Playing without the services of Leroy Goidsworthy, fleet right winger, for all save less than two minutes of the first period, the Olympics won without a great deal of trouble, although they were Subjected to a lot of physical discomfort In the process of thoroughly humiliating the leaders. Art Gagne stepped into Golds-worthy's place on the right flank and helped himself to the first and last goals scored by the Olympics, while Johnny Newman and Stan McCabe sniped the other pair.

Feb. 23 (A. James Crowley, football coach at Michigan State College, returned home tonight from Chicago and confirmed reports he had heen offered the job of football eoarh at the University of Iowa. He said he would give his answer "in a couple of days," but gave no indication as to what that answer would be.

Crowley said he conferred In Chicago yesterday with Edward H. leanerdirector of athletics at Iowa, and another member of the board, and that they told him he had been chosen as the man desired for the position left vacant by the resignation of Coach Burt Ing-'wersen. Crowley's contract here has two years more to run, but It is believed he would not be restrained from accepting a better position should he ask to be released. He would not discuss terms of the contract tendered him, but It was understood here he had been offered a substantial increase In salary. Since the resignation of Burt Ing-werson at Iowa, it has been public knowledge that the Hawkeve institution favored Crowley as the next coach.

A list of six names was marie out, and Crowley headed it, Iowa acknowleded. The Spartan mentor was called Into conference by the Iowa board Jan. 20, heard the proposition and apparently was ready to accept, according to Iowa statements. But denied being Interested when interviewed at Chicago by newspaper representatives. Crowley took over the reins at Michigan State in the fall of 1929, succeeding Harry Klpke when he wnt to Michigan.

Crowley's three gridiron teams have been outstanding and have brought the school national repute. He first gained fame as one of Notre Dame's "Four Horesmen." ALEXANDER DOES TAUL LAWRENZ NED D1EFENDORF Northern High Veterans Expected to Place in City Swimming Meet HEAVY ROAD WORK EAST LANSING, Feb. 24 Four Individual champions will defend their laurels in the twelfth annual Michigan State College track carnival Saturday night. Entries reveal that Nelson Schrier, Western State Teachers College, will return to defend his high jump honors; that Gene Beatty, dusky national hurdle champion, representing Michigan Normal College, will appear in both the high and low hurdles, events he won a year ago; that Clark S. Chamberlain, State's star distance galloper, will be on hand for his last home college appearance, and that Bill O'Nell, University of Detroit sprinter, will send his lean frame over the 40-yard dash distance in an attempt to retain his laurels.

It doesn't appear likely any of the champions will be deprived of first places. Schrier may encounter some trouble, but the rest of the crown bearers look like the class of their respective events. O'Neil is recovering from an illness, but has been looking forward to the carnival as the day of his return to form. He will find Schatte, Michigan Normal star, his principal rival. Chamberlain In Relay It Isn't at all certain Chamber lain will run his favorite two-mile distance.

He has been billed for this special event but it now de velops States two-mile relay team will be forced to enter the program soon after the two-mile and if the Spartans want to have a chance in a fast race with Michigan Normal and Western State they must call upon Chamberlain to help carry the baton. It appeared today he would be reserved for a leg on the relay. Another reason is that he will be asked to run both the mile and two-mile races next Tuesday night and Coach Ralph H. Young does not wish to tire his star in the carnival feature. This two-mile relay race promises to be a fast one.

Coach Lloyd Olds, of Normal, has all but one member of the Huron team that set the carnival record of 8:301 last year. James O'Connor, Arthur Burholdt and Rha Arnold are on hand. Val-den Criger, the fourth, is gone, but in his stead Coach Olds has Kahler, former Redford High School boy, who promises to run a very fast lap. To Aid Olympic Fund Michigan State, with Chamberlain in the harness, will present a fast- stepping quartet. Otto Pongrace is another speedy member of the Spartan four.

