SPORT THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO C! M(TNDAY! DECEMBER 24, 1934.» SPngS ; A N. C. A. A. May Formulate Code on Recruiting and Subsidizing of Athletes < FOUR BODIES JOIN IN'TACKLING EVIL Coaches May Urge Opening Up of Game—Pro Pass Rule Suggested. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, December 24.—A N code on the ever-present sub- ject of recruiting and sub- sidizing of college athletes, especially foot ball players, may be adopted by the National Collegiate A. A, at its annual sessions this week. Prof. Z. G. Clevenger of Indiana, appointed chairman of a special com- mittee to study the subject at last year's convention, will conduct a round-table discussion on Thursday which the N. C. A. A, hopes will lead to the adoption of a code directed at | the elimination of these twin ath- letic evils. Meeting in joint session with the N. C. A. A. from Wednesday to Satur- day will be the American Foot Ball Coaches’ Association, the College Phy- sical Educatlon Association and the American Student Health Association. It marks the first time in history these four associations have merged their deliberations, thus avoiding the program conflicts that used to prevail. Committee Reports Friday. HE National Foot Ball Rules Com- ' mittee, through its chairman, Walter Okeson, will make its an- nual report on Priday and perhaps Indicate what, if any, changes need to be made in the code for next year. Although there was general satis- faction with the manner in which the rules operated during the season just closed, the coaches may decide to Tecommend a further opening up of the game through a liberalization of the rules controlling the use of the forward and lateral pass. Several leading coaches have suggested the adoption of the professional rule which permits forward passing from any point behind the line of scrimmage, DRIVE MINIMZED IN Y SPADEN WIN Sacrifices Distance for Ac- curacy to Capture Pasa- dena Open. By the Associated Press. ASADENA, Calif., December 24. —Because he discovered clubs in his golf bags more valuable than his driver, Harold Mc- Spaden was wealthier by $1,000 today. He won that much money yesterday through a fine display of iron shots in 172 holes of play in the seventh annual Pasadena open golf tournament. The sturdy 26-year-old Kansas City, Kans., professional put together cards of 70—87—71—73 for a 281 total, five| strokes better than his closest rivals and three blows under par. “I'm no longer trying for those booming drives I used to get,” said the Kansan. “I found out a year ago it was getting me no place. Accuracy is my motto now instead of distance. And I find my irons also are working better.” Tied for Second Place. IVE strokes back were Dick Metz, young Chicago pro, and Ted Longworth, Portland, Oreg., players, with cards of 286 and $500 prize money each. Fourth place, with $350 in cash as the reward, went to Vic Ghezzi, Deal, N. J., with a 287 total. McSpaden took 39 strokes on the final nine after besting par by seven strokes through 63 holes. But the Ppressure was too much for the youth. Even pars going to the sixteenth, his drive caught a trap and he wound | up with a 5 on the short par 4 hole. The seventeenth, which he twice had birdied with 2s, saw him trapped again and another bogie was the result. ‘Then, on the eighteenth, he 3-putted from 8 fect for a 5. Five players tied for fifth place with 8 288 score to win $210 each. They BATTLES of the CENTURIES Here is another of a series of articles depicting the great fights and fighters of the days when pugi=- lism was young. BY TOM HENRY. HE epochal second battle be- I tween Crib and Molineux was fought on September 28, 1811, | at Thistledon Gap, where the three counties of Leicester- shire, Lincoln and Rutland join. It was England against America, white against black. For days before the battle every available lodging for 20 miles around had been hired. At sunrise of the day there was no stand- ing room in tle field surrounding the ring, although the fighters were not to appear until noon. At least a fourth of the crowd of 15,000 that milled around the 25-foot stage built on a stubble ground were of the nobility. Both men entered the ring looking pale and tired. Molineux also had lost weight, due to the hardships of the barnstorming tour. Crib was a six-to-four favorite. In the first round, after an exchange of four hard blows, he knocked the Negro down with a hard punch to the throat. In the sec- ond, however, blood began to trickle from Crib’s mouth. “First blood” was significant in such a battle, and many bets depended upon it. Then Crib was “wrestled down.” The odds dropped. There followed & round of furious fighting. Molineux concen- trated on head punches. He closed Crib’s right eye. The Englishman, meanwhile, got in some hard blows to the stomach. Barclay, his mentor, rightly deduced that the Negro's weak- ness lay in his “wind.” Molineux end- ed the round by his old trick of grab- bing Crib around the body with one arm, while he supported himself with the other resting against the railing of the stage, and gave his opponent a rapid “flipping.” Molineaux Loses Control. [N THE fourth round, Crib's face was bloody, but he came to the scratch with a smile. Molineaux was panting. He knocked the Eng- lishman down with a light blow. Crib | claimed a foul in the fiftis when the Negro hit him a hard blow as he was falling. He was overruled. The tide of battle began te turn in the sixth. Crib doubled up Molineaux with a solar-plexus punch. The Negro lost his self-control. “He capered around like a dancing master, hitting short and wild.” Crib followed him and sent him to the floor with a blow de- livered almost at full arm’s length. Molineaux “fell from weakness” in the seventh, after taking five or six hard punches on the jugular vein. In the eighth, the Englishman caught the Negro’s head under his arm and pounded his face. In the ninth, Crib delivered a punch which broke Molineaux's jaw. He fell like a log and could not get up within the re- quired 30 seconds. But the cham- pion of England was thirsty for blood. He refused to claim the victory, but “danced a hornpipe around the stage” | until the Negrp could struggle to his feet. Molineaux was able to stagger from his second’s knee for the tenth were MacDonald Smith, Los Angeles; | round, but, before a blow had been Willie Goggin, San Francisco; Horton | Smith, Oak Park, Ill.; Ralph G. Uldahl, | Los Angeles, and Jimmy Hines, Long | Island. struck, he fell from weakness. The fight ended in the eleventh. Crib knocked the Negro down and he could not rise.

