Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, Feb. 12.—Your correspondent Is back on the home grounds today on account that he can not stand warm weather. Overnight icc-robed Lake Plafcid turned tropical, and this was most discouraging to a tenderfoot who had devoted a fortnight to getting accustomed to igloos, Eero temperature and hot brandies. Looked at from a New York angle It was a vicious caprice on the part of old Ma nature, and I am wondering just what I wiU do with those long woolen underpants, those ear muffs and those electrical glove warmers. Perhaps I can turn them over to Commander Richard Byrd at ctlt rates. rate cut or otherwise. Lake SlSilr , .* a ® a desolate Diace Thursday, when the thermometer beams to rise and the k.e starts to melt the pleasant Essex County resort Is lust another flair station, where Miami Beach has only sun to sei', the upstate village Is practically Insolvent when a thaw seta in. The sudden cnange came at an Inopu2f. tlnie - too. A lot ol special trams had tilled the place with visitors, eager to experience an Arctic flush, along with a glimpse of the bobbers and the skiers v.ho are up there competing In the third winter Olympic games. A local Chamber of Commerce was emharrased to a point of lncoherencv. One of the board members v.as disposed to blamt conditions on the Ai Smith statement. which Indicates that the great commoner no longer Is interested In the presidency, unless he can get the nomination and along with It the necessary number of votes. Another faction was inclined to attach an unpleasant significance to the presence of .Mayor Jimmy Walker, author of the well-known classic. "Will You Love Mo in December as You Did in May.” Thursday was more like Mav than December, or even February, and while Mr Walker was received, v,lth a studied courtesy it was obvious to all that the reception at no lime achieved the emotion of love. tt tt tt MR. WALKER appeared to be interested in the going'sion at the ski hill where thirtythree young gents of various nationalities shot down a long snow carpeted slide on bed slats far out Into space, like strange two-legged birds, They were trying to see how far they, could go before they came down and how formful they could <io it; In this sport, form is as important as distance. You can outjump the other fellow and still lose if you fail to stand up or finish off in a naturally graceful manner. Mr.., Walker watched seven or eight of the voufig gents go hurtling out in the general direction of the Canadian border and then asked, "What do they do for an •ncora?". The mayor is hard to please. Earlier In the day, the first heats of the four man bobrun championship had to be postponed because of a persistent rain which transformed the chute into a mile End a half long drain pipe, making it more suitable for rowing than bobbing. I got mv first load of skiing Thursday and It’s all right if you like that sort of stuff. I imagine there is even a certain' amount of fun for the individual who is being shot out of a cannon. But skijumping Is a grand show, and it must take plenty of courage. To the uninitiated, the choice between facing a Dempsey left hook and leaping out into a bleak nothingness with not so much as a pillow in the rear to break the fall ought to be an easy one to make. tt tt tt THE ski hill at Lake Placid measures approximately 300 feet over all. The upper hill, a wooden incline, resembling a Coney Island device, is 120 feet long. The skier stands at the top of this. And at a word from the starter he shoves off, approaching the take-off, which marks the end of the upper hill and the beginning of the lower hill. He i assumes a crouching position. The moment he reaches the take-off he ?ivrs a mighty lunge and flies out into he great open spaces, circling his arms to give added impetus to the flight. A good average Jump is about 175 feet, the distance being measured from the point, where the skier left the take-off Jnd landed In the downward slant of the ower hill. There is something uncommonly beautlfiil and breathtaking about sight of a human! fluttering through the clouds at a great height and over such distances. Thursday was a dreary day with rain falling from frowning skies and the snow melting away to ankle-deep slush, yet the horse shoe stands at the £oot of the Jump and the spidery wooden seats which rllmbed up each side of the run were pretty well filled with spectators. Most of them didn't know what it was all about. It didn’t matter. The spectacle was enough, and at frequent inervals roars of applause rolled across the mountains. You could close your eyes and well imagine yourself at Yankee stadium'with the Babe busting one. It was warm enough, anyhow.

