Stribling, who was turned back by Bchmellng last July In Cleveland, knew as did everyone else that a de cisive victory wo paramount. He was hitting the comeback trail and realized he couldn't afford another setback. Keenly aware o mieir situations, ; both fighters were out to win by knockout systems and nothing else. Because of his greater experience, ring generalship and his reputation In Chicago rings, where he has never lost a decision, Btnbllng was rankeo as a slight favorite. Schaaf, however, was expected to have two big advan tage about 10 more pounds In weight, and the Infectious confidence built up by his great knockout sweep through the heavyweight ranks.

This Game of Golf ; By O, R. Keeler Education of young children in golf, saya, Albert R. Gates, business administrator for the Professional Golfers 1tsoc1nUoTV'fs one of the most important and rapidly growing phases o instruction in the game. He goes into a rather detailed and decidedly Interesting explanation In a recent) announcement. "Golf -is an acquired game," Mr. On, tea says, voicing an Important truth. , There is no such thing as a great natural golfer that Is, a golfer w.ho attain the first rank without either capable instruction or the change at first class emula tion. ."Bobby Jones and Alexa Stirling Frascr and young Billy Howell come readily to .mind as striking exam ples of what it means to a youngster with an Inherent ability for golf to como early under either suitable Instruction or example," he says. "Parents Interested in golf arc coming more and more to realize the fact that It Is In childhood, pref erably In early childhood, that tho foundation for a sound and expert game Is laid. professional, has established the cus- t torn of giving free lessons to pupils of New Trier blgb school, Wllmette, HI., where,. by the way. golf instruc-' tlon counts as a physical education credit. t The young Idea, then. Is learning ; how to shoot properly. And it Is hist as well for every golf-minded parent to understand that golf is a ' highly artificial game, and that there j are no "natural" goiters. j Sport Slants Natural Imitators . "Golf professionals everywhere are going, in more and more for the Instruction of crtfdfen admittedly the best and moot responsive pu pils. .... , "Most children naturally are imi tative In a high degree and find little difficulty in duplicating with nn almost startling exactness the Instructor's methods. "Their muscles, as well as their minds. In the plastic and formative state, respond freely, and under competent instruction they attain tho foundation of a correct and useful swing far more readily and thoroughly than their elders." . , Mr. Gates point out that many members of the P. G. A. now arc building excellent reputations as in structors of children, and their lit tle pupils of a few years ago are adding to the fame of their teach ers. George. Jacobus Is an example which readily comes to mind. You may ,not have heard much about George as a tournament competi tor but pupils of George's have won tho New Jersey Junior cham pionships the lost four yenrs. Sev eral of them, representing the Rldgewood Country club, appar ently are on the verge of more ad vanced honors. , Golf Excursions One of George's pet Ideas Is a weekly "golf holiday." on which, he takes as many of his small pupils as can go to some adjacent course, to let them try their skill on a strange layout. This of ltnclf Is a long step In the preparation of a golf competi tor. I have seen many a boy and girl grow up playing a very good game on the old home course, only to look like a third -rater in com petition at some other club. Olln uutra. the big Brentwood pro fcelonat In California, has a num ber of extremely promising pupils; and Fred Canausa, professional at Wcat Point, has a Juvenile class composed of children of officers sta tioned nt the military academy. At the Kildeer club, near Chi cago. George Arnold has several young pupils breaking 80 consist ently. Jock Anderson, Techny Fields i By Alan J. Gould (Ascoclated Press Sports Editor Following the unquestionably bril-! llant. in fact, astounding perform-' ances of a number of Uncle Sam's ' better Olympic prospects on the east- ' cm boards, it Is not surprising to find the more hysterical branches of the sporting press headlining as ; follows: j "Venzke Cinch To Cop Olympic1 Mile." Of course there isn't any Olym-' ptc mile, so far as the technical sido of the matter is concerned, the Olympic equivalent being 1500 met- I ere. or about 110 yards short of a' mile. Moreover, whirlwind thougb he has proved himself at the distance, Venzke will be anything but & "cinch" to regain middle distance honors for -the- United- States, f or several- reasons."'" i ' Every American traclc and field "bug" will be rooting for Gene to pick up for the V.

I Latiii Lchtlnen, one of these Finns, j has been as big a sensation In Hel-; alngfljra wi,hln , the past year as Venzke .has become In New York. Vlrtanen may be equally as good and Harry Larva, the 1500 meter winner in 1928 over Ladoumegue, will defend the title. Every great American mller In tho past 20 years has found the Olympic 1500 tho toughest kind of a hurdle. To make that clear it is Lonly necessary to recall the sad e von is oi iwiit as oiocKnoun. xne IS. S. A that year had the greatest four mllers It ever entered in this event John Paul Jones, . Norman Taber, Abel Kivlat and Sheppard, the 1908 winner. They were the class of the uni verse, supposedly, at the distance. Jones and Taber set world records for the mile while still collegians. But a long, lanky Englishman named Arnold Strode -Jackson gal loped down the Olympics stretch to beat all the Americans Kivlat was second and Taber third. They were too busy watching each other to pay any attention to Jackson until It was too late. Since then American over-confidence has been so rudely Jolted that the same mistake will not likely bo made again. Yet) It Is for tho reasons furnished by precedent and facts that no attempt now should be mode to crown Venzke with the Olympic laurel or beat the tom-toms in advance. Nurml Still K tiles Venzke, a handsome, cool youth of 23. is wett equipped to take care of himself and go on to make fur ther mile-racing history. Ho looks to have every qualifi cation for doing tho classic dis tance in 4:06. a mark that the cele brated Nurml considered easily within reach when he was at his prime. Venzke, however. Is not yet an other Nurml. The Finn never specialized In the mile, although I believe he could do the distance foster than Venzke or any living man. . His achievements, as yet un finished, have no parallel when you figure that Paavo still holds world outdoor records from one to ten miles, that . ho Is the only runner ever to beat 9 minutes for two miles (1925 and 1931) and that he probably will wind up his career by being .a victor in four successive Olvmplads. They will still be trying to tie that when you and I ore very old. The LA VEND AR LUNCH Depot St. TURKEY OR CHICKEN DINNER , Sunday -35c Includes Potatoes, Dressing, Bread, Vegetable, . Afj ' .
