IOWA MEN WIN GREAT HONORS
 IN NEW YORK
Kinnick Gets H eis m an Trophy--AndersOn Voted
 Coach of the Year,
BY JACK CUDDY United Press staff CorrespOndent)

NOhhtcu EEeSS 0HhAt OOrFe8pOuUeubI
 New York, Dec. 7.--(UP)-The city of New York, and its 100000 inhabitants, who rarely go over- board about anything, surrendered completely today to those two mid- western Titans: Nile Kinnick and pr. Eddie Anderson.
 Young Kinnick was recognized last night as Americas outstanding foot- ball player at the Downtown Ath. letic clubs annual dinner, and to- day, Eddie Anderson was proclaimed the football coach of the year by the New York World Telegram.
 What captivated the metropolis was this: Both Kinnick and An. derson represent the same univer- sity-Iowa. Never before has one institution provided these two lia. tional pigskin champions. That's why they were singing today--fron the Battery to the Bronx-"That's Where the Tall Corn Grows"
 Amazing
 Either honor is sufficient to cap- tivate the sports minded in the worlds largest city But when both come from the same bailiwick, Iowa U., at Iowa City, the me- tropolis is just naturally hog-tied. And-when the principals are grand guys like Kinnick and Anderson little cid New York is quite ready to break out in metallic rash and give away as many city keys as there are corn stalks in the state of Iowa.
 Young Kinnick. Iowa's ace halfs back who was voted America's outs standing football player by some TOO sports writers and broadcasters, achieved his last and greatest touch- down last night in his speech of acceptance for the Heisman me. morial trophy award at the Down. town A. c.
 Kinnick who caught the great Bob Teller of baseball fame in his high school Adel-Van Meter days, blast- ed New Yorks chronic banqueteers right out of their lethargy last night when he stood completely poised before the mike" and treated his surprised listeners to one of the grandest eXtemporaneou talks ailys one ever gave off in this area.
 Well-WOrded
 Kinnick was doubly impressive bee cause he went in for teamwork from two angles. He. tried to shift the honors bestowed upon him to CD his Iowa teammates whom he de- scribed as the "guttiest" guys ever to play football, and t2) Coach Ed- die Anderson, who, in his first year at the Iowa helm, guided the Hawk. eyes to one of the most successful seasons they have enjoyed in years.
 Anderson, when he was called to the mike made virtually the same lateral. He credited Kinnick and the team with whatever success Iowa might have had in 1899. And that success was so great and so unex- pected that Anderson was picked as the coach of the year in the World Telegram poll, which cons prised the ballots of 30 colelge pig skin pilots.

 The North End spartans held their
 dance enjoying all sorts of funny
 pranks,
 B. Hackett, the Macs and the rest
 put the boys up to their stiffest
 dancing test.
 Now let's think about our coming
 sport and be physically At and
 able to report.
 Well 1t seems as though football is dropping out of season and basket ball is being ushered in. It won't be long now before basketball really gets underway. While looking through my scrap book took time to count the number of victories the spartans held last year. The club won 34 and lost 10 which is not at all e bad record.
 The Spartans are very anxious to enter into senior league this year. It usually is in the North End "" league but there is little doubt as to whether there will be any league at the hut this year. The clubs are plentiful but simply due to the fact that an age limit is required, 1t is rather difficult for some of these cdubs are not quite old enough for the senior looop, which makes 1t tough going for the Spartans and the other few senior teams. Now we turn our attention to the N. E. Var sity which will be a team to watch this year even if there isn't going to be @ senior league for Wednesday night attractions. I'm sure the Var sity will have all the recognition of the north end on those great Satur- day and Sunday thrillers. We leave 1t to you, the Varsity, to display the north end talent.
 For every good break there seems to come a bad one. Tn this case 1t Is Chick Ramon. Everything was going along swell. then Chick felt a slight pain in his tooth. Later he found himself seated in a comfort able seat in one of the downtown offices. Yes, 1t was that of @ dentist. After the yanking of the tooth Chick looked as though he was gagged, his jaw was swollen and what not. He is nursing his jaw at the moment and We hope he is better for our game Saturday night.
 Joe Bridge" Gallagher, our real typical kid of today has left his serv- ices with Leavenworth and has made definite plans to play with the Spar tans this coming campaign.
 As the babbling brook goes on so does Ed Lowe. Ed is blabbing about his left hand hook shot. Well I guess we'll have to admit 1t, he really has perfected beauty.
 Jim Roach has turned his atten- ton to coaching the newly formed Dixie club. To top that Tom Gull linina is Q world wonder when 1t comes to suggestions. His sugges- tions for socials thus far this year seem to be favored by all members.
 Joe and Al Began, stellar guards for the Spartans expect to be in great form for the coming season. Joe is brushing up on side shots and all Al seems to be practicing on, is his foul shooting.
 Harry Liebeck seemed to be the life of the party and dance last week. He displayed his great dancing abil- ity and we hope he is just ast fast when taking part in a basketball game.

