SECTION I FQ OTB ALL THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY MORNING, N0VEM3ER 30, 1934. SPORTS Star-Studded Eastern Ready For All Comers Collier's Pact May Be Extended Special to Th Courier-Journal lesiie The Courier-, eurnal Lexington, Nov. 29. Blanton Collier, University of Kentucky football coach, whose contract has two more seasons to run, probably will have his contract extended soon, President Herman L. Donovan said tonight.

Dr. Donovan, recuperating from an operation, made the statement in' a letter read to the University Alumni Association's annual banquet honoring the football team and coaches at the Student Union Building. Mitchell Honored Dr. Donovan said he had not called a meeting of the U. K.

Athletic Association Directors because of his illness. But he said he "had talked informally with a sufficient number of the members to learn that they favored our voluntarily extending Collier's contract as an expression of our He lost three lettermen from last year's team sharp-shooting Tom Holbrook, Bob Mukahy and Roy Allison but has six returning from that team plus a couple of veterans from the service. Heading the list of lettermen returning from the 1954 squad is junior Jack Adams, brilliant 6-4 all-confer-ence and all-Kentucky Invitation Tournament forward, and a sure starter. The others are guards Ronnie Pelle-grinon, a 5-11 junior, and Jimmy Mitchell, 6-1 sophomore; centers Jim Floyd (6-8) and Bill Baxter (6-6), both seniors; and J. D.

Brock, a 6-4 sophomore who played forward last year but may be moved to the pivot. Strong, Return From Service Guy Strong, former Irvine High School star who later lettered at U. will be playing his final year of collegiate eligibility with the Maroons. Strong, a 62 guard, was enrolled at Eastern in 1951-52, then spent two years in the Army where he gained additional playing experience while performing with service teams. Dick Culbertson, another 6-2 guard, from Columbus, Ohio, was a talented sophomore member of the squad in 1951-52 and has returned to school after a tour of duty in the Navy.

In addition, McBrayer can call on a trio of juniors who have seen only limited action the past two years, 6-6, Harold Fraley and 6-3 Paul Collins, both forwards; and George Francis, a 6-1 guard. Adding to the optimism in the Maroon camp is the best freshman aggregation ever assembled at Eastern. Gracing the freshman roster are such well-known names from the Kentucky high school circles of last year as Bill Florence of Lafayette, Clayton Stivers of Clay County, Larry Redmond and John Ratliff of Newport, Jim Kiser of Carter City, Jack Brooks of Bracken County, Paul Sears of McKee, and Roy Woolum of Barbourville. Carl Wright of Tyner, another service returnee, and Bernie Kotula of Ambridge, are also talented prospects. For the first time since McBrayer has been at Eastern, freshman preliminary games will be played at most of the Maroon home contests with Kentucky junior colleges furnishing the opposition.

Eastern will open the season at home Wednesday against Centre. Season tickets are on sale at the Department of Athletics in the Weaver Health Building on the campus, where ducats for the home opener also may be purchased. Richmond, Nov? 29. As the Eastern Kentucky Maroons busily prepare for the rugged basketball season ahead, a great deal more optimism prevails than did a year ago when Coach Paul McBrayer started from scratch on a rebuilding job. McBrayer faced a disheartening situation last year as graduation and the armed forces had taken the entire starting five plus the front line reserves from the fine (Eastern moves into the Jej jetton County Armory Saturday night to meet V.

McBraysr, beginning his ninth year directing Eastern's basketball program, says, "We'll show marked improvement over last year but whether we'll be good enough to win over such top-ranking teams as North Carolina State, Western, Louisville, Loyola, Xavier, Virginia, and Toledo remains to be seen."

Numerals and sweaters were awarded to 27 freshmen and numerals to 26 more freshmen.

Dr. Donovan's letter, read by Dean Elvis J. Stahr, of the law college, said, "I scarcely believe there is a disappointed person among the three million Kentuckians" after the Wildcats' 7-3 record in a schedule tagged the toughest in the Southeastern Conference. Dr. Donovan said he had told Collier, who took over after "Kentucky lost its great coach, Paul Bryant (who moved to Texas A.

last February," that if "he won three out of 10 games I would be delighted with his achievement." Collier said he had never seen a group more determined than the team, nor one with more desire to win. Next season, he said, the material would be better but mental attitude would determine its success. confidence and our appreciation for the great service he and his associates have rendered the university." Halfback Dick Mitchell of Somerset was presented the Samuel L. Huey, scholarship award which goes annually to the senior player who has the highest cumulative standing for his first three years of college. Thirty varsity players were awarded letters at the banquet.

