THE ITHACA JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1934 TEN Ithaca College Gridders Complete Successful Campaign Five of Year's Big Battles to Provide Lasky Draws WitliKingfish In Fast Bout SPORT SLANTS -a-fcfcs; cfest Fans' Thrills Today of Note Dame. Yale's triumph over Princeton last week has stirred up Chicago (JF) The time for counting Chicago's King Levinsky out of the heavyweight picture, has not yet arrived and Art Lasky apparently is still come distance away from a crack at Max Baer'a world heavyweight championship crown. The old Klngflsh, or rather a Kingfish with a lot of new stuff, fought the Minneapolis Hebrew through 10 bristling rounds to a draw in the Chicago Stadium night. The battle waas so even that the two judges and Referee Davey Miller came up with as much variety as possible In casting their ballots. Miller declared for Lasky by a margin of one point, one judge liked the King by the same margin, while the other Judge called it a standoff.

4Tft Ithaca College's 1934 football squad: First row, left row, Mosely, Habersaat, Grace, Caulfield, Elwell, Cana-to right, Veazie, Hillis, Avery, D'Orazio, Saake, Captain van, Mackowici, Nugent, O'Reilly, Livecchi; third row, Hatch, F. Clark, Muscalino, Goodfellow, Fuller; second Heim, Coach Freeman, Clark, Hax, Patrick, DuBois, Clifford, Manager Farrington. Interest in the Elis' struggle with Harvard to the point where about 60,000 are expected to see the game. Stanford, its record marred only by a tie, probably will have the largest crowd of the Pacific Coast season, 75,000, on hand when It faces the Golden Bears. A victory for the Indians may also decide the coast conference race, in which Stanford and Wash Ington State, now are tied.

The Cougars may find a handful of trouble in their clash with Wash ington's Huskies. Rice Risks Standing Rice, another of the few remaining unbeaten teams, risks its place in the Southwest Conference race and In the national spotlight against Texas Christian, but the championship struggle will drag on a week or so longer. For the fans who can't get around to seeing the five big con tests, today's short but interesting program offers such games as Princeton Dartmouth. Columbia-Syracuse, Temple-Vlllanova, Rut-gers-Colgate and Lafayette-Lehigh in the East. The Michigan-Northwestern, Chicago-Illinois and Ohio State-Iowa games wind up the Big Ten season, while Nebraska- Missouri, Kansas State-Iowa State, and Kansas-Michigan State top the big six.

Southern Conference In the Southern Conference ac tlon is delayed until Thursday ex cept for Maryland's encounter with an outsider, Georgetown while the southeastern group has only a secondary program with Tulane, co-leader, facing Sewanee, Auburn meeting Georgia, and Florida encountering Georgia Tech. North Dakota gave the weekend a good send-off last night by defeating George Washington 7 to 0 in a major upset. The Nodaks, playing a waiting game on a rainswept field, finally blocked one of TiifTv Leemans punts and re covered for a fourth-period touchdown. North Dakota State traveled almost as far to play a 20-20 tie with Texas Tech. The Texas Longhorns, led by the brilliant Bohn Hilliard, advanced a notch in the Southwest Conference rating by trimming Arkansas 19 to 12.

On the Alleys Forest City League College Squad Wins Five, Loses But One Diegel Beats Shute to Win In Australia the second team making the total Melbourne Ufi Leo Diegel Philadelphia pro, won the $5,000 professional golf championship to day at the expense of his fellow-countryman, Denny Shute, topping him 2 and 1 in the 36-hole final. County Fish, Game Club Told of Deer Feeding, See Films Seventy-five members of the Tompkins County Fish and Game Club had a venison dinner with all the trimmings at Knights of Pythias Hall last night In connec tion with the regular meeting of the snortsmen's organization. The committee in charge of the feed consisted of Harold Pratt. William Tutton and Frank Edminster. Before the dinner the sports men listened to Prof.

L. A. May-nard of the department of animal husbandry at Cornell University, who discussed the work of feeding wild deer in the Adirondack Mountains last winter. This talk was followed with a series of pic- ures taken by Frank C. Edminster, showing the results of this feeding.

