But while the triumph con- vinced Bergman, once and for all, that he is piloting his greatest Card- inal contingent, it also smashed one illusion that possibly may lead toward disaster That illusion concerned St. Mary's. The game was supposed to be a *breather” for way back when he was drawing up his schedule Bergman knew he had a good team coming up.

A. U. President, Attacks Gen. Sherrill, Nazis in Air Talk. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 26.— American participation in the Olympic games continued to- day to be the crux of acrid debate. Jeremiah T. Mahoney, president of the American Amateur Athletic Un- ion who recently declared Dr. The- | odor Lewald, president of the German | Olympic Committee, was being used | as & “screen” by the German gov- | ernment, attacked last night the prin- ciples of Nazism in general and Gen. Charles Sherrill in particular. | “I am talking as an individual and | not as president of the A. A. U.” he | said in a radio talk, “but my hear | is in this cause because I know it has | the better of the moral issue involved. | It is not a question of race or religion | any more, or a question of athletics. “It is a question of whether we shall lend help and indorsement and ap- | proval to the Nazi government that knows not the rules of sport or fair play, but which in sport as well as in all other activities and functions of life, resorts to force and oppression and persecution to accomplish its | wicked ends.” | Gen. Sherrill, who recently returned from Germany, broached the possi- | bility of anti-Semitic trouble here as |a result of the opposition to Ameri- | can participation. Attacks Sherrill Personally. HE CONTENDE hat if the 500,000 Americans in training for possible places on Olympic teams suddenly be- | came aware of efforts to thwart thewr desires, they might instigate anti- Semitic trouble that would last for years. Referring to this, Mahoney said: | “No real friend of the Jews of this country would attempt to silence any self-respecting Jew by proclaiming | | that an American protest against con- ditions in Germany might create an nti-Semitic movement here. “Such a statement is cowardly and |is made merely to intimidate the | courageous, fearless, liberty-loving Jews living in our midst, and they will not believe for a moment that any- body who can make such a threat in such an insinuating and insidious manner could be really and honestly a friend of the Jews.

You'll hear more and more from Oklahoma in seasons to come. I asked Biff to name some of the star plays and big days of foot ball via the query and answer route. The summary follows: Question—What was the most per- fectly thrown forward pass you ever saw? Capt. Jones—The 50-yard shot, Mickal to Sullivan, completed against Southern Methodist_in the L. S. U.- S. M. U. night gamé last Fall. Standing on his own 20-yard line, Mickal laid the ball on the tips of Sullivan’s fingers as Sullivan was crossing the S. M. U. 30-yard line in top stride. I also say this was the most per- fectly timed pass I ever saw because Sullivan was hit in full stride, which is extremely difficult to do from a distance of 50 yards. Question—What are the chief quali- ties that make a great forward passer? Capt. Jones—Such a player must be able to lay out a light feathery ball to meet the receiver traveling at full speed. Any other kind of pass will not function against a class A | foot ball team. A great passer must also be a keen judge of timing and distance, and be nimble-footed enough to evade any defense that may have got past his protection. A tall passer has a definite advantage. Not only can he pass over the heads of the rushing defense, but also he has a better view of his receivers in the defensive backfield. Question—Who are some of the finest forward passers you ever saw? Capt. Jones—Abe Mickal of Louisi- ana State, Swede Oberlander of Dart- mouth, 1925; Chris Cagle of Army, Barry Wood of Harvard, Vaughan of Tennessee, Vernon Pritchard of Army, 1913 and 1914, and the immortal George Gipp of Notre Dame. Question—What is the finest for- ward-passing team you ever saw over & span of a single season? Capt. Jones—' Dartmouth team of 1925, with' Oberlander doing the passing. Question—What coaches do you re- gard as outstanding in the fleld of the forward pass? Capt. Jones—Ray Morrison, Dan McGugin, Red Blaik of Dartmouth, Yost, Zuppke, Dorais and the late Knute Rocke. Question—What are the outstand- ing qualities of a great pass receiver? Capt. Jones—Speed, height, relaxa: tion at the moment of catch, ability to break away from the defensive back trying to cover him, and, most im- portant of all, confidence and deter- minatiou to get that ball. Question—Who are some of the best pass receivers you ever saw? Capt. Jones—Rockne and Dorais of Notre Dame in 1913 and Gene Vidal Military Academy *mfll. of Army from #916 on. Vidal, now | crotch cleared the Navy man's head | This may sound impossible, | but when you consider that Vidal ‘was an Olympic pentathlon star and a high jumper, its possi- bility must be recognized. ! Question—What is the finest for- | ward passing exhibition you ever saw | in a single game? | _ Capt. Jones—That Louisiana State- Southern Methodist game last year. | Both teams had excellent passers and receivers and were slinging them at | each other all night. This was par- ‘Ncullrly remarkable because the game was played at night, with a light dew covering the grass and leaving the ball not in the best shape for han- dling. Question—What passing game click? Capt. Jones—A running attack good enough to draw the defense up, |good protection for the passer, at |least two good receivers and a good passer (and this doesn't mean a | thrower), makes a great The New P.

His name was Johnny Revolta. He won the first big money tourna- ment of the year from a fast field. It ‘was supposed to be a fluke. He fin- ished first in his next start. There was no fluke about both strung up together. Only a few weeks ago, during the Ryder Cup matches, I asked Walter Hagen which of the younger golfers he picked to go farther along. “If T had to name one” Hagen said, “it would be Johnny Revolta. “He has a sound swing, he is a fine putter -and he has the temperament needed—the coolness and the concen- tration under pressure.” It was Revolta who turned back the crack fleld in the recent P. G. A. championship at Oklahoma City, taking over Paul Runyan's crown. ‘When you have plowed your way through a P. G. A. field you have turned in quite a job—one of the hardest in golf.
