If Winn SMITH United States, France, Germany, and Italy are aiding the Chinese with more war materials than is the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. Admission fnat Russian weapon and ammunition are being sent to China and the assertion that such shipments will continue was contained in official Soviet advices from Hankow, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's emergency capital. The dispatches bitterly accused the Japanese press of arousing public opinion in Japan against Russia by asserting that Moscow is prolonging the Far Eastern! war with its material help to China. It was declared that "the amount of Soviet war supplies reaching China is insignificant compared with the amount of materials arriv-' ing there from America, England, France, Germany, and Italy." Over Terrace Park By 42-To-24 Score Gergen And Westerfrld Annex 23 Points For Hughes Team. Hughes High School's Big Reds scored their second victory during the holidays last night when they defeated Terrace Park, 42 to 24, on the Terrace Park court.

Gergen whipped through eight field goals and one free toss for 17 points, while Westerfeld hit the "bucket" with four "two-pointers." Shaw led the Bulldogs with 13 points. HUGHES. TERRACE PARK. FG.FT.TP FG.FT.TP CALLING ALL SPORTS "HAPPY NEW YEAR." It's the eve of the New Year.

The day before Ol' Man 1937 wraps his robes around him and shuffles off to parts unknown. The day he-fore Kid Cupid 1938 appears on the scene. It's the turn in the tide, the moving out of the old, the improvements that come with new blood. And the realization that a new broom always sweeps clean. Right now your Uncle Lou wants to wish a Happy New Year to all sports.

I don't believe my -ood wishes are needful, but they never do any harm. I'm sure that on the whole our ailing sports are on the way to new heights. I believe Our Reds are going to perk up. They caa't do any worse. And with Bill McKechnie, voted the outstanding manager of 1937, at the helm, they may go places, that is, if the young pitchers live up to all the nice things being predicted for them.

Also look for the Bearcat footballers at the University of Cincinnati to move back into the victory column next fall after 10 straight defeats under the skilled leadership and coaching: of Herr Joseph (Remember Rule No. 6) Meyer. Such amateur sports as olf a.id tennis ought to march steadily ahead, and I'm sure that's what we're going to see. So to the sports games and sports competition once more I put out the wish for a 1938 that will have everything the boys and girls desire. 8 1 17 Miller.f 3 2 8 0 0 0 Chapman.

Loquacious Jimmy Dykes, popular skipper of the Chicago White Sox, recently was voted the No. 1 optimist of all sportdom, when he emphatically announced that the New York Yankees will not win the American League pennant in 1938. Asked why he thought the Yankees wouldn't make it three straight wins in the junior circuit, he replied: "Tony Lazzeri is gone. He was the brains of the Yankee club.

Whenever a pitcher got into a jam, whenever a catcher was undecided what to call for, whenever the outfield needed instruction where to play for a certain hitter they all went to Luzzeri for advice. "He was the dynamo that ran the Yankee club. Watch what happens next year. The fans, of course, did not know this, but we ball players did." HOT SHOTS FROM HLRE AND THERE. Many of the Hot Stove League experts say that ii the Cards get any kind of pitching they will be the team to beat next season in the National League The word is also out that Bill Hershberger, new Hedleg catcher, will have to learn how to hit a high, fast ball before he will be much help offensively to our cellar-dwelling Reds During the year Slamin' Sam Snead, second money-winning pro, was leading at one time or other in eight major tournaments The tip is out that Jimmy Phelan, who played on pre-war Notre Dame teams and served an apprenticeship under Knute Rockne, and now head football coach of the University of Washington Huskies, will be named shortly to succeed Harry Kipke at Michigan.

Centenary College claims the hard luck trophy for the year. The Gents, who tangle with Xavier Musketeers next Monday night at the Fieldhouse, lost four promising basketball players, one by death, another through appendicitis, a third with a broken toe, and a fourth with a crushed cheek bone. FROFESSOR CROWE EXPECTS IMPROVEMENT. Coach Clem Crowe expects his Xavier basketballers to do better after the first of the year. Clem said that he has too many footballers on his cage squad.

"It takes about six weeks to loosen up a football man for basketball," he said. "By that time the season is half over. Football is no good for a basketball man. 3ut you'll usually find the best forward pass defensive men to be basketball players. Basketball develops a keen sense of anticipation." Grid Practice Is Completed For East-West Charity Tilt LOOSING 'CM OVER ifV SOS BOUSB' Win, lose or draw the University of Alabama figures to do all right on their trip to the West Coast.

As a financial venture the Rose Bowl has been a modern gold rush to Alabama. In four trips Alabama has come home with close to $300,000. And this time, with the ticket sales closed weeks ago, the gate is expected to run near the $300,000 mark. This means that Alabama's share will run their five-game total almost to a half million dollars. And just think of the glory, too.