Coach Young be lieves Western State Teachers will have a team in the same class as the first two. Detroit City College having lost such fine stars as Lewis, Langs and Beauvais, does not promise to defend Its 440-yard relay champion ship. Grand Rapids Junior College will have a team here to try re peating in the Junior College med ley race. There will also be 880- yard and two-mile relays for freshmen. Coach Young announced today that all proceeds of the meet wiil be turned over to the United States Olympic fund, the Spartans con tribution to this event, me plan has been approved by the College Athletic Council.

Dempsey Rejects N. Y. Garden Bid Sprirt to Free Prenn and Chliwo Trihun r.t;w iukk, J-en. z.i Square Garden today offered Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion, a 10-round bout with Ernie Schaaf. Paulino Uzcudun, Steve Hamas or Max Baer.

and Dempsey, through his manager, turned the match down for the present, at least. Leonard Sacks Jack's business agent, replied that present plans call for Dempsey's confining himself to his string of these to be followed by a rest, and then a campaign of intensive training for a 10-round go in some outdoors arena this coming summer. TROTTING ASSOCIATION RELEASES YEARBOOK Wallace's Year Book of trotting and pacing for 1931 has just been released by the American Trutting Register Association. This volume, No. 44, contains the complete record of all harness meets held in 1931, and a list of all horses eligible for racing in 1932.

fl Big Fellow Is Anxious high school swimming in the history of the sport here. Snider Must Beat Wonslk The Northern Eskimos are counting on little Charles Snider, free style swimmer, and three of his teammates for points in the finals. Snider is the smallest member of the squad. He turned in better practice time this week than at any time during the season, lorn Clemens, veteran coach, expects the boy to be at his best Wednesday. Charles will need to be if he is to meet Waiter Wonsik, of Western, present record holder in the 50-yard event.

These two and Ackerman, of Eastern, and Adcock, of Redford, may be matched in the finals. Paul Lawrenz is the Eskimo threat in the 100-yard breast stroke. It is expected Lawrenz will win his heat in the preliminaries and swim in the finals against Ford, Highland Park ace. Ford has broken the record in dual meet competition. Dick-man, also of the Parker School, looms as a contender ln this event.

Dlefendorf Is Favorite Webber is the Eskimo back stroke swimmer. He ranks with Tony Sien-kiewlcz, of Western, and Holmes, of Highland Park. Tony has bet tered the mark for the event on several occasions. The Western boy appears to have the edge. But the other swimmers will push him.

Ned Diefendorf, Northern's undefeated diving champion, won the event in the City meet last year without serious competition. He Is a favorite to repeat. Al Szynal, the freshman from Western, will push Ned in the plain dives. But coaches say the Northern boy Is without a peer in the more difficult optional figures. Schuman, Eastern veteran, will give the Northern ace keen competition, according to Coach Hugo Matson, of the Indian School.

CUBS DEFEAT ALUMNI IN BASKETBALL GAME The U. of D. High basketball team defeated an Alumni aggregation. 31 to 22, at the Cub Gym, Tuesday. John Schafer and Jim Berg, of the High School, and Leo Voslopper, of the Alumni, tied for Individual honors with 10 points apiece.

JAMES K. CROWLKY SPORT ROOM GOSSIP By THE SrORTS STAFF WILLIAM (SCOTTY) Monteith has a new heavyweight hope and he Is collegiate. Gordon Wllle, six feet five Inches tall, weighing 210 pounds, and only 20 years old. is the young fellow with pugilistic ambitions who would emulate Steve Hamas. Wille, a lean-limbed, good-looking kid, Is a student at Ypsilantl Nor mal and plays football or maybe he Is Just a tackle.

