C. U. Looks to Another Hard Grid Year: Sharkey’s Caliber Still Is Uncertain BASKET BALL ZEST DIESATBROOKLAND Cards Announce Foot Ball Schedule—G. W. Quint in Winning Class. ITS basket ball team having lost 17 straight games. Catholic University, sportively speaking, is living more in the future than the present. Certainly it has lost interest in the current major garfte. The Cardinals’ foot ball schedule for 1930 has just been announced, and it is quite as tough as that through which they fought with credit last Fall. If the Cardinals are as strong as in the last campaign, their annual feature i with George Washington should be a real headliner here. The Colonials look : forward to perhaps their best foot ball season. ' Calholic University has scheduled L four games at home and four away. ■ The list: September 27—Boston College, at | Boston. I October 4—Franklin and Marshall.! here. October 11—Holy Cross, at Worcester. October 18—Loyola College. October 24—Duquesne. at Pittsburgh. November I—New River State Col lege. November 8 American University. November 15 Manhattan, at New York. November 22 —George Washington. The Cardinals’ seventeenth consecu tive loss was to Fordham, in New York, score 55-17. Not even the persistent Walsh could get going for C. U., the captain being limited to one field goal and a charity point. The line-ups: Fordhsm. G F.Pts. Catholic U. OF Pt.«.

By defeating Virginia Medical Col lege. 40-19, George Washington became one game up on an even split on the season.

With 1 Irving Fine showing the way, the Co lonials ran up a 17-2 advantage in the first 10 minutes, and another scoring spree was led in the second half by i Red Harris.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March I.—The East ern Intercollegiate indoor track and field championships will be held in the 102 d Engineers' Armory here tonight, with Penn, Har i vard and New York University more or less joint favorites to capture the team title. Georgetown, hitherto regarded as a strong contender, has been counted out of the running in some quarters because of the withdrawal from the 70-yard sprint of Karl Wildermuth, who finished I inches behind Jimmy Daley of Holy j Cross in the event last year. Wilder muth suffered a leg injury in a race with Jack Elder January 18 and has not recovered. Penn's chances are regarded as par ticularly bright. In addition to Barney Berlinger. all-around ace, who Ls en tered in four events, the Quakers have several star sophomores. Harvard pre sented a well rounded team in over whelming Cornell and Dartmouth in a triangular meet and should finish one two. New York University, champion last year, has lost the services of Phil Edwards and Fred Veit, but may make j a better showing than has been antici pated through the versatility of Sol Furth. Six individual champions will defend their titles—Daley in the sprint, Furth in the broad jump, Leo Sexton of j Georgetown in the 35-pound weight' ; throw, an afternoon event; Ben Hedges jof Princeton in the high jump, Joe i Hagen of Columbia in the 2-mile run and Joe Hickey of New York University in the mile. Holy Cross is favored in the mile re lay and N. Y. U. in the 2-mile team j run. WORLD RECORD SMASHED BY MICHIGAN SWIMMERS EVANSTON. 111., March 1 (>P)._uni- j versity of Michigan swimmers bettered i the world record for the 160-yard relay i ®nd scored another unexpected victory in the medley relay to hand North western its first dual meet defeat in two years, 40 to 35. The team of Walailis, Walker. Hosmer and Smith swam the relay distance in 1:13:6 to improve on the former record of 1:14, held jointly by Northwestern and the Chicago Athletic Association. The victory of Valentine, Goldsmith and Walker in the medley event gave Michigan the points required to win thp meet. COLLEGE SWIMMING. , Michigan, 40: Northwestern, 35. .—- Business Is Likely to Be Last To Start Base Ball Practice CANDIDATES for the Business base ball team probably will be the last in the public high school group to begin diamond preparation. The Stenogs likely will not get started until March 24, though they may loosen arms and muscles in the school yard between now and then > if the weather is good. Play in the annual intersemester and Cadet Corps' basket ball tournament will get under way at Business next week and base ball activity will take a back seat until these competitions are out of the way. Business has at hand some half dozrm ball players of proved worth, but is decidedly shy on battery material. Not a single pitcher is at hand and Freddy Finley, whose experience as a catcher has been limited, is the lone receiver available. Leonard and Newman, last j season’s pitchers, and Schap, who did i much of the catching, all have been lost by graduation. Leading players at hand include i Chase, first baseman; Singman and Lucas, infielders; Finley, first baseman and catcher: Loftus, outfielder, and Duryee, inflelder and outfielder. Leading Eastern’s basket ball team next Winter will be Barney Kane, fast, j scrappy forward. He was elected cap tain yesterday. Though it was his first season on the team. Kane played strongly for the Light Blue during the ! past season. Western was to make its debut in the Penn basket ball tournament at Phila delphia this afternoon at 4 o’clock ! against Pleasantville, N. J.. High toss •ers. Central was to open play at noon today against Stroudsburg, Pa., High.

