Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

LAKD PLAOID, N. Y„ Feb. 9. I suppose the most surprising thing about these winter Olympics, apart from the incredible fact that one or two of the competing nations are still on speaking terms, is that the American skaters have been taking the boys for a sleigh ride. There have been four speed races decided up to now and American skaters have won them all, the two sprint races going to Jack Shea, Dartmouth sophomore and son of a local butcher, and the two stamina races going to Irving Jaffee, broker's clerk who learned his stuff in the hot house rinks of New York. Even making due allowance tor the fact that the races here are skated on a competitive. man-aaalnst-man basis, as oonosed to the European custom of *kati;is; against the clock, the complete rout of the foreigners comes close to being a sensational upset, and might be linked, in effect, to the Athletics being beaten bv a Japanese college nine. Only the Canadians have been a threatening factor. The Norwegians, reputed to be the best Ice skaters In the world, have not gotten off first base. They managed to place Evensen second in the SOO meters and Ballangitid In a Similar snot in the 10.000 meters —or the IG.IM'O sauawks as the event has come to be known. The 10.000 meters, which was the main competitive event of Monday, went to Jaffee, a sturdy limbed, sharp featured blonde who skates with long, power, ul strides, and Is distinguished for his ability to turn on a roaring burst of speed in the stretch run. Like La Garbo, he has that extra something. Jaffee was the unofficial 1928 winner in the 10.000 meters, failing to receive formal recognition when the race was calleci off after the first heat on account of melting Ice. Jaffee beat Evensen to win nie onlv heat finished. Bv winning Monday he confirmed the suspicion that he Is the best distance skater In the business. * tt THE result was a crushing blow to the popular theory that life In the open and large draughts of God’s fresh air make superman. The Norsemen are weaned on ice and spend practically all of their time communing with nature. Ir. Jaffee’s case it is demonstrated that the stuffy atmosphere of subways and cigar box rinks is vastly superior. It wasn’t a bad race to watch either. I mean after the boys got through dawdling around on the ice. The test was twenty-five times around the 400meter course. To all practical purposes the first twenty-four laps might as well be played over a pinochle table. Nobody sets a pace, and nofeody tries to go anywhere. With the start of the final lap or bell lap as they call It, because the clerk of the course rings a school recess bell to wake ’em up, the boys move into high gear and from that point on it becomes a smashing drive around the ice, and plenty stirring. Jaffee Jumped into the lead early and held It an the way around. Turning into the stretch he put on the pressure and came bounding over the last 100 meters like a Twenty Grand. There was something appioachlng drama at the finish. Jaffee collapsed and went sliding along on hia tum-tum for about twenty yards, after the quaint manner of Frankie Frisch eliding into third. Weage, another American also toppled over in a heap apparently badly spent after the six mile adventure, though some of the four minute eggs in the press box scoffed at the performance as smacking of Phil Scott's specialty. A couple oi considerate attendants picked Weoge up and then dropped him vigorously on his noodle, thus producing a complete kayo. It was hinted that this was a plot contrived by visiting good-will ambassadors, but I wish to be recorded as a dissenter to such an evil Implication. X>f course, Its may be that they Wedge for Jaffee. n tt tt INCIDENTALLY, the dove of peace which has been hovering over the snow-mantled hills for the last two days may be forced to seek more peaceful surroundings very soon. I understand that Jaffee is getting ready to put on a sizzling blast against the way the American squad was handled or mishandled. It appears that the fever of rancor that has swept through the meet hit the Amcricr.n squad and split it wide open. Jaffee is around telling people that some of his own teammates conspired to bring about his defeat, that they heckled him. wouldn't let him sleep and In other ways made him feel very disconsolate indeed. When it was decided to re-race the second heat of the 10.000 meters following the disqualification of Stack, the Canadian and the subsequent threat of all the Canadians to leave the show flat If the decision stood. Jaffee, among others, refused to enter. "Whv should I race again?” Jaffee demanded. "I had nothing to do with the disqualification” (wjjich was based on Stack's alleged fouling of Evensen). At this point young Shea, the local idol, walked into the meeting and appealed to Jaffee’s sense of national loyalitv and patriotism, the appeal finally reaching a high point pf eloquence when Shea called Jaffee yellow. "I’ll take that charge of yellowness up i With you after the meet.” Jaffee answered. •'But In the meantime. I will let you have my skates and you can go out, and race for me and all that you claim these races stand for.” . ...... Ultimatelv Jaffee went out. but this was the incident which brought to light the delightful feeling that apparently has existed among the Star-Spangled entries from the start. Sport-for-sport's sake seems to have toined up with that other myth a ear-tn-everv garage and a chicken in every dinner pail.

