By Eddie Ash Florida Draws Bulk of .Major Nines m m m City Slickers Outsmart Native Sons

P LOR IDA receive the bulk of the major league baseball business next spring and it looks like a great training season in the “grapefruit league.” Eleven of sixteen big league clubs will pitch camps in the Sunshine state and the tourists will have no trouble finding entertainment. The New York Giants, world champions, picked off the choice spot, Miami Beach, and it will be up to Manager Bill Terry to keep his athletes under his thumb. The Cincy Reds were world champs once and selected swanky Miami for training the following spring and the boys went haywire and paid little attention to baseball, resulting in a long early season slump. St. Petersburg will have two clubs again in 1934, the New York Yankees and the Boston Braves. The Philadelphia Athletics will return to Ft. Myers, the Boston Red Sox to Sarasota, the St. Louis Cardinals to Bradenton, the Philadelphia Phillies to Winter Haven, the Detroit Tigers to Lakeland, the Cincy Reds to Tampa, the Brooklyn Dodgers to Orlando, and the St. Louis Browns to West Palm Beach. a a a a a a WASHINGTON will work out at Biloxi. Miss., and Cleveland at New Orleans. Three major outfits will hit the trail to California, Chicago Cubs to Catalina island, Chicago White Sox to Pasadena and Pittsburgh Pirates at Paso Robles. Several small-sized fortunes will be put into circulation before the 1934 big league curtain goes up. Spring training is all on a cash basis. Nothing on the cuff. The Tigers switched camps since 1933. The Detroit pastimers trained in the west last spring. The Giants were frightened by the California “shakes" of last spring and Manager Terry crossed that state off of his list and embarrassed the California boosters no end by choosing Florida instead. The Dodgers tried Miami in 1933, but the boys refused to behave and next spring will find them in the interior of the state at quiet Orlando, where they are sure to obey training rules. a a a a a a STANFORD UNIVERSITY doubtless is ready to admit that Columbia is the gem of two oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific. Hail Columbia is righto! The New York city slickers pulled the hidden ball trick on the Native Sons and waded through the mud for the lone touchdown of the Rose Bowl football classic yesterday. The new year started off with an upset on No. 1 day. It rained “cats and dogs" during the melee and the big city boys demonstrated they knew more about navigation. The Statue of Liberty vs. the Golden Gate—Liberty wins! There were a lot of Melting Pot boys from the city of Seven Million in that Columbia lineup and they refused to be awed by their heavy and swanky opponents. Most experts thought the struggle was destined to end in a scoreless tie, after they learned about the mud and the downpour, but coach Lou Little evidently keyed his Lions to grab the jump before the turf became churned. a a a a a a '''T'HE Lions hustled at the outset and early in the second quarter got A their break when they completed a long pass to the Stanford 17-yard line. This is where the city slickers pulled one out of the bag. Barabas took the ball on the pass from center, faked handing it to Brominski and faked again to Montgomery, who had been doing most of the Columbia ball toting. Montgomery ran to his right and Brominski plunged into the line. The Indians glued their eyes and mobilized their defense on Montgomery and his “interference." In the meantime Barabas ran to his left in the manner of a decoy, but he had the ball! He carried it in his left hand, low on his hip and partially behind him, shielding its view from the Stanford warriors. He moved with an easy stride and fooled the west coasters completely. The Indians took out after Montgomery on the other side and it was just a romp for Barabas to cut in sharply and cross the Stanford goal line. The Indians were caught flatfooted. Wilder kicked the extra point. a a a a a a lOU LITTLE. Lion's head coach, is entitled to Seat 1. Row 1. in the j Upsets of 1934. The Columbia gridders will receive their plaudits cn their return to New York. The welcome in store for them is expected to make Gotham a bedlam. And this is the team many experts derided when the Rose Bowl invitation was sent to the Lions, a team that had been knocked off by Princeton, 20 to 0. Princeton declined the invitation. and Nebraska, a’other popular favorite and powerful machine, was not Hail, Columbia! a a a a a a Prizefighters in Australia have a union. Recently a group of boxers went on strike and walked out on the promoter because he signed a mauler who was not a member. a a a a a a Wrestlers of twenty-five years ago were no sissies. It was just that long ago when Americus, Baltimore grappler, was escorted from a Rochester <N. Y.) arena’after he had picked up John Pareili, Italian grunter, and thrown him out of the ring, enraging the crowd. a a a a a a Connie Mack paid $150,600 for Lefty Grove and Mickey Cochrane nine years ago and won three championships and a couple of world series with them.

