 New York, April 17-(UP)- Putting the sports shot here and there:
 Frank Wykoff is a professor of science at the Moran school Tn Atascadero, wherever that is, and won't coach athletics as he desires, to protect his amateur standing. George Pocock of Seattle, na- tionally known builder of racing shells, never had javelin in his hand until Coach Hec Edmundson of Washington's track team. asked him to construct one that wouldn't break. Pocock's first javelin stood the test of being tossed against brick walls, on stone-like ground and driven into wood. Speak ing of the U. of Washington, it's varsity football team may have the heaviest center in the business next fall in Ted Isaacson, 2G5- pound tackle.
 Ken Nash, coach of the Tufts college baseball team. is Judge Kenneth l.. Nash of the Quincy, Mass. district court. . Hank Gowdy, Boston Braves pitchers coach, thinks there should be d heated compartment to every dug out. Says it's foolish to bake pitch ers' arms out in the sunny south and then take them north and let them sit in dark. bleak dugouts. Brother Gilbert, who dis covered" Babe Ruth at Baltimore industrial school some 20 years ago, is now head of a boys high school at Maiden, Mass.
 One of the few millionaires who really rank among the top-notch bowlers of the country is Wooster Lambert. St Louis mouth wash manufacturer. You know. the one that takes onion off a knife, cures dandruff and relieves your closest friend of a great embarrassment. Lambert has almost 200 average over an eight year period in A. E. C.. tournaments. Ira Dern, husky Utah wrestler. is taking boxing lessons and plans to sur prise some of his rivals when they start slugging.
 Al Jolson assertedly offered $25,- 900 to Pete Reilly for the contract of Freddie Miller. N. B. A. feath- erweight champion. Reilly re- fused, saying he wouldn't part with Freddie for $100.000. In Siam all boxing rounds are five minutes and all bouts are for eleven rounds. Few go the limit. for a blow from any part of the body to any other part of the body is legal. A man-made motorboat speedway of ss mile has been constructed at Venice. Calf. with grandstand accommodations for 10000. The Yale university baseball diamond is one of the fin- est in the country, big league fields included, according to Babe Ruth, who should know. s
 Old time ball fans. who remem- ber the days when Joe Wood shot 'em across for the Boston Red Sox may see another Joe Wood on the mound. Joe Junior Is on the Hillhouse high school squad in New Haven, and his dad. now Yale coach, says he has plenty of stuff. a nice pitching action and looks up for practice the other day wearing the uniform that was his dads in the 1912 series the one when Snodgrass dropped the ball. Jealous of their pres- tige, or something, the promoters of the country's finest outdoor re- lays-those at Penn and Drake have again arranged to hold their contests on identical dates. thus preventing some fine athletes from competing in. .j. Connecticut horse players will continue to do their betting in bedrooms and barber ships, as the legislature turned down a bill to legalize the sport.
