More than q week Of the
month-long Evening Star bowl
ing tournament has passed with
out q formidable score being re-
ported, in spite Of the partici-
patton Of thousands of men and
women. Holding an unwelcome
spotlight are a number of bowl
ers who did heat the mapleways,
but neglected to enter the tour
nament.
For the benefit of those un-
familiar with The Star tourna-
ment it is repeated that only
league scores count and q bowler
must pay the entry fee of 81
before shooting. The entrant
receives a full handicap based
on his league average and a
scratch Of 1913 for men and 118
for women.
But there will be many prizes
for scratch scores. Notable
among those who overlooked this
was Sam Simon. A few years
back Sam won a permanent line

winning the Campbell Classic.
He now bowls once a week with
the Winchester Packards in the

Walker Eager 10 Play

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-Doak

good enough even before he played
college football to hold his own in

to have a fling at the professional

That's still two years away for

1918 tie with Penn State In the

night the Maxwell Clubs award as

also will be honored as the No. l
lineman of the season.
Doak doesn't care whether the
pros want him to pass, run the ball
or block. He just wants to play
football.
"I would rather block than handle
the ball." he added. There's q
great kick in hitting . guy and
hearing him grunt."
An effort failed, however, to
draw him out as to his choice Of
pro teams, even with Bert Bel,
commissioner of the National Foot
ball League and president Of the
Maxwell club, on hand to SEQ that

be in line for prizes totaling
$47.50, at least. Anyway, in last

At the rate entries are pouring

BROOkLYN, Jan. 13.-A1though
Brooklyn officials maintain a dis
Greet silence, the feeling persists
that the National League pennant
defending Dodgers will make one
more serious effort to pry loose First
Baseman Ed Watkins from the
Chicago Cubs.
That the Dodgers have been talk
ing trade with the Cubs, neither
President Branch hickey nor Man
ager Leo Durocher' denies. However,
when asked specifically yesterday
whether Waitkus was the man they
were after, both clammed up.
Gallagher (Jimmy Gallagher,
general manager of the Cubs Is
difficult to deal WITH" Leo lament
ed. HE just is inclined to get his
values mixed. He overestimates the
worth of his own players and under
estimates that Of players on oppos-
ing teams"
1t still is felt in some circles that
Bill Cox, shortstop recently ac-
quired from the Pittsburgh Pirates
in a trade involving six players
including Dixie Walker, is the bait
being dangled before the Cubs.
Chicago, desperately seeking an
experienced shortstop to fill an
aching gap, needs Cox like a hockey
player needs skates, but thus far
the Cubs have been loathe to part
with q player Of Watkins worth.
Apparently playing both ends,
the Dodgers have listed Cox as the
regular third baseman for 194S,
giving him the call over Johnny
(Spider) Jorgensen, last years hot
corner guardian and one Of the out
standing rockies of the 1947 season.
It Is known that Durocher is
high" on Waitkus. Leo regards the
Cubs first sacker as one Of the
coming stars and is of the opinion
that the 28-year-old native of Cam
bridge, Mass, is one of the most ag-
gressive performers in the league.
Durocher also is not too keen on
Jackie Robinson as a first baseman.
He thinks Robinson could do the
Dodgers more good at second base.
II have seen Robinson play only
10 games at first base and I am
convinced that he is better sec

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Jan. 49,
Any resemblance of the 1948 Olympic
bobsled squad to the Chicago Bears
football team is not coincidental. In
fact, the sight of this squad would
make any pro football coach do
handsprings in anticipation of sign
ing up a few Of the behemoths of
the iced chutes
The 15-man squad averages at
pounds
Top man in weight on this vet
eran team Is bulky Schuyler Carron
Of Au Sable Forks, N. Y, 276-pound
brakeman on the No. 2 two-man
sled driven by Fred Fortune, jr:, OF
Lake Placid. Lightest is Weight
man BuO Washbond Of Keene VAL
ley, alternate two-man driver, who
hits only 180. His dad, Alan WASH
bond, captured the 1886 Olympic
two-man title with Ivan Brown at
Garmisch- -Patenkirchen.
The 1948 team is not only well
fortified in weight, but in expert
ence and ability it Is difficult to see
any teams beating them on the
tricky st. Moritz run, which is just
under q mile.
For advice they can call on two
of the greatest bobsledders Of all
time-John j. Donna) Fox OF
Larchmont and Lake Placid, who
will serve as coach, and Curtis
Stevens, one Of the famous bob
shedding Stevens brothers Of Lake
Placid, who was named manager.
Fox was q member Of the 1886
team, but, cracked up prior to the
races. In 1887 his team won the
Argentine Cup, emblematic Of the
world title. Stevens was q member
Of the 1882 team and paired with
Brother j. Hubert Stevens to cap
ture the two title.
The No. l four-man sled will be
piloted by big Jim Bickford, 35-
year-old, 230-pound husky from
Saranac Lake, who Is rated by bob
sled experts as one Of the really
great drivers because Of his steadi-
ness under all conditions. He rode
with Fox in the 1886 Olympics and
1887 world championships and since
transferring to the front end he's
been at or near the top at all times
and still holds five records on the
Mount Van Hoevenberg run, as well
as having won every major two and
four man title.
Riding with Bickford are Thomas
Hicks of Merrill, N. Y, who was
member of Bill Linney's Republic
Miners team, and Donald (Ducker)
Dupree ana William Dupree of
