85 Some Bluffs Youths Good Title Bets District Mot Hopes Best in Light Classes Hopes of the two Council Bluffs high schools for qualifying wrestlers for next week's state tournament at Clarion lie chiefly in the lighter divisions. The two boys who advance to state competition in each of the 10 weight divisions will be determined Saturday, when squads representing Abraham Lincoln end Thomas Jefferson of this city, North and East of Des Moiues, compete in district eliminations on the Tee Jay mat. Fried Good Bet. Orville Fried, Tee Jay's pounder, looks like one of the brightest prospects for a berth at Clarion. Winning six of his seven matches this season by falls, he's teen obliged to wrestle only 12 minutes 13 seconds out of a possible 35 minutes.

Nyberg of Central, whom he declsioned has been the only grappler to go the distance with him. In his other bouts, Fried tossed Mascarello of South twice, in 49 seconds and 47 seconds, flopped Morton Olsen of Tech in 43 seconds, threw Joe Macchietto of Central in 1:40, and pinned John Jerkovich of Abe Lynx twice, in 1:33 and 3:10. Dick Hoist, Orr's 95 pounder, also has a fine chance to come through. His only loss in dual meet competition was suffered this week when he stepped out of his class to take on A. tough Bob Campbell at 105 pounds.

Don Williams, 118 pounder and Curtis Milliman, 135 pounder, are regarded as other Tee Jay mat- men having the best chances to come through, along with George Sturtz, inexperienced but fast-improving 145 pounder. Campbell Best. Abe Lynx' best bet appears to lie Bob Campbell, who went to the state meet two years ago as a sophomore, but was out of competition his junior year because of and did not return to the mat wars untii the middle of the present season. Carol Lee at 123 pounds and Chas. Jerkovich at 129 are considered the Hilltop school's best pres- pects, aside from Campbell.

Tee Jay's probable starters are Fried, 85; Hoist, 95; Bill Smith, 105; Don Williams, 118; Keith Meyer, 123; Jony Snyder, 129, Curt Milliman, 135, Geo. Sturtz, 145; Gordon Foutch, 155 and Tom Stelovich, heavyweight. Abe Lynx' likely competitors include Ralph Lee, 95; Campbell, 105- Cecil Emerlne, 112; Bob Harter, 118; Carol Lee, 123; Chas. Jcrkovich, 129; Bob Hansen, 135; Duame Jeffers, 145; Bill Faust or Don Howarth, 155 and Norman Jessen, heavyweight. System tsed.

Preliminaries will be at 10 a. finals at 2 p. m. Winner and runner-up in each weight division will be eligible for the state meet. Runners-up will be determined by the Bagnall-Willey system.

That means that the boys who wore defeated by the ultimate champion in each division will compete against each other for the right to advance. H. A. Johnson of Des MoineJ will officiate Saturday's tourney. Your Tin Cam-: Fullerton Wants More Statistics on Cage Players By Hugh Fullerton, Jr.

NEW YORK, The dictionary defines statistics as "classified facts, especially those facts which can be stated in figures." Veteran baseball men estimate that statistics account for some 30 per cent of the interest in the game But in many sports, stat'sUcal Information is strangely lacking Wouldn't you like to know, for instance, who is the leading scorer in college basketball this season, the steadiest foul- shooter? Or the boy who has the best scoring average for the number of shots he takes? And who has these records in prep circles? This corner would welcome any information. Bigger Figgers Speaking of statistics, President George E. Graf of the Louisville Bowling association compiled rec- ords of 3,654 Louisville bowlers and found that more than 70 per cent averaged In the 140-170 class with only one .200 average bowling in the lot Easiest baseball sta- tistlc to remember: the Albany, N. club's record in 1S88 same as the year, won 18, lost 88. Save Your Tin Cans-Iowa Has Shared Only Two Titles Special to The Nonpareil.

IOWA CITY This present Iowa basketball team, playing for wins in the last three Big Ten games and the resultant share of the title, has a chance to become only the third title-sharing Hawkeye outfit in history. In 1923, Iowa shared with Wisconsin at 11-1, and In 1926 a record of 8-4 brought a 4-way tie with Purdue, Indiana and Michigan. Next highest final ranking was a 3-way tie for second 1942 at 10-5. Tied In Score Race KANSAS CITY, Paine 1 Oklahoma guard, 'la tied with his teammate, Grover Ramsey, for first place in individual basketball scoring in the Big Six conference. Fame collected 11 points against Kansas to bring his total to 86, same as Ramsey's for eight games.

