Illinois had a good sophomore end in Fred Frink, but Gil Berry, All- Big Ten back last year, was handi- capped by a lame back and a bad leg. In minor circles, Bob Wheaton, De Pauw, was a halfback sensation. (Copyright 1931, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) FINNS TO SKATE IN U.

FOSTER. EW YORK, November 26— Lewis Fonseca has a two-year | managerial contract with the N Chicago Americans and also a player contract for the season of 1932. The latter agreement does not affect the status of the two-year contract,| | the _existence of which has nothing to | do with his right to appear on the {field as an active player. Base ball rules regarding contracts with managers are not generally well understood. Any club may make & contract with a man to act as manager, | | but that agreement does not permit | {him to become an active player, un- | less it is followed by a player’s con- | tract, which must be filed with the| | president of the league. | | hé fact that Fonseca has signed a | two-year contract shows two things. | First, that the Chicago management | has made up its mind that changing its | manager each season will not_produce | | results. Second, that Fonseca has con- | fidence in his own judgment and thinks | he can work out the problem of get- | ting Chicago up in the race, and pos- i sibly in the first division, if he is | given more than a year to attempt it. The American League- realizes fully the vyital necessity of improving its position in the West and the Chicago | club is anxious to establish itself as the Western leader, believing that a strong team in Chicago will tend to bring back the old sectional fight which was so keen in the organization prior to | the dismemberment of the 1919 Chi- cago “Black Sox” team. - “I have not wmged any plans” | Fonseca states. “In general way I | know what I would Jife.to bring about for the good of | tain that the team can play a5 spiritedly and as well in the season 1932 as it did in the city serles | gainst the Cubs. If the American | | League season had been starting after | |that serles the White Sox would not | have finished last in the race. Of that I am sure.” St. Louis has not only signed Allan Sothoron as coach for the team in 1932, but it has signed him to a three. vear contract as coach. His agree- ment reads 1932, 1933, 1934. 'This is | unusual, as a coach seldom gets a con- j tract for more than one year. It may | mean that the team of Bill Killefer {and Sothoron will act together for | three years in succession, and it may {alse mean that if Killefer steps cut Sothoron will be the next manager of | tho Browns FRENCH TEAM GETS COIN Money Advanced That Olympic| Squad May Start Training. PARIS, November 26 (#).—To en- | able the National Sports Committee to | start work training the French Olympic | | team, the undersecretary for physical | education has paid over to the com- mittee an_advance of 300.000 francs | (about $11,700) on the appropriation | | voted by Parliament. | Recently the Finance Committec e Chamber of Deputies cut the Olympic_appropriation from $1,220,000 to $600,000. | BASS TO TfiY CO};lil;ACK.

GILLTAM who have gone after upland game. The | dogs work half-heartedly and the heavy clothes which are necessary for going into the rough underbrush are not con- ve to comfort in hunting. Duck-hunters have much the same tale to tell. The weather has been muggy and thick over the waterways of Virginia and Maryland, with practically no wind, and the ducks, great rafts of them, have been sitting out of range of the blinds and enjoying themselves, while the huntsmen have been sitting in their blinds waiting in vain for the ducks to come in. More than 100,000 ducks are reported | un the Susquehanna flats at the head | of Chesapeake Bay, by E. Lee LeCompte, | but very few are falling to the guns of | the sportsmen. | “They just sit out there and gossip,” LeCompte says. “You can’t shoot them when they're sitting down, and they 3;\(.1}1 get up, so what're your going to 0?” | Le Compte believes that cooler ]wealhor will scatter the ducks consid- trah:y and bring the huntsmen better sport.