Ben Franklin basketers triumphed over St. John's in a 39-38 extra-period thriller last night in th-- Cadets' gym. It was a battle all the way, with the count standing 36-all at the end of regulation play.

MARYLAND QUINTET LOSER IN TOURNEY Bows to Kentucky, 26 to 21. Favorites Win in Play for Dixie Title. Atlanta, Ga„ March l.—With no real upset resulting in the opening round yesterday, play in the Southern Conference basket ball tourney was to be continued today, with four games on the card. University of Maryland was one of the first-round victims, bowing to Ken tucky, one of the heavy favorites, 26 to 21, in what was probably the best played opening day tilt.

Kentucky and Maryland were the most formidable teams to oppose yes terday, the leading combinations, as a I rule, having fairly easy foes, due to the fact that they were placed in the draw. Kentucky won the game by getting a 12-to-6 lead in the first half when both teams were missing many shots, with the Old Liners the worst offenders. Maryland made a valiant bid in the i second half and once had the score I 17-19, but the Wildcats then got 4 points in a row. Berger, Old Line center, with 11 points, was the high scorer of the game and one of the leaders of the day. Radice also played a great game for Maryland. The line-ups: Maryland. G.F Pts. Kentucky.

March 1. —Purdue will defend its unmarred record in Big Ten basket ball competition against Min , nesota tonight, while Northwestern's in-and-out five will play Its final en gagement of the conference season with Chicago as its adversary. Purdue should experience little diffi culty in defeating Minnesota for the ; second time of the season, but North western, playing its “out” brand of basket ball, might find Chicago trouble some. Northwestern easily defeated Chicago at the Midway earlier in the season.

