1 By Whitney Martin NEW YORK, Dec 18-P)-Its Just an idea: ' That colleges boldly announc ' Ing their basketball teams 1 are starting on annual cross-country barn storming tours . are just asking for fur ther rigid re strict Ions on athletic travel. That rules meetings in all sports should be called off for the dura Wkity Marti, y tion so that when the boys get back they can resume play : ing the - games just where they left off, without having to bone up on a new code. That it's going to be tough for intercollegiate football to get back in some colleges that have dropped it, , as educators who oppose , it will point out that the schools " have managed to struggle along and cram knowledge into knobby noggins without benefit of the Saturday afternoon violence. That there has been an nn asual hash snrreundlnjr the sale f the rails, Indicating the Na tional leagne may have to take the dob ever after alL (May be they should; offer eon pons with the purchase, or a set of dishes.) That if one man were named to speak for all branches of the gov eminent in its r elations with sports it would clarify things con siderably, and sports would know just where they stand. As it is sports have to get rulings from manpower, transportation and other alphabetical directors sep arately, and then don't know just what's what.-. That the AAU and USL.TA are taking a : lot for granted in an nouncing a business-as-usual pro gram next year. That Branch Kicker really pat Sam Breadon on the spot in say ins: (hat the Cardinals had nothing to worry about the next five years. And he fenced: him self In with a nice advance alibi In saying ' It would take fire . years to rebuild the Dodgers, a. "crab that won only 104 games ' this year.' That, considering the difficul ties of selection because of a daffy season, the j bowl committees did a pretty good 1ob of lining up their: games. And for 'those who criticize a team because. It was defeated, it might be pointed Out the Phils beat the Cardinals once in awhile. i That colleges have been the leasti cooperative, both in, con tributing to war charities and in helping : ease the - transportation problem. The schools made no ef fort to discourage attendance at their football games when they knew that huge crowds meant many customers were coming from a distance. That if the idea of splitting . the major leagues into eastern and western divisions were car ried" through It might be funny to have a world series between twe American league or two National league clubs. That the clubs which made money last season have a chance to show their sportsmanship by voluntarily boosting the salaries of deserving players who, because Of fear of public opinion, will be unwilling to come out in the open with demands for more money. That although the race tracks contributed handsomely to chari ty, , they didn't cooperate fully. Some of those nags should have been turned in for fat long ago. That a fighter winning the title of "duration champion will have a cheesy title at best Limburger, at that ' Whelchel Appointed To Annapolis Post ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec 18 -P) Rear Admiral J. R.

The soldiers, sadly outclassed in the first half which saw Willamette take a 26-M lead. came back with a bang that Lbrought them a tie finally, but couldn't keep up with the driv ing Methodists and succumbed. LA. i Herb Brown, Timber Wolves center who hooped in his college hey-day for Indiana : U, was the big noise of this sec ond half smut as he personally ; accounted for ' IS points of the 2? made. Most of Brown's bits were accomplished after he neatly ! feinted the Beareat w guards out of the "hole. Brown also led the scoring with IS points.' Coach "Spec" Keene's 1942-43 edition s showed much driving power to the hoop as well as sparkling play by Forward Dave Kelly, Center Gene Schmidt and Guard Bob Weaver. Kelly meshed 10 points to lead his mates. Weav er picked up six, mostly due to a deadly one-handed push from the sides. - As aforementioned, the sol- ; dlers appeared maeh too slow to keep up with' the 'Cats in the first half, although they did manage to score first en Lt Bob . Duffy's long looper and hold i that advantage for almost five minutes. It was the only time the Adair men were out in front however, as hits by Kelly, Wes Saxton and Ron Runyan ran the Methodists to a 12-7 advantage with It minutes gone. More loopers by Pat White, Run yan, Weaver and Bob Douglas ac counted : for most of Willamette's leading points at the half. t The game picked up to thrilling capacity! halfway through the sec ond half 'and became brimmed with hard body checking and foul ing. Weaver, Garrell Deiner, Schmidt, and Teddy Ogdahl hit for Willamette but these points were more than offset by the awakened Wolves I Brown, Loren Garrett, Gene Badgely and Joe Quin. With nine minutes left the Timber Wolves brought it up to 30-35, and with more hot hooping by Brown, Badgely; and Waxman tied it up with four minutes left t Don fBarnick missed with a lay-in, but Duane Rarsdale fol lowed it up and made one good to put Willamette back In front where Ithey managed to stay. A quick "steal" by Barnlck fol lowed by a pass to Kelly gave TTD a cripple to lengthen it out Twenty-two fouls in all were assessed against Willamette's chargers while , the soldiers com mitted 13. Keene used 13 players who took a total of 68 shots, making good 19 for a shooting percentage of .288. The soldiers made only 44 shots, hit 16 and had a .364 per centage. .