Young Bowlers Start New Year in Blazing Fashion

BY LEFTY LEE Jesse Prichett Jr. and Jack Hunt rolled into the lead during the opening day's play of the 430 scratch doubles sweepstakes at the Pritchett alleys and remained at the top of the heap with their count of 1.812 until Sunday afternon, when Brunot and Pritchett Sr. slipped by them by the narrowest of margins, one pin. This setback seemed to stir the younger member of the Pritchett family, so he hunted up Johnny Murphy, another youngster, and they proceeded to lock things up. Their gift of 122 pins, added to counts of 929. by Murphy, and 876 by Pritchett Jr., gave them a grand total of 1.927, an average of 482 pins p?r game over the four-game route. The balance of the field was left with the headache. Many trams ware pntered in the doubles sweepstakes meet and some wonderful bowling was on tap at all times for the benefit of the rail birds, but the class shown bv the youngsters had them all gasping for n:r Ncx' week-end the 200 scratch at the St. Philip A C. alleys and the 1.000 scratch team event at the Fountain Square alleys, will hold the attention of the fans and bowlers.

To date 3.611 leagues have enrolled under the banner of the American Bowling Congress and the season :s no more than well under way One of the greatest gams recorded was ai Milwaukee, forty-five leagues being enrolled :n 1932-33 against the present total of 141 leagues In Indianapolis the loops to take advantage of the benefits of organized bowling number eighty-two. four more than the total entered last year Detroit added nine leagues to bring its total up to 160 from 151 At Chicago the present figure of 432 leagues enrolled is fifteen under the figure for last year ’Cincinnati is another city to fall below its mark of last vear. dropping from 180 to 163 Cleveland, however, has been on the job and its figure of 153 for last year has jumped to 1.5 Buffalo always a strong citv for the organized game, has jumped from 107 leagues to 115.

Anderson Is Given Berth By United Press RALEIGH, N. C., Jan. 2.—Grid fortunes of North Carolina State '’ollege for the next three years will be in charge of Heartlv W. (Hunk) Anderson, formerly head coach of Notre Dame, his alma mater. Signing of Anderson w’as announced last night by President E. C. Brooks after a conference with Dr. Ray Shermon, director of athletics for the college. Anderson's salary was not announced. During the past season, State had one of the most unsuccessful campaigns in years, winning only one game. Asa result, the contract of John P. (Clipper) Smith, also of Notre Dame, was not renewed. Anderson fared almost as badly at Notre Dame, where the Irish this year lost five games, but closed out brilliantly against Army to win, 13 to 12. He will report here in time for spring practice.

Off the Backboard

KID 1934 gave Indiana basketball a kick in the pants during his first day here. For instance, your pinch-hitter had been informed from reliable sources that Cliff Wells’ Logansport Berries were spoken of in the better circles as one of the best, while Muncie’s Jolly Bearcats were not to be considered too seriously. And Newcastle—well, the Trojans, according to my informant, wouldn’t toss many flies in anybody's soup. And what happens? Muncie proceeds to bump off the Berries with much gusto, 18 to 15, while Newcastle comes along and forces the Bearcats to step high and wide to grab to 19-to-18 overtime decision —and all on the same day. This happened at Muncie yesterday, in the annual “big four" tournament.

To make matters more complicated, in the other pair of games, Newcastle found it most difficult to ‘dispose of Kokomo, 24 to 22, in a hectic struggle which required three extra sessions, while Logansport comes back to trounce the Wildcats, 30 to 17. And they wonder why basketball columnists go to hospitals? a a a Good old Gus H. Fan has some firstclass high-school basketball in store for him this week. Take a look: Friday Brazil at Richmond. Newcastle at Frankfort. Franklin at Shelbyville. Lafayette at Muncie. Seymour at Jeffersonville. Shortridge at Lebanon. Rushville at Greenfield. Peru at Huntington. Central lEvansvillei at Bedford.

