By Eddie Ash HOPE TO CURB GRID INJURIES H * * COACHES “OPERATE” ON RULES

CEVERAL changes in football rules have been recommended by the American Football Coaches’ Association and the chief aim is to safeguard the players. Fatalities and injuries increased in 1935 and the grid leaders desire to do everything in th 3 ir power to protect the boy. The “slow whistle” is expected to be abolished. This permitted a ball carrier, whose progress had been halted, to pass or break away. Tacklers made it a practice to hit harder than necessary to prevent further progress and many ball toters were injured when brought down when they were in a poor body position to withstand a severe jolt. The coaches discussed returning the goal posts to the goal line, but here again the Injury menace cropped out and they recommended that the uprights be left “as is.” They also decided it would be best to leave the pass-interference rule stay as it is in the old code. There was a warm argument on this point, but the "extreme penalty” was believed necessary to save the bones of pass receivers when close to enemy goal lines. A player twisting his body to catch a pass is in a bad fix when hit or bumped with violence.

an a FOOTBALL hardly will be the same with "Gloomy Gil” Dobie missing from the ranks. His resignation at Cornell carries the entire grid staff out, includi: g five assistants. Gil's luck was all bad at Ithaca, but he is recognized as an able grid mentor nevertheless. He proved it years ago when his teams were unbeatable on the Pacific Coast. Big Red elevens of Cornell used to be tops, but they failed to click under Dobie and he tore up a contract that had two years to run. tt tt n Batts with nine points led the Butler scorers when the Bulldogs trounced Michigan State Saturday night. The contest was won at the free throw line, eight charity tosses to five for the Spartans. The score was 24-21. U n u PURDUE and Notre Dame went in for field goal inflation. The Boilermakers tallied 26 from the field and the Irish 24. Purdue crushed Chicago, 59-16, and N. D. smothered St. Benedict’s 52-17. Just soft touches for the Hoosier teams. a tt it Indiana Central made it a real home-coming and let 14 players perform before the old grads. Manchester was walloped, 64-31. Twen-ty-eight field goals were registered by the Greyhounds. a tt IT'S an ill blizzard, etc. Ray Miller, veteran boxer, was on the point of trying a comeback and courting more bruises and scars when a blizzard hit New York. He turned to selling coal and presto, cancelled his comeback. His friends swamped him with orders —probably to keep him out of the ring. tt a INDIANA and Purdue, undefeated in Big Ten competition, do not meet this season and there is a similar situation in New York which has the cage fans over there talking in their sleep. New York U. and Long Island U. are unbeaten and are not scheduled to face each other. The Olympic plan is to choose only one five from that district. So get ready to hear a vociferous squawk from the team that is sidetracked. a a Whereas Earl Meyers was Michigan’s leading basketball scorer with 50 points in Big Ten games a year ago, John Townsend of Indianapolis already has scored 58 and George Rudness 53 in seven games this season. Rudness is the team’s leading scorer for the season with 96 points, but the real race is a family affair, with John and Earl Townsend involved. Both have scored 89 points, including nonConference games. a a tt 'T'HE Times- Legion Golden Gloves tourney has become such a popular feature on the local sports calendar that the capacity of the Armory is taxed to accommodate the fans. The current classic is the fourth annual. It “out-grew” Tomlinson Hall and threatens to do the same thing at the Armory. If the city had a larger building downtown it would be possible to have action going on in two rings at the same time. The double ring arrangement stretches the necks of the spectators who try to watch both rings at once, but the cities in which it has been tried report packed houses. Canadian Lass Fast Stepper on Courts By r*mi trd Prc ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 3.—Eunice Evers, of Toronto. Ontario, today held the Orlando winter tennis crown.

