‘SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

"THE American Bowling Congress up to the current campaign awarded medals for 2247 perfect 300 © games in the 45 years the Congress has maintained rec- - ords, and this season has added 43, bringing the total to 2290. : : An examination of the averages of this season’s 43 “wonder shooters” by Eli Whitney, the A. B. C.’s press chief, shows that the average of these perfect bowlers

is 181. “Eight, of the new 300 tenpin spillers are 200 average men; 11 are 190 shooters; 14 are in the 180 class; four each in the 160s and 170s; one in the 150s, and one holds a meager 136 average. Highest single game by a woman bowler in the country this season was posted by Sara Hannblom, Chicago, who rolled a 298 recently. . . . She had 11 strikes, then missed the head pin and left it up along with the No. 2 pin. . . . Boy, was that giving the maple soldiers & terrific beating! ? : ° Sara joined the Pabst Blue Ribbon Ladies team about two months ago and rolled the 298 while the squad was rolling up a national women’s single game record for the season, a 1103 game .... Needless to say, many men’s tenpin squads would get a bang out of chalking that mark. : In achieving the 1103 total, the Blue Ribbon Ladies came up. with the following individual scores: Capt. Betty Ramsey, 206; Agnes Pitelka, 215; Kay DeBonis, 200; Sara Hannblom, 298; Emma Munzel, 184.

Clearing Up Penalty Shot Rule

PRESS BUREAU of the American Hockey League believes an “educational program” on rules, penalties and what have you is. worth trying in building up interest in the ice sport. . . . First step in this direction is a “piece” on the penalty shot. The shot is called but rarely, yet throughout the American League ice rinks fans are often heard shouting at the referee to call one when a player is tripped. . . . The rarity of this penalty, plus the interest in it, indicates that there are some points of the particular rule in doubt. 2 The rule specifically states that “when a player in possession of the puck is tripped or otherwise fouled and thus prevented from having a clear shot on goal, having no other to pass than the offending player, a penalty shot shall be awarded to the non-offending side. Nevertheless the referee shall not stop play, until the attacking side shall have lost possession of the puck to the defending side.”

» ” 2

#8 = THE TERM “possession of the puck” probably needs explanation. . . . “Possession” means the act of propelling the puck with the stick. . . . If, while it is being propelled, the puck shall touch the person of another player or shall hit a goal post or shall go free, the players shall be deemed no longer in possession . The whistle is delayed on the penalty inasmuch as another player of the attacking side might pick up the loose puck and score a goal. . . . In this event there would be no penalty shot award, but the penalty provided for in the rules for the particular foul would " be called and the oending player sent to the penalty box. It is to be noted the rule that “notwithstanding the award of the penalty shot, the penalty, prescribed . . . for the offense leading up to the penalty shot, shall also be imposed. . . . ”

Old Bowls for New in Football

DON'T BE A FISH and bet that Tennessee and Boston College were undefeated in “1940.” . . . There’s a trick to the football wager cooked up by the smart boys who are always on the lookout for a ‘sure thing. Tennessee was defeated by Southern California on Jan. 1, 1940, - in the Rose Bowl. . . . And Boston College lost to Clemson in the Cotton Bowl last Hangover Day.. In other Bowl tilts last January Texas Aggies defeated Tulane, Sugar; Georgia Tech downed Missouri, Orange, and Catholic University and Tempe Teachers (Arizona State) played a scoreless tie at El Paso in the Sun Bowl. ” ” ” ” ” PITTSBURGH will be the site of a “big” grid game on Sunday afternoon next fall. . . . Duquesne and St. Mary’s of California are booked to battle there on the Sabbath. Duquesne may add other Sunday dates at home. . . . The school desires to get away from Friday night games on account of the weather gamble as well as a shortage of publicity. . . . While on Saturday afternoons it has to compete with the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech. . . . Pacific Coast Catholic colleges and several in the East have turned to playing on Sundays for similar reasons. ;

City Teams Triumph in 5 of 8 Contests

TONIGHT New Castle at Tech. Decatur Central at Broad Ripple. Shortridge at Southport. Masonic Home at Manual,

Greenfield at Cathedral. Zionsville at Howe. Crispus Attucks at Moral.

