Washington's Purple Pack, champions of the Pacific conference. announced the selection of the Huskies' foe, passing up two unbeaten southern teams. Alabama and Louisiana State, to get at the Panthers. It will be Pittsburgh's fourth appearance in the Pasadena stadium. "We were guided by only one factor,” graduate manager Ray Eckmann said. “We believe we have chosen the strongest team in the country, outside the west, as Washington's opponent.” "The first team to be selected accepted the invitation.” he added. Eckmann and Roy Rosenthal, publicity director of the universtiy. announced the selection to 30 newspapermen gathered at the

MAJOR LEAGUE i PLAYER TRADES 1 STILL PENDING ’ Additional Trades Are Expected To Be Made If Next Week Montreal, Que., Dec. 4 — (U.R) — Activities in the player market virtually were at a standstill today I with the major leagues leaving for their own meeting In New York. Several big deals still were on tap. but indications were that no further action was likely as the minor league meeting ended i4>a . JTih annual convention today. Results may be expected at the major league meeting at New York Tuesday. Wednesday, and Thursday on the following deals: Sale of Dizzy Dean, somewhat cooled off by Branch Rickey's fancy quotations but still on the market; the New York Giunts-t'hicago Cubs trade, involving outfielder Hank Leiber, sought by the Cubs, and third baseman Stanley Hack, cov eted by the Giants; Brooklyn-Pitts-burgh deal, with negotiation* now at the point where even Van Mungo. Dodgers' star pitcher, may be involved. Guessing what Commissioner K. 1 M. Landis may do about the Bob Feller case continues to be the favorite pastime here. The baseball men can agree on only one point, that Landis is confronted by the most important decision of his career. Feller, Clevelands 19-year-old pitching sensation, as a free agent, will bring a sum approaching SIOO.-; 000 for his signature on a contract. Landis has delved deeply into the Feller case.

" — jdians. \ The minors adopted unanimously yesterday the so-called Ogden amendment to the national agreement. It is expected to be passed by the majors next week. It pro- . ides that a major league club can ecommend a player to a club of lower classification and still acquire that player. As the rule now stands a club that recom- | mends a player forfeits its right to acquire him later. After much bickering the International league and American As- ’ sociation have finally made peace ■ ■ and will play the little world series again next year. In order to bring this about the American Association had to jack ;up its salary limit of $7,000 per I club per month to one approach--1 ing the International’s $8,500. Freddy Lindstrom, former Giant,; Pirate, Cub, and Dodger star, has , the inside track to manage the Louisville American Associtaion club. Brooklyn has a working agreement with Louisville, and is anxious to install Lindstrom, who is still owned by the Dodgers, as the Colonel’s pilot, replacing Burleigh Grimes, manager of the Dodgers next year. The three players, outfielder Stanley Bordagaraf. infielder Jimmy Jordan, and pitcher Emil Leonard. bought by the Cardinals yesterday from Brooklyn probably will be distributed among the St. Louis Class AA clitbs. it was indicate today. Instead of a straight cash transaction as reported, it was learned that the three players went to the i Cards in payment for outfielder Jack Winsett, acquired last season ' by Brooklyn from Columbus, a St. : Louis farm. , -—— o IMSWMWL i < By Pete) Indiana's state Catholic high school champions.

still in the harness, the Gaels will likely be plenty tough for the Commodores, who will present an entirely new lineup from the tournament five of last spring. season. Anderson defeated ■ the Commodores In two out of three meetings. Each team won ■ on its home floor, while Anderson edged out a two-point victory in a sensational semifinal tilt at the state tourney at Fort Wayne. This battle was the decisive game of the tourney. —oOo— As a preliminary game tonight, the local CYO team will play a team from Van Wert, Ohio. The preliminary will start at 7 o’clock, with the feature contest at 8:15. —oOo — Decatur's Yellow Jackets, with four straight victories to their credit, will be after their fifth in a string tonight when they tangle with the LaPorte Slicers at LaPorte, The Jackets have scored victories over Portland. New Haven, Hoagland and Winamac. LaPorte tallied two victories last week, nosing out South Side of Fort Wayne, and swamping North Judson. —oOo— Goodness! “Right at the present time an Airdale victory over Bluffton Friday night does not look like the I probable outcome of the game at that city on aforesaid date. The Airdales forgot temporarily that a g'inis coneista of four quarters of equal length and not just three quarters. For three-fourths of the game with Alexander last Wednesday night the Airdales played bang-up ball . In the final quarter when Alexandria, trailing by seven points and anxious for a victory, turned on the heat, the Airdales promptly melted. A team must be able to “take dt” as well as dish it out. We believe that the Airdales can. but sirnnly failed to do so last WednesdayOight. “Coach J. B. Good and the Airdales enjoyed (?) a skull session Monday night and as a result of this a different attitude may be expected in the Airdale players. If I any of the Airdales had notions of j shopping for a hat several sizes ' larger than their accustomed size, i the recent skull practice content- ! ed them with the hat they have ■ been accustomed to wearing for ■ the past several years.”—John Farrell, Hartford City News.

INDIANAPLAYS OPENER TONIGHT Indiana Opens Basketball' Season With Cincinnati Tonight Bloomington. Ind., Dec. 4. (Special.) Indiana university I launches on one of the stiffest 20-1 game basketball schedules in its hardwood history tonight against an opponent calculated to put the early Hoosier squad to a strong test. University of Cincinnati's i usually tough eagers ure to invade | Indiana’s huge fieldhouse in Biooin-. ington to share in the opening ceremonies. The game is slated to l start at 7:30. Vernon Huffman and Kenneth Gunning are working out with the Hoosier squad this week, and apparently will be available for service Friday night if Coach Everett Dean decides to use them. It was thought at first that the two veteran stars would need more time to work into good basketball condition after being released just one week from a strenuous season of football activity. Huffman and Gunning, co-cap-tains of the 1936-37 team, are among seven returning lettermen from the first ten men who last : season gave I. U. the western con-j ference co-cbampionship with Pur- 1 due. Huffman, who was named an all-American guard last season, 1 hails from Newcastle, Ind.; Gunning. who finished only behind Kessler oi Purdue and Haarlow of Chicago for Big Ten high- scoring nonors in '35-36. is a former Shelajrville high school luminary. In fact, the Hoosier team is truly Hoosier, literally as we’l as figuratively. There is only one out-of-state athlete among the first 20 men on Coach Bern's present squad. o Conservation Club To Sponsor Shoot The country conservtafon club will sponsor a trap and rifle shoot at the Ed Aumann woods, one mile southeast of the St. John’s church, three miles south of Hoagland on December 6 at 19 a. m.
