Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

LAKE PLACID, N. Y„ Feb. B. The serpentine mile-and-a-half bobrun here will formally open Olympic competition Tuesday with the junior size, or two men sleds, whizzing through the icy passes. That the sleds carried human cargo Was a surprise to the experts who had watched an interesting scientific demonstration Sunday afternoon in which one of the adult sized, or four-men sleds, was sent down the run unencumbered by man, woman or beast. The demonstration Droved to be a comDlete triumph for the machlneane In asmuch as the sled toon all the perilous turns on high and at ereat speed, finishing the last several furlongs in a common canter and without so much as a light sweat. .An enterprising syndicate publisher met the sled at the end of the run and wts about to close with it to do bv-line stories on the event for the remainder of the meet when the discovery was made that the stee* runners were of Scandinavian make, and therefore unsuitable for domestic presentation. The Derformance of the unlnhabltated sled has led to Interesting suggestions and a nlan Is now being considered to nut clothing store dummies on sltlis and send them down the shutes Instead of adhering to the conventional custom of using humans. ~ T£ e Proponents 0 f this plan argue that If the human mind is not necessary n bohrunntng It can be. and verv likely Is. a oostlve hindrance In ski lumping, a form of frost-bitten hara klrl that consists of leaping far out into space on a pair of bed slats with the odd flfty-flftv that you will land either on vour neck or In somebody's church steeple. There appears to be some doubt as to whether the manless ski lump wlh be adopted because the left wing element of the progressives are opposed to using clothing store dummies. Tnev sav that to use them instead of humans in >he .ski tumps Is a libellous Indictment against the mentality of the dummies, who arc harmless sort of persons and always vote the straight Tammany ticket. tt u a WHAT to use as substitutes for speed skaters is a problem that up to now has baffled those who hold that the interests of international amity and good will can best be served by eliminating entirely the human element, this being the big, spiritual motivation behind the idea. You can not take a pair of naked skates and put them on the ice and expect to get any action. Whether this is important Is open to auestlon. In the races here so far there has been little action. In fact, there was so little action In ;>ne' of the races that three of the bovs were tossed out of the ring for not trying, thus leading to the suspicion that Pete Helllv was around. What to do about curlers also presents annoying difficulties. Your grim fuced correspondent, enduring the tortures of snow and ice lit was thirty above Sunday! has previously described the harrowing details of curling. In one respect it seems to me the only winter sport that adds anything \o the higher forms of civilization, the only sport with a utilitarian purpose. Shoving the tea kettles down the ice with the idea of scoring a bull's eve at the other end of the rink, using bod? Englisn and Pig Latin prayers, is the least important phase of the sport. Well, they call it sport. • a a a WHEN one of the tea kettles is kicked off a couple of guys get in front of it with brooms and sweep the alley out. They station themselves at opposite angles from the kettle and follow its dawdling progress down the floor, increasing or decreasing the broom action to fit the demands of the situation. . When vou can get strong men to go out for public sweeping exhibitions with brooms I think it is a fine thing for the country. It, connotes a Democratic pirit and a willingness to do plain, common work. Out of curling may come the answer to the divorce problem. A wife with a gifted broom sweeper should havno cause for complaint. I am not sure whether the same tactics applied to baseball would help baserunning. I have in mind specifically Shanty Hogan of the Giants, who is no Wvcoff on the paths. Whether it would help to import a couple of Canadian broom sweepers to get him around in faster time Is debatable. In his case I think the only answer fs a racing motor car. or an enraged bull with a determined sense of direction. But whatever comes of the campaign to eliminate the human and conduct all future Olympic tests on a mechanical basis, thereby assuring a minimum of beefing, it has been definitely Droved that the idea is feasible. And being feasible, naturally, nothing will ever be done about it.

—Stove League Chatter — BY EDDIE ASH

JOHNNY HODAPP, Cleveland | second sacker, waxed fat on his recent visit abroad and when in Indianapolis the other day said he was balancing the scales at 210. He plans to engage in gym work in Cincy, his home town, before going to New Orleans for spring training. The record book lists Johnny at 185 pounds, but he asserts the statistician made no allowance for “big league growth.” He is a six-footer and has spread out some the past few years and anticipates no trouble in reaching playing weight in short order. tt tt tt Cleveland’s connection with the Toledo Hens has produced dividends already, f.i 11 Sweeney, regular first baseman with the Boston Red Sox last season, was waived out of the majors and has landed with the Maumee team. He batted .295 in 1931 against American League pitching and is expected to become a consistent .1100 smacker of the horsehide in the Ameiican Association.

