Mel Flake Outplays Lewis;
- Missed Free Throws
Factor In Result
Ororon state'i sturdy eagemen
lad their backs to the wall Wed-
iiimmUv nis-ht and were forced to
claw their way out whea they met
Price's Florshelms at tne armory.
That they were able to do it was
lurrelv due to Florshelms' Inabil
ity to capitalize on the many free
throw opportunities they acquired
in the clawing process, uregon
State won 35 to 32.
Dwlght Adams and Bob Drager
were "hot" and Mel Fiaice sprang
aitrarlse hv clearly outplaying
the Taunted Ed Lewis, and these
factors along with some air-tight
riofnlTA work rave the nor
shelms a 22 to 16 lead at half
time. Coach "Slats" Gill of the
Staters kept looking for ah oppor
tunity to use his reserves but it
never came.
ThAn lit the onenine of the sec
ond half Gill's sharpshooters, Pa
gans and Thomas, witn some neip
from Lenchitxky began finding
the hoop and Jumped into the lead
before Florshelms scored again
TProm then on it was nln and tuek,
with the Florsheims at one mo-
mnt sir noints behind but rorg
ing ahead rapidly at the close. The
Staters were forced to aaopi a ae
livoi nrrpnsA to conserve their
ldrindltnr lead.
Art a ma several times dribbled
his way in all alone and scored.
while Draper looped several gooa
ones from the vicinity of the foul
line. Flake was pretty busy witn
hi nrivate war with Lewis in
which he came out a good winner,
but found time to cage the ball
three times. Marr was closely
ruarded and got few shots, but
played a helpful floor game.

HOSPITAL
NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (AP)
William Muldoon, 86 year old
"solid man" of boxing was in a
hospital tonight for probably the
first time in his life as a patient,
suffering from an unannounced
ailment.
Dr. Joseph C. McCarthy said he
and other surgeons were making
a careful study of Muldoon's con
dition and it was incorrect either
to say that the veteran was in ser
ious condition or was not in ser
ious condition. He declined to re
veal the preliminary diagnosis.
Muldoon's nurse reported her
patient was sitting up, cheerful
and "very comfortable."
Until three years ago Muldoon,
for the last 30 years the owner
and manager of a health institute
and since 1921 a member of the
New York state athletic commis
sion, never knew what it was to
be ill. Then he contracted nenri
tis In one shoulder. While still
suffering from that he fell: 15
feet down a stairway on the rail
way station at White Plains, N. Y
He celebrated his 83rd birthday
that year, May 25, 1928, in bed
for the first time in his life.
Muldoon has been Graeco-Ro
man wrestling champion of the
world. New York policeman
Shakespearean actor, trainer of
John L. Sullivan for a time and
boxing writer.

THE tendency of National
Leagve baseball for 1932 will

fielders and outfielders along with
seasoned and caeey battery vet
erans. The new ball, which ap
parently did much to enhance the
popularity of the older circuit
during 1931, is forcing managers'
hands. Men who can "lay them
down" and "run tbem out" will be
given the preference over the
sluggers. Home runs will not be
scoffed at when a team is trailing,
but by and large the teams of the
Heydler loop will manufacture
their runs scientifically.
The first roan up in an inning
will be schooled to "wait 'em out
if you see a good one, belt it."
The second man will know bis
job the sacrifice; if more than
one run is needed, the hit-and-run.
Every man on every team will
be required to brash up on the fine
art of sliding, and at a sienal from
the coaching lines be ready to take
it on tne lam.

Eauip. tince-uitiers win come into
their own, and batters will learn
that there is as much percentage
in dumping the apple on the
greensward just behind the infield
as there used to be in a leather
attack on the scoreboard clock.
Natural sluggers will ret some
opportunities to display their spe
cialty, but unless baseball ap
petites among the fandom change
radically first-team berths will go
to 1931 Willie Keelers, Ty Cobbs
and George Sislers.
The man chiefly responsible for
all this, in the first instance, is
Ben Chapman, otherwise known as
"The Birmingham Breeze." He
stole about three score bases in
the regular season. Yankees man
ager Joe McCarthy deserves some
of the credit. He encouraged
Chapman to do it
Then, in the World Series, a
young chap named John "Pepper"
Martin came out of -nowhere and
went places on the sacks so often
that he completely demoralized the
previously invincible Philadelphia
Athletics. He did some batting,
too, which will be remembered for
some years, but his stickwork did
not carry the poison of his base
pilfering. He upset Mkkey Coch
rane, Connie Mack's catcher, and
the rest of the A's: he horn-
swoggled them defensively so that
uiey became powerless offensively.
Consequently, Bill Hallahan and
Burleigh Grimes, two twirlers who
know how to play the revamped
game, were able to mow down
Simmons, Cochrane, Foxz and Co.,
without much ado.

