Balance, Spring Make Ohe Vaulter: Trio Rated Santa Anita Class
ACROBATICS HELP
SLIGHTMESE
Sueo Says He Can’t Rely on
Power as Do Americans
to Clear Bar.
BY JOHN LARDNER.
NEW YORK, February 24.—Sueo
Ohe is the co-entry of Simone
Simon in this year’s how-do
you-pronounce-it derby. They
have hung every kind of wrong guess
on poor young Simone, calling her Si
mong Simong and Seemoan Seemoan
and Addison Sims and what not, and
Mr. Sueo Ohe, the Japanese pole
vaulter, is in much the same fix.
On one side of the street you hear
that the gentleman’s monicker is pro
nounced "Sue Away," which sounds
like a chorus girl's motto. On the
other side yo-t are told that the cor
rect approach is "Sway-o O-hay.” A
third party informs me, very reliably,
that the one and only bona fide pro
nunciation of the tag is "Chumly,” as
In Cholmondeley.
Your correspondent usually compro
mises in cases like this by calling the
victim "pal,” which covers a multi
tude of Simones and Sueos. But I
daresay it is not very courteous to ac
cost a citizen of Japan as "pal” when,
for all we know to the contrary, the
word “pal” may have extremely sinis
ter connotations in the Orient and be
considered an insult of the most scoun
drelly hue. Quite likely you are re
quired to smile when you call a man
“pal" in Japan.
So we will compromise by merely
■pelling it out—Mr. Ohe.
They Lack Power.
■ft/TR. OHE was a school kid when he
^ started to vault. That was seven
years ago. The Japanese have a nat
ural aptitude for pole-vaulting, being
slender of frame, but wiry and
agile. If you could add a little sheer
power to that combination you would
probably make Japan a permanent
gift of the world vaulting champion
ship. The one thing the Japanese
lack in this line of endeavor is power.
Mr. Ohe admits it.
■'George VarofT is muscled, like one
of your foot ball players,” he says, via
an interpreter. "He can sprint down
the runway, rise on his own mo
mentum and clear the bar by main
atrength. That is why he has vaulted
14 feet 4T* and 14 feet 6 for the indoor
and outdoor records.
"You’ll notice that I use different
form In approaching the bar. In
Japan we come down the runway with
a high kicking step, aiming for bal
ance and spring more than anything
else. We do not weigh so much and
a light pole is enough to pull us over.
In the air we rely on acrobatics—
the kick, the snap—to clear the bar.
My oountryman. Nishida, who finished
second to Meadows in the last Olym
pics, la much more proficient at it
than I.”
Of course. Mr. Ohe is being com
paratively modest when he says this.
Mr. Ohe can vault in any man’s
league. His first start in this country,
following a acant three days of prac
tice after a 9,000-mile journey, saw
him defeat VarofI and Earl Meadows
with ft leap of 14 feet 3. In that
meet he was using brand-new poles,
his own tools of bamboo having splin
tered like pieces of chalk on the long
voyage from the Mikado's hangout.
Concentration Did It.
“T CLEARED that height just by con
oentrating on it,” says Mr. Ohe.
“I don’t think I can do it again this
aeason. My anly chance to beat Varoff
and Meadows again is if they still are
a little off form.
"I think ideal form for a pole
vaulter is to go over the bar with
your body shaped like a wedge, or an
Inverted V, bent double. That gives
you the maximum clearance with the
least effort. Meadows, from what I’ve
seen of him so far, is still forcing him
self too high—soaring too much. That
means that he wastes his best efforts
on a low bar.
"To me, the American vaulter with
the best form and technique was Keith
Brown of Yale—on the rim, the take
off and the clearance. I know that
Varoff has vaulted higher, but Brown
never had the pressure that Varoff has.
"Varoff is under pressure, because
he is vaulting against better vaUlters.
That is the great thing about Amer
ican athletes. The more you press
them the better they do. In our first
meeting Varoff was left behind. But
my vault of 14 feet 3 inches put the
pressure on him, and at the next meet,
in Boston, he vaulted to a new indoor
record of 14, 4?*.
Sees Another Win by IT. S.
“T EXPECT America will win the
■*" next Olympic* in Tokio for the
aame reason. When somebody else
does a thing well, the Americans do
it better. I don’t think they have
reached their limit in any track or field
event.”
Mr. Ohe will be seen again tomorrow
Night in the New York Athletic Club
games in Madison Square Garden,
vaulting for the third time this season
against Varoft and Meadows. So,
among other foreign threats, will
Luigi Beccali, former Olympic .1,500
meter champion and record-holder,
and Mlkloe Szabo, the Hungarian
znller.
Last week in Boston Mr. Szabo be
came a victim of the same fate that
overtook Paavo Nurmi the only time
the Flying Finn was defeated in his
tour of this country. Mr. Nurmi, if
you remember, lost a race to Willie
Rltolft—whom he disliked as much as
he ever disliked anything—because he
N»d consumed a succulent veal pot
pie shortly before the contest. The
veal pot pie caught up with Mr. Nurmi
toward the close of the race and laid
him out like a carpet.
In Mr. Szabo's case it was a roast
loin of pork, floating in gravy and
washed down with a couple of steins
of milk, that spelled disaster. Ameri
can track experts were horrified when
they heard of it, and it is a safe bet
that Mr. Szabo. in his next time out,
will run without benefit of the stock
yards.