Cincinnati now has three first sackers, the other being Mickey Heath and Harvey Hendrick. Grantham is versatile, however, and can perform at second base or in the outfield. He will make the Reds a star utility pastimer if he fails to land a regular berth. George is swift on his feet and is a streak going down to first. He batted .305 last year and Hendrick .314.

STONE was one of the few big leaguers to pull up his batting average last year under the changed ball and no sacrifice fly rule. In 126 games in 1930 Jonathan hit .313 and collected only three home runs. In 1931 he was in 147 games and boosted his swat figure to .327 as well as raising his home run total to ten for the campaign. Stone collected 191 hits in the 147 tilts and was well up among the leaders in number of safeties. tt it tt Buzz Arlett, man mountain outfielder released in a player trade by the Philly Nationals to Baltimore, has changed bis mind about quitting baseball unless he is returned to the Pacific Coast League. When Buzz was demoted in the surpri e transaction he declared the Orioles would not see him in action, but recently Arlett relented to the extent that he advised Baltimore he would play if a juicy contract was sent his wry.

Two Track Records Tumble; Notre Dame Star Wins ‘6oo’

By Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. B.—Two new world’s records were listed today as the result of the annual Millrose indoor track and field carnival here Saturday. Gene Venzke, young New Yorker, shattered the record for the indoor mile run with a great 4:11.2 performance. The former was 4:12, held by Paavo Nurmi and Joie Ray and set in 1925. Venzke was in front all the way, and performed in such effortless style that few realized he had smashed the record. George Spitz, another New York youngster, leaped 6 feet 7% inches to anew world’s indoor high jump

Off The Backboard

■\7-OU can’t keep a good man down and I am carrying a sixshooter for the chap who says Mr. Tim Campbell of Technical isn’t a good man. After two severe jolts last weekend, Mr. Campbell’s boys were expected to take another one in the bread basket Saturday night when Frankfort’s Torrid Canines invaded the east side court. But true to form, the Tech boys pulled the big surprise, and made the Hot Dogs look like so much sausage. Mr. Chico Yarbrough, the Frankfort scribe, explains that Frankfort was off form. That they couldn’t hit anything. And that it was all a big mistake. I wonder if Mr. Yarbrough saw that swell Tech defense. I wonder if he noticed the improvement with Johnny Townsend and Huston in there at forward. And how much better big Edwards can play when things are breaking in his favor? Ole’ Backboard did. And two other visitors, Mr. Everett Case and Mr. Glenn Curtis, saw it too, I’ll bet. a tt a Mr. Slim Bailsman is a very disappointed young man, and I am inclined to believe that he is superstitious. There is an old adage in basketball that it isn’t a wise policy to win too many games during the season from a tourney rival. It is supposed to be fatal to win two scheduled games during the season and then play the same team in one of Mr. Ihsaa’s elimination events. Since Mr. Bausman’s Hot Dogs already had beaten Jefferson of Lafayette twice this season, he figured the best thing to do was to let the Bronchos win at least one game from his Hot Dogs before the regional tournament, in which they play again, providing some little guy does not interfere with the dopesters’ plans. With this in mind, Mr. Bausman kept Garrett and Locke, a couple of ballplayers who would be welcomed by any coach, on the bench Friday night. And then his own bail team crossed him up and beat the Jeffs, 21 to 20! Was he disappointed? And surprised? Now Mr. Bausman has the hard job of convincing his Hot Dogs that Jeff really is tough. tt tt tt Mr. Pete Jolly of Muncie is sitting on top of the world. Internationally or not. Mr. Jolly’s Bearcats took three big tumbles along In the middle of the season, and Just like that the wise guys counted the state champions out of the 1932 race. And now the W. G.’s who figured Mann and company had cracked In mid-season and were overrated, are begninng to wonder if the Bearcats aren't really underrated. tt tt tt On the other hands, you have callouses, finger nails and the Newcastle Trojans. All the time the Trudgers are going along | like Frank Wykoff. the experts are wondering just when they are going to run [ out of oil and burn out a couple of bear- [ ings. | But evidently the Rose City boys have made some refuelings. They show no signs of slowing down. In fact, they appear to have added a few miles an hour to their gait. tt tt tt Mr. Orville Hooker, the Newcastle chieftain. admitted recently that perhaps ihe Green and White bovs were stepping a bit too fast. "But what can a fellow do about It.” he asks. "I’m not putting on the oressure. and I tell 'em not to take It too seriously, but they want to win and I can’t stop ’em." And that artistic lacing Which the Tho-man-less Trojans handed Richmond last week convinces your correspondent tnat Orville is right. n m u THAT Mr. Johnny Wooden is about the best basketball player around these part just is common, everyday knowledge. Any bozo can tell you that. But now it comes to light that the brilliant Furdue hoopster also is a Barry Wood in the classroom. Mr. Wooden’s grades for the semester just ended shows four H’s and two A’s. To the bourgeois, H and A are just a couple of letters :in alphabet soup. But to us smart fellows, it means that bouncing Johnny has an average grade of i more than 95 per cent By way of explanation, H *4 an honor grade,

