Ruth. home-run hitter, has told
his boss, through the newspapers,
Col. Jake Rupert, owner of the

The Babe points out that he had
a splendid season in 1881 and be-

to a renewal of his old contract.
IF I'd had a bad year I'd con-

KEARNS MAKES
GOOD ON BOAST
TO COME BACK
BY DIXON STEWART
Iited Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Jan. 7. U.H)-With
the signing of contracts this after
noon for the Max Schmeling-Mic-
key Walker world heavyweight
championship bout at Miami Fla,
February 26. Jack Kearns. manager
of Walker. will maintain his rank
ing as the miracle man of modern
fight managers.
Kearns signed for many heavy
weight championship fights as man
ager of Jack Dempsey between 1919
and 1923. But to land a heavy
weight championship contract after
eight years absence from champion
ship councils is a real accomplish
ment.
When Kearns, after h s break
with Dempsey, announced he would
be back at the top. debating heavy
weight affairs after Dempsey was
gone and forgotten. few people took
his words seriously And when he
took over Mickey Walker, who had
lost the welterweight title TO Pete
Latzo, and began ballyhooing him
as a heavyweight contender, folks
shook their heads and agreed that
the poor old Doc Kearns was Slight
ly balnly.
Balmy he may have been, but he
has forced Walkers acceptance as
an opponent for Champion NJ X
Schmeling.
And if Walker wins, the stage will
be set for Jack Dempsey, whose as
sociation with Kearns has run the
gamut from insperable friendship
to bitter enmity.
The bout will be over Is round

and the popularity of Jack Demp-

But the boys seem to forget this
when January rolls into February
and the wind becomes very chilly
indeed as it whips up. down and
across Broadway. All of which I
consider a very elegant boost for
Florida. for when any of the fight

they collide in the headline
match of Promoter Joe Turner's
wrestling show at the Clark Grit

Promoter Turner selected NC

reading the selections recently
made by the National Wrestling
Association. This governing body
of the game rated Londos as
champion with Ray Steele his
nearest challenger and McMil-
ian next in line.
Unable to procure Steele be-
cause of the latter's presence on
the Pacific Coast, Turner i'm
mediately contracted with McMil-
Ian. Jim was more than willing
for he wants to lay his hands
on the elusive Greek who always
manages to outsmart heavier
foes.

assignment on his hands in his

LARGEST IN
HISTORY
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
There was much joy among the
American University student body
today.
Forrest Diehl and Oliver Tar
gee, stars of previous Eagle
elevens, have returned to com
plete their football terms.
Diehl was the ace fullback of
the 1929 team but has been out
of school since. Targee, the elu,
Sive halfback instrumental in the
80 victory scored over George
Washington in 1880, did not en-
roll last year.
Over Thirty Report
Both can kick, run and pass
and Coach Walter H. Young is
mighty proud indeed to have
these boys with him again as
their presence further brightenS
the schools football prospects.
Another factor that buoys
Young'S hopes is the number of
candidates striving for positions.
over 80, the largest in the his
tory of football at the school,
have answered the call. Besides,
several more candidates are ex-
pected.
A few years back, Young was
fortunate to muster a full team
for the regular games. Scrim-
mage was out of the question for
fear Of injury to the regulars or
the few reserves available.
Fail to Return
Some hoidovers from last year
did not return. They are George
Borsari, quarterback; Leonel Dick,
halfback. and Phil Chates, half
back. Dan Kessler, local ooy
who was used as substitute END
and halfback last fall, has quit
the game.
The most likely looking pros
pect of the newcomers is NC
Lendon, an end hailing from
North Carolina McLendon has
displayed such fine form in prac-
tice that Coach Young is trying
to convert AL Burlington, regular
flankman, into halfback.
One of the raw recruits is
Oscar Sells, the lanky basketer
trying out for end. Sells has
never before played the game.
johnson Is Eligible
Another cause of joy for Young
Is Henry johnson, halfback, of
whom much is expected. He was
ineligible last season.
The lettermen available are
Fred Johnson, halfback; Ed
Parke, fullback; Chef Bowers,
quarterback; Scott Champion,
tackle; Lee Esper, guard; Harry
Weekes, guard; Harlan Hendrick,
tackle; Johnny Mohr, center;
Wayne Larson. end, and Buffing-
ton.
The Eagles didn't win a game
last year. They don't expect to
meet defeat in every game dur