I THE GAMEST ACT I EVER SAW Crippled Indiana, Luho and Wheelock, Forced Way Into Line-up to Win Gridiron Claaeic. BY GLENN WARNER, As Told to J. P. Glass. GLENN WARNER, Leland-Stan ford coach, said he certainly never had witnessed a more striking exhibition of game ness than that of Lubo, the Indian. It was away back in 1902. when “Pop” was coaching the old Carlisle team. * The whole -bunch was game, for that matter, and you really couldn't give one Indian an edge over another. To be just, that fellow Wheelock was on a par with Lubo. Our biggest game of the year, said Warner, was with Cornell. That season it was set for October 18. A week | before that date we had about eon j eluded that we were in for a bad j baeting. It looked as though we ! would be without the services of three of our best men. Wheelock. our left tackle, probably the best man in the country in the position at the time, and the one who did all our kicking, was in the hospital suffering so badly from neuritis that they had to rig up a special apparatus to keep the bed clothes from touching him: Exedine, our great right end. had a wrenched ankle, and finally Scho- — jgm fy CVNS V.VJBO WAS. |UCA>P< S - y . a BOOUCMT SLLTUI OTHBQ I chuck, as good a center as there was i anywhere, was laid up with injuries from which he couldn't possibly recover before the Cornell game. S How was Ito revamp a team which | wasn't any too strong in substitutes after such losses? Well, it was little Lubo who showed the way out. Actual ly, what he did was one of the epics of sport history. Lubo had been our left tackle the year before. But in the Navy game his left wrist was smashed and cut open. It didn’t seem to heal. The doctors thought he had a tubercular infec tion. So he was ordered out of foot ball, his arm was kept in a sling and j he was told to indulge in no more i violent exercise than walking, j But he was a bear for foot ball. He hung around the team in practice and at all games and, of course, learned every signal and every play. It was pitiful. That game arm of his was shriveled away almost to mere bone. Four nights before the Cornell game Lubo took matters into his own hands. A knock brought me to my door. There j stood the Indian. “Coach.” he said directly, “I want |to play in that Cornell game. I know Wheelock and Shochuck are out of it. ! I d like to go in for you and for the I school.” "Not with that arm.” I said. He protested. “Coach,” he said, I “I’m in good shape every other way ! and I think I fan protect my bad [ arm.” I asked him where he thought he could play. “I can play tackle in Wheelock’s place.” "No, you’d have to have both arms.” I DOWN THE LINE WITH W. O. McGEEHAN (Touring Abroad) Toothpicks. SOMEWHERE IN AFRlCA.—Traveling through a land where the toothpick not only seems to be a necessity, but an evidence of good breeding, your correspondent has been embarrassed no little by a lack of training in the use of that implement. Unless one is, as we might say, to the toothpick born, one has some ridicu lous inhibitions about the use of the toothpick in public. There always exists the fear of using the wrong toothpick. It takes some study to know just what sort of toothpick to use after each course if the dinner is at all complicated, and many of the French dinners are quite involved. Imagine one’s embarrassment upon glancing sideways as the count to the left and becoming con scious that he is using the soup toothpick after the sh course and ! learning, as the mantling blush of shame deepens on his cheek, that : he has been one toothpick behind during the dinner. A study of my fellow passengers on the S. S. Tingat, bound from Mer seille to Algeria, Indicated that the French tourist always carries his travel ing toothpicks with him when ventur ing away from France. Os course, Algeria is a French colony and in nearly all of the restaurants of North Africa the French traveler may be as sured of his toothpicks. But then there may be chances of being forced to eat in the restaurants of other peoples or it might be that the j traveler through some of the wild terrain m'ght b# forced to nibble at a few figs or dates. It seems danger ous as well as indelicate to eat a hand ful of dates unless the toothpicks are ; handy. Toothpick sets may be simple or they ; may be quite ornate. There was one passenger aboard the Tingat who had an engraved platinum set, toothpicks for all occasions being held in the same container. Each toothpick was en graved with the owner’s monogram and coat of arms. The container was at tached to a buttonhole in the vest by a platinum chain. In the presence- of one using the ordinary quill set sup a toothpick wielder of this distinction plied by the ship (without supplement) felt very burgeoise, as the boys and girls at the Dome Case in Paris would say. Still is is not so much the quality of the toothpicks. It is the manner in which they were handled. There was the slim blond at the other table to the right. Evidently she had been well brought up, as we say, for she handled her toothpicks in a most graceful fashion, displaying a lew diamond rings as the Angers curled at the picking of the teeth. There are ways of doing things that indicate the antecedents. As a rule a French gentleman with one of those ; spade beards picking his teeth is just a man picking teeth and that is all i there is to it. But graceful young I things, who know their toothpicks, can i make a picture that somebody might want to paint. One of my traveling companions told me that he first fell in love with his wife when he saw her teeth in a case of the gare. It was. of course, a chance place to feel the first inklings of the grand passion, or whatever you want to call it. There were scores of people picking their teeth at the time, for they always are picking their teeth in the restaurants. But there was something in the way