From the second mark to where the
car stops is the braking distance or
the distance required to stop the car
after the brakes are applied. The
total of the two distances is the stop
ping distance, or the size of the dime.
Mr.. Pontious has conducted surveys
covering a large number of people,
which show that z out of 10 drivers
have no accurate conception of the
distance required to stop a car at the
various speeds.
"To be sure" commented Mr.. Pom
tious, information covering these dis
tances has been widely published and
distributed, but the fact remains that
the large majority of drivers either
don't know it or don't believe it.
Lack of knowledge on this vital point
is without question the outstanding
reason why excessive speed is the
greatest single cause of accidents"

Ambers Never Impressive
In His TRAINING Bouts.

Ambers has been fairly active, but
against lesser foes. And he, too, is as
fit as ever he was for an opening
bell. saw him at Carmel and 1 must
say that he wasn't as impressive as
Armstrong was at Pompton Lakes,
but then he never is, especially in his
training bouts. Many outstanding
fighters have been poor training
camp performers-Mickey Walker,
Gene Tunney, and, on occasion, even
Joe Louis. But they always have
been ready on the night of the fight,
which is the only thing that really
matters.
AS a matter of fact, Lou fire.
quently is not an impressive fighter
in the ring He has no sharply
etched style and no such seething
drive as Armstrong and he doesn't
catch the eye as many fighters do.
But he is busy fighter and win
ming fighter and beating him in an
important bout is no part of a cinch.
These tWo-Ambers and Armstrong
are among the best lightWeights to
come swinging along since the time
of Benny Leonard, which was one
of the bright periods in lightweight
history Neither is dynamic
puncher but each is wearing, pun
ishing hitter. The urge to fight is
strong in both of them and when
they meet head on again tonight,
they should put on roaring battle
in the old lightweight tradition,
which is one of the best the ring has
to offer.

Whe|an, Exc. u. Star
Made Head Coach
Al Iona Prep
Leader in Three Sports,
He Set Scoring Mark
For Cards on Grid
BY LEWIS ATCHISON.

Tom Whelan, one of the swiftest
and most colorful halfbacks in
Catholic University football annals
has signed as head coach of all
sports at Iona Prep, New Rochelle
N. Y, and will begin his new duties
September s, it was learned today
Whelan will replace Buck Free
man, prominent coach who gained
fame for his potent st. Johns OF
Brooklyn basket ball teams, who was
at Iona seven years. Freeman re-
signed, presumably to accept q
coaching berth at Long Island u.
and his success at the school will
give the incoming mentor a high
mark at which to shoot.
Coming to Brookland from All
HalloWs High School, N. Y, where
he earned an enviable reputation as
an all-around star of first magni-
tude, Whelan quickly justified ad-
vance reports of his proWess in his
sophomore year when he ran wild
against the Cardinals football oppo-
nents. He received all-America
mention, hung up District scor-
ing record of 80 points and was
ranked in the three top scorers of
Eastern collegiate grid circles.
Star in Three Sports.
His greatest football feat, however,
was scoring in Is consecutive games
against such opposition as Boston
College-when the Eagles were in the
forefront of college ranks; Holy
Cross and Detroit. Once in the
open, Whelan was we'll nigh unstop-
pable, as he demonstrated against
Loyola one Thanksgiving Day (old
calendar) when he returned punt
80 yards for a touchdown.
Whelan also won letters in basket
ball and baseball at Catholic U. and
later coached those sports in addi-
ton to football. He assisted "Fod'
Cotton on the court and DR.. John
Clark on the diamond Iona's new
mentor also absorbed much baseball
strategy under the late John Nc
Graw, who was at the New York
Giants helm when the freckle- faced
kid was bat boy for the National
Leaguers.
Whelan graduated with high
rank, and after a year in New York
returned to Washington and entered
the employ of the Maloney Concrete
Co. But coaching was his first love
and he managed to handle position
as end coach at Catholic U. during
the football season.
Faces Tough Schedule.
At Iona he will have his task cut
out for him. for the New Yorkers
engage formidable opponents in all
branches of sport. Georgetown
Prep, Fordham Prep, Manhattan
Freshmen, and All Hallows are few
of the schools appearing on its
schedule.
Whelan is married and has one
son, Patrick. 2 years old, who ap-
pears to have the makings of good
halfback, although he'll have to 20
some to beat the old gentleman's S
speed.