TWO BOUTS READY
FOR BAER RETURN
Foord or Farr in England,
Pastor in New York Are
Prospective Foes.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 24—Max
Adelbert Baer, who was ready
to retire from the ring for good
after dropping his heavyweight
championship to Jim Braddock and
then absorbing a beating from Joe
Louis, was back in the midst of the
fight argument today with two bouts
waiting for him.
Max has contracts for a bout hi
England May 6 against either Ben
Foord or Tommy Farr and for a bout
here against Bob Pastor in Madison
Square Garden March 19 He also
has a British promoter, Brig. Gen.
Alfred Cecil Critchley, on hand to
persuade him to go through with the !
London fight.
The affair may be settled at today’s
meeting of the New York State Ath
letic Commission, when the Pastor
bout will come up for approval. Max
was summoned for questioning about
his often damaged hands and perhaps
some other matters, before the New
York solons would approve the match.
May Deprive Braddock of Title.
VlfHILE every one concerned in the
Braddock-Schmeling-Louis fight
feud remained silent yesterday, reports
were current that Braddock would be
deprived of his title by the New York
commission if he should fail to appear
for the June 3 bout with Max
Schmeling.
However, no action is due for some
time. According to its regular pro
cedure. the commission can't assume
Braddock will not show up until he
fails to comply with its rule requiring
him to be in training within its juridlc
tion for five days preceding the bout.
It also was reported that Schmeling
would lay claim to the crown if it was
taken from Braddock. In that case
Max probably would be matched with
the best available heavyweight and
the winner recognized in New York
as champion. Even then it wouldn't

TIME SUPPLY FAST I

Rosemont, Mr. Bones Highly
Regarded for Big Race on
Coast Saturday.

New YORK, February 24.—
Students of thoroughbred
breeding and performance ad
here to the maxim that “class
will tell" in a horse race and expect
the winner of Saturday’s $100,000
Santa Anita Handicap to be one of
three proven distance runners—Time
Supply, Rosemont or Mr. Bones.
F. A. Carreaud’s Time Supply,
though raced seldom this Winter,
worked the Santa Anita distance of a
mile and a quarter in an impressive
2.053s recently. Time Supply, now
6 years old, has won $144,560 during
his racing career, more than any
probable starter in the Far West
classic.
Rosemont Believed Fit.
VVTILLIAM DUPONT, JR.’S Rose
T mont also has confined his rac
ing efforts to fast company and dem
onstrated his fitness for the rich
stake by winning the San Antonio
Handicap at Santa Anita last Sat
urday. His racing time, 1.50ft for a
mile and an eighth, was not particu
larly impressive, but the victory doubt
less made him ready for his best effort
this week end. Rosemont is 5 years
old.
John Hay Whitney’s Mr. Bones, a
4-year-old. failed in the San Antonio,
but the added distance of the Santa
Anita Handicap is expected to be to
. his liking. His best performances \
during the 3-year-old campaign, when
he pressed William Woodward's cham
pion. Granville, vigorously, in several I
route races, were at a mile and a ,
quarter.
Time Supply has the beet record In
previous Santa Anita Handicaps. He i
was third in the 1935 inaugural and
second to A. A. Barom's Top Row last
year. Rosemont was third in last :
year's renewal. Mr. Bones will be
making his first Santa Anita Handi
cap start Saturday.

