‘WASHINGTON, D, O, SATURDAY, DECEMBER’ 8, 1934, Athletic Union Quashes Jewzsh Issue : & SEMITICS AGREE WITH BRUNDAGE Domestic Problems Occupy Convention—Ace Mermaid May Be Banned. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor, IAMI, Fla, December 8. — The Amateur Athletic Union cleared the decks for the first | general session of the forty- sixth national convention today at the Miami Biltmore Hotel by quashing a major controversial issue, arising from | threatened efforts to revive opposition to America’s acceptance of the invita- tion to take full part in the 1036 | Olympics in Berlin Convention leaders, including all the Jewish delegates, rallied to the support | of President Avery Brundage overnight and decided to sidetrack any attempt to make further issue of Germany's anti-Jewish activities, in so far as they affect athletics. In effect this was an indorsement of the decision of the American Olympic Committee, under Brundage's leader- ship, to accept the German invitation and removed from the agenda an issue which threatened to split the meeting wide open, Jewish Delegates Satisfied. bt E FEEL that Germany's sol- ‘/‘/ emn pledges, Brundage's full investigation of conditions in that country and the subsequent ac- tion of the American Olvmpic Com- mittee in accepting the Olvmpic invi- tation have combined to close the issue over anti-Jewish policies of the Berlin government, at least for the time be- | ing,” said a spokesman for a group of Jewish delegates. “There is nothing to be gained nor any objective to be achieved at this time by reopening the controversy. The situation has under- gore definite change since the A. A. U. last year went on record as strongly condemning Germany's violation of the Olympic principles of sportsman- ship.” | It was indicated that the convention would “steam roller” any isolated at- | tempt to force the issue upon the | floor, today or tomorrow Apparent disposal of this explosive topic paved the way for the A, A. U, to concentrate on its domestic prob- lems and approve its slate of cham- | pionship competition for 1935, | Meets Not Contested.

Although the National Registration Committee failed to discuss the mat- ter last night, the amateur status of Eleanor Holm Jarrett, Olympic swim- ming star and holder of many back- gtroke records. may be questioned on the floor of the convention, as a re- sult of the use of her name and pic- ture in an advertisement for a swim- ming suit Evidence of Mrs, Jar- rett's alleged violation of the amateur rules has been put in the hands of President Brundage by the Central Association of Chicago. although the Metropolitan Association of New York already has investigated the matter, recefved the swimmer's statement that she did not authorize the indorse- ment in question and decided her conduct does not warrant ineligibility.

HICAGO, December 8—The question of the eligibility of five Minnesota foot ball stars —Iif it amounts to a question in the eyves of the Western Confer- ence faculty committeemen—still re- mained to be decided today. The question, expected to be the most important item of business to come before the powerful Big Ten group. was not even discussed at their opening session last night. They were scheduled to get together again today. and a decision might be forthcoming. The members of the mighty squad rom the North, which romped through eight straight games without defeat, who come under the freshman com- petition rules are Stan Kostka, Bill Bevan, Art Clarkson, Vern Oech and | George Svendsen. It was reported that Ohio State would attempt to sal- vage another year of competition for a star back, Jack Smith, who played only a few minutes of a single game during his sophomore year, but this case also failed to come up for consid- eration.

Whalen and Fenlon were to start in the local team'’s backfield, along with Finis Parrish and Don Bomba. other former George Washington aces. Some Great Backs.

Tony Holm, still another backfield ace, was the fourth all-America with the Dixie aggregation. Holm was not slated to start the contest, which is for the benefit of the Almas Temple, but probably will replace the elderly Hubert after the first quarter.