Beau Jack Now World's Champ Kayoes Tippy Larkin For lightweight Fez By SID FEDER NEW YORK, Dec 18 (JF) Beau Jack, a busy young negro who skyrocketed out of the Au gusta (Ga.) national i golf club less than two years ago,, won the New York version of the world lightweight championship Friday night by flattening Tippy Larkin of Garfield, NJ, in three rounds in Madison Square Garden. Jack weighed 132; Larkin 134. After being flooded In the first few seconds of the fight for a one-count, the slim Gar field Italian, who learned his fighting in CCC camps, came back to fight Jack to a stand still for the next few minutes In one of the fastest and "punchinr-est" fig-hts put on In the Garden in years. But Jack, whose real name Is Sidney Walker, came charging in at the Jerseyian minute after min ute, despite short right jolts which did him no good, and s he finally caught Tippy with a short right hand half-uppercut near a neu tral corner early in the third round. Larkin came down like a Christmas tree on the way to mar ket from the woodman's axe, and Referee Otto Susskind (Young Otto) counted the full ten over him. The official time was 1 minute, 19 seconds of the third round. Thus, just about a year after he belted his way Into the big time and less than three months since the time he was generally retarded as Just a pretty rood club fighter without too much classJack holds the world lightweight crown, even if It to a crown without toe many Jewels.

Cal Sanctions ' NBA Tourney PATERSON, NJ, Dec 18-(ff) Abe Greene, national Boxing as sociation president, Friday re ceived a telegram from Jerry Geisler, chairman of the Califor nia Boxing ' commission, saying the ' California . commission has voted unanimously in favor of a nation-wide elimination tourna ment to be sponsored by the NBA to determine a lightweight cham pion. - Such a tournament, - the tele gram said, would "present a truly logical successor to the throne re cently vacated by the retirement of Sammy Angott." - Sek leted Hoop 11 l ; I AL LIGHTNER Statesmaa Sports Editae Hammerta Henry Armstrong, won 13 bouts since corning out of Friday was acclaimed as the year's Soma of the nation's sports writers balloting in the annual pott of the Associated Press showed where their feelings lay by pointing , oat that the most glorious comeback of all was accomplished by Eddie Rlcken baeker . . . but confused to sports the preference for Armstrong was overwhelming. Of the 86 sports experts who voted on this subject, 50 listed the one-time triple champion of boxing among their three choices for the foremost comeback. These votes were divided 22 firsts, 17 seconds and . 11 thirds and on the basis of three, two and one point for each class, gave him a total of 111 points. The feat of the St. Louis Car dinals in making two comebacks, first to snatch the National league pennant from the Brook lyn Dodgers and second to win the world series after losing the first game to the New York Yankees, was recognized as the second most Important about face. Sixteen scribes rated the Cardinals on top and a dosen others split their votes between second and third places to pro vide the Redbirds with a total of 68 points. Otherwise the fancy of the sports writers was almost un bounded with no fewer than 51 teams and individuals rating some sort of mention.
