O. (Fritz) Cris- aler, athletic director at the Uni- versity of Minnesota, Ralph Irvine Sasse, head football coach at West Point. They are in complete agreement as to Question No. 1—“What are the three most popular sports, tak- ing playing activity as well as fan interest into consideration?”— each named football, baseball and golf. Football tops the list, in the opinion of both. They have had ¥much to do personally with this popularity. As to Question No. 2—“What sports involve the most skill, strength or stamina, strategy and luck?”—they are in 50 per ceni agreement. They concur in the belief that football requires the most strategy and that golf involves the most luck. Crisler, going into detail, IR ycpecifies a 30 per cent chunk of| strategy for the gridiron sport, 25 per cent factor of luck on the links. The cther (5> per cent In goif be- longs in the skill column, Crisler believes, but Sasse thinks there is a bigger percentage of skill in tennis than in any other sport. Wrestling is the major's nomin- ation for the sport calling for the most strength or stamina. Crisler Mominates rowing and specifies 50 per cent in his ratings. Sport Hair-Raisers What were the three most excit- ing or thrilling events they ever witnessed. I haven't Crisler's views on this, but Sasse covers a period of a dozen years in naming the following: 1. The Army and Navy football game (21-21 tie) played at Chicago “In 1926. 2. Man o War winning the Preakness at Pimlico in 1920. 3. The Navy crew winning at Poughkeepsie in 1931 Dempsey Fit From Chief Scout George Mec- Conville comes the latest ppm on =2 JUST WHEN THE.

TEXAS GIRL, MAT ARTIST Challenges Iy Woman of Her Weight to Wrest- ling Match AMARILLO, Tex., Feb. 3.—Miss Esther Kirkpatrick, because she likes “novelty and sportsmanship,” challenges anywoman of her weight to a wrestling match.

The athletic council from a treasury filled mainly from pro- ceeds from last season’s football games has loaned the school board $9,000 to pay salaries of the school teachers until last year’s taxes have been collected. The school's team, the Abilene ‘Bagles, won the Texas high school championship, and when the books were balanced at the end of 1931, ;a $19,000 balance was on hand. In the spring the funds will be used to start construction of a new stadium. just closed, when many workers complained they could not make expenses in the fields, he saved more than $100. In three and one-half days Hus- tead pulled 7,500 pounds of cotton, jand he averages 150 to 250 pounds an hour. et AVERETTE BACK IN SCHOOL RALEIGH, N.

HOLDOUTS CRY AGAINST ANY SALARY CUT Ruth HeadsMajor Leaguers Declining First 1932 Offers (Continued from Page One) have little to talk about with his new Cardinal owners except “come- back” and “Hornsby wouldn't let me take my outs” when he gets down to ‘the serious business of trying to get the world's’ cham- pions to boost substantially an of- fer of $7,500 for the season. ‘Wilson batted only .260 last year and drove out but 13 home runs as estaplished a National league rec- establishe da National league rec- ord for home runs with 56 and broke the record for runs batted in. Bill Terry, first baseman of the New York Giants, has indignantly declined to take a 40 per cent cut in his $22,000 & year salary of 1931, despite the fact that he fell down from 401 to .348 in batting for the two seasons. However, Terry may point out to the Glant manage- ment that the “dead” ball slowed up hitters throughout the circuit last year, and his average was only a slight fraction below ' that of Chick Hafey, league batting cham- pion. Mel Oftt,. Giant outfielder, who nfeused his first contract, expected a small cut on the basis of a poor season, but not as great as the club had mapped out for him. Fred Fitzsimmons, roly-poly hurler, dis- satisfied with his first offer, had a good 1931 season, ranking well up in earned runs allowed. Herman Sees Drift Brooklyn's Babe Herman fell off so in 1931 that he jumped before he was hit. The Babe announced, prior to receiving a contract, that he would not sign any agreement that called for less than $19,000, his last salary. Herman's batting fell from 393 in 1930 to .313 last year, In general it appears that the present winter holdout army will be augmented by numerous fallen stars caught in the determination of the club owners to slash majon league 1932 payrolls by some $500,000. | Among other likely prospects for the salary “knife’ 'are Paul Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Dazzy Vance, Johnny Frederick, Wright of the Brooklyn Dodgers; Ted Lyons of the Chicago White Sox; Frank Hogan, Hughie Critz, ,and Freddy Lindstrom of the Giants; Pat Malone, Charlie Root .and Gabby Hartnett of the Chi- |cago Cubs. ———— BASKETBALL FOR MASSES BIRMINGHAM:;, Ala, Feb. 3.~ Birmingham 1lkes its basketball.
