It apparently cleared away the biggest obstacle confronting the majors for 1943. L The letter drew the attention of delegates on the eve of the convention while they were discussing the Philadelphia Phils’ financial problems and Bill Terry’s announcement that he had resigned as manager of the New York Giants’ farm system. Eastman asked the big leagues to “explore the possibilities for curtailing travel,” but at the same time said he felt other types of travel by individuals and grgups had “possibly less justification than baseball team travel.” Leaders Optimistic

letter to be at least tacit governmental approval for play next season. The letter was regarded as just as important to the game’s future as President Roosevelt's famed “green light” message of last January. Harridge, president of the American league, termed the letter as “very timely and the cause for optimism.” “I think we partially anticipated Eastman’s desire for curtailed travel,” Harridge said, “when we agreed to return to the three-trip intersectional schedule instead of the four-trip program that had been in effect for the last seven seasons. The schedule as now drafted means a saving of 22,986 miles over the program we used last season. “There are spots in which we

66) can and will make even more sav-

ings by the elimination of some two-game series that now show on the schedule. »

Curb on Touts Harridge said the suggested curb

>/on spring exhibition tours was a

matter for the individual clubs to consider rather than the league. “I'm sure, however,” he said “that every club will do its utmost to

Z| co-operate in that respect. I do not 15 know how far some of them have

gone with their spring schedules,

what changes are possible.” National league Président Frick said: “We will make every possible conservation of travel. We stand ready

508 and willing to carry out any sug-

gestion by Eastman.” The transportation question will be presented to the individual clubs at their meetings today and tomor-~ row. The National league meeting appeared to hold more interest than the American league confab because the financial plight of the Philadelphia Phils will be tossed into the club owners’ laps for discussion. Frick and four directors of the w [league were closeted yesterday to consider the Phils’ problems. “We talked about many angles of the situation,” Frick said, “and undoubtedly the casg¢’ will be further considered at our league meeting: It’s a problem that doesn’t lend it-|

self to quick settlement, however.”

Look Out Behind You

Don’t look now, Mort Lazar of Ft. Monmouth, but there’s someone

behind you. He’s Lou Romano of the Aberdeen Proving Grounds team

have won or shared the Big Ten championship. They don’t say, “In case of doubt, pick Purdue,” for noth-

ed Wabash college in scoring, ‘is a great believer in matching men. Starters depend on the opposition. Lambert teams were the original “point-a-minute” boys of basketball. Nine times in‘ the past 20 years, a Boilermaker has finished at the top of the individual scoring column. Jewell Young holds the present individual record of 184 points for a l12-game season.

It’s a Habit

Lambert believes in training for | habits, so players will react properly to any given situation. Set formations are- practically unknown, Scouts have difficulties in attempting to analyze Purdue's style. One observer, leaving a Boilermaker | game, tore up his notes and muttered: “How can you tell what those | guys are going to do when they don’t know themselves?” Lambert teams jare 40-minute teams. Not as excitable as he was in his younger days, when he ran a close race with Doc Meanwell of Wisconsin for the up-and-down-on-theé-bench-title, Lambert still bounces up and down like a Model T Ford.

Piggy Lambert

Rules Are Okay Lambert refuses to get excited about rules changes, even though he may not agree with the change in question. Queried about a rules change one day, he replied: “Well, they still have a basket at each end of the floor, don’t they?” There has been an inclination to credit his nickname of Piggy to his hoggishness in getting a corner on Western Conference titles. The truth is, however, that he acquired the tag in his old home town, Crawfordsville, Ind., one winter during grammar school days. As he skittered down a hill on a sled an old stocking cap stuck straight out, leading to the name of Pigtail, which was later shortened to the present form. Piggy Lambert has been going at a high rate of speed ever since— and so have his basketball teams.

'In Case of Doubt,’ Pick Purdue, the Experts Say

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.—Ward Lambert is by far the most colorful coach in basketball and, off Purdue’s record, one of the best.

