It’s history that the Dodgers knocked the Giants plumb out of first place that autumn—bitt the Dodgers keep adding clarifying chapters.

BIERMANNAMED ALL-STAR COACH Minnesota Coach To Head All-Stars Against Lions Chicago Aug. 11 —(UP) —Bernie Bierman, who coached the Minnesota Gophers through three seasons without defeat, accepted his nomination today as director of the all-star team picked to defend the prestige of college footba’l against the professional Detroit Lions Sept. 1. He was elected in a newspaper poll with a margin of more than a million points over Elmer Layden, Notre Dame, Bo McMillin. Indiana. Low Little. Columbia and Lynn i Waldorf. Northwestern, who will j serve as assistants. Because of his health Little will not take an active assignment. Bierman received 1,047,173 first place ballots for 3.872,271 points. Layden had 2.784,241 points. McMillin had 2.770.643, Liltle 2.168,202 and Waldorf 2,147,020o : Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) Berlin, Aug. 11— (U.PJ —ls it’s true, as Hen - Pope said, that ai little learning is a dangerous thing, then I am potentially th* most dangerous man at large in Berlin today. I realized this late yesterday after 1 had completed a tour of the mammoth athletic layout which is Reichs sportfield, and ipajd visits to the 101 various sports which are being contested under the Olympic banner. My first stop was at the lovely little fencing amphitheater located where the spectaltors, and there ■were several thousand of them, simply recline on, the grass terraces. In. the center of a natural bowl, she,-led by branches of big

trees, are four wooden runways I and it is on these than the modern ' d'artagnanu perform. Four sets of fencers were going tit it with what resembled long silver pokers when I arrived, and the air was filled with “bravos." “vivas,” and the clang of steel i against steel. There wan some cussing, too, for the Italians and the French musketeers have a j habit of speaking ill of their op- j (ponents’ ancestors when punched I with the ‘business end of a sword. I Scoring of touches is all done! by electricity. The fencers wear I suits which are wired with a sort i of burglar alarm system. When ■ ft fellow is touched, a bell pings j and a green light flashes. This system was adopted this year to eliminate private brawls betweeq judges, which featured past Olympics. The judges never could agree when a competitor was j poked. As a result, every bout had its side bout with the judges squaring off. I tried to master the intricacies of fencing, but left the place in a fog. One of the points I couldn't get clear was why a touch was a touch no matter where it landed. A touch on the toe was a good as one on the back of the ear. Thia wouldn't work in a real fight A fellow would lose two or even three toes and still carry on. But one good stab on the h ick oi the ear and he would be rendered hors de combat, if you'll allow me i to get technical. From fencing. I went to the field hockey stadium and became even more deeply enveloped in ignorance. Japan and India, two i top teams, were playing, and 11 watched it for an hour in the hope I that the idea back of the game would penetrate my noggin. But it never did. The players use weapons which resemble immature ice hockey sticks, and a ball about the size of a baseball. The 1 .balli plays a very small part, how-1 ever. The players hit it only when an opponent’s shin is not avail- ■ able. And if a shin is not within ireach. the players will whack at wrists, heads, ribs, and thighs be- j

lore they will make a go for the ball. When I left, India was leading Japati by 15 shins to six. I believe ‘that a team of wooden legged men, which would be impervious to punishment, could win the championship hands down. The stadium and a soccer game I was my next visit. And it muet ! be a great game, for 80,0(9) people I jammed the place and 80,000 peo- | pie have no business being wrong, i Stiill. my guess is that they were, i for soccer is a game for seals. ' The idea of th< game a« far as I ' could make it out is to see how i high you can bounce a ball off i your head. The sport must be subsidized by the aspirin trusts. ■Water polo I partially fathomed, so to speak I saw Hungary, champions of the world, in action, and It is simply a question of time until all of the players are behind the bars for wilful drowning. The Hungarian style of play is very simple. It's a man-to-man attack. Before play begins, each Hungarian player is given an opponent to drown and with the first blast of the whistle he goes out to do his duty. There were several 'thousand Hungarian rooters in the stands and when a Hungarian op(ponent went down for the third time the cheering was terrific.
