JOE TELLS OF U. S. ‘SNOW OLYMPICS’

Japanese Showed Real Grit in Winter Games Staged at Lake Placid in 1932 Inexperienced Orientals Caused Spectators to Tremble During Hazardous Ski Competition; Famed Basement A. C., the ‘Underground Night. Club,’ Is Recalled. BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer NEW YORK. Feb. B.—The 1936 Olympics began with a hockey match in the Bavarian Alps the other day. This was the opening of the winter games, as distinguished from the summer games, which are to be held in Berlin next August. The winter games are of comparatively recent origin. They first were held in 1924. The current games mark only the fourth renewal, though the Olympics themselves date back to 776 B. C., or the year before Connie Mack took over the Athletics.

The winter games were last held in this country at Lake Placid. Projected against, a glacial background, they were brilliant and thrilling. Your correspond-

e n t remembers them most for the stubborn grit of the Japaner? skiers. They we plainly inexperienced. They even had trouble navigating on level surfaces such as the town streets. But the towering ski jump held no fears for them.

Joe Williams

Day after day in 1933 the Japs buckled on the long waxed staves, climbed to the tower and shot down snow-covered incline. The town bookie was laying odds none of them would survive the practice period. But. somehow they all managed to escape fatal injuries, though there were times when strong men trembled and covered their eyes fearing the worst. The Japs would come flying off the frozen lip of the skip jump at great speed to go spinning into the air heels over appetite in the most fantastic patterns imaginable. They say a native woodsman took a shot at one of these spinning objects the day before the finals mistaking it for a wild bird, but this was probably an untruth. Those natives never miss, and there was no record of any such tragedy. At ar.y rate the Japs stayed in there punching until they were hopelessly distanced and I thought it was not only a tribute to their nativity, but an illuminating example of their national p'ide; they were willing to suffer repeated physical crackups and much ill-bred ridicule to go through with their part of the program and make whatever progress they could. Your correspondent also enjoyed the extra-curricular activities at the celebrated Basement A. C. This was an impromptu guild which functioned in the lower recesses of one of the less fastidious hostelries. It was first discovered by the journalists and soon became a common gathering place for the stayups, which, as time went on. included an increasing number of the athletes. It was during the prohibition era. The presence of the athletes night after night in the stuffy smokefilled room seemed to offer a solid contradiction to the avowed purposes of training and your correspondent expressed his bewilderment to one of the members of the American bobsled team. “On the contrary this is fine for us,” answered the bobber. “It is always best to train for these games where the smoke is thick and the ale is heavy.” From time to time the law in the form of state troopers in comic opera uniforms would invade the exclusive chambers of the Basement A. C., generally when everybody was in a determined singing mood and the smoke hung over the room like blue clouds; but the proprietor of the place had a nose like a bird dog or else he was psychic, or something. Anyway, he always anticipated the law and with a great shriek and whoop everybody would rush behind the long wooden plank that served as a bar arid help carry the merchandise out in the deep snow, where it remained buried until the troopers completed their search. When the troopers departed members of the Basement A. C. would rush out into the night with another whoop and retrieve the merchandise, and the club's social life would go on uninterrupted until the law decided it was time to return for another sniff of poisonous indoor air.

Times-Legion Boxers Battle Before 4000 Rooters at Armory. (Continued from Page Four) the kidney and jaw. Both boys pumped a steady stream of shots, with Binninger finishing strongest to earn a berth in the lightweight finals. He will oppose another Shelbyville scrapper, Marshall Allison, who drew a bye. Skeet in Open Finals Skeet Dickerson, Colonial A. C. featherweight, fought his first tourney bout, and after dealing a knockout punch, transferred to the open class. An aggressive, dextrous attack carried him inside the long well-manuvered left arm of Emmett Longstaff, Oliver-WPA, in the second round for the finish. Following his transfer, Dickerson drew a bye into the final round where he will meet Bud Cottey, Oliver-WPA. Cottey, winner of the 1935 Golden Gloves bantam crown, stabbed his way to a decision over Milton Bess, Negro, Bess A. C., in the semi-final match last night. Bess also had a clever left-handed jab and drew blood early in the bout, but there was more snap to Cottey’s punches. Tommie LeFever, Oliver-WPA, decisioned Rural Typler, Negro, Bess A. C., to meet Jimmie Williams, Colonial A. C. flyweight in the Open finals next week. Omer Sensei, South Side Turners, bored In steadily to whip Basil Bear, Bright-wood-WPA, and will be in ohe championship fight for the bantam crovvn next week against Judy Davies, Oliver-WPA, who won a technical kayo from Johnnie Byrne, unattached. Finalists in the light heavyweight division will be decided on next week's card. Furious action also was brought out in the Novice Class, the winners of which do not compete at Chicago, but establish prestige for next year. Soldier Loses Slugfest A good old-fashioned slugfest, one of the highlights of the show, resulted in the match between Jimmie Gustaffson, Oliver-WPA middleweight, and Donald Buckallew, Fort Harrison. The soldier, who slashed his way to a pair of impressive victories last week, opened a cut on Gustaffson’s right eye in the initial round. Jimmie rallied to take a swapfest in the next canto, and won the decision after a bloody toe-to-toe slugging match. Boastful and scrappy in last week’s matches, the Messer twins— Elmer and Elwood—decided that 100 pounds of scrapiron is not enough even in the smallest of the divisions. Each conceded victory in the first round when outmatched by a huskier Negro fighter, and decided to fight it out at home. Quickest finish of the tournament was registered by Bob Blue, South Side Turner welter, who finished Howard Bullis, unattached, in 15 seconds. Five knockouts. 10 technical ka.voes, 25 decisions and one default whittled the field down in the 41 matches on the card, which held the attention of the fans for more than five hours of almost continuous fighting. The revived interest and the new talent being uncovered and encouraged by the Golden Gloves tournament has fostered a new interest in Indianapolis, one of the old fight centers of the nation. Charles Hutton of Anderson, brother of the 1935 Open champion. made his debut last night with an assorted repertoire of punches, and after a minute of the second round, Roy Ward, unattached, was ready to call it quits and lost a technical kayo verdict. Mike Sorba, broad-chested welter from Elwood. ran into a tough assignment and barely won over John Tinder. U. S. Tire A. C. scrapper. Charles Duncan. Bess A. C. Negro, terrific puncher of the first session, added another decision last night when Referee Heze Clark stopped the fight after a cut had been opened over the eye of George Kinzel, unattached.

