the National Association rules and, although the action met with loud protest, it carried through. With Bramham re-elected, the wind was taken out of the George Trautman-Frank Shaughnessy sails. Trautman, American Association president, had been instructed to vote for Shaughnessy against Bramham, but the high pressuring by these two vain leagues could not stand up. The whole thing was regarded by independent owners like Mike Kelley of Minneapolis and Bill Veeck of Milwaukee as an attempt by baseball chain stores to push their own wills through. Baseball leaders lose hard, Bramham, presiding, overruled a previous ruling by himself on the right of the disenfranchised leagues to ballot.

Landis and Bramham consistently have fought for the little fellows, the former is notoriously an anti-farm ownership man and the big guys don't like it.

Hence the move to build a fire under the old Jedge. Meanwhile St Paul may have a new manager, for Salty Parker faces a draft call and Ray Blades, Fresco Thompson and Bruno Betzel have been mentioned as possible appointees by Branch Rickey, Dodger chief.

What fight there is simmering under the diamond fire now. will be directed at Judge Landis as baseball commissioner, but there cannot be the danger that would have prevailed had Frank Shaughnessy, International league president, been elected to Bramham's post. Along with Bramham's re-election for five years was the granting of voting privileges to the 16 minor leagues who did not operate last summer. Despite the fact that they still were paying dues to their group, the powerful American Association and International league did not want them to vote.

An infamous plan, whereby the double A leagues would have so many votes, the A-l leagues fewer votes and the Class and leagues would dwindle down to one vote, failed to materialize. A roll call was taken at the opening of the meeting today and it defeated a resolution to prevent the suspended circuits from voting along with the nine leagues still operating.

Mitchell, shortly after being named honorary captain, WAS INFORMED THAT HE HAD BEEN CHOSEN BY IHS MATES AS THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER ON THE SQUAD IN THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE POLL. Ed Lechner passed the traditional torch to Mitchell to wind up the football convocation In Northrop Auditorium. The highlight of the talks was President Coffey's tribute to the boys in which he said "the game of football deserves to be kept alive and I don't know of any team in Minnesota's history that deserved more credit and appreciation for carrying on this season." More honors were heaped upon Paul Mitchell, Minnesota's outstanding tackle, today following his selection as honorary captain of the 1943 Gophers.

He was invited by George Hauser, one of the coaches of the East-West team, to 'play tackle in the annual Shrine game in San Francisco New Year's day.

He was referring to criticism levelled at him by Minnesota men immediately after Saturday's game on the field when he was told "it was ridiculous to expect boys just out of high school to put up a good game against men five to 10 years their senior and with that much additional grid experience." One Gopher leader said his school would make no answer for he could see no good reason for continuing a long distance letter writing duel. He pointed out that Minnesota will not continue relations with the Seahawks, that being the school's answer to the situation.

De La Salle. QAPTAIN DAVID HANRAHAN, one of salty old navy men who is commandant at the Iowa City pre-flight school, apparently is a little mad at Minnesota. That isn't a surprise for exchange of letters during recent weeks between him and Gopher athletic bosses have given him a good opportunity to get worked up. His verbal altercation with Minnesota men after Saturday's game didn't cool him off one bit. Now he offers an official statement in which he blasts "irresponsible misrepresentation by some of the press and allegedly by officials of the University of Minnesota." He unitoubtedly refers to the announcement out of the Gopher athletic office Monday that relations between the two institutions would be severed because the Seahawks used officers and professionals in Saturday's game.

If printing such a fact is out of line then newspapers aren't fulfilling their obligations to their readers for the Gophers definitely announced that there would be no more games with 4his navy team. Furthermore if newspapermen didn't report the fact that the Seahawks were officially charged with playing too rough and that the spectators booed their activities on the field they wouldn't be accepted for long as good reporters. Where Captain Hanrahan's statement lays himself wide open conies when he says: "Use of officers proved that these young men are made of the stuff from which will be fashioned the great pilots of our navy." As we understand it (and we get our information from the navy men themselves) the officers who have played football for the Seahawks this year and last never will be fliers. -They are experts in athletics and recreational activities. As such they instruct cadets who actually will be the navy's fliers in the future.

