Mean- while lets’ hear from Bill. “I suspect most everyone will pick baseball, but I think you will find that every boy in the north plays hockey when he can get a chance. Certainly more and more have hockey sticks than football togs, tennis racquets or golf clubs. As yachts, for it will be prettty far down on the list, although over two thousand small boats manned by at least three people sailed races in New England last summer. “No one has even compared one sport with another, so consider my ‘Relativity in Sport.’ “All sports can involve these four attributes: Strength, skill, strategy and luck. “Take football, which may be said ot combine 20% strength, 30% skill, 45% strategy and 5% luck. “Yachting may be said to have 5% strength, 50% skill, 20% strat- egy and 25% luck. “Tennis: 20% strength (stam- ina), 30% skill, 45% strategy and 5% luck.” Good Big Man 1t does not necessarily follow in basketball, Phog Allen remarks, that the good big man is better than the good little man, but out at the University of North Dakota they have converted a giant foot- ball tackle into a first class basket- ball player. His name is Ted Meinhqver. He stands six feet seven inches and weighs 240 pounds. He must be a trifle shy, however, for we read in the Grand Forks Herald: “Lots of people thought Ted was too big and heavy to make a bas- ketball player; but, although he can’t move as quickly as some of the sihaller performers, he is bound to be effective when he learns the best manner to use his great ad- vantage in size. He is not slow either. Ted can shoot, and he is | getting over being nervous on the | floor. When he reaches a point of confidence the big fellow is going to make things very annoying for the opposition.” 94 Yard A Whack T'ts trifle late, but still worth noting, as Roy Hendrickson re- marks, that Sylvan Saumer was considerable of a halfback inthree years for St. Olaf’s college, North- field, Minn. He carried the ball 343 times in three years' play, gaining 3,027 yards—an average of 9.4 yards per try. This total yardage is well over 30 times the length of the gridiron. Saumer, a six-footer, who weighs about 180 in moleskins, passes and star runner. Last year he also called signals, which cut down the number of times he carried the ball. Freshmen may play in the Min- nesota conference, in which Sau- mer has been an all-conference backfield selection for three years, {so he has another season ahead |of him. He was captain in 1931 and has been reelected. ——ee Operated automatically by a float,” a pump has been invented to remove water from flooded residence cellars. \ PETROLLE WINS BY HARD SMASH New York — Fighters Nearly Exhausted TO RAN'S JA Terrific Battle Put Up in nceded 1ast night's game to cinch DOUGLAS BOYS TRIUMPH OVER | JUNEAU,33T031!
