Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Nov, 18.—One of the few Republicans who survived the recent tidal wave of let's-try-somebody-else was Warren Barbour of New Jersey. For better or worse, sos laughs or tears, Barbour *as sent back to the senate. Os interest to us in sports is the fact that Barbour used to be a prize fighter. As an amateur heavyweight, he drew down such prizes as belts, medals, watches and what * ill the little boy with the blue Windsor tie have tonight. Barbour was the eon of a very wealthy Utreaa manufacturer. He dtdn t have to Inrht. He fought becauae he thought tt fun. He before my time, but the l?oya who Raw him say he was good. They even say he was good enough to make a go of It In the professional ring. I can Imagine this was true. At the same time, I think it is unkind Barbour was of the period which produced the white hopes-the Fred Fultons, the A1 Palzers and the Carl Morrises, any one of whom I am sure Mahatma Gandhi could have whipped without taking off his sheet. Still, it would have been interesting to s*e him make a try of it. There nave been so many promising amateur heavyweights and there have been so many who failed To mv knowledge only one ever roughed the top That was James Corbett. All the other great heavyweights were professionals practically from the start. And even in the case of Corbett there were extenuating circumstances. He was a member of an industrious, ambitious Irish family, a family that insisted that he become a business man. At heart Corbett was always a professional. He knew he crtuld flght. He knew that was all he wanted to do. He knew he could lick Sullivan. There seems to be a theory that the amateur In sports has a monopoly on spirit, and there is no sport with the possible exception of football that places a higher permium on spirit. For that reaosn. it, has always been a puzzle to me that the amateur heavyweight has always fallen short when put to the test. it it it 'T'HIB brings me up to the news A of the day. I read that Steve Hamas has signed for a flght in Newark against a pop-over. Hamas is making a come back. I think he is about 24 years old. He is a product of Penn State, where he was in all around athlete. About a year ago he electrified the boxing world by knocking out Tommy Loughran. I saw the flght. It was a finished performance. Up to that time the Broadway hangers-on didn’t know much about Hamas. To them he was just a big healthy guy who waa never late for his meals. There was a concerted rush to muscle in. It developed he had already signed & contract with Charley Harvey. They call Harvey one of the three honest men In the racket. Ask them to name the other two and—well, the answer is, "Let’s see now, there is what’s his name— Anyway, the kid had decided he wanted to be a prize fighter. He looked over the field. He decided Harvey was the man he wanted to be with. He sought out Harvey and asked him to take him. By degrees, Harvey worked him up to the Loughran match. I talked to Harvey before the flght. * "Don’t be surprised If this flght doesn’t list, a round" he warned. "Is he that bad.” I demanded. Harvey was almost right. It didn't last much longer, Hamas knocked Tommy cold. Biit. since then Hamas has done very little. An old football injury came back on him. He had to retire. During his retirement he lost 25 pounds. That indicates to me that the injury is not superficial. I doubt that he can come back. I'm afraid he is through just when he. was starting. So what? Well, It appears that even when you have a good amateur heavyweight something is bound to stop you. Either he has mllions like Barbour, or else he carries a grim heritage from the football field*.

The list of “selects” this week contains a group of classy grid performers. some of whom made the “first ten” in previous All-America ratings. Here are the aces honored for brilliant work in various games last Saturday: SAUER Nebraska—This powerful half back ran twenty-three times against undefeated Pitt, gaining 121 yards, in a scoreless tie. He made more yardage than Heller. Sebastian and Heinstock of Pittsburgh combined. HARDY Harvard—His spirited play against Holy Cross was an inspiration to the entire Harvard team, in a .hard-earned victory. Hardy, weighing 215. is a deadly tackier and powerful charger. MELINKOVICH Notre Dame—Cutting through the very heart of the entire Nwthwestern team, the big full back ran the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, giving Notre Dame a great advantage over a determined foe. For the remaining four quarters. Melinkovich was conspicuous in many plays. WILDER Columbia—For three quarters of the game, the Columbia line clearly outplayed Brown and Wilder was the principal factor. Sid Mercer. New York American, says Wilder was the best defensive player of the entire game, WILBUR Yale—Coach Crister of Princeton rates Captain Wilbur All-America and calls his leadership the chief obstacle in Princeton's nath to victory. Four times with Princeton five yards from ft touchdown, this tckle rallied his mates to a stubborn defense. NEWMAN Michigan—This consistent star scored twelve points against Chicago and had his best afternoon of the season. Returning a punt in the first quarter he raced seventy-five yards through a scattered field for a touchdown. In the final ouarter. the versatile quarter back skirted the flanks for twenty-nine yards and another score. PHASE Brown—Here is a fine kicker, a smart director of tactics and acclaimed one of the best quarter backs of the season Against Columbia. Chase plaved championship football and topped off his performance with a kick that scored the winning point. RAYBURN Tennessee—This tall, rangy end. can box a tackle and break up interference with the best of them and is one of the best pass receivers in the south. His tackling against Vanderbilt was an important factor in a scoreless tie. FAIRMAN Princeton—Great defensive plav of the Tiger end prevented Lassiter and the Yale offense from scoring many long gains Making a neat catch, he carried the dsss that scored for Princeton and twice batted down Yale passes in the shadow of the goal. McGuire Wisconsin—With the score tied, this scampering Irishman beat Minnesota with a sensational touchdown in the last 30 secopds. Previous to that. McGuire had scored two touchdowns, making one on the first kick-off of the game. He scored eighteen points against the rugged Gophers and rates All-America with special mention (Copyright. 1932. bv the Christy Walsh Syndicate! JADICK SCORES K. O. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 19.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
THE average sport fan well knows the usual things that happen when baseball players become disorderly on the diamond and engage in fisticuffs, but at football games the spectator is seated so far away from- the action he seldom realizes what is going on and nothing about, “bodily contact” that takes place when the helmet wearers start swinging their punches with k. o. intent. The above picture is one of the best ever taken of a college grid game “player riot” and will be the first concrete evidence to many grid fans that such things ever occur when teams of big universities meet. The photo was snapped during the Ohio State-Pennsylvania tilt at Columbus. The game was interrupted by a fight between Lew Hinchman. Ohio State captain, and Burnett, Pennsy end. It is said Hinchman scored a “technical knockout.”
State H. S. Title May Hinge on South Bend-Elkhart Tilt

