BYRD. | OBABLY no other two| basket ball coaches in the | country, whose teams are meeting here tomorrow might in the Ritchie Coliseum, at | College Park, have more remark- | able records than Dr. Walter E.| Meanwell of the University of ‘Wisconsin and Buricn Shipley of the University of Maryland. Cer- tainly it is very, very unusual to have gquints facing each other Wwhose coaches have been so con- sistently successful. | Over a period of 20 years of coaching, | Pr. Meanwell has won over 75 per cent | ©f his games, with 18 of these seasons | ‘spent at Wisconsin and two at Missouri. | 3Qver a period of 12 years, the first thres | £f which were at Delaware and the lasc | g&nt_ Maryland, Shipley has just about tcned Meanwell's record. It also is ther remarkable that both men are nivexsity of Maryland alumni. Probably Meanwell is the mos: adver- tised man in basket ball today. Cer- tainly no other coach has had the| success enjoyed by him over so long & period, and no other coach has de- veloped a system so distinctive and s> widely copied. Meanwell's type of basket ball is taught in colleges and | universities and high schools from coast | to coast. H: has developed a pivot typs | of game exceedingly cifficul. to stop | without fouing and it works under a | system of accurate mechznical play and timing that is a delight to the man familiar at all with basket ball. | HIFLEY has built up an entirely | dilferent system from that of anwell, but which has been very | effective. Last year, the first in which the two systems met at their highest | efficiency, nsin_won by 2 points in an extra period, although Maryland | was leading within 15 seconds of the final whistee. Shipley uses a zono de- fense, which swicches at times to a combination man &nd zone, with a quick-breaking attack. The fact that Shipley has done so well, at times with 1 than Wisconsin has re for his system than mmendation. ipley has his cxcellent record | fact thai during his first the first in which the resented in_ basket Eall in recent times, he lost 6 of 14 due to lack of materis], his | to gt the game started.

SCHWARTZ FINISHED 1S STAR RINGMAN Stamina Fails, Takes Lacing From Sanstol—Davis Is Victim in Upset. T ever to little Benny Schwartz, ring critics who witnessed the Baltimore Jewish lad’s rout by the piston-like fists of Pete Sanstol l.st night at Portner's Arena are willing to concede today. Shortcomings he didn’t possess in his halycon days, chief among them lack of stamina, cropped up last night as the venerable Benny reached the fork in his path back to the pinnacle he once reache: For a time it appeared the sizeable clientele was about to wit- ness a glorious upset, but the tireless little Sanstol. Norwegian champion and ranked No. 2 by the N. B. A, wore down Schwartz with a vicious body at- tack and administered probably the worst defeat Benny has ever suffered CHWARTZ held his own in the first round and took the second, but thereafter it was all Sanstol. The blond Norwegian's only difficulty in the final five rounds of the eight-round bout was in shaking off Benny, who persisted in holding. At times Benny's efforts to hold Sanstol's arms were laughable. The big upset of the evening occurred in the semi-final when Joe Britten, unknown local fight fans, floored Roddy Davis with short rights to_the jaw four times in the first round. Ref- eree Charlie Short stopped the slaughter before the first bell. Davis, seeking his twelfth straight victory, was never HE portals to the bantamweight elite apparently are closed for- in the running against the hard-hitting Baltimorean. OB LOWRY, promising local light- weight, added a second knockout to the bang-up card when he flat- tened Eddie Collins in the second round of their scheduled four-rounder. Cary Wright won a decision from Johnny Koles, and Eddie Compton copped a thriller from Buddy Spenner in other preliminaries. Next Tuesday's card, it was an- nounced, will be featured by a bout between Bob Godwin and Les Kennedy. Pete Sanstol and Jimmy Mack will meet a week later. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.

