(AP Newsfeatures) Kerr to Quit Coaching Except for Shrine Game Lebanon, Pa., Feb. IS U.B Aged Andy Kerr, one of the most famed college football coaches of all time resigned to day as head coach at Lebanon Valley college and said, he would not accept a new coach ing position again.

"We realize the difficulties under which you must be working with 14 different Thorpe Feats Become Legend But Fact and Fiction Remain Mixed By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. New York, Feb. 13 VP) There are a thousand good stories some of them true about old Jim Thorpe, the greatest all around athlete of the past 50 years. And, in the nearly 40 years since the muscular Sac-Fox In dian first flashed to athletic fame at Carlisle Indian school, it has become increasingly hard to tell where the truth ends and where excusable exaggeration begins. James Francis Thorpe is not merely a legendary figure in American sports, he's the kind of man about whom legends grow, and Thorpe himself sol dom hesitated to add to the fa ble of Old Jim. Taking fact and fable for what they're worth, the sports writers and broadcasters of the United States, participat ing In the Associated Press poll, voted Thorpe the out standing male athlete of the first half of the 20th century. They put him far ahead of Babe Ruth, jack Dempsey, Ty Cobb, Bobby Jones and Joe Louis all great athletes about whom some colorful yarns al so have been told. Of the 393 voters, 252 named Thorpe first, 45 nanwd him sec ond and 29 third. Ruth drew 86 first place votes, 118 sec onds and 45 thirds. Dempsey was ranked third with 19, 67 and 55. In other ballots, the experts also chose Thorpe now 61 years old as the outstanding football player of the 1900-1949 period and ranked him second only to Jesse Owens in track According to legend, Thorpe was virtually undestructible; the kind of guy who'd ask: "Who could get hurt playing football? Yet Jim was hut more than once playing football. In his first big season, 1911, he was on crutches most of a week be fore he led a 16-0 rout of Pennsylvania and his legs were heavily bandaged the day he kicked four field goals, the last 5 iV a ThP Winrflin Bl"y Graham Mlliuup weiterweight welterweight pares to throw a roundhouse punch during bout at Madison Square Garden in New York.

RUNS LIKE ROYALTY Miami (P) Spring Hill Farm's Nell K., winner of Hialeah's Palm Beach Handicap, acquired the nickname "the little girl from the wrong side of the tracks" from her none-too-fancy breeding. She is by the virtu ally unknown sire, Crowfoot, and out of a mare, Sea Elk, which was bought for a song by Owner Jim Norris. 48 yards to upset mighty Har vard. There's a legend that Thorpe was a one-man track team who once beat Lafayette single handed in a dual meet. Harold Anson Bruce, then Lafayette coach, has a different version in which Carlisle brought four men to help Thorpe. All Jim did that day was finish second in the 100-yard dash and win the pole vault, high jump, broad jump, shot put and low hurdles. And there's a legend that Thorpe couldn't hit a curve ball, a weakness which finally forced him out of the major leagues. Yet Jim was good enough to re main in the majors six seasons and to draw a $7500 salary when $7500 really meant something, His "lifetime" major league batting average was .252, but in 1919, his last season, he hit .327 for 62 games. Eddie Roush won the National league champion ship that year with .321 for 133 games. In. the next two seasons Jim batt'.'d .360 for Akron in the International league and .358 for Toledo in the American as sociation. Pointing to those figures Thorpe asks: "Does that show I was a sucker for a curve?" The established facts are al most as incredible as the fic tion. Playing football (or a little school that usually was outmanned and outweighed against the strongest of the big eastern colleges, Thorpe scored 25 touchdowns and a 198 point total in 1912. That same year he had won both the pentathlon and decathlon at the Stockholm Olympic games, winning four events in each competition. Later when his medals and trophies were taken from him because he had violated the strict Olympic code of amateur ism by playing professional baseball for $60 a month, his de feated rivals refused to accept them. They insisted: "Thorpe won them fairly. He is the greatest athlete in the world.'

Thorpe's Olympic feats, superb I as they were at the time, show that he wouldn't be considered any great snaKes ny moaern standards. In only one event, the high jump, did he surpass Glenn Morris' 1936 world-record decathlon. By the (ome scor ing system, Jim would have finished about even with 17-year-old Bob Mathias when he won in 1948. But in his special ties, the sprints hurdles and broad jump, Thorpe wasn't far from the 1912 world records. Thorpe also starred in base ball, basketball and lacrosse at Carlisle and had a fling at wrest ling. When he later tried golf, he learned to shoot in the 70's. In his prime, Jim was a perfect ly co-ordinated 185-pounder standing 6 feet 114 inches in his moccasins. Added to his all-around ability was a magnificent lazi ness a disinclination to train or to exert himself more than was necessary and a notable weakness for firewater that has become the subject of more than one Thorpe legend. Steve Owen, coach of the New York Football Giants, tells of playing against Thorpe when Jim was the unpredictable star of the Canton Bulldogs pro foot ball team. Steve was a tackle and when Thorpe, playing wing- back, didn't block him on the first two plays, Owen decided the Indian didn't feel like play ing that day. "So on the third play I ignored him and shifted wide for a real tackle," Owen relates. "I landed exaclty on top of my head when he hit me. Then as Jim dragged me to my feet, he said: 'Young man, never take your eyes off the wingback '." One of Thorpe's little-known feats was breaking up the only double-no-hit game in major league history, lie was in right field for Cincinnati in May, 1917 when the Reds' Fred Toney and Jim Vaughn of the Cubs pitched hitless ball for nine innings. In the tenth Larry Kopf singled and went to third when Fred Wil liams muffed Hal Chase's fly. Start $360,000 High School Gym Mt.

Oregon Then Thorpe beat out a slow hit to bring in Kopf with the only run of the game. How Thorpe's baseball feats have been magnified is shown by a clipping on file in the Na tional league office. It tells how Old Jim spun a yarn about hitting three home runs into three different states during a spring exhibition in the state-line city of Texarkana. The first, he said, was inside the park, which was entirely in Texas. The second went over the right field fence into Ar kansas and the third over the left field fence into Oklahoma The item concludes: "Thorpe is rated the greatest all-around athlete who ever lived. Ho must have been to hit that last home run, for the Oklahoma border is some 40 miles beyond the left field fence which he describes."

With six conference games remaining on the 12 game schedule, Sharman now has 138 points to his credit. Luisetti, Stanford's all-America. had 116 points at the halfway mark in 1938 The sharpshooting USC for ward boosted his average cons id erably over the weekend.