E. McBRIDE. ) TFullback — Krelzinger, Nebraska (Big Six). ANSAS CITY, Mo., November K 26.—In these selections | preference is given seniors | as far as possible. SOp)‘.O-‘ more stars are numerous in the Missouri Valley, but comparative merits being fairly equal, men who | have devoted three full years of worthy competition get the call. Also greater consideration is given men who have played consistent- ly throughout the season, with freedom from injury and scho- lastic difficulties. Nebraska leads in places with four. Cronkite, Kansas State, and Schiele, Missour], win the wing places. Each is a 6-footer, Cronkite 5 inches more than 6 feet, with consequent ability to reach far up and out for forward passes. No secondary defense man has been able effectually to cover Cronkite. He takes passes With ease, right out of the Schiele also is a great forward pass recciver. displaying amazing ability to catch from any angle. ASS recelving, however, is not their only strong point. Each is a| hard-tackling defensive end, diffi- | cult to get around and fast down the | field under kicks. Cronkite is an ex- cellent punter and place-kicker. Twice | against West Virginia, in the rain, he | made placement kicks, one of 40 yards, | one 46, and in_the Nebraska game his place-kick of 30 yards was the only score his team made. | Cronkite is named captain of the mythical eleven. He is an excellent student, & thorough observer of foot oall rules, a fine leader, a sportsman. In my | estimation Cronkite is the Valley's sec- | ond bid for all-Ameriean honors,” There | is no eleven he couldn’t make. Rhea, Nebraska, and Rost, Kansas, tackles, third-year men, their play show- ing all the wisdom and experience that | come to a good player/in his final year, | are 6-fcoters, Rhea weighing 220 pounds, | Rost 205. Each has every qualification of o good tackle, both on charge and | defense. Rhea likes to range the iron and bob up in plays directed toward bulwarks other than his own. He would be the third choice of all-Valley mate- rial for all-American OSTER, Nebraska, and Oates, Okla- homa A. & M., are chosen for guards. 'Koster in a 190-pounder, playing his third year, a great man at | open holes, fast swinging into a block, slipping through the opposing line fre- quently to bring down & runner before | he reaches the line of scrimmage. About the same goes for the 184-pound Oates, an alert backer of the line of defense, quick in interrupting a passing attack. In the 7-6 victory over Tulsa it was the interception of two forward passes by Oates that played a material part in the Oklahcma A. & M. victory. For center is chosen Lawrence Ely, Nebraska, 185-pounder, & star in his sophomore year, far greater in this sec- ond season of varsity play. He is a consistent performer, and for a center that means good passing and blocking, hard tackling and ability to diagnose the opposing offensive. Roger Bowen, 161-pound junior of| Towa State, gets the quarterback posi- | tion, Bowen must be mighty good to rate ahead of field generals like Ra: McMillin, Kansas State; George Stube Missouri, and Carne Smith, Kansas. OWA STATE, in unespected and bril- liant victories over Missouri, Okla- homa and Kansas Stat®, had to have inspirational leadership. ~Bowen supplied it. Smarter than the run of | quarterbacks, Bowen was the decoy for | most of the Iowa State trick and fancy | plays, and his excellence in_blocking, | rating a place as the best blocker on his team, stood him in excellent stead in | the decoy game. Bowen played safety | on defense and was the best tackler on | his eleven, a good catcher of punts and | a good returner, although not particu- larly fast. He was acting captain in most games. For one halfback is chosen Elden Auker, Kansas State, finest all-around player in the Missouri Valley, as this correspondent saw them. and so the Val- ley’s best bid for all-America. Auker is 6 feet 2 inches, weighs 190, is 21 vears old and a senior. Forrest C. Allen, | basket ball coach at Kansas, names Auker_ the greatest guard in the Big Six. He is a base ball pitcher, and in foot ball combines the Wwisdom of ex- perience in all sports. Auker is a triple-threat man, a_star in each threat. Exceedingly fast for & big man, he runs with a high-knee ac- tion that doesn't do opposing tacklers any . He can sidestep and use a stiff arm with skill. Auker is an excel- lent student. He is the best-rounded player I have seen in the Valley coun- try over a long span of years. REFE, Towa State, the other half, is a constant threat to the opposing ends, a remarkable returner of | punts, fast and shifty. The Iowa Sagte | offense was constructed around him and with the idea of shaking him loose. Kreizinger, Nebraska, :s selected for | fullback. He is a senior who had noth- ing particularly to commend him in hi freshman year, and so is all the more deserving of the gridiron glory that has been his. His junior year proved his brains and determination, and in his final year Kreizinger has been one of the finest all-around becks ever de- veloped at Nebraska. He can run the ends and smash the line and is an alert athlete in the secondary. It was Kreizinger who found a hole in the Missouri line and dashed through for 55 yards, making possible a touchdown a few minutes later. In these selections it should be un- derstocd that stars like Graham, Kan- Austin, Missouri; Schaake, Kansas: Bauer, Nebraska, out of the line-up In important games, either through Injuries or grades, have been sidetracked in favor of players perhaps not so brilliant in some cases, but more fortunate in being able to give their services to their teams all the way.

