Speaking of Sports Jack Tobin and his player.pals “eppéd into Ardt place, held jointly vith the P. & 1%, team, last night by whibiting a& pretty a bit of team flay as could be wished. - A1l of the Nen worked together like parts of well olled machinery. Especially noticeable was the lack 'f rough play by the lockmakers, Mly nine fouls were called on the ntire team and of these Billy Yan- ‘askas, usually a heavy - offender, ot but one and that toward the e’ of the contest, Joe Luke of the Russell & Erwin /o contributed the most sensation- 1l shot of the game, Standing near he basket, he and Nyhorg went ifter a jump ball. As usual, Luke sutjumped his opponent and hit the vall a terrific sock, sending it stralght into the basket for two pointa. The Russell & Erwin boys found Gdody Prefsser a hard man to stop, Goody's diminutive size, compared to (he “chief” and some others, makes him hard to find and his fast foot- work adds to the confusion of his opponents. . As usual last night, there were the regular, number of fans aitting along the sidelines who insisted on airing their views for the referee, Ac- cording to Physical Director Joseph Hergstrom this practice must stop. Cheering and other sportsmanlike shouts are all right, Joe says, but he objeets to the fans indulging in per- sonalities. whose dulect tones last One of those boomed out above the others night had his courage with him ‘for! he must have forgotten that mext ‘Tuesday night he too, will appear on the floor with one of the teams. His comments last night will not detract from the attention given him by the same crowd of fans next week. Referee Hays explained that he " put Billy Preisser from the Landers- I"afnir game for deliberately crash- ing an epponent into the wall with violence, and then laughing at him (the referee) when he called a foul. Harold Weir is a pretty good sort of a player and. a valuable man to any team, but he'd be more so if he could curb his tongue, accept the referee’s ruling and confine his nergy to playing. Last night Chiet Hays had to reprimand Hal for talk- ing and then called a technical foul for arguing with him, An event of humor and pathos oc- “uyred at the Y last night. Five lit- tla boys, aged about 8 or 9 years, seaked into the building: hid their slothes behind a door and took a swim in the tank., They were hav- ing a glorious time when one of the ttaches disscovered them and hid neir clothes, A half hour later Joe Hergstrom iscovered five whimpering and sob- \ing youngsters, sans clothes, hud- led behind a door. After explain- ing the error of their ways, Joe se- cured their clothes, Once again smiles radiated from the kids' faces, und they scampered homeward. Gehrkoweki's record of shooting seven out of nine free tries last night was a good ome, Luke was but slightly behind with six out of nine ATTENTION Cadillac Owners Why take your car out of town to be repaired when you have Cadillac experts in town?

Four varsity crews and the 150. pound eight of Columbia university took their first long workouts of the season on the Hudson river yester. day. Coach Fred Miller sent the beats over a seven-mile course and made two shifts in the junior varsity shell. The varsity oarsmen next week will move inte Baker Field Manor house, where *strict training will be started, Two workouts , a day will prevail during the Easter vacation period, J/The north and west is to have a taste of the indoor track delicacies that have spiced the winter scason of the east. Announcement was made yesterday that Willle Plant and Ugo Trigerlo, walking cham- plons of America and Europe, and Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ritola, fly- ing Finns, have decided to extend their rivalry over a tour through Canada, Detroit and possibly the Pacific coast. - Long suffering housewives of the metropolitan section who have view- door practice swing of the snow- bound golfer had occaslon for relief yesterday.

