. By Joe Williams non Gus Dorais Blasts Coaches 9 u n Criticises Grid Forecasting 9 9 9 Says Tipsters Help Betting

YORK, Dec. 29.—The Grievance Committee of th( Amalgamated Order of Gridiron Masters was considering the case of Mr. Gus Dorais, coach of Detroit University today. It seems that Mr. Dorais, who will be remembered bj the gray beards as 50 per cent of the Dorais-Rockne com bination which showed the Army in particular and the East in general how the forward pass should be handled twenty years ago, has gone moral on the boys. In his capacity as chairman of the Football Coaches Assn., Mr. Dorais put the masters in the grease yesterday, indicting them for penny-snatching greed in capitalizing their positions off the campus, and for encouraging widespread gambling on college games. Such practices, Mr. Dorais told the masters, tended to cheapen theii profession and he urged that they be discontinued as a matter of decencj and principle. It has been a long time since any practicing coach ha 4 been so outspoken in criticism of his brethren and at press time they were reeling from the shock. a a a a a a In charging that the coaches encourage gambling Mr. Dorais referred to the custom of some of the masters in making weekly forecasts in the newspapers; these forecasts coming from the coaches themselves he implied, conveyed the hint of inside information and because of that fact they are doubly vicious. There is much that is sound in Mr. Dorais’ analysis and probably it would add to the dignity and self-respect of the coaches if they refrained from parading their great wisdom in advance of the Saturday games After all they are supposed to be building character along with Rose Bow] candidates. Also, it happens to be a fact that just about as much money is bet or college football games in this country as on horse races and it is conceivable that the coaches, because of their close connection with the sport, contribute in no small manner to the vast sums that are bet each week. a a a a a a FOR instance, if Mr. Lou Little of Columbia were to make the prediction that Alabama will beat Stanford on New Year’s day, a large number of people might be persuaded to believe that Alabama just couldn't lose; you see, Mr. Little is not only a top ranking coach, but he sent a victorious team against Stanford a year ago. It so happens that Mr. Little is a chronic football tipster and his weekly forecasts are widely syndicated, and presumably just as widely followed. Mr. Dorais thinks a coach who goes in for this sort of thing cheapens himself and his profession and I find myself agreeing with him. College football is afflicted with enough ills, real and fancied, as it is, including the growing menace of the professional game, and it would seem nothing more than good judgment on the part of its leaders, the Littles, et al.. to do everything possible to disarm the opposition. a a a a a a THE history of all sports has been that when it attracts the gamblers a scandal of major dimensions inevitably follows. There is no reason for any one to believe college football may prove the exception. If the ccaches’ association has the welfare of its personnel and the game at heart it will lend a very earnest ear to Mr. Dorais’ blast. As for the coaches capitalizing their positions in other ways, such as yowling into the microphones and indicting critical essays for the gazettes, this does not seem to me a serious matter. By now, everybody knows the gentlemen do not compose their own pieces, and even in such rare instances where they do, the product is something less than deathless literature. Aside from the tipster racket, I fail to see where the coaches commit any great affront to the idealistic character of their profession by picking up stray purses here and there. On the contrary I think this is a privilege to which they probably are entitled. a a a a a a YOU hear a great deal about the injustice of an economic arrangement which permits a coach to receive double the salary of a doctor of philosophy, but in the final analysis no coach is overpaid; his job always hinges on his ability to turn out a winning team and the enthusiasm of the alumni which rises or falls in propoy.ion to the team's success This being true, I see no reason to begrudge the coaches the few pieces of silver they may pick up posing as journalists or announcers. At the same time I heartily agree with Mr. Dorias that it adds nothing to their stature serving as touts and unwitting come-ons for the gamblers. And besides most of the time they’re wrong anyway.

JEFFERSONVILLE SNAPS BERRY WIN STREAK

Red Devils End Logansport’s String of 28 Wins With 21-14 Victory at Upstate School Southern Indiana Netmen Bottle Up Powerful Wellsmen With Solid Defense: Triumph Is Eighth in Row for Satans. BY PAUL BOXELL LOGANSPORT, Ind., Dec. 30.—From Jeffersonville, major net stronghold of southern Indiana, came five strapping hardwood giants yesterday to storm Logansport and snap the Hoosier supremacy of Berrytown's mighty state champions, masters of all they surveyed for nearly

