Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 26. WV-Johnny Gilbert, a modest Syrian youth with an ambition to ride the winner of the Kentucky Derby, has visions of booting a son of the mighty Man O' War to victory in the $50,000 classic at Churchill Downs, May 6.

If he should be lucky enough to win the prized 3-year-old stake, the 18-year-old boy from the mining regions of Southeast Kansas would like to round out the year 1933 by again heading the jockey list. Last year he scored with 212 of his mounts. Johnny is not even sore that Samuel Riddle, who purchased his contract last fall, will give him a mount in the derby, but he's hoping. If not aboard one of Riddle's horses, Gilbert hopes to don another's silks. He's not going to leave any stone unturned in an effort to get a good horse.

The master of the Glen Riddle farms has two promising colts eligible for the mile and a quarter jaunt War Glory and War Stripes. Of the two offspring of the famous super-horse, War Glory is the more likely candidate. He qualified with an easy triumph in the Walden Handicap over one and one-sixteenth miles at Pimlico in November. "Let me have a horse with a chance," said young Gilbert, "and I'll be in the thick of the battle." Gilbert was christened Johnny Dyer and later adopted by Dr. R.

E. Gilbert, a Pittsburg (Kan.) veterinarian. He doesn't like to talk about himself and his remarks about the horses are generally in monosyllables. He doesn't like other sports, except for an occasional swim. He neither smokes nor drinks.

As for any heart interest, he's "too busy to thinb about girls." He is riding free lance at the Hialeah Park meeting, but early each morning he can be found at the track, working as hard as any exercise boy. He believes that's the best way to keep in condition. Johnny has more than a selfish reason for wanting to add to his laurels this year. He supports his widowed mother, two sisters and an invalid brother. Out of his earnings last year he bought them a farm near Pittsburg.

He has a brother riding at New Orleans under the name of Dyer. Another brother, Pete, was also a jockey and rode for W. T. Waggoner's Texas-owned Three D's stock farm. Pete was killed in an automobile accident in March, 1931, ERNY'S ELEVEN IS TUNING UP PinckcrCs Professionals Hit Their Stride Russ Saunders in Drill With Locals Added Stars Will All-Star Line Bolst er Clicking in great shape, although they have had only a couple of practice sessions.

Erny Pinckert's All-Stars went through a stiff work out yesterday for their intersec- tional game with the famous Green Bay Packers at Wrigley Field Sunday afternoon. Russell (Racehorse) Saunders, one of the greatest backfield stars to wear a Trojan uniform, joined the All-Stars at the Jefferson High School grounds, along with Ernie Smith, Ail-American Trojan tackle of the season just past Smith worked out in his favorite position, ngnt tackle, and appeared to be in great shape. With Erny Pinckert, Jim Mustek, Harry Edelson, Don Moses and Roy (Bullet) Baker ready to carry the ball and the All-Stars boasting of a strong forward wall, it is believed they will score a couple of times on the Green Bay squad. Pinckert has bolstered his Southern California line with some former western college stars who were stars in the pro during the past season. Harry Ebding, "Turk" Edwards.

Francis McNally, Christiansen, Creighton and Bunny Belden are some of the lads who will help battle the Packers. Pinckert is being assisted by Bullet Baker as co-captain. They will have twenty-three players instead of the customary twenty men that a pro team carries. They want to have enough men to battle the Packers on even terms. Coach Lambeau put his men through a practice session at the Loyola High School ground yesterday that caused the few spectators who were admitted to the field considerable astonishment.

The coach of the Green Bav Packers drilled his men hard to get his iorwara passing attack work- mg in good shape. He intends to use plenty of lateral and forward passes in the game against the All-Stars. DEL SMITH BEATEN IN PASADENA BOUT Del Smith, once regarded a great middleweight prospect, continued to slide down the fistic ratings last night when he lost a hard-fought six-round decision to Art Taylor in the main event at the Pasadena Arena. Huerta Evans whipped Young Clever Sencio in the other feature bout. Phil Rios decisioned Eddie Kaufman, Ray Kaiser stopped Terry Larabee in the first round, Joe Verra trimmed Manual Delgado and Simon Flores outpointed Eddie Dencio in the preliminaries.

SANTA MOXICA VICTOR The Santa Monica Y.M.C.A. cagers handed the San Pedro quintet a 48-37 defeat in a game played last night at the Santa Monica Municipal Auditorium. Olnhauser, San Pedro center, scored 15 points. Forney, Santa Monica forward, played only the last half, but tallied 13 points. TOURNEY DATE California Amateur Date to Be Set in Few Days BY T.

X. GREEN Dates for the California amateur golf championship at Del Monte will be named within a few days. This was revealed yesterday by E. R. Hurst, president of the Southern California Golf Association, who returned earlier in the week for the annual meeting of the State Association at Del Monte.

