To the Red Wings it has become, "Keep the Bruins away from secona place. Sunday night the Wings will have a chance to do something about it because they face the Boston Bruins at 8:30 o'clock at Olympia. By winning they can strengthen their hold on second place and possibly cut down the margin or the nrst-piace Toronto Ulaple Leafs. Boston and Detroit have played 140 minutes of hockey this season and are no further ahead than when the current campaign start ed.

They have played to a 4-4 tie in Boston and a 1-1 tie in Detroit. The Same Club Boston has the same club which Won the National League title last winter but lost out to the Rangers in the Stanley Cup play offs. The Bruins won 31 ana tied five of their 48 games last winter principally because tneir "sauerkraut" line of PorKy JJU mart. Milt Schmidt and Bobby Bauer monopolized the Individual scoring honors.

Besides these outstanding play ers, the Bruins have Center Bill Cowley, who has led the National League in scoring through most of the present campaign, two members of the Bruins, Defense- man Dit Clapper and Schmidt. were placed on the All-League team last season, and Goalie Frank Brlmsck and Dumart were placed on the second team. Eddie Wiseman, former Red Wing star, has been going great guns this year for the Bruins. Wings Want Victories The Wings will be at full strength for the Bruins and they are also hungry for a few victories. They haven't won a game In their three last starts, all of which went into overtime.

They dropped one to the Montreal Canadiens and lost one and tied one with the New York Americans. Despite this slump Detroit is still in sec-pnd place. Manager Jack Adams had to give his players a aay on Tiaay because the ice had to be taken from Olympia for the amateur DOXing snow, DUl me vruigs were back practicing at p.m. eauir- day.

If he had caught six his plate probably would have broken into bits. Left to right are Rufus Jones, Bull Montana, Bull Curry, Walter Roxy (dimly seen) and, choking the daylights out of the others, Angelo Savoldi. The sixth man Monday night will be Paul Orth, the.

advanced The Christmas spirit in down town Detroit starts at the foot of Woodward and proceeds rapid ly north as far as Hendrie, where It takes a sudden leap into the air and lands on the next street, Antoinette. In the block between those two streets pure hatred reigns, because there stands the Arena Gardens, scene Monday night of what is called a battle royal. In case you are not up on wrestling and boxing terms, a battle royal is an event in which five or six athletes are in the ring at the same time. The last man sanding is declared the winner. For the battle royal Monday night Promoter Eddie Lewis has chosen six prominent wrestlers, four of whom are well known mat villains.

When Leo (Llppy) Durocher, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was lniormea that he had No. 560 In Uncle Sam's i big Army draft, he cracked, "All I know is that I'm ready whether it gun or shovel." When the Chi cago Bears fin' Ished trouncing Vj the Washington Redskins, 73 to 0, most of the Bears came into their locker room Inquiring, "What was the score, anyway Spike Brlggs, orgetown's Brigg No. 1 alumnus In Detroit, will be in Miami Jan. 1 to see Georgetown play Mississippi State in the Orange Bowl.

Spike said, "I've been waiting 10 years to see Georgetown in the big time and you can bet your life I'm not going to miss that game."

Did you know that John Schom-mer, the Big Ten basketball olli- cial, led the Conference in scoring three straight years when he was a player at the university of Chi cago? That was in 1907, 1908 and 1909. Only one Michigan player in history led the Big Ten cagers in scoring, Uenny Ooster baan in 192S. Benny scored law points that year.

When Frank was playing for the Rangers he won the Lady Byng Trophy as the "most gentlemanly player in the National League seven times, No other player ever won this trophy more than twice. Busiest basketball player in town is Louie jagnow, the lormer Car negie Tech captain. Louie plays with the Triple A Sam's team besides being secretary-treasurer of the D.B.A. He is burdened with making out the schedule so every team is satiS' fled. That's quite a job.

