Cleaning Up of Troubles in College Stadia Is Duty of Schools, Not Papers, Claim Nation’s Press Built Up Game to Great Popularity, but Is Not Proper Instrument to Quell New ‘Evils,’ Dan Daniel Tells Convening Officials. (While Joe William, recuperate, from hi, recent operation thi, column will be written by member, of the New York World-Telecram ,port, staff BY DANIEL M. DANIEL Time, Special Writer NEW YORK. D“c. 27 —Those high gales which for the last 43 hours have been tearing through this city are not entirely the products of the laboratory of old Boreas Up in Medicine Hat, we must not forget that the annual varsity sports tonsil testing tournament, featuring the National Collegiate Athletic Association, daisy chain carnival, and the specialized gabfests of football coaches, officials and goal past defenders are in vehement progress. By tomorrow night there will be enough engrossed resolutions around here to paper the walls of all our subways. The chief thesis of the campus yodelers seems to be that the American press is not doing an adequate job in educating the public not to drink in football stadia, not to dash into the field and tear down the goal posts. Some of the educators also believe that if the newspapers of this country exposed colleges which proselyted athletics up to the 1m-

Vow Wow! Stanford Men Hold ‘Ritual’ With Rabbit Feet and Buttermilk.

By Vniteil Press -pASADENA, Cal.. Dec. 27.—Thir-ty-eight Stanford football players, each clutching a rabbit’s foot charm, have vowed they will “do or die” in the Rose Bowl game against Southern Methodist on Jan. 1. Vow-taking, an accepted custom at the Palo Alto institution, started four years ago when the Cardinal freshmen swore a fearful oath that they would never lase to a University of Southern California team. For four seasons they knocked off the Trojans with montonous regularity. No vows were sworn before the Rose Bowl games against Columbia and Alabama, and Stanford took surprise beatings. With the Mustangs favored to give the Cardinals a bad licking, the 38 players, Coach Tiny Thornhill and Assistant Coaches Ernie Nevers and Jim Lawson gathered around a flowing beaker of buttermilk and swore they would lick the Mustangs. a a a EACH clutched tightly the left foot of a rabbit sent by an anonymous donor who “vowed” the rabbits had been nailed up in a graveyard at midnight and that each was a “genuine” left hind foot, not a right hind or front foot. The cardinal players then pounded each other on their respective backs and claimed they practically had the game in the bag as a Stanford vow was a serious business and was applied only in a desperate situation. tt tt a WHILE Coach Thornhill would not go as far as to base predictions of victory on a vow, he said: ‘‘This team is in better condition mentally and physically than any I’ve brought here in the last few years and I hope It is good enough to win.” During yesterday’s workout Thornhill had the squad going through setting-up exercises to work off any excess weight picked up while consuming Christmas Day dinners. A passing drill followed briefly nnd the boys got down to work on their defense against S. M. U. passes. Monk Mascrip, protecting an injured knee and broken jaw, did not participate in the workout. He said his knee did not pain him any longer and that he hoped to play the entire game against Southern Methodist. Moscrip's place-kicking won three of Stanford's games this year. McAvoy Sails for E ngla n d—Ho m csi ck limes Special , NEW YORK. Doc. 27.—A rase of homesickness caused Jock McAvoy, British lightweight champion, and his wife to sail unexpectedly for home yesterday. They plan to spend two weeks visiting their three children in England before returning to this country. Hailed as the best British fighter to invade this country in more than five years, Jock hopes to get a chance at John Henry Lewis' world light-heavyweight crown when he returns.

i maculacy of our inter-collegiate debating platform, all would be well. It is quite true that the American press has made college football what it is. The newspapers picked up the spoil when it was a physical hazaid. an athletic detriment and an obsolete game. They forced football into a clinic that reached into the White House. They fastened the forward pass on the game, opened it up and paved the way for the stadium era. Newspapers Not Policemen I This progress was achieved not ' without the development of abuses. But taking football by and large, j and in so far as it comes under their influence, the newspapers are not | ashamed of it. However, sports editors and footi ball writers dislike being called I upon to become the policemen of ! the gridiron. The colleges themi selves have the most virile weapon jat their command. It is the highly efficient agency developed many years ago by one Captain Boycott. To act the host to a college under | suspicion of acute recruiting and high payments, accept the packed j stadium and its emoluments and then open the window and holler “Help!” nor only is not cricket, it isn’t football. And we pass the thought on to the debaters of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Save Those Goal Posts The past football season built two extra-curricular activities into major topics for faculty conversationalists now in our midst. One stunt is embodied in the twelfthman idea, worked out so nobly by a disciple of John Barleycorn, in the snowy Princeton-Dartmouth game. The other is the growing habit of smashing goal posts and fighting on the field. This feature achieved a high pitch at the Yale-Princeton contest, which was finished without the benefit of crossbars at either end of the bowl. At the sportsmanship brotherhood yesterday Dr. William Mather Lewis, president of Lafayette College, called on the newspapers to educate the public against these growing “evils.” Dr. Lewis expressed the belief that if the press did not make a joke of drunken spectators dashing into a football scrimmage, the practice would die out. Likewise did he deplore the suggestion of strongarm methods against goal post destroyers. Well, It’s Fun, Isn't It? Here, again, the newspapers must decline the appointment as policemen of the gridiron. If a man dashes into a foothall scrimmage and actually figures in a play, as did that, spectator at Princeton, it becomes news. If a thousand men fight for sl4 worth of lumber in the excited gloaming, that also is news. If the colleges deplore the fights, the breaking up of goal posts and attendant publicity, they have only to employ a sufficient number of cops to handle the situation. A phalanx of special police on the field before the celebrants could organize would stop those goal post fights. Personally. w r e rather like them. Nobody ever gets hurt, and sometimes the fight is more exciting than the game. BRITTON TO ASSIST | Timex Special | KNOXVILLE. Term., Dec. 27. Maj. W. H. Britton, head football coach at the University of Tennessee last season, has signed a one-year contract as assistant to Maj. Robert R. Neyland, who is returning next year.

