"They made their mistake in predicting he'd win 25 games last summer," he said.

"The boy needed expe rience and wasn't to be rated off the few games he pitched in 1936. With his present experience he may be rated a 25-game winner. "He reminds me of 'Smoky' Joe Wood when Wood first broke into the majors, a tafi, gangling young- ster with a good curve ball and plenty of speed. And Wood won 34 games in 1912."

One more week and Alabama and California will have written the 23d annual chapter into the records of the tour nament of roses football classic.

"Weeks of hectic campaigning are behind the colorful Crimson Tide from Dixie and the Golden Bears1 frorn Berkeleyi each the out New York. WV-Presenting the cast of the "little show" of sports, the heroes and heroines of events usually buried under the lieavy type devoted to stars of baseball, football, golf and other headline ports who aren't nearly as good in their fields as these: Do the major league batting stars think they are good waiters? Asa Long of Toledo, world checker champ, could show them omething. Asa ruled the checker fang again. Willie Ryan of New York tried to outlast Asa but was forced to withdraw after playing eight tie games with the master. Iron Men Not many sports fans ever heard David Milford, yet he's to racquets what War Admiral is to the horses.

The mild mannered English school master won handily the world title in a tough spot, turning back Robert Grant III of the Harvard club, New York, who made a clean sweep over here. Iron men? Show me three hardier souls than Joseph Scherems Belgium, winner of the world sprint cycling championship six years in succession, a performance never before equaled, or Gustav Kilian and Heinz Vopel, the Germans who won eight six-day bike races in succesion. The man with probably the best balance in the world was not Don Budge or a pole vaulter but Dick Durrance of Dartmouth, who was so steady it was news when he fell while doing the treacherous slalom skiing stunt. Or how about Felix Kasper of Austria and Miss Cecilia Col-ledge of England who won the amateur figure skating titles of the world in the wake of Sonja Henie and Karl Schaefer who turned professional? Badminton had one of the greatest years in America during 1937 but the heavy populated east was shut out of the major national titles. Walter Kramer of Detroit and Mrs.

Del Barkhuff of Seattle were the best of the good at badminton. Popularity' Few know it, but one of the most popular sports in the United States is weight lifting. Heavyweight champ of the world in the strong man art is David Mayor of England. The brightest stars in American history are Anthony Terlazzo and Johny Terpak, both of York, who became the first Americans to win world titles in the lightweight and 165-pound classes, respectively. No longer can England claim lacrose supremacy.

A team of Americans invaded John Bull's domain this year' and played and won seven games. Best club team over here was the Baltimore A. C. 1 Joseph P. Platak of Chicago is a burly man but he can get around.

For the third straight year whirling Joe won the national four-wall handball singles title. Gay Paree Tops Two of the world's old masters still hold their mastery. In balkline billiards the veteran Willie Hoppe made a thrilling comeback to brush aside all competition. In chess, Dr. Alexander Ale-khine of gay Paree again was tops.

What the world of sports should promote is a "waiting championship between the doctor and Asa Lang. Ever hear of Miss Anne B. Townsend of Merion, She's the all America to end all Americas of women's field hockey. Even the hardware business developed a great champ. F.

G. Carroll, who sells nuts and bolts in Brecksville, was crowned the "grand American handicap trap-shoot champ. No one could show anything better in the women's 16-yard trapshoot than the Show-Me matron from Missouri Mrs. Lela Hall of Strasburg. If you plan a long canoe trip, try to get Ernie Riedel of New York to pull a blade.

We can recommend hig highly for he's the canoe champ. Dreams do come true. Russell Hogerhyde of Clarenton Hills, 111., was a great admirer of Robin Hood, it is claimed, and he Cleaned up as the country's best bow. and arrow man of 1937. But the hero of the sport is Erroll Flynn of the movies, who took his bow and arrow off the wall and shot a wildcat.

Nine New Swimming Arc Recorded in Florida Tourney Coral Gables, Fl. CD Nine riew national swimming records were hung up during a meet here Sunday. 1 Ralph Flanagan, Olympic holder of the American mile, half-mile and quarter-mile crowns, set three new marks in a 250-yard sprint over a 20-yard course in the Miami Biltmore pool. He clipped 9.3 seconds off the 250-vard record held by Paul Wolf, three-fifths of a second off Johnny Weismuiler's 220-yard rec ord, and 2.4 seconds on weismui ler's 2C0-yard mark. The attempts were officially timed by A.

