Bowling Congress Meeting Convenes DETROIT, March 29 UP) Falling pins on the floor of the Coliseum served merely as a background at the American bowling congress today as officials and delegates went into their annual business huddle. The principal business at hand was the selection of sites for the 1941 and 1942 tournaments and the election of officers. Forty-seven 3E Save By SID FEDER NEW YORK, March 29UP) There's a reservation on the 11:45 p. m.

train to Chicago tonight in the name of J. Louis. The same J. Louis the stands for Joe has a date to defend his heavyweight championship against Johnny Paychek of Des Maines at ten o'clock this evening in Madison Square Garden for the entertainment of some 15,000 customers and the benefit of the Finns. There were few boys and girls if you could find any at all willing to wager against Lous making his train connection.

Yet there was a growing belief among the inner circles along cauliflower causeway in the last twenty-four hours that maybe the corn coun try contender might make enough trouble and delay the bomber 'enough to force him to cancel his compartment. Mind you, only Johnny's best friends were telling him he had a chance to actually dethrone the deadpan destroyer in this tenth defense in his record-breaking run as fistiana's "Mr. Big." But you picked up thcword around and about that while Johnny is short on hair, he has enough speed, boxing ability and gunpowder in his right hand to say his piece and SAN FRANCISCO, March 29. UP) Portland's Beavers and San Francisco's Seals dolled up in their prettiest today for a baseball parade heralding the Saturday opening of the Pacific Coast League season here. The baseball parade, for many years as extinct as its circus counterpart, will find the ball players riding on fire engines in a procession of bands, drum corps, Mayor Rossi and city dignitaries.

Johnny Frederick, new manager of the cellar-defending Port-landers, announced that if rival Manager Lefty O'Doul makes good his threat to use Sad Sam Gibson for the opener, he, Frederick, will pitch veteran Bill Thomas. Ad Liska had been slated for the Portland mound. Frederick said he thought he could hoist the Beavers up to fourth place in the 1940 race.

(Okie) Blanchard, a former Wyominguniversity athlete with a knack of coaching winning high school teams, will coach his alma mater's football team next fall. Appointment of the Casper, high school coach as head football coach and athletic director was announced last night by Fay E. Smith, secretary of the university board of trustees, just six hours after Smith announced the resignation of football Coach Joel Hunt, to take effect June 30.

Blanchard, whose teams have been grabbing a lion's share of state titles in recent years, said at Casper he was "flattered by the honor and opportunity" of taking over the cowboy team, which made a poor showing last season. "I don't know what the conditions are at the university, but I'll do my best to cooperate with the board, the president, the coaching staff and the alumni in turning out the best teams possible," the thirty-six-year-old coach said. "I may not set the world afire but I will do everything possible in the promotion of harmony in athletics and for the university." Hunt, in commenting briefly on his resignation, said "there arose a difference of opinion in athletfe policy and an agreement couldn't be reached. "Therefore, my resignation was tendered." Reared in Casper, Blanchard was graduated from Wyoming university in 1925. He played freshman football and was a quarterback on the varsity team for three years.

He a1 was the conference 145-pound champion in 1922 and 1923. 1 Wrestling Results By THE ASSOCIATED TRESS HARTFORD, Conn.

March 29. 29 UP) The champion and the challenegr of golf's winter circuit come together here today for the first time since their paths separated in Florida a few weeks ago. At that time Jimmy Demaret of Houston, the champion, was so far out in front in cash returns from his tournament play that it seemed there'd be no catching him.

Since then, two tournaments have been played, with Jimmy not in either of them, and Ben Hogan, the challenger, has made the most of these opportunities. Demaret and Hogan were paired together for today's opening round of the $5000 "Land of the Sky" tournament. Fred Corcoran, the PGA tournament bureau manager, figured that would be a fine opportunity for the boys to test themselves out and for the customers to see the two hottest guys on the links this season. The common term for Hogan's play in winning $2200 and getting tournament records at Pinehurst last week and Greensboro yesterday is "hotter than a firecrecker." It hardly does his game justice. For a firecracker sputters and golf has hardly ever sputtered and never once exploded.

Going into this latest seventy-two-hole test, to be played over three different courses, Demaret's winnings will stand at $6152 and his point total in the Harry Var-don trophy race at 212. Hogan meanwhile has come appreciably closer. The twenty-seven year old pro from White Plains, N. has won an aggregate of $5238 and has 172 Vardon trophy points. Dizzy Moves East With Chicago Team LOS ANGELES, March 29 UP) Jerome "Dizzy" Dean, decidingeiot to remain here for treatment for his ailing pitching arm, was en route east with the rest of the Chicago Cubs team today for the opening of the major league season.

