Here's a little pick me up for the
Over-Confidence of Wrestlers
May Spell Own Doom in Con
test at Madame Bey's
By GAYLE TALBOT
New York, Dec. 30.—(P)—The spell
ing bee of this or any other century
you care to mention is going to be
sprayed over the nation's airways on
the night of Jan. IS from Madame
Bey's little red schoolhouse near Sum
mit, N. J.
The principals, respectfully, will be
five boxers of no specified weight
and an equal number of wrestlers, and
they're going to spell it out to a fin
ish while the country listens.
Mushky Jackson, known far and
wide as a man who can give the Eng
lish language a licking on any occa
sion, has been chosen captain and in
spirational leader of the boxers. He's
picking his team now with consider
able care and intends to put them
through a thorough course of training
on words as high as three syllables.
Tentatively selected already are
Tommy Farr, Henry Armstrong, Na
than Mann and Frankie Blair.
Over-confidence might be the wres
tlers' worst enemy, at that. Ray Fa
bianl, mat czar of New York and its
environs, regards the result as a fore
gone conclusion if the thing's on the
up-and-up.
Why it's going to be ludicrous,
matching these boys of mine against
those resin-monkeys," said the for
mer concert violinist as he enjoyed a
fat after-dinner cigar. "Half those
boxers couldn't spell beer. I can put
a full team of college graduates in
there if I want to.
"Can you Imagine telling guys like
Bronko Nagurski, Jim McMillen, Dean
Detton, Gus Sonnenberg or Vincent
Lopez how to spell? Every one of
them finished some university and
Lopez was an accountant before he
entered the ring."

Picture a brown-furred monster

raised for the blow that kills and
death-dealing fangs bared in
terrifying grin, and you'll under
stand why Alaskan hunters took
no chances when they killed the
Kodiak bear whose hide is shown
this week in the window at Klein's
Toggery.
All that remains now of this
lord of the north, said to be the
second-largest bear ever taken out
of the Kodiak peninsula, is a rug,
warm and beautiful to look at
and mute momento of the
strength of the dpad animal it
once protected from the cold.
The giant bear brought dls
truction upon himself, according
to the story told here by Fred
Larson, Chicago clothing sales
man who owns the rug and who
loaned it to Ed Klein to exhibit in
his store window while he stopped
here. The bear's hunger for cat
tle was what sealed his doom,
Larson told Klein.
Out on some lonely island off
the coast of Alaska, a solitary
settler noticed that some animal
was destroying his cattle, and re
solved to take steps to end this
expensive slaughter. But when he
caught sight of the huge bear
wisdom over-ruled valor and he
rowed off to a nearby island for
help, returning with several other
doughty hunters.
The party, trekking along a
ledge on a canyon wall, caught
sight of the big bear below them.

Tribune 1, Coman Court
Quints Wednesday Night
Assuming for the evening the role of
giant killers. Tribune No. 2 keglers
took punishing cracks at leadership
aspirations of two title contenders in
Commercial bowling league play Wed
nesday night.
The lowly last-place quintet opened
by taking two out of three games
from Coman Cour's in-and-out loop
leaders and followed with a similar
triumph over their most cordial rivals,
the higher-ranking Tribune No. 1 en
try.
In one other game Tribune No. 1
earned a better than even break for
the evening by taking three straight
games from Red Owl's hitherto
second-place outfit. The defeats of
the Red Owl and Coman Court teams
left Coca Cola firmly ensconced in
first position in the league standings.
Kelly's Lunch Wins
Four records were smashed by one
team Tuesday night when Kelly's
Lunch, hard-shooting pace-setters in
the City league, took three straight
games from Service Electric, third
place entry.
The Kelly's Lunch quintet chalked
up new marks in the team three-game
score and single game departments,
replacing their own old marks both
times. The new high single game
tally, 2,799, replaces the former mark
oi 2,768, while the new single game
record, 984, takes over instead of the
old mark of 976.
D. Schneider shattered the former
three-game individual record, his 642
outclassing A.' Schneider's previous
record of 619, and moved into second
place as far as single-game individual
tallying is concerned with a 254. An