FOUR-PLAYER DEAL
P. Bausch, Kahn for Kawal,
Michaels of Bears Is
Reported Brewing.
FOUR-PLAYER deal. Involving
the Washington Redskins and
the Chicago Bears o( the Na
tional League, was reported
brewing today. If consummated it
will be the first deal put through by
the Redskin management since trans
fer of its franchise here from Boston.
Washington is said to be seeking
Center Ed Kawal and Guard Ed
Michaels of the Bears in exchange
for Center Pete Bausch and Guard
Eddlp Kahn. No cash consideration
was mentioned.
Kawal Helps Win Title. !
1/ AWAL, who learned his college
foot ball at Illinois, from where
he graduated in 1932 with a B. S.
degree, has played three years with
the Bears, helping to win the league
championship in 1934. He is 27 years
old, weighs 197 pounds and stands 6
feet 2. Michaels, the baby of the
group at 22, was accorded all-America
mention in his senior year at Villa
nova, where he graduated last June
with a B. S.
He further enhanced his reputation
with a fine exhibition as a member of
the College All-Stars against the De
troit Lions at Soldiers' Field last
September, and then enjoyed a suc
cessful season in his pro debut with
the Bears. Michaels, 197 pounds and
5 feet 10, is rated one of the fastest
guards in pro foot ball.
Washington Would Have Edge.
IF THE swap is made, Washington
will benefit with respect to youth,
for Bausch and Kahn are 27 and 24, \
respectively. Bausch, whose brother
Jim was Olympic decathlon champion
in 1932, is a Kansas University prod
uct and has played three seasons as
the Redskins’ regular center. A stand
out on defense, he weighs 218 pounds
and towers 6 feet 2tj. Kahn is one
of the many star pro gridders whose
college performance never attracted
much attention—except from pro
scouts. In 1935 he played on the
same North Carolina U. eleven with
George Barclay, who was named all
America guard and then failed to
make good his promise when he en
tered professional ranks. Kahn was
a valued guard on the Redskins’ East
ern championship combination last
Pall.

TERPS. C. U. SEEK
Battle N. C. S., St. Thomas’,
Conquerors—Maryland Is
Upset by St. John’s.
Basket ball team* of both
Maryland and Catholic Uni
versities tonight will have op
portunities to avenge defeat*
suffered out of town earlier this sea
son as the Terps play host to North
Carolina State and C. U. entertains
St. Thomas. The game at College Parle
starts at 8 o'clock, and the one at
Brookland at 8:30.
Surprisingly upset by St. John's of
Annapolis. 39-37. last night, Maryland
will face a Wolfpack five that nosed
it out, 35-33, in overtime, at Raleigh,
N. C., last month. The Terps have
only a bare chance to remain eligible
for the Southern Conference's annual
tournament, limited to the eight teams
with the best record. A defeat by the
Carolinians might not be fatal, but
would push the Terps that much
nearer the edge of obilivion.
Only Team to Cheek Sehmarr.
yl DOUBLE score to settle with St.
Thomas dominate* the situation
at C. U. Not only did the Pennsyl
vanians whip the Cards at Scranton,
31-26. but the Saints also produced
the only team this year to hold Hermie
Sehmarr. C. U.'s record point getter,
without a field goal.
Sehmarr, averaging 13.60 points per
game this season, got only one against
St. Thomas before being ejected from
the game on personal fouls. His cur
rent percentage is two points a game
better than the average he finished
with last year and only a fraction
lower than his all-time record of col
lege varsity play. Over a 3-year stretch
the big Dutchman has an average of
13.39 points per game.
St. Thomas comes here under the
coaching leadership of Jack Harding,
recently appointed to the head foot
ball coaching job at the University of
Miami.
St. John's Trio in Trim. 1
“UOT HANDS" by Johnny Lambros, '
Bill Ross and Jim Rowe com
bined to give St. John's its 2-point
margin over Maryland in the last 5
minutes of play after the Old Liners
had revived hopes by snatching the
lead at 35-28.
The aforementioned trio, returning
to the line-up after a siege of illness,
put the Johnnies in the fight from
the start. Neither team could make
much headway in the first half, which
ended in a 16-16 deadlock.
The last 20 minutes simply was a
case of a team which was "on” catch
ing a rival which was "off." which,
despite a none-too-lmpressive record,
still was favored to lick its intra
state rival from Annapolis.
