Man WrestIes Bear
As Novelties Tilt
Paralysis Fund
Benefit Court Contest
Heals Break Between
Midwest Colleges
BY BILL WHITE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-There was
a near riot at basket ball game in
Newark. A ski meet had to be can
celed for lack of snow the same day
that wrestling match in Rich
mond, Va, was postponed because
of a record breaking snowfall. Fort
Wayne, Ind, staged wrestling
match between man and bear.
Those and hundred other cases
tell graphically how the world of
sport had fun while raising funds
for the Nationwide fight against
infantile paralysis.
Proves Exceptionally Generous.
The National Sports Council of
the Committee for the Celebration
of the Presidents Birthday said,
'The world of sports, ever generous,
has outdone itself this time
And, as proof, they staged a bas-
ket ball game on roller skates in
Golden, Colo.
The committee was pleased to
learn that at least one old feud had
been forgotten in this greatest of all
sports charity drives. Western 1lli-
nois State Teachers College and
Illinois College of Jacksonville had
not competed in any sport for five
years-but they will play basket
ball game tonight for the fund:
Tomorrow, or soon thereafter,
athletic directors of the schools will
meet to plan resumption of foot
ball, basket ball, baseball and track
series.
Basket Ball Sets Pace.
Some 656 benefit events of every
type have been reported to the Ma
tional Council-with basket ball
leading the way. Some 494 games
have been set aside; 625 high schools
and 213 colleges have agreed to
dedicate at least one event this
winter to the fund.
And 106 sports editors have told
the committee they are sponsoring
benefits.
Basket ball, boxing, wrestling, ice
carnivals, swimming horse shows,
golf and on down to weight lifting
all are represented on the charity
calendar.
The small towns have been as
helpful, or more so, than the big
ones. High schools at Buffalo Gap,
S. Oak. population 1889, and
Cavour, s. Oak. population 1867, /,
played benefit games, and the whole
town turned out for a basket ball
battle ct Poquenock Bridge, Conn.

Campo|o Is Punished
But Shows Promise
Beating Robinson
Takes Plenty for Eight
Rounds, Then Scores
T.K.O. in Ninth
BY the Associated Press.

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 30.-James
Joy Johnston, the old ''boy bandit"
and ballyhooer of heavyweights, was
overstating just bit in billing VAL
entin Campolo as a new Wild Bull
of the Pampas," but he wasn't kid
ding when he said his new importa-
ton was glutton for punishment.
AS a heavyweight sensation, the
latest wild Bull" was no Luis Angel
Firpo last night. But in stopping
Big Jim Robinson of Philadelphia
in nine rounds before crowd OF
$500, he showed world of courage,
a decided liking for rough going and
considerable ability once he warmed
up to his task.
For eight rounds Robinson
punched him around as though he
were going to send the bull right
back home to pasture in the Argen-
tine. Then, in the eighth, Valentin
tossed few bombs at the body,
which the 218-pounder from the
City of Brotherly Love didn't like
at all. Out came Valentin in the
ninth, dropped Robinson in a neu-
trail corner for a nine count with two
rights, and, when Big Jim got up
again, fired away with both hands
until Referee Paul Cavalier stepped
in and halted the hostilities.
Campolo, 224-pounder who
showed in this country way back in
80 in four successful preliminary
bouts, got of to a bad start when
a series of right-hand shots nailed
him in the first round and opened
a cut between his eyebrows.
It took him several heats to come
out Of that, but once he did, he was
labeled okaY by the fans and writer's.

Sutherland Expects to Keep
Winning Record as Coach
OF Pro Grid Dodgers

calber of teams on Panther
schedules.
His often expressed opposition to
paid grid performers caused sur
prise among some fans by accept
ance of the Brooklyn job, but the
pro world had only praise for the
long-reported deal.
1T is one of the finest steps the
league has made" commented Pres
ident Carl L. Storck of the National
circuit. 1T brings a fine man and
the No. l football coach in the
country to the league"
Salary Said to Be $4,000.
Owner Art Rooney of the Pitts
burgh pro Pirates echoed the
thought. He tried to sign Suther-
land at $500 a year and 20 per
cent of the profits. Brooklyn re-
portedly gave Jock $4,000 along
with bonus arrangement. The fig
ure is just $1,000 under what Pitt
is said to have paid him.
Millionaire Topping beamed over
his conquest, declaring he was
"tickled to death" to get Sutherland
and that every effort would be made
to provide his new coach with the
best available material.
He expressed confidence that such
stellar collegians of the 1889 season
as Nile Kinnick of Iowa and Banks
McFadden of Clemson would be
lured to the Dodger roster despite
statements that both intended shun-
ming the paid ranks.
Actual signing of Sutherland at a
New York banquet for newspaper
men tomorrow will make him the
successor to George Potsy) Clark,
former Illinois star, who in three
years never got the Dodgers higher
than third place in the Eastern di-
vision of the National loop.

Aesociotad praSe Cnortc yUriSor


PITTSBURGH, Jan. 30.-Jock
Sutherland is turning pro at the
risk of one of the best football
coaching records in the business.
The 50-year-old Scot who directed
Pitt Grid destinies for Is years has
accepted a 3-year contract to pilot
the Brooklyn Dodgers Of the Ma
tional Professional League.
II never coached a loser and I
hope to continue that record" de-
clared the bachelor dental instruc-
tor long famous as a maker of ALL
Americans.
IF I did not believe I could make
a go of pro football I certainly
would not have assumed my new
position. No one likes to win any
more than I do and I will try my
utmost to give Brooklyn fans a
winner"
Writers Glad He's Signed.
And that comes from an affable
fellow who thinks football has been
good to me- what with an enviable
collegiate record of IA victories, IA
ties and only % defeats in 20 years.
He coached five years at Lafayette
before going to Pitt.
Sports writers sighed in relief
with announcement yesterday of
Sutherland's hiring by Dodger
Owner Dan Topping. Ever since
