HOPPE TO RETURN
TO BILLIARD WARS
Faces Tremendous Handicap
In Defending Worlds Three
Cushion Championship

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-R-Willie
Hoppe, having conquered pneumo-
mia, returns to the billiard wars to-
morrow night in defense of the
worlds three cushion championship
facing a tremendous handicap.
This amazing 53-year-old coam-
pion must play II games in II
days to catch up with II rivals who
have been in the title competition
two weeks while he was combating
illness. His admirers say he has
the stamina and iron nerve to over-
haul the field.
Hoppe was stricken as he was
rounding out a successful defense
Of his title against Jake Schaefer
Of Cleveland in a 480-point chal-
lenge match.
Hoppe, displaying the same form
he showed last year in winning the
title, rolled up a prchibitive lead
on Schaefer, but collapsed at the
table before the match was ended.
His rival, however, conceded he
had retained the crown.
His initial opponent tomorrow
night will be young Herbert Peter
son Of st. Louis, a rookie in big
time competition who hasn't wor a
game in II previous tournament
contests.
Hoppe doubtless will play the in
experienced and less talented en-
trants while regaining his inccm-
parable touch"
Naturally, his opponents fear the
worst. Last year he moved down
this same field. He won 20 str IL 5ht
games, finishing ~undefeated and
with a new record for average
even more remarkable feat COM
ing, as it did, 80 years after he won
his first worlds title in 1906.
Based on their play in the cur
rent tournament, Hopes most
dangerous rivals figure to be Otto
Reiselt, Philadelphia; Art Thurn-
blad, Kenosha, Wis; Welker Coch-
ran, San Francisco all former
champions; Jay Bozeman, Vale
jo, Calf; Allen Hall. Chicago, and
Schaefer, runner-up last year, and
also a former champion. !

Coach Wade said. First, there is

observation-disclosures"
"Athletics does many things in

physically. In athletics a player
learns to forget himself. He learns
to be loyal and unselfish; he learns
that when one takes unfair ad-

SCHMELINC STILL
THINKS HE'S GOOD
German Fighter, Although a
Parachute Trooper, Has
Not Quit the Ring
BY ANGUS

BERLIN, Jan. 27.-R-"Soldat''
NJ, Schmeling still has. a pretty high
regard for the boxing ability of Max
Schmeling, former world heavy
weight champion.
Though he was stopped by Cham
pion Joe Louis in n round the last
time they met, he would concede the
Brown Bomber nothing o today
than that hes still the best man
you've got over there" He wasn't,
obviously, cutting himself out of the
world picture.
Schmeling, though now a "fallsch-
irmajaeger" parachute trooper),
hasn't quit the ring. While he point
ed out there was no chance of his
making another trip to the United
States at present, even though he'd
like to, there still is a possibility he
NAV defend his European heavy
weight title.
1t was with this in mind that
Schmeling, a guest of the Berlin sta
dunn together with some 20 other
parachute troopers, sat in on yester-
davis battle between Walter Neusel
and Adolf Heuser. Max, who beat
Neusel in nine rounds in 1884 and
stopped Heuser in Y seconds in 1883,
studied the two closely as Neusel
slugged his way to victory, explain
ing he might meet n or the other
on some future date.
tits not decided definitely yet
said Der Max, whether the army
will give me furlough to train" I'm
der German boxing rules, Schmeling
must defend the title within a spe'
Gifted time or give it up.
He would say little about his &C
tivities as a parachute trooper be-
vond the statement that cit takes
Just as much training as it does to
be a boxer To all further questions
he simply smiled and said, you'd
better not ask me about that" then
he chuckled at the interviewer's dis
appointment.
The Black Uhlan belittled the leg
injury he received while. training fol
parachute jumping. He said the leg
had healed completely, in spite OF
talk in Berlin that the break had
been serious, and showed no signs OF
a. limp. He moved around as spryly
as he ever did in the ring.
Before the Neusel-Heuser bout be
gan, the crowd spotted Schmeline
and besieged him for autographs
Then a spotlight picked out the ex'
champion and the loudspeaker blarec
for silence as he came up to the ring
to be introduced.
1--WE have the pleasure to introduce
the former world champion, MAJ
Schmeling, who is a parachute troop
volunteer said the announcer. Max
trim and broad-shouldered and look
ing more fit than ever as a result
of his military training, skipped
through the ropes and trotted to the
center of the ring. He clicked his
heels in true Prussian fashion, ane
snapped out a Nazi salute to the foul
sides of the hall. He was dressed ir
civilian clothes, and one fan shouted
where's that uniform"
The crowd laughed good-natured
ly. Then it was "Unser Max" (Oul

May Be Drafted By u. S.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 27.-P -
Ted Williams, youthful smuggling

the American Baseball league, may
find himself in an army uniform

The Minneapolis draft board,
where he is registered, Informed

in his selective service question
naire, said he was sole support OF

Williams also said today he has
heard further from Eddie Collins,
vice president of the Boston Red
Sox, concerning his 1941 contract,
and has replied to the Bosox Of

HICKS COPS MEDAL
IN FLORIDA MEET
California Golfer Clips Five
Strokes Off Course Record
At Coral Gables

CORAL GABLES, Fla, Jan. a.
R-Diminutive Elizabeth Hicks of
Pasadena, Calf, made both women's
par and the course record look ridi-
culous today as she whipped out a
startling IA that easily won the quail
fying medal in the 10th annual Mi
ami Biltmore tournament.
Miss Hicks clipped five strokes off
the record and three off par to IN
stall herself a strong favorite to
succeed Patty Berg as the Biltmore
ruler. Miss Berg, since turned pro-
fessional, had won the tournament
five times in a row..
TWO other golfers-Marion Mlley
of Lexington, KY, and Grace Amory
of Palm Beach - e q a e the
women's record of 70 set in 1884 by
Maureen circuit and tied in 1889 by
Dorothy Kirby of Atlanta, but it was
Elizabeth's day.
Hitting a tremendous ball for her
five-foot stature, Miss Hicks scored
six brides and an eagle with superb
iron shots and accurate chipping
She easily might have equalled OF
bettered mems par of II except fol-
lapses on four holes.
The eagle came on the 440-yard
fifth, where she reached the green
in two shots and dropped a 15-foot
putt. She pushed her drive into the
rough on the par five 18th, hit a
palm tree with her second ano
wound up with a Z.
Miss Kirby and Jane Cothran OF
Greenville, S. c., runnerup in the
last night tournament, qualified with
S2's. Louise Suggs of Lithia Springs,
Ga, who defeated Miss Hicks in the
recent Punta Gorda finals, scored
an 80.
