By Eddie Ash N. Y. SCRIBES ATTACK NET RULES a m m SUGGEST UNIFORM BASKET CODE

A FTER several days of wrestling with the subject of basketball rules interpretation following the wild and rough Kentucky-N. Y. U. came in Mad <son Square Garden last Saturday night, New York sports writers concluded that it was the sectional difference in the interpretation of the net code that caused Kentucky to feel it had been a “victim." College basketball only recently has become “big time" In New York end tv o intera ctional games—Notre Dame vs. N. Y. U. and Kentucky vs. v. U have upset the sports goers of the city on account of the fact that the\ ,-cns‘d a variance in the understanding of the rules on the part of the opposing teams and officials. In the New Yor!c World-Telegram Tom Reilly commented as follows: “Basketball remains the most controversial of sports. When a game is clo-e the offr ials hold the bag. The only answer is that if this sport is to receive national attention on Madison Square Garden’s ‘big time’ wheel, it would be well for its legislators ‘o insure a uniform interpretation of its rules in various sections of the country.’’

The Sew York Angle REILLY went on to say: “Looking at the Kentucky-N. Y. U. game of last Saturday night, from the way the game is played in the South, Kentucky was robbed, but viewing it from the New York angle there was no such banditry and everything was according to Hoyle. “It is aln:Os f impossible to side either way in an intersectional basketball game where a rule violation decides the issue. The teams are not at fault. Neither are the officials. The climax that proved so disappointing to the great crowd Saturday must be laid directly at the door of the men in charge of basketball rules interpretation. “Obviously, the sport has not yet reached a big time basis when teams from different sectors are taught to play almost local rules. If the game wants to b" permanently national it should drop its local angles “In the dressing room following the game Coach Adolph Rupp of Kentucky was in what all followers of Blue Grass basketball would call a righteous rage. “Howard Cann. N. Y. U coach entered, shook hands and said, a bit embarrassed. ‘Adolph. I have nothing to do with selecting the officials and I hated to see it end that way. N. Y. U. nosed out Kentucky in the tilt. 23-22. a a a 34 Years on Alleys THIRTY-FOUR years ago, when the Westmghouse Tenpin League was organized in Pittsburgh, a quintet of young fellows started knocking down the maples together. Today the five men still are members of the league, all being more than 60 years of age and sporting healthy averages. Oldest of the five is John Ritter.j 69. who has an average of 154. Next j in line is Bill Siemon. w ho is 68 and I sports an average of 158. Third is George Ritter. 66, brother of John i who rolls a snappy 154. FollowingGeorge is Andrew Rolfe, 61, rolling j 168, and winding up the list is the “baby," L. E. Schumacher, who is j right at the 60th milestone, and who j rolls a 184 average. j Combined age of the group totals. 324 vears. and their combined average for the first half of the present kegling season is 162. a a tt CONNIE MACK is going to have a lot of help silencing home run hitters’ big bats this year. A tall iron wall, built on top of the original rieht-field fence at Shibe Park. Philadelphia, will hamper homer hitters this year to a great extent. The fence also serves the purpose of outlawing stands built on roof tops across the street from the ball park. a a a He's Three-Way John PECULIAR names continue to break into baseball. Dutch Zwilling, manager* of the Kansas City Blues, has picked up a your.g outfielder from the Western League named Breese. Just A. Breese, eh, Dutch? A New York Yankee scout, combing the brush, stopped off in Lafayette. La., last fall and saw a likely looking pitcher playing semi-pro ball. “What’s your name?” the scout queried. “John.” was the reply. “Your last name?” Again. “John” was the reply. “Where do you live?" And it came again. “John street.” So Johnny John of John street was signed and was turned over to Wheeling, a Yankee farm.