NEW YORK, Dee, 24 (Thurs
day) (AP) The big contract
bridge match, adjourned early to
day over Christmas with Ely Cul-
bertson and partner 14.S3S points
ahead of Sidney S. Lens and Os
wald Jacoby in a 150-rubber
match testing rival systems.
In the twelfth session Culbert-
son and Theodore A. Llghtner
won six of eight rubbers, set the
; enemy tor 1400 points once and
added 3.820 points to their plus.
The rubber standing of the ser
ies became 48 for Culbertson's
side and 38 for Lens and Jacoby.
This was the first session at
the Waldorf-Astoria, where Lens
is host for the last half of the
match. Things started auspicious
ly for the host. He won the first
rubber. Then the Culbertson lead
grew gradually till it became
larger than ever before and about
twice the lead of the greatest
! plus Lenz ever had in the early
! stages of the match.
Lenz Goes Down
1400, One Rubber
Lens went down 1,400 points
on the rubber involving the big
gest swing of the session. He was
set four vulnerable on a contract
for one heart. Culbertson and
Llghtner had more sets in the
session but nonaged to escape
with minor k'jes no-vulnerable.
Jacoby held up his own record
to refute what he said was a ru
mor he was "making all the bad
bids."
He pointed out that during the
series he had made five doubled
contracts and had only one set of
BOO that was not justified. Two
other sets of 600. he said, were
tak&p to save slams.
"And," be added, "I've - made
more sporting bids than all the
other people of the match put to
gether."
In two game contracts doubled
by Jacoby was successful at the
twelfth session.
Over Emphasis"
Objection Passed
Lenz said:
"It seems to me there Is entire
ly too much running out to write
pieces for the paper. It's taking
the game too seriously. After all
it s just a game of cards. It would
be more fun If Ely would sit down
and play."
Jacoby said:
"They definitely had unbeat
able cards. We had only two good
hands in the entire session. They
had several including the slam. It
must be borne in mind though,
that their hands were more diffi
cult to handle. You can't make
mistakes if yu have no hands to
bid."
Culbertson commented:
"Mr. Jacoby bid and played
perfectly so did Mr. Lenz except
in one bid where he took a ride
for 1,400 points. Maybe it was his
Christmas present to me."

NEW YORK, Dec 13 (AP)
John P. "Chick" Meehan, who
stepped oat of "big league, high
pressure" football at New York
university and turned toward col
leges where the -game Is played
on a saner level, has found the
place he was seeking.
Manhattan college, with a stu
dent body of only 1,000 and no
desire for more, no "ballyhoolng
ambitions," no thoughts of build
ing an eleven to command the at
tention of the nation, announced
today that Meehan, president of
the Football Coaches' association,
had accepted the post there as
director of physical education and
coach of football.
He succeeds John Law, great
Notre Dame guard, who resigned
a few days ago. Meehan resigned
at N. Y. U. afte: seven years of
coaching In which he raised the
Violets from obscurity to a place
among the leading elevens of the
country.
He retired in the midst of an
agitation for de-emphasis follow
ing an editorial in the student
publication demanding that his
contract not be renewed.
Along with Meehan's resigna
tion came a university announce
ment of a policy of de-emphaslza-tion.
At the same time "Chick"
told the Associated Press he
would never again coach college
football on a big time basis.
"I'm through with big gates.
high pressure, terrific schedules,"
he said then. "I'm sick and tired
of driving boys, whipping them
into frenzies with everything but
lashee, seeing them crack from
nothing but exhaustion. That's
not football, the game. I'll never
be a party to that again.
"I never expected to coach
again," Meehan said today, ."but
they read that story at Manhat
tan and they asked me to come
there and do just that We'll play
the same teams we've always
played and have three games that
are 'big' for us each season.
"We'll have an extensive intra
mural system with emphasis on
the boys playing for the fun of
it Of course well play to win. I
could never coach a team to ao
otherwise. But If we lose, there'll
be no weeping and walling."
Meehan, with a prosperous con
tracting business, said his salary
would be "modest" and coaching
his avocation. -

Broken Basket Necessitates
Termination After Third
Period; Score 17-11
Salem high school's basketeers
scored their first victory over
the alumni in several years. Wed
nesday night when they defeated
the old grads 17 to 11 in a game
which seemed exceedingly alow
for a number of reasons.
In the first place, fouls were
numerous. Ana then wen, they
couldn't lose the baTL catastrophe
which has broken up numerous
sandlot baseball games, but they
did break one of the baskets, and
it seemed hours before a janitor
could be obtained to remedy the
difficulty.
As a result of this delay and
the additional events of homecom
ing yet to occur, the game was
called at the close of the third
quarter.
The high school quintet got a
comfortable lead at the opening
of the contest and the alumni
came back after that and cut it
down, but were six points shy
when the game was called off.
Sanford and Bone took lead
ing roles In scoring for the high
school, with Siegmund the lead
ing performer for the old grads.

It was a great kick to see our
home boys, the Florshelms, step
on the heels of a renowned college
basketball team (figuratively
speaking, of courBe, it would be a
foul to do it literally) in the game
at the armory here Wednesday
night.
Bat the big kick was hearing
little Joe Mack, who catches for
the Oregon State baseball team,
poke his five feet four-or so op
over the press table and report
"Mack going in for Lewis." Just
then the half ended and Mack
didn't get to do It.

HART PUT ON SPOT
BY WOMAN. STATED
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23 (AP)
Investigation of the killing of
Marvin Hart, police character and
liquor runner, turned into chan
nels of women and arguments
over liquor "pay-offs" today.
Police, guarding the names of
witnesses, said they learned that
shortly before Hart entered the
driveway of his home last night,
where two men pumped bullets
into his body, a bejeweled woman
sitting at the wheel of a coupe
started the motor of her automo
bile and drove away rapidly. A
moment later Hart screamed as
the bullets struck him.
The assumption of authorities
was that the killers did not know
Hart and that the woman had
been posted as a look-out, the
signal that the victim had arrived
being the departure of her auto
mobile.
Information also was obtained
that a short time ago. Hart and
a brother. Lee. engaged In a fist
fight in a Hollywood hotel during
a meeting with Fran He Foster,
alleged gunman, and "Doc Schu-
weller,. aa alleged gangster, over
a ' pay-oir' on liquor sola by the
Harts. Foster was arrested dur
ing the morning but released and
a hunt was started for Ralph
Sheldon, former Chicago gang
ster, who. had been Involved In a
number of alleged gang plots here
recently.
