- Barlund a Real Foreign Threat : Ahearn L FINN HARD HITTER " WITH EITHER HAND Louis Is Only Heavyweight Greatly Respected by Gunnar’s Handlers. BY JOHN LARDNER. EW YORK, December 7.—A heavyweight fighter you will hear a lot about these next few months is Gunnar Bar- lund, the forward Finn, and maybe it would be a good thing to make his acquaintance now. No fight observer likes to feel that he is going overboard on a foreign menace, forelgn menaces having been two pesos a bushel since the day Bom= PORTS. New A.A. U.Head bardier Billy Wells came over here from England with a glorious repu- tation and an Athenian torso, and promptly became very horizontal, striking a style note for British pugil- ism that still holds force from Ran- goon to Piccadilly. I can remember only three foreign heavyweight menaces who ever amounted to shucks. They were Max Bchmeling, Luis Angel Firpo and Paulino Uzcudun. I slip Paulino in merely because he was a tough man to beat.. He never accomplished much on the credit side of the ledger. Schmeling and Firpo each had some- thing—Schmeling a strong body and & cool fighting head, Firpo a charge of homicide in his mighty right arm. Calling the Roquefort Roll. ’I‘Bl rest of them—well, shed a tear for Jack Doyle, the Irish Oriole; Harry Persson, the convertible Dane; Vittorio Campolo, the tall tower of Andean Roquefort; Leon Ketchell, the Polish mastodon; Phil Scott, the swoong swan of Soho; Rob- erto Roberti, the Roman decliner and faller, and as many others as you ean think of. Primo Carnera did get %o be world’s chamrion and a pretty fair sort of boxer for his size, but Primo had no business in the ring. Or out of it. for that matter. This forward Finn, Gunnar Bar- Jund, may be different, and he may not be. I would hate to be caught calling him a coming champion. But he does look good, and until events prove otherwise I think you can des- jgnate the Gunnar as the best of the Tecent foreign menaces and a gen- tleman who might some day give Joe Louis some trouble. ‘The Finn is always moving forward. Me shuffies toward you on feet as flat as the great mesa, his prominent ears flapping gently in the breeze. His eyes, blue as a fish’s chest, do not seem %0 be looking at anything in particu- Jar. His torso is knobbly and his oropped head is built along the lines of a dum-dum bullet. HB GETS inside and flails your body, protecting himself so well | that he seldom takes a punch in re- | turn. Then perhaps he plays your chin for & while, until your body is open again. He has a high right gusrd and a hooking left. Once in a while he séerns to uncover and in- vite a blow to the head, but while you are getting set to throw it the Gunnar has shot a hard right to your own cranium and is all bundled up again, like a kid playing in the snow. The Gunnar, being a methodical fighter, seldom cuts loose until the closing rounds of the fight, unless he sees a sure-fire opening. But when he thinks he has his man taped and measured, he discards caution and be- gins hooking rapidly with both hands. His left hurts and his right appears 40 be anaesthetic. Frankie Connelly, | the big and game Bostonian whom the PFinn stopped in the ninth round at Uncle Mike Jacobs’ Hippodrome the other night, really went out like a taper when he caught one of those rights. He threshed around on the floor like a decapitated fowl until the boys in his corner dragged him away. A Rugged, Arctic Fellow. BARLUND is a Spartan soul. They feed him simple fodder and nour- ish his brain with a movie now and then. In Finland he was first a farmer and then a factory hand. He looks to be a cold, rugged, Arctic sort of fel- Jow. You can picture him trudging with great nonchalance through the Scandinavian snow and washing his face and hands with ice-cold fjord ‘water. He is managed by Mr. James Bron- #on, the celebrated wholesale importer of beef on the hoof, and Mr. Honest Paul Damski, the German expatriate, who also handles Walter Neusel and Erich Seelig. Pickings have been a trifie lean for Mr. Bronson and Mr. Damski of late, and the Gunnar looks %o them to be money in the bank. Mr. Damski, as I've said before, is & passionate student of the English language, which he now has adopted for his own. He likes to take pains with development of his fighters’ vo- cabularies. He teaches them English from the sports pages of American mewspapers, which is something like teaching mathematics from a stock broker's report. But he seems to get results. In no time at all he had Walter Neusel saying “Yanks cop flag” and “Bierman fears Purdue” with the best of them, though I am not positive that Herr Neusel knew what be was talking about. Doesn’t Fear Schmeling. GUNNAR BARLUND'S vocabulary 2 has not advanced very far as yet. He can say “Hallo, folks, I ween” and “eez-toff falla” and “ham sandwich.” That's enough for all practical pur- poses, though Mr. Damski plans to give him an extensive course of reading in the basket ball and hockey notes, pre- paratory to a crack at Shakespeare. ‘The Gunnar now seeks, through his sgents, & fight with Al Ettore, Leroy W JEREMIAH T.