By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, December 21.— The national pocket billiard cham- pionship lies strictly between Ralph Greenleaf of New York and Erwin Rudolph of Cleveland, with the other eight hopefuls definitely also rans. Greenleaf's seventh successive vic- tory of the currrent championship tournament, @ 125-t0-69 _triumph over 22-year-old Jimmy Caras last night, together with Rudolph’s sixth winning | game in seven starts, left these two | veteran masters of the game the sole | remaining contenders for the crown | now held by Greenleaf. | Greenleaf’s two remaining games take him against Pasquale Natalie of Chicago this afternoon and against Rudolph tomorrow night. Rudolph, be- | fore he clashes with the champion, | must tackle Andrew Ponzi, the sensa- tional Philadelphian, tonight. A victory for Greenleaf today, coupled with a defeat for Rudolph, automatically would clinch the title again for the dapper champion. ARAS, competing in his first cham- pionship, gave Greenleaf a tough fight before he surrendered to the | champion's superb play last night. The | Wilmington, Del., youngster took a long | lead with a high run of 54 in the sec- ond inning, but Greenleaf met this with a cluster of 62 in his half of the came frame and then virtually clinched the title with another run of 50 in his third turn at the table. The next three innings were devoted to safety play, but Greenleaf finally got the balls roll- ing in the seventh and ran out the game. Caras finished his tournament sched- ule with six victories and three de- feats, good enough to assure him of at least a te for third place. even have a chance at second should Rudolph lose both his remaining games. RuBoLers sixth victory in seven starts was achieved yesterday aft- ernoon over Natalie, 125 to 49, in 18 innings, tady. Frank Taberski, Schenec- veteran, completed his schedule’ with a 125-t0-50 victory over George Kelly, his fourth triumph in nine matches. Kelly won two and lost seven. Y. | Plaver.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, December 21.—By| an overwhelming margin, the Nation's sports experts have de- cided that the New York | Yankees’ feat of winning the American League championship and the world series was the greatest team achieve- ment of the year. Exactly 100 out of the 302 votes cast in the second annual Associated Press | poll of sports writers and editors went to the Yankees. The college foot ball | teams of Colgate and Southern Califor- | nia, the pro outfit of the Green Bay | Packers, the United States Olymph:} track and field squad, and California’s | all-conquering crew, finished badly dis- tanced also-rans to the Yankees. Colgate’s foot ball array, undefeated, untled and unscored upon, finished in | second_place with 33 votes, six more than Southern California’s’ mole-skin Warriors. Apparently it was the Yankees' con- sistent performance over the long stretch from April to October that turned the tide of ballots toward them rather than to any one foot ball team. The Yankees played 160 games where foot ball elevens are asked to play nine or 10 at the most. Here’s how the leaders finished in the balloting: 2. Colgate, foot ball 3.

Boss is regarded by Southern League players as the best first base- man ever developed in the Dixie loop. A big, powerful hitter, Boss could hold a job on any team, but then, too, he is exceptionally fast and is a sure-fire man getting badly thrown balls. Cleveland hopes that the acquisi- tion of Boss will spur Morgan on to his 1931 form. If he does, Boss will stay on the bench and Morgan will be used daily, but that is only a hope. Boss has a big chance. If he shows well in the Spring drills, Mor- gan will be groomed for the outfield or may be used later in a trade. CRAM ACT PUT ON BY BABE DIDRIKSON Banned A. A. U.

OACH BURT SHIPLEY'S Uni- versity of Maryland basket ball quint will pry open its floor season tomorrow night against a Badger team from Wisconsin strong |enough to make the Terrapin trek backward. This team from the cold land of the | Midwest is not only a strong aggrega- tion in itself, but it is tutored by about | the slickest cage wizard of them all, Dr. | Walter E.

He knows what the athletic policies at Maryland demand, and sees that they get the best of service. Shipley came to College Park, Md., as a 4-year-old. It was at that time when the foot ball players at all schools played until they had to be carried out on the field in wheel chairs. In Ship's early days as a student at Maryland Agricultural College, which was Univer- sity of Maryland’s original nante, a boy played on the athletic teams until old age slowed him up. From 1908 until 1914 Ship was a | member ‘of the Maryland foot ball eleven and of the base ball nine. Dur- ing 1911 to 1914 he played with the basket ball team. At that time basket ball was just being accepted as part of the school’s athletic program. career, starting at Perkiomen School, a year later to Marshall College and then had his work checked by the World War.
