WRESTLING FANS FOR BQUTS Wrestling fans are expected to jam Chestnut arena to the rafters Wednesday night to greet Max Baer, former world's heavyweight boxing champion, who referee for an all star grapple card.

A large portion of the ringside and reserved seats have already been sold. Heading the star New Year's night card are Paul Boesch and Gino Garibaldi, who was crowned Italian champion in San Francisco two weeks ago. These stellar grapplers will work over the two hour, three fall route and should stage a classy show for the customers. Tony Felice and Abe Kaplan, as rough a pair of grapplers as the promoters could find, will tangle in the one hour, three fall semi-final bout. Baer will find it plenty hard to keep these boys gentle.

They make a practice of swinging on the referee and may hold no regard for Baer's fistic prowess, if the swinging mood overtakes either of them. Abe Coleman, one of the five best wrestlers in the world, will make his first Pacific coast appearance on the card. He meets Jerry Monahan, rough westerner, in a thirty minute, one fall match. am arena ROS BOWL ODDS SHIFT OVER WEEK-END PASADENA, Cal.r Dec. 30.

Coach Matty Bell, Methodist men tor, planned an outdoor drill today behind locked gates at Occidental College. Bell finally tossed off his pessimistic attitude and took Sunday's prevailing odds as the score his Mustangs would take Stanford. "My guess is as good as any," he said.

"I like my club, 10-7. That will take a field goal by Maurice Orr." Orr, his 210-pound kicking tackle," has accounted for thirty-seven points by field goals and conversion points in the twelve games the Mustangs have won. Bell -declined to be absolutely cheerful, however, shifting back to one of his favorite subjects the potency of Bobby Grayson, Stan ford's all-America fullback. "He's all-America if ever there was one," Bell said in commenting on the line bomber, who has accounted for 597 yards of his team's 1,729 gained from scrimmage. Bell planned a frequent shuffling of five bulky guards to offset the double wingback line thrusts Stanford has driven into every opposing line thus far.

FIGURE SKATERS IN COMPETITION NEW YORK, Dec. 30. (JP) Eight of the finest figure skaters in the United States, survivors of a double preliminary test, will glide and whirl tonight in the final competition for national figure skating championships and places on the Olympic winter sports team.

Three pairs, most of them th; same skaters who will compete in the men's and women's singles, also will be in action. Robin Lee of Minneapolis, defend-: ing the men's is only sixteen. Competing against him is the. free-skating test, which will be. judged on the basis of skill, accuracy and smoothness of performance, will be nineteen year old Erie Reiter New York and two comparative vet-: erans from Boston, Roger F.

Wh-rWhlle Jimmy Braddock says the search for a "white hope" to beat Joe Louis can wait until Joe and Jim have clashed, the nation's boxing writers list the world's heavyweight champion as the "second fiddle" to the dusky Detroit bomber. The 1935 heavyweight rankings made today by the Ring boxing magazine on the basis of a sports writers' poll list Louis at the top of the class with Braddock in the second division. While this- is unusual, the Ring's editor, Nat Fleischer, points out that other heavyweight champions have beeij ranked below challengers in the eleven years the ratings have been made. One champion in a lower bracket this year is considered equal to a challenger. Small Montana, Filipino Wearer of the flyweight crown, is rated a shade below Benny Lynch of Scotland.

In the bantamweight division Balcazar Sangchelli of Spain, who lifted the crown from Panama Al Brown; Sixto Escobar of Puerto Rico, recognized in the United States as titleholder, and Lou Salica of New York are grouped together. Babe Riskd of Syracuse, who holds American recognition as middle rated third in the second group of middle weights. Marcel Thil. of France, senerallv considered as titleholder, stands alone in group one. Louis not only is ranked as leader, but he figures in most of the year's outstanding events in the ring.

Except for Braddock's surprising feat of lifting the. crown from Max Baer, tne principal events of the year were Louis' quick knockouts of Baer and Primgo Camera and the "million dollar" gate at the Baer-Louis bout. Due recognition of Braddock's ability is given in placing him alone in tne second group of heavyweights with Max Schmeling and Camera paired in. group 'three. The fourth division includes Tommy Loughran, Max Baer, Hank Hankinson, Charley Retzlaff, Buddy Baer, Ray Impellitiere, Eddie Mader, Al Ettore, Ford Smith and Paulino Uzcudun.

In each group, into which the ratings of the various divisions are separated, the members are considered approximately equal although they are listed in order of their rankings. Other group two fighters in various classes are: Light heavyweight, John Henry Lewis and Maxie Rosenbloom- twit- erweight, Barney Ross; lightweight, Tony Canzoneri; featherweight, Freddie Miller. All except Rosenbloom are recognized generally as the champions, although the New York and Illinois commissions have declared Miller's title vacant and are seeking a successor. -A EAST-WEST TEAMS STAGE FINAL DRILLS SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30.

