MORE HEAT ON NET REFEREES
AND CHEER LEADERS ARE BLUE
SWALD TOWER, the basketball game’s major-domo on rules, has announced that if any points not specifically covered in the rules book should come up this sea- . son the referee shall have the power to make the decision. ¢ « « Which increases the heat on the officials in the tough spots of a game. With the court sport speeded up by the elimination of the center jump except at the start of the game and the second half “kickoff,” and other rare instances, referees may have to train like cross-country athletes to build up their wind. . . . There’s hardly an idle moment and some whistle tooters already are feeling the strain of the gal-
loping basketball. And cheer leaders have found the cheering time cut down to pregame and intermission. . . . They used to get in some good licks-with a “Yea, team!” while the ball was being carried back to center after the scoring of a basket, but that break in the action is no longer at their disposal and the yell masters ave virtually grounded with their
megaphones. . . . Well, part time, anyway. ® » » r 8 8 8

Two of Indiana's top-ranking quintets, .

Seymour's Owls, also undefeated, surprised a strong North ernon team Friday, 36-28. New Albany and Jettersonville will draw attention to another pair of Hoosierdom’s strongest southern fives. Comparative scores help little to indicate a winner. New Albany, with a fast passing attack, swamped both Central: of Evansville and Columbus over the week-end to continue their winning streak, while the Red Devils dedicated their new gymnasium by knocking off the state champion, Anderson Indians, 17-15.

Joe 0. K.’s Poll Giving Coaching Palm to Mylin
By JOE WILLIAMS : Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Who did the best coaching job in America this year? ‘The annual World-Tele- | ‘gram. poll, just completed, awards
the olive wreath to Hook Mylin of undefeated Lafayette. In a crosscountry canvas of opinion, a majority of fellow coaches voted him the distinction today. There may be some who will question the selection. There were other undefeated teams . weren't there? .You didn’t hear anybody mention Lafayette for the Rose Bowl game, did’ you? And whom did Mylin put a on the Al- : America — anyWilliams: body's A111 = America, a nd there must have been 50,000 of them?" That doesn’t happen to be the point. The point is, what coach did the best job with the material
When Mr. Mylin took charge at Lafayette this. year he found a dismal football picture. The morale was weak, the
working with virtually the same squad which had lost eight and won only one game the year before. It was out of such a drab situation that Mr. Mylin emerged as
understanding, sympathetic hand‘ler of young men. In one short season he completely reversed the picture, He revitalized the team spirit, revived the campus ardor, and, in. the process, gave Lafayette its first all-winning season in history. This was almost like winning the pennant with the Phillies. I grant you there were a number

The Old School Spifit It seems reasonably fair to question whether the good doctor was blessed with an excess of collegiate fire on his squad this year, especially in view of the fact that sixteen seniors decided they wéuldn’t play in any Bowl game unless they were paid money. It would be hard to] tie that up with: school spirit :
Nevertheless Sutherland was able | to take this put-it-on-the-line squad and go through one of the toughest schedules in the country with-

out a defeat. At least the man must know what a football looks like. The most talked of newcomer in professional football this year dis | Sammy Baugh, definitely the most talented forward passer the sport ‘has ever seen. You can imagine what he must have meant to his team in college. A sharpshooter capable of hitting a recéiver between the eyes at 40 yards, he was practically a fully-equipped offense in himself. What happened to his team when he left? Well, the team—Texas Christian— wasn’t quite so good, but it managed to do better than all right. The ‘Horned Toads; as they are poetically called, beat Southern Methodist, Rice, Texas and Tulsa—and came
‘within a point of tieing unbeaten
Fordham. All without Baugh. If seems to me this is distinetly to the credit of Leo Meyer, the coach. He lost the brightest star in college football, yet kept on winning. If the fellow had a press agent they'd be calling him the miracle man. : "Red Blaik of Dartmouth sponsored a remarkable season ‘himself. He lost six first stringers, all ‘excellent men, and finished the year with Just two ties to besmirch his record. , It appears his replacements were even better than he suspected. The finest job of bringing a team up to one game probably was done by Dick Harlow. The Harvard: team which beat Yale was letter perfect in ‘every detail. If it: wasn't the best drilled.team of the year—for that one game anyway—it was so close to it, debate is futile. -