in which this young woman picked her teeth that convinced the infatuated young man that this was the girl for him. “And monsieur,’' he said, “I never had occasion to" regret that mo ment. It seems marvelous that a sim ple implement like a toothpick could weave such a great romance.” At the Picnic. THE indLspensabillty of the toothpick was brought home to me during a picnic given in the Forest of Fontaine blue a few weeks before this sailing. The basket had been packed by Alphon “Well, how about center?” “You can't pass the ball without two good arms.” He wasn’t convinced. “Somehow,” he said, after an argument that lasted two hours, “I’m going to play.” Darned If he didn't go to the su perintendent of the school and make a personal appeal. Sportsmanship like that struck the superintendent in a weak spot. He told Lubo that if the doctor thought his general condition was good—you see, he still had that possibility of tubercular infection in his mind—and we could devise some apparatus to protect his arm, it would be all right for him to play. But he'd have to get the doctor's consent and mine. The doctor said that only his wrist barred him. “Well, coach.” said Lubo to me, “there must be some way to fix the arm.” We sewed strips of thick leather around his wrist, stuffed cotton inside of them and taped the whole. “It looks, Lubo, as if you were going to get into that game,” I said. Hp smiled. “Thank you, coach, thank you." was all he said. Os court-. I couldn’t use him at tackle, his old position, or end. I made a switch which sent him In to right guard. • News that Lubo was going to play brought all the other cripples around the place asking for places in the line up. Though Wheelock still was in such pain that he couldn't bear for any one to lay a hand on him, he insisted: ‘lf you can fix Lubo so he can play, coach, you can fix me, too.” I couldn't very well argue with him. for it was also known that Exedine, his ankle heavily tappd, was going in. We devised a sort of armor which would help him a little. First he put on a heavy shirt. Over this we laid aluminum plates, front and back, binding th'm with tape so they wouldn’t slip. Outside everything was his Jersey. I assigned him to center, where he 1 probably would suffer less than in any other position. Well, I won’t describe that Cornell game. I just want to say that Whee lock and Lubo held their own against one of the most powerful lines in the country that year. They personally broke up a guards-back formation which was one of the Ithacans’ main reliances. At the finish they stood the middle of the Cornell line on its heels and per mitted Fullback Williams to hurdle over lor a touchdown that won the game. At this stag' Wheelock could endure no more. He had to be carried off the field in agony. But Lubo sturk it through. And was he happy when we left the field 10 to 6 winners? Was he! I think those boys deserve equal credit. Their devotion to their school was wonderful. Still, it was Lubo who started things. i sine, the maid. It seemed that it con ■ tained everything. There was cold ■ chicken, salads, bread, pates, and there ■ were plenty of bottles of wine from Cote • i de Rhone—and that is wine! Alphonse, our host, drove us far into i! the forest, away from the villages. With i i only a petit dejeneur under the belts. ■ the pangs of hunger became evident by l o’clock, when the cloth was spread on r the grass. Alphonse laid down the con ; tents of the basket, and the ladies ar . ranged the plates. The basket was quite I empty, but Alphone still seemed to be : frisking It for something of importance. . i Suddenly his fare paled and he emitted a cry of anguish. "We are lost!’’ he shouted. “Oh, that wretched | Alphonsine, with a memory that is less than that of a pig! She has . ; forgotten!” I “If she forgot the corkscrew, it Is ; ! quite all right.” I said soothingly. "Be ■ ing an old campaigner, I always come . prepared. Be at ease. Alphonse, and l \ calm yourself. Even if I had forgotten . the corkscrew, I still know how to knock r the neck from a bottle. Sit dowm and [ pass me a couple of chickens and a ■ bottle.” i But Alphone still continued to wail. His wife, our hostess, also turned pale, I and it seemed that she was about to I swoon. The scene was so heart-rend : ing that I needed & drink myself. “All is lost!” walled Alphonse again. "We shall starve on the picnic! Al phonsine has forgotten the toothpicks!” Relief Arrives. IT did look like a very tough situation, for it would take more than an hour to reach the nearest village, and the place for the toothpicks might be closed at that hour. There might be another ' picnic party somewhere with a few spare ; toothpicks that we could borrow, but : that seemed unlikely. “Compose yourself,” I said again. "I ; can whittle out some toothpicks that ’ would do In a pinch until we get back to civilization.” "Ah, that would be well enough for , you and me, monsieur*” said Alphonse. “We are men inured to hardships. But | the ladies? The health of my wife is , delicate, as you will observe, and I fear , the consequences should she be reduced , to the use of wooden toothpicks with the , dejeneur.” Then Alphonse told us of some of his terrible experiences during the Riff uprising in Africa. His com . pany had been eut off in a little mud fort and surrounded by Riffs. There I was food and wine in the place, but the toothpicks had not come up be fore the attack, and the column could not get up with any relief be cause the roads were impassable. I On the third day the men were so hungry that they were ready to eat without toothpicks. Just as some of them were about to do this terrible thing in their dire necessity, an aeroplane ap : peared over the fort and dropped a ( package. The captain opened it with a cry of joy—the toothpicks had come and , the fort was saved! Just then a horn tooted.

