PLAYING AFIELD

-With Billy Evans-

HAD the usual Interesting chat with “Pop” Warner, famous coach of Stanford, during his recent visit to the East. The reason for the visit was a desire to scout Pittsburgh, the team that is to play Stanford in the annual Tournament of Roses game at Pasadena, Cal. After looking Pittsburgh over, and. “Pop” admits he saw plenty,

since Pitt overwhelmed the strong Penn State team, 30-0, he journeyed on to Chicago to take in the Notre Dame - Southern California game. “Pitt was one of the greatest teams I ever saw, and don’t forget I have seen a lot of mighty good ones

in the last thirty years,” said Warner. “In the game I saw, Pitt against Penn State, its play was well nigh perfect. In Welch I saw a marvelous half back, perfectly in keeping with the caliber of the team.” tt tt Yet I have no doubt but Pop cherishes the hope his team will be able to defeat Pittsburgh. tt * CALIBER MUCH THE SAME 4 4'T'HERE is little or no differX ence between the standard of football as now played in the various sections of the United States,’ was his reply to my query as to where he believes the best football is played. “Thirty years ago the East held a pronounced edge, then the West cut in strongly, followed by the Pacific Coast, and now we have the South bidding strongly for national honors. “Unquestionably the South has made the most progress during the last ten years, perhaps five would be better. In that time the standard of football in that scetion has been raised to such an extent that the South no longer needs to offer apologies to any section of thp country. “Peruse the scores of the intersectional games and you will be able to realize how evenly the teams have been matched in a majority of the intersectional games, with no sector having any great advantage.” tt tt No one man, unless it was Andy Smith, has done more to give the Pacific Coast the prestige it enjoys in the football world than Warner. u tt tt TWO TOUGH BREAKS 4 section, and mighty few of -lN the so-called major teams, are outstanding in football as was the case years ago,” continued Warner. “The open game has revolutionized the entire scheme of football and made the element of chance so great that any minor tear 1 has a chance to knock off a big eleven. “While it gives me a headache to recall it, if you look over the record of my team this year you will find that we were unbeaten in the Pacific Coast Conference, supposedly the class of that section, yet lost to St. Mary’s and Santa Clara, regarded as the minors. “The South justly points with pride to Georgia’s victory over Yale, Notre Dame gets much joy out of its defeat of Southern California, while the East can rejoice in the Army’s surprising victory over the Irish. “A survival of the fittest with the ■situation pretty much 50-50 in all intersectional clashes, is the collegiate condition in football at present.” tt tt tt Warner, considered the premier inventor of .trick football plays, says he is having great success this year, using some moss-cov-ered plays of fifteen years’ vintage, labeling them as new and getting away with it.

Tech Upsets Georgia In Saturday Grid Feature; Vandy, Trojans Win Southern Conflicts Fought on Rain-Soaked Fields; AllAmerica Moriey Shines in Coast Fray.

Wind-up games of the football season Saturday adhered to the policy of dope-upsetting which has featured grid play all fall. Down In Dixieland, where the most important fray of the weekend was fought, Georgia Tech’s Golden Tornado turned the dopesters upside down by knocking off the hitherto undefeated, untied Bulldogs of the University of Georgia, 12 to 0. It was a bitterly fought battle waged in the mud and mire of a gridiron soaked with incessant rains. The victory gave the Tech crew the top berth in the Southern Conference race. The first touchdown came on a pass, Mizell to Durant. The pass was good for eighteen yards and Durant splashed down the field for twenty-five more. The second marker came when Thomason intercepted a Georgia pass and ran 63 yards to the Bulldogs’ twenty-two-yard line, from where three

Indians to Open 1928 A . A. Pennant Campaign on Home Lot

Western Association Clubs to Play Openers in East; Perry Supports Hickey Suggestion for Independence; Other News, Gossip. By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor DALLAS, Tex., Dec. s.—American Association club owners, supplying part of the early action at the big baseball round-up in Dallas Sunday night, voted to open the 1928 season with the Western clubs in the East, the same as last* spring. Starting day will be April 10 or 11 and the campaign of 168 games will close late in September, probably the 30th.

