By Eddie Ash Columbia Grid Hopes Rest on Surprises m m m East Has Won Five Rose Bowl Classics
'T'HE Rose Bowl football game, to be played at Pasadena, New Year’s day, probably will be the most unusual in the history of the classic—because both teams have been beaten! Heretofore teams playing in Rose contests have had spotless records as a general rule. But Stanford, western representative, has been defeated by Washington State. Columbia, bearing the east's colors, went down to defeat at the hands of Princeton. Despite these defeats and the reported inferiority of Columbia when compared to the strength of the mighty Stanford machine, the game next Monday offers prospects of being a tight struggle. Columbia, rated the underdog, can count on Coach Lou Little to spring some surprises on Coach Tiny Thornhill’s crew. If the surprises can be frequent enough, the story may be a lot different than the one the grid dopesters are telling now. a a a a a a FOOTBALL teams representing the west have won eight of the Rose Bowl games, the east five and there were three ties, only one of which was a scoreless a flair. In the sixteen games, the western teams rolled up 243 points to the east’s 142 points, while the east was handed four goose eggs and the west but one, the latter occurring in 1931 when Alabama defeated Washington State, 24 to 0. Only six western squads have played in the annual classic, while the east has been represented by twelve teams. For the west, Washington State, University of Washington and Oregon university have played twice, California and Stanford three times each, and the University of Southern California four times. The Trojans were the outstanding defenders of coast honors, winning all four starts. ana a a a FOR the east. Brown university, Pennsylvania, Harvard, Ohio State, Washington and Jefferson, Penn State, Navy, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech and Tulane each have played one New Year’s game in the Rose stadium. Alabama and Pittsburgh have represented the east three times each, Pitt dropping all three of its tilts, while Alabama won two and tied another. Oddly enough, two of the west’s highest scores over the sixteengame period were handed out by the Trojans against one rival, Pittsburgh. In 1930, the “Thundering Herd” defeated Pitt, 47 to 14, and on last New Year's day beat the same team, 35 to 0. Notre Dame’s 27 to 0 nod over Stanford in 1925, and Alabama’s 1931 defeat of Washington State were the best the east could do in rolling up touchdowns. a a a a a a THE Rose Bowl New Year’s football series started in 1916, though the idea was born in 1902 when Michigan was invited west to play Stanford. In 1918 and 1919, the intercollegiate series was interrupted by the war, but service teams filled the gap and furnished two thrilling games. In the first tilt, the U. S. Marine Corps from Mare Island, California, defeated a Camp Lewis aggregation, 19 to 7. In the 1919 game, a team from the Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, Illinois, defeated the Mare Island Marines, 14 to 0. a a a a a a PASADENA'S Rose Bowl originally was planned to be in the shape of a horseshoe, but has since been enlarged and revamped until it stands today as a perfect ellipse with a seating capacity of 85.511. The bowl is situated in a dry river canyon lying along the western limits of the city. More than 60,000 automobiles can be accommodated on land immediately surrounding the structure. a a a a a a FRANK SIGAFOOS was far ahead of his Tribe mates of 1933 in “runs batted in” for the third-place Indianapolis club. The Hoosier chief slugger walloped in 126 runs and second best among the Indians was Ernie Wingard with 84. Third was Glenn Chapman with 82. Dudley Lee drew the most bases on balls, 69, and second was Wingard with 45. Wingard struck out the most times, 71, and Chapman was next in the “breezing league” with 60 times retired on strikes. Lee was erased often on the third one, whiffing 52 times Layne “led” in being hit by the ball while batting, taking the pitch in the ribs six times. The list following contains names of the Indian players who batted in ten or more markets:
0 Farrell Is Post’s Guess By United Pros CINCINNATI. Dec. 28—The Cincinnati Post said today it had learned from a reliable source that Bob O’Farrell, veteran National League catcher, would manage the Cincinnati Reds in 1934. Larry MacPhail, vice-president and general manager of the Reds, refused to affirm or deny the report. “I won't comment on the matter one way or another,” MacPhail said. ‘‘O’Farrell is the property of the St. Louis Cardinals. That ties my hands." SCHMELING DELAYS RETURN By Times Special NEW York, Dec. 28. Max Schmeling, former heavyweight champion, delayed his return to the United States until mid January when Joe Jacobs, his manager, cabled him that no immediate matches were in sight. Jacobs said he hopes to match the German with the winner of the King LevinskyDon McCorkindale bout at Chicago tomorrow night.

