0. Track Coach's Idea Might Help the Gate By JERRY NASON Consider the well-chosen words cf John Ryder, my fine feathered frans of the promotional departments of the Knights of Columbus and what's left of the Boston Athletic Assassination. There's money in 'em. One does well to heed the words of anybody when maybe it means some extra cash at the gate. Mr Ryder, the Boston College track coach, suggests a feature 5u-yara dash this Winter, closed to football heroes.

The idea is his, and he even elaborates on its possibilities, both financial and competitive, but the Prout and B. A. A. can have it without even the cost of a postage stamp. Mr Ryder Plotting? There might be a wee selfish motive behind Mr Ryder's suggestion.

It so happens, you see. that has several of Gilmour Dobie's football fellows out for track this Winter. A couple of them, like Fella Gintoff, have possibilities as speed merchants, but they're hardly ready to enter competition. Naturally Mr Ryder would like to encourage their further interest in track, which is the greatest sport of them all, says me and Mr Ryder. And I see where that boy Bill Osmanski of Holy Cross has just reported to Bart Sullivan! For lack of room on the program the Prouts or B.

A. could do a lot worse than stage a match sprint between Osmanski and Gintoff. They were scheduled to run a couple of heats against each other out at Fenway Park last November, the day it snowed, but the former was unable to take part. Bill Lost Last Time Oik The last time they raced was on the football field at the Heights in 1935. They were a couple of freshmen.

Osmanski didn't catch Gintoff that day, which was the reason the score was 6 to 6. There might be a little catch to promoting such a match race. A cow in the ointment, as it were. Osmanski, so we hear, failed to report as a dash man. He is out for the weights.

This is a terrible crime and I trust Bart will correct it. Nobody who can run as fast as Willie Osmanski should ever be fooling around with shots and hammers and other heavy hardware. Leave that junk to the guys with flat feet, Willie! There is a lot of future in such a football sprint as Mr Ryder suggests, however, and it could be easily arranged.

U. and George Lowman of Harvard, New 'England's leading collegiate scorers, to a virtual standstill, while his team was dropping decisions to the Terriers and the Crimson. VTEW YORK, Jan 13The Boxing Commissioners of the -state of Pennsylvania are in a sort of repealing mood. They have just repealed the decision in the recent fight between Al Ettore and John Henry Lewis, and they are prepared to repeal anything else you can name, from child labor to daylight saving time, at the drop of a hat. The Ettore decision was what is known in fight circles as a local-boy decision.

It startled everybody, including the winner, Mr Ettore, who blushed prettily and gazed at the ceiling while Mr Lewis led the choir through a program of old-fashioned cuss words, with special effects. The commissioners lost little time repealing that decision. Their quick, smooth work made the repeal of prohibition look slow and silly, and it seems merely a question of time before the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission will replace Congress altogether, just as the safety match has replaced the horse. This, after all, is the age of streamlining. Commission's Docket Jammed nHEY tell me the commission's docket Is Jammed with decisions which fairly cry out for repeal, and the commissioners do not know which way to turn first, being anxious to oblige everyone.

Among the cases calling for prompt action are: 1. Roosevelt vs Landon. For a long time now, since November, in fact, the Republicans have regarded this as a clear-cut case of favoritism on the part of the Electoral College a home-town decision. They feel that it cannot be reversed too soon and, as proof of the fact that there must have been dirty work somewhere around the crossroads, they offer the complete surprise of Mr John Hamilton when he heard the result. "This is very strange," Mr Hamilton is said to have said.

"It will bear looking into." 2. Louis vs Schmeling. The sooner the commissioners can repeal the decision in this one the better. It will relieve a great many feelings and save a lot of embarrassment all around. Mr Louis will appreciate a reversal, and so will Mr James J.

Braddock and his manager, and most of the fight promoters. Besides, there seems to be grave doubt as to whether Louis was knocked "out" or merely knocked "cold." It Will Bear Looking Into 3. Pittsburg vs Washington. In this case Pittsburg's victory in the Rose Bowl is being submitted for repeal by your correspondent himself, who feels that his reputation as a football expert is more or less at stake. The whole thing must have been a typographical error.

Didn't your correspondent say, before the game, "Pittsburg has no business in that there bowl?" Obviously something is wrong. And while the commissioners are at it, they might Just repeal the Sugar Bowl game, too. Mr Terry Has a Case 4. Yankees vs Giants. Mr William H.