Watching two basket ball teams battling in Montreal a year back convinced me that Canadian play ers are as good as any when It comes to gaining control of the tap. The particular team we watched was being outjumped at center, so It switched to a "Y” formation, the two forwards lining up behind the !• •ii —@ l» J i two centers, instead of in their or thodox positions at either side of the court nearest their own basket. The opposing center tried to tap the ball to his left front. But the play didn’t work as planned. No. 3 forward came up at top speed and slapped it with his hand right into the arms of his No. 4 guard, who was headed toward him at top speed. No. 4 was free to dribble and advance the ball into the opponent's end of the court, where he passed it back to a trailer who scored. (Copyright, 1930.)

March I.—Sammy Man -1 dell, the master boxer and world light weight champion, and Jimmy McLar nin. slugging Irish welterweight, will J meet tonight at the Chicago Stadium 1 in their “rubber” bout, a 10-round fea ture at 145 pounds. McLarnin. who scored last In their feud, was a 7-to-5 favorite over the 1 Rockford flash, with some wagering be ing done at 1 to 3 that the Dublin dynamiter will win by a knockout. Mandell. however, said he was in far better shape than when McLarnin punched out a decision over him in 10 rounds last Fall. Mandell won their first meeting, a 15-round lightweight championship en i gagement, 18 months ago in New York by a wide margin, but found McLarnin a tougher fighter at 145 pounds In the I second meeting. I The bout, tne first of major impor . tance to be held on a Chicago Saturday night, was expected to attract about ! 15.000 spectators, which ttould mean a , gate of approximately $65,000. The ! semi-final 10-rounder also promises plenty of action. Young Jack Thomp , son.

