Hanley never had heard of George Musso until the 250-pound Giant showed up and asked for a chance to play. That he had starred for James Milliken College was little or no recommendation, but once he went into action references entirely were unnecessary. Musso graduated from the all-stars to the Chicago Bears and quickly became & star in ghe professional league. Last Summer the discovery of the all-star game was “Tony” Blazine, s tackle from Illinois Wesleyan Col- lege. Throughout the rainy game on Soldier Field, “Tony” was about the best lineman the ex-collegians mus- | tered and he was snatched imme- diately by the Chicago Cardinals for professional purposes. This time it may be “Tuffy” Leemans who will steal the show. So far, he has flashed | more than the Berwangers, Craynes, Beises and other famous ball pack- ers. Your correspondent concedes the ex-collegians a very fine chance to whale the daylights—or nightlights, as it will be in this case—out of the professional champions. In the first of these games the All-Stars played the Chicago Bears to a scoreless tie and in the second lost to the same team by the margin of a safety and fleld goal. The 1934-35 All-Star squads did not have the power and balance of the current group and I doubt if they received the intensive coaching being given by Bierman, McMillin, Layden and Waldorf. Bierman Unbeaten Since "32. ERNIE BIERMAN has not sat on the losing side of a game since 1932 and has no idea of starting on the night of September 1—that might be a bad omen for the 1936 Minnesota team. Bernie is giving the All-Stars the same weapons his Gopher champions used for the last two years and it can be said that no college squad ever worked longer | Osc: or harder than this group. Bierman is the same stickler for detail that Knute Rockne was, stressing blocking, and particularly angle blocking, at all times. In less than a week of practice the All-Stars are showing about the same smoothness of attack you'll find a college team displaying in mid-October. ‘There are no more interested ob- servers of Bierman’s work than Lynn ‘Waldorf of Northwestern and Elmer Layden of Notre Dame. Waldorf is obliged to tackle Minnesota every sea- son and Layden will start in 1937. As Bierman's assistants for the All- | B Btar-Lion game, they are in a fine spot to learn what makes Minnesota click and the knowledge won't come amiss when they prepare to meet the Gophers. Col. Bo McMillin also is interested, but more fortunate than ‘Waldorf and Layden, McMillin does not have to play Minnesota, and that’s something to be thankful for. —_— | NAVY STARTS SEPT. 4 ANNAPOLIS, Md., August 21 (#).— Lieut.

A party| of Washington fishermen spent five days fishing from Moorehead last week for the rainbow of the fish world, but in the end they found more. sport in hooking the Kking mackeral, one of the fastest fish in the ocean—"lightning streak,” they call him in Florida. The fishermen’s catch included 20 dolphin, smaller than usual, weigh- ing from 12 to 16 pounds. But the king mackeral were something else again. “I've fished for them ever since I was a boy on the East Coast of Flor- ida,” said Prank M. Pratt, who was in the party, “but I've never seen kings like those fish Steve Spitz caught.” RATT insured his fame as a fisher- man around Moorehead a year ago by hooking the largest dol- phin ever caught outside Oregon In- let. It weighed 34 pounds 8 ounces and measured 4 feet 8 inches. Pratt had it stuffed, and now it's on exhi- bition at the Elks’ Lodge in Alex- andria, Va. The best he could do this year, how- ever, was 16 pounds 5 ounces. He and his friends trolled, using mullet for bait, from the boats of Capt. Bennett and Capt. Arthur Midgett, 46 miles off shore. The weather was perfect, not a rough day in the five, The dophin is notable for his sensa- tional changes of color. When he's landed, his tints turn from one hue to another in rapid, chameleon-like suc- cession. But, though he's a pretty fish, he's a fighter, too, purposes, the dolphin lurks near gulf weed or driftwood, where tiny min- nows hide. The hungry dolphin waits for these little fellows to leave their shadowy protection. He is an excel- lent food fish himself. Randall Reign neker (John_ Halestock. John Coates.