Terry is bringing this important case to the attention of the commission. There appears to have been a grave miscarriage of justice here, and all Mr Terry asks is the repeal of Joe Di Maggio and Tony Lazzeri and a couple of decisions on the bases. "The' World Series of 1936 was a noble experiment," concedes Mr Terry, "but it failed to work out and' had better be written off the records without delay." He has a point there. 5. United States vs Australia, Davis Cup.

I understand that the U. S. L. T. A.

will be very grateful to the commissioners for a repeal of America's defeat. The jury, it seems, was stuffed with Australians on top of that, somebody's watch was five minutes fast. Can it be that we were all the victims of a hoax? The U. S. L.

T. A. thinks so. 6. Braddock vs Baer.

This case has been rankling in Mr Baer's mind for some time, and he would appreciate a thorough investigation of the circumstances under which he is alleged to have lost his title. He says he has six witnesses who will swear that he was fishing for mackerel off "Cape Hatteras at the time of the crime. There may be something in what he says. 7. Discovery vs Granville.

In his petition to the commissioners, the horse known as Discovery describes himself as a very wronged horse. Admitting that his race with Granville was a race which plaintiff does not admit, contending that he thought it was a morning workout there are still many suspicious circumstances to be investigated, including the fact that Granville won. Plaintiff submits that this is most unlikely on the face of it, or anywhere else, for that matter. The whole thing may have been a case of mistaken identity. It will bear looking into.

And after the Pennsylvania boxing commission has finished reversing all these decisions, the chances are that Mr Al Ettore, who started the trouble, will come around to ask to have his fight with Lewis repealed all over again. I trust the commissioners will deal firmly with Mr Ettore and stow him away somewhere in the attic. Copyright, 1937, N. A. N.

A. Inc. DAILY KNOCK To the unusual good behavior of practically everybody, which makes life just that much harder to the perpetrators of "Daily Knocks." BILL TILDEN SAYS: Vines Is World's Greatest Tennis Player Nusslein Second Among Pros Ranks Self Third, Cochet Burns-McCIuskey in Prout Games The entries of Lou Burns of Manhattan and Joe McCluskey of the New York A. C. today were added to the growing list of Prout competitors for the annual indoor meet.

Jan 30. Burns, a full-fledged star since he last raced on Boston boards, is the first accepted entry for the Bishop Cheverus 1000, sparkling feature event. As a sophomore at Manhattan last year the black-haired Burns put across several thumping races, winning, among other things, the indoor I. C. 4-A 1500 and the outdoor 800.

In the former event Burns was a "sleeper," his teammate, Bill Ray. being heavily favored. Burns uncorked a late sprint to win easily. Outdoors he was switched to the 800 and led a Manhattan sweep of the first three places in the intercolle-giates. McCluskey is a veteran campaigner and a great and popular favorite in Boston.

He is entered in the Larivee two-mile run. after having attempted to crack into the mile ranks unsuccessfully at this meet a year ago. The former Fordham intercolle giate champion retired the original Larivee trophy by winning in 1932. 1933 and 1935. In 1934 he was edged at the tape by Johnny Fellows in a wonderful finish.

you see, was an interscholastic indoor champ at Maiden High. B. U. would come right back with Ado Committo, a halfback who preceded Jivvy as state indoor dash monarch among the schoolboys. He's from Everett.

Dartmouth undoubtedly would barge in at this point. They've got Warren King, the "Cut-Back Kid" of gridiron fame. King twinkles down the field about as fast, if not faster, than any named above. He is also a varsity track man. Also, there were a lot of people who were total failures attempting to catch Bob Stuart of Harvard last Fall.

Always bearing the best interests of the board track in mind, the author suggests the elimination of tackles. Tackles, more often than not, run more to space than speed. The wear and tear on' the track would be almost too much. It is a very good idea of John Ryder's, don't you think? I've often wondered how fast those backs could run without a football under the elbow. Last Night's Fights By the Associated Press Seattle Al Hostak, 1553i.

C. wins its sixth triumph in20 games! Varsity Body Checks What consolation the Terriers got last night came from their Puppy sextet, coached by Sid Borofsky, last year's goalie on the varsity.

