Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.—Brooklyn fans, always a hardy race, arc to be kept Tiardy. This is indicated by the abandonment of plans for the erection of anew left field stand which would have increased the capacity of Ebbets field to something like 34,000. This would seem small enough when you compare it with 76,000 at the Yankee stadium and 54,000 at the Polo grounds. But Some of the owners of the Brooklyn club are determined to keep their park exclusive and maintain the fighting standards of their customers. a a a Slevf Mr.Ktever. hv controls half of ♦he club, has no hankering to keen the Dodgers within the limited confines of a nark that might hare been large enough hack in the days of Ned Hanlon's Super* has. But his associates conceivably believe that large hall parks, making ingress and egress comfortable and the scats numerous, soften the baseball race. They want to keep the fans fighting—battling one another, struggling srilb the cops and firemen, battling with the scalpers—all for the sake of true, old-fashioned sport. ana Personally. I do not like the Idea of bcniß belted around by mounted gendarmes and having my Sunday best torn off mv back in my ardor to see the Dodgers perform In Flatbush. Rather do I like the leisurely walk to the box office and the genteel entry assured at the flew York ball parks. ana BUT I suppose Brooklyn takes a different view of such matters. Baseball isn’t a sport over on Long Island side. It isn’t a mere game in Kings county. It’s a religion with a peculiar fervor like that of the Hindoo faker who thinks he is a holy man because he sleeps on nails. • ana Asa result I do not feel entirely competent to discuss this matter of 34.000 seats for perhaps 100,000 clients. But it docs strike me a* atrociously bad business. There I go again. Calling baseball in Brooklyn a mere business! Friedman May Get Coast Job By Lulled rrcss BERKELEY, Cal., Jan. 6. —Benny Friedman, former Michigan allAmerica quarter back and lately the coach and star of the New York Giants, professional football eleven, may be the next gridiron coach of the University-of California, it was intimated today.

Cruising in Sportland WITH EDDIE ASH

STEWART BOLEN has had two trials in the majors and he’s going back for a third as a member of the mound staff of the Philly Nationals. His record with Baltimore last year was good enough to make him the choice over Home Run Joe Hauser in the draft, and he believes he’ll stick up there this trip. Connie Mack once paid $35,000 for the southpaw, to the late Jack Dunn, and this time Burt Shotton’s Phils land him for $5,000. Bolen also was given the once over by the St. Louis Browns, who cast him adrift when he failed to win. He was on other pay rolls, too, namely Mobile, Tulsa and Buffalo. However, hi's 1930 record came to his rescue again and the left-hander turned in nineteen victories against nine defeats and he won eleven of his first twelve starts. non x Bolen injured his arm after establishing the consecutive victory streak and was out of action several weeks. Recovering, the Oriole flingcr returned to the firing line and finished out a fine season and helped his club close.in second place. When Ownie Bush was pilot of the Pittsburgh Pirates he made an effort to land Bolen, so it is evident the Phillies weren’t the only club with peepers watching the southpaw. He will be a welcome pastimer in Quakertown, where pitching has been far below' par. ,

tt ft tt JOHN M’GRAW has come out with a string of conversation boosting Ethan Allen, the lanky outfielder who used to be with the Reds. The Giant leader declares the young man has excellent prospects and believes personal coaching will make a big difference in his batting power. At any rate, McGraw is placing faith in the fojrmer Cincy collegian and will endeavor to build up the youth’s confidence this spring. a Allen was rushed into the majors from the college ranks and was short on league experience. A year or in the minors would have been to the youth’s liking, it is said, for he felt the need of seasoning. FAY MURRAY,, well-known in these parts, and part owner of the Minneapolis Millers, is reported dickering for the Nashville franchise in the Southern league with the idea in mind of establishing a Min-neapolis-Nashville hook-up. On the Nashville roster are Jim Poole, with fifty homers in 1930, and Jay Partridge with forty. The club is in financial distress. tt it Connie Mack was wrong in sizing up two American League clubs last spring. He thought well of the White Sox and saw little to rave over in the Washington Senators. Washington fooled him and the Sox fell below his expectations.. His own club won, however, and that's what they pay off on. tt a tt Wiley Moore, righthander, may fill the role of game saver for the tailend Red Sox this year. Lacking an iron man in 1930 for late inning

drew the dates of Sept. 7 to 12, the Hoosier state fair week. The Grand Circuit program will ►open at North Randall. Cleveland, June 29 to July 11.

WHEN Purdue’s speedy basket snipers open the defense of their Big Ten crown tonight against Michigan at Ann Arbor, Johnny Wooden, all-Ameri-can floor guard, will be a marked man for the Wolverine defense. Wooden’s brilliant dribbling and

relief, the Bcantown boys lost seventeen games in the seventh inning, six games in the eighth, eight in the ninth and thirteen extra inning struggles. With St. Paul last season, Moore won twenty-two tilts. tt tt tt During the 1930 campaign the Chicago Cubs offered $25,000 for Wiley and Brooklyn also made a bid that was rejected for Moore and outfielder Ben Paschal. Moore pitched 272 innings and fanned 101. Defeats against him were nine, runs 101, and earned run average per nine inning game, 4.07. KNUTE ROCKNE, “who has been in New York relaxing for several days, told a good story to Joe Williams to illustrate the futility ol the perennial cry about giving the game of football “back to the boys.” “When we organized golf at Notre Dame I decided to try an experiment—l decided to leave the game in the hands of the boys.'* said ''Rockne. “Pretty soon the howling started. The game got into the control of the sons of wealthy parents. Onr best golfers happened to have been graduated from the ranks of caddies. They couldn't get anywhere.

THE annual rumor that Everett Case will leave Frankfort for anew pasture, the current destination being Anderson, according to the gossips, is afloat again. And the reason Case is leaving this year, according to the rumors, is the graduation of Lawhead, Thompson, Stroup and Shaver, four men who have played under Casey for three years. That’s nothing—the Spradlings, Goods, Plunketts, Cummings, Twogoods and Boots also left the school, individually and collectively, but Case stays up around the top just the same. Case is to Frankfort’s Hog Dogs what sauerkraut is to the restaurant type of sizzling canines—all wrapped up in and a part of them. u tt Another of the old masters who is going to sten down this year, if you’ll listen to the wagging tongues, is Glenn Curtis of Martinsville.

scorer, had several good plays from which he frequently scored. There was one play frequently used, especially when Murphy had an advantage in height over his guard. Johnny wooden, all-America selection at guard last season, controlled the ball in front of the defense, then very deliberately he would attempt a long shot which purposely fell short of the basket and into Murphy’s hands for a tipin shot. Murphy’s break from the corner required good timing. This play was effective against most any defense and especially so against defenses without tall men. It is diagramed at top of chart, with W designating Wooden and M Murphy. Murphy controlling the ball on the foul line proved Purdue’s most valuable play on the championship team of last year. As Murphy received the ball on the foul mark he could turn and shoot over his guard or pass to the open men cutting for the basket. It is a favorite play in professional basketball, where it is called the pivot play. The lower diagram explains the works of the play. NEXT—Notre Dame offense.

The action will take place at the north side gym on Friday night, and Coach Peterman is keying his Blue Devils to desensationalize the Stonecutters, latest conquerors of Washington’s state champions. tt a tt On Saturday night. Mr. Tim Campbell, he of the small moustache and vast basketball knowledge, will send his five young men, perhaps six or seven, out on the east side pine strips to blast Newcastle. another of the current high-flyers. Newcastle has surprised everybody, perhaps even themselves, in the past few weeks by knocking off such big red apples as Muncie and Anderson.
