Sport storms may move along with the political and economic breezes in 1932 to make the year one of the most entertaining since the wan The storm of Olympic competi- tion, from the snows of Lake Pla- | cid in February to the balmy cli- mate of Los Angeles in mid-sum- mer, will whip the competitive side of athletics to a high pitch of excitement. Despite conditions that have hit the sporting treasuries all over the world, every indication points to leading nations being fully repre- serted in the Olympic program. They will not send squads as big as they could muster when the quadrennial meet was nearer home but the outstanding stars, from Paavo Nurmi to Jules Ladoumegue, | from Mikio Oda to Helmut Koer- ing, will be there to give Am-| erican hosts all they care to handle in the mammoth Olympic stadium. The warning signs were hung out in 1931, so far as track and field is concerned. No nation is likely to take world honors away from the United States in the 1932 Olympic team competitions, but, France, Finland, Germany, England and Japan, as well as several of the | Latin-American countries, have de- veloped individual specialists capa- ble of beating anyone. The Tenth Olympiad, by all odds should be the biggest athletic show | ever put on, in a setting that has had no parallel in the sporting] history of this or any other coun- try. Football Shake-Up Looms | The upheaval in American college’ ranks, conspicuous as it has been ever since the famous Carnegie Re- port Bulletin 23, is likely to be ac- celerated as a result of conditions surrounding the close of the 1931 football season. | The specifie signs of it already are apparent. New York university, | one of the institutions subjected to | criticism by, the Carnegie investiga- reform of its athletic structure. The University of Wisconsin and University of Towa are experienc- ing shake-ups again. On the Paci- fic coast, developments of long- standing have been brought to- Southern leaders have agitated for reforms and new standards in ath- letics; fqr the control of subsidiz- ing and recruiting. The sharp decline in football gate receipts, aggregating a 25 per cent falling off now for the past two years, has forced colleges to face situations that they were able to pass off in the boom days. ‘When the profits were flowing in, graduate managers had a pot-| ent weapon with which to silence opposition. Now that they have lost a good part of it, the job of overhauling the biggest business in college athletics is rapidly getting under way. Dempsey Boxing’s Tonic The prospective come-back of Jack Dempsey is the biggest single ifactor on the fistic horizon for 1932 without the slightest argu- ment. If the old mauler comes back to the point of a return match with Jack Sharkey, a bout with Primo Carnera or a title match with Max Schmeling—the most likely of the' three possibilities — pugilism well may celebrate the first million dol- lar gate since 1927. The customers will pay to see Dempsey, just as they pay to see Notre Dame and class in any field i of sport. Most of the sharp declines' in gate receipts have been due as imuch to poor promotion and fewer first class atiractions as to hard times. - NOTICE TO WATER CONSUMERS In order to conserve the water supply during the present dry weather, all water will be shut off from the upper sections of town and on the tide flats between tors, has forced the resignation of John F.

NEIL | (Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Jan. 5—The sha- dow of Jack Dempsey, greatest fig- ure in boxing's golden days, fell across the fight picture again as the year 1931 slipped into histery. For the game at large Dempsey is the symbol of prosperity, the chief hope for 1932 that should surpass in every respect 1931 and its small purses, scarcity of at- rtractions, and public apathy.
