WINOVERN.Y.0, | Rally by Georgetown on Goa|$ Line Aided by Efforts of | “Rah-Rah” Boys. | :(M e the ot T uite | # healthy rah, rah out of a college | crowd occasionally calls for the deter- | mination, ingenuity and dramatic in- | stinct that go into the making of clever | AY all your children grow up to be cheer leaders!™ Yeah, regard lightly the g | “Is cheer leading a sport?” asks a | correspondent. “In a way, it is,” replies Ernie L. Du- haime, who shares with Tommy McDev- | itt the head cheer leaders’ role at Georgetown University. Tommy and Ernie, pals and roomies, have a na- tional rep as a cheer-making duo. “The cheer leader has an effect on the team that cannot be denied,” con- tinued Duhaime, “and there are times when it is vital. Any athlete will tell you that he is moved cne way or an- | other by what comes from the stands. ‘You know—loyalty of the gang and all | that. If the cheer leader permits the crowd to quit, as it often tends to when the team is going badly, he’s cither a quitter himself or doesn’'t krow his stuff.” Job Not Easy One. The cheer leader fights a battle all his own. Sometimes his is the hard- est-working brain on the premises, siz- zling with an effort to win the interest of a defeated crowd and bring it back to life and into the battle with its team. ‘When New York University swept the Blue and Gray back to a stride from the goal line early in the memorable foot ball game of last Fall hardly a chirp came from the Georgetown dele- gation at the Polo Grounds. It was fairly stunned by the crushing might of the Violet. It was a critical moment for the cheer leader. ‘The “Hold 'em, Georgetown!” stuff was flat as near beer. The Blue and Gray needed a jolt of inspiration. Duhaime rushed over to the George- town band. It was playing a commmon- place march. “Cut that stuff!” yelled the cheer Jerker. “Let's have ‘The Blue and Gray,’ quick!” It was an idea that clicked. The Georgetown team was fighting, as all Georgetown elevens do, but there was a perceptible stiffening of the line and more electrical alertness in the whole line-up when the strains of old George- town's stirring anthem floated down to the struggling warriors. How Provin- cial grabbed a New York fumble in that crisis and raced for a touchdown which won the game is a glorious bit of Georgetown athletic history. “That old song at that particular mo- ment was like a message from home,” said a Hilltop player afterward. This instance is cited as an example of the cheer leader’s sometimes im- portant part in a battle. Harder Than It Looks. “If the cheer leader has a place in the game, it reasons out that cheer leading is & sport, wouldn’t you sey?” Jeughed Duhaime today. The funniest sight on a college cam- pus is the try-out for cheer leaders. Each candidate must go through the yells and stunts he used at prep scrool ~with no crowd present. “He looks silly and feels that way,” says Duhaime, “and I suppose & passer- by not hep to the thing would re & fellow to be plain cuckoo. “The first game gives the new cheer leader a queer sensation—the crowd— the excitement—new yells—new mo- tions. He is self-conscious, of course, and the first time he hears himself call- ing through a megaphone he sount like & stranger to himself. “As the season progresses the crowd dies away before your eyes and all you can think of is the game and your ¢wn excitement.” The toughest sport for a cheer leader is base ball. It s characteristic of diamond fans that they enjoy rocting individually. DUHAIME - MILLER GIVES J. C. C. EDGE IN RING MEET Last-minute arrival of Jocko Miller, who scored over Leo Coveleskie in the 142-pound division, enabled Jewish Community Center to squeeze out a victory over Knights of Columbus bat- tlers, 3 matches to 2, in a boxing en- gagement last night in the Center gym. It was the second time within a month that the Center team has defeated the Caseys bv this margin. Despite that he had ridden a’' train all day from Boston, Miller showed no il effects of the journey, taking the measure of Coveleskie handily. In an upset, Mike Tardugno of the Center team bowed to Nevin Barber in the 125-pound division. It was Tar- dugno’s first defeat in a District ring. Summaries: 112-pound—Mickey Harris (K.

They head for Cambridge, Ohio, 50 miles from here, after spending the night in Wheeling. Ed Cardner, Seattle, Negro, continued to set the pace in elapsed time.

Y., instead of to one of the higher altitudes of California. Nor do close obsefvers expect any ex- tended controversy over the division cf competition between the East and Far West, in spite of the challenge of Cali- fornia to the decision of the interna- tional Olympic authorities. Here are the simple facts of the situation: 1. The 1932 Olympics as a whole were awarded to the City of Los An- geles specifically; not to California as asme or the United States as a Na- on, 2. Los Angeles cannot itself furnish a site for the Winter sports, nor has it the authority to dispose of them else- where; therefore, the decision automa- tically reverted to the international Olympic committee. 3. This committee, pursuing its func- tions at Lausanne, scanned some half dozen or more bids from various parts of the United States and one part of Canada, making the award to Lake Placid as an established Winter sports | playground in preference to such other | bidders as Duluth, Minneapolis, Denver, | Montreal and two California places— Lake, Tahoe and Yosemite, 4. There is no appeal from this de- cision of the international committee, which was dealing with a matter over | which it has exclusive control. —e Alex Gaston, catcher with the Red ?OX. caught in 136 games at St. Paul TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN'S, 7th & F STEP down on Betholine and you step out fast, ahead of the crowd.

THOLIN THE WONDER MOTOR FUEL [ “FENCE,” CUB BATSMEN’S ALIBI, IS TORN DOWN CHICAGO, April 12 (#).—Batsmen will have one less alibi for weak hitting at Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, this year. For many seasons batters have com- plained about an old iron picket fence in center field, and the players said their movements interfered with their bat- ting.

By the Assoclated Press. TH!' lt}:lry against overemphasis may E be heard where intercol- legiate athletics are discussed, but seems to have become a trifie feeble, even where foot ball is involved. Aproj of the situation, Glenn University of Pos Frank, president of the Wisconsin, says: “As America is at the moment, I cannot share the feeling of opposition to the hippodrome sort of athletic ac- tivitles. They contribute color and pageantry at a time when we have all too little color and pageantry. And I have been unable to feel any en- thusiasm for the innumerable attempts to reform foot ball, for instance, so that more students might participate. If you quadrupled the number of students playing foot ball, you would still be affecting directly but a minority of the students. Sports of the hippo- drome sort should be kept sportsman- like and ethical, so that participation in them will help rather than hurt the persons who Eln_vA But the real problem of athletics not the athletics of the hippodrome, but the physical devleop- ment of the majority of the students. “I should like to see American uni- versities largely discard the remnants of the formal gymnasium drill sort of physical education that still clings to many institutions and substitute there- for a sports program for all students. Few of us carry the gymnasium drill sort of thing over into after-college life. We are far more likely to remain a de- votee of a sport we learned in college.” |CALIFORNIA WILL DEFEND | TITLE AT POUGHKEEPSIE BERKELEY, Calif, April 12 (#)— California’s intercollegiate and world champion crew will defend its intercol- legiate rowing title in the regatta at Poughkeepsie, N.

This is important, becxuse many ‘so-called “matched clubs” are only roughly balanced on a straight edge or by trying their “feel” in the hands. The only set that STAYS MATCHED Ordinary irons invariably dent and mick. Dents are removed by filing, but this cuts away metal,and destroys balance. Irons made of soft steel also bend at the neck, which changes their loft. Kroydon Irons of hardened steel are dent-proof and do not bend.