No entry fee 1, charged by the Free Press, but entrants must be registered amateurs by the A.A.U., which charges 25 cents for the service Registration is Insisted upon nd that each contestant can be assured that the men he will meet in the course of the tournament are real amateurs. Competition In the tournament In the past has been confined to two classes, the novice and th open. For the protection of the boys, however, it has been decided to add another class this year, the Junior novice. This class will con-tain boys who have never won a bout In A.A.U.

competition, was added so that a boy fightine his first bout will not be in danger of being matched with an opponent of much greater experience than himself. It thus should encourage beginners. Fair to All Entrants The novice class will contain those boys who have not qualified for semifinal bouts in previous novice boxing bouts. Those who have so qualified will have to compete in the open class, which will contain all those boxers not included in the other two classes. Gloves bouts are carefully supervised by the A.A.U.

Before entering the ring each contestant is given a careful physical examina. tion by the A.A.U. medical staff, which is headed by Dr. A. R.

Hack-ett Other members of the staff are Drs. H. E. Clark, R. J.

Deerinr H. F. Janis and D. J. Pike.

State inspectors, appointed by John J. Hettche, chairman of the Michigan Athletic Board of Control, will be on hand at each show to make sure that all equipment is in the proper order. Every pre-caution is taken to insure the safety of the contestants. There is room for fighters of all sizes and weights in the Golden Gloves. Weight divisions are 112-pound, 118-pound, 126-pound, 135-pound, 147-pound, 160-pound, 175-pound and the unlimited division.

No boxer will be permitted to compete in any division if he is more than two pounds over the weight specified for that division. Free Training Available Boys are not asked to enter the tournament without receiving the benefit of preliminary training. Scattered about the city are gymnasiums where boys may train free of charge and receive coaching in the art of defense from seasoned instructors. Most of these men are veteran professional fighters who have spent years coaching aspiring young ringmen. As in the past, preliminary shows in the Golden Gloves tournament will be conducted at neighborhood clubs at which the young Glovers train.

Proceeds of these shows go to the clubs which stage them. The Free Press tournament is the only one in the city which helps the boxing clubs in this manner. The Gloves entry list will close Jan. 10, and since the tournament annually draws hundreds of entrants, boys wishing to compete will be wise to get their entries in early. The entry forms mav be procured at the offices of the Michigan A.A.U., Hotel Statler Building.

131 W. -Adams. Beginners and unattached boxers will be especially wise to sign up early. Once their entries are in, they can consult the Michigan A.A.U. secretary about places where they can train and receive instruction.

That will enable them to reach fighting condition before the first bouts are held. Three Two-King Shows This year's program includes 13 preliminary shows, three of which will be two-ring affairs.

The success which our team made of the forward-passing style of play will be seen if you refer to our game with Illinois State university played in 1913 when on account of the drenched condition of the field and carrying the ball was impossible we attempted approximately 39 forward passes, completing 35 successfully, and winning the game." Thirty-five pass completions on a field that was too wet for running plays! And that was 25 years ago, in the twilight of the push- and-pull era. Rockne Asks $1,500 The Specialists' Bureau wrote also: "Mr. Knute Rockne has been of fered "J1.500 to remain at Notre Dame, but you can secure him, I believe, by prompt action at $1,600." Rockne's application form gave $1,500 to 11,80.) as the lowest salary he would accept It outlined his playing career, which included three years at varsity end, some service in the backfield, and the last year (1913) as captain. He played baseball and basketball also, and was on the track team. Both men listed their best track and field performances, and Shaughnessy'a were consistently better.

Parts of the correspondence mention Rockne somewhat as an afterthought. A letter from Marks to a college coach residing in Chicago, asking about several prospects principally Ray Eich- enlaub, great Notre Dame fullback says: "We have also an application from Rockne of Notre Dame. What kind of man is he?" Two Stars Given Praise The coach's answer stated: "Eichenlaub was a big man physically as well as in ability. If he knows the game as he plays it he should be a good man. I would say the same for Rockne.

