Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 —Franklin P. Day, president of Union college, created no little stir the other day when in a speech before the National Collegiate Athletic Association he urged a return to pure amateurism by abolishing paid gates at the football games and high salaried coaches. Mr. Day would subtsitute an invitational system for spectators and a graduate coach with sufficient zeal and school loyalty to work without pay. In this way, the gentleman contends all the evils and abuses incident to college athletics would be eliminated automatically. Since these evils and abuses seemingly are rooted in the financial phases of sports. 000 Without intending or desiring to impurn tho motive* of Mr. Day it Is impoMblr to nrspr the fact that these suggestions do not carry as much impressiveness or conviction as they might it the/ had come from Vale or Harvard or any one of the major colleges where football annually is a million dollar business. a a a ONE OF THE REASON* T ALWAYB HAVE SUFFERED A CERTAIN RESTRAINT IN CHEERING A COMMUNIST SPEAKER IN HIS INSISTENCE THAT ROCKEFELLERS WEALTH SHOULD BE TAKEN FROM HIM AND DISTRIBUTED AMONG THE LOCAL WHITE WINGS IS THAT I NEVER CAN BE QUITE SURE THAT IF THE BANK BALANCES WERE REVERSED HE STILL WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT IT. a a a UNION college sponsors a modest schedule in football and habitually takes its drubbings from Columbia and Vermont, playing before gatherings which are described in the sport pages as "scattered thousands," and in other ways functions along simple, unpretentious lines. sirs It l plain, therefore, that Professor Day is not forced to grapple with the game problems that exist in the bigger •eats of learning and. In view of this fart. It is hard to accept the learned man ms • pre-eminent authority on the aubject. 0 0 # IDEALISM IN MANY THINGS SEEMS TO GROW OUT OF FIXED CIRCUMSTANCES AND THERE ALWAYS ARE A FEW PRACTICAL CYNICS WHO WILL HOLD TO THE BELIEF THAT IN CHANGED CONDITIONS THE MORAL STANDARDS OF ANY GIVEN INSTITUTION MIGHT BE SHARPLY ALTERED. Rosenbloom Is Easy \\ inner Btt Vnitrd Pres 8 NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Maxie Rosenbloom’s Decisive ten-round victory over Leo Lomski of Aberdeen, Wash., at Madison Square Garden Friday night, may win the New York light heavyweight official recognition as a contender for the 175-pound championship.

NATIONAL BOSSES HOPE TO STEM CUBS DRIVE

Powerful Cub Team Is Feared McCarthy Makes Effort to Strengthen Already Great Club. BY DIXON STEWART United Pres* Staff Corresponde it NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—While the internal warfare of the New York Giants, with the possibility that it may result in an explanation of the mysterious trade which sent Rogers Hornsby to Boston, and the reopening of the Cozy Dolan-Jimmy OConnell scandal of 1924, is monopolizing the attention of local baseball fans, National League managers are interested chiefly in the problem of preventing the Chicago Cubs from repeating their 1929 pennant victory. The Cubs made a runaway race of the 1929 campaign and give promise of being an even stronger team during 1930. Manager Joe McCarthy and Owner William Wrigley have made a serious effort to strengthen any weak spots in the Clubs’ lineup and have done more to improve their club since the close of son than any rival. Efficiency Is Added Purchase of Lynn Nelson and Malcolm Moss, leading pitchers of the American Association, added efficiency to the Cubs’ already strong pitching staff and the purchase of Lester Bell from Boston is expected to fill satisfactorily the weakest position on the Cub team, third base. Gabby Hartnett, the Cubs’ great catcher, was unable /> play during the 1929 season because of a sore arm. Recent reports indicate that he has overcome his ailment and will be ready to resume regular duties in 1930. Cincinnati, under new ownership and with Dan Howley as manager, also has made efforts toward improvement. Harry Heilman and Bob Meusel. secured on waivers from the American League, should provide the Reds with an added punch. Cuccinello, a rookie third baseman, is counted upon to complete the infield. Recruits May Do Well At Pittsburgh much is expected of two recruits, Gus Suhr and Charles Engle. Suhr, a slugger from the Pacific coast is counted upon to hold down the regular first base assignment, while Manger Ens believes Engle will develop into a fine shortstop, relieving Bartel for second base duty. The Waner brothers and Adam Comorosky, 1929 holdouts, have been signed for 1930. By securing Sparky Adams from Pittsburgh, the St. Louis Cardinals have settled the .infield problem which handicapped them last season. Adams is expected to play second base, with Frankie Frisch transferred to third. Burt Shotton believed that the addition of Grover Cleveland Alexander and Harry McCurdy will enable the Phillies to win many more games next season. McCurdy is expected to fill the gap left by the death of Walter Lerian. Boston and Brooklyn have done little to strengthen their teams. The situation at Brooklyn is complicated by a stockholders fight over control and even the managerial situation is unsettled.

