ITH the arrival of Max | Schmeling and the stately | tread of Jack Kearns along | metropolitan pavements, the heavyweight hullabaloo soon will be rocking all the architecture in the neighborhood. The ballyhoo will have | to be expanded to the limit this time, ! considering the scarcity of pocket change here and there, but said bally- hoo at least is in the hands of experts. The tangle ahead is still in a large snarl. The main idea is to get Schmel- ing and Mickey Walker into the same ring, probably in New York, and this can't be done unless Schmeling agrees to give Jack Sharkey another shot later on in June or July. Jacobs isn't so | keen about binding his fighter to any such match, with a chance that Jack Dempsey may come far enough along | to help build up a bigger gate. At any | rate, the situation lends itself to an- | other large bale of words, whatever | may happen later o The big invasicn of 1932 is on with a rush. In addition to Schmeling there | is now a parade of Norwegian skiers | on the way to Lake Placid for the big | Olympic_show, which opens in just a | month.

The Lith has a way of get- ting careless when his activity isn't | rewarded. But it took only one more fight to clear up the Schmeling case. No one in 400 fights had kept Young Stribling on the floor, and when the wandering | championship bout finally roosted in Cleveland, the champion snapped that string.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, January 11.—The St. Louis Cardii s are out to win an- other pennant, and if their chances of repeating are enhanced by trading Hack Wilson, he'll be traded. That's what Branch Rickey, vice president and general manager of the world champions, has to say about it He made the remark here during a lull in the mecting of the minor leagues’ committee of ve. Asking if the club was thinking of swapping off the husky player, Rickey sail “The answer to that is that we are out to win the pennant. If we think our chances of winning will be en- hanced by trading him for some other | player who will be of more aid to us, we'll trade him. If he convinces us that he will aid us more than any other player available, we certainly wifl not trade him.” | Discussing the $7,500 clause in the contract offered Wilson this year, Rickey said th> Cardinals “I'nd no thought of chezpness when we sent Wilson that | kind of a contract.

ONTREAL, January 11.—Japan probably has the smallest team that ever has entered an inter- national sports event in its squad of skijers and skaters who left here last night for the Olympic Winter games at Lake Placid, N.

For ex- ample, the University of Buffalo has been defeated only once in the past two years. It started this sea- son with an unbroken string of 25 straight victories. As it plays teams like Corncll, Yale and Carnegie Tech, it cannot be said to have a soft schedule Here's an out-of-bounds play that Buffalo uses most successfully. It was worked out by Art Powell, the Bisons' coach. Guard (5) has the ball out of bounds on the left side- line. His team lines up as in the diagram. When 5 passes the ball in to 4, the latter dribbles fer the basket, but quickly passes to for- ward (3), breaking out toward the foul circle. Upon making this pass 4 cuts to a position behind 1's opponent, thus freeing 1 for a break for the basket. Meantime 3 passes to forward (2). As 2 receives the ball 1 starts at top speed for the basket. No. 2 passes to him and 1 has a close-up shot as a result. Next—A clever center- tap play by Buffalo, (Copyright, 1932.) perience, especially on grass, Vines has the most wholesome game and bal- anced stroke equipment of any Ameri- can amateur now at the nets. He is not the wizard that France's Horatius, Henri Cochet, is. But with boyish en- thusiasm, Vines bears down as the mature Frenchman rarely does. EMEMBER, though, that Doeg looked good at the close of his championship - winning season, and slipped when he had the title won. Vines has more glittering trophies, me- mentos of Longwood, Seabright, New- port and other major tournaments, than any one player, Tilden included, ever won in a single campaign. His stock should not see a bear movement in 1932. Not unless Frank Shields de- cides to go after the glory that was| once prophesied for him, or Fred Perry, Britain's ace, improves in 1932 as he did in 1931. Tommy Creavy's station on the throne of professional golf in this country represents perhaps the most astounding upset of the year. A great putter, he had the good fortune to be playing well when the tourney was dispatched to a course brocaded with perfect patches of green. On a longer course, with more un- certain putting surfaces, Creavy has his troubles. He extends the pro pan- orama, which has been too much lim- ited to Farrell, Armour, Sarazen, Die- gel, Hagen, Horton Smith, Mac Smith and Ed Dudley. But of the pros who emerged in 1931, Wiffy Cox looks better for a steady puli—or a quick rise, too, for that matter. The odds on Creavy and Cox when the open starts at Fresh | Meadow next Summer will tell this | story. (Copyright. 1932. by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)

While re- | vision of the rules in the di- | rection of safety is being widely demanded, there is another group of fans suggesting modifications which will “take some of the unfairness out of foot ball” Collier's Weekly urges that this can be effected by limit- ing the number of men eligible to play in any one contest. Foot, ball as a game breaks all records when it comes to the number of fanatics | suggesting changes in its playing code. | Yet there are certain changes recom- mended which deserve a complete hear- ing, and one of these is that the num- ber of players eligible for each game | be limited. “In the early days of foot ball,” Col- lier's suggests, “frequently only 11, 12 or 13 men were used throughout a con- test. The situation has changed en- tirely in the last few years. In some games during the past season a team has used 45 men. “Against this human tidal wave of first-string men and reserves, the coach Man Power Urged as Foot Ball Reform of the opposing team might have only 20 men to call on. As a result he might put on an even and an equal contest for two periods, only to be finally battered down by fresh recruits.” After all, foot ball is supposed to be something more than a test of man- power and numerical superiority. It is supposed to be a battle in which the main factors are skill, speed, strategy, alertness, power and quick thinking. In professional foot ball the squad limit is 22 men. The pro teams fre- quently play twice a week. They may know better how to protect themselves and they may not always collide with the crashing abandon of collegians, but they play good, hard foot ball. It has been argued also that big squads have to be used to protect tired players and prevent injuries. This is only true to a degree. A coach might find it necessary to have 11 substitutes ready, but if it takes more than 22 men to play an hour of foot ball, with only 11 playing at one time, then the game seems to be just a trifle too annihilaf ing in its present form. Equalizing the numerical strength of opposing teams at least would take some of the unfairness out of foot ball. and 11 oyt - rting his seccnd season with the | Former St. Joe Star Assumes Post | starred the past three years in varsity | athletics at Mount St. Joseoh's College, | Baltimore, tcday assumed his new duties | | NO GERMAN HOCKEY TEAM. ’7 Some Great Driving.
