A Sound Idea

The field goal feature of col
legt football could be helped in
two ways; first, by increasing its
scoring value to four points,
thereby making two of them
worth more than one touchdown.
Or, second, by moving the goal
posts back to the goal line to en-
courage either drop or place
kicks.
Changing the scoring value of
the field goal would inject new
and spectacular play into the
present attack. II the field goal
could be made to pay better
point dividends, il would be re-
sorted to more frequently by
teams that tend to bog down
within the 20-yard line.
Increasing employment of the
field goal woull in no way in
terefere with running or forward
passing attacks, but would re-
vive a once vital feature of the
college gridiron. And don't for
get that it takes a lot of good
hard fotball to get within boot
ing distance of the goal, even
when the posts are on the goal
line.

Sports
Roundup

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. IL -
Highlighted by national cham
pionships in golf and swimming,
the 1945 varsity teams of Ohio
State University finished among
the Big Tens first division in
nine of ten activities.
Coach Robert Kepler's golf
team not only won individual
and team honors in the Western
Conference, but repeated the
grand slam in the NCAA tourna-
ment here last June. The swim
ming team, after finishing sec
ond to Michigan in the confer
ence meet, won the NCAA event
in the Ann Arbor pool.
Other sports high in the con-
ference standings were; basket
ball, second to Iowa, and ten
mis-, second to Michigan.
Football attendance was a
seasons high spot, the Buck
eyes leading the nation with an
outpouring of 554,499 fans in
nine games. The Ohio State home
mark breaks the previous high
of 336,8O2, set in 1914 for seven
games. BY going over the half
million mark for the season, the
Bucks established a new record
for the Western Conference and
easily surpassed the old overall
figure of 486, ,468, set in 1941.

BOWLING TIPS

Q-DO you advise women to
bowl the regulation l6-pOund
ball?
Alt depends on the physical
qualifications of the individual.
The majority of women prefer a
ball weighing less than Is
pounds.
Q-DOes lOfting a ball give
II more hook or spin?
A-On the contrary, 1t causes
a ball to skid down an alley,
instead of hook, The better
bowlers loft their ball only
when an alley is very slow and
works into the kingpin abruptly,
BY lofting il (to skid it, they
usually manage to keep it on
the strike side.
Q--Why Is a hook ball pre-
ferred for competitive bowling?
A-The twist or turn impart-
ed to a hook ball causes the
pins TO assume a spin. and this
spin creates a greater "spulling"
action, A straight ball, entirely
without spin, strikes the pins
straight on, and get little help
from spinning pin to pin con-
tact.

Money-Eorning
Fists

At least three ringmen earn
ed over one million dollars di-
rectly with their fists, and a
fourth, John l.. Sullivan, gross
ed we'll over $1,000,000 due to
prize ring fame.
The Golden Trio" is made up
of Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, and
Gene Tunney, in that order. 1t
is also said that both Jack Shar-
key and Max Schmelling each
made over a million.
Jack Dempsey was a pugilist
for about six years before he
won the championship from
Jess Willard on July 4, 1919 in
Toledo. But his earnings thru
out those years were relatively
small, and did not amount to
more than 100000.

No One Hits
Homer Jackpot"

For the first time in three sea-
sons no American Lacquer hit a
home run in every park, two
players coming within one park
of that mark in 1945.
Vern (Junior) Stephens, the
st. Louis shortstop who led the
league in four-b base blows with
"a, failed to hit a home run at
Washington while getting circuit
clouts at the other seven parks
Rudy York, former Detroit first
sacker, failed to homer only at
ST. Louis.
Stephens had put one homer
at Chicago and Cleveland and
of his "a total made 13 in his
home layout. York got two in
the tough Washington park,
made one each in Philadelphia,
New York and Cleveland, and
banged out nine at Detroit.
There were only 20 players who
made eight or more homers dur
ing the season, and of this num-
Der only five got Is or more;
Stephens "a, York, Eetten of
New York and Cullenbine of
Detroit 18 each and Heath,
Cleveland, Is.
In 1912 both Ted Williams
and Joe Di Maggie missed
homering in every park, but in
1943 Charley Keller of New
York turned the trick and in
1914 another Yank, Johnny
Lindell, got at least one in each
American League park.

BOWLING ETIQUETTE

After delivering the ball, walk straight
back and do not remain standing at the foul
line for an excessive length of time
Do not talk to a bowler while he is ad-
dressing his pins or try to distract his atten-
ton.
Be good sport at all times-give credit
where credit is due, and remember 1T is easy
to be a good winner, but it takes lot OF
sportSmanship to be a good loser.
Remember that bowling is just game, and
that splits, misses. and taps are Just as much
a part of it as strikes and spares.
Be on time for league meetings matches
and competitions and thus be considerate OF
your fellow bowlers.

Control your temper and refrain from
abusive language-the pins can't hear you
your fellow bowlerS do not appreciate 1t.
II bowler on an adjoining alley is ad
dressing the pins. do not step in front of him
to pick your ball off the rack but remain out
of sight until he is well on his way.
If you are both ready to bowl at the same
time give him the first privilege unless he
signals for you to proceed first.
While delivering your ball, use only the
width of your alley for any "contortion" or
body english" in which you may wish to
indulge.
