By Eddie Ash Year In Sports Makes Big Difference * • m Carl Hubbell, 1933 Hero, Is On Market
JN 1933 Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants was “the ’ pitcher. lie was “tops” and was the idol of his club, New York fandom and throughout the baseball world the name Kubbell was in the limelight through the regular season and the world series. Just a little more than a year ago. Now the “southpaw Matty” of 1933 is on the market. At the recent Louisville baseball convention Manager Bill Terry tried to trade Carl to Pittsburgh for Larry French and Freddie Lindstrom. The transaction fell through. Ihe ' fact that the proposed deal was given publicity placed Terry out on a limb and in a tough spot. He’s almost compelled to send llubbell elsewhere now. It'is said there were harsh words between manager and pitcher during the battle down the stretch this year after Hubbell complained of being tired. Terry’s answer to that was: “This is no time to get tired. You’ll pitch.” a a a a a a HUBBELL is frail of build and perhaps he really was all in. Anyway, he lost his effectiveness. Therefore, if the hurler felt like he was being over worked when nature rebelled he had a just grievance. We trust Carl’s aim regains its old strength in 1935 and that he will be seen in other pastures. If the Giants have lost confidence in him we feel sure the fans have not. His 1933 record entitles him U> better than the average treatment. a a a a a a DANIEL M. DANIEL of the New York World-Telegram picked two Hoosier gridders on his all-America first team, Duane Purvis, half back, Purdue, and Jack Robinson, center Notre Dame. Charles E. Parker, also of the World-Telegram, placed Robinson on his second team. Jack was the lone Hoosier state player honored by Parker. Frank Wallace, another World-Telegram football expert, named Robinson on his first team and also used Bill Shakespeare, Notre Dame, at half back in his first string lineup. a a a a a a THE wild world series of 1934, filled with a mixture of good and bad baseball, arguments, crowd unrest and new heroes, evidently had something to do with turning the football campaign into an orgy of surprises and sideshow features. In Texas, referees in two important games were slugged and at Tampa an official was rescued by the police. Larry Kelley of Yale introduced the Dizzy Dean brashness to college football, Senator Huey P. (Kingftsh) Long of Louisiana attached himself to the state grid team and crowded into the headlines, as a football fanatic, some game officials in the East charged they were black-balled by certain colleges because they made decisions as they saw the play rather than favor either eleven. a a a a a a AN odd item came out of Cambridge, Mass., the week after the ArmyHarvard game of Nov. 10. The caretaker of Harvard stadium said he painstakingly counted every empty bottle and flask left behind by the football fans, finding 1546 empties, 782 on the Harvard side and 764 on the Army side, hut none in the West Point Cadet corps section. The publicity director of St Mary’s of California eleven, wrote in advance that St. Mary's would defeat Nevada “anywhere from forty points up; write your own score ” And Nevada won, 9 to 7.

Football Franchise Costing $2500 Now Rated ‘Priceless’
BY LAWTON CARVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Dec. 4.—ln 1925 Tim Mara bought a professional football franchise for $2500. Times were pretty good then. He wouldn't sell now “for any price.’’
Surday his New York Giants, winners of the eastern half of the National Professional League race, meet the Chicago Bears, western half winners, and 60.000 or more persons will go to the Polo Grounds to sre the game. The gross take will b3 around SIOO,OOO. Says Colleges Not Hurt Mara does not subscribe to the opinion that professional football will put the colleges out of business. But he does believe that professional baseball will suffer within the next ten years from the inroads of professional football. “The public finally has come to realize that professional football is strictly on the level,” he said. “The public realizes that it must be on the level, or a franchise wouldn’t be worth a quarter. The result is a steady growth in crowds. For the same reason that college football is the oustanding amateur sport, professional football will be the outstanding professional sport, and if you don’t believe it, take a look at the game a few years from now.” Preparing for Big Game He slapped a rubber band around a roll of bills and rushed one of his office workers to the bank with a deposit that brought the total of yesterday's ticket sales for Sunday's game to SIB,OOO. He has nursed the Giants through the ailments of infancy and now’ that they have grown up he can’t quite turn them loose. The team that he will send out against the Bears Sunday lost the play-off last year after the lead had changed sides seven times. The final margin of victory was two points. The Giants have a 195pound back field and a team that averages 213 pounds over all. The Bears weigh 21(1 pounds over all. The game is likely to be one of the best of the season from a standpoint of sheer football, and all-Americas will be on parade all afternoon.

