Lou Little Os Columbia Is Coach Os Week New York, Oct. 29 —(UP) —His boys had just been beaten soundly by a traditional football opponent and he didn't like it a bit. He told them so in the dressing room. “From now on,’’ he said, “the honeymoon is over.” There were other remarks, not many, but in that same tone of voice, and the team was made to believe it might have won had it played a little harder al) the way. And so in that one dressing room were sown the seeds for the greatest football upset of the year, just one week later. The man who made his team believe in itself is the United Press coach of the week, energetic Lou Little of the Columbia Lions, victors over the high and mighty Army Cadets. Outside of Little and his team there probably weren't enough people who thought Columbia could win that game to overtax the facilities of a telephone booth. "And I don't say that we would beat them again tomorrow.” Little said. “But on that day we had just enough to swing it our way. We won and we won it going away.” It was a game to remember, not merely because Columbia by the one-point margin of 21 to 20 ended Army's four-year span of 32 games without defeat. It was a game to remember because on this Saturday the Lions were fighting mad and they knew', even though they were trailing 20 to 7 as the fourth period began that they had to win. They didn’t want another dressing room, dressing down like they got at Philadelphia after Little accused them of laying down in their 32 to 14 loss to Pennsylvania. So they scored two touchdowns on magnificent passing by Gene Rossides and diving, snatching catches at grass-top level by Bill Swiacki plus one final climactic crash over the goal line by lunging Lou Kisserow. Two extra point kicks by Venton Yablonski and it was all over for Army. It wasn’t the first time Little had keyed up a team to dizzy heights to win a game no one gave it a chance to win. There was that Rose Bowl team of 1934 when Stanford was mighty and in turn was accused of looking for a soft touch by inviting Lou’s Little Lions , out to Pasadena. That year, using "one perfect play,” the Lions roared to a 7 to 0 victory that has been ranked high on the all-time list of classic gridiron upsets.

j ' Mexican League Drops Raids On |U. S. Talent Mexico City, Oct. 29 —(UP)— The parade to the Peso pantry was over officially and moneybags Jorge Pasquel was relegated to a back seat today as the sorrowful Mexican league embarked on an austerity campaign with the promise of no more raids on U. S. talent. Actually, the Mexican league has been a big-time nonentity since its brief but booming splash in 1946 when Senor Pasquel lured the likes of Mickey Owen, Max Lanier and Danny Gardella south of the border with sky-high salaries. But last night the end of the noise became official when Alexander Aquilar Reyes, publisher of a Mexico City sports daily, was named high commissioner of the league and Pasquel reduced to a business office capacity, even though he retains the title of president of the loop. ' Aquilar immediately ruled: 1. No more raids on U. S. talent. 2. No more than 20 men on a squad, 12 of whom must be native Mexicans. 3. A maximum payroll of 50,000 pesos (about $10,000) per club per month. These new regulations mean, among other things, that at least 20 players must quit Mexican baseball whether they like it or not, since there were 68 foreign-born playing this past season and the new regulation permits only 40 in the circuit. Too, there will be salary cuts for men like Luis Olmo, the former Brooklyn outfielder who collected $13,000 last year. The new salaries will average about $3,000 a year. The end of the peso picnic fathered by Pasquel was demanded by club owners after they lost two and a half million pesos during the past two seasons. Most threatened to quit the league unless Pasquel’s free-spending ended. Most top U. S. stars fled the league after one season, saying they wanted no part of the setup which paid well but offered playing conditions far inferior to U. S. baseball. Lanier expressed the one wish that he could return to the Cardinals and never again leave. Owen played semi-pro ball last season, and Gardella is suing the New’ York Giants for depriving him of a livelihood. They had no hope, however, from baseball commissioner A. B. Chandler, who ordered all players w’ho “jumped” U. S. contracts to play in Mexico suspended from organized baseball for five years. Chandler’s office said last night that no change was contemplated in the! ruling despite the new no-raid policy announced by the Mexican league. —. — -o rrndp In n Good Town — Decntur

I Expel Midshipman In Ticket Scandal Annapolis, Md., Oct. 29 —(I I )“ One midshipman was expelled and several others came under sharp scrutiny as the naval academy moved today to smash a ring which has been scalping navy football tickets. First classman Fredrick W. Lauer. Jr., of Wilmette, 111., who would have graduated this spring, was expelled last night after authorities found him guilty of supplying 400 Navy-Penn tickets to a civilian identified as Harry Rubin of Philadelphia. Pa. Rubin was caught by academy guards as he attempted to leave the grounds Oct. 15 with a satchel containing the 400 tickets. Rubin, taken before authorities, immediately implicated Lauer. In his signed statement, Rubin said thaj "a Ronald Bloomburg of Philadelphia asked me to come down here to pick up a bundle from midshipman Lauer.” Rubin was released after he signed the statement. Academy officials said they were convinced he served only as a messenger, but they did not reveal whether they planned any action against Bloomburg. Lauer, acording to the announcement, obtained the tickets by taking up the unused applications oi lower classmen. Each midshipman is entitled to four tickets to each navy game. The lower classmen, it was stated, acted “in good faith. The academy announcement concerning Lauer’s expulsion stipulated that the 22-year-old midshipman “stood to profit from his association with civilian scalpers.” It added that the scalping of navy football tickets has been under study for some time, and that the investigation is being continued. Lauer is the only midshipman implicated so far, but ethers might be involved, a spokesman said.
