When the Mountain Lions pinned back the ears of the Ramblin' Reds of Bluefield college last night at Athens, to the sad tune of 52-43, it gave Coach Woody Woodell's fine team a clean sweep game series with the Blueflelders, This 1937 hardwood campaign has been noteworthy one--for Concord--if for no other reason than It marked first Concord triumph over Bluefield college in basketball in three. years. If ever a basketball player put on a one-man show, Captain Lewis D'Antoni of Concord did that last night. The little Italian-American boy, one of the finest athletes who ever wore the Concord spangles, or those of any other college, for that matter, personally conducted his teammates to victory. Dan shoved the bloated calfskin through che nets for twenty-tour points.
Seventeen of these were registered during the first half, serving to stake the Mountain Lions to an advantage which gave them the ball game. Dan' Rings Bell Nine Times The black-haired Concord captain fired the leather through the irons nine times from the playing space. He added six more points via the charity route. When Dan was not racking up points himself, his dazzling tipor work was paving the way for other teammates to cash in the tallies. The boy looked like a million bucks.
But on the other hand, Bluefield college has a far better ball team than one would think from looking at it last night. Or from looking at them in either of their Concord contests this year, fact. Coach LeNoir's brilliant team moved onto Athens last nignt record of thirteen wins in fifteen starts to close their season. One of those two defeats had come at the hands of the Mountain Lions, The A Mountain Lions, of course, were favored to win. But Bluefielders had hopes.
They fruitless. Bluefield was outclassed last night. They were far below form. Mullie's boys this season have played their worst against Concord. Fitting Close Most any team would be outclassed in this sort of a league with a guy like D'Antoni going as D'Antoni was going against the Bluefielders.
But it was a fitting close to D'Antoni's home career in a Mountain Lion uniform. When he was taken from the game, to make way for a substitute in the final minutes, the thunderous roar of acclaim which split the rafters of Concord gymnasium has never before been equaled in Concord sport history. D'Antoni began his career at Mullens high school, under Woody Woodell. He finished it at Concord under Woody. It's dollar dimes that Woody has never known prouder moment in his life than that one lest night when D'Antoni walked in the bench, pulled on his sweat jersey and sat down, with the hundreds of Concord followers hysterically shouting their appreciation of one of the finest athletes ever produced in either of the Virginias.
Lions Jump Ahead Concord ahead on the first play of the game and held the whiphand throughout the stormy encounter. After the first few minutes of play, the nearest the Ramblin' Reds came to overhauling the Mountain Lions was when they pulled within six points of the Athenians. ansto with but five minutes of play remaining. But four hurried Lion counters sent the Concordians to the front again, by comfortable margin and definitely settling the issue. Home Team Steps Fast play Conoord of the scored game on when the the opening Lions worked the ball through from center with Shura tossing in a pretty basket, overhead, from the side.
D'Antoni came back with long bucket before Sheffield tallied while covering for Bluefield. Dan then stretched it to 10-2 when he bagged a pair of fielders and added pair of free tosses. Shura and Douthat swapped long bell ringers the Bluefielders broke through with Screwby Crews taking a pass from Douthat loose under the bucket for prety twin counter. Screwby soon after tossed in a one pointer and the teams swapped baskets with Shura ing a long one-handed shot and French shooting the ball in like a rifle to Douthat breaking under the iron. Stephon fired in a long basket from a side angle near mid court to bring the Ramblin' Reds up to 11-14, but Concord moved away when D'Antoni and McComas chalked up six points for the home team for a 20-11 lead.
Bowers pumped in a free toss before Bluefield scored on one of the prettiest down floor advances of the game, Sheffield to French to Woolwine, breaking in fast. But the D'Antoni guy broke loose for two field baskets, one a long one-handed shot and the other covering his own fling. Before the half ended favoring Concord 27-15, Roney points and D'Antoni chalked up charity and Sheffield rang the bell on a fling from corner angle. Bluefield Starts Offense Bluefield opened the second halt with Stephon hammering in a twopoint haymaker while covering, but McComas got, away loose to go under the hoop and bag a crip shot. French and Roney then swapped doubledeckers before D'Antoni very prettily feinted through defense under the hoop to cage another basket.
The two teams then moved along on about even terms until past halfway of the second half, when the Bluefielders started to pull up a bit. The Ramblin' Reds advanced to within six points of the enemy, chiefly through the splendid work ROSEMONT SHOULD BE NOSEMONT BROOM! ROSEMONT of Rosemont that the camera which photo finish decision.

ROOKIES FEATURE TRAINING Recruits Making Strong Bids Against Battling Veterans; News And Gossip From Training Camps In Dixie New York, March 2.