Their average per game, however, is surpassed by Price Brookfield, Iowa State pivot man, who with 79 points in seven games, has averaged 11.3. Advancing toward the top, Dan Pippin, Missouri's freshman is tied with Charles Cooley of Kansas State, another first year man, for fifth place on 66 points. Your Tin Cant-Harlan Tries for Loop Top at Sac City Cyclones Can Hove to Tie By Winning MIDWEST IOWA STANDINGS! L. Pet Sac City 7 1 .875 Harlan 6 2 .750 Cirroll 4 4 .500 Denison 3 5 .375 Ida Grove 3 5 .375 Jefferson 1 7 .125 Specia' to The Nonpareil. CARROLL--Harlan will play at Sac City Friday in the major Midwest Iowa conference battle.

A victory would move the Cyclones into a first place tie with the currently-pace setting Indians. Other games Friday will see Jefferson at Carroll and Denison at Ida Grove. Standings Unchanged. Results last Friday had no effect on league leadership. Ida Grove 1 avenged an earlier defeat by Carroll, trimming the Tigers 28-16 at Ida Grove.

The result dropped the Tigers to the .500 class and moved the winning club into a fifth-place tie with Denison. Sac City was pushed to take a 27-23 win over Denison, in a game played on the latter team's court. The Jefferson Ramblers held high-scoring Harlan down during the first period, but Harlan power commenced to show in the second quarter as the Shelby crew moved into a 21-14 halftime lead. The last half saw Harlan pull away steadily to take the game, played at Jefferson, 54-27. Your Tin Fish Rescue Is Resumed Along Iowa's Border DES MOINES, engineers have begun lowering the Mississippi rivur again iri order to meet navigation needs downstream, and fish rescue work has )een resumed along the Iowa border, the state conservation commission was informed Friday.

Supt. W. E. Albert, in charge of Mississippi river activities for the commission, told the commission nine backwater pools on the Iowa side of the river were being drawn upon for as much water as will be needed in connection with wartime activities downstream. At the time of tbe first lowering of the river several weeks ago, the fish loss was not very great because about half a million were rescued and the mild weather which followed brought rains to raise the water level.

Work Will Continue. Commission officials said the li rescue work would continue, but it was not possible to tell now what the result would be. They emphasized, however, that the en- ineers are co-operating wherever practical to prevent fish losses. Pools which are being drained now are numbers nine to 18 inclusive, with the exception of 15. The amount of water to be taken has not been determined.

--Save Your Tin Cam-Two Perfect Games Bowled by Harino MILWAUKEE, UP--Hank Marino, former world's match game bowling champion, achieved a double feature of a bowler's dream Thursday night, fitting two perfect games into a league series for an 832 total to top the nations current honor column. Marino opened his series with a 300 game, followed with a 232 count and came right back with another 300. Marino's blast was the high point of a night which also saw 65-year- old Richard Bachaus, whip out the first 300 of his career. Your Tin Cam-Chuck Klein Hopes for 1944 Comeback PHILADELPHIA, UF Coach Chuck Klein of the Phillies, once one of the national league's greatest sluggers, plans to make a hard comeback effort during 1944. The 38-year-old outfielder figures he can play in 75 or more games provided he can condition himself.

Last year he hoped to play quite a number of games, but Trainer "Doc" Bruce's commando tactics, he says, were too much for him. --Save Your Tin Cam-A new electroplating process for making tin cans is not only much faster but will save the industry an estimated 1,200,000 tons of tin a year. Saints Battje Bobcat Quint Friday Night Both Quints Are Set to Shoot Works Coach Emmet Mathiasen's St Francis Saints, and Mentor Nathan Lahn's Bobcats from Iowa School for the Deaf will square off on the St. Francis court Friday evening prepared to shoot the works. The Saints, who have won 10 of their last 12 games and boast a season's mark of 11 victories against five defeats, have no intention of seeing their streak Interrupted.

They want Friday night's game. After that, they want the Tee Jay and Omaha Sacred Heart battles. If they can grab those three games, they'll ride into the sectional tournament at Glenwood on the wings of a six-game winning steak. The Bobcats want Friday night's game just as badly as do their rivals. Their seasonal mark needs -bolstering.

had some tough breaks fince they opened their campaign with an impressive victory over tough Silver City. They've dropped some close ones. They've gone into a number of games crippled. In others, they've simply been off, and failed to play anywhere nearly the basketball of which, at their best, they're capable. It all adds up to a so-so record of eight victories and nine defeats.

The 'Cats, their coach and their fans believe the deaf boys are a better ball club than that mark indicates. The Saints have racked up 554 points in their 16 games, for an average of 34.6, and have permitted opponents 427, an average of 26.7. The S. D. offensive record is better than that of their city rival, but their defensive achievements suffer by comparison.

