Yank Brings Yacht
to Shore With Aid
Of Pocket Compass

Cowes, Isle of Wight.-(R)-The
auxiliary motor yacht "Zarita," :"
owned by Franklin M. Singer, of
New York, and sailing under the
American flag, which left Cowes for
a cruise in the Mediterranean, has
returned in a disabled condition with
only a pocket compass to help navi-
gate her.
On leaving Arcachon the vessel
encountered bad weather. Her miz-
zen mast snapped off at the deck
and her sails, rigging and mast went
by the board. When the wreckage
was cut away it was found that the
pinnacle and compass had been
smashed and the steering gear dis
abled. Temporary repairs were
effected and the ship was brought
home by the pocket compass.

Gus Dorais Brings
Detroit u Machine
from Grid Cellars

Detroit, (AP)-"Gus" Dorais, the
hurling end Of the famous Dorais-
Rockne passing combination at
Notre Dame, Las been the Moses to
lead the University of Detroit out Of
athletic darkness.
This year his team has not been
defeated. 1t has scored 215 points
to its opponents ID.
Dorais came to Detroit three years
ago. Detroit's teams, when Gus ar
rived from Gonzaga University on
the Pacific coast, scarcely could be
called second rate.
He brought his Notre Dame texts
with him and at once began to in
stall the Notre Dame system. Bud
Boeringer, all-America center, and
John Frederick, stars of the South
Bend school, were added as coaches.
Dorais spent most Of his first
year developing a freshman team.
In 1927 he presented it to intercol-
legiate competition. It won seven
games and lost only to Notre Dame
and the Army.
Detroit realized it had place on
the American gridiron. This year
the home crowds have taxed the
stadium.
Dorais has been coaching fifteen
years.

Heeney Is Not Eager to Return
to Ring Unless Opponents
Are His Style

New York, Nov. 22-(P)-Whether
Tom Heeney, sturdy New Zealand
fighter who was the loser in Gene
Tunney's last appearance as heavy
weight champion, retires from the
ring depends on his opponents more
than anything else. In his first in
terview since he reached New York,
Heeney said that he was very un-
certain about continuing his ring
career but that he would like to keen
on if he could fight only men suited
to his style.

planned. my wife wants me to get
out while I am sound in body and
mind. l feel that I've fought them
all. There's no new ones around for
me to tackle and l have a little

business which would bring me
satisfactory income. That's one
side of it.
"Yet I'd like to keep on if could

opponents. But what mean is to
fight men near my own size and
more closely related to ME in style,
fellows like Sharkey, Risko, Pauline
and Dempsey, any one of the four
or all four Of them. That would be
better than if I fought somebody
like Tunney, bigger than me and
given to boxing rather than fight
ing"
Apparently discounting the possi-
bility Of wading through an elimina-
tion tournament to the heavyweight
title, Heeney did not think much Of
the money to be won in the ring.
II suppose I could earn about
$4,000 in a years fighting" he
said. "And against this there is the
idea of exposing yourself to injury"

ALEX HAS MADE
GREAT RECORDS
IN EVERY YEAR
Has Been Coach at Georgia
School Since 1920; Boasts
Great Machines
HAS GREAT PERSONALITY
Only Time He Was Angry
When Sporting Writer
Faxed Interview
HAS GREAT PERSONALITY
BY MORGAN BLAKE

Ihe only mar connected with
sports in this writer's acquaintance
who seems afflicted with too much
modesty is Bill Alexander, the 81
year-old coach at Georgia Tech, a
team that every year is capable Of
putting up good scrap against any
opposition and in special years
rises to great heights in national
prominence.
Alex has been head coach Of Tech
since 1920. In his first year he won
the southern championship by de-
feating the famous Centre College
team, "a to 0. This Centre team
included Bo McMillin and Red Rob-
erts, both on Walter Camps all
America team.
Georgia Tech has another fine
team this year, one that conquered
Notre Dame, Is to O, and Wander
bilt, 10 to z. The Tech-Notre Dame
game was one of the few in the last
decade in which the Irish have
failed to score a point.
What's He Like?
Well, what sort a fellow is this
Bill Alexander, coach of the Tor
nado?
He is absolutely one man without
any bull or baloney. He has not one
iota Of showmanship, although he
has one Of the most attractive and
engaging personalities of any man
know. But he shuns the spotlight
for himself as though it were the
plague.
Sometimes we sport writer's in
Atlanta get real peeved because
Alex won't do . little Dragging.
Alex always gives the other fellows
the best of it. When his team wins
a game, his traditional statement
for publication is 1--WE got the
breaks" OF course, when he is hav-
ing those heart to heart talks with
his men Coach Alexander opens up
and let's them know how proud he is
of them. But they never learn this
fact through the newspapers.
The angriest I ever have seen
Coach Alex get was on the morning
of a game this year when a sports
writer faxed an interview with him,
in which Alex was credited with
boasting brazenly Of how Tech was
going to cat its opponent alive.
When he saw it, he asked me to
do him favor, about the first re-
quest like that in the many years of
our acquaintance.
"Please reply to that in some way
for me, will you?" he requested.
Coach Alexander has had some
lean seasons since he has been in
charge at Tech and the tickle public
has ridden him a lot. Especially
during the years when Alabama was
riding the crest in the south, and

San Francisco-Jock Malone,
st. Paul, outpointed Bud Doyle,
San Jose, (1O).

