Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—1 went up tn the air with William Lawrence Stribling the other day in Miami. As you may or may not know Stribling is the pride of the south, likewise the king of the cane brakes, also the heavyweight who is *a battle Herr Max Schmeling for what remains of the championship this rummer a am There has iluhi been tom* doubt o how competent a heavyweight Mr. Stribiin- It, due to hit strange inconsistencies and hit peculiar tendency to bog down during the big moments. Because of this tendency there hate been whispers that the soung man’s ticker, or heart, isn’t as as it might be. or. in short, that hf Is not wholly game. a a a j Whether It requires any more courage to cilmb into a cock pit and go whizzing 'through space in an air skin made of I thlnlv wrought metals, mandolin wires and I -üboerized linens than it does to don the / rioves In a boxing contest is a debate I’ll eat* for someone else. But I’ll say this for Mr. Stribling: He’s one ol the best allots I ever flew with and he can do more things with a ship than Sande can ->,;th a boss. What.’s more 'and to the horror of nls guestsi he Will insist upon doing them. a a a \ very unusual young manta Toung stribling. and a very unusual family 'arc •be Stribling*. In the old days Ma and Pa Stribling and the two boys used to piay the small town vaudeville eireuits, billed sa the "Four Novelty Grahams.". They had a routine acrobatic act that never got to the Mg time. Unlike nwt of the old troupes famed in fiction the "Novelty Grahams” never seemed to care a great >sl about the Palace or Broadway. They felt more at home out In the brambles with their kind of folk. a a a In later years when the “Novelty I Grahams” quit troupiifg and Yeung jstrib started to show something as a battier Ma and Pa, who did the managing then, as now, kept away from the big towns for the most part and played the provinces. a a a IV L., r* he is known to his countrymen in the south, has bad more than 300 fights and ftf per cent of them have been in such teeming centers of art and commerce as tVaycross. Ga.. and Drinkwater, t.a. It may be that this long association with the small town elements has developed an unhealthful psychology in Toung Strib and that when he steps out to grapple with more important responsibilities he loses something. a a a At anv rate the records show he has turned In his most disappointing efforts when the most was expected of him. and it is this fact that may keep him from being a top heavy choice against the German. But I started out to write about mv gallon through the clouds with the fighter. The take-off was perfect. It was a bright day and Miami and environs sprawled out below like a gaudy, gleaming tapestry. a a a THE roar of the motors discouraged conversation, but at intervals Young Strib would cup his hands and shout. I don’t know how Lindbergh feels about it, but when a pilot takes both hands off the controls and starts talking I do not feel altogether comfortable. It wasn’t very long before we had climbed to 4,500 feet and were making a speed of 125 miles an hour. Young Strib’s eyes danced with excitement, and his face flushed with adventure. “I’d rather fly than fight,” he shouted. a a a It was easy to believe him. Os all the heavyweights T have seen in recent years this southerner is easily the most adventurous. There’s a gallantry and an audacity about him that the spinners of Action associate with all fighting men, but which Is rarely found in any of them. a a a We dropped down to about 3,000 feet ?nd flew over the Hollywood Country Club. "I landed on the eighteenth green here last week’’ said Young Strib. laughing. "Two old women placing golf fainted." a a a Later we hid straightened out and were beaded for down town Miami. Presently we were over the sky scraper district. Picking out a particularly conspicuous building. Toung Strib said "keep your eye on the roof of that building." The fighter banked bis ship until the wings were at a M degree angle and turned completely around within the radius of the roof which be had selected as a theoretical parking soot—a perfect vertical turn.

EVERY now and then there’s a basketball game which stirs up more than average interest. Such an affair is this Logansport-Frank-fort battle at the City of Bridges on

Friday. Cliff Wells, the genial little Berry mentor, is known as one of the best hosts in the state, but his hospitality doesn’t include throwing a.way basketball games especially to Frankfort. Cliff doesn’t have any special grudge against the Hot Dogs, but Logan just can’t lose games to the Casemen and like it.

Wells

Back In mid-season, when the Dogs were going their hottest, Clifford and his boys made a trip to Frankfort, and fans up around that way will tell you that Case and the Fighting Five found plenty to be proud of in getting off with a 15 to 13 victory. x tt it Incidentally Charley Mead*, that gogetting floor guard, again vill be the official caretaker of Evan Thompson, the red-headed Hot Dog with snake hips and shifty feet. Charley did a good job of unsparkling the Frankfort spark plug in the first tilt. You’ll walk many miles before you’ll see two better high school performers than Charley and Red. tt tt tt Old age has overtaken Nelson Hodges of Shelbvvule —he was 21 on. Feb. 22. the birthday of another great man. Hodges was rated as a reserve, but he took part in praotically every game, this season and turned in some real performances. He 11 be missed bv Coach McCullough and the Mackmen during the tournaments. A firstrate sub is Just like a spare tire, mighty handy to have around. tt tt tt It seems we’ve been guilty of a grave error. A young woman wrote in from Tech, and we changed her name. It wasn’t Mahs—it’s Mabs. And she’s still pulling for Tech—-about half a page worth. She’s pleading for a Tech victory Saturday over Columbus. That s not unusual. tt tt tt “Didn’t Shelbyville give Tech what they deserved?” queries Bud. “And that isn’t all. Wait until the sectional tournament and we’ll let the people of this city know there's another school in town besides Tech.” Yes, Bud is from Shortridge. tt tt tt SHELBYVILLE. IND. Off the Backboard —Shelbyville, 25; Tech, 15. Well, well and well, isn’t that surprising? No. not at alii To one who has seen Shelbyville play basketball, the Mackmen simply ‘‘pulled another one out of the hat.” That’s your own quotation. We people over here get so tired of hearing the same thing from you every night. You always have the same program—Tech, Shortridge. Washington and Frankfort. How about letting Shelby in as a headliner now? But, of course, you Just couldn’t do that and be patriotic at the same time! I wonder if that was Eleanor who was so nervous every time Tech was in a pinch (which was all the time from the beginning to the end). We deeply regret we couldn’t have given Tim a better reception in the old home town, but “Mac” was ill and needed something to cheer him up. Say. if you haven’t seen Shelby pull that
