snn Thursday 'SALTY' PARKER TO MANAGE SAINT NINE Big Ten Lead on Frosh SOUTH BEND, Notre Dame will eliminate the rule barring freshman from varsity sports competition just ns soon as the Big Ten conference takes similar action, lt was, announced Thursday by the Rev. John Cavanaugh, C.S.C., chairman of the Notre Dame faculty board in control of athletics. Father Cavanaugh exained Notre Dame is committed to a policy nf following Western Conference rules on eligibility since the Irish compete so often against Big Ten schools. It was implied in Chicago Thuisday that th put pne nf the Big Ten meeting in Chicago Sunday was to rescind the freshmen rule. US GEORGE A.

BARTON (A frn hy the pinrh-hitlmj MorniitQ Tribune pnrt nialf.l JHE BIG TEN definitely will be at the crossroads when its delegates assemble at the Chicago University club Sunday morning to discuss some "momentous'' subject. Either it again will vote down freshmen participation, and thus LOSE MORE CASTE as the dominant collegiate athletic organization in the country. Or, it will vote freshmen participation and thus win hack some of the prestige it has lost. From a University of Minnesota source that, for obvious jealous prefers to remain anonymous, comes new twist on the Big Ten's laggard attitude toward giving the youngster an athletic break before they move into the tervice. That twist if the jralousy shown hy some of the schools, the fear that some school might get a little better of the bargain.

Some of the schools work on a three-semester idea, some on a two-term plan. The jealousy rests in the fear that, because of that difference In term lengths, some of the schools might get sn advantage in athletic eligibility. You must admit It is a decidedly selfish attitude and should have no place in a conference as established and supposedly as altruistic as the Big Ten. It's hoped that the conference, given a new opportunity, will MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION AND THUS SAVE SOME SEMBLANCE OF FACE. Krause Logical rpHE NAME of Ed (Moose) Krause arises as probable successor to George Keogan, whose death Wednesday night came as a distinct shock to all of his local friends.

It must be admitted the choice not only is logical one. but most desirable. Krause ha all the attribute! for successful coach. While at St. Mary's, he was recognized as one of the most accomplished and popular coaches In the state.

A brilliant all around athlete himself, he has the faculty of transmitting his own experiences to the benefit of his charges. He would make an ideal choice to carry on Keogan's phenomenal success. He Means Business TT BEGINS to look as though the National Professional Football league is paying off on another former Notre Dame man, Elmer Layden. He doesn't command the fancy salary baseball is paying Commissioner Landis, but to date, he has done more toward fostering football's continuation in the war-time sports picture than the Commissioner has for baseball. It didn't take Layden very long, for instance, to move right into Washington and see what he could do to carry the torch for professional football.

And already he has come up with what looks like a workable plan for continuation of professional football if the government gives him the go-ahead signal. In fact, football appears in a better position than baseball, because the pro gridders usually play- only once a week, and then on Sundays. They could continue in war work of some nature, work out to keep in satisfactory trim, and play their schedules as usual. But if professional football does continue, you can give Elmer Layden and his tireless and conscientious efforts most of the credit Stecher a Builder UNLIKE SOME local promoters, Tony Stecher, wrestling impresario, is doing the best he can with the tools at hand, in keeping with the famous marine slogan. When it appeared that wrestling might have to close its doors because so many of the bone-breakers were in defense work and taking mat jobs only within grunting and groaning distance of the war work, he started developing local talent.

He did a pretty lair job of re. building wrestling with a person named Bronko Nagurski. Now he's working toward the same conclusion through a different approach, building up a scries of lecal favorites rather than one. In other words he's building a lot of little fires to ignite wrestling interest instead of concentrating on one big blaze, and it's not bad judgment these days. to Follow CHICAGO LOSES AGAIN, 70-33 ROCKFORD, Camp basketball team handed the University of Chicago its T.llh consecutive defeat Thursday night, 70 to A total of 13 players fig-lured in the scoring for Camp Giant, which led at halftime.
