Mr BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 193T Big Field of Men and Women Nimrbds Inaugurate Lido Traps HOW WOULD YOU STOP HIM? Dailey Gains Squash Final With Ablowich Some Unsung Stars Of Gridiron Shone On Colgate Teams 4 rr.w.-r ffiaMMtiiWiMWl WWIti Helen Hicks Proves As Accurate With Gun As With Golf Clubs More Mentors Of Football on Their Way Out Special to The Eagle Long Beach, L. Dec. 19 With a field of 19 men and 14 women the new traps of the Lido Country Club opened here today. Probably no other club in the country has a more picturesque location for a set of traps. These are so placed that the targets are thrown out over the ocean, the gunners using the swimming pool as a clubhouse.

Today there was a large gallery along the boardwalk watching the sport, which promises to be exceedingly popular. The program called for a 50 "bird" race for men and a 25 "bird" shoot for women. There were no scratch prizes. Seven Have Quit at Big Schools Some Forced -Only One Post Filled The swift and almost certain fate that befalls the football coach who fails to deliver the kind of football his school demands has taken heavy toll this year of the country's leading gridiron mentors. The forced resignation of Al Witt-mer as head coach of Princeton football brings to seven the list of major schools which will have new headmen next year, and the end Is not yet In sight.

Several retirements have been voluntary, as were those of Navy Bill Ingram from the Naval Acad By GEORGE CURRIE Thomas J. Patterson, who hails from Chenango Valley, where Colgate players strive and succeed for the Maroon, raises a question concerning All-America players which is more or less apt. He wants to know why Colgate's all-time heroes are so seldom given a break when this department waxes sentimental each year over the approach of the Maroon-Syracuse annual battle. "It is apparent that you are far more familiar with Syracuse football stars of the past than with those who have brought athletic honors to Colgate," he writes.

It lists, besides the great Huntington, Earl Abell, 204 pounds of Walter Camp choice for tackle in 1915; Oo Anderson, Belf West and Steamer Horning at tackle, all In 1916; Eddie Tryon, halfback, in 1925, and Leonard Ma-caluso, In 1930. And, of course, Orsi qualifies, if anybody does, this year. OTHERS AT COLGATE WORTHY OF HONORS There were, however, a pair In Colgate history that did not make the Christmas turkey shoot over the Mineola traps of the Nassau Trapl shooting Club, yesterday. In addition to turkeys going to the two highest scratch scores, there was a "kicker's handicap" In which there were seven prizes, a Skeet shoot, in which also there was another "kicker's handicap." The best work was done by R.

H. Helsel who won the first turkey by brcawlng 50 straight targets. The second scratch bird went to P. E. Gardner.

In the kickers shoot, the turkeys were taken by E. Kohler, E. E. Jones, E. J.

Stillwagon, C. Stillwagon, J. Hulson, C. L. Carter, and N.

Piccione. The winner of the Skeet shoot was P. E. Gardner. He had 44.

In the kickers handicap, the turkeys were won by W. Slmonson, P. Cer-rlets, H. S. K.

Munsle, N. Piccione, and A. Hoffman. The conditions were excellent, and the majority of the scores were high. The scores: Name Hit Heap Tl.

and Louis B. Dailey Jr. of the Princeton Club reached the final round of the special Class squash tennis tournament yesterday at the City A. a The pair will meet in the final on Tuesday evening at 8:30. Ablowich, seeded No.

8, was the only one of the preferred group to get to the final bracket, and in so doing accounted for the defeat, of two seeded stars, Frank V. Brodil and yesterday's opponent, Seymour L. Samuels, a clubmate. In his match with Samuels, Ablowich displayed an excellent brand of squash and because of this Is favored to beat Dailey in the final. Against Samuels, whom he beat 1818, 1J 15, 188, 154, Ablowich showed great skill in making gets whtle his clever placement shots generally ended the long rallies in his favor.

Ablowich bothered his opponent greatly by mixing his shots and once he got going was unbeatable. In the last game Ablowich ran up 14 points before Samuels was able to make a point. Dailey accounted for the defeat of John N. Schermerhorn of the Crescent Athletic-Hamilton Club, 159, 1512, 153. The Brooklyn player seemed a bit tired from his previous tournament matches and, with the exception of the second game, he never seemed able to reach his true form.

Dailey lead In each game and he had little trouble in setting back the New Mooner. Dailey has been something of a dark horse in this tournament and has won all his matches in straight games. Dailey's way in the tournament was made easy when O. C. Stanton beat N.

C. Willett in the first round, thus allowing Dailey to remain unhindered by seeded players. Tulane Grid Team Entrains for Coast New Orleans, Dec. 19 (P) Before boarding the train tonight for the Pacific Coast to meet Southern California in the Rose Bowl New Year's Day, Tulane's Green Wave was run through a course from A to in football practice. "We threw the book at them," said Bernie Blerman.

