Many persons have discovered that snow can be a friend—a friend that Invites them to enjoy an exhilarating and interesting sport. It used to be that the word vacation meant only one thing—a holiday at the seashore or in the mountains to get away from hot weather. Skiing has opened the eyes of many to the fact that vacation also | has a Winter connotation. ‘There is nothing mysterious about all this.

Once they have had a taste of the charm of the snow-packed hills, the pines and fir trees drooping | with snow, the silver birch trees and the dazzling sunshine, they are certain to come back for more.

Remember | how you awaited the first snow of the Winter with the greatest expecta- tion? The thrill of gliding along swiftly on a pair of ice skates or rushing downhill at & breakneck pace | on a sled was something to look for- ward to. Then, as you grew up, the snow lost some of its thrill. There were things like having to keep the sidewalk cleared, trouble starting the eold motor of your car, the difficult driving on snow-covered streets, and the like. Then it wasn't so much fun.

T THE SPORTLIGHT Hubbell’s Slabbing for Giants in Rain Against Yanks One of Classics of 1936. High Spots of 1936. 0S8 ANGELES, December 26— The opening game of the world series supplied the setting for one of base ball's main tests— a great pitcher facing an array of great hitters. Carl Hubbell against the Yankees—the master of the double-jointed screw ball against Gehrig and Di Magglo and the rest of that wrecking crew. The dope was that Hubbell would win. Not only because Carl is a grea pitcher, but because his unusual de- livery gives him an edge on any club facing him for the first time. Hub- bell isn’t the only screw ball propeller in base ball, but none of the others can match him in effective use of it. They use it now and then just to con- fuse the hitters. Carl uses it in the clutches. The experis said that the ‘Yankees would beat the Giants in the series—but that Hubbell would win the opening game. Everybody knew Hubbell would pitch the opening game, of course. They knew it as soon as the Giants had clinched the pennant. didn't have to waste any time over his pitching selection for the first skirmish. The day before the game Joe Mc- Carthy announced that Red Ruffing was going to pitch for the Yankees. Joe wasn't going to “waste” a pitcher just because the Giants were going to call on Hubbell. He was going to make it as close as he could, because Big Red is a pretty good pitcher, too, and, if he got a break, he might win. Still, the odds were on Hubbell as the | big day dawned. The Rain Comes Down. HAT nobody had figured in ad- vance was the weather. Rain clouds were banked in a gray sky as the game began and after an innin, or two had rolled by rain began to fall. Pitching to the Yankees on & dry fleld under a cloudless sky is risky enough, because there isn't & bloke in that batting order who isn't likely to step to the plate and ruin a well pitched game with one healthy swing. Pitching to them in the rain was a job loaded with hazards. AOn a muddy fleld and with & wet | ball, Hubbell had to be almost per- fect, because any slip he might make could be a fatal one. And always, as he moved through the innings, there was Ruffing press- ing him—taking the lead once, fall- ing behind a little later—but always pressing him. World series history doesn't yield another case of a pitcher on a spot like that. But Hubbell never wavered. He gave the Yankees the screw ball in the clutches—but be- tween times he showed them a fast ball and a curve ball that were better than they thought he could muster. GE and he was in a few jams after that. In the eighth he fumbled a bunt that Through the Jams. ORGE SELKIRK slapped him for a home run in the third inning | Yankees couldn't hold the wet and slippery ball and threw it around in such fashion that, by the time the inning was over, the game was be- yond their reach. They went swinging desperately up to the piate in the ninth, throwing | everything they had in a final effort | to pull the game out, but they couldn't poke the ball beyond the infield. . The Vital Statistics. | R!.'DUCED to figures, this was what’ Hubbell did, pitching against the Yankees in the murk and mire of the | Polo Grounds: He gave up seven hits, two of which were made by Jake Powell. No | ball that wasn't a hit passed beyond the infield—meaning that the Giant Bill Terry | outfielders didn't have a put-out or an assist. He hung up eight strike-outs, including two against Lazzeri and one | each against Gehrig and Dickey. He issued only one base on balls.

Of the thousands who have become interested in the sport, some are sure to become capable performers. The recent Winter sports show in Madison Square Garden, in New York, was a revelation to many. Some 75,- 000 spectators witnessed the four-day | gompetition and exhibition—just about | @s many as could jam their way into the famous sports arena. | Before they realize it, perhaps, the manufacturers of skis are likely to have a major industry on their hands.

The Yankee rooters were yelling 7 and bobbing up and down in their seats, and in the Giants’ dugout the bench warmers fidgeted—but Hubbell, a slim man of iron out there in the box, stamping around in the mud and calling calmly for a new bag of rosin because in the downpour the bag that had lain out there had turned to paste, was & figure that nothing oould dismay. Then came the break—a break in luck that Carl had earned by his magnificent pitching.

The Conservation Commission has ordered 80 more deer, making & total of 180 which will be stocked for next year’s hunting. Delivery will be made in a few weeks, or as soon as the Snow is deep enough in the preserves for keepers to catch or trap them. Forty deer are coming from Michi- gan, 20 from Missouri, 20 from a pri- vate reserve in Greenbrier County and the remainder from Pennsylvania. Rabbits to the number of 2,000 also have been ordered for release in coun- ties where their sale is prohibited.