DARING BOBSLED RIDERS HIT SLIDE AT PLACID

Fast Action Is Promised Two-Man Teams Scheduled First; America Sweeps Skate* Races. SWISS SLED IS FIRST By United Press LAKE PLACID, N. Y., Feb. 9 Reto Capadrutt, young Swiss driver, led the field today when the preliminary heats of the two-man bobsled competition of the third winter Olympic games were complete. The two final heats will be run Wednesday. Capadrutt had a total of 4:13.09 for the two heats, having done the first in 2:05.88 and the second in 2:07.21. His first run established a new world record and this mark was broken in the second heat when J. Herbert Stevens of the United States made the run in 2:04.27. This latter run", coupled with Stevens’ first heat time of of 2:13.1, placed him in second place. Stevens’ total time was 4:17.37. BY HENRY~M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent LAKE PLACID, N. Y., Feb. 9. With the four Olympic speed-skat-ing championships tucked safely away in Uncle Sam’s vest pocket, sports enthusiasts turned for thrills today to the icy bob run on Mt. Van Hoevenburg where bob-sledders were scheduled to begin their hazardous competition. With memories of Irving Jaffee’s spectacular victory in Monday’s 10,00(J-meter skating final still fresh in their minds, enthusiasts plodded through knee-deep snow today to watch twelve two-man bob teams, representing eight nations, flash down the slide’s glaring ice in their races against stop watch and catastrophe. Brothers on One Sled Two heats in two-man competition were carded to be run today and two heats Wednesday. Winners will be determined by the times made in the heats. The United States No. 1 team is piloted by J. Hubert Stevens and braked by his brother, Curtis Stevens. The other United States team is made up of John R. Heaton, driver, and Robert H. Minton, with Raymond F. Stevens as reserve. The United States became the * first nation to win all four skating laurels when Jack Shea of Lake Placid won the 500 and 1,500-meter events, and Jaffee took the 5,000 and 10,000-meter races. America Cleans Up Jaffee finished in a nose dive Monday as he breasted the tape in the 10,000-meter contest and skidded fully twenty feet. on his face. He finished fully three yards ahead of Ivar Ballangrud of Norway. Frank Stack of Canada came third, with Eddie Wedge of Detroit, Valentine Bialis of Utica and Evensen of Norway coming behind the first three, in the order named. The time was 19:13 6-10. While Jaffee was winning the 10,000 meters at the stadium, fig-ure-skating competition got under way at the arena. Winners of this event will be announced tonight, following continuation of the contest. Canadian Girl Wins Jean Wilson of Canada won the 500-meter women’s speed-skating demonstration, after trailing until the field was well in the home stretch.

Off The Backboard

TROUBLE seems to follow Mr. Everett Case around. Next to Mr. Tim of the Tech Campbells, Everett probably has more worries than any of the rest of the gentlemen (and others) who are paid to tell the Hoosier high school boys how to play basketball. (This latter statement does not include columnists.) When Casey moved to Anderson, he stepped into a tough spot. And even if Casey does look best when the going is tough, he’s going to do some tall worrying from now on. Before Evvy can start thinking about the regional tournament here, he must have his Anderson Indians dispose of Lapel and Alexandria in the sectional. And that's going to take some hard work! > tt tt tt Lapel always has been touch for Anderson. With Alexandria steppinc alone handsomely. Lapel has been coastinc alone in the shadows. But that ole debfcil statistics has caueht up with the Bulldoes. and the bie expose reveals that Mr. Scott Lane’s pastimers have won seventeen tames and lost two. and have scored more points than any other team in ihe state. Alexandria Is takine it easy, eettine ready to shoot the “woiks” aeainst Mr. Case's boys. And Lapel is doine the sane. You’d be worrying, too, if you were in Casey's place. tt tt tt And lust off hand, vour correspondent w;ll wager he can tell vou where to address all communications for Mr. Case on next Saturday night. Alexandria invades Lapel. Anderson’s Indians are idle. Mr. Case' also will invade Laoel. Everett is Rettine to be auite a travelinß man. He was amonc “them” present at the ’■’echFrankfort eame. Undoubtedly he came to see Frankfort. Oh veahl n an Ole’ Backboard gets a big chuckle out of the latest explanation of Tech’s lacing at Newcastle.. (All right, I promise I won’t metion it again.) The latest “explanation’’ comes from Jeffersonville, H. McGregor. who writes under the heading of Hardwood Gossip, says that in answer to many inquiries, he is going to explain that Newcastle. 35: Tech, 8. “Under the modern system of basketball a big fast team can keen possession of the ball about two-thirds of the game. Newcastle did this and Tech auit cold.’’ Newcastle big? Mavbe I’ve been watching their freshman team! McGregor also mentions “legalized blocks.” They ain't, mister, they ain’t. tt tt tt “BEDFORD SUB FLEET FOUNDERS ON ARTESIAN BREAKERS” “Inexperienced Crew Fights Bravely on Local Deck as Red and White Craft Dives.” Gradv Bennett must have had a wet evening w-hen he wrote that streamer and head for his Martinsville 32-Bcdford 27 story. n tt Two more Hoosier prep coaches are reported ready to move.