One of three teams, Minneapolis, Kansas City or Milwaukee, will oppose the Indians in the curtain contest at Indianapolis because St. PaiA went into action at Washington Park last spring. It was the Eastern clubs turn to agree to go West for the next openers, but after much discussion over early April weather conditions in Milwaukee, Minneapolis and St. Paul the magnates decided there would be less risk in the Eastern half of the circuit. Kansas City felt safe on the weather, but the northern cities did not. Stormy Session There was a stormy session anent the resolution introduced by William P. Neal, business manager of the Louisville team, who represented William Knebelkamp, Colonel president, at the A. A. powwow. The resolution, suggested by President Thomas J. Hickey cf the league, aimed to bar the sale of any more A. A. franchises to big league clubs, and it drew much oratory, especially from the owners who supported it. The resolution was lost however, when a tie vote resulted, four and four. Five votes were necessary to pass it, Indianapolis, Louisville, Milwaukee, and Kansas City lining up in support of the movement. Columbus, Toledo, St. Paul, and Minneapolis opposed thß resolution and therefore President Hickey’s efforts to raise A. A. prestige and assure more independence fell through. He feels, however, that the league gained by giving publicity to the fact that four clubs stand opposed to the “farm” menace. Makes Splendid Talk James A. Perry, new Tribe owner, attended his first league session and he “went to bat” in great style by making a splendid talk against further major league inroads into the American Association. His burst of oratory in his maiden bow before his more experienced brother club owners was marked down as an excellent start for a young magnate. Perry 1 also convinced his listeners he is sincere in his aim to erect a modern baseball plant in Indianapolis along with building up a winning team. Henry Killilea, Milwaukee president, new as a magnate, but old in baseball lore from the legal end, was another who uncorked a worthy speech. Scribes Are Barred Newspaper men were barred from the A. A. gathering, but they managed to keep ujS with the progress of it. Aside from the question of big league ownership and schedule making, the club owners were kept busy drafting anew league constitution. Afternoon and night sessions were held Sunday, and morning and ■ afternoon sessions today. Three schedules submitted for approval Sunday were tossed out and a committee appointed to work out another. The first deal announced by the Indians was the sale of Catcher Bob Snyder to the Dallas 'club of the Texas League. Bert Ellison, with Minneapolis last year, id the new Dallas pilot. He is taking Snyder on an optional agreement. Owner Perry and Manager Betzel are trying to complete a deal for a first string receiver of ex-

plays were necessary to push the oval over, Thomason carrying the ball. Another Southern tilt played in the mud was the Vanderbilt-Ala-bama clash. The Commodores downed the Crimson Tide of Alabama, 14 to 7. The game developed fnto a straight line-plunging affair broke up ocacsionally by end runs and an attempted forward pass now and then. Over on the Pacific Coast Morley Drury led his University of Southern California Trojans to a 33-to-13 triumph over the University of Washington. The All-American Morley did about everything that could be expected of him and showed the same form which characterized his play against Notre Dame the week before. TURNERS WIN NET TILT Local Basket Five Downs Morgantown I. O. O. F. Squad Sunday. South Side Turners stopped the winning streak of the Morgantown I. O. O. F. at the Turner gym Sunday by winning, 38 to 31. The visitors were ahead at the half, 23 to 17. E. Grimsley, Hodges and Caskey starred for the Turners, while Stull and Whitaker were outstanding for the I. O. O. F. BUICKS BEAT METEORS Thomburg-Lewis Basket Crew Scores Victory Over Local Five. Thomburg-Lewis Buick basketball team defeated the strong Meteor five, 35 to 34, at Liberty Hall Sunday.

