By Edldie Ash Sox Criticised for Altering Ball Field man A1 Simmons Is IMaeed in Tough Spot

SHORTENING the foul lines at Comiskey park, home of the Chicago White Sox, has not met with the approval of many Windy City baseball fans and several major league scribes have criticised the move. The Sox park always has been pointed out as an ideal playing field, where a home run was a home run, and where the outfielders were compelled to demonstrate speed and fly catching skill in chasing long drives. The foul lines have been decreased in length by fifteen feet, left and right, and naturally the baseball sharps think the club officials deliberately reduced the distance to the walls to aid in the manufacture of four-base wallops. It was only by accident that newspapermen discovered the change, a park workman having “remarked to a friend who remarked to a friend” until this information reached news channels. The workman disclosed the facts by informing his neighbors he was occupied in digging up the home plate preparatory to pushing it out farther from the grandstand to enable the groundkeeper to build anew diamond. a a a a a a THE club officials finally admitted they were “pulling the walls closer to the home plate’’ to assist their star outfielder and slugger, A1 Simmons. It was said he had complained the fences were too far away for his shoulder power, and blamed the size of the park for a hitting slump this year. This explanation went over until Simmons was advised of it The high-priced pastimer saw himself being made a “goat’’ and he visited Chicago to deny the announcement of his bosses. However, A1 was hard put to advance a reason for his inability to smack home runs in Chicago like he used to lift 'cm over the fences at Philadelphia when he was wearing the colors of the Athletics. He drew down $33,000 with tiie Sox this year and failed to deliver up to expectations. Pressed for facts to explain his shortage of home runs in 1933. Simmons declined to admit he had lodged a complaint against the size of Comiskey park. Feeiing it was necessary to offer some defense, Simmons settled on the Lake Michigan wind, saying: “It blows in from left field so much my drives fall short of going over.” It was the best laugh of the early stove league season. a a a a a a FOOTBALL score forecasts on twelve of today's games, sent in by Times readers, were piled high in this office at the noon deadline. Efforts will be made to clear up the checking of the slips in order to publish the names of the high pickers Monday, but this is only a promise. It may require more time to double check in the search for Perfect Picker Pete. The fan experts made a big push this week and the smashing attack is expected to produce more than one perfect prognosticator. In last week’s selections several “actual” scores were overlooked, but as a whole, few complaints were registered. Amos N. Gerth, Columbus, who picked nine winners in sixteen tries, had two “actual” results among his selections. Ohio State-Illinois, 7 to 6, and Georgia-Georgia Tech, 7 to 6. Halford Brinley, Zionsville, who turned in eleven winners, also knocked two over right on the button, Nebraska-lowa, 7 to 6, and Stanford-Cali-fornia, 7 to 3. a a a b b b ONE football argument in the east threatens to continue forever, in season and out. In the close Navy-Princeton game this fall the count was 0 to 0 for three quarters. In the fourth period Princeton scored two touchdowns and it was one of the markers that started the endless controversy. On fourth down SpofTord of Princeton was stopped short of the Navy goal, but the ball squirted out of his grasp and over the last stripe, where John, Princeton guard, fell on it—a touchdown—when points were valuable. Fans and officials agreed it was a legal six points, but an unorthodox touchdown. However, others asserted that SpofTord, realizing he couldn’t make the distance, fumbled deliberately with an unobserved shove of the ball toward John. It was another incident of the game “that something should be done about.” b a a B B B NOT all of what goes in comes out at the big college football stadia. For instance, there's the caretaker of the stadium at the University of California, at Berkeley. He knows crowds and their “accessories.” Moreover, he has given feature writers anew slant on football crowd statistics. For instance, the California-Southern California battle this fall. He found 2.000 empties after the game, and he didn’t mean empty seats. He meant “dead soldiers,” or “mourners.” The St. Mary’s-Cali-fornia game left the caretaker 1.800 “killed in action." Now we wonder who takes care of the caretaker after he takes care of the glassware. B B B B B B 808 LASSITER, captain of the Yale grid team, is no believer in “soft soaping” His warriors were favorites to knock off Harvard last week and were upset, 19 to 6. It was a sound pasting. Old Yale grads and other Bulldog supporters rushed to the Yale dressing room after the game and endeavored to console Lassiter. “Don’t take it to heart, old boy, the breaks were against you. Yale played a great game.” And the Yale pilot is said to have replied: “Aw, we got the hell kicked out of us.” B B B B B B Jack Adams, manager of the Detroit Red Wings pro hockey team, was fined SIOO for “using acrimonious language” in an argument with referee Bill Stewart. It may have been “acrimonious” to the league officials, but the referee probably has a different word for it. B B B B B B The Notre Dame B eleven lost to St. Bonaventure on Turkey day. The Irish failed to score, suffering a shutout, 12 to 0. Well, I guess that calls for the anvil chorus to put the Ijee on the B coach. B B B B B B Somebody has an amusing way of describing 3.2 beer, referring to it as three-speck-two. B B B B B B News item from Glasgow: Whisky-laden liner, carrying 30,000 cases of Scotch, sailed for New York today. Now will you quit boasting about Indianapolis being the greatest inland city in the country? n xt a a a a It was the last whistle today for many star gridders and next it will be the professors’ turn to blow the whistle when classroom exams roll around, and some profs never heard of a bear story.

