their way through Hockey League. dianapolis vs. Hershey was tried on the Coliseum ice last night and the Bars were handed down a 4-to-2 decision. It was their eighth straight victory without a defeat. They have won seven and tied one, so it pays to protest. It was a stormy evening with the Pennsy wings furnishing the lightning, the crowd the thunder, and Nick Damore the voice of doom. The initial B’ar goal came at 2:51 with Johnny Sorrell taking the final credit. Sorrel, accompanied by Harry Frost and Gordon Pettinger, crossed in front of Joe Turner in a flank movement. Joe crossed with them and the puck hit the other sice. The fireworks started when Bob Whitelaw, just down from Detroit, put a board check on Wally Wilson that threatened to bounce him up

to the ¢4 cents seats. Wally cut his face on the fencing and went down. The cost: Whitelaw got five minutes for charging and Wilson got seven stitches in his face. A Major Penalty Roger Jenkins, Bear defenseman, didn’t like Referee Johnny Runtz’ tripping decision so he got two minutes for the foul and 10 more for striking Kuntz with his stick. Bob Goldham and Connie Brown swung sticks at one another and that made four in the penalty box. Three on a side makes a very dis. interesting game. Goldham did his time and returned immediately for a holding stretch. Penalty total—28 minutes. Might be a record? The Caps evened the score early in the second period. Hee Kilrea, cutting capers with Jerry Brown and Roy Sawyer, sped around the Hershey goal and came in on Da. more unbeknownst. “Demosthenes” Pamore set up a howl like a spoiled child caught in the jam jar.

Surly Bears Plaster Star Team, 35 to 24

19th in 20 Tilts; Now For the Army

By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—Webster once variously defined a bear as 1) a large, heavy mammal with shaggy hair and plantigrade feet; 2) an

{uncouth, surly or morose per-

son: and 3) a portable punch press. Pick any description you like or take all three combined and you have the picture of the greatest professional football team ever ase sembled. Sports fans call them the Chicago Bears and although they were just 33 young men headed in different directions todey, this community will always remember them just as the dictionary says. For yesterday they blasted the strongest rival that could be sent against them—the National League AllQtars—and football's loss will be the Army's gain. The world professional champs won their 10th game in 20 starts, 85-24, in the fourth annual pro bowl game—a contest shifted from Los Angeles to the snow-covered Polo Grounds—and the 17,725 persons who paid $51,050.67 to watch them got $1,000,000 worth of thrills for the money. The Bears bade a grand farewell in the game that marked the team’s last appearance as a unit. Today at least eight of the players —Norm Standlee, Hugh Gallerneau, George McAfee, Joe Maniaci, Young Bussey, Bill Hughes, Ken Kavanaugh, Dick Plasman, and, possibly Lee Artoe—were destined for some sort of military service, but they left plenty of memories behind.

Throw Punches

They sent Don Hutson and Frank Filchok of the Stars out of the game with broken ribs and they inflicted a four-stitch cut on Sammy Baugh's face. They threw punches and they were penalized plenty for rough tactics, but they strung together three touchdowns in the second period and two more in the third and fourth to top Baugh's sensational throwing of three touchdown passes. The Stars, thanks to an intercepted pass, got off to a 3-0 lead in the first period when Ward Cuff arched a 19 yard field goal. The Stars dominated the period but the Bears really rolled when they warmed up in the second despite a slushy, slippery field which almost bogged down the quick breaking plays of their potent T formation. First Sid Luckman pitched them to the Star 12 and a few plays later McAfee climaxed the 38-yard thrust by skipping to a score from the & A few minutes later the same elusive McAfee picked up a Star punt jon his 32 yard line and gamboled

#iraced an intercepted Star pass to the Star 6 and Bob Swisher scored

on the second play. The half-time score was Bears 21, Stars, 3. It looked as if the rout were on, but the fans reckoned without Baugh. His tall, red-jerseyed figure standing cut against the snow like a candle on a birthday cake, Sammy tossed 15 yards to Perry Schwartz in the end zone for one score and five minutes later rified a long pass to Bill Dewell over the goal for another to climax a 59-yard drive in 11 plays and bring the score to 21-17. Then back came the Bears.