And in all likelihood the last week in August will be selected. This will permit California qualifiers for the national amateur championship, as well as those from the Northwest, to play at Pebble Beach and then continue on to Cincinnati for the national. Dates for the latter event are September 11-16. The decision on the State championship is up to President H. B.

(Larry) Mills of San Francisco. It was decided at the meeting of directors of the State association last week-end that no date for the California tourney would be selected until the time of the national had been named. A conflict in dates last year prevented Charley Seaver, Bud Eichel-berger and a number of northern and Northwest players who had qualified for the national from participating at Del Monte. It was agreed this year that the decision of the national committee would be awaited before anything was done about the State. This action came last Monday.

two days after the meeting of the State association directors, who left everything up to the new president. Indications point to August 28- September 4, the latter Labor Day, as the period for the State cham pionship. FOLLMER NEW PRO AT LOS SERRANOS Alex Follmer yesterday was named professional at the Los Ser- rancs Golf Club near Chino, be ginning February 1. He was formerly an assistant to Harry Pressler at the San Gabriel Country Club. Follmer, who is 26 years of age.

was identified with golf activities at San Gabriel for many years, coming tip iro mthe caddy ranks. He suc ceeds Jimmy Costello as the pro fessional at Los Serranos. ELKS PLAY FOR DOYLE TROPHY Competing far the John J. Doyle trophy. Elk golf teams will claih in postponed tourney at Baldwin Hills cn Sunday.

In addition there will be a medal play tourney for Elks from all over the Southland, GRANT ORTII IS NEW BROOKSIDE PREXY Jack Malley reports' that the Brookside Golf Club recently elected Grant Orth to the presidency of the organization. Orth has been connected with th'j Rose Bowl and Rose Tournament parade in an official capacity for man? years. HELLO FOLKS IN FIFTY-FOl'R TOURNEY Baldwin Hills will be the scene of a fifty-four-hole medal play golf tourney for Southern California Telephone Company employees on Sunday, it was announced yester day by G. A. Rasdall, president of the Tclco Golf Association.

The field will be divided into four flights, according to handicap. More than 125 took part in their last tourney, which was won by C. H. Ferris. ROADSTERS TO RACE CARDED AT BURBANK Automobile races are scheduled at the new Burbank Speedway, Jim Jeffries ranch, on Victory Boulevard, for this Sunday afternoon.

The qualifying trials, found by many sport enthusiasts to be fully as ex citing as the races themselves, will start at noon. The events of the day will be a three-lap cup dash, four five-lap races, and a thirty- five-lap main event, closing with a ten-lap consolation race.

Interest in the other five games Is also kept alive due to the fact they, are all of the traditional rivalry caliber. The Mechanics, having lost only to Fairfax, are riding high, wide and handsome in second place, witi four victories and only one reversal.

L. although far down the list, having won but two tilts while dropping three, can knock the Parrots off their perch by winning today's fracas. A victory for the Romans would automatically push Hollywood into a tie with Poly for second place, as the Redshirts walloped Manual Arts yesterday and now have a season's record of four triumphs against a pair of defeats. Three teams are tied in fourth place with three wins and two losses. Naturally, victory for any or all of the trio would also assure them of a tie for second.

This, assuming that L. A. knocks over Poly. If Poly wins, as experts seem to think it will, the mad scramble will be for third place. Fairfax, having cinched the pen nant, takes on the highly erratic Belmont quintet.

The HiUtoppers play has been both good and bad. la the first game of the season they upset Lw A. High, but since then they haven't been doing so well. Fairfax should win easily. How-j ever, the outcome will have no bear- ins on the title.

i From a competitive angle, the Fremont-Jefferson game will, in all probability, be the hardest fought affair of the day. Both teams have won three and lost two and appear to be evenly matched. Action takes place at Fremont. Other games on tap find Garfield at Roosevelt, and Lincoln at Franklin. Roosevelt and Lincoln should win easily, although the fact that both contests are the "big games" the year for the under dogs may inspire them to turn in an upset.

An interesting sidelight will be the battle for high point honors between Capt. Boccignone of Lincoln and Hood of Belmont. The Tiger leader has rung up 79 points this season as compared with 76 by his rival. Boccignone should forge farther ahead against Franklin, while Hood must penetrate the tough Fairfax defense.

BERNIUS TRIPLE VICTOR Guttero during his senior year at Lin coln High School and it was largely because of his sensational work that the team went through its City League schedule without a single defeat. Following graduation from Lincoln Lee attended Pasadena Junior College for a year, but played no basketball there. He was a member of the Hollywood Knights of Columbus team in 1931 and performed on the U.S.C.

