POWERS, League, have obtained title to Samuel of the 1936 intercollegiate season and dent-coach of the Chicago Bears, is addition to owning a professional foot and knows all the angles. Looks Bad for Eagles. N EXCHANGE for Samuel Francis, who can run, pass, punt and block, Mr. George Halas gave the Eagles a deed to William Hewitt, better known as “Off-Side Will,” who for several years was the king pin end of the professional foot ball business, I wouldn't think for a minute that Bill Hewitt's threat to retire from the foot ball profession had anything to do with the trade, but the Eagles are likely to find “Off-Side Will” busy with the railroad traffic, come next September, when the foot ball call is made once more. Sometimes Mr. Halas’ trades do not work out to his satisfaction, but that happens infrequently. Mr. Halas usu- ally knows how much is in a poke before he buys. But one of his great deals did go astray last season. The same Philadelphia Eagles got Jayson | Berwanger of the University of Chi- cago in the draft, and, for the 1935 | season the Maroon halfback was voted the premier player of the coun- | try. Halas parted with a few odds and ends to get Berwanger, and then found the young man would not en- gage in the rough and tumble of professional foot ball. Turning down the largest stipend offered by professional foot ball since Red Grange was lured into the game | by Charles (Bunion Derby) Pyle, Be: wanger insisted upon maintaining his | amateur status. Which left Mr. George | Halas very sad. Berwanger did right well for himself by writing for a newspaper, coaching the freshmen at Chicago University and putting in odd hours in a rubber factory. That was much easier on his proboscis, but earned no money or touchdowns for the Chicago Bears. Surplus of Full Backs. 1\15‘ HALAS now has a surplus of tullbacks, providing Samuel Fran- ¢i. does not elect to remain in Lincoln and assist Biff Jones or go in for corn cutting. Although Bronko Nagurski is getting along in foot ball years and susceptible to bruises and bangs, he etill can pack a ball with the velocity of & locomotive and has a few more seasons to give the dear old Chicago Bears and George Halas. Jack Man- ders, the greatest goal kicker in all foot ball, has been alternating with Nagurski since graduation from Min- nesota, and last seascn became quite @ good runner. What George Halas will do with three fullbacks is a prob- lem he will tackle some afternoon when there is a lu:l in the real estate, laundry and department store traffic. Samuel Francis is one of those fel- lows who should be a natural in pro- fessional foot ball. For some reason or another most of the Nebraska boys do well in the cash-and-carry game, and Bernie Scherer, George Sauer and Bernie Masterson are among the best In the National League. supply the Bears with great kicking and his left-handed passe: should be an annoyance to any opponent. As & line backer, Francis has few equals, and that probably recommended him to George Halas for the Bears can stand some good defensive play. STIRRING GOAL DECIDES ! Rinaldi's Long Toss Near Close Conquers Sleuths, 22-20. A toss from the center of the floor | by Paul Sullivan in the last few sec- onds of play enabled the Rinaldi ‘Tailors to upset the favored Bureau of Investigation courtmen last night, 22- 20, in the feature of a three-game card at the Heurich gymnasium. Sullivan, incidentally, was the game’s high scorer, with nine points, three more than Jimmy Thompson of the G-Men, who was runner-up. In the other two games Delaware & Hudson stopped the Jewish Com- munity Center five, 30-18, and District W. P. A. swamped Federal W. P. A, 66-38. Bill Noonan, W. P.