He is a sophomore and Ypsi's heavyweight champion, Monteith bumped Into him recently and thinks the boy may have something besides a generous supply of avoirdupois. His bed fellows at Ypsi Insist that he is a good boxer, fast afoot and a devastating puncher with his right hand. According to Montelth's way of figuring, Wille need not be so good in order to get along nicely with the crop of behemoths now touring the Country in the guise of fighters. Wille has all the physical requisites of a good heavyweight. His 210 pounds is well distributed and he appears to be intelligent, even if he does want to Join the ear-tinning industry.

"Scotty" has arranged to watch the boy work in the ring. We may hear more of him later. TO JI ST WHAT lengths certain opinionated persons will go in order to make their arguments appear good for certain reforms was well illustrated the other day. Despite a most effective arid exhaustive Investigation by Fleming H. Yost, of the University of Michigan, but 23 deaths directly attributable to football last season were found.

Yet two weeks later Prof. Frank S. Lloyd, 6f New York University, claims 49 deaths and 1,346 injuries in a survey he made. Three factors were responsible, he said. Yet when he came to itemizing the causes he finds but 19 deaths under six heads.

Here are a few examples of the "deaths caused by Allan Wake, St. Edward, died of infection. Bad blood condition, not football, was the cause. Ernest Davis, Bottineau, N. died from the same cause.

WARD RICHARDSON SPRINGS, Feb. 23 Wet shirts are deadly weapons so far as ball players are concerned. That is the opinion of Denny Carroll, the Tigers' new trainer.

Carroll la convinced wet or damp shirts have caused more arms to go bad than any other one thing. He ought to know because he has been treating renegade arms for 23 years. Carroll Is a kindly, sandy-haired Irishman whose cheeks have been reddened and wrinkled by years of sunshine and laughter. He gave his views on weak arms the other day while sitting in the bath house oi(inr fnr the Beneals to appear for their dally sulphur bath and massage. hall nlnvem wilf tell VOU they remember the exact throw on which thev injured tneir arms, said Carroll.

"That is the oil. Only a few players injure their arms by throwing. The majority fuffer rm needlessly charging Marty Lauder Into the fence. Not Same Team The 7.000 odd customers, who saw the Bisons take it on the chin Tuesday night, can understand why the leaders have dropped five, tied one and won two of their last eight games. They did not look like the Bisons of six weeks ago and, had It not been for some glaring leniency on the part of the officials, Guy Smith and "Puss" Traub, Detroit's margin might have been six or seven goals.

Carl Voss was exceptionally fortunate In escaping the eye of the officials. He almost cut the arms off Johnny Newman late in the game, and slashed George Hay over the hands with so much vigor the Olympics' pilot came out of the game with a badly blistered left thumb. Voss wrapped himself around Hay so effectively in the Buffalo goal mouth in the dying minutes of the game he did manage to get a penalty, but saved a sure goal. The book in this case calls for a major penalty, but the Picolo Petes had no books. Was Queer Game It was a queer game in which some vicious play escaped official notice and silly Infractions drew the limit of the law from the arbiters.

The arm-slashing activities of Voss were passeo up, but Frank Peters foolishly gave Lloyd Gross a playful push on the back after play had been stopped and drew a minor. Frank was displeased and took a mild swing with his stick at Continued on Fage II, Column 6 FALCONS BEATEN IN LAST MINUTE Canadiens Triumph in Montreal, 2 to I MONTREAL, Feb. 23 -(Canadian Press) Wlldor La Roch-elle kept the Montreal Canadiens at the head of the Canadian section of the National Hockey League by rifling a blazing shot past Alex Connell with 44 seconds to go ln the last period, thereby defeating the Detroit Falcons 2 to 1 here tonight before a crowd of 11,000. It was an uninteresting game until the last period when Canadiens strove desperately to score as the ranks of the Falcons were depleted by penalties. La Rochelle tallied his goal when Detroit was short Alex Smith, who went to the hoosegaw for tripping Leduc.