SOUTHPORT BATTLES IRISH, TECH TACKLES ALICES

Shortridge, Purple Win Blue Five Drops Manual, Washington Thumps Roachdale. Two important battles tonight held the attention of local high school cage followers today. Southport's vaunted Cardinals, Marion county champions and strong contenders for local sectional honors, invade Cathedral to battle the strong Irish quintet, while Tech journeys to Vincennes to tackle the fast-stepping Alices. Shortridge and Washington were winners in Thursday night encounters here. Kenny Peterman’s Blue Devils nosed out Manual in the annual city rivalry fray, 24 to 20. Roland Jones’ west side Continentals thumped Roachdale, 35 to 23. Southport Favorite Tech, back among the leaders after the triumph over Frankfort here Saturday, is given a strong chance of surprising the downstate Alices tonight. Vincennes, with a long string of impressive victories, is a topnotch state title contender. Southport’s husky veterans, beaten but once this season, are favorites to check the fast-stepping Irish. Brafford and Blackwell paced the Blue Devils to their decision over Manual, the former getting five field goals and turning in a stellar defensive performance. Loper and Thompson starred for Manual. The victors led 12 to 8 at the half. Bright Sets Pace Roachdale was unable to stop Bright, Washington’s brilliant pivot, and the Purple center snagged seven field goals to lead the Continentals to a 35 to 23 win. Howard and Leeper got three field goals each and Baumbach starred at guard. Call led the invaders, wjio trailed 19 to 11 at the half.

Off The Backboard BY VERN BOXELL

Mr. TIM CAMPBELL and his Tech boys are going courting tonight with Alice of Old Vincennes. If the big green boys from the east side hang a shiner on the equally as big green boys at Vincennes, it will be a big boost to the local stock. Your correspondent will be on hand for the goings-on, and will be disappointed if Mr. Campbell does not have some surprises for the downstaters, unless Mr. John Adams’ pastimers Metz things up. tt tt tt Southport Is all ready to de-emphasize the Irish out at Cathedral tonight, and most of the boys and girls will be surprised if the Cardinals miss their goal. Mr. Joe Dienhart’s team is a very good one, but that Southport outfit—they’re bad medicine for anybody’s team. tt . tt tt And the filberts who wanted to see Shortridge and Manual tear each other up out at the northside gym Thursday night had to wait out in the dark for an hour while the mechanics fixed up the lighting plant. Our Operative No. 37 reports that it was wasted effort on the part of the mechanics, because the boys could have played just as well in the dark. tt tt tt The S. R. O. sign has been tacked up at Shclbyviile, where Mr. Frank Newsom’s Bulldogs are to do battle tonight. Here’s one. that will keen the customers on their feet most of the time. They take their Basketball seriously in Shelbyville and Columbus, and even if they do have to do it all over again in the sectional, they’re going to have a lot of fun tonight. The winner? You pays your money and takes your choice.

Youthful Links Stars Shine in Florida Play

By yEX Service MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 12.—1n Winfield S. Day and Celeste Durand, two youngsters of the sunburn circuit, golf observers here profess to see a future champion—perhaps two. The uncertain question, as the observers see it, is which will arrive first as a big timer.

In a dozen matches with leading .amateurs in Miami and Miami Beach and in several tests with professional players, they have lost only once. Day is a Chicagoan who will be 17 his next birthday. He grew up with a golf stick in his hand. Durand is a New Yorker, just 18, who played his first round of golf three winters ago. Day is the more advanced at this stage. His tee and iron shots are straight and of average length. On the green, however, his play is amazing. Durand is a long hitter, a smooth swinger, but a trifle less consistent. Putting still offers him

trouble, but he is learning quickly. Durand is perhaps the better prospect, considering his experience. In his third year he is making his debut as a top flight golfer. Day is a consistent par battler, yet his game lacks the length of a Jones or a Sweetser.

Superior Glove Power Gives Tracy Edge Over Zorilla

Ten rounds of swift action was supplied by Tracy Cox, Indianapolis, and Santiago Zorilla, the Panama glove tosser, in the main go of ten rounds at Tomlinson hall Thursday night and Cox was awarded the honors on account of superior punching ability. It was a narrow squeak for Cox, who won because the visitor carried no dynamite in his blows. Tracy connected for many solid swipes that shook Zorilla, but the veteran Santiago proved he could take it and it was a dandy scrap for thrills. Zorilla was handled poorly

Mr. Norman Werry has switched again. It's Froebei that’s getting the bouquet up in the Calumet district where Mr. Werry Duneiand Dribbles. In ease you’re interested, the Froebei regulars are Unetich, J. Gracin. Mihalich, G. Gracin and Navicky. And the first string substitutes are Belko, Henko and Rado. Sounds like a Notre Dame football squad. Mr. Werry also passes along the information that La Porte won’t cause much trouble this year. They’ve got the speed, but they’re ’way short in height, Werry opines. T v tt tt tt Lebanon s Tigers, who soundly spanked Mr. Everett Case's Anderson Indians last week, are going Hot Dog shopping tonight up at Frankfort. Mr. Slim Bausman’s Frankfort boys already have taken two games away from the proteges of Mr. Neuman the Butcher. It took about eight points in the last three minutes to turn the trick the last time. Mr. Bausman is known to dislike the idea of winning too many games from a tourney rival during the season.

