SPORTS. WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1928 SPORTS. 19 THE EVENING STAR, Sharkey Unlikely to F UZCUDUN APPEARS AS STRIBLING'S FOE Controversy Between Jack’s Handlers and Rickard Has Become Acute. BY HERBERT BARKER. Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, December 22—A duel to the death between Tex Rickard and Jack Sharkey's board of strategy may be some more fistic “hooey,” but at least 1t serves to enliven an otherwise sopo- rific heavyweight industry. As the situation stand now, it appears as though Young Stribling will battle Paulino Uzcundun, the Basque wood- chopper, and not Sharkey, at Miami Beach, Fla., early next year. Time was when Sharkey was referred to as the “Loquacious Lithuanian” by facetious sports writers with a flair for allitera- tive effects, but at least the Boston sail- or never talked himself out of a fight that would add $100,000 or so to the family bankroll. And that's just what his manager or managers, as the case may be, seem to have done. The controversy between Rickard and Sharkey’s handlers started when local newspapers received telegrams purport~ ing to come from Sharkey and charg- ing among other things that Rickard was managing Stribling, Paulino and Jack Dempsey. Further, the telegram said that Sharkey. fearing he would not éfl a “break,” would refuse to fight tribling in the Georgian's own sector of the country. ‘Thus the kettle came to a boil. Jimmy Johnston, one-time 10 per cent manager of Sharkey, shut off the heat when he admitted that he had sent the telegrams and signed Sharkey’s name to them. Apparently the incident was closed, with every one happy but the news- paper men who “fell” for the dodge. Then Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's manager, entered the arena with a new set of charges which he leveled against Tex from Boston in a telephone conver- sation to newspaper men here. Buckley charged Rickard had at- tempted to buy Sharkey’s contract for $60,000 last Summer; that he saw Rick- ard give Walter Friedman the money to purchase an interest in Knute Han- sen, the melancholy Dane, and wound up by saying the promoter was luring Sharkey into the South for the match against Stribling so that the Boston sailor would be “knocked off.” Buckley said he had turned down Rickard’s offer of $75,000 for the fight and demanded $150.000. moter unless newspaper men are pres- ent—at least, so he said. After denying all these accusations, ‘Tex added that he was “through fool- ing with Sharkey” and that Buckley's fear of losing the decision to Stribling was tacit admission that he did not think the sailer could conquer the husky Georgian. He added that, in view of all that had happened, he prob- ably would match Paulino against Stribling and let Sharkey out in the cold. All of which he may or may not do. TORNADO GRID TEAM NOW CROSSING TEXAS By the Associated Press. DEL RIO, Tex., December 22.— Georgia Tech’s Golden Tornado, Dixie's hope to dispel the gridiron domination of the Pacific Coast, treveled cross the broad sun-baked expanse of Southwest ‘Texas today en route West to meet the University of California in the Rose Bowl on New Year day. ‘The all-victorious Souhtern Con- ference eleven was due in El Paso at R p.m. today after a 24-hour Journey across the Lon Star State. Reports that Bob Durant and Stumpy ‘Thomason, two of the giants of the tech backfield, were fighting threatened attacks of influenza were partially con- firmed when the train made a brief Btop at Houston last night. Newspaper- men aboard the Sunset Limited said that both were under the squad physicians’ care. . At each station where the train #topped today, members of the squad dimbered up their muscles on the plat- form. These short jogs, skull sessions and strict adherence to regular hours of sleep and to prescribed food, were the only training measures planned before the scheduled arrival of the team in Los Angeles Sunday afternoon. Coach Bill Alexander has discounted the idea that the transcontinental Journey would hamper his_charges. Coach Alexander also said at Houston that contrary to general opinion and despite two broken ribs, which were gractured in a recent. game, Frank Bpeer, 1928 all-American tackle, might see action in the Rose Bowl classic.

Whatever the entire total amounts, Another sign that the human entourage has discovered the value of recreation—especially outdoors—whether it be at Winter sport in Canada, Lake Placid or Dartmouth—or under the sun. Rising Young Coaches. Speaking of rising young coaches, how about Don Miller, fleetest of the Four Horsemen, now assistant to Bill Alexander at Georgia Tech? He'is_credited with much of the development of L\&pk&n, Mizzell, Thomason and Durant, the four ‘great backs who carried Miller has been in charge of the Georgia Tech backfield for three years and the Tornado has had three fine seasons. Down in Georgia they think he is one of the best coaches in the business and it's only a matter of time until some big school will grab him off. All of the Four Horsemen had been successful as coaches. Harry Stuhldreher Elmer Layden is building up at Duquesne and “Sleepy” Crowley is coaching the backs at Georgia. coach foot ball as well as they played it. While Notre Dame did not have much of a season, Notre Dame men did “Gus” Dorais led an undefeated eleven at the University of Detroit and Charlie Bachman took Florida through unbeaten to its final game of the season. So Notre Dame can find some satisfaction in the ‘Winter Golf. UST how many tourists go in for Winter golf and just how much money {hey spend would make an interesting build-up for some agile statistician. nter golfing range now extends from Bermuda, out in the Atlantic, with its fine midocean links, and others, to Catalina in the Pacific or even on to Honolulu, where they held a recent and successful tournament of many stars, the Winter golfing expanse can be somewhat better appreciated.

