An official is out there trying just as hard as the players to make the game a success,” Louttit says. One of his hardest games, Louttit recalls, was the University of Idaho- Southern California game at Los Angeles in 1924. “The temperature was 94 degrees in the shade. There was little wind in the stadium. T was in good condi- tion, but lost 11 pounds referee- ing the contest.” — e — WOLF HUNTS ARE POPULAR GUTHRIE, Okla., Oct: 29.—Wolf hunting, with frequently as many as 30 men following the hounds, has! become one of the most popular sports here. e EPPERSON IN FROM BERNERS BAY REGION | F.

Kelly Blake’s SPECIAL DE- LIVERY—Phone 442, adv. 477—1429 | 208— 550 | veteran Pacific coast; By BILL KING i (As-ociated Press Sports Writer) | f Since Mickey Cochrane, manager |of the world champion Detroit Tig- |ers, became famous, Boston Univer- | | 4slcy has dug up enough heroic rw.s wand data eoncerning his college ca-! raeer to fill a thick volume. But the | two football incidents that stand out above all the rest happened in games with Brown and Holy Cross. | ‘When Cochrane’s team played at Providence, he saved it from a hu-| miliating shut-out with a 53-yard’ drop-kick from a difficult angle. He;‘ was injured early in a game with Holy Cross. | Holy Cross scored quickly a few moments before Cochrane was knocked cold and taken out. Eight minutes before the game ended he | “came to,” and when he learned the score stood Holy Cross 7, Boston! | University 0, he insisted on goinz i 5| | back into action. | | ‘Boston University dewned a punt ! on its 20-yard line as Cochrane limped back into the game. He in- | sisted on carrying the ball. His first | try moved B. U. to midfield, then he ! |added 20 yards more on two plunges |and finally raced around left end |for a touchdown. Then Tied Score | The furious Holy Cross players | ripped the B. U. line to shreds when Cochrane dropped back, but he | kicked the extra point. Final score: |Holy Cross 7; Boston 7. Cochrane played basketball and hockey, and boxed as a 155-pounder |before he attracted any attention as a college baseball player. During the summer vacations, he iplaycd semi-pro ball at Lake Sara- |nac, N. Y., he was an infielder the | first two seasons, but the third sea- |son, when the team lost its bagk- | stop, he agreed to try his hand at catching. | Used Assumed Name uring the season of 1923, the Dover Del,, club in the Eastern Shore league lured him away from Sara- |nac. He accepted with the canny | proviso that he would become a free |agent at the end of the season. He T-1a | Was eager to return to Boston Uni- | versity in the fall, and in order to |retain his amateur standing, he | played under the name of King. While known as King, Cochrane | attracted the attention of Tom Tur- )ner, a scout from the Portland, | Ore,, club in the Pacific Codst leagua. Cleveland, Detroit and several other big league teams learned of Tur- {ner’s interest in the youth and their |scouts looked him over and were impressed. ‘While Cochrane was dickering with | Turner, he was approached by the |Cleveland and Detroit scouts. He turned them down. he told them, “I'll be sitting on the bench all year. I will not get any | experience and I will have no chance to better myself. By signing witn Portland T11 get a chance to play as a regular and learn a lot about the game and my own ability. “If I turn out to be a bust, no harm will be done. If I make good on the coast, T will get a chance to get up to the big league and, as a tested minor-leaguer, receive much more consideration than any col- lege prospect would ever get.” He Learned From Daley | When Cochrane reported to Port- land, he found Tommy Daley, now a | big-league coach, holding down the first string catcher’s job. Daley taught Cochrane everything he knew and the season was not very far ad- vanced before Cochrane was in there every day. He hit .339 in 99 games and attracted nation-wide attention. Conpie Mack, whose Athletics had a tie-up with the Portland club, ob- tained him for $50,000 cash and five I players, worth about $30,000 more. ;Cochxane was then 21, i When the American league sea- json opened, Cochrane stood out as the major-league find of that year. But he refused to consider himself a big leaguer until the team got to Boston. | Mickey Fulfills Ambition Let Jimmy Foxx describe Coch- rane's arrival at the Brunswick. “The team arrived in time for [breakfast and we were halfway | through the meal when we missed | Cochrane. We thought we had lost | him somewere, for he naver missed a | meal before. But when we quit the dining room and headed for the | chairs on the hotel steps, there was | Cochrane sitting in the biggest on2, smoking a big cigar and muttering ‘T told 'em, I told ‘em,’ as he stared across the street at a red building “If T accept a big league offer,”|— DAILY SPORTS CARTOON- OL 1N THE EYE - DO YOUL GIT THAT ? ik THE MAN IN HE IRON MASK ALTHOUGH HE HAS become one of the greatest figures of all time in baseball, Manager Mickey Cochrane of the world champion Detroit Tigers firct attracted attention at Bosten University as “Kid” Cochrane, footbil, Hockey and basketball star] Here he is shown in his football and hockory livery at B.

CHINESE COURT STAR ENROLLS AT TULANE| NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29.—Guy Cheng, the Chinese Davis Cup play- er, has enrolled as a freshman at Tulane University.

