BASKETBALL PROGRAMS

AS the program barkers are fond
of saying. You can't enjoy the
games without the names and num-
bers of all the players. so for the
All-Oriental Basketball Tourna-
ment, the NVC and Cathay Post
are putting out slick and complete
souvenir program. which probably
will be retailed at two-bits per copy.
On this program. players of all
teams will be listed together with
their numbers and physical data,
so that when visiting player makes
a sensational shot or racks up bas-
! ket after basket. all the fans will

to look him up in the program.
The NVC and the Cathay Post
wish TO express their appreciation
10 the advertisers who helped to
make the program possible by sign
ing up for ads which were solicited
on the NVC side by a committee
headed by Dick Setsuda and Ho-
ward Minatc. The committee had
to work fast in order to line up the
necessary amount of advertising by
the publication deadline, but 1t
reached its goal with plenty of time
TO spare. aided by fine cooperation
on the part of local businessmen,
who signed up with the least pos
sible amount of resistance.
The souvenir program is the
brainchild of the NVC's extremely
capable publicity chairman, Lefty
Ichihara, who really knows his
business and put in a lot of time
and effort into the project. We
know all the fans will agree, as they
obtain their own copies of the pro-
gram at tournament time, that It
gives all the dope on all the teams.

Game Too Rough one
BY Lewis F. Atchison

Sighor Louis Palunbo regarded

No, but it might as we'll have
been. We merely made the mis-
take of shaking hands with Len
Mccormick, a 6-foot-3, 215-round
center from Baylor whom you
may see a lot of this autumn.
Mr.. Mccormick should be warned
about handling the football
gently or he's liable to pop 1t
like bubble gum. We explained
all this to Signor Palumbo, hold
ing up the damaged paw as ex-
hibit A, and he made wry face
and sorrowfully wagged his head.

he said. It's no good. I'm sorry,
but from now until next January,

about it I will have to stop read
ing your column in the paper.

NEW YORK. July 2s.-The 500
athletes who will carry America s
colors to the 1948 Olympics will have
the best in food, transportation and

Assurance of this was provided by
the United States Olympic Associa-

in 26 sports to proceed with the
selection OF teams for the winter
games at st. Moritz and the Olym-
piad in London.

States Olympic Committee. then
tackled the job Of getting the con-
testants overseas and back and feed
ing and housing them, particularly
in shortage-plagued Britain. Also
facing the group is the task Of rails
ing an estimated $475,000 to finance
the expeditions.

U.S. Olympic Aces to Get Best
In Food, Transport and Housing

Most Of the food required for the
athletes during their two-week stay
in England will be shipped from
here. The team will be quartered
in former Royal Air Force barracks
at Uxbridge. less than 10 miles from
the Wembley Stadium games site.
A major development Of the ses-
sion was resolution that the United
States present solid front in bid
ding for the 1856 games. Last spring
five American cities sought the 1852
games, which we're awarded to Hell
sinki, Finland.
At the suggestion of President
Avery Brundage the association de-
cided that in the future one city
would be chosen to carry the full
American Endorsement.
The question of pre-Olympic and
post Olympic tours and competitions
was placed in the hands of the
respective committees and as a
result several teams received per-
mission to leave in advance for
Europe and remain abroad several
weeks.

Handlers Of Assault

To Oppose Armed
BY The Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 29.-The King
Ranch handlers of Assault today
weighed a challenge to face Calu-
met Farms Armed in winner
take-all match race for 100000
during the current Washington
Park meeting.
The bid made by the Washington
Park Jockey Club yesterday for the
long awaited showdown between the
two great thoroughbreds became a
challenge affair when Owner War
ren Wright promptly said his Armed
was ready and willing for crack
at the 1916 triple crown winner.
That put Assault on the spot, but
Trained Max Hirsch of King Ranch
said he wanted to make sure his
horse was in condition for the pro-
posed match at a mile and quar-
ter with each runner carrying 126
pounds. fa-4o---. ~
Hirsch said that If, on his re-
turn East, he finds Assault full OF
run he will recommend that Owner
Robert j. Kleberg accept the match.
The distance would be the same
as the Kentucky Derby which As
sault won last year on his way to
coping racing's triple crown in the
3-year-old realm.
Assault this year won five con-
secutive stakes in New York and
Maryland before finishing. third to
Stymie and Natchez in Empire
City's 100000 Gold Cup race.
Not only would King Ranch re-
gain considerable prestige after the
Gold Cup setback by sending As
sault to victory over Armed, but
Kleberg also would place his horse
on top of Stymie as an all-time
money-winner by grabbing the
100000 pot.
Assault now trails Stynie in the
