NEIL NEW YORK, Dec. 21 (AP) Due to what was formally de scribed as "disagreement with certain policies of the president," Colonel John S. Hammond, one of, the last survivors of the' Tex Rlckard regime, resigned today as vice president of Madison Square Garden and president of the New York Rangers Hockey team. William F. Carey, president of the garden, announced Lester Pa trick, manager of the Rangers since their organixation by Ham mond in 1926, would expand his activities to take in the duties of president of the Rangers and vice president of the Garden corporation. Reports were current that ev en more drastic changes In the personnel of the garden manage ment were impending, following a story published today that Garden corporation officials 'were negotiating a settlement with bureau of internal revenue agents for ticket tax returns not filed from 1926 to 1932. The retirement of Hammond brought to a close relationship with garden affairs that began through Tex Rickard even before the present $7,000,000 sports palace was completed in 1925. Hammond, graduate of West Point and an army officer, met Rickard in South America and Joined him in completing finan cial arrangements for building the garden. In 1925, when the New York Americans Introduced big league professional hockey to New York, Hammond became president of the club. The next season he organized the Rangers with both teams in the national professional league. Following Rickard's death in 1929, Hammond for a time be came general manager of the garden, but was replaced by Frank- Bruen when Carey was elected president. .V X Jack C rickard, Harvard grid ace, recently mentioned bj the All America Football Board for his sterling work during the pant sea son, is shown at his job in the Har vard Varsity Club, where he is working- his way through college.

Announcement of his retention at the Catholic college was made by Brother Anselm, athletic di rector. Meehan had been men tioned as a possible successor of Major Frank L. Cavanaugh at Fordham.

In a pre ' Uminary game between the sec ond teams, Molalla van, 20-2. - IT is a matter of dispute as to just which is the toughest and most punishing game on the sport calendar, but at least this much is certain: Football, boxing and ice hockey must be included in any list of the most gruelling sports. Nowadays fight fans complain about safety-first fighters and "tap ping matches," and yearn for the appearance of some Dempsey-like man-killer to liven . up the fistic milieu. Bloodthirsty ringworms should remember that even in a dull fight, which produces no thrills or knockdowns, the fighters are taking plenty of very painful punishment. It's easy to talk about "tapping matches" and powder-puff punches, if you're outside of the ropes sitting back in a spectator's chair; but if some of the squawkers had to take part in a couple of ten round boots with tough opponents, they might be more lenient in their criticisms of th boys up in the ring. After all, there are plenty of punch-drunk fighters who are walk ing on their heels and mumbling to themselves as a result of taking too many belts on the whiskers. That's the way a good club fighter usually winds up. He puts up sen sational scraps, takes plenty of punishment, becomes a "crowd pleaser" and winds up cutting pa per dolls. No sir; you can't say that fight ing has degenerated into a parlor game just yet not while the cauli flower ears, the split lips and the dented schnozzles are there to prove the contrary 1 It's the same with football. Every year some old timer will come out with the statement that modern football has become a game for softies, that if s merely a petting party compared to the way they played the game in the eld days, etc, etc Now, I didnt see the old timers play football, so naturally, I can't renture an opinion as to whether they played a more punish ing brand ox iootoail than the mod era rridmen. But I do know this much : If foot ball was any tougher in those days than it Is right now, it must hare been just plain murder. Why, last year so many football players were fatally injured that several modifi cations in the rules had to be passed last winter, in an effort to check the growing list of fatal accidents. I his season there have been vtry few gridiron fatalities, but the game is as gruelling as ever. Just look at the face of the average football star. The mashed-in nose and battle-scarred visage usually resem bles that of a boxer who has taken plenty of punishment. You don't get battered up that way playing pine-pong I Then, too, there are a lot of folks who claim that ice-hockey is the toughest game of 'era alL Hockey tars are always getting laid up with bone-fractures, gashes, sprains and similar injuries. The terrific speed of the skaters, the vicious body-checking and the dangerous swinging of hockey sticks combine to provide the doctors with plenty of work giving first aid treatment to wounded hockey warriors. Phelan Insists on Changes At U. of W. Before he Accepts Contract SEATTLE. Dec. 21. (AP) Coach Jimmy Phelan announced tonight that he, was 'entirely sat isfied" with the salary offered him to remain as University of Washington football coach for the next three years, but declined to sign a contract because of his ex pressed dissatisfaction with the handling of Washington athletic affairs. Planning to take a train for the east at 8 p. m., at the last moment he cancelled his reserva tion, and will renew his discussion with university officials tomor row. He had been consulting with President M. Lyle Spencer and Graduate Manager Earl Camp bell during the day. His present three-year contract will expire next June. 'I am entirely satisfied with the salary offered and the term of the contract," he said, "but for my own part and for the good of athletics at Washington, I must Insist upon changes. If Washington Is to keep Its place in athletics, Uh affairs must be placed on a sounder basis, and I cannot agree to return without assurance that the financial blunders of the past will not be duplicated." The contract was unofficially reported to call for a 10,000 salary. 22 CASES PILE UP HJUST CECOURT Criminal Work is Unusually Heavy; District At torney Swamped Congestion in the criminal side of the Salem justice court has piled up 22 cases, some of which date from last summer, Judge Miller Hayden said yesterday aft er checking the docket. On none of these cases can any further step be taken until the district attorney's office can con duct the state's case, which means the justice court docket will get no relief until In February at ear liest, Deputy District Attorney Lyle Page has informed the Jus tice of the peare. Page has de voted considerable time to the grand Jury recently, including Wednesday and Friday of this week. Immediately after the holidays. the district attorney's office ex pects to be busy with a grist of cases in circuit court, which means that the earliest any ma terial work on the congested docket can be done will be in February.

