Walker, GULLI SETS MARK N LOSING TITLE Makes Four Strikes in Row. Foul Drops First Prize for Edna Johnson. I3 ‘BY ROD THOMAS. RIUMPHANT in a double- header upset, J. M. Walker of the Takoma League and Mrs. George L. Isemann of the Washington Ladies’ League, won first prizes last night at the Lucky Strike in the finale of the seventh annual bowling tournament sponsored by ‘The Star. Among the last to roll, Walker, with & handicap of 20 pins, shot 692 to nose out Melvin B. Rock of Be- thesda, who grabbed the lead on the opening night. Mrs. Isemann, wife of the secretary of the National Duckpin Bowling Con- gress and long a leader of woman bowlers, rolled 598 with a handicap of 50 sticks. Get Fat Prize. ACH will receive $50 in cash and a gold medal. Rock gathered 689 maples, 53 of them franked, to take the second man’s prize of $40, and C. A. Robinette of the Electrical League, with 40—681, ‘was third, collecting $30. Mrs. Isemann’s husband was a close fourth, with 25—676. Her victory was & popular one, but sharing honors with her was the defending champion, Lor- raine Gulli, who scored 597 for sec- ond place from scratch, and estab- lished what is believed to be a record for women by making four strikes in & row. Her ace streak started in the second box of the third string, in which she gathered 162 sticks for the high scratch game in the woman's division. Loses Tourney on Foul. OING into the last frame she needed a mark and seven pins to win. She made a strike as a capacity gallery leaped to its feet. But the duckpin queen was able to count only five and lost by one pin, being tied for second place with Edna Johnson of the Eastern Star League, ‘who had 45 free pins. Mrs. Johnson would have won the tournament, but for a foul on a spare in the fourth game, on which she lost eight pins. A bit of chalk on her shoes caused her to stumble and cross the foul line.

BRI o3 Mrs. Isem Big Sports Week Here. O’Briens May Snare More Net Aces. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. ASHINGTON'S annual post- ‘Yuletide sports famine ends 1 this week. Once again there will be a return of plenty, and be ya collegiate fan or pro, you'll get a glimpse of just about everything except Bucky Harris man- aging the Nationals and Tuffy Lee- mans toting a pigskin. What promises to be one of the most interesting public high basket ball series in years begins Friday. Maryland and Catholic University open their boxing seasons, marked by schedules which may cut a financial furrow deep into the professional ring sport. Local college and scholastic basket ball teams will play nearly 50 games, with 12 of the collegiate variety listed for local floors. City College of New York, one of the country’s greatest, will be among the visiting contingent. Professional fisticuffing returns after an absence of three weeks. If you like your pro rassling, Daddy Joe Turner will uncrate George Zaharias and Don George and sic 'em on each other. Even some collegiate wrestling will be perpetrated. All in all, it should be quite a week, tough on the bank roll or the will power, but quite a week. - IDICULOUS,” chimed Helen Ja- cobs and Eileen Bennett Whit- tingstall, and “nix” responded Fred Perry, answering Mr. William J. O'Brien’s announcement that in the future they will be compensated in real money for their tennis strokes. But in spite of the fact that the nays seem to have it, we wouldn’t be too sure Queen Helen, handsome Eileen and the talented Perry will remain amachoors. This observation is based on Mr. O'Brien’s latest net exhibit, which is to go on display in the Catholic Uni- versity gymnasium Friday, when a troup including Bill Tilden, George Lott, Lester Stoeffen and Ellsworth Vines stops off. If Mr. O'Brien can induce Lott to meet Tilden—Friday’s star sin- gles attraction—he can induce Huey Long to make up with Biff Jones, get Buddy Baer to stop knocking over palookas and fight Joe Louis, and sell electric re- frigerators to Eskimos. What a Big Heart, Bill! YSCHOLOGY is the chief reason for his success, confides Mr. O’Brien, who will break down arcd modestly explain how the erst- while bitter enemies, Tilden and Lott, were brought to terms. It was only a few weeks ago that Lott penned his name to a contract. Willyam, to assure himself that all would turn out aright, ‘phoned Til- den, who was abroad at the time, according to the story. But instead of telling Tilden that Lott had al- ready signed, O'Brien merely stated he was making overtures to Georgie. “Play with Lott?” Tilden is said to have indignantly inquired. “Nothing doing.” Mr. O'Brien is said to have pon- dered a moment and then diplomati- cally brought his psychology into play. “Okay, Bill,” from this side of the |k Atlantic, “I just thought you could make up and play together. I hate|ger, to disappoint Lott, though. I offered him a nice hunk of cash.” ‘This is said to have registered with the temperamental W. Tatem, who hates to see anybody lose money, even if he be an enemy. “Well, since you put it that way,” Big Bill replied, “I guess you better go through with it. Let me know what you do.” Jubilantly O'Brien hung up the re- ceiver; discreetly he waited before calling Tilden again and informing Bill he had decided not to disappoint Lott—that he had just signed him with Tilden’s gracious consent. e RS Oh B oD b b SBRBEI oS ERF e oS e B e R e F e TRl Pl gigtet g eroptotu et 338355 23!