Top~Ennking Referee to Handle Title Bout Here o’Mahoney’s Manager Puts in Request for NationallyKnown ‘Third Man’; Numa Is Challenger. The heavyweight wrestling title match between Champion Danno O’Mahoney, 222, and Leo Numa, 218, Seattle stalwart, will be handled by a nationally-known referee next Tuesday night at the Armory, it was announced today by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. Officials under consideration are Waiter Bates, Kansas City; Charlie Renthrop, Memphis, and Ted Tonnerr.an, Chicago.

Jack McGrath, manager of O’Mahoney. requested that a prominent official be obtained to serve as the third man in the ring because of the importance of the bout. Numa agreed to the proposal. The popular Numa is keyed up over his “big chance” against Danno. He has plenty of respect for O’Mahoney, but does not believe that the Irishman is unbeatable. "He is going to get tagged some day and I might as well be the one to turn the trick,” asserts the Pacific Coast star. Leo, a protege of the late Charlie Hansen, widely known mat ace,

Chuck Markey Sets Up New Season Pin Record Smashes Out 792 Total for City High; ‘Contrary’ No. 10 Maple Thwarts All-Time Mark.

BY BERNARD HARMON THE No. 10 pin was Chuck Markey’s nemesis as he faced the maples of the Washington League at the Illinois Alleys last night. It stood between him and a perfect 300 game in the initial conflict of his series, and when it failed to respond on perfect hits on four other occasions it prevented him from hanging up an all-time city record. But as it was this youthful pastimer, who got his start in the bowling game as a pin setter at the St. Philip Alleys, posted a 792 series to replace the veteran Jess Pritchett Sr. as the season’s top scorer. Pritchett had a 789 in the Optimist League two weeks ago. A string of 10 strikes was the opening blast of the youngster, and then, with a 300 game in sight, the No. 10 pin refused to take the count and he wound up at 289. Continuing to bombard the 1-3 pocket, he posted additional games of 258 and 245, despite the fact that he was “tapped” on a quartet of seemingly perfect “hits.”

Bulldogs Win as Brafford Starts Rally Senior Guard Sinks 6 Goals in Victory Over Marquette. Times Special MILWAUKEE, Feb. 3.—Butler University’s touring basketball squad spotted Marquette University a five-point lead at intermission and then staged a typical Hoosier rally to snatch a 38-to-35 victory here last night. Ralph Brafford, senior guard, who, prior to the Western State game last Monday had not been considered a scoring threat, cut loose with six field goals to pace Coach Tony Hinkle’s team to victory. Playing at forward in the second half, Brafford sank the game-winning points. As in most games this season, the Bulldogs were away to a slow start, trailing at intermission, 19 to 14. Brafford. Roscoe Batts and Toy Jones pulled Butler back into the lead, 22 to 21, only to have the Hilltoppers go in front, 28 to 24. Brafford knifed the net twice and Captain Jones sent Butler ahead. After the score had been deadlocked twice more, Brafford claimed the contest for the Hoosiers. The Indianapolis Collegians left by train for Madison to renew their series with University of Wisconsin tonight. Summary: Butler (38*. Marquette (351.

boasts a strong record that includes triumprs over such well-known grapplers as Orville Brown and George (Cry Baby) Zaharias. Tuesday night’s offering has been sanctioned as a title affair by Sam Murbarger, chief inspector for the State Athletic Commission. Other bouts on the program bring together George Mansur, 230, Akron, 0., vs. Irish Pat O'Shocker, 227, Salt Lake City, and Jack Kennedy, 215 Minneapolis, vs. Jack Warner. 212, Des Moines.

