San Francisco, April (P) Two of the famed figures of track and field, Walter Christie of California and R. L. ''Dink" Templeton of Stanford, are hustling around in the annual scramble for material to bid for the choicest of all titles, the l. C. A. 4. A. A. championship.
 Great rivals, each has developed three national championship squads in his career. Templeton, the Boy Coach," is enjoying his heyday - his teams have won the last three I. C. A titles, Christie serving his 30th year at California, harks back to 1921, 9 and 23 when his Blue and Gold aggregations ruled su- preme.
 Those who know their sprints and shotputs believe that Templeton' S 19S0 offering has an excellent chance to make it four champion ships in a row. Several stars, not ably Bud Spencer. quarter miller; Ward Edmonds. pole vaulter and hurdler, and Kim Dyer, broad jumper. all responsible for points in the 1929 victory, have graduated.
 But Templcton has come up with a new hurdler, Rogers Smith, who gives promise of much ability. In addition, Hec Dyer, sprinter, has rounded inte :09 4-5 second form in the 100 while his 220-yard dash capabilities are nothing to be ashamed of.
 Stanford's fourth bid for national recognition, however, will be made mostly in the field events as in past years. Captain Eric Krenz, holder Of the worlds discus record, has all ready chalked up better than 160 feet in early competition. His rec ord throw exceeds this by more than three feet. In the shotput krenz has reached a mark of 51 feet 7h inches while his team mate, Har- low Rothert, has bettered this dis tance by one-half an inch.
 Five consistent performers form the nucleus of Christie's squad. They are Emery Curtice and Kenneth Churchill. javelin throwers each holding marks of better than 209 feet; Spencer Bisby. a. :09 4-5 man in the 100; Captain Al Pogolotti, hurdler, and Everett Mossman, dis tanCe runner

CANADIENS TAKE
 HOCKEY TROPHY
Flying Frenchmen Defeat Boston
 in Second Straight Game

Montreal, April 1 P}-The Stan ley cup, for 37 years Canada's most coveted sports trophy and the pres ent emblem of the worlds hockey supremacy. has come back to the dominion through the amazing ef- forts of Les Canadiens of Montreal. The Flying Frcnchmen rccapturcd the trophy which had been in the United States two years by defeating the Boston Bruins in two successive games of the playoff series between the survivors of the National Hockey league competition.
 Well coached in the playoff sys- tenn, the Canadiens reached the peak of their form for the finals, defeating the Boston Bruins, odds on favorites to retain the cham pionship, 8 to o. in, the first game and to in last nights deciding encounter. From start to finish of the series they outplayed their rivals to gain a we'll earned victory.
 The result was all the more sur prising because in the first place playoff of 1929, the Bruins won three successive victories over the Canadiens and in the course of this seasons great display of Boston strength they took four more games. Also they were considered as hay ing the better chance in the final because the Canadiens had gone through two overtime battles of rec ord duration in defeating Chicago and the New York Rangers to reach the last round of the playoffs. And to make it more of an upset, last nights defeat was the first the Bruins had suffered in Canada this season.
 The heavy Canadien defense, play ing we'll up, and the clever back checking of their forwards, held off the vaunted Boston attack until the final period while the Flying French men piled up a 4 to 1 lead. In the first period, Pete Lepine, clever sut center, fed passes to Bert McCaffrey and to Nick Wasnie for two goals A pass from Wasnie to Sylvio Man tha brought a third Canadien score before Boston got the puck past Goalie George Hainsworth.
 Eddie Shore made brilliant sole rush for the first Bruin goal, but only a minute later Howie Morenz who was the outstanding star o1 the series. took Larochelle's pass fol the final Montreal tally.
 ! In the third period the Bruins be. gan to take wild chances and tc 1 find success in them. Manager Ar
 Ross sent five forwards on the ic, and netted two goals in eight min
 utes of play. Perll Galbraith talliec on Harry Oliver's assist, then Di
 Clapper and Cooncy Wciland, Bos
 tons scoring aces. got their frs counter of the series. As a finishing
 thrill, Weiland sent the puck int l the Canadien net from wild scrim
 mage in the last few seconds onl. to have the goal disallowed on tho ruling that the rubber had beer | kicked in.
 The victory gave the Canadien
 possession of the Stanley cup fo the fourth time since it was frs
 awarded by Lord Stanley of Pres ton in 1893. Previous triumphs were | in 1916, 1919 and 1924.

HUMMER IN COMEBACK
locked Who Rode to Fame On Re- moved Man O. War Is Striving to Get Into Condition.

New York, April P>-Clarence Hummer, the jockey who rode to fame on the renowned Man O War, plans q comeback.
 Each morning finds the erstwhile idol of the turn at Aqueduct dili- gently striving to get in condition. At present he is several pounds over weight but hopes to get down to riding poundage and at the same time regain the favor of the Jockey club, which refused to grant him a license in 1926.
 Hummer, who ranked with La verne Fator and Earle Sande in his prime, finished the 1925 season with a clean record but his actions off the track were said to have aroused the ire of the racing solons. The Jockey club, however, never stated its reason for refusing to grant a license to the boy who rode Man O. War to his 20 victories.

Los Angeles, April 4 R) - Real concern over the condition of Ro- gers Hornsbys ailing heel was felt in the Chicago Cub camp today as the club, faced it's final engagement with the Los Angeles Angels.
 The Rajah dropped out of the lineup yesterday under doctors or ders and it was feared he might be forced to have another operation which would keep him out of action until the middle of the season. The continued hard hitting of Riggs Stephenson, and the work of the veteran pitchers, served to some what offset the gloom caused by Hornsby's incapacity.

JOE CLICK TO BATTLE JACK KID BERG TONIGHT
Williamsburg Pants Presscr Faces Opportunity of Regaining Position in Fisticuffs.

New York, April P-Old Man Opportunity, hardshelled custom CT, knocks for Joe Click tonight but the one-time Williamsburg pants presser may not be at home.
 Once formidable contender first for the junior lightweight and then for the lightweight title, Click has been coasting down hill for the last year. He gets chance to regain his former position tonight, however, when he faces Jack (Kid) Berg, the Whitechapel whirlwind, in ten round bout at Madison Square Gar den tonight.
 A murderous body puncher, Click is figured by some experts to have better than an outside chance of beating Berg.
