BASKETBALL IS YIELDING PROF]T‘ MADISON, Wis,, Jan. 11.—Bas- ketball is no financial “lame duck” where the University of Wiscon- sin is concerned. Popularity of the cage sport, engendered by Coach Walter, Meamwell's uniformly successful teams and his practices of holding open house” for fans at pre-sea- son sessions has kept the game “out of the red” consistently.

Even call his feat of its sort the most .amazing, but m an Olympic year - that saw such torical performances as Amer\cun athletes turned in, in a year that saw some pretty rugged individual fcats, turned in by college foot- ball players, pause a little before ou make ‘greatest American athlete’ tion.” \ i TRACK STARS NAMED 1 Notwithstanding Mr. Cunning~ ham who personally paused too long before acquainting us with his views, it was not unanimous in this year’s poll. In fact Sara- zen’s margin of leadership was much smaller than Pepper Martin’s in the 1931 Poll, clear-cut. Moreover, it wasn't that the boys overlooked our Olympic track stars. Far from it. Tolan, Bausch di and Carr were well up in the first ten and totaled 36 votes altogether, sport. Sarazen, with 53 votes, was the only golfer in the first ten and Vines, with 36, the only tennis player. Baseball, with three in the ifirst ten, totalled 62 votes. WHAT IS A SPORT? p in general do not require an elab- ., orate defense. Poll, forth the views of the country’s _ ing performers, performances and developments of the year. If there wasn't room for argu- ment, there would be no necessity of conducting these annual cross- examinations of opinion. If there were no differences of opinion, the | sports pages would be dull read- : ing, indeed. ) It happens, however, that in the ! U. 8. A. sport has developed an enthusiasm for skillful perform- ance, for super-talent in any sphere { of competition, whether the well | known “bgdy contact” element is involved or not. No golf match I have ever seen or expect to see will compare to the blood-stirring thrill of, say Dempsey-Firpo fight in 1923, or the Army-Navy football game of 1926. At the same time golfing exploits of the degree achieved | by players like Bob Jones and | !qene Sarazen belong to the top | ‘rlxght of any athletic accomplish- ment. The prime requisite nowadays is not based upon brute force. There are many, indeed, who do not consider wrestling or weight-lift- ing a sport, though both flourish and have their place. Who is there who can competently weigh the. factors involved in sport, com- bative and noncombative, with an answer as to which carries the highest measure of skill, courage and stamnia? —_—————————— ATTENTION, ELKS!
