By Eddie Ash OLYMPIC REPEATERS ARE FEW u m m OLD TRACK GRIND IS TOO TOUGH

pROBABLY not more than half a dozen track and field athletes who represented Uncle Sam in the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles will be back for action and capable of making the squad that competes in Berlin this summer. That fact in itself isn’t strange. It is a superman indeed who weathers the interval between Olympic Games to come back again, as good or better than ever, to compete in this rigorous sport. There have been a few athletes who fell under this classification during the modern history of the ancient games. Probably the greatest was that phantom Finn, Paavo Nurmi. In 1920 he won the 10,000-meter run and 10,000-meter steeplechase. In the following Olympics, in 1924, he again won the 10,000-meter ’chase, and in addition annexed the 1500 and 5000-meter runs. In 1928. at Amsterdam, he still packed enough power in those skinny legs to come home in front in the 10,000-meter run.

* tt tt WHAT perfect condition Nurmi must have kept himself in! He even came over for the 1932 Las Angeles session, but after some question as to his eligibility, he was withdrawn from the Finnish team. Others, of course, have scored repeat victories, but none can compare with Nurmi’s achievements. ‘ tt tt a About the closest to Nurmi was It. F. Ewry, the American who won the standing high jump in 1900-04-ofi-08, scored victories in the standing broad jump the same years and won the standing hop-step-and-jump in 1904-06. But the exertion necessary for those three events can’t approach the 10,000-meter run for expended energy. a tt tt ARCHIE HAHN, the American sprinter, scored repeat victories in the 100-meter dash in the Olympics, but that was back in 1904-06, when the games were held at twoyear intervals. Looking over this meager list of men who have weathered the storm of abuse their muscles took between Olympic years, it doesn't seem odd that we will have onlv a few familiar names on the YanKoe roster this summer.

The report that P. K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, had issued a “no wife” edict to his players on their spring training trip, has been denied by the Bruins’ chief. One bride, Mrs. Roy Ilenshaw, left with the first squad. Roy is a southpaw hurler whose specialty is knocking off the Pittsburgh Pirates. tt tt a Even a state high school basketball tournament had to give way to cold weather in South Dakota. It was postponed one week. tt a tt Wade Killefer, manager of the Indianapolis ball club, is stormbound in the far West. He was due here today, but the going was too tough. He'll try to make it by next Monday. if u it Player contracts are slow in arriving at Perry Stadium. The signed list has five members, Outfielder Como Cotelle, Catcher Jimmy Crandall.

He stopped Wally Hunt. 219pound San Diego heavyweight, but the victory lacked luster because Hunt at best made only a feeble effort to fight the giant Livermore youth, pe covered up and appeared afraid of Baer.

Cox, Rival Taper Off Laddie Tonelli, scrappy liahan welterweight who is to oppose Tracy Cox at the Armory tomorrow night in the first of a series of weekly boxing programs, was scheduled to engage in a light workout at the Colonial A. C. training quarters this afternoon. In his return to the local ring, Cox has been matched with a formidable opponent who has taken on all comers in and around Chicago and has established an impressive record. Tonelli, in three years of fighting has engaged in 54 fights, winning 48, losing four, and gaining two draws. Cox also was scheduled to taper off today for the 10-round battle after stepping four fast rounds yesterday with Jimmy Shannon local lightweight, who is carded for a sixround mixup with Jerry Martin, speedy scrapper from the Batsch stable in Cincinnati. Matchmaker Arol Atherton announced an opening four-round scrap between Jimmy Tudor and Ray Smith, local Negro middleweights, to complete the 34-round bill. The remainder of the card consists of Packy Gardner, Indianapolis vs. Johnny Reis, Cincinnati, heavyweights, 8 rounds; and Tubby Stafford vs. Gene Junkin, heavyweights, six rounds.

Daredevil ‘Doc’ Race Driver Has Broken Just About Every Bone in Body, but Sticks to Lure of Game.