VERY pet owner often wonders wherein lies the difference be- tween his own, pedigreed dog | and the blue ribbon winner seen at bench shows. Very often his own dog has as good a pedigree as the dog on the bench, and taken part by part, seems to have as many good points from the show standpoint, yet his dog seldom looks as “smart” as the show specimen. He does not realize that much of the style displayed by the dog on the show bench is due to careful grooming and trimming. This is particularly true of the terrier breeds. A wire haired fox terrier, for in- | stance, never trimmed, soon resembles a poor, toy poodle. His coat gets long and wooly, his whiskers get scratched off, he grows a topknot where his skull ought to be sleek and clean, and one | ear, as likely as not, may fly off at a tangent. The terrier designed for the ring on the other hand, is kept in a pen or |crate a large share of the time. to prevent his digging and scratching off his whiskers; special lotions are used on his front legs and foreface to en- courage the growth of hair. His body is stripped at least twice a year and kept trimmed or tidied the rest of the time, with special attention to trimming off or leaving on hair in the places where it will do the most good. His haircut is designed to give him a clean, lean skull, a short, level back, a strong, well arched neck. His ears are taped wien he is a puppy to en- courage them to grow in proper po- sition, just as some mothers use net caps on their infants to make their ears lie close to their heads. These are all matters for the experts. but every pet owner can do some things to make his dog more closely resemble the ideal. IN THE first place, if the dog is some breed of terrier, it would be wise, with few exceptions, to invest a dollar or so in a dog trimming chart. This gives specific and easily | followed instructions for trimming the ! various breeds of terriers. Necessary tools are a comb or two, a brush suited to the breed of dog, a stripping knife, and small, sharp scissors. A dry cleaning powder often can take the place of a soap and water bath in keeping the dog clean and free from objec- tionable odor. Long haired dogs such as collies. Pekingese, and many others, need less | trimming but do need more brushing. | Brushes with long, stiff bristles that | penetrate to the skin stimulate the growth of hair. Wire bristles, except when the dog is shedding and one| |wants to remove the undercoat, {should not be used. A comb should be used on the feathers and silky places behind the ears to prevent snaMs and tangles. On those breeds which require it the feet and ears should be kept trim and tidy. Weighting a collie pup’s ears during the teething period rarely will prevent their being prick. Generally, though, a prick-eared !pup will be prick-eared in spite of anything. And sometimes, a dog with | perfect ear carriage to the age of & year or more, suddenly will go prick- |eared in adulthood. Some breeders | claim that keeping the insides of the |ears well greasted with castor oil or mineral oil helps to promote good ears. Short-haired dogs benefit by rub- downs with the palm of the hand or a | hound glove. Poorly marked Boston terriers are often helped with a little artistic make-up. White dogs can be restored to their over with French chalk, rubbed wel into the coat and then thoroughly brushed out. It is a dusty job but worth doing. Not only will these things enhance the beauty of your pet, but the doing of them will help to establish a special kind of cordial relationship | that always follows upon personal service. Both the dog and his master will look forward to these beauty parlor sessions, and they may be made! | periods of general training as well as | beautification. They should never, however, be allowed to develop in‘o play periods, as the dog must learn to stand without squirming while he is being groomed. ’I‘HE library of the American Kennel Club houses one of the largest collections in the world of books about dogs. There are 459 stud books from lall the countries | breeding of pedigreed dogs, besides 637 other volumes. A trained staff answers hun- dreds of mail inquiries about all kinds of queer doggy subjects from dog pins to ridgeback dogs. In addition, several hundred visitors come in person to the library each year, especially during Westminster show time. GHEZZI CRACKS PAR AT ST.

SURPRISE in the registration fig- ure for the month of January comes in the form of a total of 1,410 greyhounds registered in that month. This is an unprecedented figure, due to the fact that the racing greyhound registry is being incorporated with the American Kennel Club stud book, and also due to the fact that greyhound registration is seasonable, depending on the racing. Second were the cocker spaniels, with 1,008. Third were Boston terriers, with 712 registered. Cocker spaniels, Irish setters, grey- hounds, dachshunds and collies were the only breeds which showed an in- crease in January of 1937 over the January, 1936, figures. The total for all breeds in the first month of 1936 established the record figure of 8,000. The 1937 total, 7,500, shows a healthy state of affairs, however, ANEW book on dogs has been brought out by Doubleday Doran, this time a collection of dog stories by Albert Payson Terhune called “A Book of Famous Dogs.” The- collection consists of a number of tales, ancient and modern, oft told and new. The book is divided into chapters about hero dogs, freak dogs, | war dogs, traveling dogs, writers' dogs, | ete. | Written in his usual popular style, the book makes interesting reading, in spite of a new element which is | pronounced in this book and absent ‘lrom Terhune’s former dog stories. ‘There is a heavily facetious attempt throughout to “debunk” things. That is, everything but the cleverly built up reputation of the Sunnybank dogs. That, of course, would be bad busi- ness. The Sunnybank dogs are not- too-subtly enhanced in this book by sagacity canine heroes of history as recounted by Terhune.

