Off The ♦ Backboard By VERN BOXELL

DAY after day, from the middle of December until the Ides ot March, this column must go on Sometimes there are many things to say, and then other times not sc much. Often, some sayings aren't exactly to the liking of certain persons, and often some views and opinions are not expressed thet should be presented. Eventually, we hear about such misdemeanors through the mail. Contributors have Hooded Backboard with mail. Oh yes, we get letters too. After telling vou that Coach Case of Frankfort used Lawhead, Unroe. Thompson, Shaefer, Locke and Stroup against Horace Mann, and that the Northern Plague used anew tip-off play which sent Elser. 220-pound backguard, crashing under the basket six times for five field goals when the Horsemen defeated the champs Saturday, well turn this column .over to our critics. On with the show. a a a Among the rhoire letter* we find a note from *'Aren't tVe All,** who informs u* hr will pirk a state rhampion. Some people like to do a lot of work and worrying without pay. He has cut his flw'.d of rontenders to seven. Ineluding Martinsvillr. Terh. Washington. Columbus, Frankfort. Anderson and Miinrie. Which means he isn't eon-idering Horace Mann and transport. He are. along with several other*. tt tt * Dear Backboard When you said Washington Reserves. I sat. up and read the whole thing over again. The Continentals really appreciate all the good anybody says about them. Tech is good, but we have a freshman forward who Is ‘'hot" and a couple of sophomores, one who has Just become eligible. Our varsity is nothing to look down on. We have a center and forward left for next year, so watch our smoke. CONTINENTAL HOGJAW. a tt tt The “follow” on that letter might read: “Washington won two games this week-end by decisive scores. Never mind who, they won two games, and two wins in a row in this day of upsets is something to crow about. u n a • Bobbie of Tech” is of the opinion that Tech still is as good as they come, and adds that the fans still are back of the Campbellmen. He believes the hard schedule haR something to do with the reversals. u a tt On the other hand. Jack and Watt, who reside near Thirtv-fourth and Penn., so they say. state that "Indianapolis ha* a worthy successor to the greatly scoffed Miortridge ‘wonder team* —Tech. We wonder when they will win another game. Maybe Shortridge wore them out In the city tourney. A few more city tourneys, and Tech will be unable to fare Podunk and Ambrosia on successive evenings without a violet ray treatment in between games.” tt tt tt *Ve’ll let “Eleanor.” an old faithful, answer that. a a Dear Backboard—A Techtte speaking— I would like to broadcast a plea for some real school spirit and some loyal—a mean really loyal—supporters. If there be any such persons, speak up. 1 am rather doubtful myself. The boys need support now more than they've ever needed It. There are many who don't Intend to go to another green and white game until Tech wins one. Don't be that way. We have a wonderful coach, a fine team, and let's show what kind of a student body we have by supporting our team. ELEANOR. tt tt tt Dear Backboard —Now that you've got a reason for being down on Tech, let's hope you don’t take advantage of it. Tech has lowered your batting average for three consecutive games, and that's enough to make any columnist mad. However. Tech looked good even in defeat and I believe Tim will have a real combination by tournament time. THE STUDENT PRINCE. tt tt tt Believe in Campbell and you will be .saved, eh Prince? e a a Dear Backboard —As I have been a spectator at numerous games where the lending teams of the state have participated. I am fully convinced that Tech Is one of the most powerful teams in this state. I was a witness of the Frankfort-Tech and Connersvtlle-Tech games and I am fully convinced that Tedh has the most powerful team of the three. A FAN. tt B tt Them's big words. tt a a Eddie, Shortrtdge's best backer. Informs Backboard that there is one little team in theh southern part of the state that will bear watching. It Is Rising Sun. “ a team that w* don't hear much about, but a dog-gone good one nevertheless." ' PRO GOLF MEET SEI Ru l nitc<S Pr, ** NEW YORK.