When Gehrig and the Umpire state building chance collapse, first Dahlgren get a base. Fortunately, Dahlgren is one of our more accomplished bench-sitters. He sat on the Boston Red Sox bench waiting for Jimmie Foxx to collapse, and just when "double-x" wavered a little, the Babe was sold to the Yanks. Chet Laabs, another great prospect from Milwaukee, also nas a happy prospect in Detroit. He batted .323 for the last year.
Now all he has to do is bench Gerald Walker Pete Fox Leon Goslin, or Al Simmons do Frank Croucher, up from Beaumont, can also win a place in the Tigers' infield if he beats out Charley Gehringer at second place, Two young hopefuls have the task of replacing their managers. Steve Mesner, who hit .344 for Los Angeles, has his eye on the White Sox hot corner, where Manager Jimmy Dykes holds forth. Young Bobby Doerr, prize youngster from the San Diego club, wants to play second base for the Red Sox. So does Manager Joe Cronin. Jeff Heath, hard-hitting Cleveland rookie from Zanesville, also has a knotty little problem to solve.
He batted .387 last year, and if he can replace Earl Averill Bruce Campbell Roy Weatherly (.355) or Julius Solters (.291) he'll be okay. Things are not quite so tough in the National league, which incidentally, seems to have lost out this year in the race for the best rookies. Earle Browne, first baseman from Minneapolis who hit .328 last year, runs into another iron man in Pittsburgh's Gus Suhr, who has played 784 consecutive games and looks as if he'll go on forever.

"And I'll tell you why. Take Guldahl. He's been a Ane player for years but he's a great one now improvements because in he his made short amazing. From tee to cup, no man in the world has a better game than Guldahl. And he's got the strong heart and steel nerves it takes to ride through an open.
Oakland Hills, scene of the next open Detroit, looks like a happy hunting ground for him "I like young Strafact in the amateur because he is one of the few amateurs I know of who has a five game around the green He's improving very fast, too. Of course he's a little small but so is Paul Runyan, the little poison of the pros. "Sarazen's a hot bet in every show he gets in. He gets very hot in Scotland and knows every blade of grass at Old Carnoustie. He's deadly serious this year.
My tip is to look out for him. "We got beat in the Ryder cup matches four years ago by one putt -one that I missed on the last hole. We'll win this time. Our pros are playing far better than four years ago and I don't see how we can miss. Under the new set-up, I think both the national open and P.

The best young pros coming up in Shute's estimation are Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, W. and Jimmy DeMaret of Houston, Tevas. "Both are cinches to make good," commented the pro king. "Snead not only hits a ball almost as far as Jimmy Thomson but straighter. He has a great control of his shots with his prize club, a mashie niblick that never seems to miss.

Even more so now that Pickles Beatty is on the injured list and may not be in the lineup of the Beavers at On the other hand, the scrap for McDowell honors looks like a young revolution. Three teams are tops Jaeger, Welch and Gary. The three stack up as more serious threats either Northfork, Elkhorn or Big Creek. Of the three front runners, laeger has the advantage of playing on their home court.
They have a boy named Pendleton playing guard who is just about as good as any ball handlers and floor generals developed in that county in several years. On the oher hand, Welch, too, has all experienced five led by Cline Gilley, lanky youngster who can really rocket the leather through the iron. The Maroon Wave is plenty good enough to win the county title. It will be a battle royal down there, with either one of the three teams having an "on" night romping through to an easy victory, if they catch their opponents a bit off form.

New York, March 2 (AP) -Max Schmeling, heavyweight title challenger and former champion, arrived from Germany today full of confidence that Jimmy Braddock will bring his crown into the ring for their scheduled fight at Madison Square Garden bowl June 3.
After conferring with John Reed Kilpatrick, garden president, Schmeling scouted all suggestions that Braddock intended to give him the "run around." don't think so," he said in reply to a question whether he believed the champion would fail to appear. "Braddock will fight me, I'll bet, on June 3. We have a contract and its legal." In event Braddock fails to appear, however, the German said he would not claim the title as they be won and lost only in the ring." Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's American manager, said the fighter, his trainer, and their legal advisers, would confer at the garden tomorrow. Kilpatrick said there was no special significance in this move but. that "it's only the logical thing." As far as Schmeling's attitude is concerned, he apparently is totally oblivious of the fact Braddock has signed to meet Joe Louis in Chicago on June 22 and that the champion seemingly has no intention of meeting Max.
Schmeling appeared neither interested nor concerned about reports of a boycott launched against him by the non-sectarian AntiNazi league. "That makes me laugh," said Max and he really roared. "You know, they do me an honor, in fact compliment me. they thought Braddock could beat in two or three rounds there wouldn't be a boycott movement. "And, why is Braddock SO concerned about the boycott? I'll tell you.
It's money, money. He hasn't made any money since: he won the title. What about Max Baer had to fight Braddock for the title--there wasn't much money in but he went through with it.