a year. The Red Devils marched into Berry Bowl last night and humbled Logansport, 21 to 14, to put an end to a victory streak that extended over 28 games. It was win number eight for the undefeated invaders. An overflow crowd of howling fans witnessed the battle, and cheering was heavy for both teams as a last minute rush from Jeffersonville brought more than 750 Satan backers to the Berry goalry. Demon Wall Is Solid The Jeffersonville warriors, tall, husky and not a little rough, presented a defense that barred the Wellsmen from the under-basket area during the entire skirmish. The Berrys had the best of it in possession of the ball, but they couldn't crack through to the netting zone. They couldn't even turn to long distance firing. The towering Satans were set to smother every attempt from the field. Insley, Logansport’s j veteran pivot man, was held to one ; field goal and he tallied that from j far out. After the first few min- ; utes Insley controlled the tip-off from his taller rival, Thompson. The first quarter was a defensive j skirmish, with both squads evidently ' primed to sound out the opposing j bulwarks. Jeffersonville was first j to score, Andres piercing the net j on a short side shot. Carr and Finfrock of the Berrys connected on gift tosses, as did Grote, Demon -guard, to make the mark, 3 to 2, Jeffersonville as the period ended. Vance tallied a field goal and a 1 foul as the second period began and Logan forged ahead. But Johnson, Jeffersonville’s crashing goal expert, dribbled football style the entire length of the floor to knot the count. Thompson sped under on a fast break and rolled in two free throws for Jeffersonville, and Insley potted his lone goal to make the score, 9 to 6, Jeffersonville at halftime. Berries Miss Setups The Berries took several setup shots under the hoop as the second half began, but a field goal by Carr was the only Logan tally of the third period. The Red Devils outspeeded themselves in the threequarter session, missing a number of under-basket attempts as they crashed through. Andres hit a field goal and Grote slapped in a foul toss and the Satans led 12 to 9 as the final session began. Jeffersonville’s touted Johnson! opened up and counted six points! on two field goals and two charity throws in the final go. With the Demons leading. 16-9. Vance scored twice from the field and the Logan citizenry was up on its feet—back in the fight again. But Thompson tallied on a well-executed follow-in shot and Andres hit a free toss, while Carr was making a single point, to give the invaders the 21-to-14 margin of triumph as the gun cracked. Fouls Are Plentiful The basket eyes of both squads w T ere not up to their usual par. Jeffersonville hit seven times in 31 tries; Logansport was good on only five of 33. The battle was exceedingly rough and tumble in several spots. The intense warfare resulted in two black eyes, one player, Phillips of Jeffersonville, leaving the floor on four personals in the last quarter, and four other players winding up with three personal fouls. Johnson annexed a “shiner” when he smashed into porter on an under basket try, and Carr's forehead streamed blood after he charged into Andres under the Berry basket in the last quarter. Cliff Wells’ Berries, even in defeat, were far above the ordinary. They played clever, heads-up ball all the way, but they were under a strain—too many victories! Summary: Jeffersonville < 2l .

John Blue Tops League Bowlers With 701 Series Underwood Transfers Take Three Games as Illinois Alley Manager Posts Huge Total.

BY BERNARD HARMON John Blue, manager of the Illinois Alleys, and one of the outstanding tenpin knights of the city for many years, slapped out games of 246, 249 and 206 for a 701 total in the Washington League last night. Blue, a member of the Underwood Transfers, was the eighteenth bowler to pass, the 700' mark during the season’s pastiming, and his big series gave the Transfer team a three-time win over the Quaker State Oils. A 629 by Bill Sargent and a 599 from John Barrett for the Wooden Shoe Beer team failed to offset a 663 by Ley of the Schmitt Insurance team and the Insurance boys won a two-out-of-three decision. Frank Black with 626 carried the Leonard Coal Cos. over for a triple victory, the Indianapolis Paint and Color Cos. taking the drubbing. No 600 series appeared as the Capitol Ice and Hoosier Optical teams tangled in a series, taken by the Ice team via the shutout route. King’s Indiana Billiards and Coca Cola teams were unopposed in their series. Paul Stemm, with his twentysixth 600 count of the season, a 656, led the individualists as the Fountain Square Recreation League went through their paces at the Fountain alleys. Eight other individuals passed the 600 line during the session. Red Mounts, with a 626, was the high point man in the Polar Ice & Fuel Co.’s triple win over the Falls City Hi-Bris. Ray Robertson’s 580 was the best the Hi-Brus had to offer. Stemm’s leading total did not get much support from other members of the D-X Gasoline team and they lost a pair to the Fox Jail House, who had George Meeker, with 614, and Raymond Fox, with 606, as their leading individuals. The Fox team closed with a 1031 game to give them their odd game edge. Freddie Schleimer and Joe Danna re-entered the 600 class last night and with totals of 626 and 601 put the Coca-Colas over for two-time victory in their series with the Weber Milks. The losers failed to produce a 600, Don McNew’s 566 being the nearest approach. The second place Indianapolis Towel Supply team tangled with the first place Cook’s Goldblumes, but failed to cut down the leaders’ percentage, the Cookmen winning two of the three games. Jess Pritchett Sr. topped the individual totals of the winners with a 640 series, while Paul Striebeck, with 605, and John Murphy, with 601, were outstanding for the Towel team. The Goldblumes had a 1007 middle game, while the losers were over 1000 in two of their contests, geting 1002 and 1019. In the St. Joan of Arc League at the Uptown alleys, A. C. Crum Jewelers and Missouri Pacific took shutout victories over the J. J. Blackwell and Sons and DufTv Malt Foods teams. M. H. Farrell Granites won twd from the Bjrrett Coal Cos., American Estates took a pair from the Wonder Bars and the Pittman-Rtce Coal grabbed an odd game decision from the *avey, Optometrists-.