Soon after the start of the last session. Young took a penalty and the Canadiens buzzed around Con-nell's goal, but were unable to tally. Then Frank Carson received a major penalty for clipping Mondou over the head. Again the Frenchmen swarmed around Connell, but he kept them out. Carson came ba-'k, and with about a minute and a half to go Alex Smith tripped Leduc and went to the cooler.

Then came La Rochelle's goal with 44 seconds to go. With Boston losing to the New York Rangers, and with Chicago idle, Detroit still remains in third place in the American section. DKTROIT (AWIllKNS ronnll Goal Main. worth K. II n.

RIVALS PREPARE TO TEST VENZKE Star Milers Entered in K. of C. Games NEW YORK, Feb. If the season's finest speed creation, Gene Venzke, fails to throw the world's 1,500 meters record for a loss in the Knights of Columbus games here Saturday night, it will not be for lack of competition. Leo Lermond and Frank Crowley, of the boys who had important business elsewhere when it came to chase Gene In the National A A.

U. mile last night, have promised faithfully to give the pride of Potts-town all the running he can use this time. So has Ray Conger, the American outdoor record holder at the distance. Carl Coan, University of Pennsylvania star, also may be there when Venzke lights out in quest or a new mark. Venzke will be shooting at Conger's record of 3:55, set on an outdoor track in a try-out for the last Olympics, and at Lloyd Hahn's indoor standard of 3:55 4-5, made in 1925.

Early Appointment of Crisler Expected PRINCETON. N. Feb. 23 A. Indications at Princeton Uni versity today were that a definite announcement could be expected shortly on the selection of a football coach to succeed Al Wittmer, who resigned last fall, probably tomorrow.

Although no spokesman for the athletic office would commit himself, it was believed certain that H. O. (Fritz) Crisler, athletic di rector of the I sity of Minnesota, was the only man under considera CRISLER tion now. Thurston J. Davies, supervisor of athletics, issued the following statement: "I will merely reiterate that no official announcement about the new football coach will be made until negotiations are completed with the man who is selected for the position by the board of athletic control." ens the arm, causing the arm to go dead.

"Does the player ever attribute his trouble to the recent cold? "He does not. He will tell you his arm became sore because he threw a high, fast one to Joe Doakes at a certain time on a certain day in July." Because of his belief Carroll is highly auspicious of stiff necks. Two days after his arrival in camp, Arthur Herring returned from a hike and reported that his neck was a trifle stiff as the result of a cold he had contracted on the train. Carroll took him In tow at once. He put Herring ln a sulphur bath and then massaged him thoroughly about the neck and arms in order to relieve the soreness.

Herring still is under observation, but would laugh If anyone suggested anything was wrong with him. Herring's arm at no time was affected, but Carroll acted quickly on the theory that It might i 1 CALDER LIFTS BAN ON 'RED' HORNER But Charlie Conacher Stands Suspended MONTREAL, Feb. 23 (A. i Reginald (Red) Horner, defense- man for the Toronto Maple Leafs, of the National Hockey League, today was reinstated by President Frank Calder after being under indefinite suspension for a third major penalty, inflicted when ho was sent on the ice recently while his team was at full strength. Horner, along with Charlie Conacher, Maple.

Leaf wing, was sent on the ice by Coach Dick Irwin to draw a major and the automatic game suspension which follows the third major. The two men were on the injured list and unable to play so Irwin figured he would clear the slate for later In the campaign when a third major and a game suspension might come when the men were In condition and needed for play. The scheme backfired when President Calder indefinitely suspended both men. Calder explained today's action by saying Horner was In condition to play Saturday and that therefore his game suspension would apply to that date. No action was taken on Conacher, who Is still on the Injured list.

Metro Indoor Team Protests Lost Tilt Lincoln Metros Indoor baseball team received its first defeat of the season Tuesday night at the Police gym when Leo's Hardware scored a 12 to 3 upset. The Metros protested the game because of a ruling by Umpire Herman. If the protest is not upheld the two teams will be tied for first place in the Municipal League. In other contests Spartans won from Musketeers, 8 to 3, and Fiftv-Fifty Club defeated Clippers, 8 to 7. justified the coach In this case, although, of course, it would be going too far to indorse his action as a general precedent.

