THE SPORTLICHT
BY CRANTLAND RICE

5.-Johnny Bakers drop kick that
sounded Notre Danes retreat. In
itself this particular contribution may
not seem one of the seasons greatest
exploits, for it took all of a savage
Southern California team to give Baker
his opportunity. But looking at the
matter from another angle, had he
failed, Notre Dame probably would have
completed a third undefeated season,
the lustre of one of foot balls greatest
combinations could never have been
applied, and the departure of the ia
nous Trojan seniors would have been
a sorrowful dirge. Baker had to play
his part. perfectly to make the pattern
of the whole season come out right.
6.-Red Woodworth's outboard motor
boat victory In the Albany -to-New York
race. This dramatic feat has probably
been almost forgotten, but remembered
with its preliminaries it takes rank with
the most exciting happenings of the
year. Woodwork, who played mighty
game In Northwestern's foot ball line
during the 1880 season, and always with
his flaming thatch unprotected by a
helmet. drove overland to Albany from
the Middle West, towing his boat, and
proceeded to his tuningup task without
getting any sleep Then he beat the
most famous experts in this hazardous
branch of sport, displaying totally un-
suspected skill in Weatner1ng the long
grind at high speed.
7-Burleigh Grimes pitching success
in the world series. This must take
precedence as memorable feat over
Groves brilliant seaSon-long record,
because Grimes rose to the occasion,
while Groves standard was disappoint-
ing in the crisis. Not once, but twice
70 h dc nrsrS q M
willy sagacity to NOV down the muir
derers' row of present-day base ball.
g. Helene MadiSon'S cleanup in the
swimming realm. 1t used to be consid-
cred proper and ladylike for young
girl to be modest about accepting hon
crs, but this Pacific Coast mermaid has
blotted out all opposition, making all
records hers and dominating the SWIM
ming scene for the entire year.
9. Top Flights sweep of the 2-year-
old realm on the turf. Here's another
lady who doesn's know when to stop,
and she didn't mind going against the
supposedly stronger sex. The Whitney
filly was victorious seven times in seven
starts, at all distances, from fur
longs to mile and 10 yards, and with
$4,000 to her credit already, holds
the all-time money winning mark for
racers OF her sex. BY all odds the best
performance Of the year in horse racing.
10. The Burke-Von Elm matter at In
verness. They must be linked together,
for although Burke's performance in
outlasting his rival Is history making,
Won Elm's holing of two 12-foot puts
under pressure was magnificent. Once
would have been memorable, as was
Bobby Jones similar feat on the last
green at Winged Foot in 1929, but to do
this twice qualities Won Elm for mention
in this gallery of outstanding perform
ers, regardless of the outcome of his
match.

Airship Holdout

CHICAGO, January 21.-American
~ Association clubs may produce
new kind of base ball hold
out next season-the player who re-
fuses to fly.
AS Thomas Jefferson Hickey,
studied the proposal to ship the
clubs from park to park by air to-
day, he admitted some difficulty
would be encountered with those
players, who think flying is about
as safe as groove ball to Babe
Ruth.
mo doubt. we will have some
aerial holdouts for time If we go
through with our plan to use
planes" President Hickey said, "but
I don't think we will be troubled
very long. When the Columbus
team few last Summer, two Of the
players refused to fly. They were
sent on by train, but few the next time
with the rest of the boys and liked

player to fly. All we can do in
such cases is to do like we did at
Columbus-let them take a train" 4"
American Association club owners,
at a special meeting yesterday,
adopted a 168-game schedule to