Three victories, one tie, and No excuse is necessary to celebrate tonight. Everyone is entitled to spend as much as he wants for a tin whistle and paper hat regardless of whether he has anything to celebrate or not. However, the lads who have the real excuse for a rip-roarin' festival are the nation's caddies. At midnight the United States Golf Association's new edict limiting a golfer's clubs to 14 will go into effect. At midnight the boys who take the abuse of duffers and experts alike without a comeback will be freed of the burden of toting bags into which everything but a complete camping outfit has been stuffed.

The rule preventing niblickers from loading their bags with a veritable arsenal of irons and woods also may prove a boon for the average golfer. It is possible and likely that it may be a break for the golfers who have enough trouble trying to master seven clubs, but who use 16 or 18 to satisfy their vanity. The post-season or bowl games that have swept the country like wildfire the last couple of years drew the criticism of Harvey J. Harman, University of Pennsylvania and Chairman of the Public Relations Committee of the National Football Coaches' Association, yesterday at New Orleans. Declaring that the various bowl games and charity games are creating a situation which needs the attention of the association, Harman said "certain of the consequences of the many extra games which outstanding teams are called upon to play are distinctly inimical to the welfare of football.

"There is a growing feeling among the players that they are being exploited by these out-of-sra-son games," he continued, adding, "this feeling was expressed by a major team when their members were reported to have asked for a sum of money to participate." Gambling, especially In the form of pools; drinking by spectators, and the increased desire of intoxicated spectators to rush onto the field and make tackles also were attacked by the committee. First thing you know they'll take all the fun out of the game. A spelling bee between boxers and wrestlers is to be broadcast next month. Why not let some of our other athletes enter? Bowling B.

Leonard Dodson Downs Horlon Smith By Three Strokes In Hollywood Play-Off. Hollywood, December 30 '(AP) Leonard Dodson, wise-cracking "forgotten man of golf," defeated his one-time teacher, Hor-ton Smith by three strokes today in a playoff for top money of $750 in the Hollywood open.

The twenty-five-year-old Dodson scored a 71, one over par, to Smith's 74 in the single-round match after they had tied at 278 over the regulation seventy-two-hole route. Smith, who helped Dodson get his first job as a caddy years ago in their home town of Springfield, collected second money, $550. The Springfield club's caddy-master had refused Dodson's plea for a bag-carrying assignment on the grounds the lad was too small when Smith interceded. Dodson, who weighs only 140 pounds now, was permitted to shag balls on the practice fairway and soon was shooting excellent golf under the guidance of Smith, then a junior professional. "Imagine me winning a tournament," grinned Dodson.

"I won't believe it until I see it in the papers." Winner of two previous playoffs In the last two seasons, Dodson never trailed in his match today. Both golfers left immediately for California, where they will compete next week in the $5,000 Los Angeles open. Earl Christiansen, hard-hitting Miami policeman, scored a below-par 69 to win a three-way playoff for the top amateur award. Bob Servis of Dayton, Ohio, shot a 72 and Charles Mayo, of New York a 73. MY, SUCH STATIC! Spelling Bee Between Boxers And Wrestlers To Be Aired.

New York, December 30 (AP) The spelling bee of this or any other century you care to mention is going to be sprayed over the nation's airways on the night of January 15 from Madame Bey's little red school house near Summit, New Jersey. The principals, respectfully, will be five boxers of no specified weight and an equal number of wrestlers, and they're going to spell it out to a finish while the country listens. This harrowing exhibition of mental gymnastics is regarded in the nature of a showdown between two sterling groups of athletes. Mushky Jackson, known far and wide as a man who can give the English language a. licking on any occasion, has been chosen captain and inspirational leader of the boxers.

He's picking his team now wit considerable care and intends to put them through a thorough course of training on words as high as three syllables. Tentatively selected already are Tcmmy Fair, Henry Armstrong, Nathan Mann, and Frankie Blair. Every last one of them, Mushky ha3 assured the broadcasting folks, possesses at least a swell high school education. "They'll surprise these wise-guy rasslers, too," commented Professor Jackson. "As a regular thing they might not be such tough spellers, but they're gonna get two flugs for every word they get spelled correct on this card and that'll make 'em tough.

I know fighters. "THUMBS" RIDE TO JAIL Man Gets "Lift" From Policeman, Is Held For Quiz. A man who "thumbed" a ride with Patrolman Frank Vogt early yesterday at Reading Road and Oberlin Boulevard was taken to jail by the officer for investigation in connection with burglaries at the Maketewah Country Club and Dan Teehan's cafe, 1228 California avenue. Vogt said the "hitchhiker" had several decks of cards on him, which Vogt believes were stolen from the country club. A solarium window was forced open.