BY BERNARD HARMON ALARGE entry is reported registered in the ninth annual “Singles Sweepstakes” at the St. Philip Alleys tomorrow and Sunday. Attracting the attention of the city’s pin knights is the SSO guaranteed first place prize. The event, since its innovation at the East Side drives, has been the most popular singles affair in local circles. Most of the city's top notch keglers participate in the tourney and scoring is usually of a high caliber. However, there is an equal chance for all entrants, for the event is a 200 scratch handicap affair. Four games are rolled across the four alleys at the establishment. The first squad is scheduled for 3 tomorrow aftemon, while the final opening day prize seekers will get under way at 9. Sunday the affair opens with a 10 a. m. squad and continues through until the completion of the 10:30 squad. Reservations may be made through Bill Sargent at Cherry 1210. tt a a ALARGE turnout also is assured in the Fountain Square Recreation Alleys’ fifth annual five-man team 1050 scratch handicap tournament to be held Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 4 and 5.

The Fountain event last season was the only team affair of the city that paid a first-place prize of S3OO, which, if the entries continue to pour in, will be the top money again this season. Tuesday midnight is the deadline for registering entries. Information may be had by calling Behrens at Drexel 2150. ana THE holiday season, along with the frigid w’eather, took its toll among pastimers of the city during last night’s league sessions, many postponements being necessary as “blind” scores appeared in the lineups of the few teams that -were in action. Cracking out games of 217, 233 and 236, Carl Hardin, in pacing the solo performers of the Printcraft League, in session at Pritchett’s, totaled 686, which also was good for city-wide honors as well.

Pitney’s Rally in Buckeye Battle Called Top Thrill Whole Nation on Edge as Gallant Notre Dame Half Back Led Team to Last-Minute Victory. By United press NEW YORK. Dec. 27.—The biggest sports thrill of 1935 came late on the afternoon of Nov. 2 when Andy James Pilney. dynamic little Notre Dame half back, led his mates to glorious victory over Ohio State in one of the most dramatic last-ditch rallies in football annals. Sixty-eight of the 185 sports editors who participated iq the United Press poll acclaimed Pilney s performance as the most thrilling duiing

the year's sports whirl. During the nearly 15 minutes that Pilney led the charge which brought Notre Dame back from the brink of defeat to miraculous victory, sports editors participating in the poll reported that excitement reached such heights that — “The throng of 80.000 gathered in Ohio State’s horseshoe stadium could scarcely believe its eyes as a team beaten 13-0 came back to score 18 points in story-book fashion. “Automobile drivers scattered over the nation pulled their cars over to the side of the road to listen to radio accounts. "High school football games were halted while players, coaches and officials listened over the radio. Other Games Forgotten “Spectators at other college games left their seats to go scurrying to press boxes for information about Notre Dame.” Many sports editors called Pilney’s performance the most thrilling in all football history. One sports editor said: “I've never gotten such a kick out of any sport. The rest of the football season was ruined for me.” Another contributor said he would never forget watching Pilney wave to the crowd from his stretcher as he was carried from the field after being swamped under a human avalanche in his last heroic run. Feat Seems Impossible Pilney’s feats still seem incredible. With Ohio State leading 13-0, here’s w T hat Pilney did in the last period: Ran back a punt for twenty-eight yards to Ohio State’s 12-yard line, and then completed a pass to the 1-yard line, from wffiere the first Notre Dame touchdown was made. Threw three passes and caught another to cover seventy-five yards in Notre Dame’s second touchdown march of seventy-eight yards With less than a minute to play and his team trailing 13-12, he slashed and fought thirty-two yards to Ohio State’s IS-yard line, from where Bill Shakespeare threw the winning pass to Wayne Millner. Bridges’ Pitching Second

Tommy Bridges’ magnificent pitching in the sixth and final game of the World Series was given second place by 37 contributors. Third place went to Goose Goslin's $62,500 single which won the World Series for the Tigers. Eighteen writers named Goslin’s blow as the big thrill of the year. The Notre Dame team was given fourth place with 13 votes. James J. Braddock’s surprise victory over Max Baer received fifth place with five votes. One of the big surprises of the poll was the fact that Don Budge’s thrilling tennis victory over Baron Yon Cramm of Germany in the in-
