REPORT FRISCH IS HEADED FOR NEW YORK TEAM Rumor At Minor League Meet Says Frisch To Coach Giants New Orleans, Dec. 6 — (U.R) — Rumors outnumbered facts today as major and minor league baseball owners, scouts, managers and executives gathered for the minor league convention opening tomorrow. One report was that Frankie Frisch, the former Fordham flash who was disposed as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, might return to the New York Giants, where he became a star player. It was said that Bill Terry, Giafit manager, practically had clinched a working agreement with New Orleans in the Southern Association and that Pancho Snyder, Giant coach, would manage the Pelicans. In that case. Frisch could very easily be hired to replace Snyder. Another report was that legislation would be forthcoming which might hurt the New York Yankees and other clubs richly endowed with talent. It would come through

Friday North Side of Fort Wayne at Yellow Jackets. Kirkland at Monmouth. Pleasant Mills vs. Geneva at Commodore gym. Berne at Celina. Ohio. Jefferson vs Bryant at Geneva. Petroleum at Hartford. Saturday Silent Hoosiers at Berne changes in the waiver rule providing that a club can ask waivers on all its players and. should any be gained, the waivers can be re- ; called. There is no limit to the number of times waivers may be asked or a club may claim a player. Some clubs want a return to the | old rule which provided that if a club asked waivers on a player and i he was claimed, it could not put in a recall. In such cases, clubs rarely ventured to ask waivers on any player another club was certain to claim. Such a change would hurt the richer clubs who often in the past have asked for waivers to send a player out for more experI ience. Bob Quinn, president of the BosI ton Bees, reportedly is leading the battle against the present waiver ; rule. A third report was that the signing of Burleigh Grimes as manager of the Montreal Royals means a tie-up between Montreal and Brooklyn. Larry MacPhail. executive vice president of the Dodgers, denied this report. He did say. however, that Brooklyn would broadcast its home and road games in 1939 and 1940. becoming the first New York club to permit this.

G. Spalding Official Rule book and guide and this paper. Miller has watched practically all the state schools in action and the above selections will appear in the 1939 football handbook. Watch for the high school selections coming soon). (By Dick Miller) (Special to the Daily Democrat) Indianapolis, Dec. 6. — Butler's championship squad, winners of the Indiana college conference title for the fifth consecutive year, and Ball State, that lost only to Butler by a single touchdown and victor over six other league rivals gain most of the positions on the 1938 Indiana All-State college selections. Conference competition was exceedingly keen this fall with Bittle rthe only team able to defeat Ball State who in turn was the | only team able to defeat Manchest- 1 er's Spartans that were winners of : seven other league conflicts. Ball State's poorest performance was a tie game with little St. Joseph's college, but it probably was the best St. Joe team in years, a team that was nosed out twice by one point margins by Manchester and Valparaiso. It was a great season for single point wins, more than a dozen games being decided by the margin of a point after | touchdown. Hanover had its best team in I years. Evansville, after three of the leanest years possible, during which time the "Aces'' couldn't put over a win. finally came through with a bang and enjoyed a very : fine campaign. Rose Poly was in ■ the race for a share of the conference title right up to the end. De- I Pauw had a 50-50 ball club, but the : Tigers came through at the wind- I up and nosed out traditional rival Wabash, but it was a Wabash far below usual Caveman caliber. Franklin never got started and Valparaiso and Earlham had the; same trouble. Indiana State and j Central Normal were away below par. With so many evenly matched ! teams It was difficult to single out j the individual talent. Jimmy Phend. Ball State halfback, gained high scoring honors in the league, nosing out James Scott of DePauw by a single touchdown. Scott was a speed runner and an individual touchdown threat whereas Phend was a more versatile performer being able to kick and pass and undoubtedly will be heard from later if he continues to bear down. Tom Harding. Butler's negro flash, undoubtedly was one of the finest ball toters that covered a Hoosier gridiron the past fall, and that includes players on Notre Dame, Purdue and Indiana. Frank Welton, another Butler boy was the champion hard luck player of the season. Had it not been for an early season shoulder injury and then a broken leg in mid-season Frank might have been as outstanding as Harding. He was a standout in the few games he did get to play. Davidson of Ball State at guard; W. Conner of Butler at center; Eikenberry of Manchester at Ind.; Pasavento of Ball State at fullback and Smith of Hanover at tackle were real standouts. Broderick of Butler was a steady play- i er and great team leader. Dend- i inger of Hanover was another; great back but bogged down ' against Bail State and Evansville when he might have clinched a first team berth. There is little | to choose between the others on I the list. All were fine ball play- ; ers and helped make it the finest j Indiana college conference season I in history.

Dec. 6 — (U.R) — I don't know Prof. Frank G. Dickinson of the University of Illinois, but I certainly would like to. He must be my type ot man. else how in the world could he have arrived at the national football ratings he unblushingly released under his name at Champaign yesterday? With tne season completed, and with the record of every team available, Professor Dickinson (not without a mild rebuke from Mrs. Dickinson, I trust), rose amidst his charts and formulae and said that the eleven top teams and their point ratings were: Notre Dame. 27.72; Duke, 27.10; Tennessee, 26.68; U. S. C., 23.71; Oklahoma, 23.69; Michigan, 23.02; Minnesota, 22.71; Texas Christian 22.67; Alabama, 22.63; Carnegie Tech, 22.62; Pittsburgh, 22.54. I thought I was the country’s worst picker in the sports field, and that the system I used was the last word in arriving at a wrong conclusion. But now along comes Professor Dickinson froni behind the bushels where he has been hir.ing his light, and makes a piker out of me and my feebly little wrong picking efforts. As tine as my system is, it makes no provision for me to pick things wrong after they have happened. It simplv assures me that I can guess wrong before an event. But the professor’s system has no such imperfection. With all the football returns in he can sit right down and pick Minnesota and Michigan over T. C. U. The fact that Southern California kicked the daylights out of Notre Dame here Saturday didn’t clog a gear in the professor’s system, and he found it simple to name Notre Dame as the national champion. I wish the professor had seen that game, because if he had it would have opened his eyes to the fact that in his charts and diagrams he has a little gem and a beauty of a system. Mind you. this is not to be taken as a criticism of Professor Dickinsons method. Rather; it is the outpouring of a jealous soul. How I envy him, and his luck in hitting on a method by which he can not only arrive at 14 carat tomfoolery, but can break it down to where the impressive decimal points begin. I think Professor Dickinson is being unkind when he confines his ratings to football. His meth-

, od would be a whiz in boxing, and complete'y change the pugilistic picture. For example, suppose the professor applied the same method he used in choosing Notre Dame, to a prizefight in which a fighter won the first eight rounds, only to be knocked out in the ninth. He undoubtedly would name the man who was knocked out as the winner. In horse racing. it is conceivable that the professor would give the derby or the preakness to the horse that led the greater part of the disaance. There Is only one thing that bothers me in the professor's list, and that is how in the world he missed giving rankings to such schools as California Tech, lowa, Kentucky, Chicago. Texas, Furman. DePaul, and Sewanee. California Tech lost seven games, but also won one. Doesn't that count for anything? In case you’re in California this winter. Professor Dickinson, please look me up and we’ll combine our systems of picking and go out t> Santa Anita and make a killing.