BOWLING MOGULS UNITE ONTOURNEY Alley Men Meet Wednesday to Plan Entry Drive for Star’s Event. BY ROD THOMAS. ASHINGTON'S bowling alley proprietors and managers, who with officials of the ‘Washington City Duckpin Assoclation, the Washington Women's Duckpin Association and the National Duckpin Bowling Congress will com= prise a board of governors for The Star’s ninth annual Yuletide tourna- ment, will meet Wednesday at the Lucky Strike to go over plans for the big pin party before putting on an intensive drive for entries. With all alley friction wiped out by dhe new arrangement which permits every establishment to profit from the tournament exactly in accordance with its own enterprise, for once the business men of the game are heartily in back of the event and with all other bowling agencies as enthusiastic as ever over it, a record fleld appears inevitable, More Work for W C. D. A. THE Washington City Duckpin As- sociation will be called upon this time for more actual work than here- tofore. For one important item, it will be held responsible for the certi- fication of scores in the numerous roll-offs, one of which will be held at every pin plant. The clerical work will be many times as great as in past years, due to the fact that the final set, with mest of the $500 prize money at stake, will not be concentrated at one establishment. To keep the tournament under thorough control it will be necessary for the association and for the alley maragers to keep in close touch with the executive di- rector. Every alley man directly concerned is asked to attend the Wednesday meeting, scheduled for 11 am, or send a representative. Entry blanks will be distributed, in pads of 100, and each establishment will be allotted them according to its needs. Blakeney, Paccini Collect.

The game was nowhere near as close as the 14-t0-0 score might indicate. In all, it was quite a sight to see the Giants' monopely on the Eastern title finally broken. ® The rain never stopped pouring. At the half you hardly could see across the Polo Grounds, se dark was the day. At 3:25, Battles took the punt on his own 25-yard line and raced 75 yards to a touchdown, making it 13-0. A moment later he kicked the extra point. At 3:30, it was necessary to turn on the powerful arc lights. It anybody resembled a muddy ghost on the loose, it was Battles when he flashed on his 75-yard run just be- fore the lights were turned on. Haynes, or Buddy Baer, or all three . He may pay dividends.

THE SPORTLIGHT [PARKER PIPOVICH| FROM_ THE PRESS BOX Spirit Important Factor in Foot Ball Only When It Is Backed by Sound Game. BY GRANTLAND RICE. O8 ANGELES, Calif, December 7.~Foot ball still is & game in which inspiration is a big fac- tor. The players can be fired for & great effort on a given day, and, if their spirit is sufficiently robust, it will endure through 60 minutes of play in which they are likely to outdo| themselves. | But underlying that spirit must be: good physical condition and a lot of sound foot ball sense. Plus these two, spirit very often will make the differ- ence between the two contending teams. But not spirit alone, Not any more. The game has advanced to a point where a coach no longer can take a poorly equipped team, give it a fight talk and see it come through against a well drilled, physically fit team, which also has some spirit of its own. The will to die for dear old whoozs or the memory of a departed hero or even— as may be the case—for the coach's job, can be badly dented by a hard charging enemy line and a set of backs who know how to follow their blockers. Take the Harvard team that came up so strongly as the season moved along, recovering from a bad beating by Army and then going on ‘to tie Princeton and take Yale right down to the last gasp before the decision went to Kelley, Frank & Co. That Harvard team had plenty of spirit. But it also was a well coached team that matured under fire. Dick Harlow. one of the ablest coaches in the country, taught the boys a lot of first-rate foot ball. They couldn’t absorb it in a hurry, but, by hammering away at it, they finally got the hang of it. That was when they started to go places.. to do all the lead- smashes with Fordham's powerful for- to encounter the Pitt team this year on a day when the Panthers were keyed to their highest pitch. The week before, Pitt had lost to Duquesne, plunging the players and their coach, Jock Sutherland, into gloom so thick that it enveloped them for several days. They came out of that dismal cloud determined that they would not lose to Notre Dame, too. They—players and coach alike— felt they had to vindicate themselves. They did. They defeated Notre Dame, 26 to 0. There was more than the will to win, important as that was, behind Pitt’s showing that day, however. The line was fit and hard and functioned almost perfectly. Gold- berg and La Rue, & grand pair of backs, clicked. Notre Dame was peaked for that | gume, too. But the line petered out after a fairly good start and the backs too often were thrown out in the open for the Pitt tacklers The Georgia Surge. J!M CROWLEY said after the Ford- ham-Georgia game that he never saw a more inspired team than the ‘Toy Bulldogs from Athens were that' day at the Polo Grounds. Fordham | was headed for the Rose Bowl, but ’Georih came piling up out of the | South and fought the Ram so tena- | clously that it got a tie, and, quite likely, paved the way for Fordham’s | subsequent defeat by N. Y. U. Spirit? Inspiration? Sure. Georgia | bad plenty of both, along with a de- | sire to keep Harry Mehre on the job | as coach, since some of the more ob- streperous members of the alumni were beginning to make threatening gestures in his direction. But Georgia had come up for that game the hard | way. It had learned bitter lessons | while it was being battered by South- | ern rivals early in the season. It had learned how to take it, which, in foot ball, as in fighting or any other game, counts heavily. The week before it had shown no little progress by beating Tulane. Georgia also, was in a favorable spot because Fordham had to win to nail. There was ample spirit on both sides. But Pitt's was supple- mented by steadier, sounder foot ball. A Ruse That Failed. THLS business of working a team up to a high emotional pitch for | a big game can be overdone. One Big Ten coach found that out a couple years ago when he tried to build a roaring fire under his team just before the climax game with its traditional foe. He ranted at his players for 10 minutes before he led them to their dressing room, and when the players arrived there they found their uniforms strewn all over | the floor and the sleeves of their | jersies knotted. ‘See that?” the coach roared. “That’s the kind of fellows you are playing here this afternoon! Now let me see you go out there and square things with them for this insult!” The players were mad clean through. They were so mad they blew up at sight of the opposing team and lost the game in the first L (Copyright. 1936. by the North American Newspapcr Alliance, Inc.)

