half in only q shade over record
time, Is being primed by Coach

British SpOrtsmen
May Challenge u. S.

London, Feb. 18.-(PeDespite
the death Of Sir Thomas Upton,
who was believed to be the only
British yachtsman who could at
ford to challenge for the Amer
ica's cup, there are strong indica-
lions that another British chal-
lenge for this historic trophy may
be forthcoming soon.
The British Racing Union has
adopted resolution, addressed to
the New York Yacht club, which
holds the trophy, requesting that
suggestions be considered modify
ing the present rules Of construc-
ton Of the masts I Class j
yachts, the cup class.
After the Enterprise, carrying q
duraluminum mast, OUTRAGED
Shamrock v in 1880, q minimum
weight rule for nasts was passed,
providing that they must weigh
at least $500 pounds. The sug-
gestion made by the British Union
yesterday was that the masts be
made either Of wood or steel and
that the minimum mast weight
rule be altered to cover all fittings
attached to the masts for sails
and rigging.
The suggestions were believed
to be the first indication Of q new
British challenge for the cup.

competition. But he does not intend
to stop running. He loves to run, he
says, and part of his training regime
is the daily ten mile jaunt from his
home in Pottstown to his working
place in Colebrookdale. And when
he has little spare time he works
out on the Hill school track.
Others Take H0nOrs
The other members of the quartet
took most of the honors Venzke left
last night. Sexton, continued his
great display of shot putting which
has come to light this season with
his second record breaking toss of
the week. A put of 81 feet 8ss inches
wiped all the worlds records from the
books, beating not only the indoor
mark of 81 feet Ills inches he made
last Saturday but the outdoor record
of So feet, ~ inches held by Emil
HirSchfeld of Germany.
Spitz once more beat his listed high
jump mark of six feet seven inches,
doing it for the third time this sea-

Saturday.

Coach Charges Ski.
Jump at Olympics
Not Judged Fairly
julius Bergen Says Omen Of
Minot Shunted From Third
to Fifth Place

Minneapolis, Feb. 1s.-(PeJudgine
of the ski jumping event in the win
ter Olympics at Lake Placid, N. Y.
was criticized Thursday by Julius
Blegen, coach of the United States
team, who recommended that a pro-
test be filed with the international ski
federation.
Blegen directed his criticism at DR.
Francois Laco of France, one of the
three judges, asserting that his scor-
ing unfairly shunted Casper Omen,
national champion, from third to
fifth place. Omen, who lives at
Minot. N. D., skis for the Canton, s.
D.. club.
The coach made his recommended
ton in a report of the competition,
in which Norway made clean sweep
of the first four places, to l.. Deyo,
of the Bear Mountain Sports asso-
citation of New York, president of the
National Ski Association of America.
Blegen said ski jumping was one OF
the few events in the Olympics which
did not result IN dissension during
some stage of the competition and
that he is reluctant to protest except
in the interest of obtaining better
judging in future meets.
"Oimen was awarded an abnormal
ly low style rating on the first of his
two jumps by DR.. Lacq, SO low in fact
that it is laughable when compared
with rating given to other inferior
illmnS" BleQen said
In the second place, it was found
that figures on the score sheets had
been changed. For instance, Walberg
of Norway. who was put In third
place in the final list, was rated at
171a points for style, out of posi-
bic 20, and later the figures were
changed to 1915.
1T was the concensus among most
ski experts that Omen was entitled
to third place in the final standings
but instead he was engineered into
fifth place"
Blegen praised the judging Of John
Klerker of Sweden and did not COM
ment on that Of Sigurd Lockerberg Of
Canada.

Gene Venzke Smashes Record
Held BY Paavo Nurmi;
Other Stars Uncovered

New York, Feb. 18.-(P)-Gene
Venzke, boy who always wanted to
be runner but never thought he'd
be good enough. has become the out
standing member of quartet of
track and field stars who have risen
during the current season from places
of obscurity to become America S
leading Olympic hopes.
The other three are George SpitZ
New York university's remarkable
high jumper, Leo Sexton, shot put
ace Of the New York athletic club,
and Emmett TOPPING, sprinter from
Loyola university of New Orleans.
They yield only to Venzke in feats Of
breaking and equalling records this
year
Venzke leaped into the spotlight
about ten days ago when he smashed
the indoor mile record with All is
performance. He scared to even
greater heights last night when he
ran a 4:l0 mile. the second fastest
ever recorded. In winning the Baxter
mile at the New York A. c. games in
this remarkable team, Venzke not
only smashed his own indoor record
but also beat the listed outdoor world
mark of 4:l0 2-5. held by Paavo Muir
mi, leaving untouched only Jules
Ladoumegue's unofficial word record
of 400 is.
Makes Record
1t was an entirely unprecedented
feat when the Pottstown, Pa, school,
boy made new record last night. His
only plan was to run the race and to
go OUT If he felt his legs and the
pace were right for fast time. Half
way through the race, with Frank
Crowley of Manhattan college setting
a fast pace, he decided he had plenty
of speed left, called on the reserves
he built up by running to and from
work, five miles each day, and ran a
great field into the ground. Leo
Lermond, his leading rival, was left
40 yards behind as Venzke covered the
last quarter in SO 2-5 seconds.
He plans to run again next Mon

