THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, JAN. 26, 1929 T S ————— A L p——— BRINGING UP FATHER HERE COMES THAT HAME DEGLAR | DAW LAST WEEK- WOULD YOU'SE HELP A POOR MAN: DIR? 00, By ALAN J. GOULD (Aseociated Préss Sports Editor) M Sports is far from being a modern invention. They played tag and tossed rocks in the neolithic ages but the big concentration and the high-powered stuff is of more recent origin. Nineteen twenty-three, for an example that is fresh in memory, had a thrill in every stage of its competitive whirl as it touched off the biggest boom that sports have ‘ever had. Five years may not mean so much when you're talking about the careers of Ty Cobb or Cy Young, Walter Hagen or Harry Vardon, but the last five have been the most significant in athletic history. The passing show of 1923 featured the flashing episodes of Dempsey and Firpo, Zev and Papyrus, Tilden and Johnston, Wills and Mallery, Ruth and McGraw. It quickened the pace, started pro- fessional values shooting sky-high and overthrew a flock of. old- fashioned stalwarts and ideas: Many, if not most of the sensational developments of sport, the changing times and the new order of things may be traced directly back to the impetus of 1923. Tex Rickard put boxing on a spectacular big business in 1921 when he staged the Dempsey-Carpentier “battle of the century™ at Jersey City, but 1923 was a bigger year for the ring, brought to a smashing climax by the “battle of the ages” between Dempsey and Firpo at the Polo Grounds. Nineteen twenty-three was the year that saw Bobby Jones scale national championship golf heights for the first time, after many a disappointment, and launch a triumphant march that is now without parallel in the royal and ancient domain, When_ _Jones. . then_Just. heconfing. of ‘voting ‘age, leat Bobby Cruickshank in the playoff for the Natiomal Open -at Imwood; the Georgian shook the jinx that had beset his youthful trail and began the par-beating parade that has carried him to victories here and abroad. % The same year witnessed the ascendancy of Helen Wills, just out of pigtails, to the national tennis peak, ending at the same time the long reign of Molla Bjurstedt Mallory. “Little Miss Poker Face” they christened the California girl who accomplished the seeming impossible at the age of 17 and started a career that has.carried her to world’s championship héights. Look over a few of the other bright pages of that signiticant campaign of 1923. On one there’s the story of Bill Johnston’s first Davis®Cup defeat at the hands of Kangaroo Jim Anderson of Australia. On another Zev's triumph over Papyrus, the English Derby winner, in the $100, 000 turf classic at Belmont. A third reveals the Yankees, not yet super-team, but world’s champions for, the first time,, at any rate, after their third straight clash with the Giants.

Furthermore Yale ruled the football roost in the East and Cali- fornia’s Golden Bears won their fourth straight Pacific Coast Confer- ence title in one of the greatest unbeaten marches of gridiron history. ‘What a parade! And what a difference five short years have made, but, like the song, the memory lingers on. ¢ TOM HEENEY TRAINS FOR COMEBACK ; MAY GET PAOLINO MATCH| NBW YORK, Jan. 26.—Tom Hee-l ney, the “hard rock’” Gene Tunney blasted in his last heavyweight title defense, has heard the call of the ring again.

SCOREGIRLS AREDEFEATED Interesting Doubleheader of Basketball Played | Last * Night ‘ In one of the fastest and best played basketball games witnessed this season on Gastineau Channel, Coach Waid's Hilltoppers scored over the Douglas High team last night in the Douglas Nat to the fina re of 10 to 8. Though the game was the main event, the girls' teams of' the two High school girls’ teams of the two schools, played a preliminary match that furnished many thrills| and the resulting score of 35 to 18 for Douglas evened the honor: for the double-header. Both events were fast and kept Referee Osborn hustling, though both matches were marked by ex- ceptionally few fouls. Girls' Game The first scoring, play of the girls’ game was by Carlson, who| converted on a ‘fout by Rogers, then in quick succession madc three field goals that started things off with a bang. “E. Jenson came into the playing with a field for Juneau after which Carlson again sunk a . two-poimter and shortly after Ada Minzgohr shot a field, the second score for Juneau and the last of the first quarter which ended 9 to 4 for Douglas.

Ada Minzgohr scored for Juneau. R Frazer scored, then missed on # foul by Mead.. Frazer made an over head one point shot and the halt ended 20 to 6, for Douglas. In the last halt Frazer made the first goal, Jenson the second, Minz- gohr the third, ~Frazer made a tield shot and then failed on a'foul| by Minzgohr. Carlson scored, fol- lowed by Jenson doing the same and ending the third. On a foul by Mead, Frazer miss-| ed one and made the second lree! shot. Jenson scored a basket followed by another, after whichi Frazer sunk a two-pointer. After time out to put in subs, Frazer shot a two-pointer, then a one- pointer from an overhead shot and followed the two scoring plays by sinking the last basket of the game and ending it when the score was 35 to 18 for Douglas.