The Bobcats have tossed in 605 points in 17 games for an average of 35.6, and have allowed rival clubs 565, for a 33.2 average, The two leading scorers of the city will line up on opposing sides Friday. Little Francis Roarty of the Saints has shoveled in 89 field goals and added 33 free throws for a total of 211 points, to average, better than 12.4 per game. Equally diminutive Dennis Froehle of the Bobcats has caged 77 fielders and 28 gift shots for 182 points, a per game average of approximately 10.7. The Saints have depended on Roarty for their point getting to a slightly greater extent than have the' Bobcats on Froehle, a survey of the record discloses. Center Keith Murphy, barely over the six- pomts-per-game average for the season, and Guard Tom Novak, who has averaged barely under six, are closest to Roarty amonfe- Saint regulars.

The deaf club, on the other hand, has Lawrence Buchholz, who has averaged nearly 8.4 points, and Nick Routan, with a 7.6 per game average. Rou- tan, however, has missed his club's last two games because of absence from the city, and may not be at his.rsharpest against St. Francis, assuming he starts. Roarty has hit the 23-point mark four times during the season. Froehle, Buchholz and Routan all have flirted with the 20-point mark on several occasions.

Jim Gorman, Saints' guard, sprained an ankle Wednesday, but will start St. Francis defeated the Bobcats 30-24 in an early season game. A game between I. S. D.

IONPAREIL SPORTS BEAU JACK FLOORS BERBER In a savage seventh round attack, Beau Jack caught Maxie Berger ol Montreal with a hard right and knocked him down for a two-couni in their 10-round encounter in Cleveland. Jack, New York-recognized lightweight champion, won an easy decision. Hawkeyes Work on Defense to Check Purdue Harrison Also Applies Polish to Iowa Attack Special to The Nonpareil. IOWA CITY Purdue's scat, scramble, and shoot attack, complete with under-basket acrobatics and sleight-of-hand passing, will be countered by a calculated Uni versity of Iowa basketball defense if the lessons now being mastered are effective here Friday evening.

The Hawkeyes, needing a wiri over the league-leader to remain in the conference race, are being taught to use their height and mobility in tying up Purdue's three Hs, Paul Hoffman, Charles Haag, and Dennis Horn. Sets Terrific Pace. "Purdue sets a terrific pace and if they are hot in shooting they are hard to stop. For a team which averages only about six feet, they are good rebounders and they slash toward the basket, always trying for those quick flip-up short ones," Coach 'Tops" Harrison said. Harrison pointed out that Purdue has averaged 53.5 in winning: seven of eight conference games, as compared with Iowa's 52.4; and on defense the Boilermakers, who harry the opposing shooters without mercy regardless of fouls, have held opponents to 38.4 average.

Iowa's defense has allowed 43.3 points per game. "We will have an offense ready for Purdue's best defense. The boys have much more poise and accuracy on the familiar home court and they have not let the defeats by Ohio State shake their confidence in themselves," Coach Harrison asserted. Grafton Probably Lost. It's likely that Iowa will be without Jimmie Grafton, No.

1 reserve guard, for the Moline, 111., freshman must report for army air corps service this week-end. Even if he does return for the game, he will not have had drill against Purdue's style. Purdue, like Iowa, went unbeat en against four second division clubs. Boilermakers, however, de feated Ohio State at Columbus, 59-49, before losing their first conference game to the Buckeyes the following evening, 54-47. Iowa won seven straight then dropped both to Ohio State.

--Save Your Tin Cans-Skimmer" Miller Reminded of Age Special to The Nonpareil. IOWA CITY--Tommy Hughes Iowa forward, had a date with a blonde Indiana co-ed after one of the basketball games at Bloomington. Girl remarked that she had heard her mother say she once had a date with an Iowa basketball player, too, one named "Skimmer" Miller. That same "Skimmer" Miller, now associated with the ASTP physical program at Iowa, is scout for Coach "Pops" Harrison. He remembered his blonde Indiana date back in 1926, and so did Coach Harrison, teammate of Miller on that Iowa team of 18 years ago.

IOWA CITY Casualty lists now have carried the names of five former University, of Iowa- letter winning athletes, latest being Lt. Victor Vargon of the army air forces, captain of the 1942 Hawkeye swiming team. Vargon, from Kansas City, won the major letter as a fancy diver in 1940, 1941 and 1942.