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30,1937
Hunters Take No Chances
With Giant Kodiac Bearl
One shot was fired, and the ani
mal, growling with rage and pain,
crawled off into a thicket. The
hunters could hear their quary
growling and threshing about In
the thicket but were uncertain
whether he was badly or only
slightly wounded, and dared not
approach him to find out. Finally,
when Sir Bear did not re-appear,
they gave up and returned home.
The next day they found him
dead in the brush, his back
broken by the high-powered rifle
bullet.
Larson's uncle happened to be
in Alaska at the time and
chanced to see the hide, bought
it and brought it ^ack to the
States with him. Here he gave it
to Jjarson, who shelled out $200
to have it made into a rug in
Denver.
When killed, the bear weighed
1,900 pounds and measured 10
feet 11 inches from tip of nose to
tip of tail, Larson said. Standing
on its hind feet, it would measure
all of 12 feet high, he declared.
Its claws are more than 3 inches
long, the enameled portion of its
powerful teeth lis inches long.
The largest carnivorous animal
In the world, the Kodiak bear is
ordinarily a peaceable animal.
But once he is molested, look out.
Bullets fail to stop him once he
charges at close quarters, hunters
who know say. Hence the reason
experienced huntsmen take no
chances when this member of the
family Ursldae is the quarry.

ing of Joseph William Rue, pro
moted from the American Association.
Rue, whose addition to the staff was
announced Wednesday night by Pres.
Will Harridge, started his umpiring
career with the Virginia league in
1925, spent the next six years In the
American Association, transferred to
the Pacific Coast league for a three'
year stay, and returned to the associa
tlon in 1934.
Although only two vacancies were
created—by the retirement of the
veteran Bill Dlnneen and the trans
fer of C. E. Johnston to the American
Association, three "freshmen" were
signed. Previously, Bddle Rommel,
former pitching star, who worked
last year In the International league,
and Charles Grieve, another Ameri
can Association graduate, were added.

Coaches Turn to
Motion Pictures
At Grid Meeting
of
Chicago, Dec. 30.—It looks as
though Minnesota's Gophers will be
tough to pry loose from their share of
the Big Ten basketball championship.
The Gophers, who tied Illinois for
the 1937 conference title, continued to
dazzle New York fans Wednesday
night by cutting down New York uni
versity's previously undefeated team,
36-31, before 18,000 in Madison Square
Garden.
Reoommended Rule Chang*
Would Bring Ball 15 Yards
in From Sidelines
New Orleans, Dec. 30.—(^—Foot
ball coaches in convention turned
Thursday to motion pictures, which
have played an increasingly import
ant part in the gridiron sport.
Use of the camera for Improving a
team's play was up for discussion by
a half doxen top-ranking coaches,
who advocate It as an essential for
correcting faults of individual play
ers.
The coaches Wednesday agreed that
prevailing rules were pretty much all
right with exception of two slight
changes which Lou Little of Columbia
university, chairman of the rules com
mittee, said would help the offense.
Athletic directors of the smaller in
stitutions meanwhile pondered ques
tions involving gate receipts, football
crowds and football dollars.
Xnxnry Sport'
They were told by Dr. John H.
Nichols, director of athletics at Ober
lin college, that football «as "a lux
ury sport" at colleges having less than
1,000 students and that the athletic
departments at such Institutions
should be conducted along the same
lines as any other department—on
a budget responsible to the adminis
tration.
One of the changes recommended
by the rules committee would bring
the ball in 15 yards from the sidelines
instead of 10 when it goes out of
bounds or is downed closer than that
yardage to the line. The other would
make a forward pass that inadvert
ently was touched by an
man behnid the line of scrimmage
count as a down instead of loss of the
ball.
Little did not agree with a number
of coaches who thought the defense
had surpassed the offense. He said
the present rules were sound and
with the exception of a minor change
here and there nothing was needed.
