NJ A 7 PROGRAM

Promoter Joe Turner has COM
pleted the balance Of his card
for the wrestling show at the
Washington Auditorium tomor-
row night by the addition of two
preliminary matches. Gorge
Tragos, the rugged st. Louis
Greek, faces Leslie Grimes, of
Australia, and Frank LeChene, the
Frenchman, engages Mike Chap
lin, of New York. Both will be
time limit affairs.
The main event will bring to-
gether Jim McMillen and Billy
Bartush. with the women fans
cheering for Bartush. The latter
seems to have some sway with
the fair sex ever since he came
here first as the Masked Mar
vel" Promoter Turner also wishes
it known that women, accom-
panied by escorts, will be ad-
mitted free tomorrow night, ex-
cept to the ringside and box
seats.

For instance, one heard
many predictions a month ago
that when the Eastern racing
season opened and the baseball
season got under way, there
would be a diminution of the
wrestling throngS.
Presumably these forecasters
saw new outlets for the fan
money when racing and base
ball would arrive, diverting
some of the coin which has
been going into wrestling in no
meager amounts during the
winter.
But these predictions have
not panned out to date, and
wrestling is holding it's own
against both baseball and rae
ing. Since the two outdoor
sports mentioned have un-
locked their turnstiles, the mat
men in the two local houses
have held their own, the Au-
. ditorium pulling its normal
1000 each Thursday night and
the Strand playing to between
TOO and 1000 on Mondays.

Notre Dame Rebuilding

After suffering an irreparaole
loss in the death of knute
Rockne, Notre Dame is rebuild
ing against the future WITH
three very splendid men in Ath-
letic Director Jesse Harper, Sc
nior Football Coach Hunk An
derson and Jack Chevigny who
will be Anderson's assistant.
On the face of matters, this
seems the proper triumvlrate
to carry on the great work
which Rockne accomplished.
It may be that in time, Harper
can develop another Rockne.
AS the 1atter's original tutor at
South Bend, Harper certainly
did a masterful job in giving
the football world man OF
Rocknes ability, forcetulneSS
and accomplishments.
But a second RoCkne can't
be expected to be developed in
a few years, if indeed his like
ever is produced. SO, in put
ting Harper at the adminiStra-
tive head of Notre Dame sports.
the university is guaranteeing
itself leadership in that depart
ment.
In placing Hunk Anderson,
Rockne'S first assistant, in
charge of the football coach
ing, Notre Dame is retaining
a man who knows the present
material and who is most likely
to get the best out of it when an
other campaign rolls around.
The new order of things at
Notre Dame. therefore, seenl
well planned and from out
side appearances should click.

About the Boxers

Rob Roy Mackey. a wrestler of
a decade or more ago has made
some observations about the
sport as now conducted which
possibly carry some truth.
Referring to the slapping and
slugging to which some of the
matmen subject their opponents,
it is the opinion of Mackey that
these boxing tactics will ulti-
mately ruin wrestling. His
theory, couched in his own
words is:
"The boxers ruined their own
game and now they are coming
into the wrestling sport and un-
less they are curbed, will ruin
wrestling"
Within a month now, the wres-
tiers will be outdoors. Joe Turn.

The old style ball will be the
standard for play in the British
amateur and Voigt, anxious to
bag this prize, has been using the
old fashioned ball in his matches.
He doesn't want to take any
chances in having any part of
his game spoiled by using the
new ball in practice on this side
and then forced to shift to the
old pill when landing on Eng
lands shores.
81 don't want to take. any
chances" says Voigt. II don't
know how quickly Id he able
to shift from the big to the
small ball once ! arrived in
England, and I'm not going to
trouble to find out.
1--WE played the American
ball a number of times and,
personally, I like it, particular
ly for iron shots, even though
lose some distance, which
cannot afford. But now my
main idea is the British
amateur, and I'm going to play
as many courses as can here
abOuts, using the small ball,
before / start for Europe"
Voigt's game is spotty at the
present. The other day, he
played 27 holes at the Garden
City Club in New York and was
out in 35 on each nine, but
needed 40 strokes on the inward
trip each time. He will sail for
England on May and will re-
main for the British open. in case
he cops John Bulls amateur
laurels.
