Talking It Over B¥ JOE WILLIAMfe

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.—A few paragraphs about hockey, if you don’t mind, while the pleasantry is waiting for Notre Dafoe and Army to tear at one another’s throats. This gentle pastime is under way at the garden. Easily the swiftest of sports, except high dice, hockey is also the roost tnroul<0011! a a a A season that goes by without the >egue teams suffering from fifty to sixt" ■mportant injuries, ranging from broken eg”, to fractured rkulis. is considered a failure.

Ten years ago a hockey player who made SBOO a -eason was a Babe Ruth. A year ago Chine Johnson. Rangers’ defense man, held out for SIO,OOO. Not so long ago a crowd of 10.000 at a hockey match any where was big stuff. Now 20,000 fs not an uncommon -rowd ana Yet hockey is still in its infancy as a crowd sport.

The defense still has the upper stick. a a a THIS is an age of speed, action and results. Hockey has speed and action, but, decisive results come infrequently.

Also a safer game. a a a Hockey can not thrive long on the promise that the customer, no matter what the game result, may at least be reasonably sure of seeing a player carried off with a hroken ankle or a cracked law. Even if this were an inducement it would soon become monotonous. Marquette Is Butler Foe By Times Special MILWAUKEE.

In addition I they have an advantage in condi--1 tion. Kentucky Wesleyan and Ursinus. opponents of the last two weeks have not extended Army, while our game with Northwestern left us in a weakened condition.” Snow prevented Wednesday’s scheduled outdoor drill—the first workout since the Northwestern game—and it is probable that Notre Dame will go into Saturday's game without a single real drill for the contest. Army's squad, generally rated as the strongest in the east, now is en route to Chicago and is reported in prime condition for the game. The Cadets have the same line which held Notre Dame to a 'i-to-0 score in 1929 and a wealth of capable backs.

A Versatile Lad Was Student Knute; Vaulted High and Played the Flute

BY WILLIAM BRAUCHER NEA Service Sports Writer CLEVELAND, 0., Nov. 27.—1n the “Dome” of 1913, the Notre Dame yearbook, is a picture of a young man dressed as “Mrs. Smith,” one of the roles in the play “David Garrick.” That introduces your friend. Knute Rockne, the Bald Eagle of South Bend, in a brand-new rolefemale impersonator. If you can figure that one out. here’s another; Knute Rockne at Notre Dame was a piccolo player! Old friends of the coach of what apparently has now proved one of the two best teams in the country, confided a few chapters from the student life of Rockne. Rockne Was Track Star “We first knew Rockne as a pole vaulter, and he was not the best known boy on the campus in those days. In chemistry he was a wizard. He became known as a good elocutionist and took part in many of the plays. “The trait that always marked Rockne as we knew him in those days was tenacity. When he set about to do something he clung to his task like a bulldog. He had quiet confidence in his ability to accomplish anything he undertook. “He was a great pole vaulter. In those days twelve feet was a sensational mark. Knute finally attained it, after long hours of practice. He also -spent a lot of time in the laboratory, experimenting with this and that. Became Science Assistant “Even before Rockne graduated he was assistant professor of chemistry. “The seventeen-year-old copy of the ‘Dome’ shows Rockne as a player in the band. The following verse, by one of the student writers, concerns the musical young chemistry prof: i “‘While lively-going Knute, Who sometimes plays the piccolo, Received applause from all For recovering the pigskin.’ 'i Glancing through the yearbook | of Rcckne’s day reveals other interesting notes about the young man. Such as: “May -I—Track

Reds Send Two West Crawford and Callaghan Go to Hollywood in Heath Deal. By United Press CINCINNATI. Nov. 27. Fat Crawford, inficlder, and Marty Callaghan, outfielder, were released Wednesday by the Cincinnati National League Club to Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League as final payment for the release of Mickey Heath, first baseman, obtained last Monday. Hollywood also got some cash in the deal. Crawford came to the Reds last May in a trade w’hich landed Pete Donohue and Eban Allen with the Giants. He finished the season as Cincy’s second baseman. That job now is slated to go to Tony Cuccinello next year with Joe Stripp playing third and Heath first. Leo Durocher will continue as the shortstop. Callaghan has been Cincy’s property three years after being obtained from Seattle. Because relations between the majors and Pacific Coast League are scheduled to end for one year starting Dec. 1, the Reds retain no claim to Callaghan and Crawford.

Cruising in* Sportland

JOHNNY CORRIDEN, pilot of the Indians, and Bill Clauer, secretary, will do the talking and handle player deals, if any, at the big meeting of the minor leagues in Montreal Dec. 3, 4 and 5. The bosses have a hunch they’ll do some good up there in the way of grabbing talent for the 1931 Tribesmen, for these Canadian conventions usually attract heavy attendance and countless gabfests take place. Many major league clubs will have representatives on hand, including Ownie Bush, White Sox manager, and Barney Mike Kelly, coach. Bush and Kelly will go to Chicago first to view the Army-Notre Dame grid clash, join other Sox officials and proceed to Montreal. * a u ana Johnny Riddle, stalwart Tribe backstop who was cut down by sickness long before the 1930 season ended, is on his feet again and yearning for another campaign to roll around. His latest misfortune was an appendix operation following several months of illness. Hence the remainder of the winter will be spent as a vacation. He left for San Antonio a few! days ago to rest until spring training time.

BILL BURWELL, veteran Indian • right-hander, has returned from a jaunt to Cuba and will idle away the snow months by staying in Florida, far removed from northern cold. He has established a winter residence in Sarasota, wher the Indians do their spring exercise. Bill will play golf, swim, hunt and fish until the new season starts. B B B When Burwell departed from Havana, Claude Jonnard and Tom Angley, other Indians, remained behind to play a few more games against Cuban nines. Cuba has seen more Yankee players the last two months than ever before. It was a happy way for the Athletes to escape off-season employment worry.

They are Malcolm Moss and Lynn Nelson, pitchers, formerly in the American Association, Moss with Louisville and Nelson with Kansas City. Both were stars in the A.

Southern California will be met Dec. 6. a a a JOE SHEA, old-time ball player and later a traveling painter, died recently in California. Working in Idaho one summer years ago, he noticed a powerful young Swede pitching for Weiser, a small town. He wired the tip to the late Joe Cantillon, manager of Washington at the time. The pitcher was Walter Johnson. a a a Others have been credited with discovering the Big Train, but the real sleuth was Joe Shea, an unpaid scout, who perhaps was painting a sign at the time and sneaking a look at a ball game between brush dips. * a a a ON the air Wednesday night, Ring Lardner was interviewed by Grantland Rice. He said it is impossible to pick an all-America grid team nowadays, because there are not enough Americans left playing football. Thereupon he went on to mention a dozen or more leading stars with names that knocked the air waves for a load of static. *a a a Which brings up another fear.