TURCOTTE AND PEpE MEET FOR
 THIRD BATTLE
SOuthpaw Stars to Shine Tonight at New Haven;
 Marsh Meets Bell

New Haven, December 2. - south- paw dynamite will be touched off at the Arena tonight when Dick Turcotte, Waterbury F'renchmaa, comes to grips with George Pope, Meriden Tornado, in the 10 round main event on a low priced all-pro fight card. The fireworks will start at 8:30 o'clock.
 Indications were that a large crowd would be on hand for the froy, as @ block of 100 tickets have already been sold to Waterbury fans, with a group of 30 going to Meri- den. This pair of pleasing welter- weights will enter the ring on even terms in the betting, despite the fact that Turcotte is credited with two wins over Pope. However, the last one, and eight-round decision re- ceived here two months ago, was highly unpopular, Pope, almost knocking out Turcotte in Q wild fourth round. The winner of this match may be given a crack at Bat Battalino, who was held to a draw py Pepe nefe @ montn ago.
 !. Marsh vs Bell
 Doug Marsh, clever Canadian well terweight, will box Jimmy Bell, New Haven, in one of two six-rounders. Turcotte lost his only pro fight in ie starts to Marsh last month. Willie Andrews, New Haven, meets Baby face Morris, Danbury welterweight, in another six, the pair having fought @ furious draw recently.
 Johnny Devore, Bridgeport, meets Midget Renault, local lightweight, in four, while Bill Conklin, New Ha- ven, takes on Billie Towne, Spring. field middleweight, and George Jor- dan, Springfield, is paired with Tommy Ciarlo Waterbury junior welterweight, in another prelim.

 After the matches, we were stand- ing near e group of the Veterans of the League who were figuring the standing and the unanimous opinion Of all of them was that in ali their experience they had never partici- pated in such tight race. All agreed that with the half-way mark nearly reached and only eight points separating the teams in first and last place. 1t was something which only happens once in Q generation. Especially when you realize that there are twenty teams and @ huii- dred bowlcrs in this league.

 We try to bring each of the bowl CTS into the spot light occasionally which of course is quite Q task, 90 if any one is overlooked, we are sor- ry, One of these whom we have ii1- Knowingly been negiecting Is Joe May. So what did Joe do but force our hand by rolling 370 and taking the high individual three string prize. Then there is J. Anthony Col. ucci, who doesn't like to see his name in print so all he does IS lead his team in Q three point victory over Benneh Goidstein'S strong Col lectorg.
 And don't faint when we tell you that Charlie Baxter rolled 120 for one of his games and 3l2 for his three games. This is Charles life- time high. Do we stand corrected? Nay, Nay, say the gang.
 The Thin Man Who Wasn't There
 If you don't know 1t, the league secretary takes up the teams fees as well as bowling on one of the teams. After looking at his income sheet near the end of his last game he dis covered that Sales A had not as yet turned in it's fees so hehustled up- stairs to where he had seen the Sales boys battling the Sales Engn- neers but-lo and beholdl the only one in sight was Frank Mcintyre.
