Amateur Prize
NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (U. P.).— Greg Rice, chunky little Notre Dame alumnus and the greatest distance runner America ever has produced, went pto Amateur Athletic Union records .today . as the 11th winner of the James E. Sullivan Memorial Trophy. The award, given annually to the amateur athlete who “by his performance, example and influence as an amateur and a man, has done
the most during, . the year to advance the cause of spor tsmanship,” went to the fleet-footed former Notre Dame track captain by a onesided vote of 602 sports leaders throughout the United States. Rice, who stands five feet Rice five inches on tiptoe and takes three strides to his rivals’ two, polled a total of 1013 points, more than the next two of the five finalists, from an original list of 33 nominees. Al Patnik of Ohio State, the national diving, champion, was runner-up with 500 points and Fred Wolcott, Rice Institute hurdler, next with. 479. Cornelius Warmerdam of the San Francisco Olympic Club, who boosted the world pole-vault record to 15 feet 1% inches last June, came in fourth with 476, and Joe champion from Chicago, fifth, with 404. Points were awarded on a 5—3—1 basis. Although no date was set for the presentation of the trophy, SecreTay Tronsuier Daniel Ferris of the . A.

The best 160 go on to tomorrow’s round, with the top 75 pros and 10 amateurs left for Saturday's third-round play. The tournament is a 72-hole affair.

Three previous Qakland winners were entered: Sammy Snead (1937), Harry Cooper (1938), and Jimmy Demaret (1940). Dick Metz, the 1939 winner, remained in Les Angeles with influenza.

With: Big Bill Menke at the center position and Bob Dro at guard, this combination clicked well in scrimmage, and the Indiana mentor indicated it would start at Illinois. Ed Denton, 6-2 sophomore guard, has been lost to the I. U. squad for at least a ‘month. The Jeffersonville, Ind., boy broke one.of the fingers on his left hand in a scrimmage session, Denton played in six of Indiana's eight non-conference tilts, and was just beginning to hit his stride, Coach McCracken said, today. “In addition to the power Illincis already has shown in its eight games, we will have to hope that.the law of averages won't get us,” Coach McCracken said. McCracken’s first Indiana team edged by Illinois, 29-28, and last season his Hoosiers won, 38-36.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9 (U. PJ). Alice Marble may be the world's No. 1 woman tennis player, but Chicago's cheers went to’ plucky Mary Hardwick of England, after three bitterly fought sets in the stadiumelast night. Miss Marble won, 4-6, 7-5, 9-7. Three times the slender English gir] had Alice match point in the second set of their second match in a professional tour and each time she lost it. The small crowd of 7234 suffered with her. Miss Marble quickly ran out the set and with stinging, angled drives mixed with an effective drop shot she gained a 5-1 lead in the second set. Miss Hardwick, continually on the run, nevertheless forced Alice into repeated errors and deuced the final set before faltering in the 16th game.
