COLLEGE BASKETBALL IN ‘HEAVY SUGAR’ CLASS

It’s Getting to Be Quite a Game, Scribe Decides After, Watching Notre Dame Play in Fact, Cage Pastime Is Becoming So Popular Hints of Commercialism Are Going Rounds, Joe Hears; Praises Star Irish Players. BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer NEW YORK. Fob. 17.—The boys around town are willing to admit Notre Dame can may basketball, too. Play it hard, fast and well. The South Benders handed New York University its third defeat in four recent games ocfore a packed Madison Square Garden last Friday. They didn't have to extend themselves either.

Though they were without cleats or helmets, the Fighting IrLn passed, ran, spun and shifted in the best Rockne tradition and when

it was all over evpn the student editors of N. Y. U. were forced to admit the result told the entire story of the game. Either N. Y. U. has gone stale or in some of the earlier Rames the Violets played over their heads. Poetically enough a young black-haired gent

Williams

by the name of Ireland played a conspicuous role in the visitors’ victory. He grabbed himself three baskets before the New Yorkers knew the fight, had even started. And young Mr. Hopkins, a forward, stood on his ear and scored baskets for the visitors. He was harder to stop than an unflattering rumor. All the Notre Darners fought hard for the ball, and generally they got It. Early in the third period they took the be.ll away from the New Yorkers three times under their basket to score. This w’as one of the reasons why they'won; another was that they were deadly on free throws. They took everything they could get for nothing .. . "Why not?” tt ti ts SINCE basketball lias moved into the heavy sugar class the charge of commercialism lias reared its sinister noodle. Some of the so-called Eastern fives are said to be made up of gentlemen wdio.se amateurism Is most chameleon-like in characterOn certain evenings they do, die and dribble for dear old Alma Mammy for the pure spiritual joy of the thing; but on other evenings, parading under assumed names, they may bo found In the gym-nasium-dance halls operating for a cash fee or sharing in the gate. I am told this latter practice is pretty wide-spread in the larger cities, but even the most confirmed blue-nosed snooper has yet to turn up any solid evidence to prove the colleges themselves are conniving with the athletes. The popular thought is that the athletes are doing most of their sinning outside the cloistered halls. The attitude of the colleges seems to be. what of it? And certainly this is the attitude of the customers. tt tt St WHEN the colleges took basketball out of the campus gymnasiums and set it up in Madison Square Garden and similar show places of vast seating capacity, they tacitly ordered the coaches to go out and get good men, and the supply of good men—to say nothing of good men and true—is always limited in any activity. Good men are in a position to demand concessions and they usually get them. From all accounts, including the bank accounts, some of the college basketballers are deemed to be very good men indeed. High pressure college basketball is in what the Dionnes would call its infancy. It is growing by leaps and bounds which happens by a quaint coincidence to reflect the physical nature of the sport itself. It seems reasonable to , suspect that the most commercialized college basketball becomes, the greater the professional menace will be, provided, of course, menace is Wie proper word. This is the history of all college, sports that turn unashamedly to the box office Professionalism grows in proportion to the public interest and the public capacity to pay. Need one look further than college football?

Wisconsin Alumni Seek New Sports Heads to Replace 2 Ousted Men

/It/ VII iter] Press MADISON. Wis„ Feb. 17.—Alumni of the University of Wisconsin, busiest spot in the Western Conference “coaches' graveyard,” looked for anew athletics director and a new football coach “of national reputation” today. Alumni doubted whether they could get any well-established coach to risk his future by taking over the job from which Dr. Clarence Spears, eighth coach in 22 years, was ejected last week. There was considerable opposition to the reported head-coach aspirations of the freshman mentor, Russell Rippe. Guy Sundt, one-time eight-letter winner at Wisconsin, was mentioned most prominently as a successor to Dr. Walter Meanwell, ousted as athletics director along with Spears and Bill Fallon, trainer. Regents voted unanimously to remove Meanwell, after receiving an investigating committee's report on charges of interdepartmental interference and administration of liquor to athletes. Eight of the 11 regents who indorsed Spears’ removal admitted they were doing him an “injustice necessary in interests of harmony.”

U. S. Athletes Scatter Out as Games End Depart on European Tours After Taking Fifth in Team Ratings. Ry T'nited Press ' GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany, Feb. 17—American athletes scattered to various European cities today and a few started home after yesterday’s ceremonial wmdup of the fourth Olympic Winter Games. They left here after 11 days of competition in which Norway’s lusty band rolled up 121 points to run away with the unofficial Olympic championship while the United States performers faded from the world championship of 1932 to a fifth-place berth in the team standing with 3512 points. Yankee Team Blanked Most of the American representatives will participate in other European meets before returning home. The ice hockey team which was beaten yesterday by Canada’s sextet, 1-o—thereby allowing Great Britain to coast into the hockey championship—left today for Prague. After competing there they will play in Munich. The puck chasers are scheduled tentatively to aail for New York on March 11. United States figure skaters departed today for the world championships at Paris. After the Paris tourney, the skaters will go to Oslo, Norway. Most members of the ski team plan competition at Innsbruck, Austria, and other Tyrol resorts. Roy Mikkelsen, a ski jumper from Auburn, Cal., will compete in Norway for about six weeks. Meanwhile the entire bob sled team is to sail for home on the President Harding, leaving Hamburg tomorrow. Torch Is Extinguished Two of those bobbers retained America’s only title —for two-man sleds—of the six Olympic event championships won at Lake Placid four years ago. They are Ivan Brown and Alan Washbond of Keene Valley, N. Y. Reichsfuehrer Adolph Hitler and the president of the International Olympic Federation, Count BailletLatour of Belgium, presided at the closing ceremonies. As Der Fuehrer stood on the balcony of honor, surrounded by other prominent Nazi officials, Baillet-Latour presented seals to winners as cannon roared and flags of winning countries were run up. Finally the Olympic flag was hauled down and the Olympic torch was extinguished. Hockey Battle Pleases Crowd The final hockey game was the best of the 11-day competition. It also was one of the roughest and drew constant applause from the 2000 spectators, including Hitler. Canada’s winning goal came in the first period when David Neville slammed the puck past goalie Tom Moone of Boston. It was a lucky shot after a face-off in front of the American goal. The Americans displayed superior teamwork throughout the three periods but were unable to score. Thus Great Britain coasted into the hockey title with two wins and one tie in the final round for five points, while Canada emerged- second by virtue of two victories and one defeat, earning four points. The United States ranked third with three points resulting from one victory, one tie and one defeat. High School Results (Games of Saturday) LOCAL SCHOOLS Tech. 26; Shelbyville, 23.

Normal Takes Strangle Hold on Loop Title Undefeated Warriors Hope to Clinch Crown by Downing Valpo. An unbeaten reeoid today virtually assured Central Normal of Danville the Indiana Conference basketball championship. Credited with 13 consecutive victories. 11 in the Conference, the Warriors face their only possible barrier in two games with Valparaiso, runner-up in the league race to date. The Danville quintet tacked tip No. 13 Saturday night at the expense of Butler's Bulldogs at the local fieldhouse. The Warriors uncorked a rousing finish to nose out the Bulldogs, 27 to 26. Uhlans at Danville Normal will entertain the Uhlans at Danville Thursday nigh?, and the two teams Will meet again at Valparaiso a week later. A defeat in either of the two games will eliminate Valparaiso from title consideration. If the Uhlans sweep the series they also must win their remaining two games before the championship picture can be changed. Central Normal’s only other game outside the Valparaiso series is against Indiana Central at Danville Saturday night. The Warriors defeated Indiana Central, 38 to 29. in their last meeting.