Rockne has had experience as a coach in both football and track. Both of these men were terrors for work, and I believe would be Inclined to work your teams too hard unless warned." Rockne, who had taught In the pharmacy lab at Notre Dame his first year out of school, was then assistant athletic director. His superior, Jesse C. Harper, wrote In a recommendation: "A fine personality and lots of enthusiasm. Very good personal appearance; morals line, exceptionally good influence on students, The best football captain I ever saw.

That will speak for his ability as a leader. Mr. Rockne is one of our best students in the uni. versity." Rockne Is Too Busy Marks asked Rockne to come to New Orleans for an interview, but the applicant, preparing his track team for the Drake Relays and other important meets, wrote on April 3. 1915: "I will be quite busy until after the Western Conference meeting in June, hence the authorities here are unwilling to allow me the time off which a trip to New Orleans would necessitate." Marks answered on April 13: "As you cannot make the trip to New Orleans it will be impossible for us to consider your application." Shaughnessy, asked to come for an interview, wired back that he was taking the first available train.

Bible was coaching at Mississippi College and on April 1 wrote Marks asking him to mail the contract for the Tulane-Mississlppl College game the following fall. After the signature comes this: S. Will Tulane University be In need of a coach and athletic director for next season? If not will they need an assistant?" He was told that the board had proceeded so far with examination of applicants on hand that it could not entertain new ones. There was much correspondence with McGugin, at Vanderbilt, who recommended Morrison, then coach tng at Branham and Hughes School in Spring Hill, Tenn. But Morrison was rejected when he could not leave his teaching duties for a personal appearance.

Moran, who was just leaving the job of coach at Texas A. and applied unsuccessfully. He then went to Centre College, where he developed the great Bo McMillin, A sequel to the story came only a lew days ago wnen Marks young daughter, hearing that her father had a part in rejecting Rockne's services, declared: "Daddy, I bet if you'd seen the movie, you would have hired him." U-M Cager Given a Rare Nickname One of the most perplexing problems amon? Michiean swim ming fans in the past year has Deen me origin or the unusual nickname of Matt Mann's star diver, "T-Bone" Martin. It all came about as the natural course of vents which transpired each time Mann took his swimmers to dinner. Invariablv th diminutive diver would order a large T-bone steak.

Consequently, the boys decided that rather than call him Strother (which is his Christian name) or Shorty they would just nickname him T-Bone and be done with it. The nickname has stuck, and as a result few people on campus are sure what his real name is.

Taylor's spectacular surge forward gave him 274 winners for the year, only six behind Dew, a recent arrival from California. Taylor scored a major triumph In today's feature, the $2,000 added Miami Handicap, when he rode E. K. Bryson's Clyde Tolson to victory. Dew figured in a dead heat for third.

The following event produced an even more smashing victory, when Taylor brought in Talent, a 540.90-for-two shot, and Dew was twelfth and last aboard Pari-Ernest. Taylor's first victory of the day was with Bell Tower, a favorite, who broke last and nosed out a victory right on the wire, while Dew, riding Wing Wing, was eleventh in the twelve-horse event. Bell Tower paid $4.70. Taylor rode seven mounts, winning three, placing with one and running out of the money with three. Dew had two shows in four races.

'Ill al luiMu, Im.u.ij.ti, BT FLETCHER EDWARDS Otwio Ski Club Fro It is true, snow may appear soft and fluffy, and most hills not too steep, but many a self-taught skier is forced to tell of his thrill ing experiences, from a wheel chair. Human instincts unfortun ately are opposed to the laws of dynamics for perfect skiing. It is a natural tendency to lean in toward a slope, rather than forward, away from it. This instinctive tendency and the begin ners futile attempts to hold his balance while his knees are stiff can be overcome only by clear i understanding and analysis of. what he is doing wrong and how i he can correct it before he breaks a leg experimenting.

Instruction has become the act.
