By Eddie Ash Major Scribes Speak Well of A. A. Plan a m m Hickey Invites Writers to Conference

comment is going the rounds of the big > leagues over the American Association innovation of inviting the baseball scribes of the midwest cities to attend a pow-wow in Chicago next week for a three-day stand while the major circuits are in session there. President Thomas J. Hickey has urged the A. A. writers to visit the Windy City at his expense and enter into discussions with the eight club owners on subjects vital to the existence and prosperity of the league. In other words, Prexy Hickey and his magnates are searching for ideas to put more fans in the ball parks during the season coming up. Many veteran big league scriveners believe it’s a wise move. Several of the A. A. writers have been looking down from press boxes far longer than some of the owners have been in the game. Prexy Hickey seems to have stolen a march on the majors by his invitation to newspapermen, because already certain big league executives are suggesting the American and National loops do the same thing. If it comes to pass that scribes of three leagues congregate at one convention, a lot of things may happen. The sports writers may succeed in selling the game back to the magnates. Babe Ruth will be unable to ballyhoo the pastime forever and forever. a a a a a a ONE of the prominent bit? league baseball writers, Daniel M. Daniel, of the New York World-Teiegram, touched on the American Association innovation the other day. He said, in part: In inviting newspaper men from the eight cities of their circuit to confer with them in Chicago this month, club owners of the American Association have made a move which might well be emulated by the major leagues. As the years roll along the gulf between the club owner and the baseball writer widens, and the writers too often are left wondering what the magnates are trying to do, and why they demonstrate such stubborn resistance to the march of progress. If the club owners of the major leagues call in the writers at the joint meeting in Chicago on Dec. 14—and we hear there is some such proposal—they will be told a lot of things that will make their faces red. Insofar as public relations and progressive administration are concerned, the big leagues are at least thirty years behind the times. The> might as well be back in the days of the horse and buggy. The average magnate creeps into a shell and is content to view the baseball world from his restricted viewpoint. How many of the magnates took the trouble to attend the world scries last October? How many major league managers and outstanding players took the trouble to show themselves in New York and Washington?” a a a a tt a FOOTBALL experts of the newspaper fraternity seldom are found among the front runners when it comes to naming the winners in advance, particularly the upsets, but nearly everybody will agree the writers usually turn in interesting accounts of the high spots of the grid battle when they are assigned to cover the job. They watch for “breaks” chiefly, if a game, at the outset, looks as though it is going to be close. Following are the “breaks” of the Notre Dame upset of Army, as one scribe followed them through: 1. Lukats’ perfect flat pass in the end zone is dropped by Brancheau. 2. Lukats’ fumble in Notre Dame’s territory is recovered by Army, and a fourth down Cadet pass puts West Point in position for Buckler to score. 3. Notre Dame pass deep in Irish territory is intercepted by Bucknam for Army, leading to second West Point touchdown. 4. Offside penalty against Irish aids Soldiers to vital first down. 5. Buckler’s second miss for goal after touchdown proves fatal. 6 Lukats’ beautiful spot kick puts Army on defensive as second half starts. 7. Poor spot kick and two Notre Dame offsides get Soldiers out of the hole. 8. Lukats’ kick from end zone sets Cadets back in their own territory. 9. Notre Dame partially blocks Army punt and recovers at midfield —the turning point of the game; beginning of Irish fifty-two-yard march for a touchdown. 10. Bonar successfully dropkicks what proves to be winning point. 11. Lukats’ magnificent seventy-yard spot kick forces Army to kick out from end zone. 12. Follows the blocked Army kick, recovered by ( Millner for Notre Dame's second touchdown. 13. Tobin, Notre Dame, intercepts Army’s last desperate pass and narrowly misses scoring another Irish touchdown. a a a a a a NOT all of the honors that went with the forecasting grid games of Dec. 2 belonged to The Times reader “experts” who picked better than seven winners out of the field of twelve. The front runners in the I Told You So League had their inning yesterday and their accomplishments were put in black and white. In one case, however, a little too much credit was handed one member of the Elegant Eights. Emil Butler, who was among several naming the upset of Army by Notre Dame, was credited with a "perfect” prediction on Southern California-Georgia. He forecast 30 to 0. Correct score was 31 to 0. Anyway, that was one whale of a prediction—only one point off on a lopsided score.

