Guests at ‘Y’ Event to See ‘Sports Stew’ Wide Variety of Athletic Pastimes on Display in ‘Open House.’ BY PAUL BOXELL Would you like to see a cong'.om- , erated exhibition of wrestling, swimming, volley ball, handball, tumbling, deck tennis, archery and several other athletic pastimes all compressed into one afternoon and ; evening? That opportunity is offered you by the Central Young Men's Christian Association, which puts its : sports activities on paiade in a big] New Year's Day "Open House" program tomorrCA'. Accomodations for spectators will be provided in all departments, and ; more than 175 individual atnletes : will participate, not only in exhibitions, but in regular competitive contests. Parents of the younger “Y” merr;1 bers, persons interested in athletic I progress at th j . local institution, and many others seeking purely en- ! tertainment, will make up a capacity crowd. Adimission will be free. Handball ala Speed High spots of the day's action will! be a volleyball match between the I “Y” Varsity and the Eli Lilly team i iin the main gym at 7 p. m. and a ; • lightning handball singles tourney j at 2. The volleyball teams are members of the Y. M. C. A. Senior League i and their rivalry has become just about as traditional as the Wabash - De Pauw football saga, according to loop observers. The handball event is to emulate lightning in that it will move along like a Japanese jiu jitsi tournament. Competition will be going on in three courts simultaneously, with loss of one game instead of the customary three eliminating a player. The moment one pair leaves a court another will swing into action. Even at this rate, nearly two hours will be needed to produce the champion, as twenty players will be in the starting field. Archers will zing their arrows over the Y's 75-foot range in a : series of competitive matches start- i ing at 7 o’clock. Though participants | ; in other events are to be drawn 1 j solely from "Y” members, the archery contest is open to any bow-and- , arrow enthusiast caring to compare ' | targets with his fellow twangers of j Hie city. Goldfish Have Their Day A complete swimming program is to be offered in the pool beginning at. 4 o'clock, the clowning feature of which will be a “goldfish party” ! for junior boys. A tub of goldfish are to be released into the pool, and a score of boys will go “a-hunting” for them. The youngster capturing : the most fish is to be declared the winner. The stunt has been tried before, with everyone having a good time, including the spectators, the divers and the goldfish. The boys are warned to keep their mouths closed while in the water, however, since not even goldfish taste good without proper culinary preparation and salt and pepper. If you have any finny pets which you feel are not getting necessary exercise in their abbreviated bowls, you are invited to ! bring them along for the event. They are guaranteed a strenuous | workout. Basketball Too Commonplace No basketball exhibition will be ; given. Officials in charge Tate I that they are anxious to play up the "unusual" sports in this year’s Open House, and the hardwood game as j it, is played in this state hardly! would come under that category. Among other events on the pro- ! j gram: Two o'clock—Boys' drill—rhythmic calisthenics; demonstration of mass games.—relays, circle games and combative games. Three o’clock—Wrestling matches; senior leaders' drill; apparatus and tumbling. Three-thirty Demonstration of badminton, deck tennis, ring toss, shuffleboard and other individual games; demonstration of physicaltests and measurements. Officials in charge are Physical Director Fred Dickens. Assistant Director James McConnell, and Swimming Instructor Jim Shelley. ‘Ole Miss’ Orange Choice in Betting Catholic U. Mentor Sees •50-50’ Chance. i By IHi ted Pres* MIAMI. Fla.. Dec. 31.—Both elevens, Ole Miss and Catholic University. went through their final paces today in preparation for tomorrow's renewal of the annual Orange Bowl football game. I Neither Ed Walker. Mississippi ; coach, nor Dutch Bergman, coach of \ the Cardinals, would venture a prediction on the outcome of tomorrow's game. Bergman said he thought his boys j ; had a "fifty-fifty chance.” Walker! was worried about the condition of j his charges. “We’ve had a very tough break in the weather,” he ! said. Pre-game betting, however, favored Mississippi, which boasts Ray Hapes. leading scorer in the Southeastern conference. Ernest Seiler, in charge of ticket sales, said he expected a crowd between 12.000 and 15.000. Cage Results COLLEGES Temnl*. 54: Purdue. 39. | Illinois. 42; California. 17.

Hail to the New Year! 1936 Promises to Be Impressive Milestone in Progress of U, S. Sports.

