ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY has decided that, times being what they are, it had better curtail its intercollegi- ate athletic -activities for the remainder of the school year. It has announced that all sports schedules excepting that for basket ball will be abandoned tem- porarily,. However, the Brooklanders ‘will maintain its “present program in ysical education and intramural ac- vities,” states Dutch Bergman, direc- tor of athletics. ‘The move really means the elimina- tion of boxing and track from the Car- dinals’ intercollegiate program for the time . In no other sports have the lers been lctl\'m in Winter Boxing can not be made to pay in the District under the law and though Catholic Uni- wversity’s annual indoor track and field meet had become a major attraction in this branch of athletics hereabouts, fa- cilities at Brookland are too limited to have made it financially profitable. | Catholic University, like other insti- | tutions, had expected returns from its | Jast foot bail season to be large enough 10 enable it to carry on in, other sports, ‘However, despite one of the best elevens in its history, C.

ATTLING toe to toe with Duke’s basket ball team in Ritchie Coli- seum, at College Park, last night, Maryland handed its Southern Con- ference rival its first defeat of the bas- ket ball season in a red-hot 30-to-28 brawl, Decidedly the underdog before the fray, the Old Line team surprised even its most ardent followers by keeping right at Duke’s heels in the first half that ended with the North Carolinions holding only a 15-to-13 advantage. The second half was not long under way be- fore Vincent, Maryland center, who was high scorer of the game, pocketed the ball to make the score 21-19 for his team, and the OId Liners never re- linquished the lead thereafter.

ARRISBURG, Pa., January 13.— Joe Savoldi, Notre Dame foot ball star who turned profes- sional wrestler, asserts that at invi- tation of Premier Mussolini he is go- ing to take two foot ball teams to Italy next May to introduce the sport to Italitns. Savoldi sald one team is to be composed of Irish and the other of Ttalian players who have played at American schools. in Sudlersville, Md., October Jimmy Foxx, standing 6 feet in height, weighing 200 pounds, holds a unique record. In the first place, the Athletics first signed him in 1925 when he was only 17 years old. In the second, as a 17-year-old kid he played in 10 games for the Athletics, in which he batted for the spicy percen- tage total of .667. In the third piace, when he became a regular in 1928 at the age of 20, years, he broke in at three different Jobs—as a catcher, a third baseman and a first baseman, finishing with a sea- son’s batting average of .328. It isn't any simple matter to crash the big show when you are only 20 years old, but to crash the big show in three different spots has practically got to be a world record. The Down and Up of It. AMES EMORY FOXX, the home-run king of 1932, is a striking example of the sudden turns that happen in base ball, plus the net result of hurdline discouragement in one bounding jump. ‘The young ball player batted .328 in 1928, .354 in 1929 and .335 in 1930. Apparently the young star was on his way to a great spin when he suddenly skidded and fell, in 1931, to the com- paratively low mark’ of .291. It might be recorded here that for a brief period young Mr. Foxx was a trifle upset by this slump, but instead of fretting he decided to more than make up for the 1931 deficit in 1932. He not only lifted his batting average to the high mark of .364, the best in his career, but he also hammered out 58 home runs to lead the slugging Babe Ruth by 17 homers. In addition to this, he led his league in driving runs across the plate with a steady fusillade of timely blows, which even Lou Gehrig couldn't match—and this has been a Gehrig specialty for some time. Down the stretch he threatened more than once to break Babe Ruth's mark of 60 homers and for some time the Babe was a bit worried over the out- look. He had hoped that 60 mark would stand for all time—at least until his mighty bulk had turned to dust, to daisies and to dreams. And the Babe understood well enough that the age of 39 was no time to set out establishing a new record for any given season. Concerning Fox. UST what sort of cove is this James Emory Foxx? In the first place, he is a big, powerfully built young fel- anlx‘ one of the strongest men in base all. He has abnormal strength in his two forearms, which permits him to handle a big war bludgeon as if it were a feather duster. This strength of hands, wrists and arms gives him a lashing power, which might break up a ball game at any given moment, just as he practically decided the world series of 1931 with a 0 | ninth-inning home run, which came 1 0 Q Crocke! 0 Marrett, £.. 1 1 3 Antilla, Johnsor. £.. 0 0 0 Totals....10 442 Totals.... near to decapitating a spectator in the left center stands at St. Louls.