Spartans (in-eligibles) last season. Guttero has considerable track ability in addition to his basketball prowess. He puts the shot around 44ft. and has high jumped 6ft. Like most outstanding athletes he has a yen for football and may turn out with Howard Jones's candidates next fail.

However, basketball is the sport he likes best. In his first Pacific Coast Conference game, against Stanford, Guttero was quite a disappointment. He had received wide publicity both here and in the north as a result of his sensational work during Troy's early seascn trip around the bay region. Perhaps he was overly nervous in bis conference debut. At any rate, he failed to measure op to expectations.

But against the Bruins a week ago he hit his true stride. It was his splendid floor work and agile jumping under the basket that made many of Troy's points possible. And he has been doing well ever since. Because of his long experience on the court, Guttero makes an ideal team-mate for Jerry Nemer, who is probably the most versatile, aggressive and all-around efficient basket-bailer on the Pacific Coast. The two work together as a deadly point-getting combination.

GOLFERS START TOURNEY ADDroximatelv 100 cnlfprs mpm. fbers of the Southern California Public Links' Association, will compete Sunday at Western avenue in the eighteen-hole invitational tournament of the organization. Barney Bernard announces that following the event, a banquet will be held in the clubhouse. Libro (Lee) BY BRA VEX DYER Libro Guttero, Lee to you, is a happy-go-lucky guy who never loses his temper except when the cards fall wrong. You've seen him on the basketball court at center for the Tro jans.

And if you go down to the Olympic tonight or tomorrow night you'll see him performing with his S.C. mates against California's Golden Bears, who happen to be tied for the lead with the Trojans in the surrent conference basketball race. However, this story is about Guttero, who fits in rather neatly for a sophomore in his first year on the varsity. But he's just as much at home around the bridge table and it is only when one of his double finesses fails to function that Lee, who was christened Libro, gets at all riled. On the basketball court he maintains his mental equilibrium at all times.

Which is probably a good thing because Lee weighs 190 pounds and were he too aggressive and belligerent the combination of poundage and pugnacity would undoubtedly result in a flock of personal fouls. As it is Lee usually has less fouls called against him than any player on the club. Guttero was born in Philadelphia nineteen years ago. His family moved to Los Angeles when he was still a kid and Lee began to play basketball on thl public playgrounds. He attended Gates Grammar School and then entered Lincoln High School.

It was Happy Van Pelt who discovered Guttero's marvelous jumping ability. Lee was playing guard on the frosh team when Van Pelt suddenly found out the boy could outjump anybody on the club. Lee is six feet one and one-half inches tall but can get the tip-off away from players who stand two or three inches higher than he does. His marvelous spring enables the Trojans to control the ball about 90 per of the time and this is an invaluable asset. Guttero was all-city renter CYCLE RIDERS AT JT AGAIN Eleven Teams Signed for Tomorroiv Night Eleven strong teams were signed by Promoter Tom Gallery and Jaclc Daro yesterday to compete in tha 100-kilometer team event that winds up the four-hour bicycle sprint race program scheduled for the Winter Garden Velodrome tomorrow nigh The ten-event program reveals three match races, the outstanding of these to bring together Henry "Cocky" O'Brien, the fastest and most daring young pedaler on the Coast, and "Rah- bit" Yates, another youngster who has ridden against the foremost international racers in the country and sent here from the East to test the sprinters in this section.

Three heats, of ten laps each, will decide the winner. One of the other match races will be between Ruggero (Red) Berti, member of the United tSates Olym- pic bike sprints team last year, and Russell Allen, a member of the road team. This will be Berti's first local appearance since winning the first 144-hour grind here with O'Brien. Pete Hagopian, the popular Fresno State College youngster, and Sebastian Schmidt, the wild-riding Hungarian, will face the starter in the other match race. A one-mile north vs.

south Australian pursuit race, with Irving Schuller, Ted Snaveley and Ray Borame riding against Alf Grenda, Phil Wright and Geary May; a five-mile open and a one-mile amateur race are included in the events.

CHESTER HORTON 'GOLF GREATEST TIACHE" The initial step forward toward th ball throuch the hips in launch ing the down swing is the only means vou hava of letting the arms Ftart downward. The step forward of the hips involves no continuous hip motion here for the reason that this initial exertion gets your body out of the way, so to speak, for the down action, exactly as the witn drawal of the right hip removes it in the back swing. An opening thus is made for the forward swinging arms. Now it should carefully be noted that at no time in the forward swing does the left hip project itself to the left side of the position it occunles in the address.