MERTON, Pa, Aug. 22.-A couple
of kids from California, Jack Kra-
mer and Welby Van Horn, gained
favor today for the coveted-if
slightly suicidal-doubles assign
ment on the United States Davis
Cup team.
New stars on the international
tennis horizon, the 18-year-olds took
the courts at Merton Cricket Club
yesterday confidence they will help
America defend the cup there in
the challenge round Labor Day
week end.
Whoever gets the doubles call will
feel like an untried heavyweight
going in the ring with Joe Louis,
for their opponents are almost sure
to be Adrian Quist and John Brom-
wich, Australias magnificent pair.
But the prospect doesn't feaze the
Coast youngsters. All they want is
chance.
Hope to Win on Merit.
I'VE hope to prove to Mr.. Pate
(Walter Pate, team captain) that on
merit alone we stand as the most
logical choice" the kids chorused
AS for Quist-Bromwich, Kramer
Van Horn said
You can't beat them at tactics.
You've got to drive them of the
courts"
Bruce Barnes, American coach,
looked pleased at the youngsters
performance, but was careful not
to anticipate Pate's decisions. The
team captain said he would not an
nounce his four selections until
next Sunday at the earliest
Pate named Van Horn and Kra-
mer to the squad yesterday in a sur
prise move tennis followers believe
was motivated by the stiff battle
the California combination gave
Quist and BromWich in the national
doubles championship at Brookline,
Mass. Until then, Bobby Riggs and
Joe Hunt seemed the most likely
choices for the doubles assignment.
Newport Field Unimpressive.
NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. % LR-
The field in the 23d Newport Casino
tennis tournament settled down to-
day to the important task of produc-
ing one singles player and possibly
doubles combination for the
United States defense of the Davis
Cup.
Before Walter L. Pate, the Davis
Cup teams non-playing captain, de-
parted for Merton, Pa. with six
man squad he promised he would
not come to any final decision until
all returns were in from the Casino
tourney.
Pate's sharp-eyed agents saw
nothing to become excited about
yesterday as the starting field of
l04, which included seven foreign
players, waded through the first two
rounds. The only important alb
sentee was the third-seeded Elwood
Cooke of Portland, Greg, who was
detained at Brookline, Mass, by the
postponed national mixed doubles
final, in which he and Mrs. Sarah
Palfrey Fabyan were defeated by
Alice Marble of California and Har-
ry Hopman of Australia.
Although five of the seven for
eign seeded players were elimi-
mated in yesterdays action none was
impressive enough to bolster his
countrys Davis Cup hopes Eleven
of the twelve seeded homebreds,
who were topped by Don McNeill
of Oklahoma City, swung into &C
ton, and only one of them, sixth
ranking Johnny Doeg of Rumson,
N. j., failed to pass the initial test.
While they were gaining the third
round, however, none displayed any
skill that would comfort the ha-
rassed Pate.

The
SPORTLIGH7
Ambers Is Fiercest
After Being Beaten
By GRANTLAND RICE.


NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. % (N.A.
N.AD.-It will be the second time
around for Henry Armstrong and
Lou Ambers tonight in the Yankee
Stadium. Armstrong, who took the
lightweight championship from Am
bers a year ago, is favored to win
again, but the second time around
against Ambers always has been a
perilous trip for the Herkimer Hur-
ricane's opponent. Lou is rugged
and game little guy and comes back
from a defeat with his head held
high and his fists sWirllng.
In their fight last summer the
issue was close-so close there were
many who thought Ambers won.
Armstrong got off in front and for
a while it looked as if Ambers, who
was knocked down twice, couldn't t
last the distance, but he fired back
courageously, opened a frightful
cash in Henry's lower lip, battered
him badly at short range in the
latter rounds and came closer to
beating him than anybody else
since Henry hit the front rank as
q fighter.
I thought the decision was right
and that Armstrong had won. But
there was room for argument, eSpe-
cially where the condition, of the
two boys at the finish was con-
cerned. Henry had to go to a doc
tors Office to have some fancy
stitching done on his lower lip and
both eyelids. Ambers went to his
hotel, where, until o'clock in the
morning, he was host at party of
his friends. I know because I saw
him there. He didn't have drink
himself-he never had a drink in
his life. But he was hustling about,
seeing to it that everybody else had
one. If the hammering about the
body he had taken and the hooks
that had exploded against his chin
had hurt him, he gave no sign of it,
I've never seen fighter come
through a grueling fray so we'll
remembering that there were some
early rounds in which it. didn't look
as if he could survive the blasts that
Henry turned loose at him.

Armstrong Strong and Fost
And His Hands Are Okoy.

Since he fought Ambers, Henry
has had two important fights
with Ceferino Garcia here and with
Ernie Roderick in London. He
also fought Davey Day in New
York. This wasn't an important
fight, but in it he cracked his left
hand again and there is some
question as to how sound it is even
now.
He has had rest of three months
or so since the Roderick fight and
he insists his hands are all right.
To protect them, in his boxing at
Pompton Lakes he wore a sponge
under the tape on the knuckles of
each hand. And to those who
feared that the .unaccustomed lay
off would hurt him, he gave an I'M
pressive answer by the sharpness
with which he boxed and the speed
with which he punched.
There was some talk about the
difficulty he was having making
weight but this soon was exposed as
sheer Nallyhoo. He is at weight and
he rong and fast. He may have
bee. n better shape for a fight at
some time, but I doubt it.

Henry Delivers HeroicoIly
Under Severe Handicap.

For Henry it must be said that
he came through heroically under
a terrific handicap: Two bad hands
and a mouth that had been cut
during sparring drill and that was
lacerated by Louis uppercuts.
Bad hands never have seemed
to bother him greatly. He won three
titles with them and defended two
of them-he outgrew the feather
weight title as soon as he had won
1t and let it slide. But they must
have bothered him more than any
body ever knew, because hammer
ing away with cracked bones and
tender knuckles doesn't come under
the head of pleasure.
The cut in his mouth almost
wrecked him. Fearing that if the
referee saw too much of the blood
that boilded in his mouth he would
stop the fight, he swallowed it
round after round and so became
nauseated. Sick and scarcely able
to breathe, he kept banging away
and when he had finished he was
lightweight champion of the world.
