‘A—10 Rejuvenated Cards on Mettle Tonight : All Sporis Al DEFEAT OF LOYOLA KEY T0 BIG THINGS Cotton Proves His Worth as Coach—Navy Has Great Player in Loughlin. BY H. C. BYRD. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY'S rejuvenated basket ball| team is hoping for a break‘ that will give it a victory over Loyola of Baltimore tonight in the Brookland gymnasium. The Cardinals began their season as if' they were not going to get a very bountiful look-in on the fruits of success, but recently have begun to play a kind of basket ball that has developed real optimism. And tonight, meeting a team that took Maryland’s measure by one point, they feel that another win, which will be almost a triumph, should place them on the high road to an excep- tionally good year, or, anyway, a far better one than anybody had any good | reason to expect | Bus Sheary and White are the main- springs in the C. U. five, and they bore the brunt of the offense in the defeat of St. Joseph’s and Villanova last week. However, the work of Gallagher, a Washington boy, wWho recently won a Jjob at center, has been a factor, as he seems to have added just about what was needed to give the team a fair chance against strong opponents. Loyola is to present against the Brpoklanders a team hard to defeat. At Jeast Maryland found it a tough enough opponent last week. If C. U. can get away with the long end of the score it will be its best accomplishment this season, and certainly should develop in the players a good deal of confidence. And such a victory would be an indication of future successes. 'ORREST COTTON, coach of the | rooklanders in basket ball, is much encouraged over the im- Em\'emem the team has shown. When e began work with the squad last Fall, Catton's outlook did not seem very bright. However, he dug in, at first with more or less indifferent success, but he has effected a gradual improve- ment until now it seems that he has brought his men to a point where they are good enough to give any of their opponents a fairly even battle, If the C. U. team continues throughout its season the kind of play it showed last ‘week against St. Joseph’s and Villanova, whether or not it wins its games or Cotton should be given credit for ing done an exceptionally good job.

BY BILL PARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. | ALLAS, Tex., January 18— Two Summers ago Dallas played host to the women’s national track and fleld championships. | There was not a single woman | athlete in the city or State con- | sidered capable of giving the Na- | tion’s stars any sort of champion- ship competition in any event,. So Mildred Babe Didrikson, clerk in an insurance company |office, took the afterncon off, marched out to the meet, and be- fore the sun had set established two national records—in the jave- lin and base ball throws—and fin- ished a close sscond in the broad | jump. Today this same Babe Didrikson is to he American women's Olympic track | and field team what Helene Madison is to the swimming squad. She holds eight Southern and three national Amateur Athletic Union records. She quarrels over the fact that she's | only allowed to compete in three events | in each national meet. Given her own | way she'd run right down the list, from | sprints to weights, and probably win a majority of them. P to that afternoon when Babe dis- | covered she was a track star, the | athletic endeavors of this slim, 18- old girl has been confined merely to et ball, boxing, bowling, foot ball, golf, tennis, base ball, gymnastics, rifle marksmanship, cycling, Speed skating, | hand ball, life-saving tests and squash. She is an all-America basket ball for- | ward and once held her own in an e | hibition boxing match with “Babe” Stribling, lightweight brother of the heavyweight. She likes to fight. Her voice is deep, her remarks virulent and pointed. She has a few close girl |Irlends and isnt much interested in | boys. A short time ago the A. A. U. decided against nicknames for girl athletes. So she sent the authorities a birth certifi- cat> to prove she had been christened “Babe.” She never went to college, but one big university offered her a four- year scholarship if she’d matriculate there in time to represent the school in the Olympics. “SNAY favorite sport? Say, I'm sorry but I don’t have one,” she said. “The best way to take athletics is to like them all. “My favorite hobby? There is no such thing.

Not only is he fast, but in one way or An-‘ other seems able consistently to elude his opponents. And, once he gets clear, it nearly always means a goal, as he is a wonderfully accurate shot. It was his brilliant play that pulled the game with Virginia out of the fire, and Saturday he made 16 points of the total got by Navy to beat Duke, 36 to 25. | Any time one player cages the ball for 16 points and, comparatively speaking, does it in nearly every contest, despite the preparations and watchfulness of his opponents, that player is worthy | of far more than ordinary considera- tion. He is the one man on the Navy team that Maryland is jumpy about, out. rezson, 2s he played le on the Navy five that year beat Maryland by 3 points. NOTHER foot ball coach has shown greater fondness for his alma mater than for higher honors in his profession.

The team is playing ebout the best basket ball that George ‘Washington teams have shown since the Collifiowers, Schlosser and Fowler were in their heyday. Foot ball teams, base ball pitchers end almost every kind of team and in- | dividual seem to have stumbling blocks exceedingly difficult to surmount. For‘ the University of Tennessee this seems to be Kentucky. Two out of the last three years the Tennessee eleven has been stubbed by Kentucky, and last Fall was kept from getting an invita- tion to the Rose Bowl, instead of Tulane, by the 6 to 6 tie with Ken- tucky.

Y. Walberg heard about a ski contest at Fox River Valley, Ill, yesterday and came out to compete, along with the Nor- wegian brothers Roud, Birger and Sig- mund. He took two leaps clearing 174 feet and 183 feet to better twice the slide record set by Caspar Oimoen of Canton, S. Dak.,, the American cham- plon, last year. Oimeon's mark was 173 feet. Birger Ruud was second, with a good leap of 182 feet, and Guttorm Paulsen of Chicago, did 180 feet for third place. George A.

Although forced to take second place in the ratings so far, Oimoen turned in the longest jump of the day, 161 feet, which was 22 feet short of the local record. A small crowd witnessed the events, due principally to an announcement Saturday that the trials had been post- ned until January 24 because of a ?X(I)o\l‘swrm and blocked highways. Ideal weather yesterday, however, led the committee in charge to decide on trials for both yesterday and next Sunday. The average of points scored on both days will determine the members of the four-man team which will rep- resent the United States as jumpers in the Olympic Winter games at Lake Placid, N. Y., in February. Close behind the two leaders was the veteran, Pedar Falstad, Sioux Valley Club, with leaps of 150 and 158 feet for a total of 308, followed by Lemoine Batson, Stoux Valley, with 154 and 145 feet. Thus the local club took three of the first four places in the prelim- inaries.

One of the main principles in- volved in driving a golf ball straight and far is to keep the clubhead low and parallel to the ground as you swing it through the ball on the di- rection line. When a club is so swung, a straight drive results. The distance gained depends upon the speed of your clubhead through this part of the arc of the swing. But when we come to the pitch KEEPING CLUBHEAD Low AND PARALLEL TO TURF IMPARTS DISTANC R AND RUN 1O BALL B M shots—those played with lofted irons —this principle does not hold. Here the star golfer strives to impart backspin to the ball in order to hold it near where it drops on the green.