BY HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 20.—George (Doc) Mackenzie is a racing driver. He's slight and soft-spoken, and dresses as soberly as a bond salesman. He wears a goatee and wears it in a manner which makes you think of a well established surgeon or a professor of French.

It's hard to believe, as you watch him dabble with his salad across the luncheon table, that he is one of the most reckless racing drivers in this country; that every bone in his body, from his skull to his ankles, has been broken and rebroken; and that in the past year he has won 58 races simply by doing things with a car a man shouldn’t do if he cares at all about seeing for himself if life really does begin at 40, or 35, or 30, even. tt # IN his 10 years of driving a racing car about the country, Mackenzie has run the gamut of accidents. He has blasted straight through brick retaining walls and he has hurtled over them. He has been hit from the rear, sideways and head-on. He has turned over once, twice and three times. He has seen his riding mechanic picked up lifeless. Three years ago at Indianapolis a car wrecked 100 yards in front of him, and as he swerved to miss it, the blood from his shattered friend of the track splattered up from his tires and smeared his face. v Only this year a photographer won a national prize with a picture he snapped as “Doc” lost control of his car and it bounded, bottom side up, over the passing machine of a rival driver. You’d think that such a 10-year collection of experiences would be enough for one man, but “Doc” wants more. Right now Mackenzie is preparing

City Fives to I Play Contests in Afternoon Three High Schools Make Change in Schedule; Ripple Cancels. Three city high school basketball clashes will be staged as matinee performances tomorrow afternoon : in compliance with recommendations by Gov. McNutt and Floyd I. McMurray, superintendent of public | instruction, that night games be postponed because of the existing cold wave and fuel shortage. Broad Ripple High School’s sched- | uled contest at Warren Central to- ; morrow night has been canceled. Since city schools are maintaintaining regular class schedules, it was deemed advisable to play the games in the afternoon rather than defer them. Tech Game Tomorrow Anderson High School’s Indians will appear at the Tech gym tomorrow afternoon at 2:30, instead of Saturday night. The ManualShortridge clash at the North Side gym also will be played tomorrow afternoon, instead of tomorrow night. Brownsburg, first carded to appear at the Washington High School court tomorrow night, will invade the Continental gym at 2. The remainder of the local weekend card remains unchanged, with Broad Ripple playing at Noblesville, and the Continentals at Crawfordsville Saturday night. Crispus Attucks has announced no change in a home schedule which calls for games with Stinesville and Smithville. Big Games Go On The cold wave has forced many of the rural schools to abandon regular classes and scheduled basketball games but schools in the larger communities of the state have announced definite fulfillment of their original schedules. Only one important game has been canceled, Newcastle at Greencastle tomorrow night.

for 250-mile beach and road race at Daytona early in March, and his eyes light up when he tells you of the hazards the course affords, and of the thrill in blazing into the soft sand turns which lead from the beach on to the narrow, winding biick part of the course. it it it THE daring pilot readily admits the danger of his profession—as readily, in fact, as he does his belief that he’ll meet his death in a racing car. “Sure I’ll end in a crack-up,” Mackenzie tells you. “Most of us do. Just think of the fellows who have gone in a hurry since I started. Ray Keech, Jimmy Gleason, Frank Farmer, Frank Lockhart, Stubby Stubblefield, Ernie Triplett, A1 Gordon—they’re all gone. And most of them could really tool a car, too. But try and name me a quicker, cleaner way to go, one minute you’re living in that high thrill that only a racing car, as it whips into a curve, can give you. The next—hell, you don’t know about it.” We asked if his smashes ever worried him, if he was nervous when he came from the hospital to the track.

