‘TWELVE-POUND SQUAWK’ IS POPULAR OLYMPIC EVENT

Games for ‘Good Will,’ but Every One Has Lovely Time Disagreeing, Col. Joe Avers International Squabbles Usually Are Magnified, Just Like Our Little Home Quarrels, Scribe Believes; No Harm Comes of Them. BY JOE WILLIAMS Timei Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—Throwing the twelve-pound squawk always has been one of the mast popular of the Olympic events. Its popularity is undoubtedly due to the fact that anybody can enter. The only requirements are a loud, rasping voice and a stubborn disposition. No set of Olympic g&mes has been wholly free of unpleasantness. There is always an •'incident" of some sort followed by much furious heaving of the twelve-pound squawk.

'f’oe winter Olympic games, now current In the Bavarian Alps, have a comparatively meager background. They were first, held in 1924. But

it is encouraging to note the winter games are progressing rapidly. Already the 1936 edition has set a new record for mumbled threats, name railing and what have you. The cause of inter national amity is being served, as usual, on the barbed prongs of nation-

al anger and antagonism. The notion that these games contribute to international good-will in a deep, lasting sense is probably just a romantic fable. I question, too, if any great harm ever came from the strife and squabbles on the field. At any rate there is no record of bloodshed or war. The Olympic bickerings are magnified in intensity and effect because of the international background, the crowd hysteria and the eager press. Similar incidents in national or local meets are scarcely noticed. Nothing has yet traaspired at Garmisch-Partenkirchen to compare with the climax of the recent Cunningham-Mangan foot race at Boston.

Cuts in Front of Foe

In this race it was openly charged that Cunningham, facing an unexpected setback in the stretch of the mile race, zig-zagged in front of Mangan and thus contrived his defeat. The details were duly chronicled, Cunningham was lustily booed the next time he appeared in a race and the incident was forgotten. Anyway, there has been no talk of dispatching the Marines to Kansas, home state of the accused. The other night the New York University basketball team was defeated by Georgetown. It was the team's first defeat of the year. One of the consequences was an editorial in the coliege newspaper putting the blast on N. Y. U.'s conquerors and demanding a severance of all athletic relations, for the "safety and health" of the players, whatever that means. An investigation developed that this sentiment was cherished almost wholly by the student editors who have not yet reached an age of Journalistic detachment where they are dry behind the ears. Neither the players nor the university shared in the sentiment, but the blast placed the team in a bad light just the same. Get at the Source! The lesson to be learned from this is that it is wise to examine the source of all squawks. Nine times out of ten which is considered a persuasive percentage in most circles, you will find they come from non-combatants, such as spectators, doting relatives and badge w r earers, of these the badge wearer, or athletic official, is by far the most poisonous. The squawks at the winter games have been many and varied. They started when the Germans protested against the special runners on the American bob sleds—knee action runners they are called, and their purpose is to enable the heavy sleds to take the sharp curves at high speed in relative safety. There is no rule in the books against the use of such runners, but the Germans and some of the others felt it would be more sporting if all the equipment was uniform, and no one sled was benefited by purely mechanical help. This seems entirely reasonable and oue wonders why the point was not made well in ndvance of the games. Speaks Out of Turn Bitterness between England and Canaria involved the eligibility of two Canadian hockey players who had joined up with the English team for the duration of the Olympics. At first Canada objected to facing a possible defeat from two of her own sons but later relented, possibly on the cheritable notion that the young King has enough to worry about already. When the protest was withdrawn Mr. Avery Brundage, the American, made an incredible remark to the effect that if England wished to do the spotting thing she would not use the two players regardless of their newly won eligibility. Whereupon the English spokes- / " s |ay Highest Cash Trices lor SHOTGUNS AND RIFLES Lincoln Jr 7 Loan Cos. 201 W. Wash.

