RECORD CROWD WATCHES U. S. C. BATTLE TULANE ELEVEN

Trojans Favorite National Title at Stake in Rose Bowl Tilt on Coast. BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA, Jan. 1.--Southern California, Coast Conference champions, and Tulane, Southern Conference champions, met here today to decide the national football titleholder. Their meeting, the fifteenth intercollegiate Tournament of Roses New Year’s day contest, was watched by a record crowd in Rose Bowl. Southern California was a heavy pre-game favorite despite Tulane’s impressive record of going through a hard eleven-game schedule without defeat. Because both teams have powerful offenses, fans expected scoring to be plentiful. Coaches of both teams pronounced their men in excellent condition with not a man ailing in either camp. Bierman Gloomy Howard Jones of the Trojans said he believed his men were in fine mental as well as physical condition and said he expected to win by a close score. Bernie Bierman of the Green Wave, customarily gloomy, said he held no hope of a victory but that his men were prepared to keep the score down. The outcome of the contest was waited with greater interest than usual because the national title is at stake. Tulane was the only major undefeated team in the country this year, while Southern California, after a loss to St. Mary’s in its opening game, swept the remainder of its schedule. The ticket sale was over 78,000, a record crowd. Most fans were stringing with Southern California. Betting favored the Trojans heavlily. The odds were 3 to 1, and points were offered at even money. Stars End Careers Tulane carried into the game the tradition that no southern team has been defeated in the Rose bowl game. Four southern teams have played the New Year’s classic. Alabama made three trips to beat Washington and Washington State and to tie Stanford. Georgia Tech beat California. Southen California has never lost or been tied in a tournament of roses contest. The Trojans have appeared twice, once to defeat Penn State and once to win from Pitt. The game marked the last collegiate appearance of many of the nation’s greatest players. Captain Jerry Dalrymple, all-America end; Vernon Haynes, John McCormick, Clagget Upton, Calvert Decoligny, Harry Glover and Lowell Dawson played their last for Tulane. Johnny Baker and Gaius Shaver, both of whom made the United Press first all-America; Captain Stanley Williamson, Ernie Pinckert, Tom Mallory, Jim Musick and Bob Hall were among the Trojans who made a final appearance.

--Stove League Chatter--BY EDDIE ASH

THE all-star big league team chosen by Babe Ruth in September and the ten-man squad selected by the baseball writers for Sporting News this week were similar with few exceptions. Ruth named Grove and Brandt as his pitchers and the writers named Grove and Earnshaw. Both awarded the catching crown to Cochrane. On the infield Ruth gave the call to Melillo at second base and the writers nominated Frisch. First base, third base and shortstop were the same on both teams. Gehrig, Traynor and Cronin. Ruth made himself ineligible on his own team and put Chuck Klein in right field, whereas the writers named the Babe for that position. Left field and center field were alike on both all-star squads, Simmons gaining the honors in left and Averill in center. It is believed the majority of fans would string with the scribes and pick Frisch over Melillo at second, but it is thought there would he more debate over Earnshaw and Brandt to team on the mound with Lefty Grove. Anyway you take it, both all-star lineups represent tremendous power. The popular first sacker of the Brooklyn Club, Del Bissonette, is using the offseason recovering from an operation on his throwing arm. His right wing is now strapped and the medicos have assured him he stands a bright chance of showing real control this year. Del has been guilty of many wild throws and seldom has been able to start and complete a double playon account of inability to control his throws. The fact that shortstop Glenn Wright's arm came back after an operation led Bissonette to undergo a similar type of surgery. Del fell below the .300 mark in batting last season and has a hunch he’ll have to pick up in fielding to stick in the majors. OFFICIALS of the New York Yankees are contemplating a salary-bonus arrangement with Babe Ruth to avoid paying him $80,000 in wages in one chunk. In other words, if the big fellow enjoys a banner 1932 season similar to last year he will draw down about the same amount of currency that his old contract called for. The Bambino has yet to consent to the new arrangements and is playing winter golf and is permitting Colonel Jake Ruppert to do the talking and worrying. Paul Dean, brother of Dizzy, won twelve games and lost three with the Springfield (Mo.) team last season and will receive another trial with the Colnmbus A. A. club this spring. The right hander is only 18 and has few words to say, brother Dizzy having taken a monopoly on the Dean family conversation. Young Paul looked good at times with Springfield and the Red Birds of the A. A. believe the young giant will make good on his second whirl in big minor ball. He has rifle speed but had no control last spring and was extremely erratic on fielding his position, especially on bunts. Wid Matthews, the former dashing middle gardener with Indianapolis, is going to have competition for the center field assignment at Reading of the International League this spring. The Keys have obtained Jim Horn, Des Moines fly chaser, who batted .323 for the Demons in 1931. His age is given as 26. The Western leaguer will have a battle on his hands to oust Matty, who goes best when pressed. Wid played in the Southern Association after leaving the Hoosiers and declared be would be back in class AA ball in short order. The little ball hawk made good on his prediction.

Bobcat Aces All Set

TWO of the outstanding pastimers with the Montana State quintet which tackles Butler at the fieldhouse tonight are Captain Ray Buzzetti, accurate-shooting forward, and Keith Ario, star guard.

TOLEDO baseball boosters suggest the formation of a fans’ association to buy the defunct Hen club and then lease it for operation. The boosters believe they can interest 5,000 fans willing to invest in $10 shares to retain the franchise under home ownership. Dick Meade, Toledo newspaperman, has been mentioned prominently in the plan as well as Roger Bresnahan and Harry Hinchman. Meade was Hen president for three years and proved a success. Bresnahan formerly owned and managed the team. Under the proposed arrangements Hinchman would be employed as pilot. Much depends on the opinion of the court when Judge Martin of Toledo passes a decision on the receivership problems Jan. 6.

