WASHINGTON, D. C, Boxing, Basket Ball and Hockey Offer Win, Lose or Draw Three-Rail Wins By FRANCIS E. STAN. Are Nothmg 10 SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1942. hort; but Sweet, College Card Tonight * 6. W.-Maryland Basket Scrap Tight Affair Terps Favored Over Terror Ring Team; C. U.

Nick Kroeze at Fort Belvoir as an example, The young New Jerseyite, already a crack shot, still competes once a week in the District Rifle League on the United States Aggies' team. “If there's anybody around here who can shoot more accurately in any position,” | says Bill Shadel, “we haven't seen him.” Tumblers and Blockers Usually Make Flyers ! Anxious to play its part in national defense, the N. R. A. is offering | to train the staggering total of 1,000,000 Americans a month on the 3,700 rifle ranges belonging to the national body. “If we can get .22- caliber ammunition,” says Shadel, “we can take some of the load off the Army. We have the time, ranges, instructors and reloading facilities to send selectees into the Army able to handle rifies and requiring only & minimum of later training with .30-caliber ammunition, which is pretty well absorbed by Uncle Sam as fast as it is manufactured.” Except for the shifting of the Rose Bowl game from Pasadena to Durham and the cancellation of West Coast horse racing, sports have been left alone so far by the Government. Most of the other events which have been called off have been voluntary. Some of the actions, | perhaps, have been a little foolish. But except when the Government | deemed an actual raid not impossible sports have been left alone and | the reason is obvious. A non-athletic nation isn't likely to be good at 1 warfare. The Germans used athletics to disguise their intentions until they grew strong in armament. ‘ President Roosevelt, in his public suggestion that baseball carry on, stressed only the importance of civilian morale but the Government’s experts have many more values to place on sports. Jim Pixlee, the for- | mer George Washington coach, came up with a slant on fiyers not long | ago after a coast-to-coast survey. “Show me a man who is a good | and then makes his choice of taking | ¢ 4 ”» o - & . | g | commissioners gave a cool tumbler,” he said, “and I'll show you a man who probably has the mak- | first price cash of $2,500 or $3,321.25 | today to proposals to set up a “czar” ings of & good pilot. There aren't many tumblers in the world, I'll grant you, but the same goes for football players. There isn’t much difference between blocking in football and tumbling, so I'll say this: Show me a : good blocking back 200 pounds or under and again I'll show you a good fiyer.” | Familiar Faces to Greet Jones Upon Return to West Point | Nine Members of A;:c;demy Athletics Staff Have Served Under New Sports Chief By AUSTIN BEALMEAR, | Associated Press Sports Writer. | WEST POINT, N. Y, Jan. 24—When Maj. Lawrence (Biff) | . Jones returns to the United States Military Academy next month | to take over his new assignment as graduate manager of athletics, | he’ll find some of his former assistants running the football squad. | Nine members of the West Point athletic staff—including Pootball Coach Earl Blaik and two« of his helpers—have been associated | - ] With Jones in other years as coaches, | C0ch at L. S. U. and two at Okla- | homa before another transfer to players or both. P ” active duty threatened to take ihim Maj. Jones, who retired from the away from football. That's when | Army in 1937 to accept the Uni-| versity of Nebraska's offer to head | its gridiron staff, was recalled yes- | terday and ordered to report Feb-} yuary 2 to succeed Col. Louis E.| Hibbs, soon to be transferred to| another post. | “It's going to be just like old| times,” said Blaik, who returned to the academy from Dartmouth only | a vear ago to become head coach.| “We're happy to have him coming back.” | Blaik was an assistant under the| “Biffer” during the last three of his | four years as Army head coach from | 1926 through 1929, and helped Jones | briefly at Louisiana State after the | latter moved there. | Harry (Fats) Ellinger, the present | line coach, played under Jones here and has been a member of Blaik's staff for several years, both at Dart- | mouth and Army. End Coach Frank | (Spec) Moore, who joined Blaik at| Dartmouth and came here with him, played for Biff at L. S. U. and| coached under him both there and | at Oklahoma. Six coaches of other sports, who were here during the first Jones re- gime, still are on the job. They are Leo Novak, track; Morris Touch- stone, lacrosse; Ray Marchand, hockey; Joe Nill, swimming; Tom Jenkins, wrestling, and Billy Cav- anaugh, boxing. For the time being, at least, the | new assignment ends Jones’ football coaching career, which has been in- terrupted only once since it began in 1920 after his graduation from West Point. His lifetime record is 87 vic- tories, 33 defeats and 14 ties. In his new position, Jones will | take no part in the coaching of the team. His work will be that former- ly handled by two men. Lt. Col william J. Reardon, an assistant to Col. Hibbs, already has been transferred to duty at Fort Knox, | Ky. Jones served as assistant coach here for six years before he was appointed head man in 1926. He was transferred to the field ar- tillery school at Fort Sill, OKla, in 1930, but returned the following year as assistant to Maj. Philip B. Fleming, graduate manager of athletica, Then came three years as head he retired from the Army and suc- | ceeded Dana X. Bible as Nebraska's | coach. In five vears, his Cornhusker | teams won 28 games, lost 14, tied 4| and took two Big Six titles, one of | which was followed by a trip to the | Rose Bowl. His contract was re- | newed for five years not long ago. | “Jones will be a great aid to the academy,” Blaik said, “because he knows its problems on the athletic | side as well as the military side.” | Sports Mirror By the Associated Press, Three years ago—Joe Louis made fiffh defense of heavy- weight title, knocking out John Henry Lewis in 2:29 of the first round.