to that on Krug’s car. When Krug protested that he had sufficient tc reach a service station, the ball player insisted he take more. “Then Gus struck a match to peer into his tank and see if he couldn’t spare me a little more, leaving just enough for him to reach a gas station,” said Krug. “The explosion resulted.” A few days prior to his death Sandberg had given a pint of blood to save the life of an unidentified man. The death of the catcher came as a blow to members and officials of the Los Angeles club. “The very fact he was so well thought of by other players makes his loss all the greater,” Manager Jack Lelivelt said, “because he had inspired a confidence that will be hard to duplicate. He knew the weaknesses of batters as few other catchers are able to judge them, and was always a great help to his pitcher.”

Midland College Forward Puts 19 Field Goals in Basket Rv XEA Hen-ice FREMONT. Neb., Feb. 4.—The reason that Paul Nordstrom forward on the Midland college team of this city, has been

high individual scorer among Nebraska Conference basketeers for two seasons, is seen in the box score of the recent Midland-Nebraska Central game, won by the Middies, 104 to 17. Nordstrom counted nineteen field goals and a charity throw for* thirty-nine points in the contest.

The Middies gained 890 yards through the air on sixty-eight successful passes of 157 forwards attempted by Nordstrom.

Dodger Controversy Up for Debate at League Session Believed Robinson Will Be Re-E'ected Brooklyn Manager, With York Succeeding Him as President.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—The last gathering of major league club owners before the opening of the spring training season was he and at the Hotel Commodore today when National League magnates adopted the 1930 schedule. The national season will open April 15 and close Sept. 28. Outside the meeting several managers attempted to make their final efforts to strengthen their clubs by trades. At least two managers, Bill McKechnie of the Boston Braves and Dan Howley of the Cincinnati Reds, were willing to trade several

along about noon and it’s possible to fry an egg in it in the late afternoon. From about 10 to 1 will be the active field hours for the Tribe athletes until the exhibition schedule starts. The park at Sarasota is directly back of the Sarasota Terrace hotel, Indian headquarters this year, and the hostelry is quite some distance from the business section, which will mean much legwork for the ball players if they wish “to go to the city of an evening.” a >t Umpire Barry McCormick lias been dropped from the National League staff and has caught on with the International loop. Ollie Chill will be back with the International circuit this season. ana THE International has made a change in the distribution of receipts, providing that the visiting team be paid 15 cents per admission, instead of 12 Vs cents as in the past. Umpires Donnelly and Erwin of the Texas League have been given International contracts. ana The real Big Grizzly Man of baseball is Andy Lotsbaw of Indianapolis, who is acting as trainer for the Chicago Bruins pro league basketball team. From spring until fall Lotshaw trains the Chicago Cubs and after that he fills the same duties with the Chicago Bears pro football sauad. In other words he’s Cub, Bear and Bruin all in one; an* Lotshaw helped Indianapolis win the 1917 A. A. pennant, picked up the art of club trainer while at Washington park ana later landed employment with the Chicago Cubs, where he made good immediately and stayed. n n * ED MAXWELL, star shortstop of the McKendree college nine of Lebanon, 111., has been signed by the St. Louis Cardinals for a trial with their farm club at Danville in the Three-I League. Idris Cornwell, McKendree pitcher, recently was taken on for a tryout with the same baseball chain store. ana Danny MacFavden of the lowly Boston Red Sox pitched four shutouts last season. And he wears specs. Baseball fans in general would be delighted to see Danny transferred to a strong club and given a real chance in the national pastime. nan George Earnshaw of the champion Athletics was jerked from the mound or withdrawn for a pinch hitter twenty times during the regular 1929 campaign. But that didn’t help the Chicago Cubs any in the world’s series. ana PONGO JOE CANTILLON is said to have been the first to suggest the foul strike rule in the majors and also the rule forcing the catcher to work directly back of the plate all the time. The late Pongo was a big league umpire at the time he advised these rules to speed up the game.
