' By J. A. BURCHARD Times Special Writer NEW ‘YORK, Jan. 8.—Mervyn (Red) Dutton, manager of the New York American Hockey Club, became highly indignant the other evening when the Rangers scuttled his boys by 7 to 1. It wasn’t the size of the score that annoyed Dutton so much but the manner in which it was accomplished. Throughout the game Roy Worters, American goalie, was suffering

Butler's six defeats in seven games apparently haven't lowered the team’s spirit, and the Bulldogs seem determined to throw off thé “jinx” as they call it. The Butler squad has been drilling on

from a rupture. Under the circumstances Dutton regarded the Rangers’ sustained attack as brutal

and unsporting. It just happened that the Rangers weren't aware of Worters’ ail=ment until 15 minutes after the game. But what if they were? Should they have eased up, or should they have made the most of their opportunity and scored as often as they did? :

..Prize Riddle of Sports That, it appears, is one of the

"prize riddles of sport. It is debated

in boxing, football, baseball and the less rugged competitions. Mercy vs. the killer instinct! Is it sound sporting conduct to pull your punches when your opponent is on

+ the ropes or to blast him into the

middle of next week? Lester Patrick, Ranger manager, is all for blasting with a slight reservation. “We'd try to protect an injured goalie by not skating into him, but we'd certainly do our best to run up a big score. Points are bread

‘ and butter to hockey players. A , manager spends years to build up

morale and spirit, so why destroy them by ordering the players to hold back? And don’t forget the spectators. They pay to see both teams do as well as they can. If one team is noticeably not trying, even the less skeptical customers might shout, ‘fraud!’ ” Favors Full Steam Records disclose that Conny Smythe, . maestro of the Toronto Maple Leafs, also is a disciple of full steam ahead, regardless of the situation. His team crushed the Americans in 1932 by 11 to 3. Worters was hurt, and Allan Shields attempted to enact his goal-tending role. Did the Leafs become charitable and give Shields. a break? They did not. They hurled rubber at the. floundering substitue until they had attained double figures in the scoring column. Football provides a strange mixture of sentiment anent the advisability of kicking a man who's down. Chief among the Kkeep-punching coaches is Francis Schmidt, of Ohio State. He’s been nicknamed “Shut The Gates of Mercy” Schmidt. If his Buckeye eleven rolls up 40 points, he says, “Great! Go out there and get 40 more.” Witness the 60-0 shellacking Ohia State handed New York University. Think of Fellow Man Many football coaches undoubtedly would like: to adopt Schmidt's methods, but are held back by thoughts of their fellow man and the future. After all, if you rub it in to the point of humiliation, an excellent drawing card may withdraw from your schedule. * Notre Dame elevens under Knute Rockne could qualify as real Killers of the gridiron when the occasion demanded. Who can forget the Notre Dame-Penn contest of 1930? Marty Brill, spurned by Penn, needed vindicating. So the Irish lashed Penn, 66-20, and Brill scored three touchdowns. Hard-boiled Jock Sutherland, surprisingly enough, shifted to the mercy side of the fence in the recent Rose Bowl game. With his Pitt team landing’ Washington by 21-0, Sutherland twice retired his regulars when they threatened to pile it up. Dempsey Had Savagery Boxing draws its very life from the killer instinct. The gladiator who hesitates to smash a reeling foe.

. is a rarity. : Jack Dempsey, most

popular slugger since John L. Sullivan, was savagery personified. Imagine Joe Louis -politely pulling his punches until a wounded foe recuperated! | The million-dollar gate is founded upon knockout ‘blows, not tenderness. Even so, Max Schmeling has experienced his soft moments. In 1932, with Mickey Walker battered and out on his feet, Schmeling twice appealed to the réferee to stop the fight. Failing in that, he tried for a merciful knockout that put Walker down for a count of nine. Fortunately for Schmeling’s feeling, Walker didn't come up for the next round. ? Dempsey’s urge to destroy possibly cost him the opportunity to regain his crown in the.second Tunneysfight. He stood over Tunney, anxious to deliver the finishing thrust, instead of hurrying to a corner following the famous “long count” knockdown.

Tudor was on the floor for a 5-count in the first and Tierre tasted resin in the second. Lee and Buckler were well-paired and both suffered eye lacerations during the melee. On two occasions they fought after the bell and in the fourth round it required a lot of tugging by Referee Cooley and the towel swingers to separate the frisky glove throwers. They also went overtime in the ninth, and in the .tenth both fell out of the ring. However, they still were swinging at the close of action.

Illinois to Seek Stars ~ Within Law of Big Ten

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. 8—Conservative athletic leaders at the University of Illinois stepped forward today with a plan to recruit athletes within the Big Ten law. While other major colleges toyed with explosive ideas on subsidization Athletic Director Wendell S. Wilson outlined a “legal” nine-point program asking no concession from the Western Conference. It lay most of the burden upon alumni, who will sponsor an exhaustive campaign to advertise the university to prospective freshmen. More scholarships based on competition and merit will be sought. Establishment of a central employment agency on the campus was urged. “We are convinced it is possible to attract desirable athletic material without violating any rules,” said the youthful successor to the late George (G) Huff, veteran director of athletics. “This movement does not in any sense abandon the high principle by which Illinois athletics always have been guided,” he said. “It definitely is not a front for undercover subsidization.” : While Huff: was in command, Illinois consistently refused to cut any corners where athletes were concerned. There even were reports Illinois cracked down on them in