(JP) East and West college football stars line up for final heavy drills today, theJt last before the colorful Shrine charity game New Year's day. Tomorrow, coaches said, will be given over to customary poUshing- off sessions. Dick Crayne, Iowa backfield pow erhouse, booted the oval effectively in eastern practice at Berkeley yes terday. Some of his kicks traveled sixty and seventy yards, and Coaches Dick Hanley and Andy Kerr agreed "he'll come inVnighty handy" should the West forces shove their eastern rivals deep Into home territory. Both teams, apparently, are going to rely on Southerners for offensive leadership.

Riley "Alabama" Smith, 205 -pound quarterback from the University of Alabama, impressed eastern coaches sufficiently to be virtually certain' of receiving the starting nomination. So too, did Bill Walace, Rice Institute halfback. His all-around ability, plus a- generous portion of "football wisdom," makes him a certain starter, say observers of the western contingent In practice at Stanford. Walter Cruice, a Northwestern blocking halfback; has about fully recovered from a dislocated "knee and appears ready for action. The Easterners displayed some tricky formations in practice that promise a wide-open game.

Laterals and forwards were freely mixed In several combinations. Coaches Orin Hollingbery and Percy Locey of the West team worked Dick Sklar, University of Kansas guard, into the lineup. He said he, had fully recovered from a recent shoulder in jury. Netherland India's special tax to stop rubber exports has failed to do so. Industrialists of Colombia are wor ried oyer possibilities of higher taxes.

CHAMPION of on out got "I is is Is at OUT TO AVENGE LAST YEAR'S DEFEAT Fans who enjoy humorous basketball as displayed by experts are expected to pack the university gymnasium tonight to watch the antics of the barnstorming Broadway Clowns as they take the court against the University of Nevada quintet in the opening contest of the season. The opening whistle will blow at eight o'clock. Coach J. E. Martie received what was to him the best of Christmas presents with the notification that practically every member of the Nevada squad received passing grades, to insure their participation in one of the best Wolf schedules in several seasons.

Martie will use every member of his squad tonight against the clever colored players, and plenty of action is in store for spectators. Nevada scored a 24 to 15 victory over the Clowns last year, taking advantage of the visitors' foolishness by running up a sizeable lead and maintaining it to the final whistle The Clowns play an easy brand of ball, replete with comedy and still enough to defeat the best teams in the country. They seldom win a game by more than two points, and score only when it is necessary to maintain a slight lead. Managed by Al "Runt" Pullins, the colored quintet has new strength this year with the addition of "Koona" Brown, giant forward, and Babe Brooks, New York schoolboy sensation, both stars of the team that annexed the Central A. A.

TJ. championship last year. "Easy" Easter, "Father" Miles, Ted Carey and Pullins still carry the comedy roles of the team. This trio is known throughout the East as the greatest ball handling combination in the game. They invariably get laughs from spectators by their unorthodox but surprisingly accurate passes, and their apparently wild style of play.

As fans who saw last year's game remember, the versatile colored boys are equally adept at transforming the hoop contest into a baseball or football game. One of the tall negro lads can take a basketball in one hand, wind up, and throw it like a pitcher would a baseball. The snt is completed as a catcher, batter and umpire get in formation. Another play which never fails to draw laughs is when the ball is drop-kicked to the basket, some- es going through for two points, much to the amazement and chagrin of the players. Then again, two or three of the players might Indulge in a game of "shadow dice" in one corner of the court, leaving only two men to face the opposing team.

These two men, however, usually take care of things until the "dice game" is ended. Although this style of play Is amusing to the fans, it proves greatly disconcerting to the opposing players, who on many occasions, appear to be at loss as to just what is the best procedure to follow. There exists no doubt as to which Is the better of the two teams, but tonight's game is not one in which competition is the sole object. The game is more of a show, and if past performances are indications, it will be an enjoyable one. Coach Martie will use the following players: Whit De La Mare, Ole Glusovich, Malcolm Jones, Joe Kel-ley, Allen" Lansdon, Craig Moore, Clayton Phillips, Jack Roguin, Stanley Smith, Orv Tregellas, Vernon Tapogna, John Robb, Don Leighton and Elmer Bawden.

Tomorrow night the Clowns will engage the Reno Printing Company Bearcats in a game scheduled to commence at eight o'clock at the university gymnasium. RANGE BOWL TEAMS READY MIAMI, Dec. 30. (JPh-The South's representatives ir the New Year's Day fooliball battle with the North were to arrive here today for the Orange Bowl game. The University of Mississippi grid- ders, delaying their arrival to allow practice, set their entrance for this afternoon.

1 Already on the grounds, Catholic university's eleven worked hard to make up ior practice lost in snow- bound Washington. Coach Arthur J. "Dutch" Bergman of Catholic was pleased with the mental attitude of his charges as they reached Miami yesterday. "Thw tnnw they're here for foot- CITY TITLE IN A. P.