Luckman Passes

Luckman pitched a pass of his own, 45 yards to Ray Mclean, and the score mountd another seven points. Then in the fourth period, after being held at the end of a 79-yard march, the Bears struck again. This touchdown also came on a pass, Young Bussey to Ken Kavanaugh—but Baugh returned to the game, and with his face streaming blood, let ‘er fly again. With two minutes to go, the Stars moved from their 39 to the final touchdown. The Baugh to Schwartz combination was good for the score. The Stars, who have yet to win one of these pro Bowl games, gained 17 first downs to 13 for the Bears, com{pleted 15 of 33 passes for 161 yards and rushed for 9¢ more. The Bears clicked with eight of 19 passes for 156 yards and held the edge in rushing with 125.

College, H. S. Net Scores

Donate Purses For One Thing

By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 5—It may be presumptuous to compare Friday night's heavyweight title fight between Champion Joe Louis and Buddy Bear with such bygone pugflistic plums as the Firpo-Dempsey and Tunney-Dempsey encounters but if factual fight history means anything, this contest may turn out to be the most precedent-shatter-ing bout in the modern annals of the division.

Although Louis has already been in 20 heavyweight title fights and will mark up his 20th defense of the title he won from Jimmy Braddock just four and a half years ago when he tangles with Baer for the second time, this bout defies tradition for several reasons.

To begin with it is being staged for the benefit of the Naval Relief Society and Louis is not lifting a single cent—other than training expenses—from the proceeds. Such a gesture on the part of the owner of the most munificent title in sports is unheard of and it's more to Louis’ credit that the move was agreed on long before the United States went to war.

Baer had originally scheduled himself for 20 per cent of the gate, cut it to 15 when war was declared and then voluntarily pared it to 12%. Promoter Mike Jacobs will take nothing in the way of profits and Madison Square Garden is charging only half the usual rental.

Should Baer win, he would set a precedent almost without equal in ring records. There were few actual heavyweight champion brother combinations. Some records say that Jem Ward of England and his kid brother, Nick, held the title in turn and then, Jacob Hyer and his son, Tom.

Ah, the Receipts

The receipts may account for still another record. The present indoor standard is $201,613 established by Jack Delaney and Jimmy Maloney 15 years ago next month. It will cost $30 for a ringside rail and the other seats are scaled at $16.50, $11.50, $7.75, $5.73, and $350. In seven appearances at the Garden, Louis has set an average draw of 19,000. It will be Baer’s second try for the title. Brother of Maxie, who took the crown from Primo Carnera and then lost it to Braddock, Buddy knocked Louis out of the ring in the first round at Washington last May. The champion got back before “10” however, and at the finish Baer slumped on his stool between the dxth and seventh rounds, disqualified by Referee Arthur Donovan, because his manager, Ancil Hoffman, refused to leave the ring. It will be Louis’ third battle since he licked Buddy. A month later he almost lost to Billy Conn but finally

The ranking this week, complicated by the variable standard of holiday-tournament wins and losses, was marked by the rise of Evansville Central and the fall of Muncie Burris. Frankfort and Bedford also took a definite slip. The Hachets, annexing two more easy wins by sweeping their invitational tourney, were more closely pressed this week by Lafayette's Broncos, who defeated New Castle, 39-24, Saturday night. Horace Mann of Gary also stretched its unfaltering stiide to knock over Lew Wallace and Froebel in a city tournament and then gained quick ground last week-end by taking victories over Whiting, 40-18, Friday night, and Froebel again, 38-27, on Saturday.

Bears Have Edge

Shelbyville’s Golden Bears, however, by virtue of a longer string of regular season wins, take a slight edge over Horace Mann. The Bears lost face in the Seymour tourney by losing their second contest of the year, both to the Seymour Owls, The rise of Horace Mann pushed Marion's Giants, a strong state contender, to fifth spot, still with their defeat by Kokomo the only blemish on the slate.