5 Named for 20th Century Hall of Fame Ty Cobb Draws High Vote in Poll for Cooperstown Memorials. BY WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Feb. 3.—Five great stars. Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson and Honus Wagner, will represent the Twentieth Century in baseball's hall of fame. They were the only play-

irs who received efficient votes to be memorialized in the museum planned at Cooperstown, N. Y., birthpplace of the national pastime. Ten players who have starred since 1900 would have been accepted had that many received 75 per cent of the total vote. There were 226 votes cast, making it necessary

for each player to get 169 to win. Members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America did the voting and their most popular choice was Cobb. He received 222. Ruth and Wagner were next with 215 each, Mathewson received 205 and Johnson 189. Too Much Competition Except for the leaders and a few others the vote was widely split. Napoleon Lajoie, the graceful, hardhitting second baseman who spent 21 years in the majors, was kept out of the hall of fame because there have been so many other stars at that position. He was forced to divide the vote with Rogers Hornsby, Eddie Collins, Johnny Evers and Frankie Frisch. Lajoie received 146 votes; Hornsby, 105; Collins, 60; Frisch, 14, and Evers, 6. Tris Speaker, for 22 years a brilliant fielder and heavy hitter, was another who missed out by a small margin. He received 133 votes. Willie Keeler, the former Brooklyn and New York outfielder, was next to Speaker with 40 votes. Keeler, however, will be nominated from the stars who played before 1900. Few of the present-day heroes received consideration. Lefty Grove, the great Boston southpaw, received only 12 votes, and A1 Simmons of Detroit got but four. Jerome (Dizzy) Dean drew one. Nobody voted for Carl Hubbell or Lon Warneke and only nine chose Bill Terry. “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, who received two votes, was the only member of the “Black” Sox given consideration. Cochrane Tops Catchers Gordon (Mickey) Cochrane, manager of the world champion Detroit Tigers, proved the most popular catcher, getting 80 votes. Roger Brcsnahan, the old Baltimore and New York Giant backstop was next with 47. The best first baseman since 1900, in the opinion of the sports writers, was George Sisler, former St. Louis Browns star. He received 77 votes, 26 more than Lou Gehrig and 56 more than Jimmy Foxx. Jimmy Collins, who played with both Boston clubs and who unquestionably was the greatest third baseman in the history of the American League, was accorded 58 votes. Harold (Pie) Traynor of Pittsburgh received 16. Carmel , Portland on Silents 9 Cage Card The Silent Hoosiers of the State School for the Deaf are to play two basketball games this week, invading Carmel Friday night and playing host to Portland Saturday night. Lawrence snapped the Silents’ winning streak at the local gym Saturday night with a 25-22 setback. Keesling of Lawrence was high man with nine markers. Hendrix and Ayres were best for the locals.

City Fives Face Strong Foes in Stretch Drive

BY PAUL BOXELL Around the January curve they come and down the February stretch they drive! It’s the final regular season spurt down the straightaway to the March tourney tape for Indianapolis and other state high school basketball teams this month.

Confining the race to local schools* it is found that considerable r/jtion and several important games are to be packed into the next 25 days or so. Washington faces the heaviest playing calendar, with seven games remaining, while Cathedral meets only three more foes before heading for Fort Wayne and the state Catholic tournament. How They Wind Up In case you wish to do some advance shopping for your basketball entertainment, herewith are presented the remnants of local schedules for the balance of the season: CATHEDRAL Friday. Southport; Saturday, at Martinsville; Feb. 14, Washington (Indianapolis). TECH Saturday. Marion; Feb. 11, at Lafayette; Feb. 15, Shelbyville;.Feb. 22, Anderson; Feb. 28, at Franklin.

Two Tackle Champs You may notice that two local quintets, Tech and Shortridge, will tackle Anderson, defending state champs, and that two intra-city skirmishes are yet to break out before the curtain rolls down. Shortridge and Manual, as well as Cathedral and Washington, still have differences to settle. Manual and Shortridge met in the city tourney final game, with the Redskins coming out on top. Washington and Cathedral will collide for the first and only time this season. But let’s return to the immediate future and take a glance at the billboard for this week-end. Cathedral Is Favored Nine games are programmed, five on Friday night and four on Saturday. No intra-city contests are offered, the nearest approach to that classification being the SouthportCathedral scrap on Friday night.

