Some Joke By United pres* LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7.-A joke that “carried too far" blamed | today by Bill Hawkins, University of Southern California substitute center for the suspicion that he was a Notre Dame scout, and his "imprisonment” until after the game. Injured two weeks before the game, Hawkins was ‘‘kidded’’ about spying for Notre Dame while watching practice, he. said. An assistant roach took the joke seriously, and Hawkins volunteered to remain, in a cabin under the waten of private detectives to piake sure no information was passed to the South Bend team. An investigation proved to the satisfaction of Coach Howard Jones that the suspicions were unfair, and he made a public apology. The incident had been almost forgotten until uncovered by Los Angeles newspapers.

The Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees are expected to complete a player trade this week, and it looks as though Tony Lazzeri will, be a prominent figure if the transaction goes through. On the Sox side, the guess is that pitcher Bump Hadley, recently of Washington, may be sent on to New York. Anyway, the new Sox officials are ready to continue the business of changing their lineup. They made two trades last week, with Washington and Boston, and also purchased outfielder Harold Anderson from St. Paul. Other Deals Forecast New York scribes have a hunch there will be something doing between Yankees and Washington and Yankees and Browns. The New York foam makes an offer annually for pitcher George Blaeholder of the Mound City Americans. The Gotham writerr seem to think Tony Lazzeri wall go to Washington instead of the Sox. The Chicago sessions also may see the transfer of Hack Wilson of the Chicago Cubs. So far only small money has been offered for the pudgy fly chaser. Questions of salary reductions for players, change in the three-umpire system, possible abandonment of double-headers and radio’s value to baseball, confront the big league club owners. The National and American Leagues, will hold separate sessions in Chicago Tuesday and Wednesday, and will meet jointly on Thursday. Salary Cuts in Order Minor league officials meeting at West Baden, voted approval of setting maximum salary limits for players. Major club owners are not expected to adopt this move, but to favor reducing salaries as each club sees fit from Babe Ruth down to the newest “rookie.” Complaints, especially from National League clubs, have been made against the practice of using three umpires in a game and the magnates are expected tc consider seriously a change in this rule. Radio May Be Banned Radio also will be fully discussed. Whether to ask pay for broadcasts of games, t.o require sponsors not to use their names in connection with broadcasts, or even to ban such rights to radio ant", advertisers are involved. The practice of moving ahead Monday games to provide Sunday double-headers is looked upon with disfavor by many officials, and may be abandoned next season. „

Hinkle s prospects are the brightest since the national championship campaign of three years ago. In addition to the veteran quintet and reserves of last season, Hinkle has a wealth of promising sophomore material, and some of the recruits are giving the regular pastimers real battles for jobs. Lyle Withrow and Ray Miller at forwards, Searle Proffitt at center, and Howard Chadd and Marshall 1 Tackett at guard, probably will form the Bulldog starting lineup. Chickedantz, Haslett and Wolfe are reserves from the last campaign. In their second start of the season. the Blue performers will play Southern-California at the fieldhouse Tuesday, Dec. 15.

Settling Tie Score Battles by Judges Gains Following

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent ' NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—With decision in tie score games as based on the vote of judges proving successful in charity tournaments, many football followers today believed the plan ultimately may be adopted for all college games. The plan gained favor in the Big Ten tournament at Chicago Thanksgiving day and in the Yale bowl tourney Saturday. It is certain to receive further trial from the football rules committee. In every test to date the judges made their decisions without question or disagreement after totaling

right impossible for any one man to do more things than Hickman did against the New Yorkers. He made nine out of every ten Tennessee tackles. And the ones he didn't make he helped make. He ran interference like an army tank late for a date, and opened up holes as wide as from here to yonder for his back. In his spare time he knocked down passes, did a little kicking and served water and towels during ,time out.