Chicago, Nov. 29 (AP) Basketball's new bonus free throw rule will cause all existing free throw records to be broken this season, George Ireland, Loyola (Chicago) poach, predicted today.

Ireland told the Chicago Basketball Writers' Association: "I wouldn't be surprised to see teams pick up 25 to 30 free throws per game this season." The new rule provides that on a one-shot foul a player making good on the free throw will get a chance to make another. Last season if a player missed the first free throw he got another shot. "There will be more whistle tooting by the officials because players will be driving in for the bucket more than ever," Ireland said. "Officials will be calling fouls closer. Teams will be spending much of their time around the foul lines." Cowles Disagrees A Whereas Ireland thought additional foul-line shooting might decrease interest in the game, coach Ozzie Cowles of Minnesota said he believed "fans won't object to seeing a boy going up to the line and making a shot." "Last season they used the first free-throw attempt as just a warm-up, knowing they had another chance if they missed," Cowles added.

"They'll now be working for two points, just as good as a "And I'm inclined to think this will make for less fouling than more. We used the new bonus rule in the East-West game last season as an experiment the West won 105-98. So perhaps the fans can expect bigger scores." Cowles said he expected Northwestern to be the real darkhorse of the forthcoming Big Ten basketball race. He praised his senior forward, Dick Garmaker, as one of the finest players in the country and said his 6-11 junior center, Bill Simonovieh, is progressing nicely and will be a starter. Has 6-11 Center "The big boy is showing good body movement and has pretty good stamina," said Cowles.

"He stands 6-11 barefooted, weighs 288 pounds stripped and takes a size 18-D shoe." Minnesota will meet DePaul and Loyola will face Iowa in the opening double-header program at Chicago Stadium Saturday night. Coach Ray Meyer of DePaul forecast that his team may be "15 to 20 per cent better than last season with five boys in the lineup who all can shoot instead of just two." Coach Bucky O'Connor of Iowa said, "we're happy that people think Iowa will have a good team but it's not an enviable position to be tabbed the team to beat for the tine' FRESHMAN ROSTER BACKBONE of Eastern's attack this season will be supplied by Jack Adams, talented 6-4 forward. Adams was chosen for the all-Ohio Valley Conference team last season as a sophomore. Pennsylvania Group Bars Joey Giardello Boxer Must Clear Self Of Assault Accusation Philadelphia, Nov. 29 (U.R) Joey Giardello, number one contender for the middleweight boxing crown, was suspended by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission today because of charges that he beat a gasoline station attendant on the head with a crutch while suffering from a knee injury that cost him a crack at the title.

Commission Chairman Frank Wiener said the 24-year-old South Philadelphia fighter will be suspended "until he clears himself" of charges that he and two other men attacked Howard Short, 36, the attendant, and Frank Gallo, the station owner, four weeks ago. Wiener said, "the commission does not condone hoodlumism, gangsterism or rowdyism" on the part of any persons licensed by it. He added that "we wish to warn any licensee who runs afoul of the law that his license will be revoked permanently." Giardello was using crutches because of a knee injury at the time of the alleged attack four weeks ago. Pierre Langlois since was named as his substitute in the middleweight title fight against champion Carl "Bobo" Olson at San Francisco December 15. at Atherton High School.

So far, according to Doherty, the Association has not agreed on a price of indemnification to the Association by the American League for loss of Kansas City to thii circuit. "We've discussed prices, but have reached no settlement," he said. It is thought that the Association, with no money to speak of in its treasury, was hoping to get enough from the loss of Kansas City to pay the Western for absorption of Denver and Omaha.

The price Denver asked today threw the Association fiscal figuring haywire. It is reported the Association has been offering less than $100,000. for loss of Kansas City. Today the Western asked $150,000 for letting Denver go. A.

A. Seemingly Blocked )fn Bid For Omaha What makes the transfer of Columbus to Omaha so inconceivable now is the report that Western in addition to asking $150,000 for Denver put a price of $100,000 on Omaha. The Cardinals, to get to Omaha, would have to leave idle a park in Columbus, valued at $550,000, plus paying $100,000. That would never happen. The Western will have to soften its demands or Columbus will remain in the Association and the only change will be Kansas City to Omaha.

We'll know more tomorrow. There is no immediacy to any action by the board of arbitration on the draft of Denver. Trautman has 20 days in which to name the board of five men to set a price. After it is selected, the board has 10 days in which to arrive at a decision. There's a likelihood, though, that the whole thing will be settled at the minor ieague convention here and that the Association at its meeting at 1:30 tomorrow may know the arbitration board's verdict.