Macfarland captured the junior high title. Park View took the elementary school crown and in interplayground soccer, Rose- dale won the insect title and Virginia avenue the midget championship. ‘There was more than usual interest in field hockey here among women. The Southeast sectional tourney was held Here, with teams from New Jer- sey, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Vir- ginia vieing with the Washington group. Jennie Turnbull, Washington Field Hockey Association player, was chosen s member of the Southeast Reserves, who shone in the national tourney held at Newtonville, Mass. A hockey play-day program was held at Ameri- can University with six teams of this section competing and with the Uni- versity of Maryland team emerging the victor. Polo Has Big Year. HERE was decidedly more polo than in recent years with the big feature of the season the international series between the United States and Mexican Army teams in Potomac Park. The U. S. malletmen won all three matches. There were other inierest contests one of which brought the dashing young horsemen of Penn Military College here. The . |and captured the championship tourney, Jack Schwartz of the Jewish Community Center won the singles title and Joe Crowley and Channing Walker of the Central Y captured the doubles. Boys and girls who took part in Municipal Playground Department sponsored competition had a big year. Virginia Avenue's team won the boy's interplayground track meet. Adams took the elemen- tary school meet. Sherwood tri- umphed in the girls’ competition. Nathan Ritzenberg and his brother Albert of Cooke took the senior and junior singles titles, respectively, in tennis. Helen Orme and Lucille Mc- Dowell of Burroughs won the girls’ doubles title, the only championship at stake among the fair racketers. Wins Cycling Title. ALPH JACKSON won the senior R cycling title of the District, breaking the seven-year reign of Ed Bieber. Jackson triumphed in three out of four races, scoring 19 points to 12 for Bieber. Butch Ken- non gained the junior championship. Central Y. M. C. A. had a fencing team, which engaged in some matches, and the Washington Y. W. C. A. also was active in this sport. W. O. Robinson won the annual championship tourney of the Potomac Archers and Mrs. Josephine Taylor again demonstrated her superiority in archery among women of this section. Robinson and Mrs. Taylor won other archery laurels. In soft ball there was considerable activity. Naval Air Station’s team won the Capital Cl:.:yu, mt ip series. There were other soft ball leagues.