Sixteen Purdue Cagers See Action as Arizona Tumbles

By Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Jan. 2.—Purdue scored another win in its preconference warm-up series here last night with an easy 34 to 23 victory over Arizona. Coach Ward Lambert used every one of the sixteen men on his squad. It was Purdue's fifth win in six starts. Second and third string players were used in the opening half, and Purdue held a 20 to 13 advantage, the regulars going in late in the second half, it was the second defeat in ten games for the Arizona boys and Jack Byrne, center,

It was the smartest team, in a class room and on the field, in Columbia history. Moreover, Coach Little is regarded as one of the na- | tion's smartest gridiron engineers, j Thus, it was the perfect victory for Columbia, an institution which is emphatic in placing education and 1 culture above athletics. ,

Mat Heavies Mix Tonight Three heavyweight wrestling bouts will be offered Indianapolis mat fans at the Armory tonight, and topping the all-star bill will be a return match between the Hoosier rivals, both former collegians, Andy Rascher of Indiana university and Lou Plummer of Notre Dame. In a previous clash, the young grapplers

went to a draw when the referee was nudged out of the ring and the athletic commission representative ruled the furious affair as even-up. Plummer has had more experience than Rascher, but the Indiana former all - round athlete has developed rapidly and knows how to use his power. Ji m McMillen, one of the country’s

best heavies, will perform in the semi-windup against Sol Slagel, a newcomer to Indianapolis. Slagel is another nationally-known mauler and last year disposed of Joe Savoldi in a feature bout in the east. Sol is said to follow the rough style of mat tactics. In the opener tonight, at 8:30, Dr. Karl Sarpolis, former Chicago university wrestling ace, will tackle Andy De Vito of New York. Sarpolis has done most of his wrestling in the east, around Philadelphia, and is rated among the leading future leading lights of the rough and tumble sport. The show at the Armory tonight will be staged by the Hercules A. C. Lloyd Carter is matchmaker.

VT/TTHOUT detracting from the ability of his players, New York experts already are laying down the carpet for Little to march into the coaching hall of fame along with other immortals like Rockne, Haughton, Warner and Jones. Little's generalship transformed the season into a glorious one when all seemed lost. The Lions suffered a 20-0 rout by Princeton in their third game. Then Little cracked the whip, made five first-string lineup changes, and polished the outfit into the smoothest working eleven in the east.

Battling Lions Upset Stanford in Rose Tilt Al Barbara, Cliff Montgomery and Red Matal Lead Courageous Eleven to 7-to-0 Triumph on Muddy Gridiron: Experts Are Stunned. BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA. Cal., Jan. 2 Columbia, showing a fighting, determined eleven that refused to be cowed by the Pacific Coast's best. Stanford, today held the second far east victory ever recorded over a western team in the historic Tournament of Roses football game. The eastern eleven scored in the second quarter on a 16-yard run by Al Barabas, kicked the point after goal and then settled down and defended its seven-point lead against every threat that Stanford offered. The game was played yesterday in a driving rain and on a sloppy field, and Columbia proved itself the master under such conditions. The last far east victory scored over a western team in the tournament went to Harvard when it defeated Oregon. 7 to 6, in 1920.

Columbia's win made the count to date eight wins for the far west, six for other sections of the country, and three ties. Chief credit for the victory’ belonged to Barabas. He not only scored the only touchdown of the game but he twice stopped Bobby Grayson, Stanford's backfield ace, when it appeared Grayson was off for the goal line. Stanford Outkicked Helping Barabas were Cliff Montgomery, captain and quarter back, who ran back punts and consistently outkicked Stanford’s toe experts, and Tony (Red) Matal, who played a great defensive game and whose catch of a pass from Montgomeryled to Columbia’s touchdown. The best man on the field offensively was Grayson, who tore off gains of more than twenty yards five times. On the other hand, Grayson was something of a goat. Once he fumbled on the Columbia oneyard line when a Stanford score seemed imminent. Columbia recovered his fumble. The statistics of the game gave Stanford sixteen first downs against the Lions’ five, and the Cardinals gained 334 yards to Columbia's 148. 40,000 Brave Rain Stanford’s only other defeat of the season was on a similar turf when it lost to Washington, 6 to 0, in the slop and rain. The rain reduced the crowd to a scant 40,000. Most critics agreed it was the most exciting game since Roy Riegels ran the wrong way to give Georgia Tech an 8 to 7 victory over his California team in 1929. Certainly the result was an upset, since Stanford entered the game a 2v 2 to 1, or 12-point, favorite to win.