City high school basketball teams

cluding their most prosperous weekend of the youthful season following a night in which the locals won five and lost three. : Shortridge goes after its fourth victory of the season against Southport, and one on the right side of the ledger wiil look especially good after the Blue Devils’ 33-27 triumph over. Shelbyville yesterday afternoon. Tech, idle last night, has North Central Conference company at the East Side gym in New Castle. Manual’s Redskins climbed to a 500 mark last night by slowing Speedway, 28-20, and are in a position to further improve their record against Masonic Home of Franklin. Washington will be on furlough this evening, and maybe it’s a good thing in view of the 41-15 walloping the Continentals took last night from Wiley of Terre Haute.

Irish Win Opener

Cathedral started with a bang by besting Brazil, 35-22, and comes back tonight to entertain Greenfield. Howe, 23-20 loser to Noblesville, meets Zionsville, while Broad Ripple engages Decatur Central. Moral is host to Crispus Attucks, 32-28 conqueror of Jamestown. : The week-end work of Sacred Heart and Park is over. Last night Sacred Heart won from Fishers, 30-24, while the Prepsters dropped a 24-19 decision to Batesville. Shortridge meshed 13 shots from the free throw line, and in the end it was this accuracy that was responsible for victory, since bath the Blue Devils and Shelbyville scored 10 times from. the field. Chuck Benjamin hit two field goals and eight free throws to pace the North Side attack, while teammate Dave Strack sank four field goals and one one-pointer. : Blues Take Lead

A second-quarter rally put Shortridge back in the ball game after the Golden Bears had gone to the front with a 10-5 lead. At the half Shortridge led, 16-14, and threw out a stingy defense to lead, 26-16, at the three-quarter post. ' The ZJontinentals were held to a single field goal in the first half while Jim Peerman and Bob Voges headed a vicious Wiley attack that sent the Terre Haute club into a 20-7 lead. It was the same story in the second half, with Wiley in command, 29-8, at the third quarter. The Red Streaks in all hit 16 of 54 shots, while the Continentals scored thrice on 42 bucket attempts. The Irish got rolling in the second quarter and built a quartertime lead of 4-2 into a 13-4 advantage at intermission. Leo Barnhorst of Cathedral was high-point man of the evening, scoring 12 points, while Hurrle of the Irish and Shearer of Brazil each tallied nine. Drive Falls Short Accuracy at the foul line was mighty helpful to Manual, too, as both the Redskins and the Sparkplugs made eight buckets. Manual had its own way in the first half and held a 16-3 edge at the midway point. Sparked by Joe Roberts and Joe Powderly, Speedway scored 17 points in the second half, but the

* | Redskin lead was too great to over-

come. Sacred Heart led all the way in beating Fishers in the latter’s ballhall. Tom Williams scored nine points to pace the victors. Howe hit seven field goals to Noblesville’s five but couldn’t match Noblesville’s high percentage from the free bar. The Noblesville crew made 13 of 17 charity tosses. In the fourth quarter Howe evened things at 16-16 but was unable to match the host team’s stretch drive. Batesville took Park off the unbeaten list by overcoming the Prepsters’ 8-7 margin in field goals with a 10-3 advantage from the foul line. The Reichelmen started with a bang and once led, 5-0. But Batesvile

and held a 10-7 lead at intermission. Weigel of Batesville led the scorers with 11 points and also had the honor of scoring Batesville’s only firs:-half field goal. ; Crispus Attucks maintained its advantage in the second half to beat Jamestown after leading 14-13, at the half. Armour, with 14 points and Mathews, with 10, set the victors’ pace.

Overlin Keeps Chin and Title

NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (U. P.).— Six weeks ago Ken Overlin climbed from the floor, retained his middleweight boxing crown by outpointing Steve Belloise and said he had{ been knocked down by a sucker ‘punch that never would catch him again, Last night he proved himself more of a prophet than a fighter. Through 15 dull rounds ih smokeclouded Madison Square Garden Overlin carefully and scientifically avoided the Belloise right hand before 16,353 cash. customers. The young challenger got only one clear swing 4t Overlin’s chin and when it was all over the ex-sailor was declared winner and still champion. It was a slim and hardly brilliant triumph. The customers, primed by a hectic battle in the previous meeting, began to clap and boo as early as the third round. They kept it up to the end and when the split verdict was announced they hooted both performers for almost five minutes. Referee Arthur Donovan voted for