In the Hillcrest League at the Pritchett alleys, Wailie Pietz topped the individualists with a 615 total, as his Selmiers Caddies made a clean sweep of their series with the Youngs Drivers. Warrens Traps and Kempers Divots were double winners over the Spicks Stymies and Woods Irons. Three 600 totals emerged from the weekly session of the Bankers’ League at the Pritchett Alleys. Herb Lawrenz was top man® with a 643. Carl Koepper connected for a 638 and Glen Turney totaled 623 for his series. The Merchants National Bank and Indiana National No. 3 took triple wins over the Public Service No. 1 and Public Service No. 2 teams, as the Indiana Trust and Union Trust copped two-to-one decisions from the Indiana National No. 1 and Indiana National No. 2. The Railroad Men's Building and Savings Assn, was the only team failing to make a clean sw-eep of their series during the weekly session of the Construction League at the Pritchett Alleys. They won twice from the Spickelmever Fuels, as the Domestic Insulators, Brandt Bros. Cos.. Stewart-Carey Glass Cos.. Hayes Bros, and H. C. Ent. Materials were taking three each from the Pittsburgh Plate Glass. Johnson-Maas Lumber Cos.. Freyn Bros., Geiger-Peters and the W. P. Jungclaus Cos. The race for individual honors was a three-cornered affair. McVev leading with a 630. Langbein posted a 627 for second honors while Horn took the show position with a 625. In the Block Optical Ladies’ League, bowling at the Pritchett Recreation. Marott Shoe Cos., Bowes Seal Fast, Meeker's Five and Coca-Colas won triple victories over the Real Silk.

Hilda Zimmer with the aid of a 220 took the runner-up position with a 568, while Melen Weise r s 554 was good for third place. After a poor start at 129, Alice Shea finished with a pair of 200’s for a 544 total. Two series were completed in the Optical League at the Indiana alleys last night, the Fox Opticals and Continentals winning three times over the Paramount Optical and Optometrists. Bauer’s 573 was good for the individual honors of the session. Walter Harshman connected for a 626 series in the Standard Oil League at the Parkway alleys, thereby carrying off the individual honors of the evening. Walt Eickman finished with an even 600 to take the runner-up position. The Check Department made a clean sweep of their series with the Service Station No. 4. Other teams won their series by 2 to 1 scores, the Station No. 1, General Bookkeepers, Station No. 2 and Station No. 3’s winning from Record Department, Indianapolis Plants, Construction Department and Industrials. The Travelers Insurance won two from the Equitable Life of New York and *he Hoosier Casualtys bested the New Amsterdams in the only completed series of the Insurance League at the Central alleys. The Inspection Bureau was without competition. Moores 579 was the leading individual scores of the session. C. Baker failed to reach 600, stopping one short at 599, but this total was good enough to top all individual counts in the Presto-Lite League, bowling at the Central alleys. Machine Shop won three times over the Generators, Maintnance shut out the Assembly and the Engineers took a pair from the Office. O. Smith with a total of 556 led the individualists of the Schwitzer-Cum-mins League at the Parkway alleys.