The young Terriers won, 6 to 1, so Harry Downes' debut as a hockey coach was not very successful. Henry McMullen was the star for the Terrier freshmen, with three goals and an assist, while Ed Swen-son provided most of the opposition put up by the Eaglets. Swenson looms as future Eagle hero, for he played guard on the first-year football team, holds down a defense post on the 1940 sextet, and is working out as a shotputter under Jack Ryder. He only holds the national prep school championship with the 12-pound ball, so his chances of being a three-sport numeral man aren Dad. One does not envy the Eagle varsity in its assignment of going against Dartmouth at Hanover tonight after 80 minutes of play last night.

It will be a pretty tired sextet and one lucky to avoid a slaughter and scalping by the Indian. Did you notice George Ford's night's work at Providence as Harvard knocked Brown out of the undefeated ranks. The Belmont boy only figured in six of the Crimson's seven goals that brought Harvard's winning streak to 14 consecutive games. The record reads two goals and four assists, which boosts him into a first place tie in scoring with Dartmouth's Mather and Foster, which they'll probably break tonight. Harding had three goals and an assist and Johnny Mechem 2-and- 1 as further contributions.

Commercial Loop Closes First Half "Saturday night the Commercial Hockey League will close its first half with the best four-game card this season. The opening game, scheduled to get under way at 7 o'clock, will be a newspaper contest between the Globe and Herald-Traveler.

Each has defeated the Post, which means the winner will be proclaimed the city's press champion. The second game is the big contest of the night, with the Eastern Division leaders, Shawmut Indians, meeting their Milk-st rival, Boston Maroons. In the third game the Employers' Owls will cross sticks with the strong Jackson-Curtis, while the final tilt will be between the Spaul-ding-Moss "tornado" and the Post Globe Every Sunday Between Office Dinner By WILLIAM TILDEN 2d (Copyright, Ledger Syndicate. World rights reserved. Reproduction in whole or in part prohibited without permission.) Recently I left myself open to the disapproval and disagreement of the followers of amateur tennis by offering a world amateur ranking.

I will now complete the wreck by incurring the wrath of the followers of professional tennis by giving a world's professional ranking for the year 1936. In offering a professional ranking one has much less data on which to base an opinion than one working with an amateur list. However, we have sufficient basis on past results to offer what is, at least, a reasonably accurate placement. Here is my opinion: 1. Ellsworth Vines Jr, United States.

2. Hans Nusslein, Germany. 3. William T. Tilden 2d, United States.

4. Henri Cochet, France. Bracketing 5, 6 and 7: Lester Stoefen, United States; Robert Ramillon, France; Martin Plaa, France. 8. Bruce Barnes, United States.

9. Albert Burke, Ireland. 10. H. Vissault, France.

On the "Insufficient Data" list one must place: Karel Kozeluh, Czechoslovakia; the Facendi brothers, Chile; George M. Lott Jr, Berkeley Bell, Francis T. Hunter and Vincent Richards, United States. I do not believe any one will seriously question the placement of Ellsworth Vines Jr at the top of the list. It is the general consensus of opinion of tennis critics all over the world that Vines was the world's premier professional player of 1936.

I am placing: Hans Nusslein at No. 2, above myself, by virtue of Nusslein's victory in the English professional championship at Southport, where he won the tournament, defeating Cochet in the final round in straight sets, allowing the French star only seven games. I have placed myself at third above Cochet on the following grounds: We divided our own two meetings last year. Cochet beat me in the tournament at La Baule, following which I defeated him In the Bonnardel Cup final round, and followed this by winning the final tournament of the year at Le Touquet, in which Cochet played but was defeated before reaching me. There would be little to choose between us, since Cochet won the French professional championship, beating both Plaa and Ramillon, but I was not included in the entry list.

Naturally Cochet follows at No. 4. In the positions of 5, 6 and 7 I am forced to bracket Stoefen, Ramillon and Plaa, due to a very strange series of results. Stoefen twice defeated Cochet and scored two victories over Plaa, but was in turn defeated twice by Ramillon. Ramillon lost twice to Cochet, once to Plaa and once to Vissault yet scored two victories over Stoefen and NED BRANT The JXSLZ OlO YOU CAVE OAKE I EA.CK AIS MONEY 115 bUD 1 Red Grange Connie Mack SPORTS Robertson Earl Sande Fourth carried me to five sets in the finals at Le Touquet.

Plaa defeated Ramillon and myself in five sets each in the English championship, but was beaten twice by me and twice by Stoefen. So in reviewing the performance of these three men I can see little to choose between them and feel that the only just placement is to bracket all three. I am placing aruce names at Jo. 8, due to his many meetings with these men in past years rather than to any def inite results this season. The position of Albert Burke at No.