C, ann Pin Tourney Victors : Allison Gets Top Net Ranking < COLONIAL QUINTET BEATEN BY DRAKE Badly Off Form in 40-to-35 Upset—McCloud Shines for Invaders. UTSPEEDING and ‘outsmart- ing their rangjer foemen, Drake University’s agile Bulldogs scored the most stunning basket ball upset of Wash- ington’s embryoic season last night as they capped an otherwise dolorous 3,000-mile tour in the Tech High gymnasium with a 40-to-35 victory over George Washington. Led by a diminutive forward, Billy McCloud, the Iowans took the play away from the highly fayored Co- lonials, fought off a desperate late rally, and coasted to victory as Mc- Cloud wound up a brilliant perform- ance by sinking two heart-breaking fleld goals to bring his total to 17 points. ‘The visitors, delaying the game nearly half an hour as they rolled in from New York in automobiles, apparently were none the worse for wear. Whipped in five of their six previous barnstorming starts, the Bulldogs leaped away to a 12-to-1 lead, with McCloud, easily the out- standing performer to invade this season, contributing eight of the points. G. W. Plays Poorly. (HE Colonials, visibly off form, ex- hibited some of their best play of the night as they rallied to make it only 12-9, but the spurt fell short at half-time and the visitors were out in front by a 21-to-16 count. The Colonials were a more for- midable band in the second half, de- spite the failure of Capt. Jimmy Howell and Hal Kiesel to play up to anything resembling their usual form. Milt Schonfeld, tiny Colonial guard, dropped in a pair of double-deckers and Henry Ruley contributed an- other to offset a two-pointer by Mc- Cloud and a foul apiece by Parisho and Chuck Orebaugh, and bring the score up to 22 to 25. The visitors temporarily drowned George Washington hopes with a spurt to 30 points, while the Colonials’ total remained 22, but with Ben Gold- fadden and Ruley finding the hoop, the locel collegians drew up to within two points, 33 to 35. Finish Excites Crowd. HE crowd of upward of 1,000, sensing a last-minute victory, was in an uproar as Coach Roland Logan again inserted Howell after removing him earlier in the con- test. It was to no avail, however. McCloud, with less than two minutes to play, dropped in his eighth field goal, plus a foul, with Wayne Xander contributing the other two points for a total of 40, more than offsetting a two-pointer by Goldfadden and a free throw by Walter Bakum. The defeat was George Washington's second in six starts.- Summary: . G. W. (35) Q S McCloud.f.. 2 Smith, oMo [ 35 T half—Drake. Referees—J.

Jacobs Resists Boosted Net Bid By the Assoclated Press. ONDON, January 5.—In receipt of a new offer to turn profes- sional, Helen Jacobs, United States amateur tennis champion, today said she expected to remain in the amateur ranks, at least through 1935. The new offer from Bill O'Brien, New York promoter, was “con- siderably higher,” she said, than the one she received yesterday and declined. “I haven't answered the latest cable yet,” she said, “but my an- swer probably will be the same. But I want to do some thinking before replying.” Then she added: “But it's fairly definite I shan't accept.” She said her 1935 program, in- cluding defense of her American title, already was laid out and she expected to complete it. Shortage of Funds Threatens National Golf, Jagques, Retiring President, Warns U. S. G. 4. BY BOB CAVAGNARO. Associated Press Sports Writer, EW YORK, January 5.—While the United States Golf Asso- ciation closed the year 1934 with a balance of $4,649, Her- bert Jaques of Boston, the retiring president, today warned the annual meeting that unless the association’s club membership roster is' increased during the current year continued cur- tailment of activities will be n 5 Jaques closed out 10 years with the association, the last two as its chief executive, turning the gavel over to Prescott S. Bush of Greenwich, Conn. Bush, along with other officers and members of the Executive and Nom- inating Committees, was unanimously elected on one ballot cast by the sec- retary. Harkening back to the days of 1929 when the U. 8. G. A. had 1,129 clubs on its roster, Jaques disclosed that the present sald 65 clubs resigned last year, membership is only 839, and § “Of necessity this diminishing mem- bership has forced a curtailment of activities,” he said, “and unless the membership is increased curtailment must continue.” Jaques announced that the 18-hole matches in connection with the wom- en's national championship at Inter- lachen, Minneapolis, next August, would be held in the afternoons of the four days they run, instead of the mornings, to attract larger galleries. He delivered eulogies of the late Ganson Depew of Buffalo, chairman of the Greens and Public Links Com- mittees for many years, and Thomas J. McMahon, retired on a pension after 30 years with the U. 8. G. A, the last 12 as executive . McMahon was succeeded as execu- tive secretary by Joe Dey, jr., of Phila- delphia, former newspaper man, al- though he will remain in the associa- tion's New York offices for several months in an advisory capacity. ‘When the meeting was opened for ussion, Ernest S. Powell, and Country Club and of the Minne- sota State Golf Association, filed a bid for the 1936 Walker Cup matches to be held at the St. Paul club. Bush responded that no decision has been made by the Executive Committee, but intimated that since the 1832 matches were held in the East, some Midwest club would be given the as- signment next year. The complete slate of officers and committee members elected follows: President, Prescott S. Bush; vice presidents, A. M. Reid and John G. Jackson; secretary, Frank M. Hardt; treasurer, Harold W. Pierce; counsel, Morton G. Bogue. Executive Committee: George W. Blossom, jr., Prescott S. Bush, Ed- ward L. Cheney, Charles L. Dexter, H. Chandler Egan, Paul P. Farrens, Perry E. Hall, Frank M.