EW YORK, January 13.—The depression has erased the Poughkeepsie Regatta, college rowing’s classic competition, from the 1933 sports picture. Confronted by dwindling receipts from other sports and unbalanced ath- letic budgets, stewards of the Inter- collegiate Rowing Association have de- cided that the regatta, an annual fix- ture since 1895, with the exception of the war years of 1917-18-19, should be abandoned this year. Beaten in his fight to have the re- gatta held as usual this year, Maxwell Stevenson of Columbia, chairman of the board of stewards, did swing repre- sentatives of Navy, Cornell, Syracuse and Penn into an agreement to resume the championship, without qualifica- tion, in 1934. BANDONMENT of the regatta was forecast several weeks ago and be- came a virtual certainty when Cornell, on Tuesday, cancelled all her Winter and Spring sports schedules ex- cept basket ball. Syracuse took similar action last night. Columbia, Navy and Penn all are ex- pected to maintain crew schedules, al- lha]ugh on a smaller, less expensive scale. All of the schools annually invited to compete with members of the associa- tion at Poughkeepsie previously had in- dicated economic conditions would pre- vent their participation this year. In group was California, varsity win- ner last year, although some slight hope was held out that the cost of sending the Golden Bears East might be met by public subscription. There were some suggestions that the cost of the regatta might be covered by alumni or other outside support, but the stewards finally decided that any attempt to raise athletic funds at a time when so much human distress ex- ists would be bad policy. THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RICE | CHAMPIONS AND THEIR CHANCES FOR 1933. NO. 4—JIMMY FOXX. F you cared to, you might label James Emory Foxx “the Sudlers- ville swatsman” or “the slugger of Sudlersville.” For James Emory Foxx, the 1932 home run king, was born 22, 1907, which means that he starts in defense of his new honors at the tender age of 25Y, years, factions are 100 per cent for Jimm: 1'\::Lx.lieha.1-ne 4 , Mkable per- sonality, which. along. there was 3 generd] feelny That.

Gehrig had tied up the Babe in 1981 with 46 circuit smacks, not including another which he failed to run out, or which some one else failed to run out. ahead take long distance slugging crown away from the big young Philadelphian, 'EHRIG is one of the great sluggers of base ball history, but so is Jimmy Foxx. Any ball player who can turn in 58 home runs in one season at the age of 25 is a factor to be reckoned with later on. Both Foxx and Gehrig, in addition to their physical strength and bulk, have the temperament that leads to athletic success, the ability to keep concentrated and relaxed at one and the same moment, without giving vent to any nutwrlninduck fits in time of pressure and stral It may be that Chuck Klein, that mighty mauler of the National League, may come along to challenge both. But as it looks now, one of the leading fea- tures of the 1933 campaign should be the home run war between Foxx and Gehrig, with the Babe still threatening at_every turn. The Babe can be counted out only when old doc time has at last sounded the fatal and final “10.” Next: Helen Wills Moody. (Copyright, 1933, by North American News- paper Alliance, Inc.)

Lindstrom and Traynor Now Pull Together ONCE GREAT RIVAL! By the Associated Press. ITTSBURGH, January 13— Two of the greatest third basemen in ' major league base ball, mutual admirers but former foemen on the field, are fighting side by side. They are Harold (Pie) Traynor, erack third sacker for the Pirates, and PFreddy Lindstrom, third base- man and outfielder, acquired by the Buccaneers from the New York Giants. Lindstrom will patrol one of the outer gardens for the Pirate erew. Base ball rated Traynor “hot corner” when Lindstrom, about 20, became an overnight sensation while performing at the same post under John J. McGraw, former pilot of the New York Giants. Friends reveal Lindstrom strove to emulate Traynor, but while play- ing with New York admitted “Ple is & better player—he makes plays that I cannot make.” The Pirates and %‘t‘ were bnl; tling in an impos game & Forbes' Fleld when a mutual friend of the two stars invited them to his home for dinner.

ALS of the black bass, ene- mies of polluted streams, and yard-wide anglers all, members of the Washington chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America met Wednes- day night at the Raleigh Hotel to elect officers for the year—and to discuss fish protection. Dr. M. D’Arcy Magee, long a leader and tireless worker for all that the Waltonians stand for, was re-elected president of the local chapter, making it his fifth consecutive term. Thomas C. Gale, chairman of the Membership Committee, was elected secretary- treasurer, and Frank D. Barstow, “Dad,” was nominated vice president, relinquishing his office as treasurer, | one, I believe, he had held for 15 years. And then the boys went into action | on their favorite topics which, besides | good things to eat, was bass and the pollution of streams.

But from the information gleaned during the talks on bass, it was evi- dent to the layman visitor that if anyone is going to sneak up and. play foul tricks on the black bass in Vire ginia, Maryland and in the District, he has got to do it at midnight with~ out the benefit of the moon. Stories were told of members mg upon fishermen with bass by the hundreds ready to be bootlegged out of a certain locality. And the stories also told of how they were not leathered out of those spots, and would not be in the future. Every bass in the country ought to get up and give three cheers for the local Ikes, Nobody is going to take a wallop at them when Doc Magee, Don Carpenter, EQ Kefper, Glen Leach, Doc Holton, Dr. Rad- cliffe and a host of other Waltomians nd with their eyes speech even more action toward the protect! of the gamest fish in the pond.~ . —By TOM DOERER | HBAvILY FOR QIPES AND PLEATY DF SAMOKE...

While conditions here, it is under- stood, are not as bad as those in certain Maryland and _Pennsylvania towns where coal tar, dye stuff, other chemi- cals and residue seep into streams to turn millions of fish bellyward into the sunlight, it is not ideal nevertheless, and would be just as bad as many other ts were it not for the swishing of e Tke Walton ax over certain heads in the bailiwick. On the other hand, business firms in the District, I understand, have co-operated with the Waltonians in their quest for fish and game preser- vation to the extent of installing ap- paratus to purify their refuse before it flows into local streams, Yet there is work to be done on Rock Qreek and at Haines Point, the Walton- fans say, and toward this the powerful machinery of the Waltonians of Amer- dca will be soon directed. It will move into Congress. It will go on further until stream pollution here has been minimized.