1 Sold sr-r: awn By ASdAS J. GOULD Associated Preaa porta Editor Our reports form the All-Amer-lea football front indicate a considerable number of sophomores already performing brilliantly enough to attract the attention of seasoned observe. Several teams, such as Pennsylvania and Harvard, have turned over a majority of the first-string tssignments to year men. The process of getting right down to brass tacks with fresh material is conspicuous alse where among leading colleges an universities which have an ye to the eridiron future. It's rare, however, when a soph omore can show enough stuff in his first varsity season to gain All America rating.

Nowadays, with so much fine talent available, it has become virtually an established policy among the pickers to give the preference to a Junior or, particular, a senior, nroviding of course that there's llttl to- distin-e guish thm otherwise. There is also a. feelinsr that a sophomore may turn out to be a "morning glory; fear of which causes the all-star Dicker to play safe by reserving Judgment. i. It's only once in a decade, at least, that a Red Grange conies 7- galloping into the spotlight at the outset of a varsity career to claim All-America recognition.

Not a few critics believe that Grange was greater in his sophomore year than during the last two seasons he led the Illionls attack, although he was on the All-America for three successive seasons. The Gal- loping Ghost was the last to gain distinction, although Army's Red Cagle came close to duplicating it among subsequent stars. In the old days, when Walter Camp was the arbiter and the last word in all gridiron pronounce- ments, it was not unprecedented for a freshman to make the first All-America team and stay there. Albie Xever Got Oedit Albie Tale's little boy blue, was the greatest sophomore Sl hack I have seen in upwards of 15 years of scanning the gridiron premises in the East. In fact, Al- Die's best year was his first in var-J slty competition but he didn't "make" the All-America then or later, for several reasons, including injuries, bad luck and a belief among those who never saw him perform at his best that a little guy.

weighing less than 145, sim- ply couldn't be that a lot of these same fellows who are now going around agreeing with what a number of others felt was a fact five years ago: that Albert J. Booth for double his size and inches, was the greatest foot- ball player of the last 10 yars. Sophomore All-Americas But were talking about current sophomores. I don't know whther the human tank, Stanislaus Kostka, Is traveling In sophomore company in the class-rooms at Minnesota, but this is his first varsity year with the Gophers and he probably will crown it by being the majority choice for All-America fullback, which is pretty fair for a "beginner" but It happens that Stanislaus has had considerable experience elsewhere and unless somebody changes the Bi? Ten rules this will also be his last year for dear old Minnesota. Pop Warner has a sensation in Dave Smukler, sophomore full-back.

Fred Ware of the Omaha World-Herald and Dick Cullum of the Minneapolis Journal tell me that Nebraska's Lloyd Cardwell, big, fast and rugged, is going to be one or the greatest ball-carriers In the country. Ed Didseth, sopho more guard at Minnesota, is an- omer piayer being tabbed for fu ture greatness, and it's likely more win be heard from Ray Buivid inpie-inreai sopnomore back at Marquette. Stanford Loses Star For Bears Contest Berkeley, Calif. OR a touch of gloom clouded the Stanford Uni versity football camp today as the Indians faced the University of -n. vaniurma isears in the 40th re newal of one of the West's oldest grid rivalries.

Aitftough odds favored the un beaten Indians by as much as 4 to they may be without the services of Jim Moscrip, place KicKing end and keyman of the line: He is limping with a knee Injury, and Is a doubtful starter. Otherwise the two teams line up at full manpower. Princeton Favored To Beat Dartmouth Prinreton, X. J. (JP) Upset by Tale a week ago, Princeton's Tigers hoped to start a new football winning streak at the expense of Dartmouth in Palmer Stadium today.

It was the final game of the season for both teams. Princeton ruled a heavy favorite over the Indians who have been troubled all season by a succession of Injuries to first rtring players. A crowd of 40,000 was in prospect. STRAND Starts SUN. Don't Miss It! mm i ine and led Won Lost Pet.

Playing six games against formidable opponents, the Ithacans came through with five victories and one defeat, the setback being at the fiands of East Stroudsburg, 7-6. Under Coach James Freeman, the men worked hard and faithfully under many handicaps. The "Ithacans opened the campaign by out-playing Vermont, 7-0, in what was rated an upset. In their second game they smothered Hartwick College with Hill Harriers Dine at Varna, Pick Captains John Meaden of LaGrange, 111., and Edmund Mezitt of Weston, were elected co-captains of the 1935 Cornell University cross country team at a dinner of the latter held at Varna last night. The co-captains will be juniors next Washington Park's Team Seeks Revenge In Auburn Contest The Washington Parkers will face an all-star Auburn eleven on High School Field at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