on the part of his seconds, foolishly sticking out his chin to be socked and passing up a switch to body attack. Cox jumped off to a swift start and it looked like quick curtains for Zorilla until he got his bearings and leaped into Tracy’s charges. Santiago evened up the tilt at the halfway mark and the closing sessions were filled with excitement, Cox finishing with enough to capture the laurels. % It was one of the few bouts staged by Tracy in which he backpeddled frequently. His stronger wallop saved him. The Times scored six rounds for Cox and four for Zorilla. with the margin of difference in some of the stanzas barely swinging the verdict. The first was Tracy’s best round and the fourth saw Zorilla at the peak. The show was promoted bv the Washington A. C. and drew a big house. Afternoon weights were announced as 134% tor Cox and 133 Vi for Zorilla. but Iracv seemed to be packing more pounds when the lads entered the ring. Al Holden, the Boston lightweight, had too many gloves for Rav Drake. Indianapolis. and tacked up a decisive win on points in six rounds. The eastern boxer ouicklv solved Drake’s southpaw style and the Hoosier was in distress at times Norman Brown. Indianapolis middleweight. was given trouble bv Sailor Koski. Boston, but piled up sufficient points to gain the verdict. Brown appeared to have a big edge in weight. Koski was "on the verge” more than once, but came back to stay the limit and made a fight of it. Speedy Ricco. Chicago bantam, and Kid Woods, Indianapolis, fought a close six stanzas with Ricco receiving the nod. Lefty Nicholson. Shelbyville, and Pug Smith. Indianapolis welter, threw gloves for four rounds, with the shade decision going to Nicholson. They substituted for Landrigan and Barbrick. In the opening four-rounder Eddie Dix. Indianapolis lightweight, flattened Everett Goens. Elwood. in the first round. The bovs mixed freely before Dix connected with the haymaker.

Bob Races Postponed Second Delay Forced by Rain; Norway Ski Stars Shine. BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent LAKE PLACID, N. Y., Feb. 12. Norway, its hopes for victory in the Olympic winter games, crushed by ! America’s unexpected sweep of the I speed-skating races, plans to die game. The men from the land of the midnight sun proved that Thursday when they stepped out and won the first four places in the combination ski championship to raise their team point score from nearly noth- | ing at all to an imposing 49.

Benjamin Harrison, announced today the weekly Tuesday night professional fistic entertainment at the army post during the summer has been dropped. He mentioned bad business conditions as one reason for ruling out the bouts. It also is assumed the army officers believe the boxing game is controlled to a certain extent by sinister influences around the country that interfere with independent promotion. At any rate, the Harrison athletic commissioners felt that outside sources placed obstacles in their path late last season. Following the announcement that boxing bouts are off at Harrison, it was learned that city promoters plan to stage weekly or bi-monthly shows at new Perry stadium this summer. It is said Steve Harter has been mentioned as matchmaker for the ball park programs.

Jack Stops Ohio Heavy Christner Is 26th K. 0. Victim of Former Champion. By United Press CLEVELAND, Feb. 12. Jack Dempsey had twenty-six knockouts to his 1931-1932 exhibition record today after stopping Meyer (K. O.) Christner of Akron. 0., in the third round of a scheduled four-round bout here Thursday night. Dempsey weighed 195, Christner 202. The paid attendance was 9,714 and the net receipts $27,972.99. Dempsey dropped Christner, who has fought all the leading heavyweights of the past three years, three times for counts of nine each and the fourth and final time for the full count. A left hook floored Christner in the first round, but Dempsey di<j not drop him again until the third round when a right cross toppled him. Dempsey appeared very tired after flooring Christner the last time with a sharp left hook to the head which opened a deep gash almost two inces long on Christner's cheek. Comment on Dempsey’s showing follows: Stuart Bell. Cleveland Press—Jack, whv don't vou retire? You aren't even a good hollow shell. You are through! Dan Taylor. Cleveland News—l have seen Christner fight ten times, and I never saw him take such a licking as Demnsev gave him with ten-ounce gloves. Dempsey's left hook is as good as ever. His legs are the Question. Promoter Joe Lewis—Demnsev drooped Christner with the most perfect right cross I ever saw. His left hook is dynamite. Demnsev doesn’t have to be as good as he used to be to whip the present day heavyweights. K. O. Christner—lf anvbodv thinks Demnsev Is through let them get into 'he ring with him. He mav be an old man. ..but he can still sock. See this cut. don't vou? That's nlentv of proof. Paul Gallico. New York Dailv News—The first half of the third round. Demnsev could do nothing whatsoever. Jack floundered, he over-reached, he clinched and his mouth was wide open. But Jack can still punch and will be able to until his dying dav.