man replied that Mr. Brundage would do jolly well to mind his own business, and that when his majesty the King desired any information from Mr. Brundage or any other bally American as to what players he should or should not play, his intelligence would be solicited in ample time. From this long range point of view it looks as if Mr. Brundage stuck his neck out and in turn got what was coming to him. Speer May Tackle Leo in Return Go Frank Wants Another Mat Chance With Numa. Three all-star bouts are planned for the Armory next Tuesday night where f.fatchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. will offer his regular weekly heavyweight wrestling show. One grappler, Daniel Boone Savage, 250, the bewhiskered Kentucky hill-billy, already has been signed. Frank Speer, 235, the two-fisted Atlanta matman, is anxious to return and is seeking a rematch with the popular Leo Numa. Speer and Numa staged a thriller here a few weeks ago, with Numa gaining the nod when the former Georgia Tech grid ace was disqualified for roughness. Carter is seeking the services of a ‘‘big fellow" to toss against Savage, the good-natured Kentuckian. Daniel Boone, who is 6 feet, 4 inches tall, has won his only two tussles here.

BY BERNARD HARMON SOME of the most brilliant pin toppling of the season emerged from the double-header session of the Indianapolis League at the Pritchett Alloys last night. The loop's twin-bill affair was necessitated by New

Year’s Day postponements. A quintet of soloists passed the 700 mark during the two acts. Johnny Murphy with 750, Bud Schoch with 717 and Lee Carmin with 710 were the star performers of the curtain raisers, while Carl Hardin with 709 and Dan Abbott with 704 featured the nightcap affairs. Twenty-three others passed the 600 mark in the initial set, while in the final tilts an additional 27 honor series were tacked up. Murphy's big series came from games of 246, 269 and 235, while Carmin used counts of 229, 249 and 232 for his bulging total. With the

. two heavy, hitters performing with Cook’s Goldblume, that ag- : gregation posted a 3254 total from games of 1103, 110 , 5 and 1051, which was good for a triple win over Lieber Brewers. John Fehr’s 627 and Don • Johnson’s 614 proved a big help to the winners,

Curses, Foiled Again! - Young Blade Stumbles Into Fencing Lesson and Makes Many Pointed Mistakes.

BY PAUL (D’ARTAGNAN II) BOXELI. A NOTICE in the paper says that fencing is being taught at the Y. M. C. A., and I think it is a good oppoitunity for me. I figure I will have to help Uncle Perry put up a picket lattice around his farm this summer and decide I had best get in some training in fence work.

So I find my way to the “Y,” where I am ushered downstairs into the gym and introduced to a stocky young fellow named Prof. Albert Sapecky. ‘‘l’ll be delighted to give you some lessons in fencing,” says Mr. Sapecky. ‘‘We’ll begin now. You need change only to some canvas shoes. I’ll get into my togs.” It develops his togs are nothing more than some shorty pants and a pair of shoes. Good night, I think, if I don’t wear more than that when I help Uncle Perry, I’ll be burned to a toast. a a tt PROF. SAPECKY brings out a couple of heavy wire cages and hands me one. ‘‘That goes over your head,” he says. I look for a mitt, but get none. ‘‘l’m sorry,” I say, “but I really haven’t time to pli-.y baseball. Besides, I’m not much of a catcher.” “The mask,” continues the Prof, “is to protect your face from the foil.” “Foil?” I am bewildered. “Sure, this,” he smiles, and thrusts a long spindle of steel with a handle on it in front of my eyes. It looks like a skinny sword, thin, knifey. “You use this one.” Os a sudden I see what I have put myself in for. The memory comes that somewhere I have read about fencing having to do with sword play. “Curses, foiled again!” I murmur. Sensing my plight, Mr. Sapecky says: “Now that you’re here you might as well stay and see the thing through.” “Through who?" I ask tensely. But I decide to remain, because I can’t spot a quick exit out of the gym. a a it “ THIRST, you warm up your blade r by rubbing it between your foot and the floor—thus,” demonstrates Mr. Sapecky. I know my feet are far fiom warm, so I rub my blade gingerly under my arm. “That’s to keep the blade from breaking when it strikes your opponent.” he explains. “You needn't be afraid.” he continues, "The points are well padded, as you can see. Now. we'll begin. You hold the foil tightly in your fingers—not the palm of your hand —keep your wrist loose, bend your elbow, and hold the blade well out in front of you, pointed at your opponent’s chest. “Now for the stance. Your right foot is out in front, directed at your adversary: your left foot, in back, is directly at right angles with your right. Then you flex your knees in a semi-crouch. Try that.” “I ought to get along,” I say. “I used to do imitations of Charlie Chaplin.” Hp goes right on with the lesson. “Now the idea is to touch your opponent on his upper body wit.hthe point of your blade without getting stabbed yourself. In other words, the fellow who touches his foe most during a certain allotted time is the winner. Understand?” “My brother ought to go big in this.” I say. “How's that?” “He's good at making touches.” a a * MR. SAPECKY sets his lips a little more grimly and continues. “The object of planting your feet as you do is to permit you to glide smoothly when you advance or retreat.” That doesn't sound good to me. When I am in full retreat I am not in the habit of-glid-ing. But I hold my peace. The instructor carries on, using

