Cappy . Wells

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 16—A bum ticker may force Maj. Walter Wells to retire from the 'U. S. Army. He writes . . . “The medicos finally caught up with the results of my misspent youth and decided that I have a. dilated aorta.” .... At the

moment they are giving him a further going over at the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington. Everybody in sports knows the major as “Cappy.” For years he was attached to West Point as publicity director. In this capacity one of his principal functions was to jh 3 beat Lae drums : for the football Williams team. He was operating at a time when the Army and Navy were heaving 16-pound sneers at each other. The two service schools had broken off athletic relations, leaving the public somewhat mystified and uncertain as to which side to support. It was into this situation that Cappy, a tall, gray-eyed, pleasant fellow, stepped as the Army’s front man. He wasn’t altogether responsible for the Army’s strategy in selling its cause to the public but he was the soldiers’ most active contact man with the press and air waves. For the most part he merely delivered the packages that had been wrapped up at the Point by Maj. Phil Fleming and Capt. Biff Jones. Fleming was the athletic director, Jones the head football coach. They made an extraordinary combination, this trio. Fleming was a suave diplomat with many charms; Jones was a hearty, robust fellow with an engaging personality: Wells was the type that fit easily and comfortably into any grouping. They didn’t have much trouble in selling the metropolitan . press on the validity of their caude. ° As you may recall the two service schools clashed over eligibility differences. The Army had a practice of using men who had already played football in college. The Navy didn’t. This wasn’t wholly a matter of choice on the of the midshipmen. Disparity of entrance limits produced the situation. . A boy was—and still is—eligible fo enter Annapolis between the ages of 16 and 20. Admission to

‘A West Point is from 18 to 22. Thus

tract matured college men, even if it so desired.

To repeat, that was the crux of | sid

the Hatfield-McCoy feud of football. It became a fighting issue when Navy formally adopted the threeyear rule to take effect in July, 1928, and issued an ultimatum to the Army with this pointed sentence, “Rejection of the eligibility feature will be considered as rejection of the contract.” This referred .to a four-year contract between the two Schools entered into in October, 26. : The Soldiers refused to adopt the three-year rule, which would limit the varsity career of any player to three years no matter where he played the three years. They went further and charged the Midshipment, in effect, with running out on a duly signed contract. It was at

Q—Is it the general opinion of experts that Jack Dempsey should have won his second fight with Gene Tunney regardless of the famous “long count?”

A—It seemed to be the opinion of many observers present that Dempsey was probably not fast enough to catch up with Tunney and follow up his advantage after the latter arose from the knockdown. Buf, of course, this is only opinion and no one can say what might have happened. v Q—Did Canisius College defeat Long Island University in basketball in the 1936-37 season?

PROVIDENCE, R. L., Feb. 18 (U. P.)—Sam Allen of Oklahoma Baptist College today was just another former world’s record holder. Walter K. Hall, 18-year-old Boston College freshman, defeated him in the first Knights of ‘Columbus Club games last night, shattering Allen's world record of 5 7-10 seconds in the collegiate 45-yard high hurdles, clipping 1-10 second from it. He duplicated Allen’s world mark in shading its owner in the final. Ben Johnson equalled the generally accepted world record of 4.4 in the collegiate 40-yard dash. Glenn © Cunningham won the Bishop Francis P. Keough mile. Gene Venzke was second and Don Lash third.

this point that the firecrackers of propaganda began to pop on both es.

The Army decided to try their case in the public forums. The Navy seemed to enlist the statesmen of the country. The fight reached the floor of Congress ana ultimately it came to rest on the doorstep of the White House.

Point and Annapolis from playing anybody until the two schools patched up their differences. President Hoover remained officially. unconcerned until pressure finally was brought to bear on him io bring the two teams together in a game for charity. And it was interesting to note that this game was played under the eligibility terms of the old contract. This was the rst important victory for the three musketeers, as the press was beginning to refer to Fleming, Jones and Wells. The breach had been healed, temporarily at least, and the Army hadn’t retreated an inch from its origina position. .

Tension Lessens

From then on the tension and bitterness gradually was lessened and in due course the old rivals were back in the arena playing their annugl game as if nothing had happened—and the Army still was using ex-college players, a complete victory for the three musketeers. All along, the Army's contention had been that it stood solidly on the platform of “equal opportunity for every cadet,” that every bona fide cadet in good scholastic standing should, ipso facto, be eligible to represent the academy in sports or anything else, that in short, the Army's primary job was.to turn out officers and football was a vital part of the training. ; This had a ring of logic and validity to it and the three musketeers lent themselves to every available chance to mount the public pulpits and cut loose with vigorous sermons on the serious business of perfecting first-class war leaders. The campaign must have been effective, because Army teams continued to pack ’em in while Navy, during the run of the feud, was reduced to the status of a second-class power.

Knickerbocker : Goes to Yanks

NEW YORK, Feb. 16 (U. P.).—As added insurance that their key=stone sack will be well-covered, the world champion New York Yankees today acquired shortstop Billy Knickerbocker in a trade that sent utility infielder Don Heffner and cash to the St. Louis Browns. Knickerbocker might get the second base job should rookie Joe Gordon, coming up from Newark, fail to live up to expectations. There also is a chance that he will get the shortstop :call should Frankie Crosetti, who hit only .235 last year,

go into a prolonged batting slump.

Knickerbocker is 27 and played with the Cleveland Indians for four years before going to the Browns, He batted only .261 in 121 games last year. Heffner is thé same age as Knickerbocker, and is one of the surest infielders in baseball. His weakness at bat kept him out of the regular Yankee lineup.

so sad with his story of Evil Eye Finkle that not even a whale could have lifted my spirits. Evil Eye Finkle, as everyone knows, is’ a professional hexer. One glance from his eyes, when he means business, and the person they are focused upon is jinxed clean down to the third generation. Evil Eye discovered his power seven years ago in Miami, when a rocking chair he was managing came out to do battle with Joe Knight, a top-notcher at the time. Evil Eye, needing the winner's end of the purse to get out of town, turned his hexing orbs on Knight, who immediately went into a trance and lost 10 straight rounds to a guy he figured to belt out inside of three heats.

” » 8 “yg AST week,” Lou Diamond moaned to me, “I make my first start as. a promoter in Rochester. I am very happy because as my headliner I am able to get Freddie Steele, the middleweight champeen. He is not easy to sign when I tell him that Irish Bob Turner is the guy he has to fight, because Turner is very tough, and has defeated a lot of good guys. But he comes around and puts his name on the paper when I tell him that as a special favor I will bring Evil Eye Finkle to put the ol’ hex on “Irish Bob.’"” : {As Diamond told it, Evil Eye was dn Washington putting the sign on the Supreme Court for a certain party at the time, but for a “C” note and expenses agreed to make the trip to Rochester. “When he got there,” Diamond lamented, “he went straight to Turner’s hotel and waited for his victim in the lobby. When ‘Irish Bob’ came out of the elevator on the way to the arena Evil Eye gives him the works. He glares at him clean across the lobby, and follows him down "the street, putting on the hex at top speed. After about three blocks I told him to lay off —that I didn’t want Turner to faint before he got in the ring— but he wouldn’t mind.” # » ”

Terms were not revealed, but it was reported that Jensen signed at the same salary he ree ceived last year. ! The Pirate announcement set at rest rumors that Jensen would not be offered a new contract because. of his attack on the management and President William E. Bene swanger, . An announcement from the club said: “That Benswanger took no steps of reprisal is indicated by the