Athletic Brains, Aid or Hindrance? Take the Dumb Stars, for Example

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEWfcYORK. Dec. 6. —An interesting and possibly significant item in connection with the decision to invite the Columbia football team to compete in the Rose Bowl classic—as the Pasadena real estate enterprise is tenderly called—is that the invitation was based on superior scholastic rankings. Asa group the Columbia team stands higher in classroom work than any other Columbia team in history, and by a singular coincidence the team is one of the best, if not the best, Columbia has ever developed. While both factors, mental and mechanical, pfobably influenced the selection, the official announcement from the coast indicates quite definitely that the high brain voltage of the team was much the more important of the two. •‘ln naming Columbia over Michigan, Army. Nebraska and others,’ the announcement read, “due consideration was given the high scholastic requirement* of the university and the academic achievements of the men on the team.” I dSn't know what this makes the boys who play football at Michigan,

Army, Nebraska, etc., but the inference is hardly flattering. a a e TANARUS) my knowledge this is the first time a football team has ever been decided upon as a desirable opponent on the basis of intelligence. Heretofore the main requirements have been power, speed and skill. Perhaps this is prophetic of anew era in competitive sports, with the high forehead replacing the blacksmith's chest. Since this appears to be distinctly an innovation, even in football, it will be necessary to await developments. Also it is possible only to speculate as to how gray matter as opposed to red corpuscles would operate in other sports, if at all. The leading intellectual among major league ball players is Mr. Moe Berg, the Washington catcher. It so happened that the Washington team opposed the Giants in the last world series. But I doubt if the fact that Mr. Berg speaks seven languages, including the sign, had any bearing on the arrangement. The series just worked out that way, and even with his extraordinary gifts Mr. Berg was unable to talk the Washington club into the championship, despite favoring winds. v

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—1 hold no brief for Madison Square Garden, and haven’t, as my colleagues well know, since that day when James Joy Johnston so ruthlessly did away with the pressroom. It was there, upon dull afternoons, that one could saunter in, fill one’s pockets with a week’s supply of cigarets, get a nip of tea and bitters, and converse with the charming muggs and thugs who are the backbone of box-fighting. But no more. James Joy hung a padlock on the pressroom door, emptied the coffee urn out the window, pocketed the smokes, and, I suppose, drank the tea and bitters. And the little room which provided such a cozy salon where the hautmonde. ne plus ultra and nux

Rascher Celebrates Repeal by Peeling Himself Mat Win Over Frenchy Baffert

BY CARLOS LANE It was, as the saying goes, a stormy night upon the ocean, which is always a bad thing for the sailors, not to mention the passengers aboard. There were, also, a few land squalls that sank more than one earth-bound canoe as prohibition went the way of all flesh when Utah succored the twenty-first amendment at 4:31 central standard time yesterday afternoon. But it was a gala evening for Mr. Andy Rascher, the very up-and-coming Indiana representative in the heavyweight grappling society. Mr. Rascher anointed his Adonic brow with an important laurel last night as he measured Mr. A“f Baffert’s French-Canadian length twice on the canvas in the feature performance on the Hercules A. C. WTestling card at the Armory. It possibly is fortunate for Mr.

vomica of pugdom used to chatter light frivoloties anent socks on the noggin and punches in the puss, was given to the concessionaries for peanut storage. So you see, I have no love for the Garden, but I feel it my bounden duty today to put in a lick against the sports writers who are criticising the Garden for losing control of the heavyweight situation. Several of my fellow workers have expressed the opinion that Dempsey’s hold on the leading heavies is a sign of dumbness in the Garden administration, and that if Rickard were alive the Garden still would be tops in the fighting business. I’m not so sure. I wouldn’t be surprised that if Tex were here he'd take one look at the present crop of heavyweights, sigh a long sigh, and take to selling silk hosiery. Perhaps the Garden boys are smart in not fooling with the heavyweights right now, and concentrating on hockey. Dempsey, it was announced yesterday, has signed bridegroom Schmeline and Tommy Loughran for a bout in Atlantic City in January, and has a head full of schemes for King Levinsky and a host of others. But will Jack make any money? The best answer to that one is that he had a natural last summer in Baer and Schmeling and yet, even with the help of a press as friendly as a politician on the eve of election day, wound up making exactly nothing. Os course, there is the possibility that Jack and his associates are not interested in money, but are just promoting for the jolly fun it offers. The main objection I have to the Garden’s position is, that, with Dempsey controlling most of the heavyweight contenders, it may be forced to use Sharkey against Carnera again. And, personally, I could do without the Sharkey man for a long, long time. WIZARDS DROP GAME Shortridge All-Stars defeated the Wizard A. C. eleven. IS to 0. on a sloppy field.

