Note—This is the last of jour stories featuring the views of the Na- tion's sports editors and writers on the athletic high spots of 1931. The accompanying story is in response to the Associated Press query: “What was the outstanding sports news story of the year?” BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press 8ports Editor. EW YORK, December 24 (®). —It has been nine months since that last dgy of | March, 1931, when a trans- port passenger plane crashed near“ Bazaar, Kans,, with Knute Rockne | among its victims, but this stun- ning tragedy still is recalled vivid- ly by the Nation's sports experts as the biggest news story of the| year. “This was not only a national page story,” wrote & sports edil it also an event that reached news- | papers in all corners of the globe and | affected millions who had come to know Knute Rockne as one of the most dynamic leaders in American athletics.” Many Pick Rockne Story. In the Associated Press national poll of sports editors and writers on the salient features of the athletic year, 96 out of 131 named the death of Rockne | s the biggest sports news story and the most far-reaching in its effect, of any development of 1931 For those who confined themselves to looking at the competitive side for the | biggest news story of the year, the choice covered a wide field. Seven named the marathon golf triumph of Billie Burke, who went 144 holes to beat George von Elm for the United States open golf championship at Toledo. Four experts each picked the world serfes and Southern California’s foot 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. ANAGER CLARK GRIFFITH has set March 4 for the first squad to report at Charlottes- ville to begin the Washington ball team's training activities. Catchers Henry and Ainsmith will be in the squad along with Pitchers Cashion, Becker, Guy Johnson, Akers, Musser and Ainsworth, Joe Tinker figures that if Evers, Chance and Brown come through the Chicago Cubs will win the Na- tional League pennant in 1912.

Cadets Koster, Mudd and Duckett are class captains. There is doubt as to whether the big annual foot ball game between Georgetown and Virginia will be played next Fall.

NEW YORK, December 24—The vecent excitement over the foot ball sftuation at Columbia University, which | reached a fever pitch a week ago with | the publication of a supposed report | by the Nacoms, a Columbia secret so- clety. which was later branded as a “fabrication.” has been stirred up again. | The World-Telegram. which printed | the original report. published yester- | day the results of an investigation | which the newspaper conducted to find out how much. if eny, truth there might be in the charges that were | tossed back and forth and finally dented. Getting most of its information from the foot ball players themselves after university authorities had refused to co-operate, the paper said it had learned that many foot ball players | recefved scholarships, some of which | apparently were not entirely dependent upon scholastic standing, that the uni- versity athletic assocfation furnished board and lodging for the players dur- ing the foot ball season and that at to 15 rounds. Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's manager, | and Nate Lewis, Chicago Stadium matchmaker, parted amicably, with Lewis assuring every one that he did not blame Jacobs for demanding a for- | T 5. 0Pen foit and Jacobs stating that, if the White | Tllinots bill was passed before he closed Spinel with some other promoter, he still would be willing to take the champion | to Chicago. Whereupon Lewis affirmed trat if it happened that way the $200.- 000 guaranty for the champion would still be in order. HUS the match is on the merry-go- round again. During the last two months it has been in and out of Miami, Los Angeles and Chicago sev- eral times. Twenty-four hours before the break- down Chicago's chances looked so good | that Jacobs turned loose a blast at Madison Square Garden, following the garden’s bombardment of Schmeling. When, as and if negotiations are re- sumed for a Miami Nght, both sides will look rather foolish. When it | seemed the match was lost to the gar- den, Walker was branded by the garden spokesman as a soft opponent. If the | garden should grab the bout Walker no | doubt would again assume menacing proportions. That's the way it is in the sock market. If you have an attrac- tion it is great. but if the other fellow nabs it. then it is strictly no good. Jacobs speaks confidently of Los Angeles and Miami and says there will | be a fight somewhere, if he and Prof McCarney have to promote it them- selves. The trouble with Los Angeles and Miami. from Jacobs' standpoint, 15 that he would not be able to grab a $200,000 guaranty for Schmeling at cither of those sites. NE of the obstacles at Miami is the ancient State law which says that no national or international champlonship bout can be held in Florida. However, they have been held there in the past and probably could be staged again if things were handled properly. Lew Diamond, who came back from Miami a few days 8go, re- ported that visitors and money seemed more plentiful than a year ago. In California the law provides for 10-round bouts to a decision and 12| rounds to no decision. So, if the fight should land in Los Angeles it would have to be a no-decision affair, as| Jacobs will not consider putting the | champion, a slow starter, into a 10- round bout. How a no-decision fight }\(iuld take on the coast remains doubt- ul. It is rather ridiculous, after all the yelling, that a heavyweight champion should fight during the Winter as well as during the Summer, that the first one of them who wants to fight in the Winter time seems unable to find a spot. where he can be matched for the cham- plonship distance of 15 rounds.

