SPORTS... By Eddie Ash
ASA S. BUSHNELL, a leading sports authority and who is executive director for Eastern intercollegiate athletics, has addressed a timely letter to America’s colleges and newspapers pointing out the benefits of sports during
the emergency. - The director, from his New York office, urged sports leaders to avoid hysteria which may prompt impulsive cancellation of numerous games and meets “just for the sake of doing something of a seemingly patriotic nature.” , . . He advised awaiting developments and on the basis of the then known demands of war-time, deciding what events should be dropped, what events altered in nature, what events added. “It is my own studied opinion that athletics are sorely needed by a people at war,” Bushnell's letter continues, “and that the best ‘way for sport to perform its valuable function is by maintaining its program of activity in the face of the emergency in as normal proportions as possible. \ “After all, following the initial shock of the start of hostilities, life goes on in surprisingly regular manner in a country which is fighting a war. “Those in training for service can't train all of the time; those engaged in war industries or auxiliary pursuits must do something pesides work: those who are bystanding civilians need diversion and interests which take their attention away from war extras and radio reports of occurrences at the front. 5 ® » EJ = = “ATHLETICS MEET the needs of all these groups,” Bushnell asserts. “They can contribute materially to physical fitness among prospective members of the armed forces, they can provide relaxation and entertainment for the civilian population, and they can set a proper example of fortitude and build morale on the home front. «Athletics should be used to the limit in times of stress. To do this athletic directors and other sports leaders must go ahead With their programs, and perhaps even intensify them. They should not consider abandoning these programs unless and until they create interference with the war effort or with defense plans.”
Juzwik Withdraws From Eastern Grid Team
STEVE JUZWIK, Notre Dame right halfback, has withdrawn from the roster of the Eastern team that is to meet the Western AllStars in the Shrine charity game in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans Jan. 3. . . . Steve received word that he would be called into the nation’s service during the Christmas holidays. Bernie Crimmins, Notre Dame guard, will be the lone Hoosier college gridder participating in the game. . , . Lineups of the two teams are limited to seniors. Jim Brutz, Notre Dame’s senior left tackle, who was named on The Times’ All-State team, was voted “most valuable player” by his teammates. . . . He played 406% minutes out of a possible 540 during the 1941 campaign. . . . Bod Maddock, senior guard, was tops with 413% minutes and Owen Evans, junior fullback, was second with 408%. , , . Brutz was third.
IN THE EVENT the war ban on West Coast football is still in effect next fall many college schedules will be upset—if there is bigtime intercollegiate competition in 1942. Notre Dame is scheduled to play Stanford at South Bend and Southern California at Los Angeles. . . . And there is a possibility that varsity football will be suspended at Annapolis and West Point, . « « Both Navy and Army, as usual, are on Notre Dame's schedule and 1942 calls for Navy at Notre Dame,
Hee Kilrea Used to Be a Sprinter
HOT OFF THE ICE as dished out by James Burchard of the New York World-Telegram: “Some years back the fleetest hockey stars did their stuff in a one-Jap race against time around the Montreal Forum. “It seemed a cinch for the late Howie Morenz. But he wound up in a tie with the late Babe Seibert, and Hee Kiirea beat both of them by 3/5 of a second. (Yeah, that’s our Indianapolis Hee, by heck.) “It just goes to preve that you can't judge speed on the ice by fancy skating that catches the eve. “And the bravest men in ice hockey, for our money, are goal judges in Winnipeg. They do their judging standing on the ice just behind the nets, and have to be experts at quick ducking to remain in one piece. “They look like human targets dodging baseballs in a Coney Island sideshow, particularly when they call a close ene against the home team.”

Rolls First 300 Game in Local Ladies’ History
By HARRY MORRISON * “I got five Brooklyns when I rolled the 300 game. That's how I know it was luck. “If it wasnt luck, then a lot of other girls would have bowled it before. That's how I know.” Tt was a still excited, terribly happy Bertha Urbancic who relived her experiences of last night, when, at the Fox-Hunt Alleys, she became the first woman in the history of the Indianapolis Women's Bowling Association to roll a perfect, 300 game. “I didn't think about it, until the fifth frame. Then I wouldnt think about it, until the other bowlers noticed my eighth straight strike,” she said. “Then everyone let out a yell. Pretty soon they started drifting over to watch me. You know how it is. Tt, was wonderful. Everyone was pulling for me to get a perfect game, . A Close Cal
“In the 10th frame I h head pin full on the nose. afraid one of them wasn't drop, but it did. In the 11th, ball was right in there. “Everyone quit i watch that last ball. I I was nervous. All I knew had to make it. “I threw the ball. I don’t remember anything about a minute after that, except that I thought it was a little off. I saw a great big 299 up there. Then they went down. I threw up my hands. “Everyone swarmed over me. I didn’t have any feeling.” Miss Urbancic said she started to hurry a little about half through the game. Then Damsel Baxter, of the Marott Shoe team, who was bowling against Bertha's White Rock team, held her back. “She kept me from pressing too much,” Bertha said. “I was trying to get rid of the ball too fast.” “But 1 still say I was lucky, because all those Brooklyns went down. A Brooklyn brings the ball in from the wrong side and most of the time, it will leave a pin standing. “When one of the early Brooklyns went down, I turned to Tillie Pesut and said: “I'm shaking the hand of Dame Fortune.”

mark of 196 and Bill Dickey’s feat of catching 100 or more games for his thirteenth season. During the 13 consecutive years he has caught over 100 games per season Dickey has worked in 1518 games, which falls short of major league record of 1756. One of the season’s surprises was the fact that Charley Gehringer, Detroit’s peerless second baseman who is likely to hang up his spikes as a regular before next spring, was still good enough to lead the second sackers. In handling a total of 614 chances Gehringer was charged with only 11 errors for a mark of 982.