Cruising in Sports BY EDDIE ASH
The story of the longest gridiron run of the current season is worth repeating here for Hoosier fans to guffaw over. It was a 200-yard run. twice the length of the regulation football field and was made before a crowd of 30.000 at the MinnesotaWisconsin game. The spectacular run won’t go in the record books, however, because no points were scored—only a lot of laughs that helped warm the freezing spectators. After McGuire ran ninety yards for Wisconsin for a touchdown the Badgers and Gophers lined up again following the kick-off. Suddenly a scared rabbit darted from behind the Wisconsin end zone, speeded straight down the field one hundred yards across the Minnesota goal line, reversed and skipped its way back again straight down the field for a second 100-yard dash and across the Wisconsin goal line and then out into the brush. The teams held up play and the crowd roared as the cottontail performed. tt u tt HEINIE MANUSH, Washington outfielder, may be seen back with the Detroit Tigers next year, it is rumored. He resides in Detroit, was a batting pupil of the great Ty Cobb and was a popular Bengal a number of years ago. It is said Detroit fans never approved the deal that sent Manush away to the St. Louis Browns, who transferred him to Washington later. He is a former American League batting champion. It is reported the Senators are willing to part with Heinie if the Tigers make an attractive offer. tt tt tt Charlie Schmidt, the old catcher who died in Arkansas recently, was one of the most courageous backstops in big league history. Injuries seldom kept him out of action and once he played through a world series with a broken finger. Schmidt was the first catcher to make four assists in a world series game. 1908, Tigers and Cubs. Schmidt also was the first receiver to start two double plays in one game of a world series, 1909, and the mark held up until 1921 when Wallie Schang tied it, playing with the Yankees. Schmidt was a particular friend and adviser of Ownle Bush when the little Hoosier went to the majors as a kid shortstop with Detroit.

Old Feuds Head Card Rivalries and Title Battles Draw Record Crowd of Season. BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Nov. 19.—More than 1,000.000 fans, probably the largest attendance of the year, were expected to witness college football games on this last “big” Saturday of the season, attracted by a banner program of traditional classics and decisive conference battles. Advance ticket sales indicated that 145.000 enthusiasts would attend the two feature tradition?! contests—Harvard-Yale at New Haven, and Stanford-California at Berkeley. Eighty thousand were expected at the latter game, and 65.000 to watch the Blue and Crimson meet for the fifty-first time. Irish Draw 75,000 Neither of these contests is of particular signifiance, outside the historical and financial aspects. Similarly, two big intersectional clashes which have no bearing on the championship situation, should draw 110,000 fans. The Navy-Notre Dame game at Cleveland was to attract 75.000. and the FordhamOregon State at New York, 35.000. Renewal of three other ancient feuds was to bring out 59,000, pitting Carneigie Tech against Pittsburgh. Georgia against Auburn and Rice against Texas Christian. Two of these games are of double importance. Auburn, co-leader of the southern conference, attempts to nail up the flag in its final game with the Georgia Crackers, and Texas Christian, leader of the southwest onference, meets its last formidable opponent in the Rice Owls, Big Battle Thursday, The east's championship game is delayed until Thanksgiving day when Brown and Colgate tangle for the title and probably for the trip to the Rose bowl. However, there are enough fireworks in the midwest to make up for this, as the Big Ten swings into its grand finale of five important combats. Michigan, leader of the Big Ten, tackles menacing Minnesota in its final game before an expected crowd of 30.000. A victory for the Wolverines wil lgive them the crown. Big crowds also were expected at the other conference battles, as Purdue, the runner-up, opposed Indiana; Northwestern faced Iowa; Illinois tackled Ohio State, and Chicago fought Wisconsin. Nebraska, leader of the Bix Six, attempts to clinch the title by trouncing runner-up Oklahoma before 15,000 spectators, and the Utah Utes sought their fifth consecutive Rocky Mountain Conference championship in their final contest with the Colorado Aggies.
