This is the second of a series of stories analyzing results of the an- nual Associated Press sports poll on outstanding competitors and devel- opments of the year. BY ALAN GOULD. Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, December 19.— Picking up where his great southpaw rival, Carl Owen Hubbell, left off a year ago, the celebrated Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean rules the sporting roost of 1934 as the outstanding performer in any sport, by virtually a landslide vote of acclaim in the fourth annual Associated Press sports poll. Nearly 75 per cent of the ballots, received from sports writers and edi- tors throughout the country, named the right-handed pitching ace of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals as the No. 1 athlete of the year, ama~ teur or professional. He was put at the head of the list by 76 out of 112 observers, each of whom was asked to name the three outstanding athletes of 1934. Easily he outscored such notables as William Lawson Little, jr.; Perry and Glenn Cunningham, who finished in that order, and collected 8 total of 268 points in the complete tabulation, more than double the total for Little, 113. Hubbell Is Shut Out. UBBELL, the 1933 winner, failed to receive a single vote despite the fact the pitching ace of the New York Giants turned in one of the year's outstanding stunts in fanning Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons and Cronin in succession in the all- star major league game. Winner of 30 games during the regular National League season and victor in two out of three World Beries starts, Dean's accomplishments as well as his colorful personality ap- pealed more strongly to the sporting {raternity than the explois of any baseball star since Babe Ruth was at the peak. A share of the vote in this year's poll, however, coupled Dizzy and his 21-year-old brother Paul, or “Dafly” Dean, as an “entry” on the grounds | that their pitching accomplishments are inseparable. Thus, while Dizzy stood at the top of the list, he also com- bined with his brother to finish fifth on the basis of this freak balloting. Clinching the runner-up role on the strength of his remarkable achieve- ment in capturing both British and American amateur golf champlonships this year, Lawson Little was rated the outstanding amateur of 1934 in com- petition with a strong group of rivals. Voted first by eight experts, Little ‘was included in the top three on more than half the ballots and easily out- pointed his leading amateur rival, Fred Perry, world champion tennis player and British Davis Cup ace. Perry finished fourth, trailing Max Baer, the heavyweight boxing champion, as well as Dizzy Dean and Little. Perry nntd Baer each received five first-place votes. A. A. U. Is Ignored. TH.E heavy vote for little is note- ! worthy as an expression of opin- ion contrasting with the decision of the Amateur Athletic Union to omit the Californian’s name from the list of seven athletes eligible for the Sulli- van Memorial Medal, awarded an- nually to the athlete contributing most for the cause of amateur sport. _ _Glenn Cunningham, Capt. Francis (Pug) Lund of Minnesota's foot ball team; Barney Ross, Mickey Cochrane, Bill Cummings, Ben Eastman and Bronko Nagurski were accorded first- place nominations. ’ Results of the poll on the outstand- ing individual performer of 1934, with point totals (figured on basis of 3 for first, 2 for second, 1 for third) follows, with the individual, sport, position and points enumerated in that order: Jerome H.

W. Wick- boldt as girector of the L. S. U. 125- piece bahd. Wickboldt, he said, had resigned because of ill health. Friction between Jones and Long, who has been accused of trying to “run the team,” reached a climax after the intersectional battle between L. 8. U. and Oregon last Saturday, which L. S. U. won, 14 to 13, after staging an uphill battle. Long attempted to enter the dress- ing room at the half to make a “pep” talk, but Jones, busy diagramming a defense against Oregon plays, refused to let him speak, and then told the Senator he was “through.” Stays in Military Position. R. SMITH, in accepting the resig- nation, said he did so “with great reluctance.” He announced that Jones would con- tinue at the University as an assistant professor of military science and tac- | tics, to which the War Department assigned him when he came here as coach. Jones has declined all comment on the tiff with Long, and was out of town today on a hunting trip. Jones made the best rd of any foot ball coach in the history of L. S.

With Big Dave Smukler, smashing fullback still ina hospital, Warner yesterday built up his main offensive by including the high-scoring Danny Testa as one of his principal ball carriers. Lloyd Wise and Elmer Anderson were on the ends; Bill Docherty and Jim Russell manned the tackles and Johnny Boyd and Stanley Gurzynski were the guards. Capt. Pete Stevens was again at center.

Coach Ted Cox divided the Greenies into two squads and sent them through a long session of passing and running plays yesterday. . The wavemen have been idle since their game with Louisiana State Uni- versity and Cox, taking no chances of incurring injuries to his team, plans to whip the Greenies into shape gradu- ally. %he condition of “Little Monk” Simons, star halfbagk, was still unde- termined.

