A copy of the telegram was sent to Georgia University, whose team plays in the Rose Bowl this year. Tickets Released Eastman said he received a tsle- gram from Joseph B. David, president of New Orleans Midwinter Sports. who said he had provided the teams scheduled to play in the Sugar Bowl with tickets they had requested for sale at their respective schools. To this.

Eastman said he replied? "Purpose of restricting ticket sales to bowl games to areas in, which games are played is to relieve transportation burden and to avoid long-distance travel to games. In cases of Sugar Bowl game this would mean tickets distributed onlv locally in New Orleans and not made available to competing teams for sale at their end. Sincerely hope you can restrict your distribution accordingly as is being done-in cases of other bowl games." TICKET RETURN ASKED NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 7riP Joseph B.

David, president of the Sugar Bowl, announced tonieht had requested the universities nf Tulsa and Tennessee to return all tickets for the New Year's Dav game here in response to a mesi sage from Joseph B. Eastman, de- iense transportation director, saying he wanted no "team followers" tc travel to bowl football games. "We are highly anxious to comply with the transportation director's request," David said in telegrams to Coach John H. Barnhill of Tennessee and Coach Henry Frnka of Tulsa, "and ask that all tickets be returned to us promptly. We feel that you are as anxious as we in complying with Mr.

Eastman's request and will appreciate your immediate attention." David also wired Eastman of the action, adding "be assured of our desire fo co-operate with you and our government to the fullest." Return of the tickets may pose a problem because, some observers believe, many have been sold without written records being kept of the purchasers. Coyotes Book Knight Cagers The Phoenix Union High School basketball schedule yesterday was increased to 12 games with the booking of a game against the St. Mary's Knights January 16 at me coyote gymnasium. A second game may be scheduled with the Knights later, although no definite date has been set. Coach R.

R. Robinson yesterday opened the second week of varsity drills with a squad of 22 players on hand, including a number just released from the football squad. R. V. Zegers, assistant coach, was working with a squad of 17 candidates.

The cagers started with shooting drills which were followed by drills on other fundamentals such as ball-he ndling and footwork. Work on offensive and defensive team play followed while the drills were climaxed with a scrimmage session in which all candidates had a chance to show their wares. The Phoenix coaches expect to sift their material fairly rapidly this week. It will take several days to get a line on some of the players just released from the football squad but the Coyote cage mentors already have a good idea of the individual abilities of the others. Coach Robinson expects to make some preliminary cuts this afternoon, perhaps eliminating some players from consideration and sending others down to the second squad for more seasoning.

Zegers then will be forced to cut his squad to make room for men sent down from the varsity. Transportation difficulties mean that traveling squads will have to be cut to a minimum this season. They will consist of no more than 10 players although a few more boys may be in uniform when the team is at home. Robinson is anxious to get his varsity squad set as soon as possible so that he can concentrate on building a team capable of holding its own in the season ODener against the North High Mustangs (December uecemDer ia.

Sftoed: tog ntej Frosh Ruling, Spring Sports To Be Debated pHICAGO. Dec. 7 (AP) The most critical meeting the Big Ten has experienced since the war began opens tomorrow with the possibility of abandoning the rule which keeps freshmen out of varsity competition foremost on the discussion list.

If the freshman rule is lifted for the duration it will mean the 40 athletic directors and faculty representatives who come here for tomorrow's and Wednesday's sessions feel their schools are faced with the need of making some major change if the athletic program is to survive. Problems Faced Also up for discussion are spring sports, schedules for which are usually drawn up at this winter meeting. The Big Ten chiefs will have to decide first whether to continue these sports, and second, how to arrange schedules to keep pace with the various closing dates of different schools. This problem also will affect two major spring sports Daseoau ana track. Climatic conditions force the scheduling of most baseball games in May and some of the conference schools end their spring semester early that month.

The Big Ten outdoor track meet usually is held late in May. Schedule Delay Seen The matter of 1943 football sched ules will come to the attention of the snorts chiefs, but no action is expected inasmuch as the grid cards still can undergo revision at the spring conference meeting. Some athletic cnieis are expeciea to are-ue that the teen-age selective service will deplete varsity squads to such an extent that the use oi freshmen will be mandatory if full squads are to be maintained. Sports Quit By Colorado BOULDER, Dec. 7 (AP) Colorado University will abandon all intercollegiate athletics during the winter quarter and possimy longer, because of wartime trans portation problems and tne iacK oi facilities for such competition.