Note this on the diagram in the sketch The hlns thus hold to the position they assuma because of the step forwaid. which ttarta the down swing, until the clubhead and the arms have descended, with left arm close to the body, until you attain approximately the position shown in the sketched golfer. As the clubhead now proceed? into tin ball area the left hip withdraws, di rectlv back. Hence, as the clubhead goes through the hips are turned slightly diagonally across the flight line. Your body, in other words, is wholly out of your way.

'i, uuihwii viiu. mj LrA. in i 8 mg ftnoon, and on Sunday there will be mixed foursomes at BY ALAN GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 26. (JP) Cornell University's athletics, despite the publicly proclaimed policy of retrenchment In everything except football and basketball for 1933, have been put upon a "cash-and-carry" basis calculated to give the undergraduates as much or more competition than usual, plus a bigger part in the selection of their own opponents.

The rapidity and enthusiasm with which the students themselves have reacted to the economy program have assured the continuation of the Ithacans in i For "en the eight-inch receptacles as opposed to gleens UI be stalled on all the putting Unfortunately Sararen, who gave birth to the eight-inch Idea while convalescing from a combined attack of flu and tonsil separation, will not be present to oversee the festivities, or what have you. The Inventor, who is bound to go down in history as the Grand Old Man of the Cups, left the Santa Monica Hospital on Wednesday night and boarded a rattler for dear old Miami, Fla. Unless he finds himself terribly weakened from the flu bugs and the removal of said tonsils, the Grand Old Man of the Cups told those who saw him off that he expects to compete in all the tourneys remaining on the Florida schedule. Of course, It is not to be inferred from this appellation of Grand Old Man of the Cups that our British and American champion spends his time In the cups, literally speaking. On the contrary, he told your correspondent during the L.

A. open that he had eliminated all physical contact with cups except those of the golf variety. "It doesn't get you anything," he said, referring, of course, to the mixtures which cause one to reach that stage known as "In the cups." So, when your correspondent mentions Mr. Sararen as the Grand Old Man of the Cups he means that the title Is conferred lightly. Mr.

Sarazen was made the Grand Old Man, or maybe it should be baby Grand Old Man (he is in his early 30's.) because he had nothing else to do but talk to pretty nurses in the hospital. Being a double champion he had to maintain interest in the Sarazen name while flat on his back and unable to swing a niblick. And it is not going beyond the facts to say that Sarazen did quite well, thank you. He had the boys in far off Great Britain as well as Frexy Gates of the National Professional Golfers' Association and others calling him "silly, stupid, a publicity hound" and whatnot. As a Grand Old Man Sarazen enters a league made famous by Francis Ouimet.

When the latter won the national amateur championship In 1931 the newspaper correspondents made him a Grand Old Man because hia feet hurt. That is to say, the feet of the correspondents hurt as they followed him around, so they naturally assumed hit feet hurt. In the case of Sarazen, however, he became a Grand Old Man because he lo.vt his tonsils and had an idea. eastern intercollegiate competition, including track and field, baseball and rowing, at least to the extent of a regatta with Syracuse. Meanwhile the Cornell University Athletic Association, with $35,000 in the bank, occupies a position of solvency somewhat unique these days and proposes to keep out of the red.

This reserve Is enough to finance the program through the end of the academic year, closing June 30. By cleaning the slate and making commitments on the "cash-and-carry" basis, it will not be necessary to borrow from the banks in anticipation of football revenues next fall. The Cornell athletic plant now Is valued at $500,000. on which there is an outstanding mortgage for only $105,000, with all Interest paid up to date. From the competitive angle, here's the way the new economy system is working out to the advantage of the athletes: The Cornell-Syracuse freshman basketball game, scheduled in Syracuse, was canceled along with other intercollegiate competition for the yearlinRS.

On short notice. Graduate Manager "Cy" Thurston of Syracuse called Graduate Manager "Rjm" of Cornell, offering to pay the expenses of the froh team it it would make the trip. The players agreed, made the trip to Syracuse in autos, were fed by their hosts, won the game and turned in an expense account of $12. Two years ago, when college athletics still were enjoying relative prosperity, it cost $98 to send the frosh quintet to Syracuse to take a beating.

Jan.

26. (VP) Baseball, ayc Joe Carr, newly appointed promotional director for the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, needs the college athletes. "Get the btars and the crowds will follow," says the man who is trying to find a tonic for the national game. The prime need jut now, he explained, is to stop curtailment of baseball In lilgb si hools and colleges. This, more than anything else, 1 Jeopardising the game, he said.

"Far too many athletes are being graduated from collrges and entering the coaching game who know nothing at all about baseball," fair kaid, "I know that Revrral high schools have abandoned the sport be-rau newly appointed roahes acre former football, track or basketball tar and knew nothing and cared less about basebalL This alone Hill put off the day when baseball will make a scholastic romrback."