The Auburnians knocked off WP in a battle on the Auburn grid last Sunday 32-0, and the locals are eager to make a change in the score. The faults ot last week's game have been patched up and the Tarkers will seek to keep the ball with straight football Instead of restoring to the air, which spelled their defeat last Sunday. Washington Park has the more powerful line, but Auburn's slippery backfield men make the game very interesting to witness. Capt. Petey Daghlta, announces the following lineup for the battle: Stanley Gegg and John Mike, ends; George Wiyiams and Harold Cook, tackles; Babe Reeves or Tommy Fredericks and Don Fredericks, guards; Pete Daghlta, center; Seymour Thompson, quarterback; Rudolf Saccucci or Philly Vlcedom-inl, left- halfback; John Nemes, right half, and Harry Ciaschi, full.

Relief men are Carter Price and "Speed" Henderson. New York UP) Football heads down the homestretch of the 1934 season today with five of the year's biggest battles on the program to decide national and sectional title claims or merely personal grudges. Only in the Big Ten and on the Pacific Coast are any titles likely to be decided before Thanksgiving Day, but such affairs as that are secondary when Army meets Notre Dame, Yale plays Harvard and Minnesota's mighty Gophers go out fo the last time against Wisconsin, In the matter of attendance two of the East's colorful spectacles that have no bearing upon the na tlonal championship and the Stan ford-California struggle on the West Coast, involving one major claimant of the cown, are expected to outdo Minnesota. 80,000 Spectators Expected Some 80,000 spectators are expected to jam their way into the Yankee Stadium to see Army, beaten only by Illinois, do battle with Elmer Layden's fighting Irish Loop Division Lead Is Taken By Schrafft's Schrafft's Candles led the second division and two teams were tied for first place In the third division of the City Bowling League after this week's matches completed last night on the YMCA alleys.

Coach Nicky Bawlf's charges wind up their season at Philadel phia Thanksgiving Day with Haver ford as the opposition. The Penn sylvania collegians show a record of one victory, a defeat and a tie Cornell has won four major con tests in league competition and gained a 1 to 1 tie with Dart mouth in an outside game. While Penn is tied with Cornell on the point basis two being given for each victory the Red and Blue has one defeat, that inflicted by the Ithacans early in the sea son. Coach Bawlf's performers are in good physical condition and expect to take the field Thursday at full strength. The Red and White booters have been taking things easy for the past week to lessen the chances of injury but the team has, nevertheless, perfected its combination and defensive play to such an extent that the squad is hishlv ronfi- dent of completing its season without a blemish.

For two seasons Cortland and Ithaca had played tie games, but the Ithacans came through, 7 to 0. Fourth Disappointing The fourth game was a dis appointment to followers of the team, as East Stroudsburg Teach er9 succeeded in giving the Itha cans their only set-back of the season and breaking their record of being undefeated, untied and unscored upon in their first games. The Blue and Gold came back the following week and beat favored Alfred University eleven, 12-6 This victory put the Itha cans In the winning again, and in their last game they had little trouble in downing the heavy Alleghany team 14 to 7. Ithaca College will lose six men through graduation: Patrick, O' Reilly, Caulfleld, Veazie, Livecchi, and Goodfellow. Patrick's serv ices will be missed most of all.

For the past four years he has been the mainstay at quarterback and is one of the best all-around athletes the college has ever had. Caulfield Versatile Caulfield, a transfer student, managed to fill in well and proved versatile on the field, lie was a fine blocker. Both O'Reilly and Veaarfe completed three years of varsity football. O'Reilly's run ning and blocking made him pre- domlnent through his three years. Veazie has played guard for three years and displayed aggressiveness throughout.

Livecchi, the lightest man on the squad, gave an ex cellent account of himself this year, possessing plenty of drive Goodfellow, playing his first year on the varsity, came along in fine shape as a dependable, Prospects lor next year are bright with many linemen return ing, among them Muscalino, Fuller, D'Orazio, Hillis, Heim, Averyi Nugent, Elwell, Habersatt, who are juniors, together with Saake, a sophomore, and Mosely and Mackowickl who are freshmen. In the backfield Clark, Hatch, and Grace will be the only veterans from the first team. Clark and Grace are only sophomores while Hatch, who captained the team, is a Junior.

While fewer American and British tourists visited Italy this year the difference was offset by the increased number from Germany and France.