After being showered with hits in ! the third inning, Wait Hoyt gave in- | dication yesterday that he is ready | to disappoint a few American league | hopefuls during the approaching campaign. WONDER BOYS IN GREAT SEASON (Continued from Preceding Page) It is unfair to say that gny player on the team starred, but the whole |team was an almost perfect machine, the individual cogs working together with great precision and good effect. (Short snappy passes were substituted for dribbling in working the ball up |the floor, while long heaves alter- nated to disconcert the opposing de fenses. Al in all, it was a team team in every sense of the word. Captain Mickey Luke was the oring ace of the outfit, running up 151 field goals and 53 fouls for a total of 855 points, more than one- third of his team's total; fast on the floor and equally good from under the basket, the foul line, or the mid- dle of the floor, Luke proved him- self consistently the most dangerous shooter on the squad. He also out- jumped many taller opponents at center. Pete Kerelejza was light, but grew rapldly better and more aggressive as the season progressed and developed into a fine all-around player. Ray Anderson, the other forward, had all kinds of stuft when he cut loose, but he devoted most of his playing time to feeding his charges. These three worked to- gether to build up an offense which was not stopped once. Elmer “Nibby” Nyborg, Frank Ar- burr, and Stanley Gotowala formed / brilliant defensive combination in spite of their different characteris- tics. Nyhorg, light and fast, covered his ms important cog in the offense as well Arbung slower and more stolid, hung determinedly to his“®pponents and kept them practically scoreless when in a fighting mood. Gotowala, light and less colorful, was a most valuable standing guard and rarely came up the floor to shoot. Matty Mieszkowski helped the team con- siderably before he left to try out for the high school outfit. The in- dividual scoring: Fld 151 a4 64 40 41 16 Luke Kerelejza Anderson Nyborg ..

Wiladyslaw Maksmiak, Polish ath- lete, strong man and wrestler, will glve an exhibition of strong man's feats at Turner hall tomorrow eve- ning at 8 o'clock. Maksmiak enjoys a wide reputa- tlon in this country and in Poland where his feats of strength and e e q WLADYSLAW MAKS wrestling ability have earned him the reputation as one of the world's strongest men, One of the stunts which Maksmiak will exhibit tomorrow night will be to have an iron bar bent over his neck by 30 persons from the au- dience. Another stunt is to lift a platform containing 20 persons. Still another is to twist an iron bar around his wrist, ralse four persons with one hand and arm, drive nails into a plank with his bare feet and break bricks on his head. The breaking of muscles is one of his pet exhibits. In addition to being a strong man and wrestler, Maksmiak has done some boxing and has toured this country and Europe.

Then Gehrkowski broke through with a double decker and an instant later put Fafnir in the lead A-3 with another. Landers took the lead again when Luke got a double deck- er and then Fafnir again came to the front on a two pointer by Weir. On the next scrimmage Paulson | and Preisser got in a jam on the | side lines and a foul was called on Billy when he took a kick at a con- venient section of Paulson’s ana- tomy. The kick did not land. Neither did Paulson's effort to shoot the resultant free try. Fafnir went into an 8-5 lead when Gerry got another twe pointer and Luke, after dribbling through the entire Fafnir team, landed the ball in the net for the Landers' seventh point. Then Landers swept into the van on Bucherri's second double decker. It was short lived, however, for Gerry shot both free tries after he- ing fouled by Klatka and Fafnir led 10-9. Anderson, with one from the floor, added two more to Fafnir's count but this was cut down when Bucherri scored and Landers took the lead again on Luke's counter. Weir, on resumption of play, took a shot, missed, recovered the ball and then succceded and once mors his team was ahead. One by Klatka and another by Bucherri and Lan- ders hopped to the front 17-14 which was made 17-16 on Ander- son’s counter and then, when Weir got another, Fafnir headed the pro- cession 18-17. Gerry increased it by two points and Stohl added two more and at half time the count was 24-18, Fafnir, the 15th point having been made when Luke shot Stohl's foul. The Second Half Captain Luke stepped on the gas with the whistle in the second half and scored a fleld goal in ten sec- onds, McCabe following with anoth- er on the next play. A foul by Klatka and Gerry added one to Faf- nir's count of 24 and it was 26.22 when Stohl shot Luke's foul. Luke brought Landers’ count to 24 with a heautiful field goal but Gerry offset that when he calmly tossed in both shots on Klatka's foul. Paulsen was again rough and Luke collected one point. Again Klatka fouled and once more Gerry counted from the free line and a moment later Weir made it 31-25 on a doubls decker. Russell, whe had replaced Paulson, fouled Luke twice in succession and each time the Landers captain made good his one free try. Then An- derson got going again and tossed in a two pointer for Fafnir, Preis- ser counted for Landers and a tech- nical foul on Weir gave Luke a chance to add one more. Gerry who had been going like a house afire, kept up his fast work How Many Shaves To A Blade? === ay Don't be a martyr to dull blades. It's casy to have a super-keen, new-like blade for every shave.