A mat is very badly needed for the use of the wrestling contingent, and | more boxing gloves would be appre- | ciated by the novices in the manly art of self defense. e, China has three great river sys- ‘tems—che Yangtse in the heart of the country, the Yellow =xiver in ’drams the mountains of the south. 1335, King Featares Syndicate, Inc., Great Britain rights reserved., | MpNS 8/ BIG SPORTING EVENT LOOMING FOR PAC. COAST California LJ(S Forward| to Dual Meet with In- vading Britons BERKELEY, Cal, Oct. 2).—While | negotiations have been “purely in- formal,” more than a slight possi- bility exists that the University of California will play host to the Oxford-Cambridge joint track team after the Englishmen compete with Harvard-Yale and Princeton-Cor- nell in 1937, says Graduate Mana- ger William Monohan of Califor- nia, Plans Are unceriain ‘480 far,” Monohan aeclares, “we have carried cn mo correspondence regarding the idster, but a friend of mine who is an Oxford man is re- turning from England sometime this fall-and will have some sort of in- formation for me. ' 'He is doing considerable globe- trotting and his exact arrival back here is uncertain. However, he prom- ised to look into the matter over there. ! “Regarding the securing of an- other Pacific Coast school, we have done nothing. Probably we would in- lvlte University of California at Los university affair and giving track and field fans in both northern and {sduthern California a chance to sce | these Englisn stars. We would hold a meet in each section.” U. C. L. A. Is Surprise ! Monohan's mention of U. C. L. A. 1wu a mild surprise, inasmuch as {irst reports of the event, coming out- of London, said Oxford and Cambridge would team up against | two of California, Stanford and Southern California. The California graduate manager said the information reaching here “probably was a result of these pre- {liminary negotiations” but that everything so far was “but a hazy | plan.” At Stanford, Graduate Manager Alfred R. Masters said he had heard nothing and had been extended no invitations. The English contingent would |come west following its meets on | Eastern American soil against Har- vard-Yale and Cornell-Princeton.

PENN LATE I8 GHE GANE By Pap Angeles, thus making it an all-state | SPORT SLANTS The press photographers had cor- nered Larry Kelley on Franklin Field where the Yale football team was working out the kinks acquired in the train ride from New Haven to Philadelphia. The Blue was to face the University of Pennsylvania the following day and everyone was in- terested in hearing what the great | Mr. Kelley—spelled with two e's—| had to say about the coming battle. “That’s it, get all the pictures you | can of me catching passes because | that isn't likely to happen in the game tomorrow,” he called to the picture men. We couldn’t believe our ears. The erstwhile flamboyant voluble Larry Kelley in the role of a shrinking vio- let! Tt just didn't sound right. So after the practice session we called the great Yale end to account. WEEKLY & MONTHLY ates Corner THIRD s\ SENECA “Yeah, that’s right,” he explained, “the Penn boys will be looking for me to take every pass that our backs toss out there tomorrow and will cover me like a blanket. THat leaves Big Train on the other end com- pletely ignored and a perfect target for our tosser.” Prophet Kelley It sounded reasonable enough but still it was hard to reconcile it with the usual picturesque Kelley state- ment of the past when, on the eve of the Yale-Princeton game last | fall, Kelley tired of listening to the praises of the Tiger backfield aces being sung, countered with, “Well, maybe they won't look so good to- morrow with Larry Kelley playing in their backfield all afternoon.” He proved a rare prophet for he spent most of the next afternoon mussing up plays in the Princeton backfield and then topped it all off by taking a forward pass over for the only and winning touchdown of the game. For the first two periods against Penn it looked as though Kelley had given out the correct dope. What passes were tossed in his direction were scooped up by a waiting Quaker or they dropped harmlessly out of his reach. In the third period Yale had come up within striking distance when Hessberg brought the score up to 18 to 20 with a magnificent 60-yard run through the entire Penn team for a touchdown. A few minutes later Larry Kelley — seemingly pop- ping out of the turf of Franklin Field, took a 28-yard toss for Ewart while ra¢ing in full stride and dashed the remaining 35 yards to the goal- line with the touchdown that put Yale in front for the first time dur- ing the battle. We should have known better than to have been taken in by Kelley's smooth talk. We were convinced that we were most gullible when the same Kelley drifted behind the goal line a bit later and took another ~ |pass from Ewart to bring the score up to 31-20 and put the game out of the Quakers’ reach. Yale had @& pair of fine ends on the field against Penn. The Quak- ers’ efforts to skirt the ends were pitiful. Bob Train did not give an inch on his flank all afternoon and more often than not tossed the ball carrier for a loss. Kelley was not quite as effective on the defense but he outshone his teammate on the offense with his two scoring catches. —_———— CRIMSON TIDE RECORD 600D UNIVERSITY, Ala., Oct. 20.—Up to the 1935 football season, Alabama’s Crimson Tide had played 317 games, won 217 of them, tied 20 and lost 80. Incidentally, the Alabama team has not lost an opening game since 1903, when Vanderbilt triumphed, 30 to 0. — e CARD PARTY There will be a Hallowe'en card party given by the Rebekahs in the 1. O. O.
