Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—The theotlcal, rather than the theoretical, side and the good points, rather than the real or fancied evils of football and college sports generally, were brought out here on Thursday by the National Collegiate A. A. If a keynote to the proceeding* was •ought. It came In the opening address of Dr Charles W. Kennedy of Princeton, president of the Association, when he said: "While critical self-scrutlnv is a virtue, and a necessary root of development and growth It Is a mistake to focus one's attention exclusively upon the defects or weaknesses which exist In all human constitutions. •'ln the province of amateur snort It is well to hold clearlv In view the unoutstloned and unauestlonable benefits which the plaver derives from the same, benefits both phvslcal and moral, a stimulus to the development of character and manhood which are reflected In later vears in every so-called contact.” . , For several vears the features of these conventions have been such things at Carnegie reports and addresses bv other Stern and in many cases biased critics. But this vear. for the first time In many annual meetings, no representative of the Carnegie Fooundatton was Invited to the rostrum. These who did appear seemed In agreement as to the essential good of the game •nd rather disturbed that its critics should have had so long a period without organised opposition. ~ . The British athletic scheme. vhlch served, or appeared to serve as the gauge with which Carnegie Foundation investigators operated in measuring their attack upon American college snorts, was scored early bv John L. Griffith, commissioner of the Western Conference. He presented statistics which confirmed the recent investigation of the Football Coaches *ssociatton committee into charges of •potball over-emphasis, showing there was lack Os substance to such charge. DR. THOMAS S. GATES, president of the University of Pennsylvania, and himself the author of a so-called reformation plan, advanced a practical rather than an idealistic view of the gate receipts question, which came before the public a year ago when Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia came out in favor of endowed athletics. "There has been a great deal of talk.” •aid Dr. Gates ‘'about the possibility of abolishing gate receipts.” ”So far as I know no Institution has taken thiss tep. On this point it seems to be we should be frank, honest and practical. “Gate receipts at most Institutions could not be abolished at this time. The larger instituions, in order o take this •tep. would have to have mllions added to their endowments to carry on large phvslcal education program." Dr. Kennedy In opening the convention, first touched upon the impending Olympic games and the part to be played In them by the N. C. A. A. and athletes who serve under its banner. His second topic was one affecting the administration of the N. C. A. A. he asked the convention to consider the suggestion of the appointment of a salaried executive •nd the establishment of a permanent headquarters. The matter of fatalities during the season lust ended brought from him the lollowing comments: ”We can have every confidence that the Jnembers of the rules committee have been giving careful consideration to the record of the season and to the assembling of dependable Information by Which to Judge it. "We. miv be sure that, under the conscientious leadership of E. K. Hall, the members of that committee will now. as always In the past, overlook no possible precaution which mav be taken to safeguard the Interests of those who play the j game.” In addition to pointing out the falacy i of judging American sports and institu- i tions by British standards. Commissioner ! Griffith, In his address said: "The ace of cvnicism in past. The ! cynics, the satirists and the critics have served a useful purpose. They have helped to prove that some of our castles were made of air—they have pricked some of our bubbles and the bubbles have burst. They have ridiculed our excesses and we •re now working as we did before the war. •Tn the main, however, the colleges throughout the last twenty-five years have builded wisely In matters athletic.” “A few of the colleges undoubtedly, have developed football to the detriment of the plav and educational features of the game. One after another, however, of such institutions are now working for a balanced program.”