Broad Ripple’s game with New Augusta, and the Broad Ripple-Beech Grove freshman game likewise have been postponed indefinitely. bum A glsnee at the lenr Ust of scores of Friday Bight game* indicates that the net season is about half done and that before long the dopesters will be getting oat their pencils, paper and records and start figuring on who’s who in the various sectionals, regional* and state. bub A more serious glance at these scores indicates that the same dopesters are goln gto have a mighty hard time. B * IN Backboard’s opinion the biggest happening in the state wasn’t Frankfort’s victovy over Muncie, Shortridge’s complete rout of Tipton, or Tech’s scant win over Kokomo. Bloomington won a basketball game, and that’s no misprint. The Panthers, after losing all their games to date, conquered Greenfield. 23 to 16. mm* Shortridge apparently hap struck a winning stride. Tipton wss no pushover, as they demonstrated to Kokomo recently. The Blt Devils should continue at the expense of Alexandria. b B m Tech won another ball game. The only thing that marred the evening was Kokomo's band. There’s a bunch of horn tooter’s who are different. Their music Isn’t pretty, but It’s awful loud.

Kokomo Is Tamed by Technical Wildcats Not So Wild Today —lndianapolis Boys Take Care of That. BY YERN BOXELL Times Stall Correspondent KOKOMO. Ind., Jan. 4—Kokomo's Wildcats weren't so wild today. Tim Campbell and his animal trainers from Arsenal Tech of Indianapolis subdued Abie Master's Kats, 38 to 37. here Thursday night, thereby administering the fourth one or two-point defe-ats the local harwood pastimers have received in five starts. The game was a most unusual , one. It brought together one of i the fastest teams in the state and one that uses the delayed offense primarily. These boys from the banks of Wildcat creek apparently are tireless, probably the speediest team in the state, excepting Anderson. Lack of size and narrow misses on under-the-basket shots held down the Kokomo count. On the other hand, consistent connecting from midcourt by Reissner, Campbell and Low erv put the capital city quintet in front. Carry Off Honors Reisener, Campbell and Lowery carried off all honors for the Green. Tim’s center registered six field goals and a free throw in the last half. Campbell, anew back guard performer, in addition to playing a bang-up defensive game, connected on four of five tries from the field. Lowery was the Albie Booth of the quintet, incidentally adding six field goals and a gratis toss to the Tech scoring column. "Mike and Ike, they look alike,” had nothing on the Kokomo outfit. All are about the same size, same speed, same style—and believe it or not—they look and shoot alike. Emmerling alone is distinctive, and that because he has blond curly hair, while the thatches of the others are adorned by sleek black locks. Crumley Real Star Crumley proved himself one of the best little players in the state. He was the sugar in the Wildcat's coffee. Frederick, Maddox and Black also shared in the offensive honors, Emmerling staying back to take care of the basket. It was apparent neither team has reached full stride yet. As for the game, Tech led most of the first half until the Kats spurted to assume a 16-to-14 advantage at rest time. In the final period, the count was knotted five times. With a minute to play, Tech took time out for the fourth time, and the Kats were given a free throw and a chance to tie the score, but Crumley’s effort fell short. The affair was devoid entirely of stalling, even when the invadera were holding a one-point lead with a few seconds to play.