THERE are thirty-six players on the roster of Ownie Bush’s Minneapolis Millers and it’s up to Mike Kelley, president, to trim the squad to twenty-five before the club goes south for training. Pilot Bush and Kelley conferred some time ago and agreed on the athletes marked for release. During the regular American Association season the limit is twenty, and Mike Kelley says he’ll probably be giving away pastimers for railroad fare by that time. There is no market for minor leaguers at present, clubs below Class AA demanding that talent be sent “on the cuff.” n tt a The Millers will report at the Montgomery (Ala.) camp on March 1 and will do little traveling for exhibitions. Early games will be played in Montgomery. Birmingham. Selma and Nashville. The sauad will move„ direct from Nashville lo Indianapolis to open the season out at Perry stadium..

ORAL HILDEBRAND followers in Indianapolis may see the bean pole in action again next season as a member of the Toledo Hens when Bib Falk’s athletes march on Perry stadium. Scribes in Toledo say Hildie is slated to be farmed to their team by Cleveland and are using pictures of the tall Hoosier to cheer up their fans. Oral may fool the guessers, however, and compel Cleveland to keep him on the big league pay roll. He won two games and lost one in the big show last fall rfter Cleveland recalled him from Indianapolis. it tt tt The outright release of Bill Sweeney, first sacker, to Toledo by the Boston Red Sox is a threat to Eddie Morgan, Cleveland’s holdout guardian of the initial sack. Cleveland controls the Toledo team and will be in position to obtain Sweeney at any time. Bill resides in Cleveland and was developed on the sandlots there. Morgan's understudy at Cleveland is (Sruce Connatser. up from the New Orleans, who doubtless will be shifted to the Hens if Sweeney is moved back to the majors. tt tt tt Sidney Weil, president of the Cincv Reds, was scorched a plenty in the stock maiket and in baseball, but he isn’t down vet. The prexv entered baseball as a strange>* to the game and it cost him to learn the pitfalls. Right now. however. Weif is enjoying the respect of many big league writers owing to his friendly attitude and sportsmanship. With two poor seasons behind him. as well as financial reverses, the Cincy leader refuses to part with his best players and is standing up for his home town in the face of rich' offers. Several clubs have tried to lure him on such outstanding athletes as Red Lucas. Si Johnson. Tony Cuccinello and Joe Stripp. It’s possible, of course, that Weil will be forced to sell at least one to obtain spring training money. The annual trip south requires cash to the amount of bout $15,000. tt tt it Bobby jones, the golf king, has been stung by the baseball pennant bug. He is secretary and vice-president of the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern Association and is determined to win the league championship for his home town.

Barron was a star athlete at Georgia Tech when Jones was a student there, and when both gained national fame, Barron in football and Jones on the links.

He’s Not the Dempsey of Old, But He’s Still Good

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent TV/fTLWAUKEE, Feb. 9. —The Dempsey of 1932 is a long fray from the Dempsey who conquered Willard, Miske, Brennan, Carpentier and Firpo. But Dempsey is far from finished as a fighter. He has a chance, and a good one, to whip himself back into shape. Whether it will be good enough to win back for him the heavyweight title is a question that only can be settled by actual combat. The surest thing about the new Dempsey is his punch. His legs may go back on him, his stamina may desert him, and he may become weary of body, but Dempsey’s punch probably will remain as long as he lives. Dempsey proved he punches just as viciously as ever in the opening of his second exhibition tour here Monday night before J. 877 persons who paid $14,970 to get a glimpse of him in two bouts of two rounds’ duration. Wearing ten-ounce gloves Dempsey had his two opponents on the floor five times. He dropped Buck Everett, 187, Gary, Ind., four times in the second round, and he floored Jack Roper, 193. Los Angeles, once in the last round. If Dempsey had been wearing six-ounce gloves Everett, probably would have been counted out. * tt r T'HE flaws visible in Dempsey’s work Monday night were his total absence of defense, his laborious breathing and his tendency to cut and bleed easily over the eyes and on the lips. Dempsey never did have any defense. His offense was his defense. Now he does not charge to the attack as recklessly and relentlessly as he did in his prime. Everett and Roper both landed punches at will to Dempsey’s head and body. Dempsey took them, and kept walking in for more. Roper hit him a left hook in the last round which rocked Dempsey’s head backward, but it apparently didn’t hurt him. Dempsey was puffing hard from almost the first minute until the end of the twelve minutes, but in justice to him it must be said that he has been bothered by a cold for several weeks. It is also true that he didn’t puff any harder at the finish than he did in the first round. n n h EVIDENCE that Dempsey is improving with every exhibition comes from many sources, but none j is better qualified to offer testimony on that score than Roper, who had boxed Dempsey two rounds in Kansas City and one round in St. Paul previous to Monday night’s bout. “Dempsey is 100 per cent better than when I met him in Kansas City,” said Roper. “He is stronger and punches faster and sharper. I tried Monday night to grab his arms and spin him, and I couldn’t budge him. If Dempsey’s legs were weak he couldn’t prevent me from spining him. He’s as strong as a bull in his legs. If he keeps on improving as rapidly as he has in the last two and one-half months, I would like to see hi mfight Schmeling in about six months, and I think Dempsey would knock hyn out.”