Worst Season

For Big Six Is Concluded

KANSAS CITY, Mp., Dec. 1 (U. VP.) —The curtain has descended on one of the poorest Big Six football seasons in years—both from the standpoint of extracurricular games and money dropped into, the conference till by spectators—but the fall play produced some noteworthy activity deserving of a better backdrop. For one, hats off to Kansas State. Beaten eight times, minus players and coaches because of the demand for war manpower, the Wildcats never said quits.

Beat Nebraska

And, marking a week-end of startling upsets in the nation, the Wildcats slammed Nebraska around the field Saturday to win, 19 to 0. It was the second conference win for the Cats and it meant top spot

hattan entry. Only Missouri remained an outstanding team this year. And when the men of Faurot left their own circuit for the bigger time, they found the going rough. Three losses on the Mizzou chart were placed there while on intercircuit forays.

Missouri Is Champ

Missouri tucked away its second consecutive Big Six title, with only a tie on its escutcheon. That was placed there by an inspired Oklahom team, which rose to its greatest peak of the season against the vaunted razzle-dazzle men of Mizzou. It was Missouri's third title in four years. There are two more games for conference teams. That pits Missouri against the Iowa Seahawks Saturday at Kansas City. Oklahoma is scheduled to play William and Mary,

Don’t Hunt Rabbits With Flashlights

17 More Selected

For Shrine Game

NEW YORK, Dec. 1 (U. P).— Selection of 17 additional players for the eastern team which will meet a western eleven in the Shrine’s annual New Year's football game, was announced by Co-coach Andy Kerr, Colgate gridiron mentor, today. The acceptances included: Ends—Dove, Notre Dame and Schreiner, Wisconsin. Tackles—Wistert, Michigan; Klug, Marquette, and ‘Wildung, Minnesota. Guards—Shiekman, Billman, Minnesota. Centers—Moseley, Yale, and Sabasteanski, Fordham. Backs—Governali, Columbia; Horvath, Ohio State; Kielbasa, DuQuesne; Filipowicz, Fordham; Ceithmal, Michigan; Fox, Colgate; Lynn, Ohio State. Only five more players remain to be chosen.

Another One

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1 (U. P). —Columbia’s forward passing ace, Paul V. Governali, has been named the football player of the year by the Robert W. Maxwell Memorial club. Governali, who was chosen unanimously by the club’s board of directors, will receive a plaque at the annual award dinner in Janu-

Penn, and

And for Elmer Burnham, in spite of a dismal season of one victory and eight defeats, things are looking up. Purdue fans and alumni are satisfied with Burnham's grid record considering the poor material and tough schedule he had in his first year as Boilermaker coach. Injuryridden Purdue was able to upset Northwestern, but -lost to Fordham, Vanderbilt, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Towa, Great Lakes, Michigan State and Indiana. But Burnham will be back and he’ll have a bunch of lads like Dick Barwegen, Kenny Smock, Henry Stram and John Andretich, who ean turn the green 1942 team into a veteran outfit in 1943, : McMillin’s Hoosiers, who won seven out of 10 and scored 256 points to their opponents’ 79, also will be back in force.

Football Prospects at Indiana

And Purdue Next Year Have Never Before Been Brighter

By UNITED PRESS Before the annual madcap of Hoosier basketball deletes memory of the 1942 football season, I. U. and Purdue gridiron machines today came in for a final summing up with a view toward next year’s prospects. For Bo McMillin, who just wrapped up the most successful Indiana year since 1917 with a 51-0 route over Ft. Knox, prospects for an ap=proaching. season never have been brighter,

siers outdid the record of the 1917 I. U. team, which scored 101 of its 225 points against secondary foes, Wabash and Franklin. I. U, has scored in 28 consecu= tive games, strings | among major collegiate elevens. In over-all statistics, Indiana outplayed composite opponents in every department of the game, making’ 827 net. yards passing and more than 2000 net yards rushing, Lou Saban, newly elected captain, who will lead the 1943 Hoosiers, should supply the backbone of next year’s defense as well as the blocke ing on offense. Saban, LaGrange, Ill, boy, was described by Bernie Bierman of the Iowa Seahawks, as the “best defensive back we've met this year.” Next year ought to be great pick ings for Indiana and Purdue if the war doesn’t' cramp football's style,