For several years they have found it impossible to strengthen their team and are said to have suftered heavy losses. To make their club profitable they would have to go into the market and outbid wealthier competitors for first-class playing material. Owing to present business condi- tions these unsuccessful magnates regard the future as gloomy and do not care to run further risks. They own the ball park and will sell for not less than $600,000. The club is not far from the At- lantic Ocean. Basket Ball Tip BY SOL METZGER.

SOKOL FIVE AFTER DATES Baltimore Basketers Would Book D. C. Unlimited Teams. Catholic Sokols basket ball team of Baltimore is after games with unlimited class teams of this city Manager Joseph Peterka is booking for the Sokols at 501 North Lakewood avenue, Baltimore. Matching his cunning and cleverness ageinst the dynamite of Herman Wei- ner's two-gloved attack, “Reds” Barry, |popular Washington heavyweight, will | be satisfied with nothing short of deci- sive victory when he climbs into the ring at Portner's Arena, Alexandria, Va., Tuesday night. Weiner, a Baltimore boy, meets the | redhead in a scheduled eight-round go, the evening’s top spot. The bouts are being promoted in the interest of char- | ity by the Alexandria Elks. Aware of Weiner’s double-barreled po- tency of offense, Barry nevertheless is hopeful of stealing the play from the dangerous Oriole. By unloosing a stream of punches from the opening bell, Barry believes, much of the power behind Weiner's punches can be counteracted. Though short of a knockout blow, Barry usually gets over some stiff shots during the course of a fight. Enough of them, he figures, certainly will wear Weiner down sufficiently to gain him the nod. “I know Herman can throw some mighty damaging wallops and I'll be watching him every minute,” Barry as- serts. “At the same time I'll be doing some sharpshooting on my own hook, and don't be surprised if I win by a big margin.” Spats Are Tip-Off On Bush’s “Toil” By the Associated Press. HICAGO, December 24 —Take it from Guy Bush, star pitcher for the Cubs, you can't fool the newspaper photographers. Bush bought a gasoline filling sta- tion to keep himself busy during the Winter months and invited the protographers out to see for them- selves just how he had changed from a base ball player to a hard ‘working oil man ‘The photographers came up with & snappy cut line: “Mr. Bush spat-ters the gas.” ‘The pictures displayed Guy wear- m Aancy spats while pouring out t side of the foul line. Left guard (4) is between the foul-circle and the center of the court. Suddenly the forwards (2 and 3) swing out and around toward the basket, of course drawing their guards with them. This clears the middle area of the court. Down into this space at top speed comes left guard (4) headed for the ket. No. 1, first faking a pass to either forward, now shoots the ball to 4, who takes it inside the foul line while running at top speed, dribbles a few strides, and then shoots from under the basket as 2 and 3 drive in from opposite sides for the rebound in case 4 should miss his try. Next—A Nebraska floor play. (Copyright, 1931.) BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, December 24.—Two hard luck ball players—so other players occasionally refer to them—have been transferred | | by the Philadelphia Nationals to class | AA clubs. One is Buzz Arlett, outfielder, for- | merly of Oakland, Calif., and the other | is Sheriff Blake, a_ pitcher, who was | with the Chicago Cubs before he was | sent to Philadelphia. he was on the coast and long before he was sent to Philadelphia he had | been “scouted” by several major clubs. | He joined Philadelphia last Spring and. according to his own story, never | seemed to get a start. “I don't know why it was that I| couldn't hit that bali as I did in Cali- | fornia.” he said, “but I just couldn't. I reckon the Phillies thought they had drawn 2 blank. I was one California player who didn's shine like so many of the boys who have gone from that State to the East.” Arlett batted well enough in the 121 games that he played last season, as his percentage was around .310, and he made 18 home runs in a season when the home-run output decreased. Phila- delphia has traded him to Baltimore for Scarritt, looking for more activity in the field and on the bases. Arlett will bat high in the International League and Baltimore does not seem to have lost anything by the trade if Ar- PHLS T0 BOLSTER OUTFIELD FOR 198 Expect Scarritt and Taitt, Former Red Sox, to Aid Klein in Garden.
