TEN BIGGEST SPORTS STORIES GIVEN BY GOULD Maxie And Eleanor Lead The Parade, Others Given By ALAN GOULD new YORK, Dec. 30.—(/Pi—The only definite conclusion we can reach after hop-sklp-and-Jumplng »oine 25,000 miles around the sport ing premises this year is that 1936 tops 'em all—since the war—for a< combination of athletic storms and j earthquakes, headaches and ear- j aches, melodrama and high-falutin’ exploits by our boys and girls. At home or abroad, it’s been the dizziest year we can recall since Babe Ruth first began his main bombardment, Louis Tirpo knocked Jack Dempsey out of the ring. Man O War was the king horse, Paavo Nurmi ran all the foot racers rag ged, and Bob Jones was the "boy wonder" of golf. Did we say stormy? Two of the year's biggest, most spectacular golf tournaments, the Augusta National and the United .States amateur at Garden City, were lashed by such terrific gales of wind and rain that non-combatants scurried for their lives .... But they were Just zephyrs compared to the tempestuous voyage of our Olympic lads and lasses, cul minating in the expulsion cf the comely Eleanor Holm Jarrett for imbibing too much champagne. Tremors7 just a coupie, tne xnocK out of Joe Louis and the downfall of Minnesota after three unbeaten seasens, will give you an Idea of the shocks to which the experts were subjected in the line of duty . . . But major league baseball's threatened upheaval was averted when Commissioner Landis ruled the brilliant young pitcher, Bob Feller, could stay with Cleveland for a nominal fee. Super-colossal? The Olympics were nothing else but—a combina tion of pageantry, nationalistic fer vor. and exploits excelling anything in athletic history and leaving even the Greeks grouping for a word to describe it. We give you, without further de bate. the ten sporting episodes of 1936 that packed the biggest punch, the most exciting elements or mo ments. the greatest individual ex ploits: No. 1.

COACHES MEET CONSIDERS BIG GRID PROBLEMS Pass And Subsidy Is In Background Now By SID FEDER NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—(^—Al though athletic subsidization and the forward pass interference rul ing apparently haven’t given the collegiate athletic bigwigs much trouble at their annual meetings, they have found plenty of chances to "view with alarm” in other fields. Subsidization, the national col legiate athletic association has been told, should be a matter for in dividual colleges; and, anyway, the situation isn't nearly as bad as it was back in the gridiron’s days of guards back and walrus moustach es. The forward pass interference problem, said Lou Little of Colum bia. head of the football coaches rules contmittee, isn’t a problem at all, because there doesn’t seem to be “any real sentiment for chang ing the present, rule.” But, as the meetings headed to ward their windup today, the ses sions had uncovered these situa tions; (D—The N.

(Associated Press Photos) SPORTS SLANTS The professional sports promoters found some nice pickings in amateur ranks this past year. The prize package, of course, was Fred Per ry, British international tennis star. Lawson Little, two-time American and British amateur golf cham pion, must be rated not far behind Perry. And as usual following the Olympic Games a flock of lesser lights heeded the call to moneyed ranks. Perry's signing with the promot ers came as no great surmise, for it was pretty generally known that the Englishman had been flirting with offers for the past two or three years. The English ace waited until he regained all his lost laurels and added a few hew ones to his col lection before entertaining any pro positions to turn pro. When the time was ripe, after he had helped England successfully defend the Davis cup and had regained the U. S. singles "crown, he gave the bidders his undivided attention. Lawson Little simply decided that the time had come when he could no longer afford to Indulge in long and vigorous golf tournaments for glory. He had to earn his own living as well as take care of his wife. A sporting goods manufactur er came forward with a very tempt ing proposition and in no time at all Little had joined the ranks of "businessman golfers." He could play all the golf he wanted to— and get paid handsomely for it. Jesse Owens has not actually en gaged in a foot race as a profes sional. but he admits that he has capitalized on his Olympic fame to the tune of some $50,000. Any one of his many professional ventures would be enough to bar him from further amateur competition. He is scheduled to make his pro foot-racing debut in Havana as part of the Cuban National Sports Festi val. He will take part in a 100 yard race between the halves of a foot ball game. Some reports have it that he will race against a thor oughbred horse. The nag might be able to give him some real competi tion—something Owens lacked in the amateur ranks. Torrance Turns ai nasi Giant Jack Torrance, the former | Louisiana State athlete, put off his I plunge into the pro ranks until af ter he had a fling at Olympic glory. Once he got the Olympic Games ; out of his system, he lost no time l signing up with Mike Jacobs for a ; career in the fight game. He flgur ! ed that his enormous bulk the i weighs about 280) and his fame ns ; a shot-putter (he holds the world j record of 57 feet 1 inch) would make him a real attraction at the gate. i Several of the girls who were members of the U 8 Olympic swimming team likewise decided to capitalize on their fame Mrs Dor othy Poynton Hill led the group of female stars who banded together for a tour of the country, figuring that they had gained all the ath ! letlc glory they needed and could | make use of a little ready cash. even at the expense of their ama j teur standing. “ORANGE BOWL” DRILLS PRIVATE Clipper Chases Two Coaches From Field MIAMI.
