paul Waner is left handed, but that Old belief that a left-handed batter finds a southpaw hard to hit is all wrong s0 far as he’s concerned. He hits me oftener than any other player in the National League, although not as hard as Davis or Cuyler. “Pepper” Martin of the Cards, is We know, by the crack of the bat, that we've guessed wrong again.

J., held a one stroke lead over the field Saturday as the nation’s touring professionals faced the second round of play in the Metropolitan open golf tournament. Metz shot a 67, three under par, Friday. However, his play netted him only a meagre lead, as veteran Johnny Golden of Noroton, Conn., returned a 68. Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. Y., professional who has been one of the stars of the winter season, was five strokes back of Metz, with a 72. Wil- lie MacFarlane, Tuckahoe, N. Y. pro, also had a 72. Another 18-round will be played Saturday, with the final 36 holes ar- ranged for Sunday. Says Chance for Davis Cup Better This Year Philadelphia, March 10.—()—R. Norris Will:cms, captain of the 1934 United States Davis Cup team, says the American tennis players will have two advantages this year which they lacked in the past—playing on grass and being the “underdog.” ‘Williams, who has been captain five times in the past, said last year he be- lieved the American players were not. aggressive enough. Now he expresses. optimism. If victorious in this country, the cup team will be under the complete another Oklahoma boy who is bad news for me.

The Kingfish of Chicago, picked for {a build-up campaign by the Garden after efforts to line up Max Baer failed, dropped a decision to Blonde Waiter Neusel of Germany in ten rounds Friday night and talk of matching him with Big Primo died down to a virtual whisper. The King had lost plenty of pres- tige in his last previous start here al- though he won a disputed decision over Charley Massera of Pittsburgh. He lost plenty more Friday night when he put Neusel on the floor in the second round and then not only failed to keep him there but let the German carry off a split verdict with a strong finish. One of the largest boxing crowds here in many months, 10,000 paid about $21,000 to see the exciting bat- tling. Levinsky weighed 2034 pounds; Neusel 196: Chicago University Fencing Team Wins Chicago, March 10.—()—The Uni- versity of Chicago Saturday had re- tained one Big Ten minor sports title and acquired another. ‘The Maroons won their 14th gym- nastics title in the past 17 years, while the fencing team displaced Illinois as champion in the title meets held Friday night. ‘Chicago scored 1,065.2 in the gymnastics competition, to 1,039 for Minnesota, which also finished runnerup last year, LONG HOCKEY CAREER For 23 years, Lester Patrick, gray- thatched manager of the New York Rangers National Hockey League teams, has been a major league hac- key manager.