Maranville to Test Skill as Minor Leader Veteran ‘Rabbit’ Appointed Elmira Pilot; Aims to Climb Back. Timm Special ELMIRA. N. Y„ Feb. 13.—Walter (Rabbit) Maranville, veteran major leaguer, has been appointed manager of the Elmira club in the New York-Pennsylvania League. Maranville arrived here today from Rochester to sign the contract with Arthur L. Hoffman, president of the local minor league club. A leg injury forced Maranville from the lineup of the Boston Nationals in 1934 after 22 years in the big leagues. He looks upon his new job as a stepping stone to a managerial post in the majors. He played part time with Boston last season and his major league service spans 24 years. Maranville, who is 44, has played in the majors with Boston, Chicago Cubs, Pirates. Dodgers and Cardinals. He managed the Cubs for a short period in 1925. Betts Back in A. A. Timeg Special ST. PAUL. Feb. 13.—1n a straight cash transaction, the local club of the American Association last night purchased Pitcher Huck Betts from the Boston Nationals. He is a former local idol. Betts, a righthander, was a brilliant hurler during his days with the Saints and won 22 games here in 1931, the year Boston drafted him. Other mainstay hurlers on the Apostles’ 1936 staff are Glen Spencer, Art Herring, Lou Fette, all righthanders, and Phil Weinert, veteran southpaw.

his foil now to show how. “When you lunge, like this, that's a thrust. When you push aside your opponent’s blade—derailing it, so to speak —with your own foil, like this, that's a parry. Get my point?” “I hope not,” is my prayer. “Several forms of parries are used. There’s the prime, the seconde, the tierce, and the quarte.” “Quart of what?” I want to know. “The quarte is when you push your foe's blade to the right. The tierce is crowding his blade to the left so that it misses your body. Now, I think we’re ready to begin actual fencing.” a a T SLAP on my mask, set my jaw, and resolve to do or dive under the rowing machine. We start, and he touches me so often I feel like a bank president. Soon, however, I am parrying pretty good, and am getting downright bold when he makes a terrific lunge at me. His blade doesn’t stop at the point of contact, but keeps right on going! I see the blade in me half way to the hilt. “You got me, Al!” I cry, and wait for my legs to buckle. He smiles, pulls his blade back, there is a sound of tearing cloth, and then I see that he has only ripped a little hole in my coat under my arm pit. Whew! \ “You forgot your quarte,” he admonishes. “That will be all for the first lesson. Cone back next week and we’ll really get into this thing.” I promise to return, adding solemnly that I will not forget my quarte next time and probably will bring along an additional pint. That's my story, and thank heavens I'm not stuck with it.