HOWDY, HOOSIER. : —By JIM BERRYMAN WAL- WAL / HAOW YUH BOYS 2 AIRE YUH FEELIN PERT ENOUGH FER THE SPORTLIGHT Quickness More Important Than Speed in Foot Ball, Coach Zuppke Contends. BY GRANTLAND RICE OS ANGELES, December 19.— Robert W. Zuppke, the sage of Illinois, is a great believer in quickness. “We hear too much about speed in foot ball,” he says. “Quickness is more important—quick- ness of feet, hands and head. A slow starter may have speed, after he gets under way. But he doesn't often get under way.” “What is the age of quickness?” I asked. “Stamina comes after 25 or 26. Most marathon runners, the good ones, | are in between 26 and 35. But what about quickness?” “The age of quickness,” Zuppke said, “is from 19 to 23. This is where sup- pleness and cgility reach their top marks. Later on there can be speed, but natural quickness begins to die out after one is 26.” “I had to get by with quickness this year,” Zuppke said. “My foot ball team ranged from 155 to 189—189 was my heaviest man. We were outweighed from 10 to 20 pounds in almost every game, and yet lost only one start. I like quick men—quick movers—quick thinkers. I can’t use lumbering giants. I'd much rather heve a quick 150- pounder than a slow 220-pounder.” A good example of this is the Four Horsemen, who averaged 158 pounds, the lightest big-time backfield in his- The Case of Red Grange. 5 ED GRANGE,” the Illinois coach continued, “was not only quick but fast on his feet. Grange had a way of picking his openings, timing his charges, but, when the opening came, he was through like a flash. He could run the 100 in 10 flat in a foot ball suit. Back at Illinois he was one of the fastest men in a foot ball suit I ever saw—faster than track men who could do 9.7 in & track suit.” “Red also had one of the quickest competitive mind$ I've ever known. He could size up a situation in a flash, and action was almost instan- taneous with thought. It was like setting fire to a pile of powder. Grange never lost his head—no matter what the situation. In the famous Chicago game he was cornered and practi- cally surrounded twice by four or five tacklers, and yet worked his way out for long runs. It was marvelous to see Red time a tackler—or out- time him, changing his pace to meet the situation. Grange was a foot ball genius—and you don’t get a genius often in anything. “Another thing about Grange—he knew the art of relaxing. He never was tense between plays. He knew how to handle his nervous system. He wasted little effort. That's one of the reasons Red has been a star foot ball player for a dozen years.” Speaking of Star Competitors. N ORDER to carry out the compet- itive argument, I dropped by the famous Gay Lion Farm at El Monte. Why is the lion known as the king of beasts? Mr. Gay has 221 lions in his stadium, ranging from a week to 30, years old. He ought to know. “The lion,” he insists, “is the great- est competitor in the animal world. The lion can whip & tiger for just one reason—it has everything the tiger has on atack—speed, quickness, courage, etc., and it has a perfect de- fensive armor against teeth and claws in the thick, matted mane that pro- tects both throat and stomach. It would be almost impossible for a tiger or a leopard to reach a lion's throat, and the throat is the main target— Lion Jumpers. SHOW the natural egility.of & lion, even one brought up in captivity, Mr. Gay put on an exhibition, One of his younger lions, from a standing start, with just a slight for- ward movement, cleared 20 feet from one table to another. When you figure that a grown lion weighs around 500 pounds, it takes something in the way of muscular agility to carry this much weight 20 feet through the air from a standing start. Starting '’Em Young. HE majority of stars in sport get an early start. Bobby Jones, Babe Ruth, Dizzy Dean, Walter | Hagen, Ty Cobb, Jack Dempsey and | Bill Tilden all began picking up their | favorite games between the ages of | 7 and 10. C boxing before I was 9 years old,” Dempsey once said. Bobby Jones began swinging a golf club at 7. “These lions you see here would have a hard time in the jungle,” Mr. Gay said. “In the jungle they are trained to kill from what you might call babyhood. They rarely miss a vital thrust. Brought up out of the jungle their timing would be entirely different. They would miss too many targets. i “Their weapons are about the same. Look at those baby lions with paws bigger than any dog can show. Paws with long claws sheathed for action, even at the age of 4 months. But it takes the compétition of the wild to bring them to their best.” It might interest a trainer of human beings to know that a lion will eat 80 pounds of meat a day, if allowed to order his own meal. But in captivity he can do better on 12 or 14 pounds. The quantity of food depends more than a trifie on the quantity of exer- cise. An engine that is standing still doesn’t need so much coal.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, December 19.—The older handicap.horse was the “forgotten thoroughbred” dur- ing the 1934 racing season, but announcement of increased stakes New York State, gives promise that the 1935 race season will see lively competition in this division. The Belair Stud’s Faireno, which was entered in most major stakes for older horses this year, was able to garner only $27,160 to lead the money winners among the horses four years old and over. Gallant Sir, winner of the Agua Caliente Handicap, was sec- ond with $23,450. Dark Secret, before he broke down and was destroyed after winning the Jockey Club gold cup, won $19,505. Indian Runner won $16,185 and Clarify $15,115. My Dandy a Grand Old Man. HE mighty Equipoise, which start- I ed only a few times during the year, won approximately $15,- 000. W. C. Reichert’s My Dandy, one of the true veterans of the turf, as he is 9 years old and running almost entirely on nerve, proved he still is of handicap caliber by winning $11,590, to bring his life’s total winnings to approximately $150,000. The low values of handicap stakes in recent years have been a factor in the retirement of many leading thor- oughbreds to the stud after their 3- year-old campaigns. The boosts in stakes announced for next year are expected to induce owners to continue racing their stars. The winner of the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap in California two months hence will have a great start on the race for the 1935 money win- ning championship. Whether any other thoroughbred will succeed in winning enough of the smaller stakes to surpass that figure remains to ke seen. Equipoise will be retired after the Santa Anita race, but Twenty Grand, also in striking distance of Sun Beau'’s earning record, has been nominated for “several handicaps in the East, indicating he will continue campaign- ing if his comeback attempt is suc- cessful.