Robert L. Stearns, president, made this announcement late today at an all-student assembly commemorating Pearl Harbor Day. Three Sports Affected He said the cancellation of intercollegiate competition will affect basketball, swimming and wrest ling. Colorado's 1943 basketball schedule had been approved only last Saturday at the Mountain States Athletic Conference's winter meet ing in Salt Lake City. Colorado was one of three east ern division schools slated for cage competition.

The others are Colorado State and Wyoming. The winner of an eastern schedule was to meet the western division champion Utah, Utah State or Brigham Young University for the "Mountain Six" title in February. Rigorous Card Planned Stearns said new emphasis will be placed 'on intramural sports, and a rigorous physical education program will be set up to reach every male student on the campus. Calisthenics, rough contact sports and commando exercises will be stressed five days a week. Texan Holds Bowling Lead CHICAGO, Dec.

7 (AP) Buddy Bomar of Houston, maintained his lead today in the 100-man elimination field of the all star bowling tournament, reaching the halfway mark in the preliminaries with total of 3.164 pins. The slim Texan, pace-setter from the start of the meet Saturday, opened mildlv today with a 158 game, but followed up with 170. 221, 182 and 222 for 953 in this third five-game block and an average of 210.9 for the tournament.

Season's Top Grid Thrills Are Recalled a headache but never a bore, lfU2 football season produced prpuii thrills to last the customers th next campaign, even if th'y to wait for it until after trtar. Touchdown runs of 100 yards, inning' kicks and were recalled today in an Press review of the sea- rr-s rrios-t spectacular piays, but prize of the lot was engineered hv 'Frankie Sinkwich and Georgie p'nsrhner of Youngstown. and he University of Georgia. It was in the Alabama game that y.e Bui'ifiogs trailed, 10-0, when the period rolled around. Then p'rehall Frankie opened up with It's rieadlv passes and sparked two! coring drives, each ending with p'oschner making circus catches of! the Sinkwich aerials for touch-j downs.

Sinkwich tossed 13 passes that final period and completed c'ne of them. Miami Game Cited For riip-and-tuck action, Univer-Ptv of Miami fans got their money's worth in the West Virginia game. Miami, leading. 7-6. with four minims Ipft.

intercepted a pass on the nerrv and scored in two plays. That took only a minute and West Virginia fame back to score in three piays, leaving a minute and a half. Then Capt. Russ Coates of Miami Ttiurnpfl the following kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, making the (core 21-13. In four minutes, Ihe ball was 'carried 357 yards by Miami and 104 fcv West Virginia.

'The most daring stunt of the sea-ion, was puiied by Bill Gray, Oregon State renter, in the game with Washincton State. Bob Kennedy of Washington State dropped back to his 16-yard line to punt. Gray nroke through and stole the ball off Kennedy's toe, tucked it against his own tummy and scampered across the goal line. Then there was the Minnesota-Mirhigan game, when the Gophers had the ball with only a second remaining in the first half. Minnesota's Bill Garnaas never had tried a drop-kick in a game, but t)rre wasn't time to set the ball for a place-kick.

So Bill drop-kirked the ball through the uprights and Minnesota won, 16-14. Long Runs Frequent The season was at least the equal of i's predecessor for long runs, yome of which went the length of the field. St. Louis fans saw two ino-yard kickoff returns. Lyle Sturdy of Wichita ran a Washington of St.

Louis kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown and Herman Wills of St. Louis returned one the same distance against Loyoia of Los Angeles. Wills also scored on an 80-yard kickoff return against Washington. Marquette's John Strzykalski duplicated Wills' feat of two touchdowns on kickoffs. running 93 yards against Manhattan and 90 against Iowa State.

Although it was recorded officially as 97 yards, Blondy Black's sprint against Duquesne probably was the longest touchdown run from scrimmage this year. With his ball on his own three, the Mississippi State back stood deep in the end zone as if to punt, but elected to run and went all the way. Other High-Lights Named Other scoring plays from scrimmage saw Tony DiMatteo of Pitt go 98 vards against Minnesota. Eddy Mr-Govern of Rose Poly 97 against. Wabash and Bruce Smith of Great Lakes 92 against Marquette.