ly perfect “hits.” His games were rolled on Alleys 7 and 8, dubbed the “graveyard pair” by city pastimers. The brilliant firing proved a big boost to McCarthy Furnitures who in their double triumph over Grunows, totaled 2949 on games of 1086, 894 and 969. George Godwin tossed a 611 to feature for the losers. Fred Meyer and Ernie McKinnon did most of the heavy hitting for the H. E. Schmitt Insurance aggregation, which scored a shutout victory over Board of Trade. The team used Meyer’s 628 and McKinnon’s 606 in tacking up a 2931 from games of 922, 1006 and 1003. Led by Tom Brown, who totaled 641, Pennzoil turned in the only other shutout of the session. Falls City Lagers were the victims. A pair of 600s gave Lieber Brewers an odd-game decision over Coca-Cola. Earl Goodhue had a 655 and John Blue a 607. Elmer Berry and Bob Wuensch with 607s were the only other honor shooters of the evening and both saw their teams take double beatings from opponents. Berry’s Hoosier Opticals lost to Capitol Ice and Wuensch’s J. E. Kernel Opticals were edged out by Hy-Red Gasoline. In the remaining team clash, Illinois Five won twice from Max Patton Case. n n u THE thumping Jack Hunt gave the maples in the Fountain Square Recreation League would have ordinarily won him city-wide solo honors of the evening, but with Markey tossing his record-breaker, Jack had to be satisfied with the runnerup position. Performing with Acetylene Products Cos., he linked games of 224, 214 and 258 for a 696 and vhen a trio of his mates joined him with honor counts, the team polled the best three-game total in local leagues during the evening. George Meeker’s 641, Arch Heiss’s 634 and Dan Hornbeck’s 629 along with Hunt’s loop leader gave the aggregation games of 992, 1033 and 1097 for a 3122, which netted them a triple victory over Falls City HiBrus. Joe Fulton with 664 and Carl Hardin with 605 starred for the losers. Three members of Cook’s Goldblume passed the 600 mark to give it a 3058 total and a shutout victory over Marott Shoes. With Johnny Murphy at 674, Lee Carmin at 622 and Don Johnson at 604 the team posted games of 980, 1035 and 1043. The only other outstanding individual performance of the session was Dan Abbott’s 653 in the Bowes Seal Fast’s two-game victory over Denby Cigars. The remaining team match of the session was won by Lieber Lagers over. Sterling Beers, two to one.

Coach Denies All Charges in Grid Row Dr. Spears Scoff' at Liquor Accusations; R- ; ems to Huddle Again. By United Pres# MADISON, Wis., Feb. B.—Dr. Clarence W. Spears, head football coach at the University of Wisconsin, yesterday denied the charges that he ordered whisky given to his players in coffee between halves of games. He also denied recommending the injection of novocaine into the broken finger of a player. “Cureall” Sought Asa resiilt of testimony being given by the university regents, tne “Badger headache” still was annoying everybody on the campus today. The regents are to go into another huddle Feb. 14 and er deavor to come up with a “cure-all.” Spears scoffed at all other accusations and said he never had overworked his players nor required them to play while suffering from injuries. Two former pupils, Dave Tobias and Moon Molinaro, brawny linemen, .lame to Spears’ defense, claiming that before he took over the coaching position here they had found their coffee spiked. Another student, Bill Millar, accused Spears of using profane language with the players. Beer Party Story Millar told about a party given for the squad at the close of the 1935 spring practice. “Spears was there and the beer flowed freely,” he said. Actions of Dr. Walter E. Meanwell, athletics director, also are under investigation. There is a wide rift between Coach Spears and Meanwell. Members of the athletics department are about equally divided in their loyalties. Alumni are split, the faculty is for Meanwell, the athletics council is split and no one will know just how the regents stand until they take final action next week.

WPA EMPLOYES WARNED NOT TO ‘PLAY POLITICS' Seventh District Director Acts to Prevent ‘Meddling.’ Time* Special HAMMOND. Ind.. Feb. 8 A sharp warning that they must cease “playing politics” was given hundreds of Seventh District WPA workers as they returned to jobs throughout the Calumet area today. Issued by John A. Gavit. district WPA director, the admonition was interpreted as a declaration of war against political candidates who ars charged with meddling with the government-paid workers. Asserting that time is being wasted on active WPA projects because of the outside interference. Mr. Gavit added that workers and supervisors failing to observe the warning would be discharged without notice. Political candidates who seek signatures on their nominating petitions appeared to be the chief target of Mr. Gavit’s warning, though he added that political activity of any kind would not be tolerated. Our employes,” he declared, "are free agents while not working. They may sign whatever petitions they desire. But they cm not be contacted on the job This time belongs to the Works Frogress Administration and we do not intend to see it diverted to politics.” The Seventh District is composed of Lake and five neighboring counties. A recent check of activities showed that more than 6400 workers are employed on WPA projects. Handicap; 3-year-olds and up; one mil* and seventy yards) —taiLady Federal. 106; ftP.