Bingham, Harvard athletic director, expressed sharp criticism last night of Chicago University's recent action in abolishing the game from its sports calendar.

Aiming his remarks at Chicago's president, Robert M. Kutchins, Bingham charged: "One reason we are in such a mess in intercollegiate football is that college administrators have allowed evils to creep in without doing anything to curb them." "But, Mr. Hutchins, admitting all the evils you claim exist in intercollegiate football and I hate them as much as you do I am grateful that many equally prominent college presidents do not share your view," Bingham said, in a speech before the eastern convention of the American Association of Health, Physicial Education and Recreation. "Many of share your fears, but they have not run away from the problem nor washed their hands of it." He said that Hutchins was "positively convinced" that the grid game had no place in a college program and that "no further research is necessary." "Since he has the physique of a Sir Galahad, he is convinced that he speaks with authority." MUNSELL, COOPER BATTLE HOLLYWOOD, March 29. CD-Southpaw Junior Munsell, Indian heavyweight from Oklahoma, and Henry Cooper of Brooklyn meet in the ten-round main eent tonight at Hollywood stadium's weekly boxing show.

Sears CASH Fashion Tailored Clothes UE Then there was the showing of Louis in his most recent outings fifteen futile rounds with Ar turo Godoy last month and eleven with Bob Pastor last fall. Many had come away from those two tea parties shaking their heads in the belief the greatest champion since Dempsey is slipping. So the expected 15,000 of the faithful are going to chip in to an anticipated pot of around $88,000 tonight to see if "it ain't true." Promoter Mike Jacobs figures the thing will pay as well as the Go-doy-Louis festivities February 10, which drew less than $2000 short of $90,000. Whatever" the" total take this time, the Finnish relief fund cuts in for ten per cent of the gross "off the top" as the box office men have it. Then Louis, who draws down his usual forty per cent, is going to turn over 7 per cent of that, and Pay check will donate 2't per cent of MARCH VAL Totals 786 813 762 2361 BENETTI NOVELTY Player 1st 2nd 3rd Tot.

Fist Thigh Calf Ankle KANSAS CITY, March 29 UP) Ther. nation's basketball- coaches and officials, here for the Kansas-Indiana NCAA championship game, got together today to chew the fat about changing the rules. There wasn't much sentiment for any drastic revision among members of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the national rules committee. The main complaint seemed to be about the difference in basketballs in various parts of the country. "In the first three games of early road trips this season we used three types of balls," said Sam Barry of Southern California.

"Coaches should get together and decide on the best type of ball and then use it." The optional ruling which gives the fouled team its choice of taking the ball out of bounds or taking a free throw also is due for consideration. Some coaches suggested that to speed up the game the optional rule might be applied only to the last two or five minutes of play. Some clarification of the screening rule, interpreted differently in different parts of the country, also seemed likely. The Indiana team was due here today. Coach Branch McCracken planned light workouts in prepar ation for the championship meeting tomorrow night.

(Eight p. C.S.T.) Coach Phog Allen of Kansas is letting his squad rest and catch up on studying. SEEK RECORDS NEW HAVEN, March 29. UP) The seventeenth annual national collegiate swimming championships opened todav with 173 entries from thirty-six leading in stitutions and an expert opinion that this classic would nrodnrp more photo finishes during its two- day run than Hollywood does in a month. The exceptionally laree number of competitors and schools caused meet officials to forecast many new marks.

Coach Bob Kiphuth of Yale, the expert, said: 'When you get outstanding swimmers from coast to coast and border to border such as Al Vande Weghe of Princeton, Charley Bark er, Gus Sharamet and Francis Heydt or Michigan, Paul Wolf of Southern California, John Hieeins and Harold Stanhope of Ohio State, Eric Cutler of Harvard, Andy Clarke of Wayne and Howard Johnson of Yale, many of them defending N.C.A.A. titles and slated to oppose each other; there only one prospect, a flock of photo finishes."

Of course, the chances are Johnny, an eight to one long shot, won't be as happy as most of them, but Paychek's pay check from the af fair won't be anything to cry about. Louis, scaling approximately 202, will have a 12-pound pull in the weights when the state ath letic commission checks them in during the day, and that, on top of everything else, makes him this corner's choice to sing Johnny to sleep with his bombs in no more than four rounds.

From there, unless Paychek pulls one out of the hat a la Jim Braddock it looks like Louis will go on to two more fights this year, the next in July. There has been talk he may cut his vacation short and tussle with someone in June, possibly meet pretty boy Bil ly Conn, but that's up to Mike Ja cobs, Five preliminaries three at six rounds, two at four support the top attraction.
