THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 26, 1935. f3 Will FRANK HELP TO RECRUIT MAINTOPIC Rules Certain to Come in for Discussion; McGuginPlan By BOB CAVAGNARO NEW YORK, Dec. 25 lego athletics in general and foot ball in particular will command the attention of 500 coaches and sports leaders from all parts of tho coun try here in a 3-day meeting start Ing tomorrow. Official bodies which will be in aession include the National Collegiate Athletic association, the Football Coaches' association, the Track Coaches' association, Physical Education and Student Health associations and the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. The general welfare of the college athlete will come in for a major -share of discussion.

One of the principal topics will be an appraisa of the new deal proposed by the southeastern conference, grouping together 13 of the oldest and biggest colleges in the deep south. Frankness Criticised This group already has adopted ft system whereby athletes will receive financial or scholarship assistance openly and above board on the same basis as any other student This step, a drastic advance in an attempt to deal with a situation in which the facts are well known but rarely admitted, is virtually certain to meet with sharp criticism. The southeastern association's plan will come up for discussion at a round table which will be conducted by Dean E. L. Mercer of the University of Pennsylvania.

The question of subsidization and recruiting was gone into thoroughly at last year's sessions, which produced a "nine point" program branding as "unjustifiable" any monetary subsidies for athletes. Football rules and regulations will be taken up by coaches of the sport. Agitation already has been started to bring goal posts back to the goal line chiefly with a view to stimulate the apparently lost art of field-goal kicking and to give these artists the same opportunity to split the uprights that kickers have in professional football. Three-Point Revision Dan McGugin, who spent 30 years coaching at Vanderbilt, is coming up from the south with a three- point proposal. He (1) set up a standard pena'lty for interference with pass receivers rather than give the ball to the offensive team where the interference occurred; (2) provide a penalty for roughing the passer just as the kicker is protected by a penalty; (3) reduce the penalty on the offensive team, when a pass strikes an ineligible receiver.

"I'd say a 15-yard penalty for pass interference would be sufficient," McGugin said. "The interference rule as it now stands puts the outcome of the game too much in the hands of the officials." The spectator, mainly the football variety, will come in for a share of the discussion. The Sportsmanship brotherhood will discuss this phase of sports at a luncheon tomorrow. Destruction of the goal posts in the Yale-Dartmouth and Yale-Princeton contests before the games were over and excessive drinking provoked this topic for the luncheon. While proposed rule changes and discussion of the southeastern conference's subsidization plan probably will command the spotlight, the report of'the football rules committee is one of the major items on the N.

C. A. A. program because of the increase of deaths and injuries on the nations' gridirons. The meetings will close Saturday night, as usual, with the annual football coaches' dinner, featured by the award of the "brown derby" for the telling of the best story.

Herrera Wins Nod In Feldman Fight PITTSBURGH, Dec. 25 The veteran Tony Herrera fought viciously today to win a unanimous decision over Lew Feldman, New York Jewish boxer, who defeated the flashy Mexican here ten days ago. Herrera, who weighed 137, stung Feldman in the fifth with a sharp right and in the sixth set his opponent down for a one count. The New Yorker weighed 333. Ice Skaters Compete In St.

of Chicago. The winter horse racing season, running from Florida through Louisiana and Texas, to California, will result in distribution of more than New Pocket Billiard King Showing: Jimmy Caras of Wilmington, who, by defeating Erwin Rudolph, gained the world's pocket billiards championship. Rudolph, several times champion and a veteran tournament player, had been accorded best chance to take the honors, but Caras, with a remarkable display of skill, tied Rudolph in the final game of the regular schedule and defeated him in the playoff. Ten contestants part. Princeton System By LAWRENCE PERRY Special to The Salt Lake Tribune (Copyright, 1935) NEW YORK, Dec.

financial report for the fiscal year 1934-1935 was not as impressive as the printed returns of the 1935-193G period will be, a. prospect due to football receipts greater than ever which flowed into old Nassau's coffers last autumn. But the money will go as fast as it came in because of repairs to the Palmer stadium and University field, long overdue and other outlays for repair and betterment. Additional payments are required if the present system of intramural and nonproductive ntercollegiate sports is to be continued. Obviously, Princeton wishes to maintain the scale of income realized last fall.