Tech was suffering from the poor
est lot of material in many years,
did Alex take a roasting. But nei-
ther criticism nor praise make any
impression on him. He is one man
who can meet with triumph and dis
aster and treat those two imposters
just the same.
Tech won the Southern Conference
championship in 1927, although the
team had a bad year in 1926. At
the annual banquet to the cham
pions, Alex made a little speech. He
said:
"At the end of the 1926 season
folks met me on the street and
asked-'Alex, what was the matter
with your team this year?' This
year they meet me on the street and
say, Alex, didn't WE have q great
team!'"
Alexander Is Worshiped
Alexander is worshiped by his
men. They know he is a square,
shooter and that every man will get
his just deserts. He is a hard
driver on the field. In teaching the
fundamentals Of tackling and block
ing, we don't believe he has su-
perior.
He can put the iron in his mems
craws. The Jackets are the sturdi-
est crew in the south. They seem to
be immune from injuries. In the
recent hard game against Wander
bilt eleven Tech men fought through
practically the entire four quarters.
At the end not one of them was
breathing hard. They hadn't taken
time out single time. The fine
physical condition Of Techs football
players are always source of won-
der to outsiders.
Coach Alexander is a graduate of
Tech. He never was any great
shakes as a football player, but he
scrubbed manfully for four years
and he got in few games and won
his letter. He became assistant
coach to John Heisman and succeed
ed him to the head role when Heis-
man went to Pennsylvania to coach.
Coach Alexander is a bachelor and
has absolutely no interest in the fe-
male Of the species, except those of
his own family. For years he and
Kid Clay, head coach of the Tech
baseball team, and freshman foot
ball coach, occupied bachelor quar-
ters together and it was thought
that neither would ever marry. But
finally Dan Cupid got the Kid. But
the boy with the bow has a tougher
lob in Alex.

Washington, Jan. 27-Some people
call Andrew Mellon the greatest
secretary Of the treasury since
Alexander Hamilton, which covers
a great many years, and others call
him the greatest secretary of the
treasury since Carter Glass, which
doesn't cover any time at all.
II am not obliged to either con-
firm or deny anything that q news
paper man writes because he hasn't
any material for his paper" Mellon
is quoted as saying apropos Of the
report that he would support Hoover
for president.
Few will object because Mellon
chopped up an infinitive, if he did,
but it appears that he either knows
very little about the newspaper
business or was just trying to be
smart, or both. Probably every
newspaperman in Washington has
wads of material for his paper and
his paper has wads Of other ma.
terial for which it has no room, al
though Mellon doubtless remarks
sometimes with other uniformed
persons that 'the papers must be

as matter OF mere personal choice
he would flop to Dawes. But one
can hardly flop to Dawes when
Dawes has flopped, for the pre-con-
vention period at least, to Lowden.
And it must have occurred to Mellon,
who was once all set for a temporary
flop to Hughes, that a careless flop
might conceivably still find him
laundering about on all fours while
the real procession passed by, for it
is quite possible that Hoover's pro-
cession will be the only one to count.
Perhaps Mellon believes that it's
likely to turn out that way. IF he
has, and still isn't quite sure about
it, the smart political trick is to
remain technically neutral and let
the word seep into the Hoover camp
that Melons heart is in the right
spot. :.
Unless Mellon were feverishly
anxious to push Hoover into the
White House, there would be nothing
to be gained by q public announce
ment at this time. One of the fun
niest thoughts in connection with
Melons attitude is the possibility
that he may have to consult Boss
Bill Ware of Philadelphia before he
can come out for anyone. Boss
Ware and his gang licked the Mellon
political outfit in Pennsylvania at
the last election and he consequently
seems very essential to ANY of
Melons political plans. Somebody
ought to find out what Boss Ware
is thinking. -.

Flying Bootleggers
cleveland News)

Aviation may be among many things m 'ng
prohibition difficult, after all. Magazine stories
have represented whisky smuggling by air
routes as big and profitable branch of lawless-
ness. Occasional newspaper accounts of mys-
ferrous airplanes figuring in mishaps some
where near Canada, Cuba or Mexico have lent
plausibility to the theory that the air is more
or less full OF rum-runnerS
But the recent story of the plane that
landed disastrousy, though evidently not UNI
expectedly. late at night near a landing field
between Akron and Massillon, giving the man
agement some ado in making away with most
of the cargo Of twenty cases of liquor, helped
by little gun play and two automobiles lack
ing license plates, at least brought closer home
than usual the thought that air defense may
be problem for reformers as for military men
What to do is not an easy question. The
Federal government covers the air somewhat
as well as land and water, in it's efforts to pre-
vent the smuggling of liquors, aliens and other
undesirables. But the results are evidently
imperfect. Air forces sufficient to stop all
air smuggling by force of arms probably would
involve pr0hibitive expense. international
agreements could not help, since the bootleggers
of the air would disregard regulations in one
country as completely as in the other. Possibly
the only hope lies in insisting that the whole
world 60 dry, or its Western hemisphere al
least. And that hope doesn't seem exactly
refulgent when we remember how Canada
backslid.