BY’ HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Dec. 31.—The 1935 sports parade marched quietly into history today, making room for a smashing entrance by 1936. The New Year in sports, which offers five torrid gridiron duels as its first presentation, promises to be as productive of thrills and upsets as the one ending today. Here’s what the 1936 sports calendar has to offer: Boxing—New champions appear certain to be crowned in at least three classes, particularly in the heavyweight division, where Champion James J. Braddock finds a dark shadow across his path—Joe Louis.

Braddock. who won the title from Max Baer in 193-s's most startling upset, probably will defend it unsuccessfully against Louis in September. In the light-heavyweight division, John Henry Lewis probably will be dethroned in February by jock McAvoy, walloping Englishman. McAvoy then hopes to take the middleweight title. Olympics—The winter games 3re scheduled for Garmisch-Parten-kirchen, Germany, Feb. 6-13, and the summer games at Berlin, Aug. 116. America will be at full strength for the winter competition, but the summer outlook still is doubtful. The recent fight against participation hindered the American Olympic committee's drive for funds and that body must raise $300,000 to send a full team to the summer games. tt tt a AMERICA'S track and field aces should retain that title while the swimmers, whipped by Japan in 1932, will have a hard fight if they hope to recapture that glory. Golf—New champions probably will be crowned in 1936, just as they were this year when Lawson Little of San Francisco became the only star to retain his titles. Little, bywinning the American and British amateur crowns, became the first man to win those tournaments two years running. Other 1935 champions, particularly Sam Parks of Pittsburgh, surprise winner of the U. S. Open tournament, will have stern competition both from the youngsters who are making headlines in the winter tournaments and from the veterans. Baseball—Tight races are predicted for both major leagues. The Boston Red Sox, on whom Tom Yawkey has spent an estimated $3,500,000 in three years, will be a severe threat to the Detroit Tigers in the American League. The Chicago White Sox. who started strong this season, will be in the fight, as will the Cleveland Indians. In the National, the surprising Chicago Cubs will have a tough fight to retain the pennant, particularly from the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates. ts tt tt '“p'ENNIS —Fred Perry of England, 1 who lost the American title to Wilmer Allison, will be watched closely in his fight to make another clean sweep of the world's courts. The status of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, who came back in 1935 and won the Wimbledon title, is doubtful. Mrs. Moody has not said whether she will return to the courts. America, seeking to recapture the Davis Cup which Fiance lifted in 1927, will find tough going if it hopes to reach the challenge round against England. Football—The fall outlook for the 1935 giants is doubtful. Minnesota and Princeton, two of this year’s major undefeated teams, will suffer severe losses but should be strong. S. M. U.. the third perfect team, will have to depend on a flock of 1935 reserves and freshmen. Notre Dame will lose many stars by graduation. Ohio State and California, two near-great teams this year, should be powerful. Pony Polo—Tommy Hitchcock, the world's only 10-goaler. will lead an American team to London for the first International series since 1930. Cooper Leading By Tuo-Stroke Margin R’j United Press PASADENA. Cal.. Dec. 31.—Harry Cooper of Chicago today held a two-stroke lead as 63 amateurs and professionals started the final 36hole round of the S4OOO Pasadena Open golf tournament. The Chicago pro yesterday added a par 71 to his 66 of Saturday for a total of 137. Tied behind Cooper were Harold McSpaden of Kansas City, Kas., Horton Smith of Illinois and Wiffev Cox of Bethseda. Md.. with 139's. In third place with 140 were Henry Picard. Hershev. Pa : Ky Laffoon. Denver, ani Pied Morrison, Pasadena.

Sugar Bowl Rivals Hold Final Drills Texas and Louisiana Men to Avoid Celebrations. ,/>’(/ United Press NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 31.—Only light workouts scheduled for this afternoon separated the Texas Christian University and Louisiana State football teams from the second annual Sugar Bowl game - 7 hich will be played before a crowd of 38.000 fans at the Tulane Stadium tomorrow. Both coaches —Dutch Meyer of the Texas Christians and Bernie Moore of L. S. U.—announced they would hold short practice sessions today. One other hazard presented itself before the game, and that is NewYear's Eve celebration. Coacii Moore announced he would keep his team in Baton Rouge tonight as he feared the din in New 7 Orleans as jubilant citizens ushered in the New Year would be too much for his players. Coach Meyer said he w 7 ould "hole his team up” somewhere where they would be safe for the night. The weath r man predicted that New 7 Year's -ay would be clear, but chilly, altlK igh there was a possibility that ight rains might fall during the morning.