He was killed in a plane crash within recent weeks soon after arriving in the middle east war theater. Of the five Hawkeyes lost, three were swimming team members. They included Lt. Ray Walters, navy aviator missing in the south Pacific April 13, 1942; and Robert Jones, who died in a crash of a navy training plane in Florida, Feb. 8, 1942.

All of the lowans were involved in plane crashes. Eri- sign Nile Kinnick, all-American football player, died at sea June 2, 1943 in his navy fighter plane; and Lt. Bush Lamb, army airman, was listed as missing in North Africa in November, 1942. Lamb, a football player and twice winner of the Big Ten javelin title, once was unofficially reported in a north African hospital, but no confirmation of this report has been received. --Save Your Tin Cans-Increase Legal Take of Beaver in Iowa DES MOINES, The state conservation commission said 318 beaver were trapped legally in the 1943-44 season, the first time this was permitted, and that taking more than twice that many would be authorized next season.

Less Than Half The take last season was less than half of the 882 which could have been trapped under special permits authorized by the 1943 legislature. The law allows the commission to authorize the trapping where the animals have done more than usual damage. Late this year, as was the case last year, special permits will be issued after investigation has shown the damage excessive. The permits set a limit on the number of animals which can be taken. Commission officials said permits would be issued next season for taking those beaver which trappers failed to get, under the permits, last season.

Also the increase in the number of beaver in the closed season probably will mean additional damage and an increase in the number of permits over last season. During last season almost 200 investigations were made that proved enough damage had occurred to warrant removal. Because of the inexperience of the trappers and the need for extra large traps, which were unavailable, only the 318 animals were laken. Most of the beaver were trapped 15 northwestern counties. --Save Your Tin Cans-Prep Games Friday Iowa Deaf at St.

Al Davis Will Seek to Shed His Nickname Montgomery Is Hot on Trail of Lost Title By Fritz Howell. NEW YORK, in--When Bob Montgomery and Al Davis step into Madison Squarfe Garden's ring Friday night for their 10-rounder, Bob will be trying to find something there, while Al will try to lose something: he acquired there. lost to Jack. Montgomery, former lightweight champ, lost his laurels to Beau Jack last November--the last time he was in the Garden. He gets another crack at "The Beau" in two weeks, but he must brush Davis aside if he expects to regain the title.

Davis, left-hooker from Brooklyn, in his last Garden appear ance, picked up nickname-- Bummy--which he has been trying to lose. He acquired the nickname and a life-time suspension late in 1940 when he fouled Fritzie Zivic repeatedly in a scrap stopped in the second round. Shortly after that, Davis enlisted in the army but was given a medical discharge. While in service his weight hopped up to 180 pounds, but he has shaved that to 144 for Friday's brawl. Montgomery will come in around 137.

19 Comeback Bouts. In his comeback campaign since the New York Boxing Commission allowed him to return from exile, Davis has had 19 fights. He lost four by decision, drew in two, and won 13 of which 11 were by knockouts. Davis hopes to prove to some 16,000 spectators Friday that he's a gentleman in the ring--and that his name Is Al, not "Bummy." --Have Your Tin Cam-Iowa State to Meet Sailors in Dual Swim Special to The Nonpareil. AMES--A team of 11 Iowa State college swimmers will com' pete at Great Lakes, 111., Saturday afternoon against probably the greatest group of performers that has ever been gathered together on one college squad--the Great Lakes Naval Training Station team.

Sammy Baugh Best Passer in Pro Loop Becomes Second Triple Winner League Crown By Charles Chamberlain. CHICAGO, UP)--Sammy Baugh, the Texas ranchman, Friday officially roped the 1943 passing championship of the national football league. Based on number and percentage of completions, this coveted honor went to the Washington Redskin star who owns a ranch at Rotan, wihle Sid Luckman, whose aerial artlsery brought him the league's most valuable player award, was given the runner-up certificate. Solid Accuracy. For pure accuracy, slinging Sam's achievements were more solid than the Chicago Bears' T- timer who retired from the gkme after leading the Bruins to the national title in December and entered the maritime service.

The former Texas Christian player completed .577 per cent of his tosses, a new league record for marksmanship, while Luckman found his target .45 per cent of tbe time. Luckman's air raids, however, proved more devastating. He gained 2,194 yards ad pitched 28 touchdowns. These marks now have been approved as all-time seasonal records and displaced those set in 1942 by Green Bay's Cecil Isbell. Included lit the figures is Luckman's fantastic twirling- day against New York when he connected on 21 of 32 passes for 433 yards and seven touchdowns.

Baugh's name was entered alongside that of Arnie Berber's, the former Green Bay pass-master, as the only player to win the league championship three times.