“Not a bit. And I’ll tell you why. You won’t believe it, but I never remember a thing about the day I have a smash. It’s just a day lost. I don’t even remember getting up and having breakfast, or going to the track, or the start of the race. II fr>ads didn’t tell m3 what happened, I’d never know.” n n tt WE ASKED if there are men still in the game whose courage has been shattered. Mackenzie answered, “Yes, I can name a few. Smashups stick in .their minds. In the middle of a race they'll look at a tire or a spindle and ask themselves ‘Gee, I wonder what would happen to me if that tire blew out, or that spindle broke.’ When they start that they slow up or refuse to take chances and when you do that, you don’t win races. “I could name you half a dozen drivers with famous names who I could beat more easily than I could just a fellow off the street. They’ve got the jitters and their nerve is gone.” “Doc” says the best driver he 1 ever saw was Kelly Petillo, the boy l who won last year’s 500-mile race ! at Indianapolis. “That track never was driven be- ! fore the way Kelly drove it,” Mackenzie says. “He went into every turn with the throttle on the floor board. A lot of old-timers went to the turns and each time Petillo came down the straightaway, would bet he wouldn't get through. But he did.” (Copyright, 1936. by United Press) DUBLINSKY LOSES By Unit'd Press CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—Billy Celebron, 147, Rockford, 111., won a technical kayo verdict over Harry Dublinsky, 140.

With a losing streak of five straight hanging arour.d their necks and only two victories in the last 11 encounters, the Bulldogs face a team of veteran Sycamores this week. The feme five-man combination', which has been cavorting for the Teachers for three years and defeated Butler in the final game of last year, will make another appearance at the fieldhouse against the hapless Hinklemen. Built around the towering pivot star and football end, John Miklozek, the team presents Burton, Hinton, Eastabrook and Car? in a renewal of the series.

The 800-sters By United Press WOOSTER, 0., Feb. 20. The latest in collegiate athletics from the standpoint of the spectator is “silent booing.” Following an appeal from L. C. Boles, athletic director, Wooster College students pledged not to make oral protestations of officials’ decisions at basketball games here. However, Roge Curfman, a senior student from Cleveland Heights, 0., felt the undergraduates must express themselves. So Curfman spent a half-a-day in printing large placards with the word “Boo” in various languages. He distributed them among the student body and now when a decision doesn’t satisfy, the Woosters wave their “Boo” signs.

Purdue Faces Rough Ride to Defend Lead Two Big Ten Foes to Give State Five Stiff Test Over Week-End. By United Press LAFAYETTE. Ind., Feb. 20. Purdue's precarious perch on the top rung of the Big Ten ladder will be anything but an easy seat over the coming week-end as the pacesetting Boilermakers tackle Northwestern at Evanston on Saturday night and then return here to meet Minnesota’s ’upset’’ quintet on Monday night. Although Purdue already holds victories this season over both foes, neither triumph came without a struggle, and the Boilermaker speedsters probably will be forced to set a fast pace as they battle for the right to share in Big Ten honors for the third successive year. The immediate interest of Boilermaker fans is focussed on the return tilt with the Wildcats on Saturday night, for although Purdue holds a top-heavy edge in 27 games played since 1919, with 22 victories against only five looses, all of the recent battles have been thrillers, with last Saturday’s 31-to-27 decision no exception. The long-range shooting ability of the Wildcats provides the main worry for the Boilermakers in view of last Saturday night’s exhibition. Unable to elude the close guarding of “Red” Lambert and Pat Malaska, the Wildcats were trailing, 27-to-15, with five minutes left to play when they finally threw caution to the winds. Five long-range shots in rapid-fire yielded as many field goals, and what had been a rout was turned into a bitterly contested battle in the final seconds. In an effort to chalk up the ninth successive Big Ten victory of the season, Coach Ward Lambert intends to stick to the same combination that started against the Wildcats last Saturday. Austin “Red” Lambert will be at back guard, and fiery Pat Malaska, midget sophomore, at floor guard. Ed Elliott, scrappy senior, will be at center, with the two left-handed scoring aces, Capt. Bob Kessler an3 Jewell Young, teaming at forwards. FIGHT ENDS IN DRAW Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Feb. 20.—The feature event on the Muncie A.

they were even at the turn with medal 375.

Miss Miley, who defeated Patty Berg in the finals of the TransMississippi championship last year, meanwhile continued turning in her near-par cards. She defeated Marion Turpie Lake, Plandome, N.