The players believe they can whip the Pacific Coast champions if they fight together, but their head coach, Bierman, voices through a sad mouth this comment: "We have no hopes of winning, but we do hope to hold down the score and make it an interesting game."

METZGER- 'Bad Joe' Hall Sent Patrick and Gerard To Hockey Cleaners By HAROLD C. BURR "He laid on the wood," say the old-time hockey men, gingerly feeling of their scalps and bridgework, where the stick of Bad Joe Hall landed. Like Georges Vezljia, Bad Joe Hall Is dead, struck down in all his arrogant prime by an enemy he couldn't check Into the boards or fight with his stick the flu epidemic of a decade ago.

But wherever referees' whistles blow and players go on laggard skates to the penalty box Bad Joe Hall is remembered. Many a time he took the short journey to the jeers of crowded Canadian crowds. The winner of the High Handicap Cup lor men was Lt. L. E.

The other two who resigned under fire were John F. (Chick) Meehan at New York University and Burt Ingwer-sen at the University of Iowa, according to the Associated Press. Gloom in Jungletown Wlttmer's retirement came after the most disappointing season in Tiger football history climaxed by a 51-14 defeat by Yale. Meehan was forced out not be cause he wasn't a good coach but because the university decided it would go in for de-emphasizing of football after several years of In flation. Ingwersen has never been particu larly successful at Iowa since he went there in 1924 and the house- cleaning forced by the Western Con ference on the Hawkeyes two years ago handed them a blow from which they have not yet recovered.

Iowa won only one game during the year. In addition to the football coaches, athletic director George Little of Wisconsin, resigned Just as a legis latlve committee began an Invest! gatlon of his department's finances. Glenn Thlstlethwaite, brought by Little from Northwestern as head football coach three years ago, Is said to be on his way out also. Law Chose to Get Out Among those resignations which are listed as voluntary was that of John Law, Notre Dame captain of 1929 who decided not to return to Manhattan College; Russ Cohen's transfer from the head coaching Job at Louisiana State to an assistant's post under Uncle Dan McGugin at Vanderbilt, and Bernie Bierman's departure from Tulane for Minnesota. Bierman's departure from Tulane, after winning the Southern Conference championship and getting the Rose Bowl invitation, padallels the case of Wallace Wade, who left Alabama for Duke after similar success in 1930.

Only one of the vacant posts has been definitely filled, Ted Cox, Tulane line coach, stepping into Bierman's shoes Louisiana State' apparently is negotlatinj with Capt. L. M. (Biff) Jones, former Army coach and present assistant athletic director at West Point. After a long conference in New Orleans, State authorities said, no decision had been reached.

National League Players Face Cut, Heydler Reports Youngsters Like Pepper Martin to Get Boost Breadon Off for Rest Except for extraordinary cases among the younger players, such as Pepper Martin, who has been assured a substantial raise, the National League baseball policy calls for general revision of the payroll downward for 1932. The magnates are agreed on President John A. Heydler declared-yesterday, but they are handling their own affairs Independently and as the circumstances may dictate. "Any exceptions to this policy," Heydler said, "naturally concern younger players like Martin who have come along sensationally. They start in at small salaries.

Naturally their performances are being considered by the club owners In making out next year's contracts and they will be fairly dealt with. "On the other hand many salaries have shot upward as a result of better times. Some are entirely out of proportion. These will be graded downward." Breadon Off to Bahamas Speaking of Pepper Martin, the president of the world champion St. Louis Club, Sam Breadon, anticipates no trouble coming to terms with the spectacular young outfielder, says the Associated Press.

In town on his way to the Bahamas for a month's vacation, Breadon said: "Martin Is not yet signed. We haven't yet sent him a contract but he will get a raise, of course. He is not the troublesome type of player. I don't expect any difficulty signing him or the rest of the Cardinals." Breadon is willing to consider a good deal for Hack Wilson but he made it clear the former Chicago Cub home-run champion is "not on the bargain counter." TO CONTINUE GRID RIVALRY St. Louis OPi Washington University and St.

Louis University will continue their series for the city collegiate football championship at least another year, it was announced by athletic authorities of the two schools. Please send check for Eagle' a Ncedjett CoMea. According to Francis Ouimet, skill In golf is possible only when we learn to master Iron play. This being so, lt would seem from certain recent developments In and Columbus that, as a nation, we are on the eve of lower and better medal rounds. The idea leading to this end is illuminated night golf In All-America rating because Walter Camp, in their day, could see no further than Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania, occasionally Cor nell and, upon extreme rare occasions, a place here and there out where the West begins.