Commitments for games with Army, always a drawing card, as well as a trend toward intersectionali- ism, show this. Whether or not Nassau continues to have champion teams, it is quite likely that, with her fine coaching system and the tendency of youth to affiliate itself with successful and colorful coaches, the Tigers will be proficient and play attractive football in defeat or in victory. In the last analysis, it will remain for the alumni to say whether they like or disapprove of the new order of athletic administration at Princeton. Disapproving, they have to finance many sports which otherwise will be paid for mainly out of gridiron earnings; either that or these sports will be cast aside. You can spend a pleasant hour talking with Jimmy Braddock in his modest little bungalow in Jersey.

With money flowing in and means available to build quite a swanky domicile, or to occupy an mposmg apartment somewhere, the champion and his family are quite content to remain in the old home, thus applying the money Jimmy is now earning and expects to earn to the hatching of a sizable nest egg. Modest and likeable is the Braddock family, and all those who wish them well at this happy season may be assured hey are taking care that everything shall be well now and in the uture. Those who like Frankie Parker and viewed with regret his announced decision to school and apply himself exclusively to the task of improving his tennis, notably his forehand, will be pleased to learn that the boy has reconsidered and is back in Law- renccville, studying- as hard as an ambitious young man should. No championship Frankie might ever win will be as valuable to him as the stuff him which caused him to decide to make a play for more important things than tennis victories. Bill O'Brien sings a sweet siren hard for any tennis player to resist.

They say he piped a melody whose burden was $15,000 for a summer campaign to the dynamic and colorful Bitsy Grant of Georgia, and that Bitsy was so well sat- isfied with his amateur status that while he listened to the tune, he did not give it any least not to the extent of deserting the simon-pures. It is whispered that Bitsy is a certain prospect for Davis cup recognition next summer. theN wY ri-- wl verc Damped the other the New York university court five say that the art of bas- etball on the west coast is still in its infancy; a fact they did not eahzc until they watched the Violet sharpshoo crs Michigan may have had a poor football season, but or charnpionsmps in swimming, track and hockey nS ketball Ann Arbor concerning wrestling and bas- fhit th question "Constant Reader," we beg to ad- him that he is correct in his idea that of all the nationq in volved in the Olympic games, the U.

EAST TEAM LOSES ACE; CRUICE OUT Halfback Suffers Dislocated Knee; West Squad Also Hit SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25 Walt Cruice of Northwestern dislocated a knee in Christmas day scrimmage at Berkeley, and the injury probably will keep him on the bench during the innual East-West charity football game here New Year's day. Dick Crayne, University of Iowa fullback, will be shifted to Cruice's post at right half, Coaches Andy Kerr and Dick Hanley said. The East aggregation fortunately brought three fullbacks this year in a 9-man backfield group. At Palo Alto, the fourth minor casualty occurred for the Wes team when Abe Shper, University of Washington guard, pulled a lef leg muscle.

Hospital attendants said he probably could rejoin the line in three or four days. Diclf Sklar, University of Kansas guard was out of play today with a bruised shoulder. The West squad held only a general practice session, knocking off for the day In time to attend a 1 p. m. Christmas party given by the Shrine.

All the players exchanged 25-cent presents, "and each was presented with the wrist watcl which has become the traditiona gift of the Shrine to the charity players. East team members were given theirs last night at a party in Oakland. Scrimmage of the East players which lost them services of their right half was with an independent Oakland team. The backfield combination for an hour and a half oi strenuous work was made up ol FUley Smith, quarterback; Sheldon Beise, fullback; Cruice, at right half, and Dick Heekin at left half GRIDPROS SIGN UP TO PLAY LIONS LINCOLN, Dec. 25 (Link) Lyman, assistant varsity football coach at the University oi Nebraska and former professions "ootball player, announced tonight 19 players, himself, have signed to play with his all-star against the Detroit Lions at Denver New Year's day.

