34 Freshmen Report For Spring Football at Iowa; Davenport Boy on Squad IOWA CITY, la. (Special) --Spring football practice opened at the University of Iowa with 34 freshmen reporting to Coach Irl Tubbs for the initial workout of the 1938 season. Among those who turned out was Robert Beyer, 235-pound Davenport, giant, who has re-entered the univer BY JOHN FLEMING Sweat, perspiration or drippings from the human pores, whichever your parlor etiquette demands that you call it, fell by the gallons yesterday afternoon and evening In The Times auditorium when the Golden Gloves weighed in for the slugfests which begin at 7:30 tonight at Rock iMa.it; a new armory. The poundj that were left on the floor, if they were stacked up and moulded, would make a Man Mountain Dean, a Primo Carrera and a Goliath with enough left oyer to cut out a couple of tackles for Fordham's 1938 football team. In short a number of the boy had difficulty making the weight and the sidewalks were well on the way to being rolled up before the last man balanced the scale and the lant manager put up ihe "do not disturb" sign on his vocal chords.

No blows were struck, except those wafted to the smokey breete by oerw eight fighters, and while the afternoon and evening were not exactly In the nature of a love feast tranquility prevailed to the very end and the eve of the big battles went on the record as a bloodless weighing In. Cully Frey, the, latter partner in the firm of Dempsey-Frey took one William Shakespeare literally and injected a bit of the English drama into the proceedings." He played the Shylock role from the Merchant of Venice, without costume, better than Otis Skinner ever did it with all the trappings. He even went the Bard of Avon one better and demanded his half a pound of flesh. From mid-afternoon until the wee small hours of the morning he gazed placidly at the scales and slowly shook his head when the balance failed to flicker at the deadline figure. And the irony of it all came when his own man was still trying to shake adhesive poundage when all the other boxers were pounding their pillows.

Peanut Schieberl, coach of the Farmall boys and former professional slugger of no mean ability, was In evidence throughout the day and caused a goodly quantity of laughter when he, admitted that the picture of him, appearing In yes-terday's Daily Times, resembled the famous Charlie McCarthy. He produced several excellent portraits of himself to disprove an Idea that needed no disproving. He showed everybody he was no dummy with his work of the afternoon and evening. Rothchild Gooding, last year's 118 pound title holder, Is the "last man" referred to in an above paragraph. The clock was rolling toward midnight when he dropped the final half pound and made his weight.

Augie Sandoval took off seven and a half pounds from seven o'clock til eleven to qualify for the 135 pound division while Johnny Bond, porter at the Hotel Blackhawk, left the janitor exact- oteL Defensive Play Features Torrid Battle Checks Paul SCORE JT Wis 8 TO 5 Victory Enables Ambrose to Maintain Loop Lead With -Clearj Slate BY BARRETT M'DOXXELL The advertised titanic battle to determine respective championship claims of St. Ambrose and Columbia on the Iowa conference title almost flopped because of mutual ineffectiveness in the first half at the George Edward Marshall field house last night, but a nip and tuck second period and two overtimes set a large crowd wild before the Bees emerged with a 26 to 25 victory. the first half, which ended at to 5 in favor of St. Ambrose, qualified as a sure cure for insomnia, hut after the intermis sion things quickly worked up to what will prooaDiy ranic as ine most electric ten minutes in St. Ambrose court history.

By the victory, the Bees accomplished a double objective, keeping themselves on top of the loop heap with five victories and no defeats, and, secondly, putting hooka on the title claims of the pre-season favorite, age old rival of the local institution. Defensive Game Basketball fans, while decrying the lack of offensive polish couldn't but admire the defensive performance unrolled for their benefit. The Bees, notably Bud Koehnke, Davenport guard, took charge of Johnny Paul, Columbia's offering for the individual scoring championship, and the ace record- ed only seven points, one of his lowest totals of the year. On the defensive display of Columbia, the local clientele, no matter how partisan, dusted off a barrage of the best adjectives available. Breaking ip the Ambrose passing game and for nearly three quarters bottling up the Ambrose scorers, the Duhawks checked an offense which had averaged more than 45 points per conference game.

And, most notably, the visitors did it without attracting the whistles of the officials. Only three personal fouls were set down against Columbia, the first coming with five minutes remaining in the regular playing time. Tofanelll Leads Although his total was only six points, equalled by three of his mates, Francis "Princey" Tofa-nelli captured the spotlight by taking the pulpit for the revival at the start of the second half, when he spilled in three baskets in the first ten minutes. After that, the strain of three personal fouls cooled him off and sent him to the bench for a spell, but he was again on the floor for the kill. Bill Knockel, Columbia forward, managed to make the only offensive splurge of the evening, canning five baskets and three free throws for 13 points.