No Colgate all-time team would be complete without the names of Riley Castleman and Walter Runge. They were so astonishing that even in a day when a smaller college'! stars were born to blush unseen, they made the supercilious "Old Line" university men gabble In their club corners, "I hear they've got a couple of big fellows up-State." Another great Colgate player wa Oillo, who was unlucky enough to be performing In a year when the all-star pickers felt obliged to shut down on the Colgate selections to let the other colleges have a chance to appear in the line-up. And we shouldn't forget Indian Yablok, one of the smartest quarterbacks ever turned out by the Maroon. And that great kicking guard, Dumont, who punted N. Y.

U. Into misery a few years ago with an average of somewhat over 50 yards. BAY RIDGE READER LIKES BARRY WOOD Picking All-America teams, while lt is a little more than pulling names out of a hat, still offers a good many headaches to the pickers. The net results seem to be only complaints from subscribers. Thus, one who signs himself "Naughty-Five" from Bay Ridge writes in to give this department the razzberry for putting Barry Wood of Harvard on the second team.

"Perhaps you have read," he says, "that young Mr. Wood was chosen by the board of coaches for the quarterback position and now Col lier's puts him on a real team, too. What was the matter when you went to Cambridge? Were you listening to Ted Huslng Instead of paying attention to the players?" This department timidly explained that Oalus Shaver of Southern California was given the call over Barry Wood because In addition to being a great field general, he was a better ball-carrier. Good old Grant-lapd Rice ducked the Wood-Shaver controversy by putting Barry at quarterback nd Gus at fullback. A stroke of genius, I calls lt.

However, then "Naughty-Five" goes on to say: "I went up to thai Yankee Stadium to see Tennessee) play N. Y. U. and I thought I saw a guard named Herman Hickman of the Volunteers practically single-handed stop all N. Y.

chances to score. Imagine, then, my delight to see you put him on the second team. If I hadn't seen Catfish! Smith of Georgia play In the YaleJ Bowl, I would say that all the best! players you put on your second team. How you happened to slia up and put Smith on the first team Is one of those mysteries which prove you 'experts are so busy playing the game on your typewriters you don't have a chance to seel what goes on down on the field." That reference to Hickman was blow below the belt. Hermle belongs on anybody's first All-America team.

I won't even try) to pretend that he Just had one) good day against N. Y. because) I found out from Southern correspondents that every Saturday) had been a good day for Hickman, EVERY FOOTBALL FAN HAS OWN SELECTIONS Albert Walling of 1875 Hlmrod St. goes right after the pickers by submitting his own selections, and one gathers that this department can take 'em or leave 'em. And they run thus: L.

H. B. Ernest Rentner, Northwestern. F.B. Ernest Pinckert, Southern California.

As for this Barry Wood matter, this department heard all about its failure to make Barry No. 1 quarterback from its wife. As was noted In this column earlier In the season, the women were all voting for Harvard's Phi Beta Kappa star. In 1929 it was Alble Booth. Ia1 1930 It was divided between Marchmont Schwarts of Notre Dame and Catfish Smith of Georgia.

In 1931 it was Barry Wood. You will notice each had a one-syllable last name and an easy-flowing two-syllable first name. What this means I know not, except that their names were easy to remember and also easy to put into newspaper headlines. 20 90 22 85 12 84 s- ILLUMINATED 9 Holes LENGTH 1065 YAR05 Hall was cruel, loyal and repent- ent. Once Lester Patrick was slashed viciously across the eyes by the bad one and spent the next ten days in a dark room.

But that same after noon Patrick had gone shopping with him to buy a dress for his wife Joe had wanted him to pick it out. Bad Joe knocked loose four of Eddie Gerard's teeth on another memorable occasion and came around to the hotel afterward, sobbing like a baby, to apologize. "If somebody told him to go out and get you he would do lt if you were his best friend," Patrick sums up Hall's character in a handful of words. "But he would sob his heart out i remorse In the dressing room." JOE BORN IN MIDDLE OF HOCKEY COUNTRY Canada is just one vast hockey rink in the Winter, with one goal roughly at Montreal and the other at Vancouver, 3,000 miles away. Midway Is the little town of Brandon in Manitoba.

That was the prairie home of Bad Joe Hall. But he wasn't Bad Joe Hall then. He was Laughing Joe Hall. And Laughing Joe he remained for years after he entered hockey. He had a vast appreciation for a funny story.

As the climax neared his lower jaw would drop, and when the point was reached he would open his big mouth and guffaw. It wasn't until they took him off the forward line and placed him back on the defense that Joe Hall's temper was spoiled. That's because a hockey player has more temptation to lay on the wood while defending his goal than he has carrying the puck down the Ice. There's more chance of rough checking. It was when they changed Joe's position that they also changed nicknames.