PURDUE AND I. U. RENEW CAGE RIVALRY MONDAY
Close Tilt Predicted Boilermakers Hold Edge, but Dope Counts Little in Classic. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS The boys who make the odds on these basketball games and who pick the winners ahead of time are frowning today and wondering just how to dope the Purdue-Indiana court struggle which comes off Monday night at Lafayette. Purdue figures to win by ten to fifteen points. But when a Purdue team beats an Indiana team at basketball by ten to fifteen points, or vice versa, you can tell us about it. The Hoosier classic means that two basketball teams are going into a game where class and skill and basket sniping ability means only little. It is a game where fight and heart and courage mean the most. And they both have that. Purdue Has Class It is no cinch to beat a team that doesn’t want to be beaten. And since when have ftirdue and Indiana cherished thoughts of being beaten by each other. Purdue has the class, probably the class of the western conference. The Boilermakers will line up with Ray Eddy, the former Columbus ace, and Harry Kellar at forwards, big Charlie Stewart at center and the great Johnny Wooden at floor guard and the husky Ralph Parmenter at back guard. For Indiana, Pee-Wee Campbell and Ray Tucker, who once tossed ’em in for Logansport, will be at the forwards. Dickey will be the center. Sally Suddith will be at floor guard and Joe Zeller at back guard. Old Teammates Meet Man for man, Purdue outshines Indiana at almost every position, but there isn’t enough outshining to make the Lafayette team a cinch. Sally Suddith got his early training from the same man toho gave Johnny Wooden his start—Glen Curtis, the wizard of Martinsville. They know their floor guarding and they know their shooting. The Wooden-Suddith battle itself’ ought to be worth watching. So, here’s your warning. If you have any dope, toss it overboard. It’s Indiana-Purdue time. Them's fighting words in Indiana, mister.
Purvis’ Touchdown Gives Eastern Eleven 6-0 Victory Over West
BY ALANSON W. EDWARDS United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.—The palm went to the east today for its single touchdown victory over the west in a muddy battle of the allAmericans here New Year’s day. Eastern power and weight undermined western speed on the soggy, rain-soaked gridiron at Kezar stadium, where some 60,000 watched Jim Purvis of Purdue clinch the game, 6 to 0, with a touchdown in the opening period. With the lone score on the record, the game became a punting duel broken only by Clark Hinkle’s two desperate, but unavailing efforts to cross the western goal in the last quarter. The Bucknell star made some of the greatest line plunges of the game in that final rush.
Three Brave Diamond Pilots Climb On to Quaking Big League Thrones
BY WILLIAM BRAUCHER NBA Service Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan I.'—When it was announced that Lew Fonseca had accepted the job as manager of the Chicago White Sox, his pal, Tom Laird, sports editor of the San Francisco News, sent him appropriate condolences, concluding his message with these words; “ . . . and be sure to buy yourself a seismograph.’’ A seismograph is one of those things the scientists use to detect and record temblors and other mundane vibrations. The invention once was said to have originated in Mr. Laird’s home town, but this has been generally denied. The sinister meaning Laird meant to convey was that White Sox managers always must be packed and ready. Lena Blackburne or any of the other half dozen managers the Sox have had in the last few years could and would confirm the advice. a a a BUT Lew is not the only man to whom such a kindly warning
Two Race Pilots Hurt Seriously in Crashes
By United Press / OAKLAND. Cal., Jan. 2.—Two famous racing drivers, Ralph Hepbum of Los Angeles and Bryan Saulpaugh of Rock Island, 111., were in serious condition today from injuries received in accidents during the 100-mile New Year’s day automobile race here. Both drivers were traveling more than 100 miles an hour when their machines crashed. Hepburn received a fractured skull when a tire blowout sent his light racer spinning through a fence on the thirty-fourth lap. Other drivers in the race were signalled to slow down while Hepbum was being removed to a hospital. During this period a heavy rain began falling. When the flag to resume top speed was waved. Sualpaugh accelerated so quickly that his car skidded into the judges stand. The car ripped the supports from the stand, tumbling officials to the track and hurling Saulpaugh out of
Danville Five Drops First; Butler Winner
Playing without the services of Ray Miller, veteran forward, Butler’s Bulldogs romped over Montana State at the field house Friday night, 28 to 17. With Withrow and Proffitt banging the hoop to lead the attack, the Hinkle pastimers pulled into an early lead and the outcome never was in doubt. The Blue snipers held a 14-to-8 margin at half time, and increased the edge to 28 to 11. Coach Hinkle sent in a reserve quintet, and the Bobcats rallied for their last six points against the substitutes. It was the sixth triumph in seven starts for the Bulldogs, who will battle Central Normla’s brilliant quintet here next Friday night. Butler (28). Mon.