merely mention that Mr. Hagen has won more national championships than any other American professional. Whether intelligence is an asset or a liability to a football player does not exactly post anew question. It nas long been argued by the coaches. Rockne always wanted smart guards and quick-witted quarter backs. Zuppke wants his guards to leave their noodles in the dressing room. “Thinking takes too much out of them,” he claims. a a a UNDER Haughton the quarter back was practically a swivelchair executive. His job was to do the thinking—the ten others did the work. Haughton used to instruct the Harvard scouts particularly to assay tne' mental reflexes of approaching opponents, and he was never very happy when he learned he was going up against a mentally sluggish team. It was' his theory that it was much more difficult to deceive a dumb team than a smart team His reasoning was that smart players were quicker to react to guile and fakery on plays and thus permit themselves to bs lured out of po-

Rascher that Mr. Baffert hails from Canada, where it has been permissible for some time to wheedle a quart from legitimate stock. If Mr. Baffert had been an American with one of those cast iron stomachs (de)generated by bath-tub gin and other questionable distillates, Mr. Rascher probably would have had a skull fracture this morning. It was Mr. Rascher’s headon contacts with Mr. Baffert's midriff that finally decided the match. For some twenty-three minutes of their exhibition, Mr. Rascher eluded the deadly key-locks that Mr. Baffert practices upon all and sundry opponents. Then one came along that he didn’t have the answer for, and his shoulders graced the mat. That was all of that, as far as Mr. Rascher was concerned. He used his head. Literally and figuratively. And in eleven minutes by the better grade watches around the ringside he sank his skull deeply

Four Tied in Billiard Play

State Colleges May Drop 5-Year Eligibility Rule

BY DICK MILLER In most instances it is, “the calm before the storm,” but with the affairs of the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference it usually runs, “the storm before the calm.” As the date of the annual meeting, Saturday morning, Dec. 9, in the Claypool hotel, approaches, plans for a stormy session begin to formulate among the athletic directors. Tins phase does not differ greatly from past years, but usually the college leaders who carry a disgruntled attitude always seem to fail to find a flocr champion, or hesitate to speak for themselves. It is not at all unlikely the 1933 meeting will revolve itself into the usual meeting of officers with a few of the flock looking on during the reading of the secretary’s report. It is recalled, however, that last year efforts were launched to have the obsolete rules and by-laws of the organization rewritten, re-codi-fied or something done to bring them up to 1933 standard of athletics and to meet present-day problems. It is our understanding a caucus meeting in the Claypool Friday night will be held for the purpose of approving or changing a set

sition. leaving openings for the actual blow. The less imaginative players, on the other hand, as Haughton figured it, blissfully ignored the decoys, stayed put, and more times than not. stopped the ball-carrier. Os course, Haughton may have been wTong. In rebuttal, Mr. Little presents his Columbia “Hiforrids, ’ who are to engage Stanford in the battle of brains on New Year's day. Mr. Little seems to have convincingly demonstrated that dumbness in football players may be important but not altogether necessary. BOOSTS CUP HOPES U. S. Has Chance to Regain Tennis Trophy. Prentice Says. By United Prcgg NEW YORK. Dec. 6.—Bemon S. Prentice, chairman of the American Davis cup committee, believes the United Stdtes has a fighting chance to regain the cup in 1934, despite gloomy prophecies in tennis circles. Prentice expresed optimism in a supplemental report to the cup committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, released today. He admitted that it will take great tennis to win. but “we certainly .have a look-in.”

enough into Mr. Baffert’s abdominal machinery that all was over but the grunting. Back in the ring after the rest period Rascher went headlong into his opponent again, and, eight minutes Later, the fans were looking for their coats and bottles. Cowboy McCarroll. who learned his wrestling in the steer-tossing badlands of Idaho, found that throwing Irish Pat O’Shocker was something more of a job than heaving the bull. •The ruddy Mick from Salt Lake City, in the evening’s other plain go, added to Utah’s new found prestige by clamping a headlock on McCarroll in seventeen minutes, and by repeating the act five minutes later to win the decision. In the first event on the program Tom (The Bad Wolf) ’Marvin and Babe Caddock of New York went twenty-five minutes until Marvin threw Caddock with a chinlock.