The Morning Post lamented that British boxing should have been repre sented abroad by such a "lethargic and idolent” representative as Scott, al though acknowledging it had been ap praised that Sharkey was a “tough, ugly customer without a trace of pugilistic chivalry." The paper described the referee, Lou Magnolia, as “the one comical figure in the disgusting affair” and predicted that repetition or such contests would put an end to Anglo-American prize fighting. The Daily Mail contended that there had been far too much altercation and far too little real fighting in recent heavyweight encounters. "The public wants to see the combatants get back SPORTS. GERMAN STANDS UP UNDERCOMPARISON Risko, Beaten by Schmeling, Outshone Main Contest Rivals at Miami. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. MIAMI, Fla., March I.—Bag, baggage and ballyhoo, the pugilistic hosts of Madi son Square Garden pre pared to beat a strategic retreat today from the disastrous scenes where the second battle of the coconut palms fouled and flopped. There have been more artistic failures than this Scott-Sharkey affair. Tex Rickard had his troubles at Toledo in 1919 and the boom town of Shelby, Mont., was hard hit by the flop of the Dempsey-Gibbons bout there in the Summer of 1923. But thesp, at least, had the glamous of a championship strug gle, no matter what the sad tale in the I box office. The balmy setting of this Winter’s fistic fiasco had few. if any, redeeming | features to offset its financial short comings. These might have been over looked with a more magnificent gesture by the Garden Corporation had Jack Sharkey achieved a convincing and de cisive victory over Phil Scott, the pallid Briton, who seems inflicted with chronic difficulty in the right sciatic nerve. As it was, the battle added no luster to ! heavyweight history. Scott, all hands concede, no matter whether they think the Briton was fouled, has been effectually removed as a heavvweight title contender. Thus the field is at least reduced by one in the wearisome and unsatisfactory series of elimination, bout* since the retire ment. of Gene Tunney in the Summer of 1928. Jack’s Plans Uncertain. Sharkey, the main American hope, though a three-round victor over Scott under extraordinary circumstances, re mains an uncertain figure as a fighter of apparently great possibilities, but dis tinctly erratic tendencies in the ring. Seemingly, Thursday was the night for this Jeckyl and Hvde of fisticuffs to wage one of his ‘ bad fights.” Not only did he fail to justify the long odds in his favor, but actually he came within a shade of lasing on a foul and spoiling w'hatever hopes he had of winning world championship honors. The exoert consensus, as a-result, is that Sharkey by no means figures to | have any advantage over Max Schmel ing, the German clouter, when they I meet on June 26 in the deciding heavy i weight tilt at New York. This bout will ! feature the annual milk fund show, sponsored by the mayor's committee, of which Mrs. William Randolph Hearst | is chairman. I Schmeling has been out of the ring i since last Summer when he trounced Paulino after previously scoring a technical knorkout over Johnny Risko, ! who looked good enough on Thurs day night against Victorio Campolo to ! have trimmed any one on the card, j including th’ main bout participants. I Schmeling. if he can reproduce the i form he last showed in this country. i= conceded an excellent chance to beat Sharkey. The squawks over the Miami battle ! may b? heard for some time to come, l f r r th'v aroused new strains of pugilis tic bittern'ss, but these will not change th~ result. Th- Mismi boxing eommis . sioners msi" it clear that while they I will Prott cr his manager any reasooeb’e h°aring, they have no . thought o' revising or reconsidering the verdict cf R-fcroc Lou Magnolia. Final Tigures Show Loss. Phil Scctt spent most of the ’’day aft'i” und-rgong trcatm r nt for the I j nerve condition which he claimed re sulted from a foul blow by Sharkey ■j to the ; ot his hip. His manager devoted the entire dav to the voicing i of hot charges egainst the referee, j Magnolia countered with equal heat. ! Sharkey alcne obtained rest and se -1 elusion, which he intends to enjoy here for another month. He will not fight j again until he me ts Schmeling in June. The final report from the box office I was sad. indeed. It showed gross re ! oeipts of $193,252 and a net gate of $161,716 after the deduction of Federal tax. There were only 18,762 paying customers, of whom 11,897 sat in the $5 sections (until they moved else where), 3,495 occupied $12,40 seats and | 3.370 enjoyed the luxury of $25 loca tions. With Sharkey receiving $40,429.75 and Scott $32,243. the fighters’ pay roll reached $124,000 altogether, leav ing the Garden less than $40,000 with which to pay the arena rental and the cost of operations, besides the main i tcnance of a large staff organization ; here for a month. The total cost of the oromotion was figured at no less than | $200,000, so that the loss probably will j be between $40,000 and $50,000. GARDEN LOSES BIG SUM ON MIAMI FIGHT SHOW ! MIAMI, Fla., March 1 (/P).-—Official figures have placed the paid attendance | at the Scott-Sharkey fight show Thurs | day night at 18.600, the gross receipt* I at $190,000 and the net “gate” at only $161,000 after deduction of tax. The loss to the Madison Square Gar , den Corporation was estimated at $50,- 000, but may run as high as $75,000. Sharkey, receiving 25 per cent, drpw $40,000 for his share, as compared with ; SIOO,OOO he received for his victory over Young Stribling a year ago. Scott, get ting 20 per cent, drew $32,000.

March 1 <£»).— Ira Dorn, Salt Lake City heavyweight, and Ed ‘Strangler" Lewis, former world heavyweight w’restling champion, wrestled to a spectacular draw here last night. to the noble art and rely more on their fists and less on talk,” the paper said. The Daily Express commented: "The boxing world has been robbed of what should have been an interesting en counter. and that is all. Regret is tem pered by the reflection that neither winner nor loser is in the same class as the old-time heavyweights.” The Daily Herald declared: "The sooner fights are regulated under a proper international code the better. The false god of money is destroying sportsmanship.” Sporting Life did not comment edi torially. but its boxing expert in a spe cial article attacked Sharkey’s "brutal fouls** and remarked: “It seems that what Americans want to see is not box ing but something a trifle lower than even the old-time rough-and-tumble ” Sporting Life understood that if the alleged fouls were confirmed by a repre sentative of the British boxing board at Miami the board would protest the de cision of the fight.
