HUNK ANDERSON’S WARRIORS REACH N. Y.TO MEET CADETS

Notre Dame in Gotham; Underdog in Army Tilt Anderson Believes Irish Could Win With Early Score; Lieutenant Davidson Sends Charges Through Long Drill at White Plains Country Club. By Time Sp a\ N’EW YORK Dec 1. A sleek line of Pullmans seamed into Grand Central station here today and emptied into Gotham's teeming thoroughfares thirty-seven football players whose failures on the gridiron this fall have astounded the sporting world. The Notre Dame football team has arrived for its annual meeting wvh the Army, which almost 80,000 fans will watch out in the Yankee baseball stadium tomorrow afternoon. They were not. as Notre Dame grid teams usually are, one of the great elevens of the nation. And they were not greatly favored to have much chance against the powerful Cadet gridmen tomorrow.

They have bowed to five of their eight rivals in the 1933 campaign, and scored in only two games, piling up a total of nineteen points to win from Indiana and Northwestern. Hunk Hopes for Break But despite the poorest record that ever followed a Notre Dame team °ast to battle the West Point Cadets, the Irish are in good tem-p-r about tomorrow’s game. "If we should get a break and score early in the game we’ll be a hard team to grinned coach Hunk Anderson as he strode through the station to the taxi stands. The team went to a suburban country club to rest after their trip from South Bend, and they probably will be out this afternoon in a final warming up drill. West Pointers Arrive Anderson still is moaning over the cripple list which he says will include Don Elser. a half back, Kitty Gorman, the first string center, and , Hugh DeVore, captain in the Army ! game, and Notre Dame's best end. Young Lieutenant Gar Davidson also brought his squad into the j metropolitan area last night, put-! ting them up at a White Plains! Country Club, where he sent them j through a long drill that ended with | a dummy scrimmage against Notre Dame plays. The young West Point coach, who surprised the football world by turning out one of the best teams in the nation this year, was not optimistic about tomorrow's struggle. Davidson Is Worried It mattereff not to him that every one chooses Army to win. He remembers, although he was not coaching at West Point then, that last jear most of the experts selected Army before the game. And the final score was Notre Dame, 21; Army, 0. He also remembers that a year ago Anderson howled about injuries and an influenza epidemic diminishing his list of grid stars—and when the first whistle blew every cripple was on the field in top-notch condition. Lieutenant Davidson is fearful | that the Irish may find themselves and play real football tomorrow'. The material on Anderson’s squad should be able to lick almost anything, Lieutenant Davidson knows. Not once have they clicked this fall. And, he feels, they are about due. The law of averages maintains they must come through some time. Will it be tomoiTow? CENTENARY TAKES LOYOLA By Times Special NEW ORLEANS, Dec. I.—Piling up 28 points to their opponents 12, Centenary gridmen yesterday completed their second consecutive undefeated season. Loyola was the second team to score on Centenary this year.

Happy Day for Kleins

Bp* E I *

IT was an extremely happy Thanksgiving in the home of Chuck Klein, south of the city, and with the holidays approaching evea happier times are anticipated. In other words, a bigger and better Christmas is promised at the home of the National League's champion slugger. The picture above shows Chuck and his mother, Mrs. Margaret Klein, as they chatted over the new turn in the big boy’s baseball career in the repent deal that sent him from the Philly Nationals to the Chicago Cubs, a club with world series possibilities. Big league reports say the Cub?

