The red and black didn't look nearly so good in .this game as It did against Roosevelt high of Portland last week, even taking Into account Dallas' stubborn op position. The local players with the exception of Bob Kelly were consistently wild in shooting, and repeatedly failed to get rid of the ball until they had taken too .many steps. Half a dozen clean shots went for naught because of traveling" Just before they were made. Dallas Has Fight The Dallas players were fast in dividually, a fact which showed up principally on ' defense; but they wasted too much time getting down the floor, allowing the Sa lem defense to form before they reached scoring position; and they "were too small to break through;. However, they proved extremely 'accurate on long shots, and kept trying; in spite of the odds The Salem team showed conclu sively in this game what had been suspected previously, that its members are inclined to suffer from "buck fever" early in the game. Easy shots were missed re peatedly until Bob Kelly, who ap parently was immune to this dis ease, sank a long one. The score at half time wu.lt to 8 for Sa lem, and in the second half the visitors came nearer holding their own than in the first two quarters. Height Is Utilized Aside from Kelly's long shots, Salem's most effective method of scoring was the aforementioned "Beech-tree" effect in which Beechler camped near the free throw line, received a high pass and shot, with no opponent tall enough to reach up and guard him. ' KUever, LeFors and Vaughn all made spectacular long shots to pile up the visitors' 18 points, one of the largest scores made against Salem high on its own floor in several years.

RACING CALENDAR B K GOT HS NEW 1 YORK, J an. 9.

The decision brings victory - to automobile manufacturers most of whom have been crowded from the motor racing limelight. "The builders, in the opinion of Captain Eddie RJckenbacker, chairman of the A, A.

(AP) Tex Rickard was buried today after funeral services in a crepe draped Madison Square Oardenhe leaves behind as a monument to his vision. After brief and simple services, which were in marked contrast to the spectacular things in which the sports promoter dealt in life, his body was interred In a cemetery where a wife and child rest. A crowd of 10.000 sat in awed silence in the seats whose occu pants in other days and nights have alternately cheered or hurled jeers and boos at referees and athletes. The hash was profound as an organ played, a quartet sang and two clergymen and two laymen paid tribute to Rickard. "A man without meanness In his heart. Many Sports Represented Every branch of sport was rep resented in the throng and many who had no connection with ath letics Joined. The man tor whom the last rites were being said had aided scores of charities and rep resentatives of these bodies were there to add their tribute. Available ' seats in the huge Garden were filled when the doors were closed at 1:30 o'clock after thousands had passed In double lines past the bier in a seemingly endless procession. Many, after passing the palm covered and flower banked resting place of the casket on the lower floor, went to the seats on the Mezzanine set aside for the public and awaited the funeral hour 2 o'clock. Draped In black and purple mourn ing, the Garden awaited tne nnai Dassare from it of its builder, There was no scraping of chairs. little craning of necks and vir tually no exchange of whispers as an organ. Installed for the funeral, boomed forth the stately notes of "Lead. Kindly Light." "Friends" In Section One thousand seats were set aside on the main floor for "friends." This space was dotted with boxers friends Indeed of the man they were honoring. Dbscure preliminary fighters to nen who have reached the heights Df fame or stand on the threshold they sat in sol men ; dignity, one here with a discolored eye and an other there with a cut Up. All were thinking, perhaps, as a pro motor who had come 1.000 miles o attend the funeral said: "Those boys have lost their best friend." As the organ continued to play l requiem, the honorary pallbear ers, two score In number, entered. This group Included the Madison Sqnsre Garden Corporation direc tors. Men who loom big In the affairs of business, well-known figures in boxing, i hockey, the stage -and sports jrriters. Baptist Pastor Gives Service The Rev. Dr. George Cales Moor, pastor of the Madison Ave nue Baptist church, started the service. j "Taps" i sounded 1 and a band played Chopin's Funeral March as the great crowd stood with bowed heads. The persons Inside the Garden remained until the -body was re moved, but another great crowd lined Fiftieth street all the way to Fifth Avenue, as the SO auto mobiles in the funeral procession moved up the avenue the streets were lined with other crowds. ; At the cemetery the casket was opened again and members of the Garden staff looked at their for mer chief for the last time. Mrs Rickard was escorted by Jack Dempsey and Walter Fields to $ive a final caress and the casket was lowered into the earth. Young Stribling Knocks Out Stone Continuous Presence of "Fly ing Finn" in U. S. Irks C. L. Ornstein NEW YORK, Jan. 9. (AP) Describing as "unfair to our Amer ican athletes" the plan of Paavo Nurml to remain indefinitely in this country, training for the 19S2 Olympics, Charles L. Ornstein of Washington. D. C, a member of the board of governors of the am ateur athletic union, today chal lenged the right of the Metropol itan A. A. IT., to register the fa mous Finnish runner without au thorlty from the national body. Ornstein, In a telegram to Dan iel J. Ferris, national secretary questioned the policy as well as the authority of local officials In registering Nurml under the same conditions as an American ath lete. Ferris explained that under In ternational athletic law, athletes resident for a month or more in a foreign country automatically come under the jurisdiction of the national governing body of that country. He asserted the registra tlon of Nurml was referred to the Metropolitan A. A. U.. because Nurml now resides in New York and is subject, therefore, to local Jurisdiction. Ferris said he con sidered proper action had been taken and would notify Ornstein to this effect. By VICTOR O. 8 IDLER Associated Press Sports Writer LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.