U. and A. U, Losers as Fans Get Unusual Treats. ROBABLY in no single night in local collegiate basket ball his- tory have three such close and hair-raising games been played as those that took place at Maryland, Catholic and American Universities last night. The fact that Maryland was the only one of the home trio to win fails to remove the thrills which still must tingle through the spec- tators who saw C. U. and A. U. nosed out in the closing minutes of play. Greatest credit of all is due to the fighting Old Line five, which, clinging to its chance to compete in the South- ern Conference tournament, overcame a 12-point jead of North Carolina State (which had held the Old Liners to 6 points in the first half) and turned back the Wolfpack, 41 to 35. Virginia Tech’s 32-to-31 defeat of V. M. 1. nearly eliminated the latter as the one rival Maryland has to dis- | place to gain entrance into the annual tournament. Another home team rally which overcame an early lead of the opposi- tion put C. U. into the lead after a long, uphill fight. A counter-rally by St. Thomas, however, enabled the Scranton team to retake the lead in the last two minutes and it held to its advantags to the end for & 35-t0-32 victory. Goal Just Too Late.

U. faculty, time- keeper for the night, ruled that Emer- son Bartlett's apparent game-winning basket had left his hands a split sec- | | ond after time was up. The nullifica- | tion of Bartlett's goal left Hopkins on the long end of a 48-t0-47 count. Behind, 6-18, at the half, Maryland | supporters would have given little for their favorites’ chances as they took the floor at the start of the second half. But, as they did against Wash- ington and Lee, the Terps began to find the basket with increasing reg- ularity, finally setting the stands wild when they first tied the score at 25- 25. N. C. State, seeking its second wvictory of the season over Maryland, was out in front again at 33-32, but | here the Terps put the game on ice with an 8-point spurt which pro- vided them with their final margin.

You expect any youngster bearing the name of Walthour to be a fine bike rider. In the case of Jinmy Walthour you are 100 per cent right. Jimmy is one of the most . promising young m HUH American riders. ~ Last Fall, teamed with Al Crossley, he won the six- day race in Mad- ison Square Gar- den in New York. Walthour and Crossley formed the first Ameri- can team to win in the famous sports arena since 1927. Jimmy is a cou- sin of Bobby Wal- 4 thour, six-day star half a dozen years back, and the nephew of Bobby's father, known as the “Dixie Flyer,” one of the greats of six-day riding a generation ago. Jimmy's dad, James, sr., never attained the racing promi- nence of his brother Bob, but he did better than fair in vaudeville. The senior Jimmy Walthour and Mrs. Walthour had an act that went over big. Dad Walthour would ride a bike on a home-trainer and Jimmy's mother would ride a white horse on & treadmill, and they raced each other. Later on, Bobby, sr., and his wife took over the act. Father Trains Him. JIM'MY‘S father has been his train- er ever since the youngster took up bike racing as an amateur a dozen years ago. Jimmy, sr., is the boy's companion at outdoor ra es and in- door contests. After Jimy won the amateur cycling championship of America in 1927 his father decided he was ready to pedal with the pros. In 1928 he joined the mercenaries. He won his first six-e day race the same year—something no other rider has been able to do. Jimmy has ridden on nine winning teams. Several successes have been with Crossley. The pair won six-day races in Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and To- ronto before taking first in New York. Jimmy is just coming into his prime. He is 26 years old, weighs 150 pounds, stands 5 feet 63z inches. He was born at Eighth avenue and Forty- seventh street in New York City, 8 stone’s throw from Madison Square Garden. “A Bicycle Built for Two.” SOM‘E of you old-timers recall the famous song line of a generation ago—“On a Bicycle Built for Two.” Well, that piece was written when Bobby Walthour, sr., at the peak of his popularity, eloped.