There were several spectacular Tuns on pass interceptions. Jack Wink of Wisconsin snagged a Great Lakes pass in the end zone and Rent the distance to score. Johnny Ziecler of Colorado pulled same stunt against Colorado Mines. Other long runs resulting in scores on intercepted passes included 99 yards hy Cullen Rogers of Texas A and against Arkansas, 96 yards by Win Wright of Cornell against Army and 55 yards by Clint Castleberry cf Georgia Tech against Navy. Punt returns for touchdowns were as numerous as ever, but a pair of 92-yard scoring runs took honors in that department.

They were by Fred Jacob of Rice against Arkansas and Jim Dewar of Indiana against Butler. Bill Colpman of Baylor ran one back 91 jards to score against Texas Tech. Sinkwich and his mates had no monopoly on the passing thrills, although Frankie once hooked up with Lamar Davis on an 89-yard pass-run for perhaps the longest eerial scoring play of the year. Don Currivan of Boston College took a 15-yard pass from Mickey Connolly end sprinted 30 additional yards for the touchdown that beat 'orth Carolina Preflight. Tim Hoopes of Yale, whose 52-yard scoring dash beat Princeton, also raught a 17-yard pass and ran 44 yards for the winning marker against Harvard.

Virgil Ei ken berg of Rice hurled touchdown pass to Windell which traveled 58 yards in the air and a Lamar Blount- Ker-mit Davis pass carried 58 yards and scored for Mississippi State.

Dec. 7 (AP For the second successive year the big bad Bears from Chicago dominate the All-League professional football team chosen by Associated Press and newspaper sports writers. The powerful team that George Halas built to rule the pro game placed five men on this 1942 All-League line-up, one more than it New Year's Bowl Choices Are Named By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK. Dec. 7 (UP) Just to give the customers a break, if there are any customers left, after the way we murdered those weekly selections, we'll pick the New Year's Day bowl winners for you today so you know which teams not to bet on.

Giving them to you quickly: Rose Bowl Georgia over UCLA. Cotton Bowl Georgia Tech over Texas. Sugar Bowl Tulsa over Tennessee. Orange Bowl Boston College over Alc.bama. Sun Bowl Second Air Force over Hardin-Simmons.

You'll notice that our Rose Bowl selection is a double-barreled spe cial. UCLA has a week-end stint to perform before it can play host at the Tournament of Roses. It must knock off those improved Trojans from the University of Southern California to gain the gravy train and UCLA is our se lection come Saturday. But if Southern Cal does beat them out for the trip to Pasadena, we still like Georgia. Sinkwich Is Story The principal reason, outside of the fact that we come from a long line of carpetbaggers, is that Georgia has that Frankie Sinkwich and it's to bet your hard-earned dough on the opposition.

Old Flatfoot has been a bowl terror to date, as TCU can testify from its Orange Bowl date of last January 1, and don't think he's going to stop in his swan song. Georgia Tech we like because Clint Castleberry, the Ramblin' Wreck's freshman star, just had another lesson from this same Sink wich and should turn the tide. Then, too, the Engineers lost only one game to Sinkwich and company. But then the Longhorns lost only two. Tulsa, sparked by galloping Glenn Dodds, appears to have just too many guns for the Vols of Tennessee.

But the chief reason we like the Golden Hurricane is that Henry Frnka's lads have been aching all season for a crack at a "name" team to show the doubting Thomases that this little Mizzou valley team can play in the major leagues. That will be the winning inspiration. Eagles' Comeback Seen Boston College's clash with Alabama will send two of the biggest lines in the nation whaling into each other. It should be one of the best games of the day. The New England Eagles lost a lot of reputation when they faded in their final game and were walloped by Holy Cross, 55-12.

It still has the football crowd dizzy, trying to figure out what happened to a team that was rated first in the nation on the strength of nine impressive triumphs. But, brother, watch them come The backfield, sparked by plunging Mike Holovak, All-America fullback, ought to swing the tide against the Tide. The Second Air Force team from the state of Washington appears to have too many professionals for the Cowboys to rope in the Sun Bowl. There they are men, take 'em apart. They should give you your second straight hangover when you wake up the day after January 1.

A's Release Four Players PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7 (AP) The Philadelphia Athletics announced today the outright release of Outfielder Mike Kreevich and Infielders Bill Knickerbocker, Eric McNair and Larry Eschen. It was a first step in Connie Mack's avowed program to rebuild for 1943. The A's manager, who will be 80 December 23, said, "They were not much help to us. I've other men to take their places.