Love Tosses Arizona Foe Billy Love, popular lightweight grappler, took the first and third falls from Roy Welch, Tuscon. Ariz., to cop the main event on the weekly show at Tomlinson hall last night. Love flipped Welch to the canvas first in twenty-two minutes with an armlock, and Welch returned the compliment with a stepover toehold in nine minutes. Love took the deciding topple with a crotch and slam in four minutes. Chief Little Wolf. Canadian Indian. took the only fall from Speedy O'Neal in the semi-final, winning with a top body pin in thirty-four minutes. Joe Hollander downed Ed (Kid) Slaughter in sixteen minutes, and George Speece and Charlie Harbo went fifteen minutes to no fall.

Plans Bargain Mat Bill

\ BARGAIN bill wrestling program has been arranged by matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. and the show will be held at the Armory Tuesday night. He has scheduled a “double main go” and also an opening bout, with well-known heavyweights performing in each match. Pat OShocker. popular Irish giant, will tackle Frank Speers of Georgia in one of the top features. and in the other top attraction Andy Rascher, Hoosier favorite, will clash with A1 Baffert, French-Canadian star. Each of the features calls for the matmen to grapple over the two-falls-in-three route. In the lid lifter Tom (Bad Wolf) Marvin. Oklahoma Indian, will take on Babe Caddock. New York. The entire program promises to supply the usual "thrill a minute” action, the matchmaker states. Frank Speers is a former Georgia Tech football idol and uses the flying tackle chiefly, along with a mixture of rough “formations.” NEBRASKA WANTS GAME By Times Special LINCOLN. Neb.. Dec. 2.

Davidson, Newcomer, Produces While Veteran Anderson Fails

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK. Dec. 2.—Perhaps not wholly, but at least indirectly. the story of Notre Dame and Army—meeting today for the twentieth time —is a story of two coaches. Notre Dame is coached by Hunk Anderson. Army by Lieutenant Gar Davidson. Anderson was a great linesman under Knute Rockne. He roared over the gridiron in the George Gipp era. He was conspicuous among the All-America nominations of his time. Under Rockne at South Bend Anderson became his first assistant. There were no secrets between the two. If it were possible for a prolessor to transmit his magic to a

Upsets May Lurk in Last Part of Gridiron Parade / Notre Dame Battles Army, Yale Will Try to Stop Prmceton, Georgia Invades Southern California in Big Games on Today's Program. BY CARLOS LANE The 1933 football season is almost a memory of colorful crowds and marching bands, of the clash of padded figures on striped turf, and of several notable surprises in all sections of its parade into history. A baker's dozen of games this afternoon, and a few tilts a week from today will sign off the procession for another year. It may not pass without some rousing thrills. Today particularly there are opportunities for some queer pranks by whatever impious lackey of fortune controls the trend of football battles. Perhaps the best prospect of a stirring upset is in Yankee stadium at New York, where the unbeaten West Point Cadets meet a battered Notre Dame eleven that has weathered only two of its eight games successfully.

