PAINTERS LOOK ANEMIC
 AGAINST CARNEGIE TECH

 The boys were very cooperative as Doc checked blood counts, lungs and hearts. Conclusion = basketball is not detrimental to health. His reports on fatigue at last years coaches meetings were highly Illuminating.
 Pitt looked decidedly anemic against the Skibos. The Techs won their first game in two years, 46-44.
 Doc had a field day. He walked of the floor midway in the first half and chated amiably with some kibitzers in the rear of the gymnasium. Trainer Howard Waite

the PGA is one of the few organi- zations doing it's part by the war without asking compensation in the headlines or at the box-offlce.
 The PGA is contributing from its winter swing, it has arranged an imposing schedule of exhibition matches and 1t has pledged the net proceeds of its annual champion ship to war relief funds. The PGA tourney will be played May 9 at a city yet to be chosen and it will be the premier golf fiesta of the year. Charities will benefit accord. ingly.
 I believe these facts are impor. tant because they Illustrate that sports do have a place during a war if they are properly operated. The PGA didn't argue for days with the cheap theatrical of the base ball magnates and the members didn't prefer to sit back and chirp about morale as most of the race track operators are doing.
 They offered themselves quickly and willingly. They didn't need a 'ico- ordinator." Along with Joe Louis, Mike Jacobs and Matt Vim they adopted a policy adapted tc conditions. They took the game to the people and the gravy to the re. lief agencies, proving that they have their wallets in the fight as we'll as their hearts.

The doctor is an ingenious as he is unique. Once he plagued officials by operating his own whistle from the bench, causing a brand of con- fusion never seen before or since.
 On another occasion, he ordered his team to show its disdain for zone defense by sitting on the floro, This, too, caused major re- percusSionS.
 Pitt supporters deny the valid ity of the most widely quoted story about the Doc.
 It has been alleged that several years ago when the timers gun fire dto signal the end of the half, some prankster in the stands drop ped 8 dead duck on Doc Carlson's neck.
 They're probably saving that for next season.

BRUINS { HAVE 'OUTSIDE'
 CHANGE FOR CUP
Brooklyn Blows" PIayOfi. Chance by S-3 Margin
 Manager, Player Fight

Boston, March 1s.--CUP) --Bcl- stered by the return of Bill OOwley, ace playmaker, the Boston Bruins sharpened up today for the start of their Stanley cup championship defense against the Blackhawks at Chicago in series B" Sunday.
 Despite 8 rookie-studded roster, the Bruins will be favored to win the best-of-t three series from Cl1i- cago and enter the finals by de- feating the winner of series "C" between Detroit and Montreal in another two-out- of three affair.
 The Bruins, of course, would be underdogs in the final beSt-of-seven series with either New York or Toronto, but they would have an outside chance of gaining their third straight Stanley cup title if the Rangers and the Maple Leafs get worn down in their longer duel.
 The Boston club showed it was far from hollow shell last night by blasting the Brooklyn Ameri- cans last chance of qualifying for the playoffs with an 8-3 triumph before about 5000 fans at Boston Garden.
 Able Again
 Cowley, equipped with a special mask, played for the first time in nearly two months since he broke his jaw, notched an assist and gave ample evidence that he will be a factor in Boston's title defense.
 Rookie Jack McGill, his suhsi- ute, moved in between Gordie Bruce and Dutch Hitler and sparked the third line with two goals and 3 pair of assists while Bruce got three points and Hitler two.
 Other developments of the wide- open clash in which Boston built a 60 lead were:
 1. Goalie Frank Brimsek of Bos- ton won the Zezina trophy for the second time in four years by yield ing only 118 goals for the 48-game schedule.
 2. Defenseman Tommy Anderson of Brooklyn set Q new record for defenseman by earning his 10th and 41st points to Shatter King Clancy's former mark.
 3. Manager Red Dutton and WiR Field of Brooklyn came to blows in the dressing room after the game. Field, allegedly refused a $25O bonus by Dutton after getting his 18th point, wound up by being fined the same sum.

BREUER CLIMB , TO TANK POST
 LONG, TEDIOUS
BY PAUL sCHEFFELs

NONAteu EEcSS Stam C0E6Sp0m0&0ED
 New York, March I7. (UP)-The yardstick of performance will bring major league recognition to any tal- ented baseball player in the minors but as far as the records show, Marvin Breuer of the New York Yankees is the only current perform CT who climbed to the American Leageu on the heels of a losing eff fort.
 Breuer, now . regular right handler on the world champions staff, was pitching for Rogers, Ark, against Bentonville one day in August, 1884, spured on by the ru- mo that Yankee talent scout Johnny Nee was in the stands He tried his darndest but Bentonville won, TO with Herb Wollard pitching no-hit game.
 There goes my big chance" moaned Breue to his teammates at dinner but the meal had hardly been finished when Nee came to his table and offered him a contract to pitch for Nofolk, Va, the follow ing year.
 A Graduate Engineer
 T thought you would grab that guy Wollard," stammered Breuer. Remember he pitched the ro-hit- ter, not me. I'm the guy that al- lowed the seven runs."
 Never mind that one game, sorl," Nee said, "You will be pitching in the American League when every one will have forgotten all about that no-hitter Wollard pitched" " Breue's rapid rise began that day.
 There are toher graduate engineers in baseball but Breue Is pobably the only one who works at his pro- fession during the winter. Gaduat- ing in 1884 with c degree as civil engineer, he has worked on several large pojectS duing the off-seascn.
 Breue got his professional start under Wally Schang, famous Amer ican League catcher. He pitched ms first ball for the Yankee at Joplin, Mo, where he won IA games and promotion to Ginghamton. He clicked for l8 tiumphs there tn 1886 and climbed to Newark.
 This May Be His Year
 He won one and lost two and was shipped to Oakland. He lost 12 ia row there and ended the season at Kansas City with 6 record of five victories and lo defeats. Almost ready to quit, he was given another chance in 1888 with Kansas City and broke even in 24 games. He trained with the Tanks in 1889 but was farmed out to the Blues again. He won 1T and lost six.
 That record brought Breuer . real trial with the Tanks. He won seven out of nine after dropping his fiEst start to Washington but again ran into hard luck and dropped six of his last seven, four by one run.
 Marvin began to strike the high spots last season, though, winning nine and losing seven. He pitched five-hit bah in four games, had two six-hitters ard one three-kit joh. Breuer always has looked like 2u~ game winner to the Yankee hra5E- trusters and this may be the year
 So far, the high spot of his car eer was on Aug. a. 193p. He Was pitching for Kansas City against Louisville, he had a perfect gasae with two out in the ninth. &ln4k Morgan Of Louisville topped the 10E and 1t bounded 50 high. he teas Breuer's throw t0 firSt EHe newt man was out. however

