Hopes. "Home Work"

HOPES home work." by which he
keeps his billiard game up to the
mark, is done on one Of the new
streamlined tables. with its twilight
purple cloth. which may be in turn
a billiard table. a pocket billiards
table, or. with special cover, a ping
pong surface or buffet.
One point mentioned earlier in this
discussion should be explained in
Hopes own words. He said, you re-
member, that. in contrast to the shots
OF extreme delicacy, there are some
in which the second object ball is
more than Z inches wide.
How about that, Mr.. Hoppe?
The second object ball is in the
corner" Willie explained. 1T is equi-
distant from the cushions. a little
more than the width of the ball from
each cushion. The ball is a full 2ss
inches in diameter, 2 1854 inches, to
be exact
THE cue ball, We will say, has
struck the first object ball and COM
pleted the three cushions necessary
for the point before it approaches
the second object ball.
1T can strike the second object
ball going into the corner, or
coming out.
so you have the width of the sec
ond object ball and twice the width Of
the cue ball to figure on. Three times
1854 inches is 1854 inches,
which is a comfortable leeway. You
don't have that leeway on all shots. "
How true. Mr.. Hoppe, how true!

BRUNDAGE DRIVES
FOR OLYMPIC COIN
Dives Into Task First Day
Back-TeIIs of Germans
Fine Preparations.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, February 26.-The
nj American Olympic Committee,
with its president, Avery
4 Brundage Of Chicago, back in
this country, today was confronted
with two big problems.
One, and the more important at the
moment, was the task Of raising some
5000, 900 to send the American team
to Berlin this Summer. The other was
whether to hold the track and field
trials at Randalls Island Stadium in
New York or transfer them to Boston
or Princeton.
Brundage, back with glowing reports
OF the preparations being made by the
Germans, plunged into the task of
raising the money by exhorting the
Olympic Committee to give its fullest
cooperation.
Sees 1t as Big Job.
TT WILL not be an easy task" de-
clared Brundage in an informal
talk before the committee last night.
1T never has and we should not leave
stone unturned. We are self-sus-
tanning but at least one third of the
Olympic teams are subsidized by their
governments"
The greater share OF the money will
be raised by local committees and or
ganizations having representatives on
the teams. Brundage said he expected
the track and field trials to net SIS, 900.
however, while the basket ball finals in
Madison Square Garden April 3, 4 and
5 should add several thousands to the
general fund.
The locale of the track and field
finals cannot be definitely settled for
several months. The new stadium,
which the City of New York is erecting
on Randalls Island in the East River,
tentatively had been selected as the
site. Now the question has arisen
whether the stadium and the Tri-Boro
Bridge. which will connect the island
with the mainland, will be completed
in time for the trials July 1o-l1.

Il of Spring. just before the an

apparent. Instead of having a welter
of details and disagreeable arguments
to clear up, the association as tourna-
ment time approaches this year is all
set for constructive effort.
When the chronic critics of the as
sociation have nothing else to squawk
about they harp on the salary paid
Arville Ebersole as secretary. Eber-
sole's post Is worth four or five hum
dred bucks year. but we know men,
and not lazy ones either, who wouldn't
handle his task for twice the pay.
It appeared at last election time
that Ebersole would lose out, what
with the strong support for Ben Nc
Alwee, who put on campaign of
which Jim Farley wouldn't be
ashamed. Nearly unseated, Arville
took immediate and smart steps to
avert struggle for the post next sea-
son, for Ben McAlwee isn't the sort
who gives up after one setback. The
secretary got the association to hire
Ben as publicity man with the result
that today Ebersole has in McAlwee
not only an ardent, efficient aide, but
personal friend. Two guys who
might have become bitter enemies

tongs to give Washington its biggest
bowling tournament of all time. And
to wipe away completely whatever
friction might have existed, Eb and
Ben have become business partners.
They've taken over the Duckpin Rec

is in the hands of the typos.
The next job on the hands OF Eber-
sole and McAlwee Is to promote the
annual Masonic Knights of Columbus