I would SClll ike TO be lily
speck on the clubhouse wall when
Koenig starts to tell the Chicago
FINGERS how to pitch to Ruth. So
far as I've observed, with my spec
tacles on and off, Babes only
weakness is hot dogs and they
can't pitch him any of those.
The Cubs have swell hurting
staff, but so did the Pirates in
1927. That year, the day before
the series opened, the Yanks held
batting practice on Forbes Field
while the PittsburgerS were lolling
around. Ruth started lamming
the ball to Harrisburg, JohnstoWn
and other mid-PennSylvania towns
and even when he knocked a foul
it landed in West Virginia.
Took Quinine
After Ruth got through using
the centerfield stands for a ten
mis- net, the other Yank sluggers
had their turn with practically
the same results. That night the
Pirate pitchers took quinine pills
for supper. They may not have
had malaria, but they sure were
Shivering.
This year the Cubs pitching
staff is a lulu. but the YankS'
batting order has also been going
along at the rate of 10 kilosWats
an hour. Just remember the
Rupperts haven't been shut ouS
this season. The YankS' end OF
the scoreboard has no more use
for zeroes than thermometers
in Miami.
1 am not claiming the Cubs
are just a bunting team, either.
That bird Cuyler can break up
a ball game like a parcel post
clerk handling a dozen eggs. And
there are several other members
of the Wrigley payroll that swing
a nasty bludgeon.
see the betting favors the
Yanks, but that doesn't mean a
thing. A lot of the wise money
that's down on the New York
club today thought the worst OF
the depression was over n No
vember, 1929. Personally I'd
rather trust my own bunch.
And if I didn't have a bunch be-
tween my shoulder blades, I'd
even depend on a goitre before
I would the so-called wise money
Because the only wise money to-
day is inside solvent bank.
Lies In Own Bed
When I pick a world series
winner make my bed and lie
in it, even if it's only a park

my reputation on the Yankees.
My reputation was SO 44-106S

pretty strong money yen, too. In

LEADER IN
c. v. WIN
By HARRY COSTELLO
George Washington University

George Washington University
won by three touchdowns!
1t was not that Washington and
Lee was weak. It was that George
Washington was strong.
"ZuZu" Stewart, Chris Dooz,
Bill Parrish, Tom Dixie and
Johnny Fenlon came through with
flying colors. Wray. substitute
end. also. Malta. substitute
quarterback, also. Others, too,
and many of them.
Analysing that 18 to 0 Colonial
victory brings to light several in.
tereSting facts and observations.
G. w. Team Clicks
The break" which inspired
G. w. came in the first quarter.
Kriemelmeyer punted. 1t was a
high punt. Henthorne, W. and L.
fullback, tried to catch it. The
ball struck his chest and rolled
toward the G. w. team. The
Colonials took possession of the
leather. Fenlon was fiery, was
a leader, right then.
G. w. had its chance, and the
team clicked. w. and l.. was
stubborn on defense. Fenlon did
not hesitate to take to the air.
Colonial coaches were worried
about G. WIS forward passes.
Was not Lee Carltn out of the
game?
Johnny Fenlon wasn't worried.
He called for a pass. He tossed
the ball, right at w. and LIS
right halfback, in the zone. Fred
Mulvey started to fall. The ball
licked the w. and l.. mans fin
gers. Mulvey caught the leather
just as it hit the ground. 1t was
a remarkable catch.
COlinials Inspired
G. w. went from team not ex-
a3tly sure of itself to one in
Spired. Fenlon, fiery, scintillat-
ing and, above everything else,
thinking, drove his team as only
fine quarterback can.
While w. and l.. was still
stunned by the suddenness of
that first touchdown, Fenlon un-
loosed his finest plays at the Gen.
erals.
Door and Stewart, supposedly
not good offensive guards, we're
playing football right up to the
mark Bill Parrish was clicking.
So was Kriemelmeyer who is a
fine football player despite his
own thoughts on the subject.
Chambers was breezing, and bring
ing his team up to scratch by his
personal work.
Guards Clear Path
Fenlon knew his guards were
clicking on offense. He called for
G. WIS best play, a short end
run, or "cut-back." He carried
the ball himself. Given perfect
cooperation, he scampered about
81 yards to touchdown.
On the other touchdown play,
when FINS Parrish dashed SIS
yards, after catching a pass from
Malta, five w. and L. men were
in positions to catch and stop
him. Those five men were per-
fectly blocked by five G. w. at
lacking units. 1t was great play.