Reg. U. s. Pat. Of. Rv HACK GJJENTHER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, March 18.-(UP)- Here is a news item which should send the big wigs of the U. s. Coli Assn. rushing to he nearest vail ing wall to cry over their spilled milk-1942 is proving the greatest boom year in golf history. If the present pace is maintained, there won't be an old attendance record left on the books by July the Fourth.
 The author of these happy tidings is Freddie Corcoran, the black haired Irisher, who is sort of one- man information booth, promotion department and Jason officer for the professional golfers of America Brother c. attributes the unprece- dented upSwing directly to the war. i He claims 1t has made people con- Scious of the merits of physical f1t- ness.
 Walk Around
 Gone are the days, he says when a tournament ~was an attraction only for the sports and society sets of & city and an occasion for free style cocktail gulping, gossiping and fashion parading. Today the crowds are democratic and they are as busy as aircraft workers. They no longer inhabit the club house bars. They are out on the courSeS-an walking.
 They haven't begun hiking merely to obtain a first hand glimpse of a few new balls. They are studying the various pros games, climbing hills and mushing through mud. No matter if the business at hand is a major tournament or a minor ex- hibition, the folks turn out to learn what all the shooting is about and to toughen their leg muscles.
 The boom first was evident on the west coast but 1t wasn't taken too seriously at the time because that region had been deprived of most large sports attractions and the golf officials thought that perhaps tile citizens were hungry for a little healthy recreation. But when 31 ,OOO people paid to see the Los Angeles Open the brass hats took notice.
 Many People
 A few days later Bing Crosby s annual calm bake drew an increase of 50 per cent above 1941. At San Francisco and oakland even bad weather couldn't discourage the galleries. At Phoenix the figures climbed back into high and they have stayed there through New Or leans, St. Pete and Miami. Black ink is splashing about like the scotches of yesterday.
 Which brings up the sadness of the USGA, a point which may pug gle you. Why, you wonder, is the USGA sad because there is a Ilota- ble increase in golf interest? The answer to that one is easy. As you probably don't recal, the USGA was the first major sports organi- zation to SIlccumb to war jitters. It cancelled its entire 1942 national schedule.
 Out went the open, the amateur the public links and the women's amateur. Again you ask why? This time you are asking the $64 ques- tion. There is no answer The army didn't order the cancellations and the public didn't want them. The USGA was just too fast on the trigger. Today, the four ourna- ments could raise as much as $1OO,- for charity.
 Does Its Bit
 The PGA has proven that. This group looked before leaping and upon looking discovered that the law of supply and demand was in good working order. As 8 result, various charities and profting and

 Pittsburgh, March 18.-'Just what the doctor ordered, is providing University of Pittsburgh basketball devotees with riotoUs a farce as ever concocted by Kaufman and Hart or the brothers Marx.
 Broadway has missed the seasons best bet in the bizarre extravaganza perpetrated and produced by Dr. Harold c. (Red) Carlson, Panther coach.
 The volatile hed-head, who has uttered Pitt dribblers for 20 years, has flair for the outlandish. His Partners have had a dismal season, but Doc, with the Showmanship of Billy Rose, has supplemented amusement for victories.
 His pet peeve is "that guy with the whistle" Doc wishes all off, cials would swallow their horns and let the boys play the game. His re- pugnance of offlcialdom has led to a number of refreshing f1ascos. PAINTERS LOOK ANEMIC AGAINST CARNEGIE TECH

 The Pitts were weakened by this bit of guinea pigging, but Doc's only comment was, Tech played a nice game, and the officiating was terrible" which is par for the course.
 ''YOO HOO," CALLS DOC IN HIS BANDANA
 The West Virginia game was 8 Carlson blitZ. Both officials refused to be made fools of," whcih was 8 naive premise, indeed.
 1. In the first half, they called no less than three technical fouls against the noble doctor, claiming he had been a bit bourgeois in his demonstrations.

 INDIANA COLLEAGUE
 When Indiana coach Branch Me- Cracken Stoznped along the side- lines raging at officials at Pitt Pa- vilion, Carlson rushed of the Pitt bench and in a mock gesture put his arm around McCracken's shoulder, half-carried him back to the Hoosier bench.
 The crowd roared at the sight of a confirmed official hater soothing the wrath of 8 visiting coach. Even McCracken forgot his peeve and laughed. Carlson spent the re- mainder of the half on the Indiana bench, oblivious to the proceedings, urging McCracken to help him "think up all the names we can to call those bIIrnS."