Their names haven't vet been engraved on any na- tional title mugs. lev pay off on the mighty sock in golf, but the 4-foot putt still determines championships. Hunter Had No Superior. N THE long-hitting side we would | like to see a rangy duel between Monro Hunter and Lawson Lit- tle, or between Gamber, the Detroit bomber, and Jimmy Thompson, the fresh-faced blond who picked up his socking habits at Burning Tree, where his daddy held down the professional berth about 10 vears back. Gamber never went anywhere in champion- the men who attalned national | | ! ships because he was through after | the tee shots. He never learned the art of the short game, where strokes are saved. Hunter, had he been able to play the intermediate irons with the skill of Chick Evans, brought a national championship to ‘Washington, | ball could outrange him from the tee. Jimmy Thompson, good as he is, has uon nothing much. They talk of Lawson Little's mighty wallops, but any one who has watched the Stanford senior perform and has checked closely on his game knows that Lawson, besides being one of the mightiest of hitters, also has the touch of a debutante on the putting green. Little is one of the finest strokers of a 15-foot putt you can find any- | where. That's where he won his two championships, and not altogether with those wool-waving wallops from the tee. He savors somewhat of Bob Jones, but he isn't as gocd on the short pitches and the lethal work around the hole as was the Great One from Atlanta. Nor is he a longer hitter than was Jones when the Em- peror wanted to let out. The main difference between them is that Law- son is all out on every long shot. The Foot Ball Is By the Associated Press. ARSHALL, Mich,, Decem- ber 8—Back in 1923 and 1924, when Homer Hazel was making Wal- ter Camp's all-America foot ball team while playing for Rutgers, the most enthusiastic rooter in the stands was his son, Larry. Time has turned the tables, for now Larry is star quarterback of the Marshall High School and Homer Hazel, become a business man, sits on the Marshall bench at every game. It is doubtful whether any other boy can remember seeing his father play college foot ball, but Larry re- “members it well, although he was only 5 and 6 years old then. The elder Hazel also remembers it well, but he believes that, whatever thrills his boy may have experi- enced they can’t compare to the Hazels’ Game Boy Who Saw His All-America Dad Play Now Thrills Parent as High School Gridder. thrills he has enjoyed watching his son in action. Larry is 16 now and a high school junior. After watching him play high school foot ball for three years, his father, speaking from his five years’ experience as & coach, describes him as “an excel- lent prospect.” “I think he's going to be better than I was,” the elder Hazel said. “He's been handling a foot ball since he was just a little chap, while I never played until I was 17. I act in kind of an advisory capacity with the team, but I have let the coach (Clytus Carr of Western State Teachers’ College) handle Larry. If he does develop into the foot ball player I think he will the coach should get the credit. “Yes, Larry's going to college, but I don't know yet whether it will be Rutgers. He's not going to be a foot ball coach, though, if can help it.” would have | for no man hitting a | | winning the championships. | Defeats Mount Rainier in Open- Bears 8-5 Favorites in Grid anal Mighty Sluggers From Tee Seldom Land in Front at Pay-off. R. McCALLUM. Jones of the 20s never looked as if he even though it ranged out there beyond the 260-yard mark. He always had something in reserve, some unused source of energy and power. He used this on the long holes where he needed the big sock. No man in the world ever got more consistently close to the green in w2 shots on the par 5 holes than Robert Tyre Jones He picked up more| birdies on the par 5 affairs than any man plaving the game in those davs when he was seeking the champion- ship baubles and winning them. Short Game Wins Titles, O IT all comes down to the plain unvarnished fact that even though the galleries go to “Oh" and “Ah" at the tee shots. where a socker like Little and the others pile inte an innocent little ball, champion- ships are not being won from the tee Bob Barnett insists that in the upper segment of the game—among the class A golfers—the tee shot is the most important thing. Perhaps it is. f it is consistently hit long and straight.

In his day Roland MacKenzie could park a golf ball about as far from the tee as any man hitting the apple today. As a kid at Western High School and at Brown University Ro- land gained for himself an in- ternational reputation as a long hitter of parts. But also in those days. when he was rated among the first five ama- teurs in this country, Roland was as good a holer of 10-foot putts as you could find in many a day's journey. The Roland MacKenzie of today still is a lengthy hitter, but he is not as long as he used to be. He realizes that mere distance doesn't win golf matches. Olin Dutra, the big don from Los Angeles, who holds the national open, is not rated one of the world's lengthiest hitters. But Olin can hit a golf ball right along with the Sar- azens, the Hagens, the Craig Woods | and the others. Controlled power is! the secret of the Dutra success, Big| as he is. Olin never really cuts loose with the wooden clubs. If he did he might grab himself a reputation as a | tremendous socker. But he never does.

December 8 —Foot Rall can put on more upheavals than any other two | sports hung together. South- ern California and Notre Dame nnrr‘ more stage their big act. but vhml time there will be no clash or crash | Just four years ago, Knute Rockne led an unbeaten Notre Dame team into action against a great Southern California outfit. Those were the days | when Notre Dame and Southern Cali- | fornia usually were battling for the so-called national championship. In this 1934 meeting. Southern Cali- fornia already has tripped over the tall hurdles set up by Washington State, Pittsburgh. Stanford. California and | Washington, while Notre Dame has slipped before Texas, Pittsburgh and | Navy—a total of eight defeats for these old rivals. This shows how swiftly conditions can change. In spite of this, the rivalry is just as keen as it ever was. Both Howard Jones and Elmer Lavden are seeking all the con- solation they can get from this closing contest, in which Notre Dame carries the margin in backfield strength. There are not many backfields that | carry better talent than Melinkovich, Elser, Pilney, Shakespeare. Layden. | Carideo, Bonar and others who make up the South Bend cast. This will be the final battle for Cotton Warburton, a sensation in 1933, but injured in the current campaign. k’ i’ such ranking teams as Michi- | gan, Southern California, Georgia Tech and a few others, who fell upon the most disastrous season in their history? In the case of Michigan and South- | ern California, it was a combination | of two phases— First, the absence of material which made them great before. Second, too many years of victory, which always takes away the edge after a certain length of time. These things seem to run their natural courses, no matter' what the spot. In any event, the downfall of Southern California and Michi- gan came as balm to more than one coach wavering on his job. A year ago, one of the big arguments was this: “Who is the greater coach —Howard Jones of U. S. C., or Harry Kipke of Michigan?” Both had developed fine teams. Both had proved their ability to de- velop winning combinations. Both “ What Happened? HAT happened this season to to 1934. There was no questioning their abil- ity to teach fundamentals, handle men But when the material faded out, it had to be a different story for these two, just as it has been for all coaches. Coach or Material? OESN'T this answer the old ques- D tion as to which is more im- portant—the coach or the ma- terial? It proves beyond any argument that no coach can take poor material and beat much better material. Because in this present day there are too many good coaches from every section of the country—too many who know ¢ ] of their best | performances of Dixie Howell their stuff if they have anything to work with This may prove that the ma- terial is more important than the coach to a certain degree, but a coach still can miss fire on good material if he lacks the ability to organize, teach and inspire. Td say that today the material is even more important than the coach, with so many high-class coaches on the job. The coaching schools have brought about a big advance in this respect. They have lifted the general coaching average far above other years For example, this season.