The Irish, bewailing an injury list they say will rob them of the services of Don Elser, Hugh DeVore and Kitty Gorman, are the underdogs in the battle. But the ArmyNotre Dame series, dating from 1913, is marked in several spots with incidents in which the favored team went down before an allegedly inferior foe. Yale May Upset Tigers Another fair chance for the football dope bucket to go tumbling its contents all over the sports pages will be in the Yale bowl where an unimpressive Blue eleven will face the undefeated Princeton Tigers in a renewal of an historic grid rivalry. The sidelines prophets who have forecast a stumble for the Tigers In New Haven have based their seeming heresy on allegations that Princeton has played more or less in the “minor leagues” this fall, meeting tough opponents only in Navy and Columbia. Duke Faces Georgia Tech However, inasmuch as Yale has dropped games to Army, Harvard and Georgia, the Blue is figured generally as only a mediocre team. The art of comparing scores leaves any attempt at a logical forecast of the result far up in the foliage. Princeton trounced Brown, for instance, 33 to 0, while Yale was able to lick the Iron Men only 14 to 6.1 On the other hand, the Tigers defeated Washington and Lee 6 to 0, while Yale piled up a 14-to-0 count on the Presidents. Probably Princeton’s greatest show of power was a 20-to-0 win over Columbia. It is more than slightly possible that Duke’s unsmeared record may be sullied by the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech, as the southern foes meet in Atlanta. Duke is favored, but the Engineers are pretty tough. Georgia Meets Trojans Harry Mehre’s Georgians are invading Los Angeles to tackle the Southern California Trojans in what appears to be another victory for Jones, Warburton and Company, but even this isn’t a sure thing. Auburn today meets South Caroline and although the two teams tied last year, Auburn is favored to win. Maryland visits Florida in Tampa and the ’Gators are doped to take the northerners. Tulane and Louisiana tangle in New Orleans in what looks like Tulane’s game, although the Louisianans knocked the Green Wave over last fall. In the east there is also the George Washington-Kansas game at Washington, D. C., and the Holy Cross-Boston college tilt in Boston. In the southwest, Baylor and Rice battle at Waco, and Texas Christian and Southern Methodist renew an old fight at Ft. Worth in games that should be fairly even. Mississippi and Mississippi State will mix on the gridiron at Oxford, , Miss., in another one that should be fairly close.

the material. Out at South Bend the picture was different. Hunk Anderson had finally got his feet on the ground as the head coach. The season has now reached its final stage. What do the records show? Going into the game today, Army has yet to be beaten or tied. Among the Army victories was a decisive win over what has later proved to be a very formidable Illinois team, and shall I bore you by mentioning again that Illinois is a member of the Big Ten, where, I believe, the best football of the year was played? And now take a look at the Notre Dame record. Five defeats and one tie. What is the answer? I wouldn’t know. But it seems to me that Hunk Anderson must carry the bur-

lieutenant is a better coach by accident than Anderson is by intention. And yet this may not be the truth at all. Anderson could not : possibly have occupied such a prominent place in Rockne's personal scheme without being a really great football man. The charitable point of view is that everything has worked out all right for the lieutenant and everything has worked out all wrong for Anderson. I have a certain amount of sympathy for Anderson because I know he wants to make coaching his profession, and I question very much that the lieutenant does. It is possible for a man to become a national figure as a coach at South Bend. Witness Rockne. It is impossible to do the same thing at West Point.

Fehr and Johnson Hit Over 700 Mark for Barbasols

BY LEFTY LEE Johnny Fehr and Don Johnson provided all the pins needed for the Barbasol team to sweep its series with the Marott squad during the City League contests at the Hotel Antler alleys last night, Fehr rolling 713 on games of 230, 225 and 258 as Johnson counted 706 with games of 213, 234 and 259. Larry Fox also went over the line with a 610, while Jimmy Hurt rolled 614 for the losers. Eddie Striebeck made it 1.460 for his six games this week, when he added 667 to that record 793 to lead the Jones-Maley quintet to a triple win over Hoosier Coffee. This total is a fraction over 243 pins per game average. Jess Pritchett had his usual good count to help, his sheet showing 626. Clarence Mack rolled a 638 and his Fall City Beer team won all three games from Indiana Wheel and Rim despite a 653 by Billy Burnett. The final contest resulted in an odd game win for Elk Boosters from Hotel Antlers, Fitzel leading the winners with 637, as Dawson scored 602 for the Antler team. The Berghoff pastimers of the Washington League received the surprise of the season when the Kaser Tire Service trounced them three times Earl Bright and Frank Black pacing the winners with totals of 645 and 607. The second place Coca Cola quintet gained three full games on the leading Berghoff bovs. by wdnning all of their games from the Hoosier Optical. Newman Candy had Werner and Phillips scoring 657 and 607 to roll a three-game total of 2,967 and win all three from the Fall City Lager team Dankert tried hard to put his club over with a 640 series. Jess Hall and Bill Bowes produced 622 and 603 for Pharis Tire and they won the entire set from Mausner Beer, who had Hendrixson readings 611, Schmitt Insurance folded up after winning the first game from Schlitz and the Beer team walked off with the rubber with the small total of 2,664. Four teams of women bowlers and six men teams representing the Mutual United Insurance Company rolled on the Illinois alleys yesterday afternoon. A bowling league among the employes of the different factories, offices and plants seems to be the popular method of recreation now and the sponsors are finding that it pays to get the workers, together for an afternoon or evening of good fellowship. Dr. Kirk did not lead the league, but he rolled the high single game of 235 and registered his first 600 total, during the St. Joan of Arc play on the Uptown alleys.