A. U. officials and will be sent to New York for ac- ceptance. Other new records were established by Adolph Keifer, back-strcker Dorothy Forbes, back-ttrcke: Mike Sojka, breaststroke; Peter Fick, rprint swimmer, and by two relay teams, one cf them bld Feller should have a successful season, but disagreed on the number of victories he may turn in. Said Tris Speaker, one of baseball's greatest outfielders: "With his arm in rood condition, and with the experience the boy gained last summer, Feller has possibilities of winning from 25 to 35 fames.

That isn't a prediction, but he has those possibilities." Here This Weekend 00 0 Clubs Are Entered Saturday night. The Maroon cagers, out to defend the championship they won in the first annual tournament last season, will resume practice today. Southern Normal of Springfield, S. has been assigned to offer the first opposition to Morningside's drive for retention of the crown. On other sectors of the basketball front the rest of the holidays are being utilized for workouts.

The Black Raiders, who rested last week, will report today to Coach Les Davis for drill. At Central, where the Little Maroons have been under Coach H. G. Stevens' eye for the past week, there will be no practice until Thursday. rCoach Don Joynt of Trinity high school will call his blue clad hoopsters together Tuesday morning for the first of three light drills to be held this week.

As soon as play was terminated all the players except Bartram left the field. A searching party finally found him and convinced him it was safs to leave his post.

regular three and four day turns." Rebuttal by Mr. O'Neill: "If Bob ages enough, and grows enough this winter, he may be able to take a regular turn. As an 18-year-old growing boy last summer he didn't have the stamina to pitch more than once a week. I tried him several times in regular four-day turns and found out as Feller agreed, that he didn't have all his stuff when started that often." -Speaker took issue with the REAL PROBLEM Must Book the Proper Fighters for Max and Joe Louis By Dillon Graham New York. (3V-Mike Jacobs finds there are many heavyweights who would play guinea pig for Joe Louis or Max Schmeling.

Uncle Michael is booking warm up opponents for the dusky cham- cion and his eminent Teuton challenger. Both crave prelimi nary bouts before their scheduled argument in June. After the abbreviated opening act of these preliminaries, in which Schmeling easily subdued the trial horse, Harry Thomas, Jacobs office was crammed with fight managers, all offering good training fodder. Where Danger Lurks But it isn't so simple for Jac obs to select the guinea pigs. He has that million dollar attraction to protect.

He must remember that Louis' chin is sensitive to stary right hand wallops. And that some of this younger crop might topple the Uhlan. There's mystery, whispered con ferences, and conflicting state ments along Rue Cauliflower. Schmeling performance in his eight-round knockout of Thomas didn't alter many opinions as to the outcome of the Louis-Schmel- ing fight. Louis, at least for public con sumption, was unimpressed with what he saw.

'If I can knock that chap out, I ought to he said. A Little Rusty But a majority ol the cog- nescenti liked the looks of the former champion. After 18 months of idleness, Max was a trifle ring rusty. It took him sev- i i erai rounas la una mmseii. To start the elimination tour nament Nathan Mann erased Bob Pastor and Buddy Baer blotted out Eddie Hbgan, Buddy says he isn't ready for Louis yet bu would like a crack at either Jim Braddock or, Tommy Jacobs offered' the Louis shot to Mann.

Jack Kearns is blowing the horn for Jimmy Adamick and Louis, for one, wants no part him, yet. Jimmy is plenty tough and, besides, he'd probably draw a bigger gallery outdoors. Tna growling coming from the Pacific coast is Papa Max Baer. He wants to win the title again so the youngster can be proud. Tony Galento, Bob Tow and Alberto Lovell all would like a chance at either Schmeling or Louis.

Most of the fisticuff ers quickly change the subject when Galento's name is mentioned lie' rather rough and rowdy.

