Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 3. elusiveness of football form A and golf form has been linked in the same controversial breath before. A conspicuous example of this was to be noted in the Notre Dame-Army game which concluded the eastern season. In that game more than 80.000 persons were treated to the spectacle of an Army team which hadn't been able to win a single major game all year rising to superb heights. In spite of its defeat by a single touchdown, this team displayed a potency and cohesion that stamped it one of the great teams of the year. nan On that particular afternoon the hitherto erratic Army team v bich had been tied be Harvard beaten hv Yale and routed bv Illinois would have ben a match for any team in tb“ country. I don't think it is taking anythin- av.av from Notre Dame when it is said that If the breaks had rone the other wav the result might have been sharply different. nan THERE were two notable breaks in the game and both of them went against the Army. The first was when a touchdown pass from Cagle in the second quarter went fluttering into the arms of Elder, the fastest man in football, who made The catch near the Notre Dame goal line, swung immediately into high and did not stop until he had crossed the Soldiers’ goal ninetyi .• iit yards away. Had the ball been intercepted at that point by any player other than this 9 4-5 sprinter the chance; are the run would have been broken up before midfield was reached. nan The other break came in the fourth < carter when another pass from Caxle. f’i p in Notre Dame territory, failed by iu lies when Hutchinson, the Army half tack, fell sprawling on the icy field with clear road ahead. True, there were • -aks that went against the visitors from th fiend, hut there were comparatively • important In character. ana There was something about this / y team that was missing in tire c riier games of the year. It had power and drive and fight. Tha : r me line that had been erratic, un- < rtain and awkward against Yrle v as a flawlessly functioning unit. ana dope tv as that the Army 1. line would be outsmarted ana outplayed by the Twomeys, the Cannons, the Laws, the Leahys, and the Colricks. But it was not at all. On the contrary, if there was an edge in this respect, and I thought there was a definite one, Army had it. nun Os course there is the possibility that the long, tough schedule had taken its toil from the Notre Dame forwards, but with Kockne-trair.ed squads this is not as serious a consideration as with the average squad because of the great number of substitutions he employs. It is also true some allowance must be made for the fact that the Army hadn’t had a hard game for two weeks for this meant a minimum ot punishment and ample time to prime the team. u an But admitting all this, it was a revelation to watch these eleven courageous Cadets who started and finished the game without a substitution in their final effort to score a notable victory before what might be called a home crowd. so# THE frozen surface of the field minimized offensive fireworks j on both sides, and it is not easy to i say whether the cadets or the South | Benders suffered the most. As the j game w’as played the two most effective backs on the field—excepting the fleet-footed Elder and his epic dash—were Cagle and Murrel. Os the two, the red-headed boy from the bayou lands of Louisiana was the one who caught and held the imagination every time he swung into action. There was always a chance that he would get loose and go somewhere. He was a constant threat whether running with or throwing the ball. 0 0 0 C’iAGLE spurns the orthodox. i Probably no player in football was accorded more liberties in action by his coach than the Army! ceptain. He may pass or run as he elects. He has no set routine in! following his interference. He is just j as likely to start on an end run, ston sharply and go slicing off tackle of his own accord as not. 000 An'f no forward passer in years possibly rot in the history of football, has cons ctenUy dropped back as far as Cagle before firing his shots. It is nothing for h m to fall back twenty or thirty Tards I -fore peering to an uncovered receiver. Yet In spite of the obvious hazards Involved, this practice has brought him and the Army team unusual success.

I. H. S. A. A. Changes Tourney Fund Distribution System Smaller Per Cent of Receipts to Be Taken by Governing Body to Keep Treasury From Swelling.

BY DICK MILLER Anew system for distribution of funds derived from sectional, regional and state high school basket tourneys has been decided upon by the board of control of the I. H. S. A. A. and will be introduced in the 1930 tournaments, a bulletin issued by A. L. Trester, commissioner, revealed today. Because there has been persistent demand among members of the association that means be arranged to keep the association treasury from growing larger, with a balance on hand of $98,501.10, it was decided at the last meeting of the board to decrease the percentage rate governing the amounts due the I. H. S. A. A. from sectional and regional tournaments. Schools to Get More It was agreed that in the sectionals.x the rate be cut from 5 per cent to 1 per cent of the fourth balance. Thus the tournament will be run as follows: All legitimate expenses except for transportation of teams will be deducted from gross receipts to gain balance one. The center school promoting the tournament then will receive SIOO, leaving balance two. The transportation of the teams will be paid at the rate of four cents a mile, leaving the third balance. The center school then will deduct another SIOO, leaving the fourth balance, and where in the past the L H. S. A. A. has taken 5 per cent of the fourth balanoe. In 1930 they will take but 1 per cent. One-ahlf the balance shaU then be prorated to each of the contesting schools, the renter srbool sharing, and the other half shall be pro-rated to the participating schools on the basis of ticket sales. In regional tournaments It was decided to eliminate entirely the 10 per cent share allotted to the I. H. S. A. A. treasury from the balance left after the operating expenses had been paid and the center school allotted $l5O. However, the section which allows the I. H. S. A. A. 50 per cent of the balance that remains after the transportation of the regional teams has been deducted and the center school allotted another $l5O still remains in the bugiget system. Finalists Get Bonus As to the final tournament it was agreed that the bonus to each team should be increased, but the amount of increase was deferred uhtil the next board meeting. Previously all teams have received transportation, expenses and SIOO bonus if the tournaments proceeds permitted. Since the final tournament h?i been