Heidi Plays Brilliantly For

A mere handful of fans watched
Neil Churchill's Bismarck Phantoms
trim the Valley City state teachers
college five, 80 to 10, in a listless bas-
ketball game at the World War
Memorial building Wednesday eve
ming.
Both teams showed the effects Of
games the previous evening and the
lack of enthusiasm which results
from small crowds of spectators was
reflected further in the contest.
Tuesday evening the Phantoms had
thumped the jamestown college quint
and the Vikings had lost tough
struggle to the Dickinson teachers by
q one-point margin.
Except for the first few minutes,
the Phantoms were out ahead and
It was apparent throughout that the
Capital City quint would be on the
long end of the score when the con-
test ended
Coach Roy d. Mcleod sent his
Phantom reserves in for the first
quarter, and this five more than
played the visitors on even terms, the
score being 8 to 6 for the home crowd
when the period ended.
Regular Quint Enters
At the beginning Of the second
quarter Mcleod sent his regular
quint into the fray and the margin of
superiority over the Vikings was in
creased considerably. The Bismarck
ers led 16 to 8 at the halfway mark.
The Valley Citians spurted at the
beginning of the second half but the
Bismarck machine began to click soon
and the threat from the visitors was
stopped in short order.
The game afforded local fans a
chance to see three former Valley
City high school stars, who partic-
ipated in colorful high school basket
ball tournaments a few years ago, in
action. These were Thoreson. who
was the main Viking scoring threat
Wednesday evening, Owens, who also
played good game, and Ferguson.
II the Vikings had an outstanding
performer, it was Thoreson.
For the starting Phantom five.
Leonard "Sheik" McRae at center
carried the most heavy duties. IN
cluded in the shock troops were two
sets Of brothers, Fay and Henry
Brown and Eddie and John Spriggs.
George Heidi Brilliant
George Heidi, at guard, played his
usual good floor game and in addition
contributed to the Phantom scoring,
while Mike Geston was able defen-
sively. Gus Schwartz, center. and
George "Shaky" Schaumberg and
Karl Thornburg, forwards, did not
reach their usual fast-breaking click
Ing offensive play. Thornburg was
suffering from a bad charleyhorse
received at Jamestown the previous
night. Austin Smith, who entered
the game in the second half. played
effectively and added a field goal to
the Phantom total.
The Phantoms will play the fast
travelling House of David quint next
Wednesday evening at the Memorial
building. The bearded team has de-
feated the strong Ascension club team

KINCF|SH IS RANKED
AS STRONGEST TEST
IN COMEBACK TRAIL
$4,000 Spectators Expected to
Jam Into Punch Bowl to
See Fight
TO USE LIGHT GLOVES
Experts Say Fishmonger's Only
Hope Lies in Landing
Haymaker
TO USE LIGHT GLOVES

Chicago, Feb. 18-tP-Jack Demp-
seys comeback trail leads back to a
Chicago ring once more tonight but
this time his obstacle isn't the cool,
calculating Gene Tunney. but the
wild swinging eX-fish peddler, King
Levinsky.
Almost five years ago, when the ia
nous ManasSa Mauler fought and
lost his last battle in Chicago he met
Tunney in that memorable -four
teen count" struggle for the worlds
heavyweight crown before record
smashing throng Of $4,000 spectators
at Soldier Field. Tonight. he meets
Levinsky in four-round tussle at the
Chicago stadiun-a clash that should
demonstrate his ability to make an
other comeback.
BIazed Trail
Since Dempsey started to blaze an
other comeback trail he has smashed
his way to victory after victory but
hardly against fighting men of the
Levinsky variety. Daring. cocksure
and the owner of a terrific wallop,
LevinSky was rated as the strongest
test on the comeback journey. He
has beaten fighters like Tommy
Loughran and Pauline Uzcudun, gave
Prima Camera a great battle even in
defeat and has worked hard for his
test against Dempsey, certain Of vic
tory.
Chicago, always a great show
ground for Dempsey. was excited
about the battle and record crowd
for an indoor professional boxing
match, approximately $4,000 specta-
tors, was expected to jam into the
punch bowl to watch it, bringing with
it a gross gate of about $4,000
Dempsey already was named the
winner at the box office with the
privilege of taking 60 per cent of the
gross gate and pay Levinsky $500 Or
take As per cent and leave Levinsky
Is per cent.
Another angle that gave tonight's
fight added Importance was the size
of the gloves to be used by the COM
batants. During his tour, Dempsey
has been using heavier gloves but to-
night he will don mittens of nine and
one-half ounce weight-plenty light
enough to give and receive knock
out punch.
Favor Dempsey
However, those who know Demp-
sey and the "KingfiSh" and who have
watched them both in their recent
ring battles were among overWhelm-
ingly in favor of Dempsey tonight.
They pointed out that the former
king of the heavyweights had too
much ring generalship. too much
speed and too much Of punch. even
now, for Levinsky. 1t was agreed
that Levinsky's only hope over the
short four round route was to land
one of his famous haymakers on
Dempsey's chin. If Dempsey can take
one of those Levinsky punches and
still go on to win. Chicago fight fans
will give him their personal approval
as real comeback artist.
Five other matches were on the
program, the Semi-windup involving
another duel in the National Boxing
associations light heavyweight cham
pionship elimination. 1t matches
Billy Jones' Philadelphia Negro, and
George Nichols, Buffalo southpaw.
over 10 rounds
But Dempsey was the big show al
though he wound up his fighting
statement with: Il hope to knock
Levinsky out with just one punch"
