The 42-year-old veteran infielder,

man by Detroit fans who Tor
years marveled at his almost flaw
less fielding skill, spent his last
season with the Tigers as player
coach ii 1912.

GRACE of .321, a mark identical with
that he established in three World

DUKES STUMBLING
FEATURES WEEKS
PLAY FOR STATE
Blue Devils, However,
Maintain L ca d In
Southern Conference
Nv The Associated Press

Duke stumbled twice in as many
attempts during the weekend IN
irving to notch it's 18th basketball
victory of the season, and as a
result, the weeks end found North
Carolina far. ahead in the State
race.
The White Phantoms won taree
games during the week to bring
their seasons record to II wins
and two losses-well above the
Dukes level Of II victories and
four losses.
Last of the Carolina victories,
however, was by scant one
point margin Saturday night over
a strong Camp Lee outfit, 5O-49
Earlier in the week, the Plants
had walloped N. C. State and High
Point in State contests.
Duke, too, got away to fast
start last week with a 1913 South
ern conference win over South
Carolina. However, Friday night
an underdog Maryland quintet
handed the Blue Devils a 1888
pasting and, Saturday afternoon,
Navy added another trimming, by
51-40 margin.
Despite their dismal appear
ance on their northern tour, the
Dukes still have the consolation OF
leading the Southern conference
procession, with nine victories
against the lone. setback. Caro-
lina's triumph over N. c. State
last week was its seventh win,
against one loss-that to Duke
The Phantoms continued to
dominate the scoring race, not
only in the State but in the entire
Southern conference. John Dillon
was scored 272 points in 10 games
to lead the parade, and his team
mate, Jim Jordan, has registered
$50 points in the same number OF
contests. Dukes scoring leader,
Ed Koffenberger, has tailed III
points in Is games.
Among the States smaller
schools, Appalachian with six wins
and two losses and Elon, with 10
victories and four losses, are
ahead of the field. Elon's Al
record tops all teams in North
State conference competition.
This weeks schedule, including
% games, opens tonight with North
Carolina and Wake Forest as a
highlight. North State loop games
tonight will find Lenoir- Rhyme at
Eastern Carolina Teachers and
Elon at Atlantic Christian. An
other North State team, Catawba,
will tackle the McCrary Eagles at
Asheboro.

MARCEL HANSENNE
| CAN RUN, EAT TOO

NEW YORK, Jan. 27-UH-The
most important international sports
figure since T. o. M. SopWith rae
ed his yachts and Sir Malcolm
Campbell burned up the sands of
Daytona Beach has appeared on
the American scene but he wasn't
making any predictions tonight -
mainly because he doesn't make SO
good with English.
In fact, Marcel Hansenne ex-
presses himself mostly with Gallo
guestures - and a form on the
track that reminds people Of the
Incompatible Paavo Nurmi. Like
Nurmi, Hansenne descends from
solid Scandinavian stock and he
pronounces his name Through an
interpreter) as if he were a Nor
weigan named Hansen.
Marcel might never have got
himself properly publicized had not
an unknown but opportunist fellow
named George Henry Martin met
the boat he came in on. Martin
who works here for French news
services, was the only man thers
who could figure out what the
Frenchman was trying to say.
Capitalizing on this situation,
Martin attached himself to the
foreigner like beetle in a rose.
bud and at this writing is accom-.
panying Hansenne on a shakedowr
tour Of the east as his interpreter
The facts about Hansenne are
these: He can run the mile almost
as fast as Gunder Haegg and Arne
Anderson and he actually out.
distanced Gunder the wonder ir
an exhibition in Sweden last year
Hansenne thought he was running
for fun but the Swedes were dead
serious, and Lennart Strand and
Anderson finished ahead of him
But the fact was that the French.
man finished ahead Of fourth
place Haegg, to the everlasting
CONSERVATION of that son of the tall
beeches.
Marcel, like the classical concep-
ton of a miller, is long and lear
and loose. He looks fresh out Of
a Nazi concentration camp as to
the general health but he can put
away a steak with French fries
in jig time without suffering indi-
gestion or slowing down in his trek
around the boards.
Before he came here Hansenne
had never run on an indoor track
and he had never worn spiked
shoes. He won acclaim on the con-
tinent by wearing the French
equivalent of sneakers, whatever
the word is.
Marcel Immediately got himself
into controversy with the moguls
of American amateur athletics
when they invited him to partici-
pate in mile-run with Leslie Mac
Mitchell, the U. S. intercollegiate
king at that distance. He said okay,
thinking it would be just a chance
to jog around but as an A. A. U.
sponsored race it was one of those
affairs where you have to give
your best, or be disqualified.
Hansenne is in no condition, yet,
to run a competitive mile and il
loked for awhile like they were
trying to make a joke of him. But
Martin, his mouthpiece, and few
other champions of clean sport
got that matter Strengthened out.

JUST BEFORE CONGRESS adjourned it agreed
upon so-caed Legislative Reorganization Act, that
consolidated lot of Committees, provided for in
creasing the number Of legislative assistants, and
boosts in pay for Senator's and Representatives. AT
the time, Congress made soft promises of low
ering the ceilings appropriations, decreasing
and reducing the National debt The long recess
before Congress meets again will give the public a
chance forget these Congressional promises. When
the time comes up again you'll find Con-
gress fiddling the same old tunes Nothing will be
done about Bbo and other freak political characters
from the South any other part of the country.