If football makes better cadets, maybe all of the pre- flight teams should restrict their lineups to such men. There is no use in continuing this argument. Minnesota has taken its stand and the matter is closed. Where the Gophers were wrong was in not insisting on a provision in the contract with the Seahawks that officers couldn't be used as some other schools did. it it Glovers Are in Shape pHE GOLDEN GLOVE NOVICE TOURNAMENT which is raging to a close tonight and tomorrow night at the De LaSalle gymnasium furnishes ample proof how anxious growing youngsters are for sports competition of all kinds.

A record novice entry of more than 100 started fighting Monday night to extend the affair into four sessions. But just as pleasing is the fact that these youngsters are in such fine physical condition, probably the best in the history of this meet. They also in a very short time of training have picked up a lot of knowledge about how to handle themselves in th-e ring. If you love boxing, you'll make a mistake by not dropping in to see these novices the two closing nights. it it it Made of Right Stuff QEORGE HAUSER, LOU KELLER AND OTHERS in the Minnesota football department are doing a good job these days praising the enthusiasm and determination of the young and inexperienced gridders on their squad who never let their spirit fade despite terrific handicaps.

But we believe that one definite point in the schedule should be specified in this connection. That Is the way the Gophers came back from the decisive Michigan and Northwestern routs to play the grand game they did against Purdue. Coming back with the boys on the train from Evanston we felt almost certain from their conversation and their general attitude that the season was as good as over. IF WE EVER DETECTED SIGNS OF A COMPLETE COLLAPSE IN ANY COLLEGE ATHLETIC SQUAD, WE THOUGHT WE SAW THEM THEN. But, from the time they got home and resumed serious practice on Tuesday, the boys showed that they were made of the right stuff.

They entered into their drills with a zest that actually was quite surprising to sideliners. They actually played their second best game of the year against the Boilermakers. They were deprived of a deserved tie that would have given them unexpected national recognition as a reward for their patience and hard work. Even that bad break that brought plenty of tears from the athletes in the dressing rooms after the game didn't affect them. They stayed in there and pitched through the remaining tilts with Iowa, Wisconsin and the Seahawks.

They did sag a little against the Badgers, but that was understandable. The Badgers had such a pathetic record prior to their appearance here that it was impossible to make the Gophers fear or worry about this foe. They rallied again after that one to make a good losing stand against the Seahawks. The altitude of the boys made the entire season worth while and justified the school's decision to carry on the schedule during wartimes.

Excelsior, Mound Reign Lake Cage Favorites By JIM BYRNE Lake conference basketball teams begin playing for keeps this Friday with four of the seven teams playing loop contests. Each team is scheduled to play 10 conference games.

And believe it or not Hopkins is not rated as one of the favorites. Butsy Maetzold, coach of the Purple, and Wally Zim-mermann of St. Louis Park are singing nothing but the blues these days as they get ready to send their teams into action this week. Park opens at Mound with Hopkins going into Ihe YYayzala gym. Coaches around the loop lean towards Excelsior, Mound, and Robbinsdale as the teams to watch out for this season.

Excelsior appeared very strong against St Paul Wilson last week with its Paul Lundsten, center, Paul Stark, forward, and Don Kent, guard all up from football, shaping the starting cage five. Spencer and Sampson at for-wards, Don Welford, center, and Reiss and Tom Rode at guards probable starters. Dick Culshaw is the only returning regular in Hopkins' starting lineup. Hopkins does have height, even though it is without experience. Watch for the Purple to start rolling strong before the title is decided.

Excelsior, University High, and Robbinsdale draw byes this week. Mound appears to have too much for St. Louis Park this time. Coach Francis Loomer of Mound will have Paul Lindholm, a six-foot-four lad and only regular from last year, starting at center. Bill Hankee, the fullback, and Carl Jackson will be at forwards, with Johnny Skinner and John Friden at guards.

Skinner, Hankee and Jackson are Icttermen. St. Louis Park will be aiming to slop Mound with Doug ALL'S WRIGHT WITH THE BASKETBALL world when Bill is in fr action for the Gophers these days.