Butler, Toledo, Bradley Get Good Sendoff

By DON SANDERS NEA Staft Correspondent

BASKETBALL in the Big Ten and Midwest should be even better this season than last, when the section contributed a national : . collegiate champion and several other contenders. . Indiana, which won the N. C. A. A. tournament, is a favorite to dethrone Purdue from the Big Ten championship, although. the conference generally will be improved. Notre Dame, Toledo, Bradley, . Butler and DePaul will all be strong. Lost to Coach Branch MecCracken’s Indiana squad by graduation are three lettermen, including a brilliant guard, Marvin Huffman. With a group of 11 letter winners back, speed, ball handling and offensive drive will again be keys to the Hoosier attack. : Paul (Curly) Armstrong, who was leading point getter last season and stood high in Big Ten scoring, heads the forwards. Two others—Jay McCreary and Herman Schaefer—will alternate with Armstrong in sharing the bulk of the forwards’ duties. Big Bill Menke, center- for two years, is back, with a sophomore, Andy Zimmer, as his chief understudy. Veteran Bob. Dro returns at guard, and Zimmer will. play the other when he’s not at center. Other backcourt candidates are James Gridley and William Torphy, lettermen, and Irvin Swanson, a little sophomore with an upcanny shooting eye.

Nelson Blasts Par to Lead

MIAMI, Dec. 14 (U. P.) — Six strokes under par at the half-way mark, Byron Nelson showed the survivors How-to play golf today .in he $10,000 Miami Open championship. ‘ : Nelson, 1939 National Open champion, blazed a five under par 65 over the second 18-hole round yesterday for a 36-hole total of 134, two strokes under his closest challenger. Of the 200-man field, only the low 75 professionals and ties and the low 10 amateurs and ties qualified for the final rounds—18 holes today and the 18 tomorrow. : Nelson, who now is professional at the Inverness Club in Toledo, O., became a favorite to cop the $2500 winner’s money. Nelson’s nearest challenger was swarthy Ben Hogan, White Plains, N. Y,, pro, who had a 36-hole total of 136. Hogan, a co-medalist at 67, posted a: 69 yesterday. Only a stroke behind Hogan was Ben Loving of Springfield, Mass., the other co-medalist who shot a 70 for a halfway total of 137.

man want to — and they'll have their heads examined if they don’t —they can start Tom Harmon, Dave Allerdice, Forest Evashevski and Milt Piepul. i That's a four-man football plague, pure and simple. Harmon is the greatest runner of this year, certainly, and he may be the greatest of all time. Allerdice of Princeton provided most of the poison in that Ivy College’s attack. He’s the hottest passer since Baugh and O’Brien operated for Texas Christian, and the team he had to protect him wasn’t much. When a fellow completes 23 passes for 353 yards, as Allerdice did against Pennsylvania, you know he chuck in any league. Evasheyski is the blocker. To be exact, he’s the blocker that Har-

One of Northwestern's big handicaps is lack of a regular floor. Patten gymnasium has been razed; games will be played on the Evanston High School ceurt. Six lettermen are missing, including five forwards, so an offensive thrust is the main problem. . Six lettermen form the nucleus of Minnesota’s squad, and Coach Dave MacMillan expects to have a better balanced team than las season’s. Center berth is the biggest worry at Michigan, with six veterans available. Chicago's attack will be changed to met the requirements of a squad of less height. Iowa will also be short; six jun-. iors should develop as the season progresses. J ” ” CENTER PROBLEM is pressing at Notre Dame. One of the leading veteran candidates, Joe Gil- .

Golden Gloves Champ Proves Right to Title

Bobby Burns, Ft. Wayne Golden Gloves champion in 1939 and again this year, proved his worth by taking a shade decision from Robert Simmons, Hill Community Center lightweight, in the feature bout of last night’s amateur mitt card at the Armory. i Burns was awarded the decision after five rounds of toe to toe slugging which saw Burns landing frequently with a right cross to the jaw. Both battlers mixed willingly,

#: |but a last round rally by the Ft. * | Wayne mauler gave him the nod.

A three-round semi-final heavyweight brawl went to Jethro Jeffers, local Leeper A. C. 187-pounder, by decision over Mason Vent, Kokomo giant who is 6 feet, 4 inches tall and tips the beam at 235 pounds. Vent battled gamely but--a right hook to the body piled up points for Jeffers, who had Vent bleeding from nose and mouth at the final bell. A three round inter-city rivalry fracas between Elmo Latta, classy Leeper A. C. bantamweight, and Bud Thomas, 112-pounder from Ft. Wayne with a fighting heart as big as the water bucket, stole the show.