Clinton Outplays Rivals, but Almost Loses Tilt

BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Writer CLINTON, Ind., Dec. I.—After allowing victory to slip from their grasp several times during the first forty-five minutes of a game with Washington of East Chicago here Thursday, Clinton's powerful high school football team was forced to stage one of the most thrilling and uphill drives in the history of Indiana prep football to gain a 6-& tie before the final gun barked. More than 5,000 fans looked on. Never seriously threatening at any time during the first three quarters and most of the fourth, in which they kicked twice from their own end zone, Washington suddenly braced, intercepted a pass in midfield and sent their star Negro half back, General Rollins, off to a twenty-yard jaunt around end. Zivich then took up the bail-tot-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

handed over more than SIOO,OOO in cash and three players for the Hoosier hercules. who has captured countless honors in the senior major league with his devastating bludgeon. The deal means that Big Boy Chuck will receive a sizable increase in salary and a better chance to break into a world series while he is at the peak of his career. Chuck plans to take his mother to Chicago next summer where she will keep house for her famous son and assure him of good old-fashioned home cooking.

ing, and with great drive worked toward the goal line in repeated assaults on the Clinton forward wall. Clinton’s defense stiffened inside the five-yard line for three downs but on the fourth Rollins dove over. A pass for the extra point was batted down. Up to this time Clinton had been entirely ’ superior threatening to score four times. Once Scotty Thompson allowed a pass to trickle through his arms in the end zone. Another pass was missed in the end zone and twice Washington’s torward wall, easily the better of the two on the field, held the Clinton backs on the 3-yard line, once in the first half and once on the one-foot-line in the second. Gili with his great open field running and Bibich’s passing to Vanzo, ! Thompson and Dal Sasso had sent | the ball to these advantageous spots. When most teams playing in such J scoring luck would have cracked wide open after seeing their opposi- ; tion captilize on their one scoring ; chance to hold a 6 to 0 lead with less than two minutes to play, Clinton fought all the harder. With Bibich and Vanzo hurling the oval to Thompson and Dal Sasso, the Wildcats swept down the field sixtynine yards after receiving the next kickoff, and in four plays Dal Sasso was in the end zone with the pass he fumbled and then caught as it went rolling out of his arms. Miller, a substitute, went in to place kick the extra point and it was headed true, but as it reached the line of scrimmage, up went the hand of a Washington lineman and the point was blocked. Washington received and held the ball until time elapsed. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. I. Central of South Bend captured the Northern Indiana high school conference championship here Thursday with a 14-13 victory over Whiting. The two teams captured the eastern and western division titles of the league respectively. Whiting during the regular season went undefeated but was tied twice by Roosevelt of East Chicago and Emerson of Gary, while South Bend Cen- ; tral was defeated by Washington of East Chicago, and tied by Elkhart and Michigan City. *•

‘Nail Hold’ Causes Row Indiana May Pull Out of Wrestling Body Over Chief’s Status. Suspension of Chief Chewchki. Oklahoma Indian and professional heavyweight wrestler, by Indiana today threatened to result in the state's withdrawal from the National Wrestling Association. The Indian was suspended by A1 G. Feeney, state commissioner of athletics, after complaints that the wrestler, had worn a contrivance that permitted roofing hails to protrude through the legs of his “trunks” in a match here. Feeney said today ne had received several telegrams from Harry L. Landry, Friars Point, Miss., president of the National Wrestling Association, asking the suspension be lifted. The state commissioner said he has written Landry that Indiana will be withdrawn from the national association unless the wrestler’s suspension is permitted to stand. Landry had asked that Feeney give his approval of Chewchki’s appearance in Missouri, Georgia and Tennessee on Dec. 3, 4 and 7, for matches allegedly scheduled prior to the Indian suspension.

Fighter Weds an Astor! Fiermonte Too Handsome for Ring Anyway, Former Manager Says; Mirrors Menace to Pugs.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Spec/al Sports Writer NEW YORK. Dec. I.—A prize fighter married into the Astor family the other day. It made much agitated conversation around Madison Square Garden and in other circles quite a cut higher in aristocracy. The prize fighter is one Enzo Fiermonte, an Italian. Offhand I can not recall any one of importance he ever fought, much less whipped. But he is—or was—important enough to have a manager, one of the many Johnstons of New York. And of Fiermonte this particular Johnston says: "If he hadn't been so good looking he would have been a champion.” Perhaps that is what is w'rong with the heavyweight division—the big