Lyman said practices will begin at Denver Saturday morning, and the ilayers will work out twice daily until they meet the Detroit team, champions of the national professional league, on January 1. The Nebraska coach, who played pro ball for more than 10 years, said Don Hutson, former star Ala- iama end now playing with the Green Bay Packers, probably would play with his team, although he has not signed a contract yet. Hutson was on the receiving end of Dixie Lowell's passes that blasted Stanford out of the Rose Bowl last year.

Using straight football, the Trojans marched 80 yards to a touchdown in the first period and 02 yards 'or another score in the second quarter, amassing a lead which was unchallenged.

U. S. C. capitalized three times on breaks, converting them into rapid scoring thrusts to complete touchdown parade. Kamehameha threatened constantly with its aerial attack, but was ineffective in scoring territory.

Borotra Battles Government Over Tax Levy on Net Club E. C. Quiglcy, who has served as baseball umpire in the National league for 22 years, is also an arbiter on the basketball floor as well as on the football gridiron. PARIS, Dec. 25 French courts are scheduled to decide Friday whether tennis tournaments should be included in the category of taxable public amusements.

This situation developed recently when Jeun Borotra, the irrepressible bounding Basque of international Davis cup fame, was called upon by the city public welfare commission in connection with charges brought against the Tennis club of Paris for failure to pay francs of taxes during the pnst three years. Borotra is the president of the club. The commission contends that tennis matches became spectacles once the public is invited to attend and entrance fees are demanded. The veteran player claimed exemption from the poor tax, which is imposed on all public amusements in France, on the grounds that the matches and tournaments held in the Tennis club of Paris nre not public amusements. "The purpose of these tournaments," Borotra's attorney told the court at a preliminary hearing, "is to stimulate emulation among younger players, permit their classification in national rankings and prepare them for international matches." Joe Louis Earns $371,645 In Eighteen-month Career Sensational Climb of Detroit Negro to Fame and Fortune Amazes Sports World.

DETROIT, Dec. 25 to get rich in the boxing business," the unwritten story of Joe Louis' rise to wealth with a pair of leather boxing gloves, would be among the best sellers of 1936 if the brown bomber of Detroit should suddenly turn author. Statisticians here quit counting' Louis' unbroken string of ring victories to check up on the wealth he has accumulated in the 18 months of his professional career, and their calculations indicate that the heavyweight sensation has collected $371,645 for 26 ring appearances. They figured out that Louis has cleaned up at the rate of $3318 a round and stands in a fair way to name his own price now for every fight where he is to be the drawing card. Louis started out as a preliminary fighter in Chicago on July 1934, after a brief but successful turn through the amateur ranks.

That first $50 was given him for knocking out Jack Kracken. His second fight brought him $60 and the promoters paid him $75 for his Tropical park in Coral Gables, Fla. Both scored their first win of the third. Quick knockouts, plus the ring cunning' he displayed in his early engagements, brought him increasing prominence and increasing purses in the fight game, and in November, 1934, he jumped Into the $300 class for knocking out Stanley Poreda at Chicago. That was the tipoff that Louis was coming up through the heavyweights with a rush, and two weeks after the Poreda scrap he received 51000 for beating Charley Massera Pittsburgh.

Louis' purses began increasing by $2000 and $3000 after his first fight Lee Ramage In Chicago, and suddenly jumped to $44,000 for lis knockout victory over Primo urnera in New York. The Brown Bomber hit the top of his 1935 earnings when he took 5215,375 out of the Max Baer fight New York, the bout that, brought sack the golden days of the Rickard-Dempsey era. Louis' earnings, of course, are not net. There is a split with his managers and training expenses. But the $50 preliminary boy of 18 months ago i.s riding in a motor car as big as a fire engine now, and the boxing moguls who have litn under contract are looking for richer gates tVian Tex Rickard ever knew.

