By Eddie Ash PHYSICIANS STUDY BASKETBALL a a tt DON'T OBJECT TO OLD TOURNEY

r pHK Indiana State Medical Association held its eightysixth annual three-day session in Gary this week. It is interesting to note that the medical directors turned in a report on high school athletics. The Indiana State High School Athletic Association recently changed the basketball scheme of tournament action to avoid the playing of three games in one day by any team, thereby cutting the big and colorful finals at Indianapolis from two days to one. The summation, in part, of the Indiana State Medical Association committee on the study of high school sports follows: “The Indiana High School Athletic Association has made a change in tournament arrangements for the basketball season of 1935-1936. There has been considerable clamor from some sources for a change that will avoid the playing of three games in one day. The proposed tournament schedule avoids this setup which has provoked so much discussion, and which many people honestly think is detrimental to health. "It is doubtful if throe basketball games in one day constitute a health hazard, providing of course, that the participants are conditioned and in sound health. ‘ Isolated and infrequent cases of chronic disease in boys taking active part in athletics have come to our attention. Careful preliminary examination and intelligent medical supervision in co-operation with the coaches will prevent these occurrences. a a a a a a “Conditioning of the players is largely the coach’s prerogative. He is trained for it, and no coach can be successful unless he is adept at it. “Insofar as w f e know the life insurance companies have not felt that competitive athletics are hazardous enough to warrant an increase in rate or to influence a rejection of an applicant; This does not mean that abuses do not creep in and that injury to health may not result from athletic activity. 808 BBS

“It is a curious fact that little or no interest is to be found in the abuses and injuries occurring in independent ranks and on vacant lots, in town halls and church gyms. The participants in these classes also are growing boys. Yet little solicitude is expressed whether they play one or ten games a day, or from dawn ’til dark, as long as it is not under the auspices of the Indiana State High School Athletic Association The committee report was signed by the following physicians: W. D. Little, Indianapolis, chairman: H. C. Wadsworth, Washington; J. E. P. Holland, Bloomington; R. H. Pierson, Spencer; G. A. Thomas, Lafayette. B B B B B B AUTHORITIES at the United States Naval Academy have changed the Middies’ football schedule this week and the Navy-Virginia game carried in this week’s Times football selections blank will not count in the Perfect Picker Pete contest. The game originally was carded for Saturday, but was advanced to today as a feature of the Annapolis observance of the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the academy. The college grid surprises last week were supplied by the Ft. Hayes Teachers’ College in trimming the 1934 Missouri Valley champion, Kansas State, 3 to 0; Auburn, in downing Tulane; Marquette, in running wild over Wisconsin; Rhode Island, in trouncing Brown; Albright, in defeating Georgetown: North Carolina, in lacing the mighty Tennessee, and Western Reserve, in flattening Cornell. Not all of these upset games were carried in last week's Times selection blank schedule. B B B B B B Fordham is using a play called the “mouse trap.” The scheme of the play is to let the tackle charge through into the Rams’ backfield. Then two backs block him out completely and the runner goes through the gap. jimmy Crowley’s warriors tallied two touchdowns with the “trap” last Saturday. B B B B B B GOOSE GOSLIN, who broke up the World Series in Detroit's favor, usually does his best when a lot of money is at stake. In 1924 he hit three homers for Washington against the Giants and the next year he belted three homers for the Washington Senators against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1933, with Washington, he walloped another homer. The Goose got off to a slow start in this year's classic, but picked up form and produced opportune hitting to pace the Tigers to the championship.

Half-Century Old Pigskin Rivalries Flaming Again Columbia and Rutgers to Renew Hostilities Which Began in 1870 and Ended in 1902. By l nltcd Prim NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Football rivalries which flourished in the era of the horse-car and handle-bar mustache either will be renewed or extended on three Eastern fields Saturday. Intersectional clashes between the 1935 giants crowd this trio of gam \s—Columbia-Rutgers, Syracuse-Cornell and Yale-Pennsylvania—into the background. Yet behind each of them stands the most glorious gridiron history ever written. i

Most traditional meeting is that of Columbia and Rutgers, who first played when there were 20 men on a side and Notre Dame was a French cathedral. That was in 1870 when Columbia, playing its first game, was defeated by the bewhiskered stars of Rutgers. Altogethe; Columbia and Rutgers have met 2 times with Columbia winning five, Rutgers eight, and four ending in ties. Their last meeting was in 1902, when Columbia won, 43-0. Saturday's second meeting will mark the first time that Pennsylvania and Yale have met in Philadelphia since 1889. The last game saw Yale, coached by Walter Camp, aefeat the Red and Blue, 20-10.