Larry Kruse, Columbia's best at guard, shared the defensive honors with the Bees' Koehnke, and handled an assignment which called for keeping an eye on the elusive and fast-pass- jacK tuns. Dull First Half The opening period's only claim to fame was its oddity. Jerry O'Donnell, Joe Gustitus and Bills took five minutes to build up a 6 to 0 lead and it was not until seven minutes were gone that Paul brought Columbia into the scoring columns with a free throw. Kruse and Knockel cut the margin down to 6 and 5, with six rnirrutes remaining, and a basket abstinence followed until just before the intermission when Gustitus hit from -underneath on a pass-In. The fans were awakened at the start of the second half when Paul pivoted in the second minute and Knockel went in from the side hortly after, to establish the Du-hawks In their first advantage, 9 to 8.

O'Donnell brought the lead hack with a shot from the circle, and then Tofanelll outscored Paul and Knockel. leaving the Bees ahead, 16 to 15, with ten minutes to go. Mike Link raised the ante for the Saints with a run-in, Kolfen- Times Photo Special 'Phone Installed For. Golden Gloves A special telephone has been installed in the box office at the Rock Island armory for the convenience of Golden Gloves fans. The number 'is Rock Island 315.

Orders for tickets for to? night's show will be taken on this telephone between 6:30 and 7:30 p. m. They win not be held later than 8 o'clock. No reservations may be made by telephone for tickets for tomorrow night's show. St.

Joseph Meets Community Five Of Sterling Tomorrow Community high of Sterling, considered one of the most; powerful Catholic prep quintets in downstate Illinois, is expected to win handily from St. Joseph's of Rock Island Friday at 8:15 p. m. at the. Rock Island Y.

M. C. A. floor. The Sterling dribblers drubbed Wrally Goranson's team earlier in the year, and should not experience any more difficulty on their annual invasion here this week-end.

St. Joe fans, quite elated at the four victories their favorites have registered in eight starts, believe that the- impossible might happen Friday. They point to the slim three point lead which Community held in the third quarter of the first tilt and are confident that Bill Leithner, Goranson's ace when it comes to sparking the team, will have a big night. for a three round bout every ten minutes. In case of a hasty knockout, and there should be many' of them in the opening round, two more boxers will be prepared to open hostilities as soon as the final count is sounded.

Hundreds of good tickets will go on sale at 7 p. m. at the armory box offices. Tickets for Friday night's show will remain at the agencies until 6 p. m.

tomorrow when they will be taken to the armory. The prices for all shows are 55 cents and $1.10, including federal tax. MILWAUKEE (AP) Frank B. Ohm of Milwaukee, the man who was credited by Bob Feller, young Cleveland hurler, with heal ing his sore arm last season, was convicted in district court late yesterday of practicing chiropractic without a license.

The reporters (never known to pass up a chance at something for nothing) gave Doc Sunderbruch a workout while he was waiting for the boxers. They posed as fighters (imagine that!) and had their hearts tested and blood pressures, recorded. One of the rugged members of the Fourth Estate paled visibly when he heard the Doc'a decision and was last heard from getting bids from the local undertakers. And what made the evening all the more screwy: Brown Is white, White Is black, Dodge Is one of the boxers, Berlin and Holland are both represented, Chic Sales Isn't any relation to the deceased specialist and Gabriel will be on' hand for the tournament without his horn.

(AP) Northwestern university's football prospects for 1939 to 1941 shot into the stratosphere today and a lot of coaches all over the country sighed. Bill De Correvont, the prep Bchool gridiron ace that every college coach caused it all by announcing he would enter Northwestern during the autumn.

With the 19-year-old halfback, the nation's most publicized high school athlete last fall, will be four teammates from Austin high school of Chicago where he rocketed to stardom by scoring at least one touchdown in every game he played and 35 in his last season nine coming in one game. Wanted To Be at Home De Correvont said he chose Northwestern because he wanted to go to a school near home, be cause "some of the boys on team planned to go there and because he "always wanted to play in the Big Ten." In addition to his football prowess, De Correvont is considered one of the best outfielders in high school baseball. The four teammates he disclosed would enter Northwestern with him were Alfred Bauman, all-Chicago tackle; Donald Johnson, all-Chicago center; Sanford Skor. all-Chicago quarterback, and Chuck Feingarten, star guard. Voted the most valuable player by his teammates at last night'a banquet, the modest De Correvont said: "I was forunate to play on a great high school team and have excellent blocking."