McCALLUM. | 6« HE most important stroke in I golf is the stroke that puis the ball into the cup. It may come from any distance or any position, in or out of a hazard, ! but the stroke which wins is that which | finds the bottom of the cup.” The speaker was Dave Thompson, the little Scot from Montrose, who has sold golf 50 thoroughly to members of the | Washington Golf and Country Club that Davie has one of the two or three best professional jobs about the Capital. Davie knows how important is that stroke which puts the ball into the bot- tom of the tin because he has the con- venient and convincing habit of knock- ing them in from all angles and posi- tions, on or off the putting green, day in and day out, in a fashion which has convinced him that the most xflportant single stroke in the game of golf is that | which_finishes the hole. And Davie himself is a great hole finisher. Chips From the Mapleways BY FRANC! OT a great deal has been heard of Jack Whalen, United States singles and sweepstakes cham- pion, this season, but take it | from Tad Howard, if any one bowler Saturday, it is the tall pinman of the | Rendezvol and Farnan's Bowling Shoo teams. Tad, who was in the bowling game when most of the present day stars were playing around in rompers, doesn’t often venture an opinion on any event and 1n a ’stakes dotted with stars he's taking a chance, but the rotund Ren- dezvous proprietor is sure he's not making a mistake in figuring Whalen in the money. e« TACK,” asserts Tad, “is a—what do you call it—inspired bowler. Last , with those 1,000 bucks star- ing him in the face, he came out of nowhere to win the National Sweep- stakes. And how about his 435 set in the N. D. B. C. singles? “Jack's been sick mcst of the sea- son but he's okay now. I watched him the other night and he looked good rolling a 377 set.” Last night he g0t 371. “Mind you, the fellow that wins has got to beat Jack Whalen.” AD is one of the very few who have ventured to select their favorite in the big-money event Saturday. Most bowling observers, as is natural say the fellow with the “hot hand” will win. Whalen, however, rates serious con- sideration’ despite his few outstanding feats of the present season. Jack is one of those bowlers who can work him- | self to a peak apd then leave the rest | cf the field flat. To win the National Sweepstakes last year he changed his delivery three times, and this versa- tility may be the factor that may carry him to victory Saturday. Three five- game sets on three different sets of illeys—Arcadia, Lucky Strike and Con- vention Hall—are what the boys are up against. SCAR OEHLER, who helps Chick Heltman manage the bowling in- dustry out Petworth way, has been watching* Partner Chick keep him in the background all season with his 118 average in the District League. Now Oscar has it on Chick. Oscar isn't the best bowler in the world, but yesterday he rolled a perfect flat game to put his name down with those of Ollie Webb and Tip O'Neill as the local bowlers to accomplish the feat of shoot- ing 100 without a strike or a spare. 'HIS will be a real Thanksgiving day for the members of the Petworth and Columbia teams of the Men's District League if they don't encounter any of the District League gals today. For the girls have the laugh on them in a large way. Almost every day The Star's “pin honor roll” shows the District League boys banging out the night's high team IS E. STAN set. Last night they not only failed to win the place but rolled the very inelegant total of 1,603. And the John Blick girls, in sweeping over Myer Davis, rolled 1,613 at the King Pin. T was turkey night yesterday in the Knights of Columbus League and Larry Fitzgerald evidently needed a Thanksgiving fowl. A turkey was to be given to the bowler shooting the high game and high set. Larry’s 140 was the highest string and his 386 was the highest set. But they didn't give him both tur- keys. His 140 rated one, but because PFredd® Moore rolled the next highest set, 376, and was faced with the pros- pect of eating hot dogs, it was decided to let Freddy have the second fowl. Had they been hams instead of tur- keys, the Caseys might have allowed Fitzgerald to keep both of the prizes. 'OR those who arén’t too frozen after watching today’s gridiron offerings, or too flat after posting $2 on the noses of the Bowie ponies, or too stuffed after the annual attack on the turkey. there is ice cream, candy, turkeys and silver dollars awalting the boys and | rates to be called a favorite in !hel | Dixie Sweepstakes, which will be held sets today.