Make Up Grudge. HE Negro had fallen so hard his impact with the floor was heard -to the edges of the crowd. He lay at full length. A London surgeon leaped into the ring with his scalpel and proceeded to “bleed” the uncon- scious fighter. The man had a broken jaw and two broken ribs. He was taken to an inn nearby, where he lay at the point of death for several days. One of the earliest to call upon him was Crib, and the two seemed to have patched up their enmity, for, a few months later, Molineaux, completely recovered, boxed at Crib's benefit in London. Crib himself was badly battered and nearly blind. His victory brought him even greater reward than the 400 pounds and the applause of all Eng- land—freedom from the discipline of Barclay. Immediately after the fight he broke training at the Bull-on- Witham Common. Crib had a triumphal journey back to London in a “barouche and four horses decorated with blue ribbons. His reception along the road was as great as any gallant officer would have received bearing the narrative of any gallant exploit against a foreign enemy.” London streets were blocked with crowds as his equipage passed through. Back home, the triumphant fighter, with two black eyes, held a reception in the coal shed in the rear of his house. Some time before he had set up in the coal business. Trainer Clajms Credit. HE real credit for the victory was claimed by Barclay. He won & bet of £10,000. The Scotsman called attention to the fact that, just before the fight, Crib, under his orders, had partaken of only two boiled eggs, while the Negro had “bolted a roast chicken, an apple pie and a tankard of beer.” Crib was England’s hero. The giant Gregson, now retired from the ring and a respectable tavern keeper and poet, wrote odes in his honor. A coat of arms was struck for him, repre- senting the triumph of England over America. He was made president of the Pugilists’ Club. with drink, and, a few years later, died in Ireland. (Copyright. 1934, by the North American Newspaper Alliance.

OWA CITY, Iowa.—His time has been bettered in three instances, but Charles Brookins, former Uni- versity of Iowa athlcte, after 10 years still holds the world's record for the | 220-yard low hurdles. It was in 1924 that Brookins flashed across the finish line in :23. Recently it was belleved that Glen Hardin of Louisiana State ran the distance in :22.7 in the N. C. A. A. at Los Angeles, but his time was revised to :23.16 by the photographic timing device. ‘The first runner to better Brookins’ record was Dick Rockaway of Ohio State with a :22.8 in 1929, but his time was not counted because he used starting blocks which are not approved by the International Athletic Federa- tion. Hardin turned in a time of :229 over the same route last year, but was hot given a record because of the use of starting blocks. Jack Keller of Ohio State tried to | beat the jinx in 1932 when he was | timed in :22.7 in the N. C. A. A. meet, | but the officials ruled out the race be- cause of a favoring wind. Glory Once Main Athletic Spoils By the Assoclated Press. 'HAMPAIGN, Il—Time was when an athlete would give his all for the University of Illinois to win a photograph of the fa- culty—or a shoe-blacking kit. That’s on the authority of George Huff, director of athletics at the university, and he only went as far back as the “gay 90's” to prove his statement. To the winner of the 100-yard dash in those stirring years went the shoe-blacking kit, while the man in second place had to content himself with a book of poems.

THLETICS of the suburbs had an eventful and interesting year. ‘There was plenty of fine competition in ell the territory adjoining the District. Honors were well divided in school- boy sports in Prince Georges County. Maryland Park won the base ball championship, Mount Rainier the basket ball title, Upper Marlboro the soccer crown and Hyattsville High again cleaned up in the track meet. Mount Rainier fought to the West- ern Shore final in the State cham- plonship basket ball series, being eliminated by Allegany High. The Mounts also went to the final in ‘The Star's annual metropolitan dis- trict basket ball play-off, bowing to Eastern. Bethesda-Chevy Chase High, after winning the Montgomery County court crown, waged e game but los- ing fight against Mount Rainier in The Star’s tourney, losing by 46-26. Bethesda-Chevy Chase won the Mont- gomery County senior and junior class track meet. Gaithersburg High was the county soccer champion. There was no base ball title series in Montgomery. Alexandria High Leads, " A LEXANDRIA HIGH again had the most impressive record in the nearby Virginia schoolboy whirl. ‘The Twins won third district honors in basket ball, base ball and foot ball. One of their basket ball players, Hal Chilcotte, made the all-State scho- lastic quint. In base ball and foot ball Alexandria was unusually strong, doubtless having the best teams in its history. Alexandria Fraters captured the Northern Virginia semi-pro foot ball championship. St. Mary's Celtics dominated in semi-pro base ball around Alexandria. In the Commer- cial Base Ball League, an amateur loop, the Police nine was victorious. Old Dominion Boat Club took Alex- andria unlimited basket ball honors. Virginia A. C. gained the city senior class foot ball crown, while 115- pound honors fell to the Pirate Midgets. MAX STAKES TITLE IN 4ROUND SCRAP Champ Boastful, Levinsky’s Silence Over Bout May Prove Ominous. By the Assoclated Press, EW YORK, December 24.— Max Baer, in person, pumps some extra life into the na- tional boxing industry this week. The gay champion fights a four- round bout with King Levinsky, Chi- cago's rough-and-tumble clown, as the feature of an all-star card at the Chicago Stadium Friday night. It is not an exhibition and Baer's | title will be at stake. He and Levinsky have tangled twice before, with neither able to inflict much damage in 10 rounds at Chicago or 20 at Reno. Baer insists he’ll send the King to the showers early this time. The usually talkative Levinsky is saying nothing, an ominous sign perhaps. Max’s younger and bigger brother, Buddy, is slated for a four-rounder with Gene Stanton on the same card. Otherwise, a heavyweight match be- tween Johnny Risko, Cleveland vet- | eran, and Charley Retzlaff of Duluth, at Minneapolis Friday night, is the only other important bout on the week's card. GRADUATION TAKES PITT GRIDIRON ACES zenr Weinstock, Munjas, Nicksick and g All Except One Regular in Line to Be Lost. RADUATION will take many stars from Pittsburgh's foot ball squad next June. Many of the men who played leading roles on the Panther elevens of the past three years wound up their collegiate grid- iron careers against Carnegie Tech on Thanksgiving day. More than any, perhaps, Coach Jock Sutherland will miss Capt. Charles Hartwig and Ken Ormiston, stalwart guards, who were the backbone of Pitt’s rugged line during the past cam- paign. This duo ranks among the best of many great line men developed at Pitt. ‘The Panther forward wall will be almost completely wrecked by gradu- ation, for, in addition to Hartwig and Ormiston, George Shotwell, center; Robert Hoel and Stanley Olejniczak, tackles, and Harvey Rooker, end, will be lost.