Tough Decisions Followed Moriarty All Over Diamond, Williams Recalls

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—While the clubhouse boy is exhuming my rubber nose guard, moleskin pants, turtle neck jersey and stocking cap for another whirl on the gridiron ask your grandpappy about old point-a-minute Williams!) I’d like to distill a few final

paragraphs about the World Series. You may recall that Umpire George Moriarty was the storm center of the series. At least as far as the defeated Cubs were concerned. They took I the attitude that even if Moriarty was good they

Williams

would have no part of him. They squawked so vehemently, that old Judge Landis held a hearing, the formal result of which is yet to be made public. Moriarty is an American League umpire. In days gone by he played third base and managed the Tigers, It seemed he had to call every tough play in the series. The tough ones followed him all around the diamond. Even over to third base where Moriarty once said the umpire ought to have a ukulele to pass the time away. If Moriarty had had a ukulele at this series his favorite chanty would have been. “Oh, j Lordy why do they pick on me?” | Moriarty gave most of the tough decisions against the Cubs; he gave them as he saw them and to neutral observers it seemed that he gave them correctly. But because Moriarty had once been a member of the Tigers of another era Cub sympathizers attempted to impugn the impartiality of his decisions. No Alibis, Sir? The Cub players and National . League officials professed to have ; very decided sentiments regarding j Moriarty's umpiring, but they did : not come boldly to the 48-point headlines and claim that he de- j liberately favored the Tigers either for sentimental or sinister reasons, j The United Press quoted Charlie Grimm, manager of the Cubs, as follows: “Tough decisions go against all ball clubs some time or another. But never in all my baseball experience have I heard the language that was used in this series.” And Ford Frick, National League president, is quoted: “The Cubs allowed Moriarty to get their goat. Instead of worrying about how to stop the Tigers the Cubs were thinking about an umpire. It was disheartening to a young club. However, the National League has no alibis.” (The old Colonel will have to read that last sentence again. . . . “The National League has no alibis.” .. . | Well, maybe I'm daffy. You will note that Mr. Grimm's resentment is not. against the tough; decisions going against his club but ! the language that was employed by j Moriarty. (It was brought out at j the hearing Landis held that the umpire had split an infinitive, used a double negative and pronounced boil “berl''.) Press Box Is Neutral The remarks of Mr. Frick are illuminating in that they show how the viewpoint of a man can change with positions. Asa baseball writer Mr. Frick placed scant importance on squawks against the umpires. This was the traditional alibi of the ball player. And anyway even if

Coach McMillin has developed a hard-fight-ing machine and a furious struggle is promised Saturday. I. U. got away to a good start last week by trouncing Centre College of Kentucky.

the umpire happened to be wrong, in the end these things evened themselves up. This was the attitude of the press box in Mr. Frick’s day. It is still the attitude of the press box. Whether Mr. Frick knows it or not the National Leaguers have made a practice of riding World Series umpires for several years, and with a very definite plan in mind.

Midwest Scribes Favor Buckeyes and Gophers Tie for Big Ten Title Predicted in Poll: Indiana Named Most Improved Conference Team. BY WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 10. —Ohio State and Minnesota are favored almost unanimously to tie for the Big Ten football title, according to a poll of midwest sport writers conducted by the United Press.

Seventeen writers participated in the poll. Twelve picked Minnesota and Ohio State to go through the season undefeated, since the teams do not meet. Two writers predicted that Minnesota would lose one game and two figured that Ohio State would lose one. One writer selected Purdue to win the championship and said Ohio would finish third. The final standings, according to the consensus would be: 1. Ohio State and Minnesota (tied >. 3. Purdue. 4. Illinois 5. Indiana. 6. Wisconsin. 7. Northwestern. 8. lowa. 9. Chicago. 10. Michigan. The two writers who picked Ohio State to finish second said they were playing hunches that Indiana would upset the Buckeyes. The critic who predicted a third division berth for Ohio State said: “They already have won the

In the series two umpires are chosen from one league and two from the other. It is the natural thing for these men to bend over backward in proving they aren’t biased. Repeated accusation that an umpire is biased can have, in fact, has had the effect of making him favor the other side at critical turns.

magazine championship but they still have five Big Ten teams to play.” Most of the writers figure that! Illinois and Purdue will put on a j great battle for third place. The voting gave Illinois only a onepoint margin over the Boilermakers. Indiana, according to the experts, is the most improved team in the conference, being rated 14 per cent better than in 1934. One writer selected Indiana to finish fourth. The critics were almost unanimous in saying that Northwestern will be a fine team later in the season but that the schedule is against it. The Wildcats are the only team besides | Michigan which plays both Ohio State and Minnesota. TIGERS’ HOME TO GROW Bit Times Special DETROIT.

BY DICK MILLER Hopes buoyed by a victorious clean sweep last Saturday, Indiana • three major college elevens approached this weeks encounters confident of another grand slam. ]

Purdue makes its second invasion of New York to battle Fordham with spirit high, after a fine Big Ten start Saturday night over Northwestern, 7-0. Indiana University grid warriors never were so impressed with chances for a victory over Michigan as they are this week, working overtime to polish plays for the invasion. At South Bend the Notre Dame gridders worked for their impending scrap with Wisconsin Saturday, feeling the odds are in their favor, but dissatisfied with their own performance against Carnegie Tech last week. Four Conference Clashes Among Indiana Collegiate Conference schools competition this week involved five out-of-state college elevent and four strictly intraconference affairs. Activities open Friday when an undefeated Butler eleven, defending champion of 1934, plays hast to Hanover in the northside bowl under the lights. The Bulldogs have downed Louisville and Evansville teams so far and hope to extend their streak at the expense of the Panthers.
