Thorp Holds Brumbaugh

By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent MIAMI, Fla. Jan. 2—Mr. Tom Thorp, who somehow manages to find time between stewarding at race tracks, writing a newspaper column, and defending his national free style eating championship, to referee many of the nation’s top football games, thinks that Boyd Brumbaugh, who won the Orange Bowl game for Duquesne here yesterday, is the

best back he has seen all year. This is high praise, indeed, for

during the 1936 season Tom Thorp : 3 saw some sweet ones. Among the

games he worked were Yale and Princeton, Army and Navy, Notre “Dame and Navy, Pennsylvania and Princeton, and Yale and Dartmouth, which means he saw in action such capable talent as Monkey Myers, Clint Frank, Ken Sandbach, Little Bill Ingram, and the Messrs. Kurlisch, Handrahan and Murray, net to mention the Notre Dame workmen. “The only fellow I saw in the same class as Brumbaugh,” Thorp said, as he yanked at his linen knickers in the dressing room, “was Clint Frank of Yale. And he wasn’t as good. Did you ever see a sweeter piece of work than that winning pass in the last quarter?” :

Pass Was Perfect No, we never did. And that goes

for the ‘17,000 others gathered in’

the sunshine oi the Orange Bowl

It was one of those passes that you read about 1n boys’ books, with Duquesne trailing 7 to 12, and with no more than four minutes left to play, Brumbaugh faded back to his own 40 for a pass. As he took his stance and swep. the field for a possible receiver, two Mississippi State linemen laid their hands on him. Coolly, Brumbaugh fought them off with his free hand until he spotted Ernest Heferle, an end, out in the open and running hell for leather on Mississippi State’s 25-yard line. Then, with a desperate lunge, he shook himself clear of his tormentors, leaped in the air, and let fly. The ball dropped into

Heferle’'s arms as he turned around;

and he went on for the touchdown that made the final score 13 to 12. The other Duquesne touchdown was of Brumbaugh’s making, too.

With his club behind 12 to 0, he]

went to work in the second period and almost single handedly carried the ball 62 yards for a score. In this drive he tore the Mississippi line apart. And at the tackles and guards, too. They couldn't stop him. They would hit him at the line of scrimmage and he "would ‘drag them five and six yards before going down.

Strong on Defense

Brumbaugh was not only a giant on offense; he was equally potent at defense, making more than his share of tackles and doing a great Job at pass defense. He outshone Mike Basrak, Duquesne’s famed

1 center, which was no mean task,

for Mike, once he quit reading his newspaper clippings in the first period, was a holy terror. “He was so far and away the best center I saw all year,” Thorp said, “that I can’t think of any second.” Thorp expressed the belief that “Pee Wee” Armstrong, Mississippi back, was the best passer he had seen. “Armstrong worked under a handicap,” Thorp said, “because in the L. S. U. game he sufferca a broken collar bone. He was all strapped up on his pitching side, but that didn’t keep him from throwing strikes. Given good health and I would hate to try and name a better passer.” Mississippi State scored in each of the first and second periods, with Armstrong throwing the ball for consistent gains. Duquesne tallied in the second period and the fourth. Pickle, who had an off year this season after running wild in 1935, must take the blame for the final Duquesne score. - He allowed himself to be”pulled in, and then outrun by Hefferle.

High Schools Meet in First

Fans Get Chance to Match Teams’ Strength in Fieldhouse Clash. .

The highlight of the local high school basketball season so far is to be the Shortridge-Tech battle at Butler Fieldhouse tonight. It will be the first real test of local talent and. should prove of interest to fans who figure in advance the potentialities for sectional and regional possibilities. Officials of the two schools estimated that the crowd tonight would be the largest to witness a high school game this season. Yesterday afternoon the Blue Devil team turned back the Bloomington five, and last night Tech dropped a fast game at Richmond. Tonight's game starts at 8:15 p. m.