Lion Quarter’s Mistake Wins Sends Plays at Wrong Tackle, but Dartmouth ; Is Well Trimmed by Columbia. By the Associated Press. OU LITTLE'S choice of a great quarterback strategist always has been Ralph Hewitt, fine runner and marvelous drop-kicker. There was a day in 1931 when Little, just building at Columbia for ‘he lushyears that have fol- lowed, was ready to toss the cloak of absolute genius about the rugged youngster from Lawrence, Mass. All season long Columbia had planned for the first major victory under Little’s regime and Dartmouth had been picked as the victim. Columbia hadn't beaten Dartmouth since 1895. Scouts had told Lou that Dart- mouth had one great tackle, one that wasn't so strong, and Little had ouilt his entire offense for that game on plays that ran through 20 Years Ago IN THE STAR. HERWOOD MAGEE, hard-hit- ting outfielder of the Phila- delphia National League Club, has been traded to the Boston Na- tionals for cash and some piayers.

It gained. Columbia rolled on and on through the game, over the big tackle, to a sweet 19-6 victory.

To think you should find a weakness out there, capitalize it, when the scouts, when every one told me—." Hewitt blushed and hesitated. “To tell the truth, coach,” he finally admitted, “I called the first play to the wrong side by mistake. Then I didn't dare stop.

In fresh-water streams the decision of the various fish commissions of nearby States to plant only adult fish was & great thing for the native brook trout and bass anglers. In salt water the return of eel grass and the aboli- tion of the purse netters was a great help. As has been the case for many years past fresh-water anglers were handicapped by the muddy condition of streams during’ the Spring and Summer. In salt water many thun- der storms and strong winds played havoc with the aspirations of the angler for a large part of the season. Good Most All Season. OWEVER, there hardly is a fish- erman who did not hook more and larger fish the past sea- son. At the start of the season, for & short time, many good size white perch were caught in the swift waters around Chain Bridge. The run of herring, usually enjoyed by fishermen, many of them coming down from Upper Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia, was a disappointment, and the shad caught in the Potomac last year were few and far between. When the hardhead or croakers made their appearance in Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in May it was just a question of how many the anglers desired to bring home. Un- usually large catches were reported from all sections and the fish kept up & uniformly large size during the entire season. More and larger weakfish or sea trout appeared than for years past Some of these gamesters weighed 8 and 9 pounds, and a catch of 100 or more was no exception. Blue Fish Plentiful. ‘The blue fish, that tiger of the sea, appeared in large numbers and great- er weight in Chesapeake Bay. A 3- pound blue is a nice fish, but some weighing as much as 13 pounds were landed and large numbers weighing from 6 to 9 pounds were caught al- most every day. In the Lower Potomac fishing for all the different species was exceptional- ly fine, hardhead, trout, blues and even an occasional channel bass being landed. The rockfish, or striped bass, furnished wonderful sport off Piney Point and Tall Timbers. A greater variety of fish were and was captured by several anglers above Annapolis. 50000 DUE TO SEE SANTAANITASTART Time Supply Assigned Top Weight of 126 in Fea- ture Tomorrow.