His ball touches the red one pushes it aside, heads for the rail, bounces off, goes on around | the table all the way. Then, mo- | mentum falling, it hits the third ball. It's all over. Lone Loss Is to Rubin. “Weren't you nervous,” a well- wisher asks, “when Cochran got ahead of you there at the start? He had you 16 to 13 and was going | good.” | Hoppe smiles, rewards & *“con- | gratulations” with a “thank you.” “Still can run them, can't you?” some one else puts in. “That 7 you | got in the 15th put you in front and Welker never did catch up.” | Willie still grins, shakes hands| in defense bonds.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24—War notes (home front variety): The Glants and Dodgers, always fond of a feud, are keeping the Hot Stove League warm with an ex- change of words about their scheduled exhibitions in Cuba. Latest is that the Giants claim the trip would be more trouble to them than it's worth and Brook- lyn answers that they hear they'd draw as well if the Cuban All- stars filled the dates. The Na- tional Horse Show Association is annoyed at the S. P. C. A. for breaking a “gentlemen’s agree- ment” by pinching exhibitors of horses with set tails. Fishermen are up in arms over the New York “feather law” because it would keep them from using wild bird plumage for fishing flies. And various ski meisters are getting hot enough to melt what snow is left when they discuss the new “paralle]” teaching technique. Wouldp't it be swell if all that energy could be turned to some good use? One-minute sports page—John B.

Billy Petrolle, who put his sav- ings into business in Duluth, keeps touch with the fight game by helping to judge Golden Gloves matches. Although Whirlaway can't collect Santa Anita’s hun- dred grand this year, he may go after the money-winning record the hard way, entering a lot of less valuable races. Johnny Mize tells the Giants his lame shoulder is okay again but he has plenty of pounds to take off so he'll start in at Hot Springs, Ark., early in February. Today’s guest star—Dennis Brown, Mount Clemens (Mich.) Daily Monitor: “If Rogers Horns- by can manage the Fort Worth Cats into the first division, Amon Carter’s town will go along with the rest of the Union in voting the Rajah into baseball’s Hall of Fame. Otherwise, the Hall of Fame can continue as just another damyankee institution as far as the cow city is con- cerned.” Hot stove warmup—Tommy Tucker of the Cleveland News raises the first protest against the President’s suggestion that base- ball should carry on as usual. “What I'd like,” says Tommy, “is a baseball league in which the Yanks don't always win.” Dixie Walker, a refugee from Brook- lyn's mashed potato circuit, has gone to Alabama for a pre-season vacation.