Santa Clara Entrains Santa Clara, Thirty six Santa Clara university football players, coaches officials and some 250 fans entrained Sunday night for New Orleans where the Broncos and the Tigers of Louisi- ana State will keep their Sugar idowi aaie ixew eluded reagular season, will have only one standard bearer West Virginia, which meets Texas Tech in th.e? "Sun bowl" at El Paso. Uninvited anywhere were, such mighty undefeated elevens as lttsburgh's Panthers, who didn't want to go anyway; Fordham's rampant Rams, and the clasy Vil- anova Wildcats.

Spartans Represent Midwest The south sends three outfits to he wars in Alabama, tangling' with California at the Rose bowl; Louisiana State, playing a return engagement with undefeated San- Clara in the Sugar bowl at New Orleans, and Auburn, meeting Michigan State in Miami's Orange bowl go. Michigan State is the only midwest contender, while the Rocky mountain sector, breaking back into the gridiron headlines, sends its unbeaten Colorado university firm of Whizzer White and company against Rice's Southwest conference titleholders in the Cotton bowl at Dallas. In point cf seniority and fan urnout, the Rose bowl battle, which figures to draw a crowd approaching the 100,000 mark, heads the list. California's batter ing Bears, unbeaten and tied only by Washington as they drove to the Pacific Coast conference crown, go into the title contest as favorites, but there's nothing one sided about it, particularly in view of 'Bama's impressive rec ord of never having been beaten in four previous bowl assignments. Tigers Seek Eevenre At San Francisco, meantime, the annual tilt between picked squads from east and west will be enter- aining a crowd of 60,000, more or ess, with some more passing ac tion.

The west, particularly, has planned its offense around the overhead game, hoping to cash in on some of the season's standout pass receivers. Louisiana State's Bayou Tigers have made the Sugar bowl game somewhat of a monopoly for themselves, but in two previous starts they have been whipped twice. Seeking revenge for the beating they absorbed last Jan uary 1, the Tigers tangle with undefeated Santa Clara in a game that will draw the most "critical" audience of the day. In the stands, enlarged to hold 45,000, will be most of the visiting delegates to the Football Coaches association meetings, who are noted far and wide for their "busman's holidays" whenever there's a grid game within reach. Whizzer White, the high scor ing all America back, will prob ably be playing his last game of football as he leads Colorado against Rice in the Cotton bowl, before an expected turnout of nearly 50,000.

After his forthcom ing graduation, White goes to England on a Rhodes scholarship, so it's safe to assume he'll be out to make a show of his finale against the team that got up off the floor to take the Southwest honors. Michigan State sends a strong outfit, beaten only twice this year (3 to 0, by Vanderbilt) against Auburn at Miami. The westerners, like most of the other bowl battlers, will go in for passing in a big way. At El Paso, West Virginia is represented by an out fit that was defeated only by Pittsburgh, the country' ranking team. Wif of Baseball Player Says He Is Seeking a Divorce Lexington, Mass.

The former June O'Dea, once a musical comedy actress, Sunday night said her husband, Vernon Gomez, New York Yankees' pitch ing ace, had left her and filed suit for divorce in Mexico. Asserting she had received formal divorce papers filed by Gomez, the pretty show girl declared she would "fight the action."

Now all that is left is a final fanfare of predictions, compari sons and pregame controversy.

Alabama's squad of 40, headed by Coach Frank Thomas, took a complete holiday Sunday.

Bears Reassemble Today The California team was scat tered between Southern Califor nia and Berkeley, winding up a weekend rest from grid duties. Coach Leonard Allison will reassemble his team here Monday and resume workouts. Members of the Tide squad re acted with small concern over the general selection of California as the winner New Years day, a view based mainly on the heavier poundage of the Bears.

i The Tide knows every time It has come here for the Rose bowl, with one exception, it has been the. underdog which upset the dope. Objects of Chief interest in the Alabama camp seem to be Sam Chapman, all America halfback; pass throwing Vic "Bottari and John Meek, a great blocker, and big Bob Herwig, powerful defensive center. Tide's Spirit Is Great "We haven't scouted Califor nia, and I understand they haven't scouted us, but we know they must have a great team," Coach Thomas commented. "But we have fighting outfit that may stop them, even if they do outweigh us." It is this "fighting spirit" more than any one thing that has im pressed visitors to the Tide train ing camp.

At the same time, no one has discounted Calif orma as a methodical, mechanical team. The Rears have been fired UP too many times and too successfully all year to be placed in that bracket.