It was the third all-Eastern victory in the seventh meeting with all-Westerners, the west having won four of the previous games.' The team brought from the east by Andy Kerr of Colgate and Dick Hanley of Northwestern deserved to win, but rain prevented the west from making as brilliant showing as it might have. Bill Morton of Dartmouth, Gene McEver of Tennessee, Pete Somers of Minnesota, Reb Russell of Northwestern and Rus Rebholz of Wisconsin shared back field honors with Hinkle and Purvis. It was Morton’s winning exchange of punts that put the East in scoring position. Starting from the West’s 24-yard line, the East worked the ball to the
might be given. Take over in Brooklyn, for instance, or in Pittsburgh. Shouldn’t Max Carey of the Robinless Robins and George Gibson of the unpiratical Pirates also have the advantage of one of those mechanical ears-to-the-ground? The answer is yes, in any language. To put it another way, the jobs of managing the White Sox. Dodgers and Pirates are just like sitting on a throne which consists of a saddle fastened to the spine of a bucking bronco. You might stretch a point and call Lew, Max and George “The Three Horsemen of 1932.’’ Wars have a way of breaking out suddenly between the office and the bench in these three baseball plants. Sudden disturbances have unseated such good men as Kid Gleason. "Pants” Rowland, John Evers. Eddie Collins, Ray Schalk, Lena Blackburne, ponie Bush, Bill McKechnie, Jewel Ejns and Wilbert Robinson.

By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, 111., Jan. 2. Central Normal’s long victory string of twenty-four consecutive cage triumphs, covering a two-season stretch, was ended today. The Danville, Ind., snipers bowed to State Normal, 1931 Illinois collegiate champions, 36 to 33, here Friday night. A brilliant last half rally, led by Darling and Doc, gave the Illinois quintet the edge in the free-scoring tussle. Danville held a 14-to-13 margin at the half, and increased the advantage to 29 to 17 in the first seven minutes of the final period, but the Illinois quintet rallied and swept into the lead.

Merle Hufford, fleet back from Washington university, bolstered the western defense and his kicking took the losers out of many bad spots. But Hufford, Bud Toscani of St. Mary’s and Weldon Mason of Southern Methodist could get nowhere in the mud and the few passes they attempted were knocked down. The East tried two passes, both of which failed, making its nine first downs through the line. The West made only one first down and that on a penalty. One of its four tosses was intercepted.
O TR ANGEL Y, the three men named as victims for next season, have felt these shocks before and each time have come up whole. Fonseca has been given the gate here and there in his eleven-year baseball career. After a disturbance in 1920 in Frisco, he took up the mighty task of managing an outlaw club at Smithfield, Utah. Later on Lew attained the dignity of being let loose by Cincinnati, so he can stand almost anything, Carey, whose job will be to try to teach the Flatbush Balminess Boys that second base, when occupied, should not< be stolen more than three times in one inning, served the Pirates for fifteen years, after which he was handsomely rewarded by being sold to Brooklyn at the waiver price in 1926. He might drop a line to George Gibson and tell him all about that, too. Now all that Carey has to do is satisfy a Brooklyn clientele that through the years had come to look

