lenn 1» Hardin Training for Movie Career

Former L. S. U. Runner Says Nine Years of Sport Is Enough.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—“Take your slimy hands oft that girl, or I'll drill /8& bullet through your yellow carcass—" v I had paused to knock at the door of the hotel room as these words hissed through the transom in a purple stream and spilled into the hallway. Puzzled, 1 looked again to verify the room number. It was the right room all right, but— “Come to my arms darling. You mean more to me than life itself. I love you,” continued : the voice that broke over the Williams transom like romantic breakers. I knocked anyway. A tall, slim, young man answered. He had a sheaf of papers in his hands. He smiled apologetically. . “I was just practicing my dramatic lesson,” he explained. “The movie people think they can make an ac- ~ tor out of me.” The last time I had seen the young man was at the Olympic Games in Berlin; that was the day he put on a burst of speed on the - flat to run away from all his competitors in the final of the 400 meter hurdles. At the finish everybody in the press box agreed Glenn Foster Hardin was the greatest high hurdler in the world. ~ That wasn’t so long ago and the chances are he still is, but as the foregoing suggests, the country boy from Greenwood, Miss. has turned his back on athletics and embraced the drama. He’s dead serious about it, too. . . . “I've had nine years of athletics and that’s enough. I don’t know whether I can make good in this acting racket, but I have been advised to give it a whirl. I'm taking dramatic lessons three times a2 week and they say I'm making progress. Even if I flop I figure I haven't lost anything.” U. 8S. Team Strong

The team which represented America in the last Olympics was probably. the strongest that ever competed under the Stars and Stripes. But already this team has been badly shot by withdrawals. Hardin is through. Jesse Owens, the one-man track team, is an out-and-out professional. Jack Torrance, the giant shot putter, has turned to the prize ring with a view to pro- _ fessional distinction. Led by Dor- ~ othy Hill, a number of the girl swimmers have harkened to the siren call of the box office, and there is the Eleanor Holm Jarrett ~ affair—which is becoming rather ~ boring, by the way. Young Hardin and Torrance were _ class mates at Louisiana State University . . “I saw Torrance when there a few weeks ago and he’s trying powerfully hard to learn how to be a prize fighter. He works out in the gymnasium every after- . noon and he's on the road for a * long run every morning. You know he was overweight in Germany. Weighed about 325 pounds. Now he's down to 280 and while that doesn’t exactly make him a midget, it’s good weight for a man of his size. I sure hope he makes good. ° Say, what do you think. of his chances?” Tradition Against Him I told the young man I had never seen Torrance with the gloves on but the tradition of the ring was against him. As a general thing when heavyweights scale above 210 or 220 they don’t amount to much. When they get bigger than that they carry too much beef for their own good. The subject of Olympic discipline came up, prompted of course by the Jarrett case. . . . “I don’t know anything about that case personally,” said Hardin, “but if she broke training I'd say she ought to be punished for it. We went over there as athletes and it was our business to keep in training until the games were over. That was one of the ~ main understandings on which we went over.” Suggests Honor System The young man had stopped to ~ light a cigaret. . . “I'm a ham actor now. So I can smoke these ~ things,” he laughed. discipline, I don’t see why the OlymFic officials don't put this matter in the hands of the athletes themseives.

Striebeck Duo Tops Rivals in Tenpin Session

Falls City, Barbasol, Marott’s Pass 38100.

BY BERNARD HARMON

The Indianapolis League scorched the alleys in copping the spotlight of last night's pin activities, the 12 teams pounding the maples for a floor average of 986, its best of the current season. Three quintets passed 3100, three hurdled the 3000 barrier and 25 individuals soared over the 600 line, two passing 700. The race for solo honors developed into a family affair, with the Striebeck brothers turning in the loop’s 700 counts in their battle for the top spot. Eddie, who was in action with Bowes Seal Fast, rolled opposite Paul of the Marmon-Her-ringtons, the former copping honors

8-13 | on a 719, three pins.over his younger

brother. Eddie used games of 266, ‘229 and 224 for his bulging series, while Raul, who is enjoying a banner season, collected 246; "236 and 233 in his three efforts.

Eddie with series of 656 and 631, giving the Seal Fasts games of 1131,

arid a double victory over their opponents. With Bud Schbch lending Paul the aid of a 628, the Marmons clicked with a 1037 to nab the final game. With every. member in the 600 class, the World's Champions. Falls City Hi-Brus turned in some championship scoring, topping teams of the circuit: with a 3131 from games of 1008, 1058 and 1065. Clarence Mack paced the quintet with a 646, Freddie Mounts had 641, Carl Hardin 636, Charley Cray 608 and Joe Fulton 600. The champs took a shutout victory over Packard Motors, who with the aid of Walt Heckman’s 644, and Leo Ahearn’s and Chuck Markey’s 607s closed with game$ of 1033 and 1041 for a 3022. Barbasols, Marotts Shine

The Barbasol quintet was also in a scoring mood and with each of its representatives passing 600, threatened the Hi-Bru’s supremacy with a 3128. Paced by Don Johnson's 662, the team tacked up games of 1044, 1003 and 1081.” Scores of the other members were: John Fehr, 640, Jess Pritchett Sr. 611, John Murphy, 608 and Lee Carmin, 604. The Barbasols scored an easy three-game victory over Coca Cola, which failed to land a man in the select class. Trailing the Barbasol five by one pin, Marott Shoes took an oddgame decision over Lieber Beer. The Shoemen used counts of 1004, 1024 and 1099 for their 3127, while the Beermen nabbed their lone win through an 1127 finish. Paul Stemm with 673, Ed Stevenson ‘with 641, Harry Wheeler with 636:and Carl Mindach with 618 made the huge total possible for the winners, while Bob Wuensch with 668 and Phil Bisesi with 659 starred for the losers. In the remaining team clashes, Fendrich Restaurants shutout In-

from Hudepohl Beer. - Jack Hunt's 604 was the top solo series of the

‘two matches.

Uptown Leaguers Hit Stride Scoring in the Uptown Recreation League was also on the upgrade, and although ‘no teams clicked to the tune of 3000, 10 soloists enjoyed 600 totals. Kuhn’s 659, rolled. in the Puritan Bed Springs double victory over Ko-We-Ba Coffee topped the individual scoring. The winners featured a 1020 middle game, while the losers tapped the pins for .a 1048 in their final effort. Sachs and Link with 653 and 613 were best for the losers. Fred Beck collected 643 pins in his Beck's Coal and Coke Co.'s sweep over Coca Cola, and Bill Bowen and Elder tossed 632 and 618 as L. Strauss & Co. handed Federal Tires three defeats.
