SPORTS
ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON. JR.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15—(/P)—The
opitmism that Frank Leahy was
displaying over Notre Dame’s foot
ball prospects last week-end must
have dropped a few points when
he heard that Frank Yokas, the
flashy guard from Rock Island,
111., high school, and St. Mary’s
pre-flight, had signed with the
pros. . . . Yokas is the kid, who
when asked by Leahy if he
thought he’d make good in college
football, solemnly replied: “Coach
I’ll eat them college kids alive.”
. . . Leahy still won’t have much
cause for moaning. If all goes well
he can start Johnny Lujack, Phil
Colella and Bob Kelly in his back
field and then take his choice of
Jim Mello, Gerry Cowhig, Cornie
Clatt, John Pinelli and Floyd Sim
mons at fullback . . . Speaking of
football, southern scribes are per
forming eyebrow exercises over
Carl Snavely’s comment when
Charley Justice, the most sought
after kid in the South, registered
at North Carolina: “I certainly
hope he will come out for the
football squad.”
When sports scribe Wirt Gam
mon of the Chattanooga Times
was trying to complete his collec
tion of Confederate currency, he
wrote to Maurice Bloch, the Sel
ma, Ala., baseball man, for help.
. . . Bloch replied: “I presume you
want to get up enough for Joe En
gel to use in paying off the Cuban
ballplayers in the hope they would
not know the difference.” . . . That
seems fair enough, considering
some of the guys who have been
masquerading as ball players the
ALASKANS GIVE
HIGH SCHOOL TRIMMING
! Last Wednesday evening the
two baseball teams which played
the exhibition game were cheered
and jeered by a fair gathering of
rooters for both sides.
The Alsakans, composed chiefly
of veteran ball players, took the
initiative in the early part of the
game and left the High School
with the short end of the score,
completely subdued.
Ned—He was born with a sil
ver spoon in his mouth.
Ted—Well, he never made much
of a stir with it.
past few years.
The Braves’ Johnny Hopp is a
nephew of Jake Gettman, who
once made ten hits in national
league baseball . . . When Tommy
burns, the Australian welter
weight, was training for his recent
scrap with Vic Patrick, he engaged
wrestler Tom Nilan, weighing 15
stone 10 pounds, as a bodyguard.
. . . The dictionary says a “stone”
varies in weight from 5 to 32
pounds, but for cheese its 16
pounds . . . Presumably that fig
ure applies to wrestlers, too.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15—(/P)—
Japan and Germany will not be
invited to compete in the 1948
Olympic games set for London,
the American Olympic committee
said. There is still a doubt about
the status of Italy, but we want
one of the greatest international
representations in the history of
i the games, said Garland yester
day, predicting a world-wide
boom in amateur athletics.
“Russia will compete for the
first time, he declared, “and the
South American countries are
■ planning to send large teams.”

North Dakota
Towns Isolated
By Blizzard
FARGO, N. D., Feb. 15——
Isolated for 11 days after last
week's blizzard blocked a Great
Northern railway branch line,
their sole source of supply, the
1.500 residents of five northern
North Dakota communities today
were relying upon airplanes and
bobsleds to bring them medical
aid and other necessities.
The villages are Sarles, Calvin,
Munich, Clyde and Weaver, with
radio providing the only means
of communication with the outside
world from the latter three since
telephone lines were downed by
the storm.
The railroad attempted soon af
ter the storm to clear the line, but
a snowplow and its locomotive
were derailed near Weaver and
the tracks Have not been cleared.
Earl Higgins, owner of an air
plane at Sarles, said he had flown
an appendicitis victim from that
village to Rolla, 30 miles away,
and that two other critically ill
persons from the marooned dis
trict had been taken there by bob
sled.
Community spokesmen said
that while food and fuel supplies
were light, they would last if the
rail line was reopened within a
week.
There is a bridge for every
mile of railroad track in the
United States.
