*14 kIVN'.Y FRIEDMAN, the old Michigan backfleld star, visited his f friends in New York City during the past few days and had heaps »f praise for his Alma Mater’s present grid juggernaut. Speaking before the Metropolitan Football Writer’s Association at the weekly luncheon in Toots Shor’s, Friedman extolled the Ann Arbor Eleven as one of the best in the nation. He told his listeners that Dan Dworsky was one of the unsung heroes of the club. Dworsky, according to Friedman, is one of the best backers —up in Big Nine football. ★ ★ ★ Sol Strauss the 20th Century Sporting Club boxing impresario, has announced that the forthcoming heavyweight championship Unit between the two Joes, Ixmis and Walcott, will have a $30 top. Strauss said he preferred a $25 top, but was persuaded to go for the $30 figure. It looks as though this shindig will attract a quarter of a million gate, a record take for Madison Square Garden. Strauss and Company have played Nat Rogers a dirty trick. \Vhen the New York Boxing Commission suspended Rogers indefinitely, Strauss and Company took Rogers off the payroll. It seems that he rated better treatment inasmuch as he was blackballed by the commission for services rendered under the 20thCentury Sporting Club aegis. ★ ★ ★ The Baltimore Bullets and Philadclpliia Warriors started the liaskethall season last week at Atlantic City before a sellout crowd of over 5,000 fans. Pat Kennedy, who refereed the game, told us that in his estimation, the game could have sold out Convention Hail if it were played there. The demand for tickets was terrific. Baltimore surprised everyone by knocking off the B. A. A. champs by 12 points. High scoring Joe Fulks who set so many scoring records for Philadelphia last winter was held to two baskets. Meyer Bloom, the terror from Trenton, draped himself around Fulks and handcuffed the shooting wizard. Ironically, Bloom belonged to the Philadelphia Spalls, coached by Eddie Gottlieb, mentor of the Warriors today who let him go because of Mike's idiosyncracies. Bloom can be one of the best centers in basketball when he puts his mind to playing the game. However, he sulks quite a bit and consequently is an in-and-outer. It will be recalled that big Mike bulwarked the Temple University Five which defeated the highly touted Stanford University quintet led by the incomparable Hank Luisetti. ★ ★ ★ Frankie Scott, the only Jewish member of the large New York Yankee family, received a one quarter share of the Yankee World Series loot. Scottie’s cut amounted to close to $1,500. He is currently helping out with the football Yankees. Pittsburgh fans will remember him as a one time favorite of Dr, Jock Sutherland when the Doctor handled the roaching reins at Pitt and was in Brooklyn with the pros. ★ ★ ★ /T~M1IS is the time of the year when football fans glue their ears X to the radio receivers and listen to the dulcet vocal tones of Bill Stern describing a football classie^every Saturday afternoon. Stern's broadcasts are something to be seen rather than heard, since the dramatic announcer generally describes a game that is only taking place in part on the gridiron from which he broadcasts. Ever in search of the dramatic. Stern does not let the truth interfere with his description of the contest. It has gotten so that his rival, Ted Husing, kids the pants off Stern every time the two meet. Very frequently the N.B.C. sportscaster announces the Kahn Tailoring Co.

wrong ball carrier and in genuflection to the dramatic forgets to correct his mistake. Perhaps his biggest boner in a broadcast took place recently in an important contest where Stern had hod the wrong ball carrier going for a touchdown. His frantic spotter all but grew blue in the face signalling Stern that he was crediting tRe wrong backfleld man. Instead of acknowledging his error Stern passed off the deception by announcing blithely that the ball carrier was lateraling the bail to a teammate on the one yard line. This teammate,,who was the real hall carrier all of the way, was finally credited with the touchdown. Why the Imll should be lateraled on the one yard stripe with no enemy tacklers in sight. Stem never did explain. This business of lateraling the hall from one player to another is a common pmctice with Stern so that he never credits the eventual touchdown to a wrong player. A s[Hitter who has worked with Stern in the past informs us that good old BUI has been

using this deception for years.

A few years ago, before broadcasting his first horse race. Stern approached Ted Husing for advice on how to describe the event.

After telling Stem what to do in handling the race, Husing quipped, rates hieh amone the oresent list “And remember Bill, whatever you do, you can’t lateral a horse.” be j n g considered Stern, it will be recalled, handled the color commentary on • •

a big horse race that Clem McCarthy announced last spring in which Clem mistakenly described the wrong horse winning ail of the way. When McCarthy learned of his error he apologized to the listening audience and told them exactly what had happened. later that evening a mutual friend asked Stern how he would have handled the situation had he made the boner McCarthy pulled. Stem smiled and replied, “Oh, I would have run the race another 150 yards and straightened the whole thing out.” Perhaps the moral of this tale should be that when certain sportscasters broadcast you should make it your business to get

next to a television set.

Abe Sajierstein in New York City for the Army- Illinois game informed us that he was 20 per cent farther advanced this year in booking his famous Harlem Globe Trotters throughout the North American Basketball Circuit. Abe is in demand by leading college coaches to help instruct their players in setting up pivot post plays. Saperstein’s Trotters feature a double pivot attack that is acknowledged to be one of the best in pro basketball. Consequently the little Chicago dynamo is often consulted

to teach this form of offense.

son. In the event that the surgery proves successful Greenberg will try another year of baseball. He intimates he would like to finish his career with the New York Yankees. Rumor has it that the Boston Braves are willing to pay him big money to cavort for them while the Cleveland Indians are willing to sign him for less

dough than he has been getting in recent years.

this season.

Dr. Irv Brenner of Zion Lodge, Columbus, O., hit a 277 in a recent game, just two short of the league’s all-time high. Lester Miller, Detroit, had a 276 in a recent league game.