Wave Outgains U. S. C. < but Drops Rose Tilt Tulane Turns In Sixteen First Downs to Trojans’ Seven, but Ernie Pinckert’s Great Play Gives Coast Eleven Victory and National Championship. BY GEORGE H. BEALE . United Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 2.—Southern California defeated Tulane, 21 to 12, at Rose Bowl in the annual Tournament of Roses intersectional game because it turned all its advantages to points. * Only three times did the Trojans find themselves in a position to score Friday and three times they scored. Each time the goal was kicked. Tulane outgained the westerners and outplayed them in many departments but it was unable consistently to turn its yardage into touch- < downs. This difference between the contesting teams gave Southern California an undisputed national title, kept its Rose Bowl record clear, raised the margin of western superiority in the annual New Year day clashes and permitted it to be the first coast team ever to turn back a southern eleven in a Tournament of Roses meeting.
Statistics show that Tulane made sixteen first downs while the Trojans made but seven and that the Green Wave gained almost twice as much yardage as Southern California. Tulane also showed about as much spirit as has been seen on the coast, and this turned the game into a thrilling battle for the record crowd of 84,000. Ernie Pinckert, who has made many all-America teams during the last two years and who has been called the greatest blocking back of all time by his coach. Howard Jones, won individual honors of the game. Two Southern Calfornia touchdowns came on slashing reverses that Saw Pinckert turn his own

Wililams. a graduate of Wisconsin and former pupil of Dr. Walter E. Meanwell, has been experimenting with new combinations in an effort to build up a strong team defensively as well as offensively. Intensive practice, with drills twice daily, was resumed last Monday after a week’s vacation.

Kotlow is another forward prospect but onlv five feet seven In height. Eshelman. who has assumed his place, is over six feet.

left end and cross the goal line, first on a 30-yard dash and later on a 23-yard run. j Twice pinckert came from behind jto drag down Harry <Wop> Glover I when Glover apparently was in the clear after long, zig-zag runs. Be- ! tween times he tackled mightily and led the Trojan interference. The first Trojan score came in the i second period to climax a sixty-five-yard drive. Gaius Shaver. Trojan all-America quarter back, finally ran around his left end twenty-two yards to the Tulane 6-yard line and from there Ray Sparling scored on the end around play that has been a most consistent gainer all season. Pinckert’s two touchdowns came in the third quarter and with three conversions by Johnny Baker put Southern California’s total at 21, where ie remained during the game. Glover Tulane Ace The same Glover who was brought down from behind by Pinkert was the outstanding Tulane back. His ; 38-yard run late in the third i quarter marked the way for Tuj lane’s first score. He also scored the second Tulane touchdown. Hecon- | tributed a second quarter dash of 158 yards that went for nothing when Tulane could not turn the advance to profit. On this first run he went over his left tackle and, almost without interference, dashed from his own five yard line to the Southern California 37 yard line. He was caught there only because he lost his stride and Pinckert was able to get him. The second time Glover got away it seemed certain he would make a touchdown but Pinckert got him from behind. This time, however, Glover had carried the ball to the Southern California 15 yard line. A Beautifully executed pass, Don Zimmerman to Vernon Haynes, permitted the latter to fall across the goal-line for Tulane’s initial score. Zimmerman's kick was blocked. Dalrymple Handicapped Close following of the ball by Jerry Dalrymple and a run by Glover gave Tulane its second touchdown in the final quarter. Mohler fumbled when tackled on his 35-yard line and Dalrymple recovered. Tulane then worked the ball to the 20-yard line, where an attempted pass by Zimmerman to Haynes was partly blocked. Dalrymple came from nowhere to catch the ball before it touched the ground. He carried it to the sixyard line. From there Glover fought his way over on a sweeping end run. A forward pass for the extra point was knocked down. Dairymple’s good work as a ball hawk was offset by the fact that both of Pickert’s dashes for touchdowns were right over his position Dalrymple was carried completely out of both plays. The same thing happened when Shaver made his twenty-two-yard run to put iho ball in position for Sparling’s score. I.odrigue Stops Trojans In justice to the player, it must be said that coach Bernie Bier* man declared after the game Dalrymple played with a badly injured knee. Haynes at left end played a fine game while Lodrigues appeared as good a center as seen here this season. Every time one of the Trojan power plays was stopped, Lodrigues seemed to be at the bottom of the pile. Southern California ends, Arbelbide and Sparling, and Hall at tackle, performed well. After the game coach Jones was given an automobile, one of the trophies that goes with the Erskine award for the national football title. Earlier the Trojans won the national title under the Dickinson system of rating which does not consider the post-season games.