Market basketball players of Sparks won their fourth straight championship in city tournament play Saturday night, defeating a hard playing Sons of Italy quintet by a score of 24 to 16 before one of the largest crowds ever to witness a final game in the railroad city. The Marketmen had an excellent offense for the championship game, and their defensive work was highly superior. They rushed the Sons of Italy, giving them little time to get set for their shots, and Guffrey and Lockridge, the Market guards, got the ball from the backboard time after time. Tony Poloni and Nye Sbragia formed a good guarding combina- tion for the Sons of Italy, and their Trir vt th smrp ri frnrr, ing much larger than it was. They crowded Powers and Cullen, Market scoring aces, but Armstrong had to be watched too.

Thus Powers was finally able to slip away, and again rolled up high point honors with eight points. Guidi was high for the losers with six. Taking a five to two lead at the end of the first quarter, the Marketmen increased their advantage to eleven to five at half-time and had a 17 to 10 lead at the end of the third quarter. The Sparks championship team is sponsored by A. Pisani, proprietor of the A.

P. Market, and following the game the squad was entertained with a banquet at his home of Fifth street. Consolation honors in the tournament went to the Gamma Eta Kappa fraternity team, which defeated the Bar JK Ranchers by a score of 15 to 14. The game was wild and hectic all the way, and the score was in doubt up to the final minute of play. A field goal made by Jess Brooks, GEK forward, with only fifteen seconds to go, gave the fratenity team the victory.

The GEK five led 11 to 9 at half-time but the score was tied thlrteen-all at the end of the third quarter. A free throw put the Greeks, in the. lead temporarily, but the Ranchers rang up a field goal and as the game wore to its close they apparently had it won. Brooks, however, slipped past the defense to ring one from close under. Kemp Haight was high point man for the winners, scoring six, while Albert Oppio and Ernest Kleppe made four points each for the Ranch five UPRISINGS NOTED CONTESTS NEW YORK, Dec.

30. (1 The holiday spirit of peace and good will was conspicuous by its absence during Christmas week in the national hockey league. Two major uprisings against the referees in Montreal, a blast issuea oy jack Adams, Detroit manager, against most of the other clubs the circuit, and ordinary roughing bouts and fistic encounters enlivened the proceedings. The climax at Montreal came Sat urday night when the Boston Bruins walloped the Maroons, 6 to 3, for the first of their pair of weekend victories that put them close to the leaders in the tight American division race. On- Thursday the French sector of Montreal fandom heaved bottles, corns and paper on the ice in protest over decisions that helped Toronto whip the Canadiens 2-0.

The other customers became angry on Saturday when officials first overruled a goal judge to give Boston a tally, then called back a Maroon goal because of interference. They piled into a corridor outside the referees' room, battered an usher and finally calmed down after stocky Bill Stewart, one of the arbiters, had replied to shouts that the officials were afraid to appear by offering to take 'on. "any three of you at once." The Bruins won that game in the third period, then took up the Detroit complaint against defensive play by visiting teams by whipping the Red Wings 4 to 3 in overtime last night. Bill Cowley's goal decided the issue after the Wings had rallied thrice to tie the score. The only overt act here occurred when Herb Lewis and Teddy Graham made passes at each other and drew major penalties.

The results of these games and other week-end encounters left the standings all tied, up in both divisions. The New York Ranger6. deadlocked with Detroit for the lead, saw Chicago come up to make it a three-way tie last night when they absorbed a 3-1 setback from the Blackhawks. Despite a 9-3 defeat by Toronto Saturday, the Rangers put up a spectacular battle for two periods, only to go down in the third when Howie Morenz scored twice. The New York Americans moved up to tie the Maroons for second SPARKS DURING HOCKEY Nevada may be represented in the national collegiate ski jumping championships to be held in Red Wing, February 1 and 2.

Those in charge of arrangements have been highly encouraged by Lloyd Eilingsen, national amateur jumping champion in 1931 and a member of the Olympic team in 1932. Eilingsen saw Poulsen jump recently and said he could undoubtedly win the collegiate title if he could be sent back to the meet. Max Adelbert Baer will make another.

'Round trip airplane tickets for Maxie, Mrs. Baer and Ancil Hoffman were included. Reno fans are highly interested in the show and the advance sale of tickets at the arena indicates a' packed house. That's what Baer likes crowds, and local sports fans will not disappoint him. Members of the Fallon Blue Rock club are still receiving compliments for the efficient manner in which they conducted their trapshoot a week ago Sunday.