record, surpassing the mark he set last year. Emmett Topino, the Loyola flash, equalled the world mark of 6.2 for sixty yards in winning the sprint event. Alex Wilson, the Canadian and Notre Dame ace, won the Millrose “600” classic, coming from behind in the last 100 yards to beat a field of stars. Jimmy Hatfield, Indiana U. hurdler, ran a close second to Monty Wells, ex-Dartmouth ace, in the fifty-yard high hurdles. Orval Martin, former Purdue flash, was fifth in the mile event, and Tommy Warne, ex-Kokomo and Northwestern star, was third in the pole vault.

Awarded only in cases of exceptional ability, while A is the top grade. Very good, Johnny. To which the man at the next desk remarks: “Good, nothing. That’s perfect.” tt tt *tt In passing out the cake, cut off an extra large piece for Mr. George Keogan’s Notre Dame basketball boys. Back at the start of the season, the upstate Irishmen, including Krauczunas (Krause to you), lost a couple of ball games to Indiana and Purdue. Since then they’ve walked all over anybody who happened to be in their path. Asa final hope, they might throw Purdue in there with the South Benders in that round-robin charity tournament, and let the rest of the Hoosier teams sell peanuts and popcorn at the field house. tt tt tt Butler will attempt to solve the old Badger game at Wisconsin Wednesday night.

FAGG FUNERAL HELD Six Stablemates Are Pallbearers at Boxer’s' Rites. By Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. B. Funeral services for Johnny Fagg, 22-year-old Clinton boxer, who died following a'collapse in the Indianapolis Armory ring last Tuesday, were held here Sunday from the home of his mother. He was buried in Clinton by the side of his wife, who died a year ago. The Indianapolis American Legion, Indiana state athletic commission and Victory gymnasium, Indianapolis, were among the many who sent floral offerings. Six boxers, all Fagg’s stablemates, acted as pallbearers. They were Lou Vine, Jimmy Shannon, Jackie Purvis, Rosy (Kid) Baker, Frank Rosenstein and Larry Pruitt.

Olympic Bobsled Teams Held Up by Snow Storm; Will Run Tuesday

Fancy Skaters Take Ice at Lake Placid Winter Games. BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent LAKE PLACID, N. Y.. Feb. B. With the two-man bobsled races postponed until Tuesday because of •a blinding snowstorm the center of activities in the third Olympic winter games switched from Mount Van Hoevenberg’s precipitous slopes to the indoor arena and the men’s figure skating competition today. The indoor arena was crowded when the fancy stepping skaters, led by Gillis Graefstrom of Sweden and Carl Schaeffer of Austria, world’s champions, floated out on the ice. A goodly portion of the crowd was attracted to the arena by the hope of seeing Grafstroem and Schaeffer, probably the most bitter rivals in the Olympic camp, battle it out with figure eights, rockers and doo-dads. Other Stars Compete Although Schaeffer and Graefstrom were expected to dominate the event, there was a possibility that a member of the German, Canadian, Finnish, Japanese or Czecho Slovakian teams would have enough skill to give the two champions real competition. Interest in the finals of the 10,000-meter skating championship meter meter skating championship and the men’s figure skating competition have been increased a hundred fold by the whole-hearted dislike the athletes of both specialties have for one another. Just what will happen before, and after Alexander Hurd and Frank Stack of Canada; Bernt Evensen and Ivar Ballangrud of Norway, and Irving Jaffee, Valentine Bialas, Edward Schroeder and Eddie Wedge, all of the United States, decide the 10,000-meter champion, is something to think about. Hockey Results Canada's hockey team defeated Poland 9 to 0 Sunday and the United States team gave Germany a somewhat similar white-washing, 7 to 0. Emil St. Goddard of the Pas Manitoba, won the demonstration dog-sled race when his pack completed the 50-mile, two day trek in the total winning time of 4 hours, 23 minutes, 12 5-10 seconds.