Cm BuBja ibo AxtyBC INDIAN gridiron warriors! There have been quite a few famous football stars who were either full-blooded redskins or part Indian, ever since the glamorous days of Jim Thorpe and the never-to-be-forgotten Carlisle Indians under "Pop" Warner. ' Thorpe's greatness has been hymned by gridiron experts for lo these many years, and no all-time all-American team would look right with his name missing from the line-up. Big Jim could do any thing and everything on a football field, and whenever he really exert ed himself he was almost a one man football team. Among the more recent gridiron redskins who showed outstanding ability the names that come to mind include those of Mayes McLain. giant Cherokee Indian of Haskell and Iowa, and Louis "Little Rab bit" Weller, else a Haskell back field star. Back in 1926, McLain rolled up a scoring record of 253 points while playing with the Haskell Indians. "Little Rabbit" Weller starred for Haskell in 1931, and was prom inently mentioned in many all American selections for that year. He was a brilliant ball carrier, small and light but amazingiy fast and elusive, and not lacking in durability. Several recent foofiall stars, while not full-blooded redskins, can boast of Indian ancestry. Tom my Yarr, Notre Dame's great cen ter and captain back in 1931, had Indian blood in his veins; and one of this year's most brilliant half backs, Beattie Feathers, of Ten nessee, is part Cherokee Indian. Feathers, a truly great back, was one of the most important cogs in Major Neyland's formidable Tennessee grid machine, and his spectacular ball-carrying and bril liant punting helped carry the Vols through an undefeated season this year. While Indian athletes have made names for themselves in other branches of sport, such as baseball (Chief Bender, Chief Meyers, Mose Yellowhorse, etc) and track (Fait Elkins, Thorpe, etc.), still it seems safe to say that football is the branch of athletic endeavor which has produced the greatest number of famous Indian sport stars.

Jones, 41, a brother of Clayton Jones of Sa lem rural route three. Press reports last November 2 were that John Jones, while fish ing near Garibaldi, was believed to have been swept into the ocean by waves whipped up by the heavy storm raging at that time. State Trooper Ed Walsh of Til lamook and coast guard officers signed affidavits to the effect they believed John Jones had been drowned, according to his brother here. Jones' fishing tackle was found, the hook snagged on the rocks and the pole floating in the water at the' end of the line.

Arriving home from Dallas she Issued a statement declaring she had accepted several offers made her, but emphasizing matrimony will not be among the things she will accept, "at least for the present."

While fishing between Gari baldi and Barvlew, October 31. Jones noticed two cars parked near his, on the coast highway. When be went to investigate, one of the men from the ma chines said, "That's him," and struck Jones over the head, the latter says. When he regained consciousness, he found himself In a touring car traveling through Tillamook. "Want some more, or will you keep still?'' Jones' abductors are said to have queried. Jones then accepted a drink in a tin cup, which apparently con tained a drug. He dozed off and some time afterward awoke in a gralnary somewhere in the coun try. Old Man Brings Meals For six weeks, an old man daily brought meals to him. The gralnary and barn were rigged up as a bunkhouse and fre quently were occupied at night by other men. A week ago Sunday night, Jones noted that the old man did not "click" the padlock on the gralnary door on leaving. Jones sneaked out and climbed Into a canvass-covered stake truck, thinking to escape. The truck was driven away, shortly. Jones riding in the rear. When the truck stopped after some three hours' traveling over pared roads, Jones jumped out and ran into a clump of brush. He found he was on the West Side highway between Portland and Oregon City. Guitar BrisM Cash Carrying a pair of shoes and a guitar which he found near the place of his confinement, hiked into Portland, sold the instru ment, and came on to Salem to see his brother. Here he found his wife and children who bad come to Salem after his disappearance. This is the story told by Jones yesterdsy in. explanation of his six-weeks' absence during which his family believed him dead. Ha says he believes that be cause he had moved to Garibaldi Just prior to his abduction, he waa mistaken for either a federal prohibition agent or a member of a rival rum running gang. He also thinks his escape was arran ged for by his abductors to get him off their hands.
