OLLOWING the signing of the experienced Ray Schalk as manager of the Indianapolis Indians, President Norman A. Perry evidently has come up with a second smart business move by appointing Leo T. Miller as Tribe general manager. . . . At any rate, Francis Dunn of the Buffalo Times sizes up the former business director of the Bisons in glowing terms and congratulates the Redskins for swinging the deal. . . .

13" JINX BY HOCKEY PLAYERS

MONTREAL, Nov. 27 (U. P).— Big time hockey players have their superstitions so all hoodoos, Indian

signs and jinxes have been avoided, including the fateful number “13.” The National Hockey League official list ot players numbers for the 1937-38 season avoids the unwanted digits on all eight clubs and the only missing figure is the number «wm of the Montreal Canadians. The “lucky number” was taken out of circulation when Howie Morenz died as a tribute to the famous Canadian star.

NOW YOU CAN TELL ONE

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 27 (U. P.) — EE. L. Batty wagered he could make a pirdie on a par-five hole. He not only made a birdie, he made it with one stroke. His opening drive caught a sparrow in full flight. Ball and bird fell in the rough. Batty, arguing that a birdie was a birdie, collected.

Earns Match by Taking Decision Over Pastor.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (U. P).— Nathan Mann, New Haven, Conn, heavyweight, and Tommy Farr, British challenger who stayed 15 rounds against Joe Louis, will fight a 10-round match in Madison Square Garden Jan. 21, Promoter Mike Jacobs announced today. Mann earned the shot by beating Bob Pastor, the former New York University football player, in an uninteresting 10-round affair booed by 6600 fans in the Garden last night. The Connecticut clouter tried to make a fight of it all the way, but he was handicapped by Pastor's continuous holding and backpeddling, the same tactics he used in staying 10 rounds with Louis early this wear. The United Press score sheet gave Mann five rounds, Pastor two and called three even. Referee Artie Donovan took the fourth and fifth from Pastor for low punches, but Mann had a wide margin in both sessions. A more experienced fighter might have knocked Pastor out. Mann's awkwardness in following up some tremendous wallops enabled Pastor to stay the route. A hard right hook to the jaw sent Bob spinning to the canvas in the first round, but he got up before the count started and hung on until the bell. In the fourth, fifth and sixth, Mann rocked Pastor to his heels, but could not put him away. Mann weighed 185% ; Pastor, 183.

Ruggirello Stopped By John Henry Lewis

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, Nov. 27 (U.

The champion weighed 18312 pounds, Ruggirello, 207. Lewis was the aggressor throughout the three and one-half rounds the fight lasted. He downed the Italian four times with stunning rights and lefts in the fourth round before the referee stopped the fight.

Harry Thomas makes hay while the sun shines on a golden opportunity—a 15-round match with Max Schmeling at Madison Square Garden, Dec. 13.

Mann Booked K 0.'d Louis in Workout, Schmeling’s Foe Claims

Thomas takes

By HARRY Sports Editor, NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Because

Baer, some of the boys have an idea that Harry Thomas may stir up some trouble for Max Schmeling in what generally a warm-up for the ex-champion at

nothing more than

time off from piling logs to spar with his brother, Joe Pontius, on their parents’ farm near Eagle Bend, Minn, where the blond engineer did his preliminary training.

GRAYSON NEA Service he is a swinging puncher like Max

is expected to be | the Garden Dec. 13. |

It will be recalled that Baer, bringing roaring roundhouse blows via | the Holland Tunnel, smacked Schmeling all over the place and stopped |

him in 10 rounds one scorching? June night in 1933. The man warning Schmeling in sternest tone is Jack Hurley, who managed Thomas for a spell. Hurley is the chap who brough out Billy Petrolle, the old Fargo Express, and is a pugilistic prognosticator of some repute. While Schmeling’s staunchest admirers were feeling sorry for the Black Uhlan, Hurley was telling the cockeyed world that the Pretzel Pounder would belt Joe Louis all the way back to the Buckalews. Hurley also predicted that Jim Braddock would treat Louis simiJarly. The Dakota cauliflower deal- | er was wrong on that occasion, but tine error can be traced to the fact that he'd make Freddie Bartholomew a favorite over Louis, so little | does he think of the Brown Bomber.