The man might have been a Harvard chap, and. in that case, Mr. Leader's familiarity might have been resented with a cold and distant stare. To be sure. New Haven Bay would be a bit out of the normal territory of a Harvard man, but the water there Is Just a little above the freezing point and a Harvard man might go that far south for a dip, Just to warm up.

Suppose he had been a Harvard chap. That would have been a proper situation. After all, what of Mr. Leader's family? Are they by any chance in trade? What are his clubs, If any? Is he sound on the important things?

It micht be interesting to know that Los Angeles had the equipment from some 10,000 miniature eolf courses to work on in the way of building material and outdoor decorations. Many or tnese miniature courses had rather fancy rock garden decorations, used for hazards as well as for adornment, and these have come in for handy use after they were thought to be as extinct as the blue-toed Cassowary. With the lull still on in many lines, sport continues Its big puRh toward a heavy campaign. The ball players are under way. Most of the leading golfers are looking forward to the main show at Fresh Meadow in June, and the spring tennis campaign will he one of the most Interesting in some time.

Fans In Training Sometimes one wonders whether the baseball training camp season is for the players or for the fans. Certainly no ball club could get a line on Its foibles without going into Its annual February and March huddle, and a lot of difficult play ers have to be unwound and put together again after the winter tangles. The success of Al Simmons and Chick Hafey last year clouds the picture a bit. Both were holdouts at the opening of the 1931 campaign, and neither spent a minute in training camp. Simmons boiled out at Hot Springs, and Hafey had to toil with one of the Cardinal farm clubs.

Yet without the skull practice with their teammates they swept to the batting championships of their respective leagues. The baseball fan couldn get along without the Southern and Western seasons. He extends his circle of acquaintances to include 50 or more world-beaters, and nourishes the friendships by burying his nose in the news. Players like Simmons and Hafey might get in condition all by themselves, but the fan couldn't. He needs supervision and the right kind of food training camp grist ana gun.

Yale Coach Risks Rebuff in Rescuing Drowning Man Neglected to Ascertain His Antecedents Before Pulling Him From Water Annoy Trainer of Tigers By WESTBROOK PEGLER NEW YORK. Feb.

23 As an example of refined restraint under un- usual circumstances, I give you the conduct of the Yale rowing crew toward an old man to whom they haa not been introduced when they saw him drowning in the water of New Haven Bay Friday as they were out for their first row of the season, under the direction of their coach, Mr. Ed Leader. The story of the Incident relates that the Yale oarsmen, with consummate tact, refrained from any action which could have been construed as an intrusion until Mr. Leader, in that abrupt, breezy manner of the West, which is bo often resented in England and the American East, threw the subject a rope. "Instead of helping the man," saya the account wired down from New Haven, "the oarsmen asked questions." As matters turned out.

the man in the water was an informal sort i of fellow himself, and. far from re-i sentlng Mr. Leader rather forward i way of doing, accepted the rope in the spirit In which It was flung and I waa hauled out. So circumstances injuries two days, two weeks or even two months before they find it out themselves." A high percentage of arm troubles is due to carelessness on the part of the players, Carroll explained. "A lot of these fellows will go out and work hard ln a hot sun.

Then they will return to the sudden cool of dugout shadows, sit in a draught or fail to keep themselves properly covered. "The result will be a cold which often is accompanied by a stiff neck. Frequently the same trouble that causes the neck muscles to become sore also will affect the arm muscles without the player becoming aware of that fact. When the stiffness leaves his neck muscles the player will think he has recovered from the cold. "One day the player will go out and throw a high, fast one to say, Joe Doakes at a certain time on a certain day In July.

The cold in the arm suddenly will register, causing a short circuit that dead.