perience and class. They would like to land Leo Dixon of the St. Louis Browns who was with the Indians several yeats ago. Catchers on the Tribe staff now are Paul Florence and Riddle, the latter from the Florida State League. Manager Betzel has hopes of obtaining an outfielder from Pittsburgh and is counting on one of three, Layne, Brickell or Comoroskv. Both Layne and Brickell saw ?:rvlce at different times with the Hoosiers the past season, but they were owned by the Pirates and were recalled. The order for the 1928 Tribe uniforms was given to the Charles C. Carr Company of Indianapolis. This is in line with Owner Perry’s idea to boost home industry. Carr led Indianapolis to a pennant in 1908 and developed Rube Marquard and Ownie Bush who were sold to the majors for what were big prices then, SII,OOO for Marquard and $6,000 for Bush. Otto Williams, who ulayed with that same 1908 Tribe champion, is in Dallas mingling with the stove leaguers. Two hotels, the Adolphus and Baker, are bearing the burden of the stove league convention here. Indianapolis representatives are quartered at the Adolphus, named after Adolphus Busch of brewery industries. Hoosier party members were shut-ins for twenty-five hours in making the trip from Indianapolis to Dallas. They journeyed in a special Pullman, personally conducted by W. J. Frost of the Missouri Pacific. The party traveled via Big Four from Indianapolis to St. Louis and the remainder of the way by Missouri Pacific on the Sunshine Special, a Pacific coast train. A combination club and observation car with a glass-enclosed parlor made a hit with the baseball tourists. Joe McCarty, boss of the Chicago Cubs, joined the Indianapolis party at St. Louis. Jack Hendricks, pilot of the Cincinnati Reds, came with the Indianapolis - delegation. Other managers along were Barney (Mike) Kelly, pilot of Spartansburg, looking for prospective Spartans; Heinie Groh, Charlotte manager; Harold Irelan, manager of Quinck, the Indians’ farm club; Spud Campbell, pilot of the Bloomington (111.) team, and our own Bruno Betzel. All A. A. managers except Leibold of Columbus and Allen of St. Paul were on hand Sunday, buzzing around hotel lobbies. Jack Lelivelt of Milwaukee is quite gay. He is getting together what is known as a “terrific" ball club and is advising his brother pilots to hustle if they care to keep peace with the 1928 Brewers. Dutch Zwilling feqjs certain his Kansas City Blues will be in the money. Brewers and Blues stack up best at present, according to the majority of experts. The •Toledo Hens, 1927 pennant winners, must rebuild. They lose Outfielders Lebourveau, Koehler and Kelley, Catcher Heving, Second Baseman Maguire and Shortstop Cote. They still have Bobby Veach ana Roy Grimes, howevere, two mighty sluggers and their strong big league connections surely will help. Judge K. M. Landis, high commissioner of baseball, came in from Hot Springs Sunday morning and played some more golf. He’s the big awe of the national pastime. Jake Hollenbeck, formerly of Indianapolis, was at the station Sunday afternoon when the Hoosier party rolled in and he extended the big glad Hand. He is assistant general passenger traffic manager of the Missouri Pacific and a very prominent person in these parts. He will entertain a crowd of Hoosiers at a dinner aboard his private car tonight. The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, the organization which includes all minor circuits, will open its convention Tuesday and stay in session through Thursday. Manager Bill Meyer of the Louisville Colonels today announced" the purchase of Shortstop Joe Olivares from Little Rock of the Southern Association. He’s brilliant in the field, bus only fair with the stick, his average being .277. He had a tryout with'the Colonels before being released to Little Rock. SQUABBLE CONTINUED \ Western League Argument Still Unsettled; Eight-Hour Discussion. Bu Timet Sveclnl DALLAS, Texas, Dec. s.—The squabble in the Western League precipitated by the efforts of the Oklahoma City and Tulsa clubs to withdraw and join the Texas League, was continued, today before the national board 6f arbitration. Withdrawal of the two clubs is opposed by the remaining Western League teams. After eight hours’ discussion before the board Saturday night, the hearing was adjourned without approaching a settlement. It was rumored that the Oklahoma teams will be allowed to withdraw by paying an equity to the Western League. Sioux City, la., Pueblo, Colo., and Kansas City, Kan., have been mentioned as places whei# the two vacated franchises might be placed.