EW YORK, January 5—By grace of a free throw with less than a minute to go, New York University preserved its two- season basket ball winning streak against the rush of the Kentucky Wildcats, 23 to 22, before 16,539 fans in Madison Square Garden tonight. The House was kept in an al- most continuous uproar as two of the country's best college quintets put on a real thriller. When Guard Sid Gross, who had led the score at 22-all a mo- ment before by digging the ball out of amid scramble and drib- bling in for a set-up shot, dropped in the winning one-pointer, it marked the first time New York U. had led the visitors since the fourteenth minute of the first half, MISSOURI TO DROP NOTRE DAME STYLE| Faurot, New Coach at Alma Mater, Plans to Meld Warner and Henry Methods. By the Associated Press. OLUMBIA, Mo., January 5.—Don . Faurot, master of arts, has been called in as doctor of foot ball by his ailing alma mater, University of Missouri, and already has com- pleted the diagnosis. The 32-year-old, soft-spoken, all- around athlete believes the remedy lies in a numerically large squad, a veniatile attack, thorough knowledge of e fundamentals and an inspec- tion of Bernie Bierman’s Minnesota foct ball. Coming here this week after a successful nine-year term as athletic director of the Northeast Missouri Teachers College at Kirksville, Faurot stepped immediately into shoes va- cated by Frank Carideo. He will scrap the Notre Dame sys- tem established here three years ago by Carideo. He will use selected fea- tures of the Warner system and the nondescript but highly effective meas- ures he learned while playing for Gwinn Henry, Carideo’s predecessor. “The first problem of any coach,” he says, “is to build a defense strong enough to take the ball away from the other team. If he can do that, he should be able to teach an at- tack varied enough to bring results.” TIGERS WILL TEST REDS Series of 13 “Grapefruit League” Games Is Arranged.

With the same relentless stride that carried him over a mile in 4:08.4 on the Madison Square Garden banked track and 4:06.7 over the cinder track at Princeton to establish new world marks last year, Cunningham stepped to the front one and a half laps from the finish and then staved off the brilliant stretch challenge of Venzke.

BY BOB CAVAGNARO, Associated Press Sports Writer, EW YORK, January 5.—Wilmer L. Allison of Austin, Tex., “the man who wasn't wanted” last year on the Davis Cup team, today was placed at the head of America’s 1934 “first 10” tennis players by the United States Lawn Tennie Association, which included two professionals in the select group for the first time. While Allison’s selection for top honors was a reward for his remark- able showing in the 1934 champion- ship final against Fred Perry of England, after he had been hastily summoned to England for Davis Cup duty only upon arrival to be told he wasn't wanted, the tennis fathers were oblidged, by their own rule, to rank Lester Rollo Stoefen and George Martin Lott, jr. doubles champions, who recently turned pro, placing them at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively. They also retained their ranking as the top doubles team. Guided by a rule which specifies that a player who still is an amateur on October 15, when the date for ranking consideration expires, is en- titled to ranking, Walter Merrill Hall, president of the U. S. L. T. A., said: Richards Was Ignored. N ALMOST similar situation de- A veloped in 1926 when Vincent Richards turned to the com- mercial field, but the U. S. L. T. A. did not rank him for that year be- cause he had joined C. C. Pyle's barn- storming troupe with Suzanne Lenglen on October 1. For the third consecutive year Helen Hull Jacobs of Berkeley, Calif., was placed at the top of the women's “first 10.” Miss Jacobs has won the cham- pionship for three consecutive years. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Brookline, Mass., who was a finalist in the 1934 championship, was ranked second, and Carolin Babcock of Los Angeles was | placed at No. 3. Allison’s choice marks a promotion for the agile Texan, who was ranked No. 2 for the past two years, and makes the seventh consecutive year he has been placed in the first 10. Were {is not for the omission of Lott's name from the front ranks in 1932, his choice this year would have made it nine straight for the veteran Chi- cagoan. Second place was awarded to Sid- ney B. Wood, jr., of New York, gen- srally recognized as the country’s fore- most singles player, while Frank X. Shields, who topped the list last year and two months ago launched a career in motion pictures, dropped to No. 3 Parker Is Advanced. ROM there on the list is barely recognizable from last year's ranking. although only two of the 1933 names are missing. Gregory S. Mangin of Newark, N. J., twice for- mer indoor champion, dropped from No. 5 to No. 13, and Keith Gledhill of Santa Barbara, Calif., No. 9 last year, was omitted because he turned pro last Summer. - Frankie Pasker, the Lawrenceville, N.