Comes Home to Battle Butler ' c% ■■ \ . J . : ' F / -n :? j \ i ■\ \ A > ! \JL] PLAYING basketball on the Butler Fieldhouse hardwood will be no new 7 experience for big John Townsend, above, who invades the Fairview gcalrv with Michigan University's Wolverines for a tilt with the Bulldogs Thursday night. John was the driving power oi the Tech quintet which pushed to the final game of the 1934 stale high school tourney before losing to Logansport. He played center on that Big Green squad. John was shifted to forward when he arrived at Michigan, however, since the pivot post was capably filled by 6-foot-9 John Gee. The former Tech star stands 6-4 now and weighs 210. Working with him at the other forward past is his brother Earl, formerly of De Pauw.

Poor Adolph—No Worlds Left for Him to Conquer Young Kiefer, at 17, Holds All Backstroke Records: Henry Thinks it Sad, Indeed. BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent CORAL GABLES. Fla., Dec. 31.—Unless it be golden wedding anniversaries in Hollywood, I doubt if there's anything as scarce as a permanent swimming record. The ink never dries on a swimming record. It is no sooner in the book than some young man or some young woman takes a deep breath, jumps into the w r ater and breaks it in anywhere from a ripple to a country block. Swimming record books are filled with footnotes announcing that the marks listed above have since

been broken and re-broken. I fell to thinking along these j lines the other day when I sat on the edge of the Miami-Biltmore j pool and watched a young man by the name of Adolph Kiefer perform. Young Adolph is but 17 years of age. and is still dealing with improper fractions in high school. Yet he | splashed around in the water withenough potency to break one wwid and two American records. This performance, I learned later, boosted Adolph's world record holdings to an even 17. which becomes even more impressive when you learn that there are but 17 backstroke marks in all the world. In short, .Adolph holds all available backstroke records. This ap-1 parently is a very commendable j feat, for Adolph w 7 as no sooner out j ol the water when he w 7 as surrounded by dozens of backslappers. To me. however, it was a bit sad. I felt like walking over to Adolph and saying: "My boy. you were very foolish to break that 400 meter mark today. Very foolish, indeed, for here you stand at 17. dripping wet, and with no more worlds to conquer. You’ve got a perfectly beautiful backstroke and nothing to do with it.” Os course. Adolph can always pull off his pants and break his ow 7 n rec- ! ords, and that's what I think he in- ! tends to do. According to his trainer, a Mr. Stanley Brauninger, who handles the business of being very ' important for the firm of Brauninger and Kiefer. Adolph is still some 1 three years shy of his full power. You see. he isn’t fully grown. I talked with Adolph an hour or so after he had broken his world record, and I suppose 1 should have j asked him many technical questions concerning swimming. But I didn't I To be honest. I w 7 as too curious as to why he ever started swimming on his back and not on his stomach, as is natural. You throw a kid in the water and he'll turn rightside up and start swimming like a puppy. I still use that stroke, incidentali ly. But not Adolph. When his dad first threw him in the water at th 7l age of 9 (Adolph was 9. not his father, you understand', he ■ rolled over on his back and started using the backstroke. He’s been swimming that w 7 ay ever since. I didn't ask Mr. Brauninger his opinion, for Mr. Brauninger was too busy congratulating himself on Adolph's performance to be disturbed.

East Booms Net Prestige as Owls Win Temple Scores Surprisingly Easy Triumph Over Purdue. ; PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 31.—Th prestige of Eastern basketball had : gone up several notches to anew high today, following Purdue's second straight defeat in that section. A 54-to-39 victory by the Temple . Owls here last main followed close a on the heels of New York Univerj sity's 43-41 triumph Saturday. Because Purdue lias been a Midwestern basketball leader since the World War. and because it now ,s co-champion of the Big Ten. New York sports writers and critics felt today that the East was dominating the cage game for the first time in I history. The up.-et last night provided thrills for 5000 fans as a husky Temple squad completely outclassed the Boilermakers. Except for a few minutes in the second half, the Hoosiers’ ball-handling was loose and their field-goal shooting was far off form. Flashy Meyer Bloom. Owl center who made seven field goals, was the spearhead of the victors' attack. The Temple team counted 22 times from 'the floor, while Purdue was able to find the range only 14 times. In addition, the Owls played a faster, better organized gamp. Bob Kessler. Purdue's all-America forward, came in during the first half to lead a counter attack, but lie. too. seemed off his usual standard. The half-time score was 30 to 21. Temple.