Magnates Advised to Cut * Operating Expenses for 1930 Season. TOPORCER GETS BACKING Player Deals on Fire at Clrattanooga. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 3. Major and minor league baseball officials, gathering here today, prepared for the twenty-eighth annual convention of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, w’hich opens a three-day session tomorrow. Most of the major league clubs had representatives here, while all of the minor leagues in organized baseball were represented. The meeting, however, is essentially a minor league gathering. Big Minors in Session Preceding the convention proper, the three Class AA leagues (the big minors) met today. Among the more important questions are the draft, proposed legislation to curtail the overhead expenses of minor leagues, the election of an International League president and the appeal of Infielder George Torporcer and Manager Billy Southworth of the Rochester International League club. Torporcer was suspended for one year and Southworth fined SSOO for their part in a near riot in Rochester during the final game of the 1929 “little world series’’ against Kansas City. Want Penalty Reduced The International League at a recent meeting in New York went on record as feeling that the punishment was too drastic, and will make an effort to have the national board of arbitration lessen the penalty to Torporcer. Jack Hendricks, former manager of the Cincinnati Reds, who failed to get the presidency of the International league by one vote, may get the post at a meeting of the league officials here. President Mike Sexton feels that the minor leagues must devise means to curtail their overhead expenses if they are to continue to prosper and expand. Deals in Making Many trades are expected to be made. The foundation for several major league deals probably will be laid here and the actual trades announced at the major league meetings at New York Dec. 10, 11 and 12. The Cincinnati Reds for one are quite apt to do some trading. Dan Howley, former manager of the St. Louis Browns and new leader of the Cincinnati Reds, is anxious to land a pair of pitchers. It is whispered that Dazzy Vance of Brooklyn and Burleigh Grimes of Pittsburgh, are the men he will bid for. Bob Shawkey, new manager of the New York Yankees; Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the club, and Business Manager Ed Barrow are others who came here in a frame of mind which is not opposed to trading.

financially successful, it has been decided to increase the bonus. The sectional tournaments will be held, March 6 and 7, the regional play March 14, and the final tournament at Butler field house in Indianapolis, March 20 and 21. Dates for the sectional track meets were named as March 17 with the final meet on May 24. Discussions at the board meeting also covered tickets, insurance, ticket allottments and other minor details. Cannon Accepts Creighton Post Bu Times ftneclnl OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 3.—Jack Cannon, star guard on the Notre Dame football team and an almost unanimous choice for all-America honors, has accepted an offer to become line coach at Creighton university here next fall, according to the Omaha Bee-News.

O’CONNOR TAKES LEAD Lee O’Connor went into first play in the state three-cushion billiard tournament by trouncing Charles Carter, 50 to 25, at Cooler’s parlor Monday.

While sportdom has been , wondering who would upset Notre j Dame and Purdue, what was wrong I with Indiana and Butler, and more | recently, who’d be on the all-this | and that team, Indiana high school quintets have been cutting each other’s throats in a manner that would put the Eoston massacre to shame.

Atherton Is Ring Victor Happy Has Vaquero on Floor in Second. \ In next Monday’s main go at Tomlinson hall, Tracy Cox, Indianapolis featherweight, will meet Kid Lenchio, Mexican. Anastasio Vaquero, Panama flyweight pugilist, proved himself a game little scrapper against Happy Atherton in the main go of ten rounds at Tomlinson hall Monday night, but the Indianapolis veteran knew too much and won all the way. Atherton flattened Anastasio in the second round and it looked like curtains, but the midget brown lad managed to beat the count and stay the limit. Both boys threw plenty of gloves, but Atherton was stronger and heavier and his blows inflicted the more damage. The visitor was tired and badly marked up at the finish, and Atherton also was “blowing’’ from the rapid pace. Buzz Carlin, Jeffersonville, was no match for Johnny Sernas and the latter won by knockout in the third round. Scotty Scotten, Indianapolis, knocked out Eddie Baker, Jeffersonville. in the first round with a right to the jaw after scoring a knockdown with a left hook.

It was a real fight, give and take.

the big Negro center, and Englehart, a dead-eye forward. Their latest conquest was Horace Mann of Gary, the surprise team of the state tourney last season. Other victims have been Mitchell and Martinsville. 000 WHILE on the subject of Horace Mann, it must be said that in playing Washington, the Horsemen had hung up their moleskins only five nights before. Keith Crown ; has Cavanaugh, Kos, Aubuchon, Elser, Johnson and Massitti left from the team that gave Frankfort a score in the state tourney last spring, and when they get rolling, they’ll be hard to stop. With the state track title, already resting in Gary, at Froebel, and the gridiron championship evidently bound for Horace Mann, it may be a big year for the steel city. 000 Frankfort, the team that brought well-deserved and lasting glory to the erstwhile Mr. Backboard, N. E. Isaacs, by fulfilling his state championship prophecy, again is a top-nocher. The Hot Dogs stepped through Muncie. Vincennes and Rochester, before Logansport threw a wrench in the works. tt a tt JUMPING around over the state, we find that Columbus has a bet-ter-than-aver~-a quintet, built around Feb: gand Beck, rangy veterans. Vi: :nnes, after a slow start, dropped the Bedford Stone Cutters last Friday, which means the Alices are getting stronger, or Bedford has been over-rated. Logansport has a rangy combination featuring Davis and Alberts, and it’s another high scoring outfit this year. Anderson has a fair team which met an unexpected reversal at the hands of Kokomo. 000 Three teams always mentioned in Big Ten a few years ago have fared none too well. They are Muncie, Kokomo ai~-’ Marion. And In these towns, the sports writers still are talking of prospects in “ifs.”

BEDNAR’S 1929 record was twenty-one victories and only four defeats. He struck out 178 and walked only thirty. A Pirate scout was present when Bednar turned in the no-hit performance and a deal was made on the spot. Scouts with other big league clubs arrived too late with offers.