Jockeys Add ins NEW YORK, Dec. 25 UP)--Jockeys Charley Stevenson and Wayne Wright rode two winners apiece today with the result that Apprentice Stevenson continued to lead Wright by seven victories in the battle for 1935 riding honors. Stevenson booted home two at the fair grounds in New Orleans, while Wright registered his double at day in the third race and then Wright stole a jump momentarily by ringing the bell again in the fifth, but Stevenson squared it up in the sixth. Stevenson rode W. A.

Mikel's heavily backed Catwalk to victory in the third race and then jockeyed Miss A. Marlman's Oican to the wire first in the featured sixth race, a $1500 handicap for all ages at one mile and 70 yards. Oican, a much improved 3-year- old dark brown gelding, ran behind the leaders up to the stretch and then, responding to Stevenson's urging, thundered to the front and finished a length ahead of Mrs. J. R.

Gregory's Thomasville, S. J. Molay's Fire Advance was third. The winner, coupled with two others in the field, paid $12.80 for a $2 mutuel ticket. After Wright brought home James Boy, a long shot at $27.60 for $2 in the third race at Tropical park, he gave the holiday throng another thrill when he piloted Golden Rock II to victory in the fifth race by three lengths for his 189th triumph of the year.

Finnish and Hungarian fans were the first to buy all the Olympic tickets allotted to their respective countries. FAST LADS APPEAR ON ARENA BILL Kunkel, Esles Repeat; Bennett, Mueller in Semifinal Filled with Christmas cheer and preparing for a Happy New Year's, arena grapplers are expected to put their best foot forward Friday night. There will be four bouts on the card, two of them two-fallers. In tho main event Del Kunkel and Balk Estes will appear in a return match. Two weeks ago these accomplished grapplera gave a remarkably interesting performance, and there is no reason to doubt that they will repeat.

Del won the only fall of a two-fall match after 56 minutes of superfine wrestling. George Bennett, a speedy young athlete from Oklahoma, is booked with the crafty Lou Mueller in the other two-fall event. Bennett showed to advantage in a match last week. Hy Sharman and Wildcat McCann are scheduled for a one-fall setto. The clawing McCann, in spite of his disregard for rules, is pretty much of a favorite with local fans.

Felix Jadwinski, a Russian, is the latest importation into Utah mat- dom. According to information received by Promoter Verne McCullough, Felix is by way of being a pretty clever grappler. He meets Jerry Hollis, Seattle light heavy, who showed here several weeks ago. Women will be admitted free, announces the promoter. Ettore Wins Decision in Smith Scrap PHILADELPHIA, Dec.

25 Al Ettore, up-and-coming Philadelphia heavyweight, outpointed Ford Smith, cowboy puncher from Montana, in 10 rounds at the arena today. Ettore made it anything but a "merry Christmas" for the "Giant- killer" from tho west, winning about as he pleased and staying on the aggressive from start to finish. Tho blond Philadelphian, who scaled 191, giving away 19 pounds to his ahead in every round except the ninth, and in that frams he stayed even. Six thousand fans turned out for the holiday card. Smith's gameness featured his side of the battle.

At times his knees buckled from the power behind Ettore's barrage. His lips were cut, but he never stopped trying, although his efforts were to little avail. He confined his attack mainly to tho body, occasionally shooting a righ-hand uppercut in close. Ettore piled up wide margins in the third, sixth, seventh and tenth. He rocked Smith with right hand smashes and hard left hooks, but his over-anxiousness to send over the finish punch kept him from flooring the Montanan.

Smith rallied In the last minute of the ninth round and stung the Philadelphian with several rights to the head. But it was his final gesture. In the tenth they stood toe- to- toe and slugged, but Smith was too tired to put much steam behind his punches by that time. Leroy Haynes, husky Los Angeles heavyweight, stopped Willie Reddish, Philadelphia, in the second round of the semiwindup. Benny Bass, 134, former world's featherweight titleholder, knocked out Johnny Craven, 138, Conshohocken.

with a right hand punch ind the second round of the main preliminary.
