Ehatens To Talte Basketball From Garden '

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-(AP) - Ned Irish has threatened to pull professional basketball out of Madison Square Garden if what he termed "atrocious tactics" are permitted to continue.

The executive vice-president of the big arena. addressing the weekly meeting of the New York basketball waiters, singled out the Syracuse, N.Y., teaim for partl- cular censure and said:

"The kind of basketball they showed in last Saturday after- ,,,,on'5 game cannot be sold to the public. If this situation is not corrected, there definitely will be no pro basketball in Madison square Garden in future years."

Syracuse won from the Garden- supported New York Knicker- ibockers in a rough-and-tumble National Association game Satur- dgy, 87-75, in overtime.

The game, which developed into a free-for-all, produced a large number of personal fouls. Two players, Syracuse's Bill Gaibor and the Knicks' Harry Gallatin. were ejected from the game for fighting.

Canadian Marksman To compete In Olympic Games

Sonic Canadian farm boy who has an unenmg aim with a 22 may have the chance to become a world -hampio rifle shot at the next Olympic games in 1952 in Helsinki, Finland. This is the hope of K. N. Morris, executive director of the Canadian Civilian Association of Marlramen, who amlounces that the Canadian Olympic Association has allotted three places for matrksmen on its team for next year's Olympiad. It will be the first time in 20 year; for shooters to be included on it anadiain Olympic team.

M.r. Morris expects stiff comp- etition aoross Canada for the three places allotted on the team. He estimates there are some 28.500 recreational shooters in the country today-alrnost double the number three years ago. Of these some 20,000 use the .22 rifle; 2,000 pistols and revolvers and 6,500 trap and skeet (shot guns). There are 585 clubs devoted to .22 shooting; 81 to pistol and revolver and 33 to trap and skeet.

stressing the value of supervised target shooting, he said that to his knowledge not one member of the Canadian Civilian Association of Marksmen was involved in a hunt- ing accident during the past sea- son, thus keeping the organization's unmarred safety slate clean for another year.

NEW YORK. Jan. 9 - (AP) .. Gafher around the hot stove. friends. and we'll tell you about the wackiest events in sports in 1950.

There were plenty of them, but outstanding in the minds of sports writer: and sports broadcaster: who took part in the Associated Press year-end poll were the big blizzard. the great fox hunt in Yankee Stadium, and the longest mile run in history.

They didn't chuckle 'at Ohio State. however, over the great blizzard. Thirteen inches of show had piled up on Ohio Stadium be- fore the climactic game with Michigan. A snowstorm raged, a ll-mile an hour wind lashed the field. and the grlddcrs perform- ed in biting, 10-degree cold.

And oddly enough, 50,503 fans- tics tried to watch the ghost-like figures manoeuvre.

Not a. single first down was made by Michigan, which won 9-3, to capture the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl.

The most elusive runner since the days of Red Grange showed up in Yankee Stadium. It was Rey- nard the Fox, a gaunt critter about three feet long and weighing about 15 pounds.

Reyinard first was spotted by watchmen the night -before the At-my-Michigan football game.

They finally got Reynard one dark night in December. There was no haying of hounds, no scarlet-clad hunters. Reynard. blasted by a shotgun under the stands, has been suited and mount- ed in the Stadium press rootn.

The world's record for the mile run is 4.01.4. The slowest? The 8i-1 days, 12 hours and Z! minutes it took for Don Gehrmann of Wis- consin to win the Wanamaker mile.

Gehrmann was declared the winner Jan. 28 when he finished the mile in Madison Square Gar- den in 4.09.3, a breath ahead of Fred Wilt. Four judges were even- ly divided on the outcome and chief judge Asa Bushnell de- clared for Gehrmann. After that followed a series of squ-aibbles with Wilt declared the winner and then Gethrmann. The dispute raged for months.

Finally Dec. 9, the U.S. Amateur

for all that Gehrmann was the victor.

Watches for Argos Stirs Storm In Civic Circles In Toronto

TORONTO. Jan. 9-(CP)- proposal to give the Toronto Argo- nauts football team 3100 wrist watches in recognition of their Grey Cup victory last fall has stir- red a tempest in the civic teapot.

civic fathers and someisport.s- men are divided on whether the glory brought to the city by the Argo triumph warrants confront- ing the 1951 taxpayer with a bill which controllers and aldermen say may go as high as 33,500. Aha issue may be settled next Wednesday when city Clerk George Weole gives City Council a list of watch prices.

Controller David Balfour is on record as favoring the watches.

"Nothing is too good for these fellows,” he asserted. "We get the advertising from the Argos. We should say thanks and not in a cheap way." Controller Leslie Saunders argued that the Argos are professionals. He said he wouldn't give them even :5 watches. . But Mayor Hiram Mccallum re- called that the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League also are a professional outfit. The Leafs received wrist watches from the city two years ago when they brought home the Stanley Oup. The Mayor said the Argo watches, although Worth 3100 each, would not-actually cost the City that much. other council members plug- ged for less expensive gifts-metb ala at 85 or 810 each, perhaps, or till pen sets. Bob Moran. Argo president. said the argument was "small potatoes." The Grey Cup success had brought I t 'tremendous advertising. goodwill and out-of-town money." sportsmen were far from unan- lmous in their views. Lionel Dona- ohor. picked recently as Canada's most outstanding football star in the last so years. saw it this way: "I frankly think that. with taxes so high. there are many other things that could be done with the money. Let someone else step in, like the Board of Trade. which spends money on advertising. We shouldnlt make the taxpayer pay. That's loading the horse too much."