Lions Show Best Form Columbia Romps Through Drill; Odds Go Up on Stanford. By United Press TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 28. —Word from Pasadena that odds had been lengthened on Stanford to trounce Columbia in their New York's day football battle came as goocj news today to Lou Little, coach of the Lion squad. With his players in good physical and mental condition, Littie is frankly hopeful that Stanford will take the field expecting the blue and white to be a pushover. Such opposition would be most likely to crumble before the thrusts of a fit Columbia machine, he believes. There were many others in the Columbia entourage who agreed with him after watching the Lions in their fiinal scrimmage session yesterday. For three hours the players worked through intermittent showers which added zest to their spirits. The net result was the best workout since the contingent left New York. By United Press PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 28—Assurance that Stanford will be manned at full strength tfhen it takes the field against Columbia here next Monday came from the Cardinal training camp today. Stanford ranks have been decimated this week by cripples and convalescents but the word was passed around today that all would be in uniform at game time.

Triple-threat half backs, blocking specialists, left and right-handed forward passers, punters who can lift the ball fifty yards and more consistently, sure-fire pass catchers and expert field goal kickers formed
Loafing Season Down Florida Way Starts With Gallopers
BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Fiends in human form are beginning to send postcards to friends in the snow-burdened metropolis from Florida attesting to their great personal comfort under the tropical palms and the general gaiety of the season thereabouts. A fine amount or progress has been made by men of science in eliminating various forms of mental disorders, but it is becoming increasingly plain that that curious malady which manifests itself in such greetings as “having swell time, wish you were here,” has Vet to be conquered. It is disagreeable enough to slosh through snow up to your withers without being reminded by some psychopathic case, masked as a practical joker, that there are other parts of the country where the sun is high, the sea is blue and everything is just too lovely for words. Anything less than the death sentence should be deemed inadequate for such an offense. \ a a a STILL, in the interest of truth, it becomes necessary to report that there is unusual activity in the sun lands of Florida and that a tourist crow'd of vast proportions has assembled in the Miamis and Palm Beach, particularly, to inaugurate the winter loafing season. The racing starts this week at Mr. Bill Dwyer’s tropical park oval and after a spell moves over to Mr. Joseph Widener's gaudier Hialeah plant, the two gentlemen having reached some sort of truce by which not only their hosses but they, themselves, wfill speak to each other in public. This may be interpreted as significant and encouraging to the muddled situation in which New York racing currently finds itself, since it is generally believed that a feud between Mr. Dwyer and Mr. Widener caused the death of the betting bill at the last session of the legislature. nan NOW that the two sportsmen apparently have reached an understanding with respect to their personal interests it may be assumed the political leaders will be instructed accordingly, and that these great public servants will be generous and noble enough to give the people what they want. The indications are that the Florida tracks will be generously patronized. For one thing, this will be the first time in a number of years that there will be no opposition from Cuba, the revolution having stopped the sport there. For another, repeal has brought the wine casks and the cocktail shakers out in the open. With legalized betting and legalized drinking the Florida resorts enter anew era of liberalism, and it