A. U. EW YORK, August 21.—Eleanor Holm Jarrett, who sailed for Germany last mcath merely one star athlete among a couple hundred bound for the Olym- pic games, came back yesterday a major celebrity. Mrs. Jarrett won no medals for swimming at Berlin, for she was dismissed from the team by the Olympic Committee for drinking champagne on the way over on the Maahattan and thereby publicly hu- miliated. But she had set tongues wagging and cables humming by her indig- nant rebuttals and her refusal to be sent home, She told reporters who met her as her ship came into harbor that she would apply for reinstatement in the A. A. U. since it was her desire to continue to swim as an amateur, that she would continue to drink cham- pagne because she likes it, that with her husband, Arthur Jarrett, she would make a theatrical tour of sev- eral cities in the East, beginning in Detroit a week from today, that she would not become a professional un- less she was forced out of the ama- teur ranks sad finally that she does not like Avery Brundage, president of the American Olympics Committee which suspended her. No Publicity of Committee. IN COMPLETE possession of herself after the first rush of eager ques- tions had been parried, she stead- fastly refused to be either lured or goaded into indulging in personalities against members of the committee. “That would be doing exactly what they want,” she said. “They want their names in the papers and I am not going to give them publicity if I can help it. “I only hope that when Mr. Brun- dage comes up the bay when he re- turns that he feels as good as I do now.” That appeared to close the discus- sion of the committee. The whole matter of Mrs. Jarrett's experiences as a reporter covering the games for & news agency and her | impressions and emotions while sit- | ting as a spectator at what would have been her third Olympics was left open for discussion, however, and when she finally rushed down the | gangplank into the arms of her mother she was tired and a little hysterical. On the six-day crossing of the Bremen Mrs. Jarrett had been a rather sedate young matron distinguishable from the average woman passenger only by the vividness of her person and the fact that she was a new celebrity. She and her husband kept quietly to themselves. She confined | her training activities to a daily work- | out in the gymnasium, a few games of | deck tennis, at which she repeatedly | | took the measure of her more robust but less agile husband, and an occa- sional glass of champagne. WHEN the sun was out she sat quietly in her deck chair and | during the voyage she read a book, “A ! Woman of Spain.” Each night she retired eafly, thereby disappointing about the largest passenger list the | Bremen has carried all year. The first night out passengers crowded into the bar, found Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett sitting in a corner with some persons they had known before coming aboard, and waited eagerly for the champagne to flow. When it was obvious that Mrs. Jarrett would take no more than a normal amount they went about their various activities and as the voyage wore on the whole ship came to know | that although the famous Mrs. Jarrett | was aboard she was doing her drink- | | ing quietly and openly and there would | be no champagne parties on the trip. | GARAGE NINE BOOKS.

TOCKHOLM, August 21.—Glenn Cunnirgham, second to Jack Lovelock in the Olympic 1,500~ meter run, bettered the listed world record for 800 meters when he was clocked in 1:49.7 in winning the event at an international track 1:49.8 is held jointly by Tom Hamp- the United States. John Powell of Great Britain was second in 1:50.8 and Mario Lanzi of Italy third in 1:51.4. Only an injury to Glenn Morris, Olympic decathlon winner, from Fort Collins, Colo.,, cost the Americans a chance to make a clean sweep. Morris hurt his leg in his second try at the broad jump and failed to place, while Dave Albritton, Ohio State high jump star, could not compete with the lead- ers in the long leap.

EVEN Bierman, who had consider- able in the way of talent at Tu- lane and has had it in lavish quan- tities at Minnesota since returning to his alma mater in 1932, has become almost hopeful watching the all-stars in practice. The Gopher coach, head of the all-star board of instruction, who does all his predicting after games, said: “We have a half dozen fellows for each position who could play on any college team. We keep making changes and each player is just as good as the man before him.” ‘Waldorf, whose Northwestern eleven probably will go to the post in the Big Ten race in the darkhorse posi- tion, still looked in wonderment at the mass of big, fast stars, even after eight days of work with them. “I've thought about a squad like this,” he said, “but I didn’t expect to see one. But, I have—and still am seeing it.” Layden Looks on Yearningly. AYDEN watched the centers and quarterbacks. His biggest prob- lems at Notre Dame this Fall will be the signal-calling and pivot jobs, and he yearningly watched his own Wally Fromhart, Riley Smith of Alabama, Stan Pincura of Ohio State and Glenn Seidel, quarterbacks, and such great centers as Darrell Lester, Texas Chris- tian's all-America star: Gomer Jones of Ohio State, Dale Rennebohm of Minnesota, Al Lind of Northwestern and Wagner Jorgensen of St. Mary's.