EW YORK, December 7.—Ex- cept for a couple games next week end and the California= Georgia Tech clash at Atlanta December 26. foot ball from now on paradoxically turns into bowling. The interest in the 1936 gridiron campaign, which virtually ended with last Saturday’s final flourish of sure prises, is concentrated almost entirely | on post-season “bowl” games.

BY HERBERT BARKER. EW YORK, December 7 (P).— Credit Ace Parker, Duke’s all-American halfhack, and Milton Popovich of Montana | with the longest of the foot ball sea- son’s long gains. Parker was credited with numerous long runs during the 1936 campaign, but saved his best for the objective game with North Carolina, grabbing & kick-off five yards back of his own goal and running 105 yards to a touch- down Popovich did the same thing against Oregon State. ‘These were the outstanding indi- vidual scoring sprints of the cam- paign, but an Associated Press round- up of long runs, long passes and long kicks developed scores of other sensational plays. Byron White of Colorado University, for instance, ran 102 yards yards with a kick-off against Denver, and Dexter fumble in midair on his own goal line and sprinted 100 yards to score.

Ken Noble of Baldwin-Wallace passed 15 yards to Norman Schoen, who ran 70 yards for a touchdown against Case. A Larue- Goldberg lateral was good for 87 yards when Pitt trounced Carnegie Tech. ‘While the emphasis ordinarily rests produced some astounding feats. Larke Suber of Baldwin-Wallace was credited with one punt that covered 85 yards, 70 in the air. George Fowler of Indiana got away a boot that traveled 84 yards from the line of scrimmage against Purdue. One punt by Johnny Andrews of Westerh Reserve stopped 83 yards away and Sam Francis, all- America fullback from Nebraska, kicked one 82 yards against Pitt. Bush Lamb of Iowa sent a punt booming 80 yards against Temple. Some Long Field Goals. FIELD goals played a relatively small part in the foot ball scheme of things, but Tom Ferry of St. Mary's kicked two placements against Ford- ham, one going 46 yards.

Striving to be indexed for possible future reference are Jimmy Jones, Baltimore middleweight, and Bob Wilson, local glove pusher, who will collide in one of two eight-round co= feature bouts. The other eighte rounder pits Ben Brown, Atlanta, Ga., farm boy, against Tom (Cracker) Beck, Florida middleweight.

Any- way, it serves to illustrate that per- haps Bob can catch a few punches without wilting Wilson stacks up against an ex- pert pitcher and catcher combiney in Jones, who is rated one of the best prospects recently developed in Baltimore. Jones wades in and lets the dukes drop where they may. He can take plenty of punishment withe out dropping and probably will rank a slight favorite when he crawls through the ropes. Beck Is Hard Hitter. BROWN, who recently dropped a close decision to Ken Overlin, faces in Beck a puncher who has disposed of many little-known cloute | ers but who nevertheless is consid- ered a dangerous socker. Ben gave Overlin s0 many anxious moments that Ken refused to heed Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn’s request for a re- turn match here. Sam Bracala, who ras forged to the front in welterweight circles here since losing to Stanford Carrier, lo- cal lad, will strive to erase that de= feat in a six-rounder witn Carrier. | Bracala has been successful in his | 1ast two bouts here, trouncing Tony | Amarosa and Bucky Taylor. He got | off the floor to beat Taylor after | taking a count of nine in the first round. Lou Gevinson, Washington's feath- | erweight hope, will stack up against Lou Lombardi of Baltimore in an- other six-rounder, while the opening four-round bout pits Steamboat Bill Robinson, Alexandria welterweight, against Young Tony Ross of Baltie more, The first punch will be launched at 8:30 o'clock.