Shortridge Defeats Bloomington ,18-13

A failyre to connect on long shots proved fatal f6r Bloomington's Panthers in the downstate gym as Shortridge’s Blue Devils ‘hung up their sixth straight win of the season by an 18-13 margin. Shortridge held a lead through-

Panthers to three field goals. Shortridge got a fast start when Fred Fobes, Paul Alley, and Jack Clayton scored for a 6-2 advantage, after Junior Wampler and Eithel Galloway tallied the only Bloomington points with a pair of charity shots. Clayton also hit a free throw before the quarter ended with Shortrige on top, 7-2. Winfred Headley, Bloomington center, shot two field goal early in the second period and Lexie Mills made one and a free shot to boost the Panthers’ total to nine points.

and Carl Klein swished a foul toss to keep the Blue Devils’ 112-9 advantage at the intermission. Shortridge rapidly drew away from Bloomington in the third stanza. Bloomington’'s only scoring came on Wampler’s free throw. The quarter ended with Shortridge eight points ahead, 18-10. A Bloomington spurt in the final period failed to catch Shortridge. Fred Fobes with eight points, and Jack Clayton with five, appeared best for the Blue Devils, while Headley and Mills, with five and four points respectively, paced the Bloomington attack.

Richmond Beats Tech In Overtime Game

Times Special RICHMOND, Ind. Jan. 2. — Joe Juhasz, Richmond Reserve, made a basket in the overtime period here last night to give the Red Devils a 31-30 victory over Technical of In_dianapolis. Richards, Tech center, had a chance to tie the score with 50 seconds remaining in the overtime, but missed the first of two free throws. With less than a minute to play in the regulation period, Bob Fletcher made one of two free thows to tie the scoe at 29-all, but missed the other which would have won the game for Tech, eZ The Green and White players held a 21-14 advantage at the half. William McDonald, Tech forward, was knocked unconscious early in the third quarter when he fell under the basket. He was rushed to the hospital where his injuries were termed as not serious. The incident seemed to shake the moral of the Tech players, however, and :-they failed to stem a victory rally staged by the Red Devils. Summary: RICHMOND (31) G T Lundy,f

Mooresville Tops Manual, 32 to 18

George Fields, substitute player, led the Mooresville (Ind.) High School basketball team to -an easy 32-10-18 victory over Manual of Indianapolis at the former's gym. The defeat was the local squad's fifth of the season and their fourth in ga row. Manual’s desperate attempts to score in the final session were marred by frequent fouling on the part of both groups. Coach Wilbur Cummings’ boys had gained too large -a-score, however, for the local team to; overcome and in the last few minutes of play both coaches gave all their boys a chance by substituting frequently. Fields and Bob York were outstanding for the winners while Roy Hibner and Loeper fared well for the losers.

Cathedral Whips St. Mary’s, 33-26

Staving off a late rally that fell short of tying the score, Cathedral defeated St. Mary's of Anderson, 33-26, before a holiday crowd of 2000 at the North Siders court. The Irish were off to a 9-4 lead and increased their margin to 22-9 at intermission. 2 A fury of fouls greeted both teams in the third quarter and resulted in the ejection of Joe Gillespie and Bob ‘Fitzgerald on personals.

By United Press SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Jan. 2.—DePauw University's basketball team prepared for its game with Springfield State Teachers’ College tonight, after losing an overtime game to Drury College Panthers, 42-37, last night. DePauw was leading 27-15 in the first half, but loss of Franke, star center, on fouls, enabled the Panthers to uncork a second half rally which tied the score at 37-all when the gun fired. James, a substitute forward, broke the tie with a field goal. White's basket and a foul by James clinched the game.

Tennis Talent to Face Initial Try-Cut Jan. 4

By United Press

CORAL GABLES, Fla. Jan. 2—With a ‘hakeup in America's 1937 Davis Cup forces long since predicted, tenr 5 experts the nation over will watch the field of stars who begin the 1 *w year’s competition with the fifth annual Miami Biltmore champions (ips here, Jan. 4-10.