Fistic Warriors Give Fans Real Treat in Last Roundup
BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor The Washington A. C. made good on its promise to give the boxing fans of the city a red hot “last roundup of 1933” at Tomlinson hall last night and the five bouts staged were filled with action. In the two ten-round features no time was wasted and the boys supplied the ringsiders with a lot of glove throwing. Young Geno, Illinois featherweight champion, took down the verdict over Scotty Scotten, local pride, in ten hard stanzas of fisticuffs. In the other ten-rounder, a
the attacking arrays of the rival elevens. At Palo Alto, coaches Dick Hanley of Northwestern and Andy Kerr of Colgate whipped their eastern team of twenty-two selected stars into shape. At Berkley, home of the California Golden Bears, the twenty-two western players were assembled under coaches Percy Locey of Denver and Babe Hollingbery of Washington State. Betting commissioners made the western team a 10 to 8 favorite, but experts who saw the easterners in practice believed the teams were matched evenly.
should be interesting to study the effect. To be sure, a man always could make himself a bet in Florida and it did not take much ingenuity to rustle up a snifter, but nevertheless Cuba always provided a certain amount of opposition which appealed to the spendthrift trade. a a a A T various intervals, and from time to tune, Florida has been the most wide open - state :i the union, the degree of wide-openness being regulated, as in all such instances, by the tolerance, the business acumen and the scruples of the politicians under whose discriminating auspices the county sheriffs operated. Though betting is now a state law and liquor a federal law, I doubt that there ever will be as much betting and drinking in Florida as back in the pious days when it was practically a felony to do either under certain circumstances, and especially if the sheriff happened to be a very intolerant person. To a casual student of law and its application, the tolerance and intolerance of various sheriffs, seeming in some cases to be as variable as the winds that cane in from the gulf stream, presented a fascinating study that was both bewildering and astonishing to the legalistic mind. WILLARD FORFEITS BOND By United Press GLENDALE, Cal., Dec. 28.—A SIOO bond posted by Jess Willard pending appeal from a conviction on assault charges, was forfeited today after the former heavyweight boxing champion failed to return to court. Willard was convicted of beating Joe Legrego. truck driver, after their machines collided.
Lou Plummer Finally Agrees to Second Rascher Battle
The signing of Lou Plummer, | husky Baltimore grappler and former Notre Dame athlete, for a return bout with Andy Rascher, young Hoosier star, for the main go attraction on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card Tuesday night at the Armory, was announced today by matchmaker Lloyd Carter. The 215-pound Plummer • came to terms after two weeks of protesting the draw decision that was given when the two heavyweights staged a thrilling bout at the Armory, Dec. 19. Lou claims he was entitled to the decision. Although the Hercules A. C. matchmaker believes the feature tussle will draw the largest wrestling crowd of the indoor season,
rough affair, Meyer Grace, Philadelphia welter, proved the master of Jackie Purvis, Indianapolis. Meyer was in fine physical condition and his punches landed with telling effect. The eastern scrapper won with margin to spare, but the Hoosier kept battling and made a fight of it. Grace Keeps Alert Purvis appeared to tire at times and it was then that Grace peppered him. Jackie apparently was short of “wind” in the closing rounds of the battle. Young Geno and Scotty Scotten went ten swift sessions and the latter was bleeding freely in the closing cantos. The rivals stood toe to toe at times and swapped blows, but Geno was the better boxer and a left hook bothered Scotty. The visitor also was smart in the clinches. Scotten always has given the fans a run for their money and he was “in there” again last night trying for a knockout. He seldom gives ground and Young Geno was not very far out in front when the scrap ended. The Indianapolis feather scored with the harder punches and drew more applause than the winner at the finsh. It was an exciting clash, especially in the closing sessions as Scotten tried to overcome his opponent’s lead. Knockdowns Come Fast The best of the prelims was a six-rounder between Honeyboy Brown, Louisville, and Nate Goldberg, Indianapolis. It was a knockdown affair from start to finish, and Goldberg displayed great courage in sticking it out. He was sent to the canvas four times in the final round. In previous stanzas both lads were on the floor at different times as they uncorked their steam. Brown won by the old “experience route.” He has been in the pro ranks longer and wound up the night with a wide margin of points. Goldberg is only recently out of the amateur ranks. Kit Carson, Indianapolis Negro welterweight, had too many legs and arms for Cowboy Blackwood in the other six-rounder and won in easy fashion. Blackwood was short of boxing skill and speed, but made the action good by constant swinging. In the four-round opener Pat Lopez knew too much for Eddie Richardson and annexed the fight by heavy hitting. Richardson stood up under a heavy bombardment and weathered it out.
Old 77’ Grange Opens New Night Club in Chicago.

He weighs 208. # Sol Slagel, 208-pound Kansf n, is the same grappler who upse, Joe Savoldi in New York several months ago. He is heralded as a sensation in professional wrestling circles. He was a guard on the Kansas university football team in 1929, 1930 and 1931. McMillen, 222, is rated among the first five heavyweights in the-country.