Hockey didn't have the rules then lt has now. When players fought on the ice they didn't receive a major penalty. The police jumped over the dasher and they really went to Jail appearing in the Canadian courts in the mornftg. The clerk would often call the name of Joe Hall. NEWSY LALONDE HIS PET AVERSION Our belligerent hero here broke into the game when there was no pro hockey in Canada, Just rough hockey.

He first did his forwarding with the Winnipeg Rowing Club. Then he wTnt home to play senior hockey in and around Brandon. The Montreal Shamrocks, the Quebec Bulldogs, Les Canadlens those were his uniforms or as many of them as haven't become so frayed and faded as to be unrecognizable. Somewhere In those lineups he went on the defense. He was always In a mlxup with somebody who came skating down upon him, laying on the wood.

For years he carried on a little private war with Newsy Lalonde, another great name out cf hockey's dramatic and little known past. The whole story of that can never be written. Some of lt couldn't be passed by any censor. But lt was give and take from the first. One night Hall would come off the ice the victor, the tip of his stick broken and bloody, the next it would be Lalonde who would grin through split lips.

Lalonde was calculating, trickey, remorseless. Hall slashed and maimed, but the next minute he was sorry. "You ought not to do that, Joe," a soft-hearted teammate would remonstrate as the latest Hall victim was cut down. "That kid's got a mother who thinks the world of him." The bad man's eyes would fill up and he would turn away without saying a word, all the fight knocked out of him for the rest of the evening. He was Just a big boy who fought to live, who was in deathly fear of being thought a coward.

The last words he whispered were that all the boys be told that he died game, a look of Intense anxiety in his fading eyes. Built like a tomcat, with long arms and legs, Joe Hall was a fast, hard-riding forward In the old days of seven-man hockey. He was a scoring defense man, too, and a hard blocker. Always he took a vast pride in his work. If a game was scheduled to begin at 8:30 of an evening Hall was in the dressing room four hours before the blowing of the whistle-picking out his sticks, running his thumb along the edge of his skates.

It was sharp skates that took him Into trouble and strong sticks that got him out of it. HE CARRIE DEADLY GERMS TO VANCOUVER Hall was twice a Stanley Cup player. The last time he traveled to the Pacific Coast with Les Canadlens. On the way he left the train at Brandon to visit his wife and family. Flu had already broken out In the Hall household.

When Bad Joe kissed his wife good -by and she had wished him luck in the playoffs he carried tlie germs back to his team, and sickness broke out among the squad. Player after player went down Bad Joe Hall the sickest of them all. It was a short, hard fight, the kind that Joe loved best. Perhaps there was repentence afterward. If It was needed.

But the Bad Joe Halls of the world are not really bad boys. They are Just grown-up kids who think lt manly to lay on the wood. "I'm growing old for hockey, Lester," Bad Joe told Patrick Just before the end. "I'd like to play here In Vancouver for you. This Is my wife's home town, you know.

I'd like to have her see me play," a little wistful. Joe wanted his wife to see him play, so he couldn't have thought In the simple, forthright soul of him that he was doing anything wrong when he hit an enemy down upon him and sent him, groaning, to the hospital. It vas -all just a laziest part of the game. i I these two cities over courses of nine and 18 holes respectively; holes of par 3 only, each of which demands an iron to the grass green over grass fairways from a grass tee.

The lighting bills never exceed $20 a night. I shall not attempt to ponder the outcome of this kind of golf, except to say that the men who have Invested their money in It did not do so without first carefully surveying its possibilities. The Chicago promoters seem to be in an excellent position, as their course has proved so popular that business men belonging to nearby daylight clubs who find little time for playing during the week are considering the purchase of this course in order to turn it into a private links for their own use at night. Another Indication of the future possibilities is a perusal of the guest book. Many prominent golf architects, so lt seems, have made special trips from distant points to study the whole scheme and to see whether it is going to prove practical all over the country, real test of skill rather than a trick proposition.

Business on these courses has been satisfactory and prospects indicate it will so continue. The element of novelty which made the now almost defunct outdoor miniature courses tremendously popular for a limited time is lacking. This is golf. Take the West Wilmette course near the center of Chicago's fashionable North Shore suburbs and 24 regular courses. It is built over a heavily wooded, flat territory.

The illuminating engineers solved perfectly the problem presented by the resulting lights and shadows with 125 lights 55 and 75 feet above the ground. Incidentally, the high location of the lights has aided materially in luring away from the players pestiferous bugs. From a transformer station situated on the course the "Juice" Is carried to the lamps via underground cables. The Columbus course of 18 holes covers 20 acres. Income is enhanced here by a driving range in connection with it and by the renting of clubs although half the players bring their own.
