Three Reserves May Get In
The men having the best chance to
get into the contest if conditions will
permit are Bill Herrmann, George
Ruehle, and Bob Fitzgerald. Tom
Harmon, Who led the Wolverine scor-
ing parade last year, will not be in
uniform. All together 15 men will
dress for the contest.
While Oosterbaan is starting his
second year as head coach for the
Wolverines, Van Alstyne will be well
into his 16th season of handling the
Spartan's hardwood activities. His
squad opened their season Monday

mazoo in which Aubuchon, the midget
of the State squad, being the only
man starting who is under six feet,
leading the attack with 11 points.

Three Saints In One Act . .,
This advertisement didn't appear on the drama pages but we notice that
there is a new show running in New York. The name is "Who Killed Cock
Robin" or "Who, Me?"l
It is a peculiar play and the hero is dumb. This can be taken two
ways, but in this case, the hero doesn't speak.
Harry Thomas vs. State of New York Boxing Commission, 237 NY 145
now commands the spotlight on the boxing state.
In case you've forgotten some of the particulars (as the Boxing Com-
mission undoubtedly wishes it had) we'll review them briefly. Harry Thomas
was, for want of a better term, a fighter who once engaged in a form of
fisticuffs with, among other persons, Tony Galento and Max Schmeling.
This, in itself, is perfectly harmless unless one inhibits a certain governor's
mansion but one day this Mr. Thomas decides to do what the lower classes
would aptly and picturesquely term "spill his guts."
This Thomas fellow walks up to Arch Ward, sports editor of The
Chicago Tribune, The World's Greatest Newspaper, and the conversa-
tion went something like this.
Thomas (looking furtively over his shoulder as a blond walks by): Listen,
scribe, I got somet'ing fer ya dat will rock da woild remember dose fights
what I had with dat bum galento and dat bum schmeling well dey weren't
fights 'cause I didn't fight. (Deep breath). Some joke eh, scribe. I could aI
knocked dere heads off dere shoulders but I took a flop, dive, tankerooo. Get
it. But me conscience boddered me and I wants to make it up to dose folkst
who were gypped on account I can't sleep nights."
Ward: "Thanks, just sign these affidavits with an X."
The next scene takes place in the New York Boxing Commission's
office in that thriving metropolis which some sophisticated midwesterner
once placed across the Hudson from New York. Boys in white coats are
running up and down the aisles selling peanuts, pop corn and chewing
gum. Tickets are being scalped as the great expose is exposed. Among those
present are John Pehlan, New York Commissioner, Harry Thomas, Sol I
Strauss, cousin and lawyer of Mike Jacobs who put on the disputed fights
and other disinterested characters.
There is one little hitch in the plan. It seems tha't a New York statute
forbids the tanking of fights unless it is previously announced. Mr. Thomas
failed to make such an announcement and as a result has run afoul of the
law. This in turn means that he is subject to a short sojourn in another
sort of tank-with bars on the window and time on his hands.
The presence of this law had made Mr. Thomas' conscience a little
less bothersome. December has an "r" in it and as a result Thomas is
as silent as an oyster-or is it a clam? They fire questions at him and
Thomas looks at the walls, at the desks, at the sky, he looks up and
says "Who, me?"

Dewey Handles
Thomas' Claims
Boxer Demands Immunity
In Order ToTestify
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-(/)-The in-
vestigation concerning the publishedI
statement of Harry Thomas that he
had participated in a "fixed" fight
with Max Schmeling here Dec. 13,
1937, was placed in the hands of
District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey's
office today.
The New York State Athletic Com-
mission, thwarted in its attempts to
gain information from Thomas unless
he was granted immunity, and unable
to grant this immunity, turned the
investigation over to Dewey's office
for such action as it may see fit.
Thomas, who at previous hearings
had refused to answer questions on
the grounds it might incriminate him,
did not testify at today's hearing, but
stated through his attorney, John
Bailey, Jr., that he would talk if
granted immunity from any punish-
ment that might result from his
testimony.
It is a criminal offense to "throw"
a fight in New York.
Today's hearing was given over
entirely to the testimony of Arch
Ward, sports editor of the Chicago
Tribune, which published Thomas'
statements that he had "thrown" his
fight with Schmeling, as well as one
with Tony Galento in Philadelphia
last year.
Ward said, "I was satisfied in my
own mind that Thomas' statements
were true," and revealed there was a
"mysterious" person who corroborat-
ed Thomas' story.
He testified he found this witness,
whose name he declined to reveal,
because, he said, "I would be violat-
ing a confidence." The witness con-
firmed Thomas' story in every sub-
stantial detail, Ward added. 3
