CLASSIC MILE TO

Ray Conger; Leo Lermond
and Dr. Paul Martin to
Race in New York.
v Bv Foster Hat ley
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
. NEW YORK W) Three of the most
colorful runners competing on Amer
ican tracks this winter will face
Johnny McHugh and his starting
pistol. In Madison Square Garden
February. 7 in the classic Rodman
Wanamaker mile, , ,
"Ladees and gentlemen, In lane
one Ray Conger, America's premier
miler," the announcer for the Mill
rose A. A. games will bellow,
A light-haired, skinny looking chap,
tho Illinois A, C, circle on his ohest,
will take a- few steps down the track
and quickly fado back Into the crowd
at the starting lino.
"in; lane two, Leo Lermond, Bos
ton's great mller."
.Smiling Leo, built on lines as trim
an a ciesiroyor, win run cockily down
the track and back again.' One rath
er expects to see Leo clasp his hands
above his head as a boxer does to
answer the plaudits of the crowd.
He's that kind of a fighting runner.
"And In lano three," the an
nouncer will call, "Dr. Paul Martin,
European champe-c-con."
A slight, boyish looking little
fellow, with yellow hair nonchalant
ly will trot down the track and
back again.
Retiring Conger, confident Leo,
nonchalant Martin. As diverse in
style and temperament as their
names. Conger always laying back
in a- roce, ready to checkmnto the
other fellow's move, but slow to set
the pace himself; Leo. always ready
and anxious to battle It out for the
lead; Mnrtln, the Swiss sugreon,
with the Jerky little stride, running
his own race, pacing himself on his
best effort. .

MAX BAER AND
LOUGH RAN TO
MEET TONIGHT
NEW YORK, Fob. fl (A1) Max Baer
and Tommy Lough ran, who arc
matched In a ten round bout In
Madison Square Garden ' tonight,
have at least ono thing. In common
they've both been beaten by Ernie
Schaaf of Boston, .
Loughran, after -he retired a light
heavyweight champion, and Joined
tho heavyweights, dropped two de
cisions to Schaaf. Baer, after a sen
sational career in tho far west, made
his eastern debut a few weeks ago
against Schaaf' and was outpointed.
.Few boxers ever . came east more'
highly touted than Baer and ithe
Cillfornian has not shown much to
Justify the ballyhoo. He looked ag
gressive enough against Schaaf but
he did not appear to advantage In his
knockout victory- over old Tom Hee
uey. Heeney was giving the young
ster a fine beating when he was
shoved out of the ring In the third i
rouna ana counted out wnen tne of
ficials got their mathematics all
tangled up.
On the basis of Baer s showing In
his first two New York bouts, Lough
ran looks like the logical favorite to
win despite the fact that overnight
lie fas on the short end of 7 to 6
odds.

Triple Threat
Man Valuable
In Two Sports
LAWRENCE, Kan. ifP) Knute
Rockno, the Argonaut of American
football, remarks In hlB characteristic
Jocular vein, "there are two games
I don't like basketball is both of
them."
This Is another way of saying that
there Is too little or mimic warfare
In the indoor game. That, In short,
the Bport hasn't enough of contact
and combat; of dumping the inter
ference; of throwing a runner with
a clean tackle; of gathering in a
punt In proper style and of power
plays, the football coach's delight.
However, there are many coaches
who contend that tho sports are tak
ing on a resemblance that football
has become "basketballtzed" and that
hfiKkathnll hnn hurnmA "frtnthnlllonrt "
The triple- threat man In football
j ono who con run, kick dud pass,
has his counterpart on the basket-
bait courts In the man who shoots,
dribbles and passes. Hyatt of Pitts
burgh and Thompson of Montana
were two great examples last season
of the basketball triple throat man.
A basketball coach Is employed by
many gridiron mentors as an assist
ant to teach his gladiators the funda
mcntals of pivoting, passing and ball
handling.
i The pivoting In both games is iden
tical. Passing lu each has the same
technlctue. Ball handling In basket
ball, however, Is much more difficult,
due of course, to the restriction
against running with the bayy.
The clever passer in basketball
proves himself a very useful man to
have around a football field if he
has a football mako-up; that Is, a
well knit body.
Tho- better passors in both games,
I have found, never focus on any
ono man. Indeed, a lack of focus is
a great help when a receiver is sought.
The 'far away staro" la a passer's
eye greatly widens the field of his
vision. The passer must employ a
technique not unlike that of a Jug
gler who handles many objects at
ono tlmo. To ccntor on any object
renders tho passer less able to con
trol the whole situation.
Players and officials, I have found,
frequently clash in friendly Jest
much to tho amusement of the crowd.
1 recall a particularly amusing ex
ample that occurred prior to the
World war.