Cathedral tripped Brazil Friday night and edged out Tech in a thriller here Saturday night, 21 to 19. Southport bowed at Greensburg and dropped a 28-15 decision to Center Grove. Washington is accorded a 50-50 chance next Friday against a Noblesville quintet which started fast this season but has slowed somewhat during the past few weeks. Manual tangles with Decatur Central, a team that is second only to Ben Davis in county strength. Shortridge travels to Lebanon, where Butch Neuman is having his troubles again this year. Crispus Attacks invades Louisville. Tech’s North Central Conference clash with Marion on the East Side headlines the Saturday menu. Marion’s small quintet dropped two tussles. to Lafayette and Kokomo, last Friday and Saturday, and fell a notch to fourth place in the league standings with five won and five lost.

Scribes Pan ’ Notables of Baseball in Clever Show Connie Mack Comes in for Heartiest 'Ribbing’ During Writers’ Annual Banquet. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 3.—8i1l Terry and Casey Stengel have made their deal at last. The Giants’ manager traded the Dodgers’ boss a butter knife for two oyster forks. Terry claims he got stung, but Stengel says the oyster forks will oe better than some of the Giants’ ball players next September. So all the baseball news today is burlesque following the thirteenth annual dinner of the Baseball Writers Association of America, New York

chapter. More than 700 persons, including most of the game’s notableo, rocked with laughter as the writers kidded Connie Mack, Tom Yawkey, Bob Quinn, Babe Ruth, Bill Terry, Charlie Grimm, Joe McCarthy, Mickey Cochrane, Dizzy Dean and other famous baseball figures. Connie Mack and Tom Yawkey, who have made some of the biggest cash transactions in baseball history between them the past few years, came in for a large share of ribbing. In a skit called “And All Through the Night” one of the writers In the role of Connie Mack chased another scribe playing the part of Tom Yawkey all over the large Commodore ballroom in an effort to sell him some more ball players. More About Connie In another Mack is asked about his health, and he replies: “I feel fine. I sold my house this morning.” A parody on the song, “The Music Goes ’Round and Around,” was illustrated by placards showing how a key is pressed on Tom Yawkey's cash register and how money comes out at Shibe Park, Philadelphia, and how ball players come out at Fenway Park, Boston. A writer representing Bob Quinn, new president of the Boston Nationals, sang a song entitled “I Got Plenty of Nuthin’.” Babe Ruth’s failure to land a managerial job was given several jibes by the scribes. One of the writers asked why they called Manager McCarthy of the Yankees “Second Place Joe.” “That’s because he finishes second so much,” another replied. “And President Harridge says he’s going to award the Yankees permanent possession of second place if Joe can land in the No.. 2 spot twice more.” Umpire George Moriarty was ridiculed for his protested decisions in the World Series which drew him a S2OO fine, and a writer, imitating him. tried to win back the fine by appearing in an amateur skit on the radio. When he won the prize it was revealed as a S2OO gift order for Wrigley's chewing gum. Wrigley is owner of the Chicago Cubs. Gov. Hoffman Is Speaker Sam Breadon and the Cardinals were kidded in a number called "The Kink in the Chain Gang,” in which a writer sang "Peoria, I Hear You Calling Me.” On the serious side, Hank Greenberg was presented with a plaque as “the player of the year,” and Frankie Frisch received a plaque for meritorious sendee to baseball over a long period. Jimmy Walker, former mayor of New York City, was presented with a plaque as “the father of Sunday baseball in New York.” President Roosevelt sent the writers a letter in which he expressed the hope that they would get “their full share of the good things of life the coming season.” Gov. Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey, a former sports scribe, was one of the speakers, and received one of the biggest ovations of the evening after his speech. CELTICS TAKE IT EASY By United Press NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 3 —New York’s green-shirted Celtics, ace professionals, played just hard enough last night to beat Zeke Bonura's local basketball squad. 40 to 37. Bonura, Chicago White Sox first baseman, scored 13 points for his team. 3

Galloping Giants Test Brownsburg Ben Davis Seeks 20th Win in Return Fray. The undefeated Ben Davis Giants, with 19 consecutive victories on their slate, are to invade Brownsburg for a tilt tomorrow night.