Negro Basket Stars Defeat Kautsky Club Renaissance Team Displays Dazzling Skill in Taking 47-to-34 Victory. The Renaissance team, a giant Negro basketball club from New York and claimants of the world championship, ran rough shod over the local Kautsky A. C.’s last night before nearly 7000 fans in the Butler fieldhouse to win, 47 to 34. It apparently was just another game for the Renaissance quintet, which has been intact since 1925 and which in that time has won more than 970 encounters while losing only an approximate 165. The club sometimes plays two games a day while on the road. Kautskys Take Early Lead • The Kautskys were away to a 7-1 lead, but the Negro “wonder five” caught them at 8-all. From then on it was an exhibition of speed, lightning passes and trickery such as seldom is seen in ordinary hardwood games. The visitors w r ound up ,the tilt with an assortment of float and spot passes easier to follow, but just as extraordinary and effective. George Chestnut, Kautsky center, started the scoring when he leaped high in the air and tipped a pass neatly through the basket before touching the floor. Johnny Wooden sank a free throw to offset the one made by Holt of the Rennaisance, and Ginger Reeves, former Evansville College star who played a bangup game all evening, hit from under the basket. It looked like a big evening for the Kautskys when Perigo made it 7-1 with a fielder. Visitors Hit Stride Then the Renaissance five suddenly hit its stride and it was like demons charging down the floor. Wee Willie Smith, the towering center of the Negroes, dropped a couple in from near the basket, Hall took one under and Smith another as the quarter ended with the Kautskys trailing, 14 to 8. Ginger Reeves and Cat Wooden, who went in for Johnny Wooden when the latter hurt his leg, managed to snag field goals for the locals during the second quarter, but every member of the Negro five found the basket at least once during the period and new Renaissance players were sent in before the half, which ended 24 to 13, visitors. Wooden Pulls Fast One The Kautskys tightened during the third quarter and with Reeves finding the basket twice from the field and. twice from the foul line to add to a long shot by Johnny Wooden, who went back into the game, the locals cut the margin to 34-25. The remainder of the game brought no danger to the Renaissance players, who concentrated on keeping the ball aw r ay from the locals and on fancy passing. Johnny Wooden broke up the passing tactics once by snatching the ball and dribbling the length of the floor for a basket. The visitors refused to change their tactics, however.

C. “California style” fistic card, it was announced today by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter. The next pro mitt program will be held Friday night, Jan. 18, at the Armory. No show is scheduled for tomorrow night on account of the amateur mitt tourney of the South Side Turners. If a suitable opponent can be obtained for Lee, the scrap will be scheduled for at least six rounds and possibly eight, Carter reports. The Jan. 18 date was offered Moon 1 Mullins, Vincennes boxer, but the j southern Indiana mauler was un- | able to meet Lee on this date. Greyhounds Drill for Sycamore Tilt The Indiana Central College basketball team was to conclude heavy training today for the home-coming basketball encounter with Indiana State at University Heights gym ! Saturday night. The Terre Haute quintet, only un--1 defeated college team in the state, will pit John Miklozek, veteran center, against Dave De Jernett, Indiana Central's Negro pivot star.

Ruth Expected to Play With Yankees Again Mack Blasts Reports Bam Might Pilot Athletics; Combs Recovers. BY LAWTON CARVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Jan. 10.—Babe Ruth, recently nominated manager of the Philadelphia Athletics by well-wish-ers, can't have the job for at least eight years, says Connie Mack, so the Babe probably will do the best he can for another season in the Yankee outfield. Connie Mack explains that he will continue wig-wagging signals with his scorecard from the dugout until he is 80, which will take him into the 1942 season. Cleveland, Boston and other clubs raid to have been eager to give the Babe a place as manager, now that he has neared the finish as a player, insist there is nothing to the rumors. Babe to Arrive Home Feb. 23 Thus the celebrated tourist, who will arrive in New York Feb. 23 from a baseball pilgrimage through the Orient, faces another campaign out among the daisies in heat of the afternoon sun, and at the plate, also a hot spot when you're 41. Connie Mack, preceding the Babe into the East from the baseball tour, told the United Press that he couldn't talk about taking on Ruth anyway, as long as the Yankees own the slugger, even if he didn't intend to manage until he was 80. That seems to put the Babe back in left field for the Yankees, by the side of Earl Combs, who says he will be back in center. Scout Says Combs Well Johnny Nee, Yankee scout, who has spent seveial weeks visiting players who were ailing last season, reported to the club that Combs apparently is completely recovered from the Smash-up with a concrete wall at St. Louis last mid-summer. For two months he remained in a hospital, and for two more months he convalesced at his Richmond (Ky.) home. “But now,” said Nee, “the Kentucky colonel looks as good as oew. He will report to Dr. Robert F. Hyland, physician for the St. Louis clubs, for a final inspection and join the Yankee squad at St. Petersburg for spring training.” Max Meets Madden in 4-Round Ring Go By United Press BOSTON, Jan. 10.—Max Baer meets Dick Madden, local heavyweight, in a four-round exhibition here tonight. While it was expected the champion will open up in flashes, many feel that Baer will carry his lessrugged opponent along. Three 10-round bouts, and a sixround affair between Buddy Baer, Max's brother, and Babe Hunt of Oklahoma, will support the exhibition. BISON'S DEFEAT WINDSOR Bp United Press WINDSOR.
