MONDAY, JA TENNIS GREATS OPEN PRO TOUR IN NEW YORK WEDNESDAY Marble and Budge Top Net Rankings Rating of National Women’s Titlist Above Helen Jacobs Starts Dispute New York, Jan. 4.—(?)—The rank- ing committee of the United States Lawn Tennis association appears to have laid the groundwork for an argument that will endure an entire year in listing Alice Marble above Helen Jacobs in the 1936 women’s rankings and placing Frankie Parker Starting off the professional tennis season before a packed $50,000 house in Madison Square Gi arden Wednesday, these two netters engage in a series of battles billed ‘for the championship of the world.

DEMONS HAND ALUMNI QUINT 26-18 SETBACK FOR 7TH WIN Tavis Garners Top Scoring Honors With 11 Points - McGuiness Collects 8 Running their string of consecu- tive victories to seven, Glenn Hanna's Maroon and White Demons handed ® Bismarck high school alumni quint @ 26-18 setback at the high schow gymnasium Saturday night. Although their play was ragged, the result of a two-week’s layoff, the Demons still had too much “stuff” for the alumni, who gave fine in- dividual performances but lacked teamwork. “Peck” McGuiness, high scorer in Class A circles last year, was the big- gest offensive threat for the alumni with Billy Owens, captain of the Demon club two years ago, a close| ;. second. McGuiness dropped in four field goals and Owens registered ee. in the men’s No. 2 spot behind Don thr Budge. | The rankings, announced Sunday, won't become official until passed by the annual convention here in Feb- ruary. While Parker made a fine showing in the eastern grass court tourna- ments and reached the semi-finals of the national singles, Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, ranked third, did just as well in the nationals and performed bril- Mantly in the famous all-England tournament at Wimbledon. The choice of Miss Marble, who made a remarkable “comeback” last summer after two years’ absence from tournament play, came as @ sur- prise even though the San Francisco girl won the national title. Miss Jacobs, four times national champion, has .been listed as the world’s best woman player by such authorities as Fred Perry and A. Wallis Myers, the British expert. The “first ten” rankings follow: Men: 1—J. Donald Budge, Oakland, Calif.; 2—Frank Parker, Milwaukee; 3—Bryan M. Grant, Jr., Atlanta; 4— Robert L. Riggs, Los Angeles; 5— Gregory 8.

Manéro and Mangrum Deadlocked at Miami Miami, Fla., Jan. 4—(?)—First place in the 13th annual Miami Open golf tournament was at stake for a meet- ing Monday between Tony Manero of Coral Gables, national open cham- pion, and Ray Mangrum of Dayton, fifth money winner of 1936. Top prize of $500 will go to the winner of the 18-hole playoff and the runnerup will collect $400. Manero shot a 68, two under per, in the final round Sunday to tie Mangrum’s 277 for the 72 holes.

FORD FRICK PREDICTS YOUNGER AVERAGE AGE OF BALL TEAMS President of National League Enthusiastic About Pros- pects for 1937 By FORD FRICK (President, the National League) New York, Jan. 4—(7)—Just now I was thumbing over the cards rep- resenting new ‘players added to the rosters of our eight National League clubs. I venture the prediction that our league, in its 62nd season of championship competition, will pre- sent younger average age in its teams’ regular lineups than has been the case for many years, Our 6ist pennant race had plenty of high lights besides the anniver- sary games. We have a great race, with first the Cardinals setting the pace and holding the whiphand week after week, then the Cubs coming along and vying neck and neck with the Birds in early summer, and then the Giants launching their August Tanberg Sets Pace As Dickinson Wins Dickinson, N. D., Jan. 4.—Lawrence Tanberg, Dickinson's veteran center and considered: a strong candidate for an all-state position: this year, paced Coach Denton’s Midgets to a 41-11 triumph over New Salem in a game played last week. Tanberg dropped in 10 field goals for 20 of his team’s points as the Midgets piled up a 23-7 lead at the halftime.

I was glad to see Carl Hubbell top-. ping the earned-run-average table when the official figures were tallied. My chief feeling in looking for- ward to 1937 is enthusiasm, for the National League and baseball as a whole first, of course, because it’s closest to me. But more than that, the evidence of the 1936 baseball season, the fact that the world series attendance and receipts, per game, exceeded that of the best previous year in baseball history, 1926, means to me that not only baseball, but the United States as a whole, is entering into a year of.

By: Williams | Ellsworth Vines Solem Is Chosen soe ee Former Buckeye Mentor Given Informal Release From lowa Contract Syracuse, N. Y., Jan, 4—(P)— Syracuse University looked Monday to 44-year old Ossie Solem, former head coach and 5 " athletic director at the University of Towa, to lead it back to the foot- ball highroad. He, was named head coach and ath letic director at Syracuse to suc- ceed Victor A. Hanson who re- signed after his 1936 Orange ma- chine bogged down in seven straight defeats. Although no official announcement was made it was generally believed Solem had signed for three years at an approximate annual salary of Solem’s selection was announced Sunday by Acting Chancellor William P. Graham who said a special com- mittee named to make a study of candidates had recommended him. Graham paid tribute to Solem as “an outstanding coach and a gentle- man of the highest order” and said he would have a free hand at Syra-| cuse, Solem, whose $8,400 contract with Iowa had one more year to run, re- ceived an informal release from the Towa athletic board which expected to meet Tuesday or Wednesday te seek his successor. Solem, a graduate of the Univer- sity of Minnesota and Northwestern Law school, was head coach at Drake University from 1921 to 1931 and served as athletic director for six years of that period. IOWA SEEKS SECOND COACH IN SIX YEARS Towa City, Iowa, Jan. 4—(?)—For the second time in six years the Uni- versity of Iowa searched Monday for ® football coach, A variance of suggestions from throughout the state came to the athletic board which will meet either ‘Tuesday or Wednesday for preliminary discussion concerning Ossie Solem’s successor, Top flight coaches in all parts of the country and lesser lights just making names in the football world were suggested as possible candidat to succeed Solem, who accepted a three-year contract at Syracuse uni- versity Saturday. Prominently discussed were Howard Jones of Southern California, who gave Iowa Big Ten championships in 1921 and 1922; Frank Thomas, coach of Alabama’s Crimson Tide; Gus Dorais of Detroit university; Charles Bachman of Michigan State; Kelley of DePaul; Marchmont Schwartz of Creighton; and John (Clipper) Smith of Duquesne. If Iowa should decide to take one of its own, a possible selection would be Aubrey Devine, former Hawkeye All-America quarterback under Jones Indiana-lowa, Northwestern- Illinois, Purdue-Wisconsin Tilts Tonight Chicago, Jan. 4.—()}—The Big Ten basketball championship race, which shapes up as a battle royal all the way down its 60-game stretch, opens Monday night with six teams in Jers, who won six straight victories, are certain to put the Hawkeyes to a severe test. Purdue apparently is another one of the fast, sharp-shooting teams which Coach Ward Lambert has con- sistently turned out at Lafayette. Northwestern and Illinois, both rated high on pre-season showings, should put on a thriller at Champaign. Next Saturday night Michigan swings into action against Purdue in ‘a battle which should give fans a tip on how far these clubs will go. In other Saturday ments, Iowa plays Northwestern, In- Tilinois quette Saturday, Notre Dame was downing Chicago, 30-27, defeated Iowa State, 49-16.
