Rainbows Growing
At Diamond Lake
Excellent growth hat been
shown by the Canadian rainbow
trout planted at Diamond Lake
last June, according to an item in
the January issue of the Ori'Kun
Slate Game Commission Bulletin.
The fish were planted following re
habilitation of the lake in the fall
of 1954.
According to the report, at the
time of the planting, the fish av
eraged 4.9 inches, whereas a gill
net collection in November caught
fish averaged 10.8 inches.
Diamond Lake is also making a
rapid recovery in fish food produc
tivity. A recent bottom sampling at
the lake showed an increase from
2.6 pounds of food per acre in 1954
to 92.8 pounds per acre in 1955.
Although the present volume of
fish food organisms has risen in
volume, it is still considerably be
low the 292 pounds per acre found
by the initial survey in 1946.
'Boston Tar Baby7
Called By Death
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. on Sam
Langford, 72, who gained fame in
boxing circles as the "Boston Tar
Baby", died at a nursing home
Thursday three months after he
gained a spot in boxing's Hail of
Fame.
Langford had fought 642 bouts
from 1902 through 1923. A year
after his final bout, he went blind
and might have spent his old a Re
in obscurity if it weren't for the
kindness of boxing fans.
A few years ago. Al Laney a
sports writer for the New York
Herald Tribune, found the desti
tute Langford living in a cold room
in New York's Harlem.
Laney immediately began a
drive for funds, which reportedly
reached $1.0,892. Langford's only
source of income in recent years
was the trust fund set up from the
contributions.
Although Langford's heaviest
fighting weight was 1624 pounds
and he stood only $ feet, 64 inches,
he took on many heavyweights dur
ing his long career.
Many ring experts considered
him the greatest fighter, pound-for-pound,
in the history of profes
sional boxing.

Coaches Must Solve
Grid 'Sucker Shift
LONG BEACH, Calif. As
far as the Football Rules Commit
tee of the NCAA is concerned, it
is up to the coaches of the country
to solve the false start or so-called
"sucker shift.' '
The false start is a move by
one team to draw another team
offside and gain a 5-yard penalty.
Earlier this week in Los An
geles the American Football Coach
es Assn. voted to let its committee
on ethics deal with the culprits.
So the governing NCAA rule
makers in session here decided
Thursday to let it go at that, and
chairman H. O. (Fritz) Cnsler of
the University of Michigan, de
clared the coaches are to be com
mended and his committee "sup
ports them enthusiastically."
It also is being talked that
Frankie will come up soon with

Players who could be reached
were enthusiastic about Albert as
their coach.
Dickie Moegle, getting ready for

said "Frankie is a fine person. . .
I expect a big improvement in
team morale and 1 think we'll
snap back to our old time form."
Dillard Due Home

Dillard, with an eye toward a third
Olympic appearance, comes

launches the indoor banked-board
track season at Boston Garden.
Dillard, Sullivan Sward winner
as the oustandmg amateur athlete
of 1955, has swept through 17 in

defeat in the 45-yard high hurdles.
Including heats, he's won 51 sep

He tied the Olympic record for
the 100-meter spring : 10.3 in 1948
and the 110-meter hurdles : 13.7

Chicago Cufcs Sign
Old Foe Russ Meyer
CHICAGO W It's a cinch the
Chicago Cubs in 1956 won't lose
any more games to their old tor
mentor, pitcher Russ Meyer.
And that's about the only sure
thing the sixth - place National
League finishers of last season
can say.
They have eliminated the pos
sibility of losing to .Meyer by the
simple process of obtaining him
from the Brooklyn Dodgers. Seven
years ago the tubs traded the Al-year-old
righthander only to have
him wreak vengeance by beating
them 24 times.
Now the lanky hurler from Peru,
111., is back in Cub uniform. He
agreed to contract terms Thurs
day. Meyer won only six games for
the Dodgers last' year, but three
of them were over the Cubs. His
presence is bound to make for
some improvement in the club as
; forecast at a news conference by
! manager Stan Hack,
j Hack said that the Cubs might