Butler Cagers Out to Uphold Steady March Twelve Straight Years of Success Under Hinkle Is Bulldog Record. When Butler University opens its basketball season against Earlham here Saturday night, the Bulldog squad will be protecting a record as representative of continued success as the school’s massive fteldhouse. Records show that the Bulldogs always have won more than half of their games during the twelve other years Tony Hinkle has been at the school, either as assistant coach or head coach, and never have ’os* more than seven encounters during a campaign. Last season they won 14 and dropped seven. Five Titles in Nine Years Butler gained distinction last season by winning its second consecutive Missouri Valley Conference title. During the 1926-27 season—the season Tony Hinkle was moved up to head coach —the North Side school began a three-year reign of the state collegiate hardwood, which was climaxed by national recognition in 1929, when the Bulldogs won 17 games in 19 starts. Now—faced by a “suicide” schedule which was arranged when Butler withdrew’ from Missouri Valley competition-Coach Hinkle is striving to develop a formidable combination for the Bulldogs’ 1934-35 campaign. Four members of last year’s varsity are almost sure .of regular positions again. They are Toy Jones, forward: Gene Demmary, center, and Scott Armstrong and Roscoe Batts, guards. The other forward position has not been filled. Sophs May Get Chance Earl Overman and Ralph Brafford are reserve forw'ards returning from last season. Other players fighting for positions on the varsity include Eddie O'Connor, Jim Wulle, Earl Gerkensmeyer, Don Miles, Eddie Barnhorst, Wayne Trueiock, Roger Hackman, Laurence Broderick, Elmer Gladden, Arthur Cosgrove, Dorrance Rogers and Robert Graves. The squad will be reduced to 15 men by time of the Earlham game. Due to inability of some of the reserves to hit their regular stride, Coach Hinkle has anounced he is considering keeping several sophomores on the squad. The others will be turned over to Assistant Coach Frank Baird for the remainder of the season. A squad of 46 freshmen has reported to Coach Frank Heddon. The squad has been divided into four sections for practice at different hours.

Keys Tech for Franks
wiggmF'FW' v m W '' * ' jMplP’ :■ '
Tim Campbell, coach at Technical High School here, is noted for his sphynx-like attitude while on the coaching bench, but underneath it all, he is a crafty basketball mentor. He relies upon his boys to play their own game while on the floor, and, as a result, never has to be reprimanded by the referees for “side-line coaching.” And Coach Campbell’s teams have gone to the finals of the state tournament. Last year Tech was runner-up to Logansport in the annual Hoosier cage classic. Tim’s only remark was, “There’ll be another year.” It is here. Tech is slated to open its North Central Conference competition at Frankfort, Friday night, playing the Hot Dogs.

Larrupin’ Lou Adds Another Title to List Yankee Swat King Captures American Loop Crown’for •Runs Batted In/ By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 4—Larrupin’ Lou Gehrig, iron man of the New York Yankees, has added the American League “runs batted in” title for 1934 to the list of his records. In driving 165 scores across the plate he led the league for the fifth time and tied Babe Ruth. Gehrig’s domination in smashing runs home can be seen in the gap of 23 runs between his 165 and the 142 compiled by Hal Trosky of Cleveland, who finished second in a race that wound up with first basemen in the first four spots. Next to Trosky came Henry Greenberg of Detroit with 139. followed by Jimmy Foxx of Philadelphia with 130. Foxx Is “Pass” Champ Official averages released today, supplementing others of yesterday establishing Gehrig as batting, home run and total base champion, showed that he was second only to Foxx in number of bases on balls issued to him. Foxx was passed 111 times, Gehrig 109, Ruth 103 and Buddy Myer of Washington, 102. No others topped the 100-mark. By adding the runs batted in record for the season to others anannounced yesterday—49 home runs, .363 in batting, 409 total bases—Gehrig left little for other swatsmiths in his league. Simmons Sets Record A1 Simmons, Chicago White Sox, managed to nudge his way into recognition again by batting in 104 runs, which gave him a stretch of 11 straight seasons above 100 for a league record. Harland Clift, young third baseman of the St. Louis Browns, was the strikeout king. He fanned 100 times. Piayers who batted in 100 or more runs: G BB HB RBI SO Gehrig.
