Carl Sachs Is another Of the
Sachs family whose name has
been linked with sports events at
Tech High School.
Carl, like his brother George,
who Is still remembered as one
Of the best footballers in the his
tory Of Tech elevens, plays foot
ball, too.
But he specializes in track and
hopes to develop into quite q point
winner for Coach Hap Hardell
this year. Sachs speciality is the
javelin.
He is one Of the few holdovers
from Hardell's great 1885 team
and should be the point getter he
hopes to be, If a little matter like
experience and polish means any
thing.
In football last fall, Carl was
quite dependable. He won a reg.
ular berth after the first few inter
high games and promised to be
as good q ball carrier as was his
brother George-ALl-High man sew

Norway swept through two events

Charley Mathiesen and Ivar Bal

Then it ran one-two- three in the
Combination" ski event and added
one more point for sixth.
Finland broke through for seven
scattered points during the gen.
eral excitement but the best
America could do was the three
points Of Leo Freisinger, Chicago

performance. The old Olympic
record was 2::20 $40.
Then Hagen, Hoffabakker, and
Brodahl made a sweep of the ski
event, Norway'S grand total
mounting to 80 points.
Germany, having stood still for
two days, remained second with
81 points, with Finland third at

Olympic Hockeyists
ToConsider Change
In Awarding Title

Observation-Disclosures,
Feb. 1S.-Ice hockey, the boiling
pot of the Olympic winter sports
repast, was to have a further re-
hashing tonight with the calling
Of another meeting to consider
the Canadian protest against the
system Of awarding the title in
this event. There have been un-
confirmed reports that Canada
will bolt the games with its
champion hockey team unless the
rule in this respect is changed.
This is complicated rule,
whereby, under the round-robin
system, the results Of semifinal
meetings are to stand for the
finals. In this way, Canada,
having been unexpectedly beaten
by England the other day, would
start the final round one game
down to the other teams. More
over, since the rule says that one
team need not beat another twice
in order to prove supremacy, Eng
land wouldn't be required to
meet Canada in the final series.
It was considered probable that
the rule will be changed to make
the final pool" q separate COM
petition and require all teams to
play each other.

Concentrates on Hurdlers
For the present, Coach Boyd

is to jump q few times over the
hurdles to get his eye in trim and

As to the sprint candidates,
Boyd's only alternative is to wait
until warmer weather arrives.
Then he will be able to ''let 'em
go" for all they are worth around
the well-constructed Eastern High
cinder path.
Coach Boyd hasn't q great deal
to look forward to in so far as
experienced talent is concerned.
In the sprints. he has Ralph
Bucca as q holdover from 1895.
Bucca finished second in the 100

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-After
thinking very deeply for several
days. Mr.. Joe Gould was able to
announce what steps he planned
to take in the interests of seeing
that James ]. Braddock is ade
uuately challenged for the worlds
heavyweight championship this
year, absolutely without fail.
Mr.. Gould. as Braddock's man
ager, simply will not stand for
any shilly-shallying and irresolu.
ton on this.
Joe Louis Is to go in there and
hit Braddock with his Saturday
Sunday and haf-hohday punch
as previously understood by all, OF
Mr.. Gould viii take steps. said
he, darkly.
Demand Acceptance
To this end, it seems that he's
going down to the boxing com
mission presently and demand that
the challenger accept the cham
pion's def.
The law, it appears, has nc
right to deny a man the privilege
of losing the heavyweight cham
pionship and, II the challenger
doesn't want to step up there and
take his victory like a man, there
should be ways Of making him.
If that doesn't work, then Mr.
Gould means to have BraddocE
pursue Louis and Max Schmeline
all the way into the ring at the
Yankee Stadium in June and
challenge the winner over the
loud speaker.
"The commission must recOg-
nize that We have some rights,
said MIR. Gould, mOrOsely!S "The
Louis people say they don't ex-
pect to fight for the champion
shin until 1887. Loo Jacobs
then comes along and says the
same thing for Schmeling.
"What is the cOmissiOn going
to license this fight for, if not
to establish who the challenger
is? And il he's the challenger,
why doesn't he get to it? Brad
dock il supposed to sit around
for "a months and wait for
these guys to make all the
money, is that It,
STEPS UP TO MIKE
"Wen, II the commission
doesn't make . stand on this
when the contracts come up be-
fore it, let's see what the public
says when Braddock steps up
to the micrOphOne and tells
everybody that these guys are
giving him the run around.

Ienge the challenger. But it

Except for the fact it is re-

George Blaeholder, instead Of
letting him 60 to Cleveland on

Owner Lou Comiskey is
thinking Of moving home plate
at Chicago back where it was
before it was set nearer the