The eighth annual 200 Scratch Singles will get under way at the St. Philip alleys tonight with the largest entry in the history of the tournament. Wit hthe leading bowlers of the city participating in this event, scoring of the highest colibre should result, and past records will probably go into the discard. However, with the tourney, being conducted on a handicap, basis, some low average kegeler may find the alleys to his liking and wind up in the drivers seat. The event will wi*d up tomorrow. ey eiing.

Shortridge Scores 19-11 Win Over Tech in Holiday Basket Clash at Butler Fieldhouse Blue Devils Lead Throughout and Hold Green and White Squad Scoreless in Second Quarter: Northsiders’ Second Five Victorious; 6000 See Tilts. BY WAYNE FOX Shortridge High School fans were celebrating in high glee today the double triumph of the North Siders over their most traditional city rival, Tech, in a holiday basketball feature at Butler Fieldhouse last night be-

fore more than 6000 persons. The main event of the evening was to have been a clash between the varsitys of the schools, but the Blue Devils kept thrills at a minimum by starting off in the lead and battling through to a 19-to-ll victory without ever being headed. Six fouls were called before either team scored, so close was the guarding ajid general tussling. An overtime tilt between the second fives of the two schools just about stole the show by going into an overtime. Shortridge B won, 29 to 28, when Schwartz made a free throw. Garrett of Shortridge sent the game into the extra period with a field goal in the last few seconds. Dobbs Starts Tech ScoringIn the regular game, five free throws bounced off the basket before Kitzmiller sank one for Shortridge on the sixth personal foul of the clash, and Stevenson made it 3-to-0. Blue Devils. Dobbs sniped a long field goal for Tech to make it 3-2. Then Coach Kenneth Peterman's squad went to work under leadership of Mueller and Kitzmiller and when the quarter ended the North Siders.were out in front 9 to 4. Pack, Shortridge football star, went in at center for palmer, after the latter had committed two fouls. The second quarter was the one that capsized the Green and White. Tech never made a point the entire quarter and Shortridge rar. the count up to 13-4. Keeping up their air-tight guarding in the third quarter, the Blue Devils ran the score to 16-4 before

Baer Knocks Out King fish in Second Round of Fight Heavyweight Champ ‘Paralyzes’ Levinsky With Left Hook to Mar Slugger’s Clean Record. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 29. Lips bared back from his teeth, left cheek red and left eye swelling, Max Baer circled around the ring following his foe as 14.701 persons came to their feet in a mighty roar. He caught him along the ropes near a corner. S-W-I-S-H! A left hook delivered from the hip caught King Levinsky on the comer of the chin. He wavered for a moment in mid-air, then toppled on his slioudler blades. The punch paralyzed him.

Referee Tommy Thomas slowly tolled off the count: One to 10. King Levinsky had been counted out for the first time in his pugilistic career, embracing 77 battles —including bouts with three champions: Jack Dempsey, Jack Sharkey and Primo Camera. He didn’t get up. He was cleanly knocked out. His handlers pulled him to his corner. He didn’t know what time it was. That’s how Max Baer, heavyweight champion of the world, knocked out King Levinsky, Chicago, in the second round of a scheduled four-round battle last night at the Chicago Stadium. The time of the finish was 53 seconds of the second round. Levinsky had won the first round when Eaer chose to clown. Between rounds Baer didn’t even sit on his stool. He took his rest standing up. and came out swoling, ready to battle. Baer waited in his corner until Levinsky reached the center of the ring. Then he moved out slowly, stalking. The King threw a couple of ineffective punches. Max moved in close and smashed both fists to the body. He drew back and then moved in again, sinking left hooks deep in Levinsky’s midsection. Another series of punches sent Levinsky in swift retreat. As King moved backward along the ropes, hurt and in distress for the first time in his career, Baer grew vicious. When he caught Levinsky again, Max ripped in a right that hurt. Then that vicious left came up from the champion’s hip, and caught Levinsky flush on the chin. It was a perfect punchy delivered like a champion: The crowd rose in a wave and watched as Levinsky fell unconscious and Baer calmly moved to a neutral corner. It was all over in a flash. In the dressing room after the bout Baer’s manager, Ancil Hoffman, announced Max would defend his title next September in Chicago. Last night’s bout drew gross receipts of $29,985.63. Baer’s share was 40 per cent of the net, Levinsky’s 15. Baer weighed 211, one pound more than he did when he won the title from Camera last June. Levinsky weighed 201.