The Risk Ice Cream team of Louisville will also roll here Sunday, meeting the Johnson Chevrolet team at the Hotel Antler drives in the final half of their home-and-home match. The 3,000 total this team rolled in the first half of the match gives them a lead of better than 100 pins.

Frooebel and Horace Mann high schools of Gary and others were placed on probation until March 1, 1932, for using nonapproved football officials. In the Garfield (Terre Haute) and Gerstmeyer (Terre Haute) football troubles, and the Garfield-Clinton football outbreak which caused the two schools to sever relations recently, the board requested more details and suggested Terre Haute school authorities bring court action against a certain citizen involved in the troubles. A proposed basketball tourney, including Central, South Side, North Side and Catholic high schools of Ft. Wayne, was considered a violation of the provision in the I. H. S. A.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Bobcats to Face Blue Rangy Montana State Five Butler Foe Here Tonight. Spurred by the loss to Loyola, Tuesday night, the first setback of the campaign, Butler’s Bulldogs will take on the Montana State Bobcats at the fieldhouse tonight. With a rangy squad of six-footers, the western snipers are expected to give the Hinkle pastimers a hard battle. The Bulldogs went through their final practice session at the fieldhouse Thursday, perfecting a defense to halt Ray Buzzetti and the other Bobcat sharpshooters. With the exception of Ray Miller, regular forward, and Gene Demmary, lanky sophomore reserve center, the Bulldogs are in good shape for the battle. Miller is handicapped by an injured ankle, but probably will start at forward with Withrow. Demmary probably will not be in uniform. Proffitt, center, and Chadd and Tackett guards, will complete the Blue starting lineup. HAWAII ELEVEN FAVORITE HONOLULU, T.

Retiring I. H. S. A. A. Chief Attacks Anti-Coach Plan

By United Press LEBANON, Ind., Jan. 1.--A protest against the proposal that high school basketball coaches refrain from counseling teams during games was registered here by Floyd McMurray as he retired today as president of the Indiana High School Athletic Association board of control. McMurray branded the plan as “educationally unsound and with no pedagogical background.” Coaches are leaders and teachers, he said, and, if not fit to direct team play, should be removed by school authorities. The proposal for coaches to withdraw from games was made recently by William C, Wirt, Gary schools superintendent, on the contention that if they took no active part in

fans who filled the stadium to overflowing. Weight advantages gave the easterners an edge in pre-game forecasts, but the traditional ability of western players to perform their best against heavy odds was not discounted.

contests, it would encourage initiative and resourcefulness among players. McMurray took the view that “greater initiative is required in the execution of momentary instructions than the mere execution of maneuvers worked in long periods of drill.” “Under the plan,” McMurray asserted, “there would be a tendency for fans to take charge of the game and hold high school boys responsible for the success or failure of the team, whereas, at present, the coach is responsible not only for the team, but moral leadership of the boys under his supervision.” McMurray also criticised the proposal to shift control of athletics from the I.

Irish Trip Wildcats Krause Leads Notre Dame to Second Win Over Northwestern. By Times Special EVANSTON, Ill., Jan. 1.--Big Ed (Moose) Krause, Notre Dame's sophomore girdiron sensation last fall, also proved his right to basketball stardom Thursday night when he led the Irish quintet to a 22 to 21 triumph over Northwestern here. It was the second straight triumph for the Hoosiers over the Big Ten title defenders this season, the first time the Irish have scored a double triumph over the Purple since 1927. More than 5,000 fans witnessed the annual New Year’s eve classic. Krause snagged four field goals and four free throws to pace Notre Dame scorers. His two foul tosses and long field goal in the last three minutes of play accounted for the winning points of the spectacular battle. Davis scored two field goals in the final rally. Joe Rieff, with nine points, and Brewer, starred for Northwestern, who trailed 10 to 8 at the half.

Gene McEver of Tennessee, the visiting team boasted power. Coaches Dick Hanley of Northwestern and Andy Kerr of Colgate hailed it as the finest squad brought from the east in years. Probably few teams could hold hopes against such stars unless they had the speed and passing ability of all-westerners like Francis Toscani of St. Mary's, Merle Hufford of Washington, Weldon Mason of Southern Methodist and Ishmael Pilkington of Tulsa. These triple-threat men were counted on by Coaches Dana X. Bible of Nebraska and Percy Locey of the Olympic Club to come through for the west, victors in four of six previous games. Some thirty-two teams were represented by the players, who annually are chosen for the intersectional game sponsored by San Francisco's Islam Shrine Temple for the benefit of the crippled children’s hospital.

Nc Changes in Grid Rules Suggested by Hall

By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 1.--Although football’s week of clinical discussion closed without a definite program for the elimination of gridiron fatalities, sport leaders left New York today convinced that the game is in good hands and on a “safe and sane” basis. The closing event of the fiveday powwow--the twenty-sixth annal N. C. A. A. convention--was featured by the report of E. K. Hall, chairman of the football rules committee. Chairman Hall said his committee was well satisfied with the rules as they are, but was willing to alter them if safety-first measures prove necessary. He spoke of the investigations now under way as a result of the more than forty deaths attributed to the game in 1931, and said these inquiries would guide the rules committee’s activities.

It will be Al's 166th game on the air. # # # After that Frankfort-Lebanon game, they've changed it from "Garrison finish to just plain "Garrott finish.” The big Hot Dog center, who is improving with each game, led Mr. Slim Bausman's boys on a rally that overcame a Lebanon lead in the fourth quarter and gave the Hot Dogs another victory over their old rivals. # # # Why play two games?