Paul Waner, Most Valuable National Leaguer, Possesses Short, Colorful Diamond Career

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. s.—Paul Waner, who has been voted the National League's most valuable player for 1927, Is. perhaps the most colorful player in the major leagues. In his second year in the major leagues, Waner won the prize with 72 out of a possible 80 votes cast by the committee of sports writers, and whose decision was announced over the week-end. Waner skyrocketed to fame overnight. He came to the Pirates from San Francisco in 1926 and in his first year played sensationally, batting .336 in 144 games. Wins Batting Crown The past season Waner won the batting crown of the National League with a batting average of .379, leading his closest rival, Hornsby of the Giants, by 20 points. Waner also led In hits with 326 and triples with 18. Go back only a few years and Waner was just a kid pitcher for a college team in Oklahoma. He jumped all the way to San Francisco of the Pacific Coast League in 1921. He was only 19 then. He developed a sore arm and it was this freak of fate that caused him to turn outfielder. In 1924 he won a regular berth in the San Francisco outfield and batted .356. The next season he batted .401 and won his trial with the Pirates. First Outfielder Waner is the first outfielder to win the National League award. There Speed Skaters Will Race Here Two of the outstanding speed skaters of the Middle West will engage in a match race of one mile at the Riverside rink Saturday night, when Frankie Davis, holder of the State mile record, will meet Bobbie Monroe, two-mile title holder. Roller enthusiasts of the city are lining up behind their favorites in a manner that indicates a big crowd will surround the floor when the speedsters start rolling. The contestants are amateurs and the winner will receive a trophy from the Chicago Skate Company. The record for the mile on the Riverside floor is 2 minutes 59% seconds, set some time ago by Ez Maroney, a professional.

Pritchett’s Recreation was jammed when the 6:30 p. m., the final squad, took the drives in the city tourney play Sunday. The Marott Shoe Shop team was the chief attraction and (Dad) Frank Fox, who rolled 691 for this club to place them first, the center of interest. Frank responded and came through with 636 in the doubles and 639 in the singles to set an allevents record of 1,966. Larry Fox was ill when the team events were being rolled, but performed in the doubles and singles Sunday and secured sets of 602 and 653 for a total of 1,255. Ray Fox, another member of this household, had 644 In his singles try, which makes one admit that the Foxs are a “striking” family. O. Behrens, rolling on the late shift, poured in strike after strike in his last two games for totals of 246 and 243, but a slow start of 177 held him to 666 and fourth place in this event. . Larry Cobler helped Frank Fox with 597 in the doubles and their I, was good for fifth place in the final standings. Standings of the first ten in each event follows: SINGLES E. McCarty 696;8.

Frankie Wine, the Roundup (Mont.) blacksmith-pug, with a wallop in either mitt as stinging as the kick of the mules he formerly Shod, was to arrive today for his ten-round fight with Art Weigand of Buffalo in the Armory ring Tuesday night. Frankie became quite the popular pugilistic idol of the fistic fans out in the wild and woolly burgs of Butte, Billings, Couer D’Alene, Shelby and other Western boxing centers, and since he started east his career has been closely watched by the folks “back home.” And the pugnacious gent with the anti-Volstead moniker has had nothing but good news to send back to his native State, for he has been winning with regularity against good ones since arriving in these parts. However, his scrap here with Weigand is considered the toughest engagement he has ever taken on, and if he makes the grade with the Buffalo pug he will be all ready for some good “shots” over East. An eight-round scrap between Mickey O’Dowd of Muncie and Jimmie Dalton of this city occupies the semi-windup spot, and two six-stanza frays and a fourround curtain-raiser fill the card.