OF CI.IJ‘B) CENTRAL SEEKING ROAD WIN TONIGHT Beaten by Hagerstown, Meets York Quintet—East- ern Downs Gonzaga. ENTRAL High basketers, who last night bowed to Hagers- town High in a 27-to-16 match in the Maryland city, tonight will engage York High at York, Pa. In last night's game Hagerstown held the lead all the way, but did not gain a substantial edge until the second half. The home quint was in the van by four points at the quarter and three at the half, but held an eight-point margin at the end of the third session. Capt. Fisher, Romig and Parkins starred for Central, with Hammaker, Segal and Hart doing the best work for Hagerstown. Play was slowed by 28 fouls. Despite that it bowed to its old rival, Eastern, 18 to 31, last night, the Gon- 2aga basketers, making their debut, looked impresstve, and with several de- pendables, who were missing from the line-up, probably will make trouble for many teams before the season is out. The Purple played without a group of foot ball stars who are not yet ready for basket ball. The game was staged as part of the alumni reunion at East- ern. Capt. Ted Capelll, Eastern captain, led his team'’s attack, scoring 14 points on six fleld goals and two foul shots. Gonzaga, battling gamely, tied the score in the fourth period, but, led by Capelli, the Lincoln Parkers again got busy on attack and drew away, not to | be headed again. St. John's basketers squeezed out a 24-23 triumph over Benjamin Franklin University tossers last night in the former's gym. Accurate foul shooting gave the Saints their edge. The half ended in a 10-10 tie. The game marked the first of a series of Friday night games in the St. John’s gym and next Friday the alumni combination will be met by the Johnnies. Augusterfer, forward, topped the «| victors' attack last night, registering 8 points, including a pair of goals from scrimmage and four from the foul line. Former crack Central basketers and swimmers will appear on alumni teams that will meet the regular Blue and White combinations in contests that will feature .the Alumni day program next Wednesday at the Columbia Heights school.

It is a pity that there are not more officials like him, as the players, once they find that they are up against strict offici- ating, will stop making needless fouls. For instance, T had three men go out on four personals in the game with Catholic University in which Eberts worked. In the Maryland game, two nights later, which he also refereed, the most fouls called on any one of my men were two.” Eberts will work in a number of Maryland’s future games and also is in great demand by other colleges.

'MALONEY-O’KELLY GO HOT 10-ROUND DRAW, AT By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 22.—Some- times an Irishman can’t be licked. Jimmy Maloney of Boston and Con O'Kelly battled through 10 night to a draw. Maloney, who started his comeback campaign by beating Johnny Risko a short time ago, set out to finsh the bat- tle in short order and kept pounding at O'Kelly through the first five rounds to lead by a good margin. ‘The youngster kept right on through the storm, however, and staged a strong comeback in the last half of the fight. O'Kelly’s steady pecking with his left hand tired Maloney and toward the end the Boston boy quit trying to box and slugged away in a vain attempt for a last-minute knockout. Maloney was warned several times when his heavy body blows landed low. Tuffy Griffiths of Sioux City, Iowa, started on the road to a comeback after his recent knockout by Jimmy Brad- dock by defeating Charley Berlanger, Winnipeg, Manitoba, light heavy, in the semi-final. Griffiths gave a display of the kind of fighting that won him his nickname, b;)liing in all the time to’ carry the de- ciston. By the Associated Press. AUGUSTA, Ga—W.

His idea advanced is that for a con- test ending in a tie score the team mak- Ing the most first downs be declared the winner. Warner, however, expects to meet plenty of opposition from other well known coaches, including Knute Rockne of Notre Dame. Both Eastern and Western tutors are coming here, it is said, with numerous ideas for the game's future welfare. Southern Conference members are expected to oppose Warner's tie sug- gestion and another of returning goal posts to the goal line from the present 10 yards back. Returning the posts to the goal line would make for more field goals and tend to avoid so many tie games. EMEilSON TAKES OPENER.

There are many ways of getting results. Few putt alike, Methods that some condemn gain fine results for others. Miss Joyce Wethered, wh game as a woman ranks with nat of Cecil Leitch and our own Glenna Collett, has given much time and thought to this golf shot. On the greens, she claims that women are the equal of men. One of the conclusions she has arrived at in regard to putting is the way contact is made between club and ball. Although some golf- ers putt with the blade striking the ball near its toe and others off the heel of the club, ske asks them, “Why not stroke the ball off its center?” Miss Wethered does just that. The tendency off the toe is to give drag to putt, while off the heel the club may smother it. The preferable plan for the average golfer is to stroke the ball off thelenter of the putt- er's blade, Less chance for the to turn, !the last few minutes of play, CHICAGO, December 22.—Purdue has joined the ranks of Big Ten basket ball teams which have been upset in preliminary contests.

Other Big Ten teams which have been defeated in their practice games are Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio State and Indian: Indiana, co-champion of the Big Ten cage race last season with Purdue, flashed impressively last night, however, defeating Notre Dame, 20 to 17, at South Bend. - Notre Dame began with a rush, piling up 6 points before the Hoosiers could get started, but when they did find the basket, they were unstoppable. Towa kept its slate clean and gave additional impressions as a title con- tender by romping over Marquette, 38 to 15, at Moline, Ill. Only one game is on the Big Ten :;':d tonight, Drake invading ul;:‘:- game mhm‘ LISTED BY VIRGINIANSE BY SOL METZGER. A type of basket ball attack that has been going strong since the day when Ralph Jones put it on the map | at Purdue with much success is the combination long-and-short pass at- | tack. It now has its adherents all over the country. Down South they have developed it into a play that gets quick results. The scheme there is for either the two forwards or two of the three men battling on defense nearest the basket to break from their guards toward their opponents’ basket the moment they see the third man, usually a guard, is going to get the rebound. These two men are No. 2 and 3 in the diagram. They see No. 1 getting the rebound and they get the jump on their opponents and tear down either side of the | court, As No. 1 alights from taking und | CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., December 22 (#).—Six Southern Conference foot ball games are included in the schedule of the University of Virginia for 1929, announced by D.