THE movie critics recently dis

admirable devotion They have

TINE movie critics recently Dis
charged their annual task with
admirable devotion. They have
picked the 10 best pictures oi
the year, the 10 best performances and
the 10 best directors. Sport hasn't the
same rigid qualifications, but it is pos
sibie to carry over something of the
honor roll idea, just at this changing.
I of-the-guard period.
It might be hard to name the 10 best
sporting pictures of 1s3l-you would
start with the Schmeling Stribling
last round, and then add the dramatic
pause on the eighteenth green at In
verness, as George Won Elm holes 12-
foot putt to tie for the National Open
Golf Championship.
Then recall the pageant in the shad-
oWs Of Bartlett'S Cove at New London,
as a victorious Harvard crew snaps
Yale's rowing reign, and see the two
inert Ellis collapsing over their oars
still quarter-mile from the finish.
The comeback of Ouimet brought no
single enduring picture to remem-
ber, but when Bill Hallahan went into
the box with two out IN the ninth in
ming of the seventh and decisive world
| series game there was a gripping spec
| tacle.
But aside from these few, and the
stirring challenge Of Top Flight in the
| Futurity, which crowned this filly the
| greatest of her sex, 1t, is hard to single
out Photographic masterpieces which
are still sharp.
But individual performances through
the year do stand out IN bold outline,
There were more than 10 great ones
Only a few will be approved by every
follower of sport as worthy Of top rank,
but in this list will be found some OF
them. And some particular attribute OF
each one has lifted 1t far above the
routine level.
l. Pepper Martins totally unforetold
domination" of the world series. In nit
ting, base-running and fielding, this un-
heralded spear bearer of the Cardinals
stole the show from the Titans--Grove,
FcxX, Simmons and Hafey.
2. Gene McEver's comeback in foot
ball after an operation, which in other
cases was rarely successful and which
compelled him to change his entire style
of play. From a dancing, swaying cli-
max runner, the Tennessee Flash be-
came a rugged blocker, a superb passer
and a power player whose value to the
team was increased rather than dimin-
ished
3. Max Schmeling's demonstration to
hostile coterie of boxing folk that he
has the stuff of which champions are
made. Criticized and lightly dismissed
after winning the title on foul from
Sharkey, Schmeling had his assignment
set for him at Cleveland, and when
Stribling's supremacy in the early
rounds was sounding the note for the
anvil chorus to break out again, the
German came on to win, and win glori-
ously.
4. Albie Booths story-book exit in
the. Harvard game. Baffled and checked
twice by the arch enemy and being
humbled third time, Booth bowed des-
tiny to his will by an icy-nerved, one
man act when he drop-kicked the win
ming points in the Harvard Stadium.
His reputation was to stand or fall on
that effort, and he delivered.

BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n TEW YORK, January 71.-It may
mi be difficult to convince the
v average duffer, but golf, in the
opinion of the Nations sports
experts simultaneously involves more
luck and skill than any other branch Of
athletic activity.
They agree that these two factors are
the only ones involved in the pursuit
of the royal and ancient game. Foot
ball leads all the rest, where strategy
is concerned, and rowing is considered
to require more strength and stamina
than any other sport.
These are the principal results Of
an Associated Press poll Of sports
editors and writer's opinions.
The views are widely divergent as
to whether golf requires more skill
than base ball, or, in fact, whether
tennis is not entitled to the call over
either. On the basis of votes, golf
leads with "a, base ball comes next
with 10 and tennis is third with IT..
But that's where the debate begins.
NN the side of base ball the argu-
" ment Is advanced that it takes q
greater all-around combination Of
capabilities to be successful at this
sport than is the case in golf. 1t Is
nointed out that Babe Ruth can turn
from base ball to shoot fine round
of golf. So Gao many other ball play
ers whereas the golfers who could
perform well on the diamond, even in
ordinary company, are few and far be-
tween. Moreover, base ball calls for
all the concentration and coordination
of golf, plus speed, strength and re-
sourcefulness.
Although you hear more often of the
breaks" in base ball, the game of golf
is considered twice as lucky. The vote
on this element of competition shows:
Golf "a; base ball, Is; horse racing,
-: foot ball and basket ball, each;
fshinq. 3. BY those who mentioned It,
horse racing however, is considered to
have the, highest percentage Of luck,
better than 80.
NN the question of strength or stam-
~ ina rowing Is at the head Of the
LIST by a good margin. The vote
shows o7 in favor OF the crew men.
Is for wrestling, IA for boxing, IL for
foot hall. 4 each for basket ball and
long distance running, 3 for ice hockey.
There also is vote for weight lifting
and another for the 440-yard run,

n TEW YORK, January 2l-Al-
IN though it has a long way to &c
| before it can catch up with
basket ball, hockey is rapidly
becoming a major Winter sport in the
colleges of the United States.
Formerly restricted in the United
States to colleges that were located far
enough North to have a good supply
of natural ice or near an artificial rink,
the game has spread out in the last
few years along with the development
of the professional game until every
school where the boys can locate a
place to skate is organizing a team.
Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Dart
mouth still hold rank as the Big -Four"
Of the ice and Northern New England
remains the center Of small college
hockey. But in the last few years the
Midwest has Joined In with Minnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin heading the
big ten parade and developing teams
that can hold their own against the
best In the East and against the
smaller nearby colleges IN Canada.
Illinois, with its new rink ready, prom
ises to have team soon.
'>- Game Grows In East.
In the East, Brown, Cornell and Col
gate are recent additions to the major
colleges which play hockey; Army is
developing into flrst-rate contender
and in New York City, Columbia, New
York University, City College and st
Johns have organized unofficial
teams this year and expect recognition
in another season or two.
The recent Olympia elimination try
outs gave college hockey another big
boost" Minnesota, Western winner
came East and held the New York
Boston all-stsr team to a 40 count
making as good a showing as the
brilliant Yale sextet did against the
same team, then followed it up with a
great losing battle with Harvard. The
final score was 7 to g. A tour by st
Mary's Of Winona, MINI, was less sue
cessful, but couple of good games