Jerry O’Grady and his Century Alley five rolled into first place in the Central State Tourney now running at Dayton, Ohio, with a total of 3,029. Starting with a slow 928, the boys went' to work and turned in counts of 1,054 and 1,047. This is one club that is hard to beat once they “find” the alleys. O'Grady and Dersch were the heavy wood getters, each boy having 646. Harrigan was next with 623, Schleimer has 592 and John Naughton, who usually can be relied on for 580 or 590, fell way below his form and stopped at 522.

Much Interest in Grace Scrap With Joe Dundee The Friday night fistic battle at Tomlinson Hall between Joe Dundee and Meyer Grace is attracting unusual attention and promoters of the show expect a capacity house. Dundee is the generally recognized king of the welters and his opponent, v ho has appeared here many times, also is rated as a high-class mitt slinger. The semi-final bout and one preliminary have been arranged, but Joe Cacobs, matchmaker for the National A. C., is desirous of withholding the names of the participants until he has completed the card. j The main-go fighters are expected to put in an appearance Wednesday or Thursday to taper off lor the engagement. GIANTS STEP OUT Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. s.—The New York Giants, professional football team, virtually cinched the championship of the National Professional Football League when they defeated Red Grange’s Yankees at the Polo Grounds Sunday, 14 to 0.

Waner was ever a menace to opposing pitchers. He was fleet as the wind on the bases and a ball hawk in right field. There was nothing in common •etween Waner and any of the other winners of the National League award. Dazzy Vance of the Robins won the first award in 1924 on his brilliant pitching record. In 1925 Hornsby, with the Cardinals at that time, won the award on his offensive playing, but it was of a widely different style than Waner’s. Frisch Beats Hornsby Oddly enough, Hornsby was third in this year’s election with 54 points. Frankie Frisch, of the Cardinals, for whom Hornsby was traded, was second with 66 points. Frisch did not receive a single vote for first place, but piled up his points on smaller votes, being well near the top in almost every ballot. Two pitchers, Red Lucas of the Reds, and Charlie Root of the Cubs, received one first place each. Waner, received five. Paul Waner’s kid brother Lloyd, in his first year in the big leagues, was sixth in the voting with 25 points. i A young player and apparently wjth many of the best years of his career ahead of him, Paul Waner undoubtedly will be a serious contender for the most valuable player award again. Hornsby is another winner of the award, who bids fair to compete with the prize again. Unlike the American League, the rules of the Rational League do not bar a player once he wins the prize.

‘Chick ’ Meehan to Leave N. Y. U. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. s.—“ Chick” Meehan has joined T. A. D. Jones in the list of football coaches, who are uncertain concerning their plans for 1928. Meehan, who has made a striking success as coach at New York University, will not return next Fall, but Will accept one of a number of attractive offers elsewhere. Jones, under pressure from Yale graduates and alumni, may change his mind and choose to coach at New Haven in 1928. Since Meehan’s resignation, there has been some talk of "Chick” succeeding Jones at Yale, but men in touch with the .Eli football situation declare this to be impossible. Telegrams are pouring in upon Jones, urging him to withdraw his resignation, but for the moment, as he says, “Tad” }s standing pat, SOUTHPAWS, ACORNS TIE Semi-Pro Grid Teams Battle to 6-6 Deadlock.

Final polish will be put on the In • diana University basketball squad this week for the opening game of the season here Saturday night against Franklin College. Coach Everett Dean has plenty to worry about, with only three regulars from last year’s team available. Art Beckner, Muncie, star forward, will be eligible for only four Big Ten games. He graduates in January. With Beckner’s leaving, Coach Dean will have another problem la selecting his successor. Indiana plays every team in the Conference this year but Wisconsin, Minnesota and Northwestern. The chart is clearly the toughest Indiana ever has faced in one season of basketball. Franklin will be here In full force in an attempt to score a victory.