For instance, it points out that business revenues totaling about $1,000,000,000 a year accrue from wildlife resources. “Sportsmen are spenders,” it says, but warns, “No game, no hunting; no fish, no fishing.” The booklet stresses the fact that the saving of hunting and fishing, which now are diminish- ing, to the 13,000,000 people who like to hunt and fish will be one way for interested business to demonstrate some constructive statesmanship. Wildlife is the second most important crop in New Hamp- shire, bringing the State an an- nual income of about $5,931,000.

As the hands are merely a prolongation of the club shaft, they must do the leading in the swing of the club.” Tommy Armour, one of golf's greats, holds this to be the true method of hitting a golf ball. “The swing is controlled by the ace tion of the body, and where the ball goes is measured by the way the body acts.” Bob Barnett, speaking. There you have two different ideas of how a golf ball is struck straight and far, expounded by two of the better thinkers on the game of golf. They sound far apart, but actually they are as close together as 12 noon. Armour Uses Body, Too. 'OMMY claims and consistently has taught that all golf ball action is controlled by the hand action, as who wouldn't with a pair of hands like those of the Armour. A brace of sinewy, strong hands like his can flip {8 club head through a golf ball with |8 minimum of body action, but don't ever think that Tommy doesn't use plenty of body work in his swing. He does, and he'd be the last to deny it. But Bob Barnett, with small, strong hands, uses a different-appearing method, Bob uses more body pivot than Tommy and less hand action, ! but actually at the moment of meet~ |ing the ball the hand and Body ac- | tion of these two masters of the game is the same. If you concede that the whole ides of the address in golf is to bring the hitting sector of the club head into | the same position it had at the ade dress, you can see how close are the ideas of Tommy and Bob. For both of ‘em actually hit the bal. with both hands and body, and they hit hard and far, Swings Fundamentally 'I-“\ 'HE only difference between 'em is that where Tommy, with those powerful mitts, can hit a ball 175 yards with his hands alone, Bob, with less powerful hands and consiflerably |ored quint at the Heurich gym,|less stature must get his body into the | ball to get the benefit of weight and | leverage. | And both of 'em agree that the body must be brought back into the | address position as the ball is struck |and possessors of the all-time record ‘ and that the hands must flick through the ball.

At heart, of course, the fight man- ager is the same razor-brained and light-fingered fellow he always was, deriving his greatest relish from the - | business of outsmarting somebody else. He doesn’t expect to be in the chips all the time. So long as he picks up & buck here and there, and keeps from starving, and has a new fighter ready or on the make to take the place of the old one, he is fairly happy. It isn't & fragrant business, man- aging fighters, but it has its points. Prizefighting is an enterprise which attracts parasites as surely as sugar draws flies, and you can say this for it—it attracts the most colorful brand.

MANAO!E LEE FOHL of the Cleveland Indians is pre- dicting that his all-America foot ball player, Paul Des Jardien, from. Chicago University, will make just as good & base ball player. Des Jardien, a pitcher, worked out with the Indians in foot ball togs late last Summer. Brooke Brewer, star pitcher of St. Albans last year, will leave soon for the National Junior A. A. U. championships in Philadel- phia. Brewer will participate in the 60-yard dash and the 70-yard hurdles. He undoubtedly was the fastest foot ball player in the coun= try last Fall. 3 8 Mi;lwest Pat on Pass Interference Rule Big Ten Commissioner Holds It Isn’t Satisfactory, but Cannot Be Bettered BY LAWRENCE PERRY. * ASTERN coaches, who count upon their Western broth- ers to assist them in the fight some of them intend to make for a change in the pres- ent rule covering interference with the forward pass, likely are to be disappointed. ‘They have had some trouble with the rule in that section, crowds booing and cat-calling but it s0 has happened that important issues have not been decided thus, as the East in 1935 and 1936. 8o the attitude of midland coaches very largely will be a stand-pat one. ‘Walter Okeson, chhirman of the Rules Committee and & very canny man who keeps his fingers upon the national pulse, was out West looking over the situation and checking up with Maj. John L. Griffith, Wesetrn Conference com- missioner of athletics and presi- dent of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. If Walter is loath to tinker with the rule he must have received plenty of en- couragement from Maj. Griffith. At least, he did if the major talked to him as he did to the ‘writer. ¥ “I think the jgeneral sense out here is that theirule should be let alone,” he said, *not that it is sat- isfactory: for it ¥ not. But I have heard of no suggested change which would not make conditions worse than they are now. “The Foot Ball Coaches’ Asso~ s clation is going to consider this question at its annual meeting in New York. Iam sorry for this, be- cause I am quite sure that the Rules Committee will let the rule alone.” Maj. Griffith is not greatly dis- turbed over the foot ball betting pool situation throughout the country and particularly in the Middle West. “Originally,” he said, “I was very much worried about this bet- ting, but I begin to see signs which lead to the belief it will correct itself.
