Just when it appeared | as though “Pin 'Em Down” Depression had the local end of the rassling racket | by the ears, up popped Prof. James Londos, rassling’s prize hypnotist, with the result that today it is feared that caulifiowers are going to enjoy con- tinued popularity. Prof. Londos has lost none of his art of hypnotism, as attesteC by the crowd | of nearly 6,000 which packed the Wash- | ington Auditorfum to witness Dr.| Londos' brand of “chiropracticism” on | the chassis of Frank Judson in defense | of a goodly claim on the world ra.ss)lng“ champeenship. | n | ONDOS, whose presence in New York | Wednesday eve resulted in smashed doors of the St. Nicholas arena in | Gotham, so large was the crowd, per- | formed before the biggest local indoor | crowd in exactly a year when he spilled Judson yesterday in 44 minutes of wrestling. The match, pitting Judson against Londos for the first time, pro- duced more real wrestling and excite- ment since Fred Grobmier fractured a Londosian rib at Griffith Stadium last Summer, | Judson's wrist-lock threats kept Lon- dos on the defensive most of the way and for the first 30 minutes there was Iittle to choese between the contestants. | Then, as usual, Londos’ superior con- | dition appeared to become manifest. Judson began puffing and blowing and | seeking to become involved in some harmless sort of hold which wculd en- | able him to rest and catch his breath, | Londos, however, would have none of that. and took the offensive. For 14 minytes longer Judson managed to re- main unpinned, but Londos’ many air- | plane spins finally shook up the former Harvard mat instructor so that Jeems had only to hop aboard. AUL JONES won for himself a pos- sible main-event engagement and a shiny loving cup, indirectly the gift of Wallace Beery. the movie rassler, when he defeated Pat McKay | in the semi-final after 24 minutes of fast action. Jones sprung several new grips, which the officials’ hold-identi- fiers made no attempt to explain, The fastest of 21l the bouts found Abe Ccleman and Joe Cox going to a 30- minute draw. The pair spent most of | the half hour darting from corner to corner and in flying tackles, In an- other 30-minute draw Jim Clinkstock and Rudy Dusek slapped and growled, with Dusek having his difficulties with # sciscors when the whistle sounded.

'HE following play by Morton High of Cicero, Ill, State high school champion of 1931-32, played an important part in carrying this fast team to its big success under the expert tutelage of Coach Norman Ziebold. That fine strategist, Craig Ruby of Illinois, calls the play one of the most bril- liant in basket ball. It is a double-pivot play, which begins with a dribble by right guard (5) down the right side and two feints on the other side of the court, one by left guard (4), who advances toward the side line and then re- verses to the center of the court, and the other by left forward (1), who, from the left corner, dashes along the left sideline toward the center of the court. No. 5 finishes his dribble and passes through his defensive for- ward to center (2), who makes a half pivot, ‘from which two devel- opments evolve. First, he passes to right forward (3) as that player ad- vances to the free throw line; sec- ond, he crosses over and screens 3's guard. No. 5, meantime, has cut around his forward, following his dribble. He drives down the right side of the court, which has been freed of play- ers, and 3, half-pivoting, passes to him under the basket. Next: Oklahoma jump near enemy basket.

ITH this article I am going to wind | up the story of my track and fleld | career. I have been asked to say something about my training methods and explain why I have been able to win all but four or five of the 150 events I entered during the three years I was an amateur track and field star. I have never trained in the strict sense. I do about the same in training as at other times. I eat what I want, except that I don't drink coffee when I am getting in shape for a meet. I have a natural liking for vegetables, even spinach, and don't care much for meat. In all my life I have never been on a diet. I think the main reason I have been successful in athletics is that I love all sorts of exercise and gamss. I love to compete. I like to win and I try hard. Since I was a_lttle girl I have played at all sorts of sports, so my physical development has been general. All my muscles have been traihied. If I were to concentrate at a single form of sports, I know X could be good at it—swimming, galf,.tennis, sprints, jumps, weight events. But concentra- tion means giving up other games and I won't do that. I would bz unhappy if I had to work to perfect myself at a single thing, as most athletes do. 1 have really had only three years at athletics with coaching. I am told that one does not reach the top before six or sevin years. If that is true, I still have time to improve. I want to learn to play golf and ten- nis so I can compete Wwith the best. During the Olympic games I played & round in Los Angeles with Grantland Rice, Westbrook Pegler and Paul Gal- |lico. Grant and I played together ard we won the match. There may | have been some courtesy here and | there in counting the strokes, but I scored an 82, and it was only the ninth round I had playéd in my life. Last week at White Sulphur Springs I played aa round of nine holes in 39, breaking 80 for the first time. Next—How I Got Started at Golf.