We hope to get somewhere next year, you know." Mack also revealed that Louis (Buddy) Blair, Athletics third baseman, is about to be called by tne army. Knickerbocker and McNair were 10-year men and entitled to become free agents, but Kreevich had only eight years in the majors and fe.scnen was picked up from the St. Lawrence University campus last summer. Mack said the infield spots would be filled by Eddie Mayo, drafted from Los Angeles; Dick Atkins, bought from the A's Wilmington farm club; Irving Hall, rookie from Williamsport. and Pete Suder.

7 (AP) Amos Rusie, 71 years old, one of early-day baseball's big-time pitchers who hurled the New York Giants to a world championship in 1894, died at a local hospital yesterday. His wife died two months ago. Rusie was a native of Mooresville. and he began his professional baseball career in 1888 when John T. Brush signed him to pitch for Indianapolis in the National League.

After pitching there, Rusie was sold to the New York Giants, and for 12 years he was a mainstay of the Giant club. It was during his stay with the Giants that John McGraw, then a player with the Baltimore Orioles, made the statement about Rusie's fast ball that "you can't hit 'em if you can't see 'em." Fame Hits Peak As Rusie's fame increased, cocktails were named for him, and Lillian Russell, then a Broadway favorite, asked that she be introduced to the young diamond star. In 1890, when the pitcher's box was 10 '4 feet nearer the plate than it is now, Russie struck out 345 batters in one season's play. It was three years later that the box was moved back. So smoking hot was his fast ball that many fans insisted he didn't throw the ball part of the time, merely going through the motions.

Hurls For Reds From the Giants Rusie went to the Cincinnati Reds where he wound up his baseball career. Several years ago the old htirler showed up at the Polo Grounds in New York and McGraw, then the manager of the Giants, took him on as a special officer at the park. He subsequently moved to Seattle where he established a chicken farm. He had never fully recovered irom tne ettects oi an automobile accident 10 years ago.

DON HUTSON, End Green Bay Packers Tests Faced By Mustangs North Phoenix High School's cagers face the acid test this weekend, meeting two of the toughest prep outfits in the valley when they tace the Tolleson Wolverines Friday night and the Tempe Buffaloes Saturday night both at the Mustang gymnasium. In the past three years the Wild Horses have taken two of three games with Tolleson, traditional season opener, hut have been trimmed twice in three contests with the Buffs. North Phoenix edged Tolleson, 27-26, when the Mustangs inaugurated basketball three years ago, and eked out a 31-27 victory the next year. Last season Tolleson's powerful aggregation toppled the Mustangs, 40-34. in an overtime thriller on the Wolverine court.

Tempe won the opener between the two schools, scoring a 29-27 victory in 1940, and eked out a 28-26 decision in 1941. North Phoenix took last year's game, 32-25. Tolleson's feat in upsetting the veteran Peoria club. 33-28, last week seems to establish the Wolverines as the more serious threat of the two this year and the Mustangs are concentrating on that game, particularly as it is a West Central Conference contest while thevTempe game is an interdistrict affair. Vernon Perkins, forward, and T.

J. Turner, guard, are the only let-termen returning from last year's squad but Hank Jones, former Tempo Bulldog star, who is coaching the Wrolverines this year, seems to have built a fine team out of green material. The feat is particularly creditable as both veterans were reserves much of last season, although Turner won a regular job before tournament time. The Wolverines usually play a very free-wheeling variety of basketball, raining shots at the hoop from any place on the floor. Judging by the Peoria game, this year's team is following that tradition, with Perkins and Richard Best, junior forward, leading the scoring.

Players Veto Grid Play-Off; Coyotes Pick Top Opponents Players of both the Phoenix Union and North Phoenix High School squads yesterday voted down the suggestion that they take part in a state football play-off to decide the prep title, now jointly held by the Coyotes, the Mustangs and the Tucson Badgers. Both squads have lost key players since the close of the grid season but the chief factor in their decision was the feeling that 10 games is enough football for one season. Basketball is under way at both schools and members of the grid squads were reluctant to forfeit their chances of making their cage teams by prolonging the grid season.

In their final meeting of the year the members of the Coyote squad named an all-opponent team. The Bakersfield. Drillers and the North Phoenix Mustangs led with three players each. The Alhambra, Moors placed two men while one each was named from Superior, Yuma and Tucson-.