The Broadway Clowns are coming to town tonight to engage Doc Mar-tie's Wolf Pack in another interesting cage game, and the fans are expected to flock to the university gymnasium in large numbers to see the Clowns perform. With most of the students out of town there will be plenty of room in the gym for all comers. The clowns gave quite an exhibition last year, although the Nevada team rallied late in the game to pile up a lead which the sharp-shooting Negroes were unable to 121 GOLFERS OFF OF TOURNEY PASADENA, Dec. 30.

(D A field of 121 low score golfers were ready to start out today in the second round of the Pasadena $4,000 open tournament, weather per mitting. Heavy rains made the Brookside course unplayable yesterday and contestants, with Horton Smith act ing as spokesman for the professionals, agreed to postpone the round. The 36-hole finals are slated to be played tomorrow. Sixty low score survivors, regardless of their pro or amateur standing, will take the field for the cham pionship round. Leading the pack as the second round came up was "Light Horse" Harry Cooper, Chicago pro," who posted a dazzling sixty-six, five strokes better than par, in his initial tour.

The scored tied the Pasadena tournament record set by Craig Wood in 1931. Two back were Jimmy Hines, Garden City, L. I. pro, Al Kreuger, Beloit, golfer-pro baseball pitcher, and Wiffy Cox, Bethesda, Md. Eight visiting pros held 69s-.

Horton Smith, Chicago money-winner, Ray Mangrum, Pittsburgh, and two California players, Les Mad ison, Hollywood, and Henry Batista, Pasadena amateur, scored 70's. The par seventy-one group was crowded.

Qualifying scores had to be seventy-seven or better for professionals, and seventy-eight for amateurs. W.

(JPh-Bobby Grayson, who generates Stanford's amazing offensive power, put to rest today the fears that illness might prevent his playing against Southern Methodist in the New Year's day grid classic here. "It is only a slight sore throat," said the fullback who was ordered to bed by doctors yesterday.

"The doctors thought I should rest yesterday but I'm all right. "You bet IH play Wednesday. It would take more than a sore throat to keep me out of that game." And to prove his point he got ready for the afternoon practice session. Fear that Grayson would not be in top condition for the intersec-tlonal tussle with the ball-throwing Mustangs arose yesterday when Dr. Fritz Roth, team physician, ordered the 187-pound all-American to bed.

He said the Stanford star was suffering from a cold in his chest and a sore throat. As a result he was absent when the Indians were sent through an hour of drill yesterday morning in a driving rain that soaked them to the skin. Just to show how valuable Grayson is to the West's representatives, he picked. up more yards one hun dred sixty in the 1934 Rose Bowl game than did all of the opponent Columbia backs. The fates, how ever, ruled against his scoring as the Lions won a smartly timed, well exe cuted reverse, 7 to 0.

He was overshadowed by the great Dixie Howell of Alabama last year, but still managed to roll up sixty eight yards and score a touchdown as the Stanford eleven went down in defeat 29 to 13. As it now stands, his Rose Bowl records shows besides the impressive 228 -yard total, that he has carried the ball forty-five times for a 4.5 average. His offensive activities will not be confined to running the ball on New Year's day as was the case in the last two games. Grayson had a course of lessons in pass throwing in Honolulu last i summer and has shown steady im provement in the art this season. It is safe to expect that he will throw most of the short ones for Stanford on Wednesday.

That is, provided his, cold proves to be inconsequential. jfe North Carolina, Boasts of Ice Rinks This Year RALEIGH, N. Dec. 30. (JPh- Ice skating in the "Sunny South" was a novelty here.

The American Olympic committee, foreseeing success in its efforts to have the United States well represented at the 1936 games in Germany but only after arduous search for financial backing, is seeking unity within its ranks. At its first meeting since the stormy amateur athletic union convention, when an attempt to put that body on record as opposing the Olympics in Nazi Germany was almost successful, the A. O. C. yesterday accepted the resignations of several members of the opposing faction and moved to eliminate other "lukewarm" members.

The committeemen favored the proposal of President Avery Brun- dage of Chicago that those whose lack of activity indicated they were not wholly in accord with American participation be courteously asked to withdraw. They decided to send questionnaires to all members of the com mittee asking their positive stand. Despite the opposition that re mains, financial reports indicated the prospects for full American representation were good. Plans for the sailing of fifty-one members of the winter sports teams on Friday were approved with the indication that there would be no trouble taking care of their ex penses. The hockey team budget sitll was unbalanced, but it is be lieved exhibitions will settle that problem.

Large returns are expected from the boxing and basketball tryouts, but the cemmittee stressed that there still is a great need for contributions. Plans were laid for an intensive campaign. The action of the National Collegiate A. A. in voting to favor American participation and in urging members to contribute financially was applauded.

The final rowing tryouts were set for July 2, 3 and 4 on Carnegie Lake, Princeton, N. J. Washington, California, Navy, Princeton, Penn sylvania and Yale already have signified their intention of entering, and it is hoped Cornell, Columbia, Harvard and others will compete. Robert J. H.
