Pick 10 Wrestlers To Make Trip For New York A.C. Match Gotham Team Set To Avenge - Previous Loss Ranks Of Opponents Are Filled With Ex-College Stars; Varsity Underdog Match Is Tuesday Keen Expects Close Meet; Thomas-LeTout Bout Is Feature Of Match Ten Varsity wrestlers will leave Sunday for their initial and one of their most formidable matches of the year, Coach Cliff Keen announced yesterday. Their opponents will be the New York Athletic Club, and the meet is scheduled for Tuesday eve- ning, December 22. The New York contingent will be out for revenge and from all observa- tions, Michigan will enter the match as a definite underdog. Last: year's team pulled an upset in defeating the New York outfit, but they were aided by the poor condition of the latter who did not regard the match too seriously Ex-College Stars The New Yorkers are, composed mainly of ex-college stars, two of them, Joe LaTout and Ben Bishop, being former national champions.1 Keen stated that the Varsity would need plenty of luck to eke out a vic- tory, but that he looked for close matches in all of the divisions. The following men will make the trip: 113 pounds, John Speicher; 126 pounds, Harold Rosenn and Paul Cameron; 135 pounds, Earl Thomas; 145 pounds, Lewis Mascuruskus; 155 pounds, Harland Danner; 165 pounds, Captain Frank Bissell and Bill Lov- ell; 175 pounds, Frank Morgan; un- limited division, Forrest Jordan. Thomas-LeTout Bout Speicher, Cameron, Thomas Bissell, and Lowell are lettermen, and all of them, with the exception of Lowell who is battling Morgan for a berth, will wrestle in the meet. The fea- ture match of the evening will be the Thomas - LaTout fracas. Thomas barely missed an Olympic berth last year and should fight on even terms with the New York star. Rosenn, Morgan, Danner and Jor- dan are all sophomores, of limited ex- perience but much promise. They are faced with the task of wrestling ex- perienced veterans, and Keen is hop- ing to get a better line on their ability in their performance in New York. Hockey Called Best Business Or Profession Patrick, Ranger Manager, Claims There Is Better Pay In PuckSport NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-(A)-Lester Patrick, siver-haired president and manager of the New York Rangers, recommended hockey today as "the most promising sports business and profession in America" As a profession, he pointed out: "The average big league hockey player lasts 10 years (Patrick him- self stayed up 19). If he's a top- notcher, he'll make around $10,000 a year and he plays for only four and a half months each year. There's no minimum salary in our league, but the average is $4,500. "Anybody who gets into it now as a player has a great chance, because the demand for men who know the game is going to be great in the fu- ture." Consistent Money Maker As a business, he says: "Hockey has been the most con- sistent money maker of any sport in New York. In the last few years, the promoters of boxing, for example, have taken a beating. Here in Mad- ison Square Garden, hockey has been the -biggest money-maker. At present, a rule on the books of the National League limits the direct salary of players to $7,500, but there are ways of getting more. Patrick estimated that Ching John- son, former Ranger defense star, has saved $100,000 out of his hockey earn- ings, and Eddie Shore, of the Bos- ton Bruins, is said to have laid away around $150,000. Top Salaried Men Top-salaried men in the game to- day are Shore, Sweeney Schriner,I and Art Chapman, New York Amer- icans; Charlie Conacher, Toronto Maple Leafs; Ebbie Goodfellow, Norm Smith and Herb Lewis, Detroit Red Wings and Paul Thompson, Chicago Blackhawks.I All of which is saying nothing about Mr. Patrick, who at 53 is well fixed and enjoys life when he is away from Madison Square Garden at alh Mann Names 15 Swimmers To Leave Today For Florida Strange As It Seems, Beebe's Riding A Tr Page John Hix or Robert Ripl Leo Beebe, reserve bask guard, was probably the most ex young man in Ann Arbor yest afternoon as the Wolverine c entrained for Seattle, Wash. had never been on a train befor First Exhibition lion's Dutch Clark 'in Slated Tonight Leads Pro Scoring Aey! t NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-(M)-Earl etball At n ianapolis (Dutch) Clark, who was picked from xcited an obscure Colorado college team for erday agers Leo e and Primary Purpose Is Rest; Leading Aquatic Stars the quarterback post of the 1928 All- American eleven, was the leading scorer in the National Professional Football League this year.

With 162 Runs Driven In Indian Slugger Gains Only Title Not Won By Yanks; Foxx Is Second CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-'P)-The big bat swung by Hal Trosky, Cleveland's young first baseman, brought him his first American League leadership at batting in runs last season and kept New York's Yankees from making a sweep of honors in that important division. Trosky's war club drove in 162 runs. 49 more than he had whenhetfinished fourth in 1935 and 10 more than the 1936 total compiled by Lou Gehrig, leader of the walloping Yankees' as- sault on records. Jimmy Foxx, of Boston, was third with 143, and Zeke Bonura, of Chicago, had 138 for fourth place, leaving first basemen in possession of the four top positions for the second straight season. Greenberg Led In 1935 Hank Greenberg, of Detroit, led in 1935 with 170 runs batted in but was able to play in only 12 games' last year due to a fractured wrist. Gehrig was runnerup to Greenberg that sea- son with 119, Foxx was third with 115, while Trosky had 113. Trosky's triumph also made it the seventh consecutive season in which a first baseman led the league. Gehrig won in 1930 and 1931, Foxx was tops in 1932 and 1933 and Gehrig bounced back in 1934. Eighteen players batted in 100 or more runs, bettering the former ma- jor league record of 17, set by the Na- tional League in 1930. Following the four leaders were: Julius Solters, St Louis, 134; Luke Appling, Chicago 128; Earl Averill, Cleveland, 126; Goose Goslin, Detroit, and Joe D Maggio, New York, 125; Beau Bell St. Louis, 123; Bob Johnson, Phila- delphia, 121; Joe Kuhel, Washing- ton, 118; Charley Gehringer, Detroit 116; Al Simmons, Detroit, 112; Tony Lazzeri, New York, 109; Bill Dickey and George Selkirk, New York, 107 and Marvin Owen, Detroit, 105. The Yankees set three new team records for runs batted in. - By slug- ging in 995 runs they bettered their own former record of 991, in 1931 Their 25 in one game against Phila- delphia May 24 replaced the mark o1 23 established by the A's in 1929. The presence of five players, Gehrig, D Maggio, Lazzeri, Dickey and Selkirk in the 100-or-more list, also was a record. Makes I And II Straight Gehrig completed his 11th straight year in the 100-or-more class, tying Simmons' major league standard Simmons, whose string was snapped last year, came back for his 12th year, one shy of Babe Ruth's all-time record. Gehrig also passed the 150- mark for the sixth year, equaling an- other of Ruth's marks.
