U. S. MAY HOLD OLYMPIC PREVIEW

Record Holders From Many Countries Invited to Meet by Eastern Athletic Clubs European Athletes Slated to Set Pace in Berlin Games Given Opportunity to Warm Up in American Events; Jack Lovelock Forced to Turn Down Bid. BY JOE WILLI AMS Time* Special Writer NEW YORK D r c. 19.—Something in the nature of a preview of the 1936 Olympic game. l —or several such previews—will be in store for American track and IV Id enthusiasts if invitations extended foreign athletic stars are accepted to compete in our indoor fixtures during February and early March. Track end field headliners from Japan, Finland, Italy, Great Britain, Poland and Germany as well as the topnotch Canadian and American athletes have received or are about to receive bids to the Millrose A. A.,

New York A. C., National A. A. U. and Knights of Columbus games

which are to feature the impending indoor season, and in each case the bidden man is a sure-fire Olympic prospect. Three of the f o r e i g n ers won Olympic titles at the Los Angeles games in 1932, others were Olympic place winners, while the re-

mainder are men whose recent sensational achievements make them factors to be reckoned with in the coming international classic in Berlin. The Olympic champions are Lauri Lehtinen of Finland, who captured the 5000-meter title at Los Angeles, and Luigi Beccali, who gave Italy the 1500-meter Olympic title three and one-half years ago. Their in\ited countrymen are Kailevi Kokas, Finnish high jumper, with a mark of six feet seven inches; Lauri Virtanen, Finnish distance runner who ranks second only to Lehtinen at 5000 meters; Mario Lanzi, Italian and European champion at 800 meters, and Umberto Cerratti, Italy’s distance star, who thrice has taken the measure of Fordham's Joe McCluskey. Nippon’s Stars Invited The Japanese receiving bids to the indoor games and who may be the first of their race to compete in such contests here are Ryutku Yoshioka, the sprint sensation of old Nippon, who, although not then geared to carry his blazing pace the full 100-meter distance, led all rivals for 50 or 60 meters in each of his preliminary heats at Los Angeles, and Shuhei Mishida, who finished second in the Los Angeles pole-vault and is a consistent 14foot vaulter. It was hoped that Jack Lovelock, Australian nemesis of America’s onemile record men, could represent Great Britain in the indoor meets, hut his duties as an interne at St. Mary’s Hospital, London, will prevent that. His two-time conqueror, S. C. Wooderson of England, who has an outdoor mark of 4:12 for the mile, has been extended an invitation. The Polish representative invited Is Kasimir Kucharski, an 800-meter star with a record mark of 1:51.6 for that distance, and the German representative, if he accepts the bid, will be Fred Schaumberg, a 1500-meter man, who, with a mark of 3:53.4. scored the second best time made at that distance in European competition during 1935. Lovelock No “Iron Man” With the single exception of Lovelock, acceptances of the American bid, which was made through the offices of the A. A. U„ are being eagerly awaited by the meet promoters and the American stars who will be called upon to face the foreign invasion. Lovelock, because he knew his hospital duties would not permit him to make such an extended trip at that time, was prompt with his response. Lovelock eontesssed he was not of the “iron man” type who could keep at top form over a long period and said he would require three months of training to prepare himself for the coming Olympic meets.

Grit! nun Tommy Hitchcock Never Says ‘Quit’; Climbs Back Atop Polo.

BY lIENRY SUPER I'nited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Tommy Hitchcock, who refused to believe that his number was up in 1934 when he suffered a serious brain concussion, again stands alone at the top of the pony polo world. Shorn of the 10-goal ranking he had held for 13 consecutive years after injury removed him temporarily from active play, Hitchcock made a brilliant comeback last summer and was rewarded when the United States Polo Association, in its annual rankings, again gave him the highest rating in the world. Hitchcock suffered a concussion several years ago in the East-West matches. In 1934 he took a bad spill, which again sent him to the hospital. But Tommy fooled his critics—came back equipped with a special helmet to protect his head and led Greentree to its first triumph in the United States Open championship tournament last summer. a a u THE one-time World War flier, on the first day of stern competition since his recovery, scored nine goals against Long Island and then carried the brunt of the attack as Greentree smashed to the title with a 7-6 overtime victory over Aurora. Hitchcock, now 35 years old, is the only 10-goal man in the world. At the start of 1934 he shared that honor with Cecil Smith, hard-rid-ing Texan, and Elmer Boeseke, California. Behind his return to form stands one of the greatest sports records of all time. He has been playing high goal polo since the end of the World War. His 13-year streak at the top of the heap represents the longest period any player ever held that honor. He played on three open championship teams, five victorious international teams and led America to a triumph in the 1924 Olympic games. u # tt THE ratings include other important changes. Winston Guest and Smith, who were ranked at nine goals last year along with Hitchcock, were dropped to eight. Gerald Balding, who played No. 3 on Greentree,, was “upped” one to nine—the only man in that bracket. Other men who gained the eight goal mark, both of them being raised one, were Stewart B. Iglehart and Elbridge T. Gerry, both members of Aurora’s semi-final four.

Hinkle Drills I Butler Squad for Next Tilt Bulldogs Tighten Defense, Get Range in Practice for Purdue. Stronger defense and more ac- i curacy in field goal attempts were the aims of Coach Tony Hinkle j today as he put his Butler Bulldogs through an afternoon of diligent j practice. It was the last heavy workout in preparation for the battle with Purdue in the fieldhouse Saturday night. Coach Hinkle talked over miscues made in the Pitt game, and urged the boys not to be discouraged. Roscoe Batts was the only player able to hit consistently in the Pitt fray. Batts has maintained an average of 13 points for Butler's first three games. If he continues at that pace, he will establish anew alltime Butler scoring record. Last year, Roscoe missed anew record by four points. SHOEMAKER IS CAPTAIN Philip Shoemaker, veteran end, has been selected by the Washington High School football squad to captain the 1936 team. Shoemaker won two major letters in football and is a member of the varsity basketball team. JACKSONVILLE. 111., Dec. 19.