Headed by such outstanding players as Bitsy Grant of Atlanta, Frankie Parker of Spring Lake, N. J., and Bobby Riggs, 1936 National Clay Courts titleholder, the tournament: ranks high as a proving ground in the search for new talent. Grant does not necessarily fall into that classification, since he was a member of the United States team last year, but he was denied the opportunity of competing in the inter-zone finals against Australia. Harris 1936 Victor

The Miami Biltmore event has served as a proving ground for

Davis Cup timber in the past. George Lott was the winner the first two years, being succeeded by Grant in 1935. Last year the title was won by Charley Harris of Palm Beach, a virtual unknown, who eliminated Arthur Hendrix of Lakeland, Fla., in the finals. Grant was defeated by Hendrix in the semifinals. / Sidney Wood and Francis X. Shields, veteran Davis Cup stars, also have competed here along with such other outstanding players as Hal Surface and Cliff Sutter. Dod Budge of California is regarded as the only sure member of the 1937 Davis Cup team. Wilmer Allison is not expected to seek a berth, so it is not at all unlikely that one or more of the contestants here will fill a vacancy. Assuming that Grant is in line for a position on the team, providing he seeks it, it boils down to a battle between Riggs and Parker.

Parker Yet to Win

Parker, protege of Mercer Beasley—one of the country’s foremost

racquet authorities—never has won |

2 major title, although he sparkled as a junior star. It was Riggs who, in 1936, was his chief stumbling block. Opponents in the finals of four tournaments, Riggs and Parker each was victor twice. Riggs beat Parker for the clay courts crown in three sets, then lost to him at Spring Lake, N. J., a little later. At Newport, R. I., Riggs again was the winner, but required five sets. The pair also met in the finals of the Longwood (Mass.) championships, Parker triumphing. Play here will mark the first time either Riggs or Parker has competed for the trophy donated by Col. Henry L. Doherty, president of the Florida Year-Round Clubs, now held by Harris, who also shared in the 1936 doubles championship with Martin Buxby of Minneapolis.

All-East Team Tops West, 3-0

By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.—By the slender margin of a field goal

Princeton University, an Eastern team of All-Americas and other assorted stars defeated a Western eleven 3-0 in the annual East-West Shrine charity game here before a New Year’s Day crowd of 40,000. Proceeds go to the Shriners’ Home for Crippled Children. Refusing to bend under the powerful pressure of a well-oiled Western running attack, the Easterners fought their heavier opponents to a standstill and then edged in their winning three points in the third period. Larry Kelley, Yale's All-America end and one of the major attractions, put the East in position for the winning kick. Early in the third period, Kelley took a forward pass from Sandbach for a gain of 17 yards to the West's 16. Bill Kurlish Pennsylvania fullback, drove through the West line for a first down in two plays, but there the East drive halted and Sandbach dropped. back for his decisive placekick. During the first half, the teams battled on nearly even terms, with the Westerners gaining a slight edge on the strength of Ed Goddard's long-distance kicking. : Early in the fourth quarter, Kent Ryan, Utah State, playing safety for the West, fumbled a punt by Clarence (Ace) Parker, Duke University. Merle Wendt, mainspring of the East's defense, recovered. They drove through for one first down,

hit 26 out of 45 shots for the almost y

unheard of average of .559. From the foul line they made good on nine of 12 attempts for an average of .750. : ‘Once in Blue Moon’

The shooting displayed by the Deanmen “happens only once in a blue moon,” according .to Jimmy Morris, Butler trainer. Kenneth Gunning; Hoosier for=ward, who led the scoring with 135

points, was the only team member

with a shooting average below .500, He averaged .461 with six field goals in 13 attempts! With Fechtman controlling the tip-off constantly, Indiana's taller and heavier team showed its speed while in control of the ball tut was prevented from going under the basket by the Bulldog defense, except on a few occasions. Indiana’s defense was more than adequate, holding the Butler players to shots from well outside the foul circle most of the time.

A crowd estimated by Butler

officials at 10,000 fans filled the Fieldhouse almost to capacity.