High School Gagers Put Through Routine Drills

Indianapolis high school basketeers w’ent through routine practice sessions this week in preparation for games between today and Sunday. Manual’s cagers will take on Acton in the Manual gym Wednesday afternoon and will play at Ben Dqvis Friday night. Coach Oral Bridgeford pointed out mistakes the boys made in the New Palestine game last week and sent them through a heavy scrimmage yesterday. Washington will face two foes this week, playing at Mooresville Friday and meeting Southport in the

of new rules as drafted by William A. Blanchard of De Pauw, state secretary. Two sore spots exist in the state organization, one the five-year rule and the other the handling of eligibility, or lack of it. In the days of depression the unjustness of the five-year rule reveals itself more than any one expected. It rules that an athlete who attends college for two years and then finds himself unable to continue for lack of funds, and drops out to work two years, finds himself unable to compete in athletics when he resumes his educational career because he originally entered school five years before. That something will be done about this rule is practically assured. Others states abolished it. Inasmuch as the life of athletics in Indiana colleges seems to hinge cn their ability to confine the major portion of their athletic contests to intra-state competition, some action seems necessary to combat the eligibility stymie. In drawing up their 1934 football schedules several schools have dropped “this and that team’’ from the program, inference seems to be the extent of the reason for- the action. Meetings of the Indiana intercollegiate conference come and go and nothing is ever said or done about the question.

Eastern Grid Coaches Offer to Help Little

Lou Welcomes Brain Trust to Whip Columbia Into Shape for Rose Bowl Game: Anderson Proffers Services to Lions’ Mentor.

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. s.—Coach Lou Little was busy today organizing a “brain trust,” or board of football strategy, to assist him in sharpening the Columbia Lion’s fangs for its tussle with Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Eastern football circles were taking the Pasadena tilt seriously, and already many of the section’s most brilliant gridiron tacticians had volunteered to help the popular Lou. Some coaches might have declined such offers, feeling that too many meisters might spoil the brew;

Saints Name Bob Coleman By Time* Special ST. PAUL, Dec. 6— Bob Coleman, last year pilot of the Beaumont Club of the Texas League, was today named manager of the St. Paul Saints for the 1934 season.

but not the shrewd Mr. Little. He / explained to the United Press, | "Why—any one of those fellows 1 might tip us off to something that would help to beat Stanford—or at least keep the score down.” The board of strategy already in- | eludes such notables as Chick Meej han of Manhattan; Jim Crowley of Fordham; Jock Sutherland of PittsI burgh; Hunk Anderson of Notre | Dame; Lud Wray, coach of Philaidelphia's professional team, and Bert Bell, former Pennsylvania coach. Others probably will be added soon. Seme of these grid mentors will lend a hand in putting the Lions through their paces at Baker field. Others will visit New York, sit in at a couple of practice sessions, try to pick flaws and offer suggestions. Some will be used as consulting engineers on matters of conditioning. Little is preparing for a football game. He’s facing a tough proposij iion, one that will require all his ingenuity to wriggle out of. So California fans can expect to see one of the slickest teams that ever visited the coast, despite its lack of man power. Columbia will take the field a decided underdog. Jack Doyle, Broadway betting commissioner, announced opening quotations as: 5-2 against Columbia, and 1-3 against Stanford. To make matters worse, Joe Ferrara. veteran tackle and outstanding lineman, has been declared ineligible. The co-captain elect failed in some of his mid-term examinations, and unless special tests can be arranged, he is not likely to get into the game. Joe Richavich. a reserve tackle in 1932, who was counted on to be a first-string man in 1933, has regained his standing after being on probation all season. He may get into the game if he rounds into shape. With Ferrara out. Richavich’s return would give Little four tackles. Little has had no chance to scout the Stanford team, but, he expects to get an idea of their plays from friends on the coast, newspaper descriptions of'games, etc. “I guess Tiny Thornhill is still using the Warner system at Stanford,” Little remarked. “But I’m not sure. In fact I don’t know a thing about that team —vet.”