9 is based on his carrying Plaa to a bitter five-set match in the French championship and two good performances in the Irish-American-Bonnardel Cup match against Stoefen and myself, rather than on any outstanding victories. The 10th nosi tion I give to young Vissault on the one remarkable performance at La Baule, where he defeated Ramillon in five sets after Ramillon led two sets to none and five to three in the third set. He also carried me to four close sets the following dav. Undoubtedly Karel Kozeluh would be well up the list if he had played in any competition this year, but he restricted his efforts entirely to coacning and cannot be included in the ranking list of playing professionals. The Facondi brothers, of Chile, are new names in professional tennis.

They scored victories over Nusslein and Kozeluh during the South American tour of the latter pair. The remaining names on the "Insufficient Data" list are placed there due to the fact that none-of these men competed in any tournaments, nor against a sufficient number of the ranking professionals to warrant adequate placement. Richard Jordan, Collins on the Mat Richard Jordan, the sturdy Briton, will tangle with "Wild William" Collins in the main bout of Charley Gordon's wrestling program at the Arena tonight. Part of the spotlight will be diverted from this feature by the interesting problem which will be worked out in the semifinals when Gordon's Chinese importation will try out his jiu jitsu tactics on Ted Germaine, another burly character from South Boston. The preliminary card includes the following douis: 15 MINUTE BOUTS Roland Giethier vs Walter Liphon: Buck Jones vs Pat Schaffer; "Cannonball" Grange vs Car-mon Carone: Rocky Stone vs Tony Celli: Tony Papalino vs Pat O'Doyle; Ace Brown vs John Lopez.

FOWLE Ding! Dong! Slam! Bang! Once more that characterized the ice meeting of the Terrier and the Eagle. There was no surprise at the kind of a game the clash in the Arena proved last night, but the prcgnosticators, including yours truly, are a little apologetic today for their unamity in failing to be able to see a Maroon and Gold victory. The Eagles deserve a world of praise for the game they played in battling through to a notable 6-to-5 victory after two overtime periods. More than that, they held the upper hand throughout almost the entire contest, trailing the Terriers but two minutes and 34 seconds out of some 80 minutes of play. All the players headlined as likely to star before the game, fellows like Desr osiers, Lynch, Hoar, Colburn, Burgess, Walsh, Roscio and Murphy, came through as expected, but it was an unheralded junior who turned out to be the real hero for the Eagles.

His name is Joe Hartigan and before last nights contest his role in the Eagle setup since joining the varsity was limited to occasional short-term appearances on the ice with the Maroon and Gold third line. With all due credit to Peter Murphy for breaking the deadlock in the 72d minute of play, Joe Hartigan deserves the toasts of the Eagles everywhere today. Coach "Snooks' Kelly made a 10-strike when he put the Brookline boy at center on the first line this past week, and Joe repaid his mentor by making good to the extent of three goals and the all-important assist which paved the way for Murphy's game-winning tally. What a contest it was fast, hectic, action and good, hard hockey as the teams battled along through the first period for 14 scoreless minutes with goalies blocking the opportunities of both teams then a break Bill Prior, up from the Eagle JVs, takes the. faceofl from McDermott, splits the defense, and is in for a score.

The Eagles lead, and the Terriers are pressing Success! Capt Russ Lynch ties up the contest with Joe O'Sulli- van assisting Now Gerry Desrosiers is off on one of his sparkling rushes and 17 seconds later the Terriers to 1. Going into his second period, it is the Univenty Heights boys that are pressing now there Hartigan beginning his hero's role as Joe Walsh and Peter Murphy aid him in tying the score more furious hockey the Eagles lead, 32, as Tom Sharkey finds the strings with Capt Jack Burgess drawing the assist. But wait, Desrosiers is off again he's the score is tied but not for long, as Joe Hartigan goes to workl again in combination with Burgess and Murphy they're keeping that fellow on the score board busy changing number cards and here's another newcomer to the scoring ranks as Fred Kelleher assists Harry Cleverly again to tie the score. They're on the ice for the third period Neviackas is out for the night with that ankle injury, and that will hurt the Terrier defense Still as the period wears along. Chandler seems to be doing right well What! Hartigan again in combination with Sharkey this time!