Blocks With Hard Head

Hurley isn't exactly picking | Thomas, but insists that Schmeling | selecting the Minnesotan from a list | submitted by Mike Jacobs once | more illustrates just how little Joe Jacobs has to say about his matches. “Joe Jacobs wouldn't make this mistake,” asserts Hurley. Thomas is in New York for the first time, after preliminary work on his parents’ farm near Eagle Bend, Minn., and in a Chicago gymnasium. He professes not to consider the distance—15 rounds—to his dis= advantage. Thomas—teal name Pontius— talks a good fight without meaning to be boastful. vanked from the cabin of a Southern Pacific locomotive in 1932 by his uncle, Dan Thomas of Los Angeles, Thomas is said to have peen the first to demonstrate that Louis couldn't shake off a solid sock around the head. Hired by the Bomber When Louis traveled to Los An= geles to drop Lee Ramage like a broken airplane for the second time, Thomas was engaged as a sparring partner. “I hit Louis on top of the head in our first and only round and he went into a tailspin and stayed there,” explains Thomas. ‘They fired me, and I've wondered ever since just what would happen if 1 nailed Louis on top of the head with my hand in a small glove. 1 wouldn't bother to aim for his tem= ple. I'd just hit him on top of the head.” 1f Thomas were as versatile ingide the ropes as he has been outside of them, he'd be a whiz. Raised on the Eagle Bend farm, he played considerable end and wrestled at Trinity College of Morn= ingside, Ta. He was in turn a minor league catcher, cowboy, and locomotive fireman and engineer. A rough and ready sort who looks the part, Thomas stands six feet one, and weighs 195 pounds. He has bowled over or halted 60 of 71 opponents and lost only five decisions. He knocked out Dynamite Jackson and Pal Silvers in 1036, took 10-round awards from Art Sykes and Charley Belanger, lost to Unknown Winston in six, and was outstaggered by the stringbean Negro, Jack Trammell, in 10. He knocked out Billy Jones in St. Louis this year, dropped a disputed decision to Roscoe Toles in Detroit, and recent= ly repelled Max Marek in Chicago. The Ferocious Frankfurter asked for a warm-up. He'll get one.

Drake Team Beats |

Miami U,, 7 to 0

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 27 (U. P).— A last-period touchdown by halfback Bud Suter gave Drake University an intersectional victory over the University of Miami last night, 7 to 0. A crowd of 9000 attended. The Drake team was superior throughout the game. Early in the final period, with the ball on the Miami 45-yard line, Drake took just fine plays to cross the goal line, Suter, Manders and Underwood carried the ball to the Miami 11yard line. Suter slashed through right tackle for the touchdown. Manders kicked the extra point. Twice before the Des Moines team had been deep in Miami territory but was halted by a stubborn defense.

Colorado U. Studies Bid

Game With Villanova in New York Likely.

BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 27 (U, P.). -Colorado University's athletic board has approved an offer from Villanova for a charity game in Yankee Stadium Dec. 11, it was learned today.

The offer, received yesterday, was one of four invitations extended to the undefeated, untied Buffaloes who ended the season Thanksgiving BY 4 defeating Denver University The faculty's approval and the agreement of the football men themselves would complete negotiations for the game. In the event the faculty and the players approve the offer, which is almost certain, the team will resume training immediately, Coach Bernard (Bunny) Oakes said.

The other offers which were rejected by the school’s athletic board came from Dallas, Tex. for a Christmas day game, El Paso, Tex. for a Sun Bowl game, and a Los Angeles game seeking the Rocky Mountain Conference champions for another Christmas day contest. The Buffs, led by Byron (Whizzer) White, the nation’s leading scorer, will meet Sunday to make their

White, Bershak Are Stars In Class and on Field

By JERRY BRONDFIELD NEA Service Sports Writer

Time was when the popular conception of an All-America football

player was a gent who could punt

50 yards, pick his way the length

of the gridiron for a touchdown and intercept enemy passes all over

the lot. Once in a while he went to tha

t class in English Lit. at 10 o'clock

where the pretty brunet in the next seat made carbon copies of all her lecture notes for his express benefit,

The trend in 1937, however, is just® a little different. Byron White of the University of Colorado and Andrew Bershak of North Carolina University, two seri-ous-faced, bespectacled young collegians who attained the ultimate in gridiron fame this year—AllAmerica—are exhibits A and B respectively. Colorado's sensational quarterback and the Tarheel end, who is regarded by many as being the finest wingman Dixie ever has produced, are two of the most brilliant boys in their universities. The higher levels of political science, literature, economics and business organization hold no terrors for them. For three years they have starre® not only on the gridiron but on the basketball court as well. And for three years they managed to attain scholastic averages so high that now, as seniors, they possess Phi Beta Kappa averages. White, in fact, is in the upper 3 per cent of his class and is an outstanding candidate for a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University in England. He is president of the student body and law is his chosen career. His name is Byron but practically everyone calls him Whizzer, or just “Whiz” You need only to see him in action on the gridiron to figure out the derivation of the nickname, His quiet yet warm mannerisms, aided by a soft Western drawl, have made him immensely popular. Whizzer White is everyone's friend and he isn’t adverse to saying howdy to the lowliest freshman student manager. Handy Andy Bershak is pretty much of the same pattern. He en-

joys his football and basketball. Certainly he does. He gets a great kick out of tossing a halfback for a five-yard loss or hauling the ball out of the air for seemingly ime possible catches,

Student From Word Go

But Andy Bershak knows that football wasn't meant to be his life's work. He's studying business ade ministration and studying is the word. Andy Bershak cuts no classes or turns out work just good enough to get by. All his efforts are his best efforts. And like White, he, too, heads the student body. Somehow, a boy has to have plenty on the ball to accomplish what he has done and expects to do. Coaches prefer boys who are brilliant in the classroom. They're well aware of the fact that smart boys make smart football players. Vard Stockton, California guard, and Clint Frank, Yale halfback, are two other All-Americas of 1937 who bear out this theory. They, too, have combined athletic ability with scholastic achievement, And like Andy Bershak and By=ron White they know that the final payoff is on brains.