Teehan is checking to determine what was taken from his place. Benjamin Pilder, 3968 Eastern Avenue, yesterday reported $3 was taken from the cash register at his store. A marble game was stolen from the cafe of Louis Sheanshang, 1000 East Third Street. Burglars took pipes, cigars, and tobaccos worth $7.60 from the store of William Esterkamp, 3829 Spring Grove Avenue. Officials of the Universal Car Loading Company, 737 West Third Street, reported the theft of eight cases of Scotch whisky valued at $216 from a freight car near their plant yesterday.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. "pro-Japanese," was shot down as he waited for his automobile in front of his palatial French Concession home. It was the third outbreak of violence in as many days. Two Japanese launches were targets for bomb throwers in the British defense area in Soochow Creek, and more than 20 Chinese suspects were arrested. Loh was a prominent Catholic and General Manager of the Chinese Electric Power Company.

He was one of the richest men in China and had been associated with foreign and Japanese efforts to restore' normalcy in the war-torn city. Japanese issued veiled warnings' after the bombing of the military launches that Shanghai police had "forfeited" their rights to police areas from which they withdrew during hostilities. There was even graver fear that, in the light of terroristic activities, the Japanese might seize upon the assassination as an excuse to dominate even greater areas. It was not known whether the terrorists are Chiang Kai-Shek's hard-bitten "blue gowns" Chinese Fascists who remained in the city after the army had fled, to carry on undercover warfare against the Japanese, or whether thoy were other groups of anti-Japanese agents. Tsingtao was a mass of flames and ruins today as retreating Chinese dynamited the city, the roar of explosions echoing the rumble of cannon in the northwest hills where three Japanese columns pushed relentlessly forward on a mission of revenge.

Scattered Chinese forces were fighting along a broken fifty-mile front in a desperate battle to break through the fan-like Japanese advance and escape along the sea-coast to the south. Several hundred foreigners, in-cludig 150 Americans, remained in the city, but were making preparations to evacuate on a moment's notice if the fighting is pushed back into the city itself. POPULACE OUT OF DANGER. Although destruction by Chinese dynamiters, carrying out their "scorched earth" plan of fighting, has been tremendous, there has been no real danger to the populace thus far. Twenty explosions reverberated in staccato succession during the night, arousing residents after a tense quiet.

Chinese agents, acting on instructions from the central government at Hankow, were understood to have carried out the dynamiting. The groat electric substation plant, carrying a major part of the power load, was put out of commission, and it was feared the main plant would be blown up, plunging the city in Two American Warships the light cruiser Marblehead and the destroyer Pope remained in harbor, ready to take off Americans If an emergency should arise. The Japanese were reported to have virtually surrounded approaches to the city on the north, and west, apparently leaving only a thin corridor along the coast where Chinese might escape. Britain Mum On Jap Note Explaining Shelling Of Ship London, December 30 (AP) The British Government today made public without a word of comment Jiipan's note explaining Japanese attacks on British naval and merchant ships on the Yangtze River. Diplomats saw in this cold silence evidence of Britain's dissatisfaction.

The note was delivered yesterday. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden was expected to reply before leaving for League of Nations sessions at Geneva next week. Informed persons believed Britain would follow the United States' example in the sinking of the gunboat Panay by replying in such a way as to accept Japan's apologies, pledges of indemnity, and assui-ances against recurrences, thus closing the incident, but making clear that Japan's version of events was not accepted. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Eden interrupted year-end vacations to confer on Japan's note. These two had been empowered by the cabinet to take any action necessary to protect British interests in the Far East.

Primarily they were called on to decide whether Japan's promises were suf fieient guaranties against future harm to British vessels. Foreign Minister Koki Hirola, who signed the note, said the assurances applied to British merchant ships as well as naval craft. Japan's note dealt with the shell ing of the British gunboat Ladybird and other ships near Wuhu December 12, when one British seaman was killed and two were wounded. It repeated the Japanese contention the attack was "unintentional" and was made before it was known the ships were British. "As soon as the two Japanese naval bombing squadrons and the military unit discovered the vessels were British they ceased firing and the Japanese military unit afforded asistsance," the explanation said.

It stated visibility was poor. The note said that to avoid repetition of such incidents the government "had dealt properly and according to law with the commanding and other military officers concerned on the ground that they failed to take full precautions." At the Foreign Office it was understood further action on the note might be delayed in the hope of obtaining more specific information as to what disciplinary action had been taken.

Indianian Is Outstanding Athlete Of Western Conference. Chicago, December 30 (AP) The Big Ten's "outstanding athlete" title for 1937 belongs to Donald R. Lash, Indiana's smasher of distance running records by as far as some of the bigger margins he established in cinderpath triumphs. The light-footed Hoosier who ran a world record 8:58 two miles at Boston last February, dominated Big Ten mile and two mile fields outdoors for three years, along with supplying a full share of thrills for Drake and Pennsylvania relay crowds, galloped off with the sixth annual Associated Press poll of coaches and sports writers, by a score of 67 points to 37 for a fellow Hoosier, Fullback Corby Davis. John (Jake) Townsend, an Indianapolis boy who operates for Michigan in basketball and track, was third with 19 points.

Lash, whose career on the tracks was interrupted shortly after hi3 graduation from Indiana last June by an appendectomy, was the first choice of 17 of the 41 voters.