Roeser .. Rosenberg Konnick . S Tommy Armour describes it, Dave Thompson has learned the art of finishing. He romps around his | Washington course anywhere from 70 |to 74 any time he starts and in that score—whatever it is—there are always at least three putts of a dozen feet or more. Davie is the same Scot who visited his native land last February with a full kit of golf clubs and so suc- | cumbed to the wiles and blandishments | of his friends back home that he gave away all his American-made clubs and came home without a single golf club. | “They may hit them a mile from | the tee and they may play their irons like masters, but if they cannot finish the hole they cannot score,” says Davie. “Take our long fourth hole here at ‘Washington, for example. We have a lot of golfers in this cluyb who are capable of reaching the area around the green in two shots, and yet we seldom hear of a birdie 4 on this hole unless it has been obtained by a | lengthy putt. Or take any of the long par 4s. The man who is not long | from the tee can get close to the green |in two shots, not necessarily on the putting surface. If he is a good hole finisher he will be more than apt to get his 4. If he can't stroke the ball | into the hole he will get a 5. We| have a lot of holes here at Washington | of drive and pitch length. teM\N these holes the long hitter should have the edge—that is, he is able to drive within pitch- ing distance of the green. And yet many matches are lost by these long hitters to men who are better with the short clubs, because the shorter | men are more accurate within the area of 30 yards away from the pin. Long hitting alone will not get any one any where on this golf course. The man who scores must be able to punch that ball into the cup in the minimum num- ber of strokes. If he doesn’t the gent who is short and who can putt is go- ing to give him a severe headache.” Dave Thompson has been striving for three years to beat the course rec- ord of 66 set back in 1928 by Maurice J. McCarthy, then a junior at George- town University. Several times he has come to the last three or four holes with a reasonable chance to tie that 66, but each time a lost stroke has crept into the score. He has had numerous 67s, but has not yet been able to reach 66. Some day he will if he continues to putt as well as he has been doing recently. Tuesday Davie was around the Washington course in 72 strokes, which is good enough golf for any man. FINES RACE NEWS BUREAU Baltimore Judge Punishes Concern for Aiding Handbooks.

BY WILBUR WOOD. EW YORK, November 26.— Victorio Campolo, who is to box Primo Carnera in Madison Square Garden | Friday night for the dreadnaught championship (or should it be deadnaught?), might have been on the steps leading to the heavy- | weight throne by this time had he not been so woefully mismanaged after his arrival in this country | more than twe vears ago. Had Tex Rickard lived, it is likely | campolo would have been very close to | the top by now. Instead he will be | fighting for his very pugilistic life when he meets Carnera. Rickard would have | seen to it that such a rare prospect as | Campolo was not cestroyed by bad handling. It was not until Campolo was turned over to the astute Luis Gutierrez that the Argentine gaucho received any in- | telligent consideration. Luis may suc- ceed in salvaging Campolo. If he does, e will have accomplished a major managerial feat. Given Poor Start. When Campolo came to this country, | with only meager experience in his na- | tive land, he was tossed right in with one experienced heavyweight after an- other. The big fellow never had a chance to catch his breath, to find out at it was all about. After winning his first fight here, when Arthur ge Kum fouled him, Cam- polo was put into the ring with Tom Heeney, a tough, well seasoned bird. This was a very hard fight. After being several times on the verge of | passing out of tke picture, Campolo | managed to flatten Heeney in the ninth |round. His next match was with Fhil Scctt, whose superior experience en- abled him to win a close decision over the Argentinian. The big fellow then engaged in two extremely vicious en= counters with Johnny Risko. Imagine that as a Queensberry diet for a novice! Why, they even had him matched with Jack Sharkey, and only the fact that the public refused to fail | fer the fight prevented this ill-advised | match from going through. Had to Meet Tough Ones. Campolo has not fared a great deal better under the management of Gu- tisrrez. However, that hardly can he charged against Luis. Things had come to such a pass when Gutierrez took command that Luis was forced to drop him into matches in which the best Campolo could expect was the worst of it. Either that or nothing. Maybe Friday night's engagement with Carnera will be the turning point for the better in the career of the sad- eyed gaucho. One cannot help hoping $hat he finally will get a break in the N | | luck. He always has taken the i of it without complaining. He deserves a little luck. If he once gets startex on the right track, Gutlerrez probably will keep him there. BALL; NO SCHooL Playing Students Leave az Loyola of Chicago Abandcns Game.
