“THE PRESSBOX
By JIMMIE AN GELOPOLOUS Ivan Petrovich Pavlov never played hagkethall up i in the
Calumet region.
So Crispus Attucks’ Tigers won't have to guard Pavlov
when they tackle South Bend Central Friday and East
Chicago Washington or Jeff Saturday in Marion Crawley's hotshot holiday tourney at Lafayette this week-end. One Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was a Russian physiologist. Pavlov experi mented withdogs. He tested gastric secretions and flow of saliva in the mutts’ mouths in his famous stimulus-response of 3 tests. Pavlov would ring a bell, Angie

then give his dogs some food. He would repeat the process and soon
the dogs became conditioned to
hearing a bell, then expecting to eat food. He could measure the flow of saliva as the dogs, conditioned to eat after hearing a bell, eagerly waited for chow. The con-dition-response became habitforming. Then. Pavlov changed tactics. He rang a bell, but didn’t feed the dogs. The canines searched hungrily for the food that didg’'t come after the bell rang. But the dogs’ physiological responses flowed still more, = » » IN THINKING of the coming] crucial tests for Attucks this week end, I'm reminded of Pavlov and his dogs—and their habitforming experiments. And perhaps this isn’t a bad day for all to count our many blessings. The trend of Attucks’ last three games rings the bell to me, It's just an observation. The The Tigers won ’em all handily on the scoreboard, but the victories didn't come that easy. For example, Attugks was down 17 to 10, against Hye starting the second quarter. Then—boom! Attucks made 22 points while Howe was getting only four, It was 34 to 23 at the half. , Starting the fourth-——Howe crept up until it trailed only 43 to 37.
remains to be seen, CENTRAL AND East Chicago |
Washington have the height, the| scoring punch, the tough sched-| {ules and the ruggedness to. give
Attucks a going over. So does | Cre awley’s outfit, which ‘has lost only two games. Washington is still unbeaten and Central has lost. only to Washington, Attucks is No. 1 on the UP poll in the state, the Senators are No. 3 and Central is No. 8. Central has unusual height. Only one boy—Paul Harvey, who is 5-10—is below the two-yard
{mark on a roster of 12 boys. And
the weight is there. Washington's Ed Juratic, one of the two top Senator scorers, is 6-5 and 195-pounds.. He's big enough to keep Attucks thirsting for rebounds—an item that could hurt the Tigers. Vic Molodet is only 5-10 but he’s the other prolific scorer for the’ Senators. Phil Tracy is 6-4 and 180. Jeff has 6-4, 185-pound : Bill Lange and rugged Jim Cahoon, a 6-1, 200-pounder, among others. I mention weight because this game of roundball can be won or lost under the boards—a place where a team can be worth its weight in goals. South Bend Central

Rams Coach To Talk Pact
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 25 (UP) —Los Angeles Rams football Coach Joe Stydahar was expected to meet “within a few days” with
club officials to discuss a new contract, it was reported today. Stydahar, 29-year-old former Chicago Bear lineman who hails from the mining town of Shinnston, W. Va., held only a one-year contract, which was renewed at the end of the 1950 season for a like period. Off his record of capturing the national football league cham|pionship, when the Rams defeated Cleveland 24-17 Sunday, Stydahar probably will receive a substantial pay increase on a longer term basis.

Shrine West Stars Test Defenses of Stanford Indians
By United Press STANFORD, Cal., Dec. 25—8ix« teen West Shrine all-stars tested Rose-bowling Stanford's defense during a 45-minute scrimmage yesterday. The results were ine conclusive. The Indians, who meet Il¥inois in the Rose Bowl Jan. 1 dominated action during the early part of the scrimmage. Then West stars, who meet the East at San Francisco Dec. 29, began to find some flaws in Stanford’s make-up, = = EJ BACKS FRANK GIFFORD and Hugh McElhenny tore through Stanford’s line for several good gains. It was impossible to determine how far the West ground gainers would have churned, because whistles were blown stopping plays after the ball carrier shot past the scrimmage line. Stanford Guard Jesse Cone, who injured his knee mid-way through the season, diagnosed the West
attack well and stopped plays ef- ~
fectively. Coach Chuck Taylor said it appeared Cone has fully recovered. The Stanford offense held only a light drill on a separate field. Some Stanford players will leave for Los Angeles by air tonight. Others will leave by train tomorrow night for the Stanford camp at Arrowhead Springs. The team resumes training tomorrow.