hooligans are too good looking. A movie siren lured Dempsey. A Blue Booker enticed Tunney to say quits to the sordid business. A blond fraulein led Schmeling to the altar. Only a jigsaw specialist in the heart game can foretell what is going to happen to Max Baer in Hollywood. Fiermonte was wedded ,to Mrs. Madeleine Force Dick at her bedside in a hospital where she is recovering from an injured shoulder. The lady is the widow of John Jacob Astor and the central figure is a beautiful drama of the sea. A ship was sinking. In accordance with the first law of the waters—women and children first—Mr. Astor stepped aside and made room for his young bride in one of the lifeboats. From the rim of the sinking ship he waved, and she waved back. nan YOU found it all rehashed in the newspapers when you read that the Astor widow married a prize fighter of alien birth. The implications are obvious. She has not been faithful to a sacred memory. You read also that she is to be ostracized by society. In short, :.he no longer belongs. Not belonging to any particular 1 society myself, perhaps I am not! competent to discuss the subject; j but since I have been able to distinguish between what is known in \ this country as society and just nice, | plain people I have no hesitancy in speaking my thoughts. I feel that the late Astor did a fine thing in giving his place in a lifeboat to a woman. But he did notjaing any other man would not have done in the same circumstances—in fact, no more than hundreds of others actually did in the same circumstances. So I think you can throw that out. It is easy to die when you know it is impossible to live. More than one prim person undoubtedly is going around today whispering: "Isn’t it awful, Madeleine marrying a vulger prize fighter —and to think that John Jacob gave up his life for her!" Personally, I think Madeleine—and she must accept the familiarity in good humor since she has joined out with the sports crowd—did a very forthright thing. I am for people who do what they want to do because they want to do it. Madeleine seems to belong to that category. Obviously she doesn't care waht the blue bookers or the blooders think about it. nun WHAT if Fiermonte is a prize fighter? Or even a palooka, Which he must be, since the records fail to show that he ever beat anybody of importance. How often do you pick up the newspapers and

read that the fragile heiress of some great rugged individual has married a count or a baron or a prince, ; whose value, at the rate of exchange, is exactly 30 cents net? Madeleine’s prize fighter at least, in the early phases of his Americanization, indicated an honest desire to make his own living by dint of manual labor. I think the only difference between Fiermonte and the royal gigolos that marry into Park avenue nobility is that the prize fighter had a slower time getting started. And, perhaps, in the beginning he did not know the compelling appeal of hair ointment. I hope no one will attempt to read into this article a brief for Fiermonte. I don't even know the guy. It may be that he has discovered he can capitalize lonely dowagers to a more profitable extent than his own dukes. I should say that that is his own business. What my point was at the start I am not sure at the moment. Probably I was attracted by the statement of one of the many Johnstons that Fiermonte could have been a champion if he had not been so good looking. I think this far fetched. And yet most of our champions and near champions have been good looking—at least at the start. The old boys tell me there never was a finer looking man than John L. Sullivan in his younger days, and John L. still remains a legend in American prize fight history. Almost up to the day of his death James J. Corbett, conqueror of Sullivan, was a striking figure. a a a JIM JEFFRIES was a boilermaker and always loked the part. Jess Willard was the most unathletic looking of all the heavyweight champions and the most uninspiring in action. Dempsey, Tunney, Sharkey and Schmeling all fulfilled the common conception of the perfect athlete. The day Dempsey announced his engagement to the Hollywood belle his former manager, Jack Kearns, told the newspaper men, ‘‘The guy’s through.” it turned out that way. that he wasn't? I know of only one fighter whose good looks definitely cost him a championship. That is Joe Benjamin, the Pacific coast lightweight. He was well on his way to succeed Benny Leonard when he took a gander at himself in a mirror. Shortly thereafter he was a Hollywood husband. Madeleine’s good looking prize fighter apparently intends to remain good looking at any cost — provided, of course, that the cost is charged to the proper account.