Ohio State in Field ' for New Grid Mentor Several Prominent Coaches Sounded Out at Annual Convention by Buckeye School; Dana Bible Is Named New President of National Convention. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Inited Press Sports Writer CHICAGO. Dec. 28.—With football coaches studying ways and means to make their jobs more secure, a dozen or more colleges today scanned the field for new gridiron leaders. Ohio State was added to the list of schools seeking new coaches during the two-day American Association of Football Coaches convention which ended last night. An Ohio State official sounded out several coaches during the meeting to determine if they were available for consideration at the Big Ten schpol. Among those said to be under consideration at Ohio State are D. O. (Tuss) McLaughry, Brown; Don Peden, Ohio university: Red Blaik, end coach at West Point, and Gus Dorais, Detroit. Sam Willaman is the
present Buckeye coach. Among the other schools bidding for new. football coaches are Dartmouth, Texas, Auburn, North Carolina State, West Virginia, Wesleyan (Middletown, Conn.), Knox college, Duquesne, Carleton (Northfield, Minn.), and the University of North Carolina. Among the prominent coaches out of employment at present are Hunk Anderson, formerly of Notre Dame; Matty Bell, formerly of Texas A. & M.; Chuck Collins, formerly of the University of North Carolina: Harry Gamage, formerly of the University of Kentucky; Marchy Schwartz, formerly assistant at Notre Dame, and Clipper Smith, formerly of North Carolina State. Dorias Seeks Change Other coaches who are said to be considering changes are Gus Dorias, Detroit: Jack Chevigny, St. Edward’s (Texas); Glenn Thistlewaite, Carroll, and Pat Hanley, assistant at Northwestern. If the legislation started by the coaches at their convention goes through, it will be more difficult to fire a coach in the future. Dana X. Bible, Nebraska, new president of the Coaches’ Association, was empowered to appoint a committee to investigate through subcommittees of all cases of dismissal of its members unjustly when requested by the coach. It was recommended that full publicity be given these cases where it was found that there was unfair treatment of the coach. The first definite step toward suggested, changes in the football rules for next season was made when Bible appointed two committees. An advisory committee will be made up of Lou Little, Columbia; Noble Kizer, Purdue; W. A. Alexander, Georgia Tech, and O. E. (Babe) Hoilingberry, Washington State. The other comprised twenty-five college coaches and five high school and prep school coaches. Little was named chairman of this committee, which will meet in New York some time next month. 1935 Convention Set In addition to the new president, Bible, the other officers for 1934 are: Bernie Bierman, Minnesota, first vice-president; Eddie Casey, Harvard, second vice-president; D. O. (Tuss) McLaughry, Brown, third vice-president; W. H. Cowell, New Hampshire, secretary-treasurer, and board of trustees, Harry Kipke, Michigan; Harry Stuhldreher, Villanova; Lou Little, Columbia, and A. N. (Bo) McMillan, Kansas state. The 1935 convention will be held Dec. 27 and 28 in the same city selected by the National Collegiate Athletic Association for its meeting. The N. C. A. A. meets here tomorrow and Saturday and will select its site at that time.
Off the Backboard
“"DARDON me, may I cut in?” JL It’s a doctor, talking to your old friend Carlos Lane. Well, darned if he didn’t do just that. So today, Carlos and his appendix have severed athletic relations. They had a disagreement yesterday afternoon, so Carl’s appendix doesn’t live there anymore.
But, like an elephant, Carlos never forgets. He had promised to tell all the sundry who could scrape up 2 cents the winner of that TechShortridge romp Saturday night. So, while the surgeon was making the incision, Ole Backboard-was making the decision.
While he was under the magic spell of the ether, he must have played the whole game. And this morning, before the frost was off the window panes, Carlos called from the hospital and feebly informed his pinch-hitter that “I PICK TECH BY A SHADE.” tt tt a Twice during his four years of conducting. your current correspondent was forced to call for a substitute. And as he rested in peace and quiet, he wondered how the pinch hitter felt while pinch-hitting. a tt tt WELL, it’s no fun. For lo these many weeks, while yours truly has been keeping track of the Dillinger gang, the nation’s murders, repeal, etc., the great Hoosier basketball parade has been marching in review. tt a a It has been my misfortune to catch only fleeting glimpses of the procession. To know your basketball, it's necessary to follow it just as closely as the chaser does the Bourbon. tt n n But we'll get along for a few days while Carlos is recovering from the great divide. Maybe he won't agree with some of the things I say. so don't blame him. HURRY and get well, Carl, before your public remembers your Castoria and starts crying for you. And the gang at the office, including yours truly ,and that mysterious blond you've written so much about fsay, I've known you five years and never have seen her), all wish you a speedy recovery. Whew, that’s the first one. Hold your hats, children, here we go. VERN BOXELL. YANKEES.

BY LEFTY LEE The Fall City Beer team of the Indianapolis League, led by the veteran Charlie Cray, who counted 708 on games of 212, 219 and 277, defeated the Jones-Maley quintet three times last night in one of the season’s most thrilling V ig battles on local runways. Fall City v/on the first game, 1,034 to 1,209, followed this up with a 1,036 to win by a safe margin and then closed with a 1,098 to their opponents 1,075.

Fast Roller Go Promised The Richmond Roller Polo Club will come to Tomlinson hall Sunday afternoon for its second clash of the season with the Indians, and another big crowd is expected to be on hand, the first battle between these two old time rivals, a month ago, having been a thriller. In the initial tilt, the locals were trailing, 7 to 2, at the start of the final quarter, and many of the rooters were beginning to make for the exits. Then Ted Lewis, Butler and Sox Quigley seemed to reach the unanimous conclusion that “this thing has gone about far enough.” And they started a bombardment that netted seven goals in the last period. During the excitement, however, Richmond managed to slip in three more counters, just enough to win. Each team Sunday will present the same lineup that it did a month ago. Sunday will mark the opening of the regular schedule of the amateur league, with Rolles Printers meeting the Monroe Flyers at 1 p. m. and Stuck Coal taking on the Geckler Specials at 2. The pro contest will start at 3 p. m.
