"I know that several high schools have abandoned the sport because newly-appointed coaches were former football, track or basketball stars and knew nothing and cared less about baseball. This alone will put off the day when baseball will make a scholastic comeback." "Without a team to follow, where are the youngsters going to learn baseball?" Carr asked, adding that rabid fans dont get that way after they grow up. The game, he said, is almost entirely dependent on high school and college boys, not to mention the sand-lotters from which Babe Ruths and Lefty Groves often emerge. Benton Harbor Represented By Two Clubs: Rosen- thaw rhnirmnn (Special to The News-Palladium) BRIDOMAN, Jan.

26 Berrien county baseball leaders met here last night and considered plans for the organization of a league in 1933. Although no definite steps were taken, the leaders left the session confident that headway was made and that they will bo able to co-operate, both for the good of themselves and the national pastime in the county. The following towns were repre sented at the parley: Benton Harbor, two clues, the Cookson Drugs and All-Stars, Bridgman, Berrien Springs, New Troy, Sawyer, Niles, Coloma and Buchanan Roaenthaw Chairman "Rosey" Roaenthaw, of Bridgman and a newcomer to the game in these parts, was named chairman of last night's session. The new chairman in turn appointed a committee including "Chief" Coughlin, Berrien Springs; Lewland Crawford, New Troy; Patrick Welsh, Nilea; and Charles Reem-er of Buchanan to work with him in drafting the by-laws and rules for the organization. The committee will meet here next Monday and draft the rules, which wll be presented to the club owners and managers within the next two weeks.

In times like these, when every night of play seems to tighten up the races in the league's two divisions, those qualities often are the same the most valuable player is the one who can be depended upon to do his job on the ice without getting any penalties. The latest scoring and penalty records of the league, covering Sunday's games, reveal a select group of such players, all of whom will see action in tonight's games.

Chicago's aces. Doc Romnes and Johnny Qottsleig. and young Qua Forslund of Ottawa, have scored more than 10 points each this season without having been penalized at all. Among their rivals for clean play honors are Frank Boucher and Cecil Dillon of the New York Rangers, even higher scorers, who are listed as having served four minutes each. Carl Voss of Detroit, Joe Prlmeau of Toronto and Cooney well and of Ottawa are In the same group, with such stars as Howie Morenz of the Montreal Cana-dlens, Rabbltt McVeigh of the New York Americans, Harry Oliver and Red Beattie of Boston and Waiter Buswell of Detroit coming in close behind.

Faee Possible Change An Interesting comparison of such players comes up tonight as the Rang ers and Chicago clash in the lead ing American division battle, Ottawa faces Detroit, Toronto meets Boston and the Americans play the Canadlens. All the teams except Toronto, leader of the International section, and Chicago, last place team of the American, are faced with possible changes in their standings and will be fighting as hard as they can to make the changes for the better. The first three American group teams, the Rangers, Detroit and Boston, are within a two-point limit while only six points separate the Montreal Maroons, second in the International section, from the tall-end Canadlens. ers and Chicago all square with a victory apiece and a tie, Boston and Toronto In the same position and with equal point totals, and the Americans and Canadians as having split a pair of decisions. Detroit holds a 2-1 edge over Ottawa in three shut out games.

14 POINTS FOR Score Is Tied Four Times During: First Three Periods Of Game In one of the best basketball games played here this season, the Bridgman All-States defeated the Y. M. C. A. cagers last night at the high school gymnasium, 33 to 25.

It as not -until after the fourth period opened that Bridgman was able to sew up the ball game The score was tied four times during the first three periods. Although th very alert officials, Ivan Laws and a rley Jerome, called 30 personal fouls, the ORWIO scrappy 'Y' team staged sensational rallies in the second and third periods to keep within striking distance of the All-States and had the fans, about 600 of them, in a con tinual uproar. The All-States Jumped Into a 9 to 4 lead In the first period and were forging well ahead in the second quarter when the 'Y five rallied in sensational fashion to knot the score. Three free throws and a field goal by Ed Gast and Captain Ken watt's long "torn" turned the1 trick. With less than a minute to go, Captain Bill Orwig took a long and perfect pass from Phil Rakauskl at the free throw line and dropped the ball through the net fof two points, the Bridgman margin at the half Intermission, 15 to 13.

Bridgman came back strong in the second half, scoring 10 points, while the locals were held to five, thus making the count, 25 to 18, at the start of the final period. Some plain and fancy shooting by Orwig and Bob Ackerman, playing his first game in over two months on account of a leg injury, turned the trick for the All-States. A crowd of about 600 persons turned out for the game and as one school official said "It was the best game the fans have seen around here for 10 cents in many a day." There was plenty of clever passing, dribbling, basket shooting and guarding. Be sides all the clever work, there WATT were plenty of fouls The 'Y' had that depart- the toughest luck in ment, being called for 17, 12 of which were on three players and meant their elimination from the contest. The players banished during the game included Captain Watt, Sammy Dakin and Gast.

Bridgman was called for 13 fouls, of which the locals make good on nine out of 14 attempts. The All-States also "cashed in" at the free throw line, making 11 out of 21 chances. Captain Orwig, playing despite a bad shoulder injury, was high point man during the performance with six field goals and a pair of free throws for a total of 14 points. Gast was high on the offensive for the 'Y' with eight points, two field goals and four free throws in as many chances. The play of every athlete on the floor was good and marks the advancement being made in this section of the state in independent basketball.

After a one hour wait, the Bridgman Tired five, All-State 'B' team, appeared on the floor and won the preliminary game from the 'Y Juniors, 26 to 16.

Whether or not the football rules committee de cldes to make any changes this year, the coaches have a few very definite ideas what ought to be done and are preparing to sift the sugges. tlons at a meeting of their "committee of twenty" early in February and to present them to the rules body when it gathers. The two principal Ideas, as gathered by Lou Lit- LITTLE tie, chairman of the committee the coaches formed at their December meetings, are that something ought to be done about the forward pass and that the ball ought to be brought in from the edge of the field without the loss of a down, before it is carried over the sideline. Fear that the forward pass was getting out of hand and too many passes were being tossed indiscrimi nately was reflected In the report of the 1932 rules committee. The coaches offer three possible changes to discourage too much passing.

They are: 1. That the penalty for two suc cessive incomplete passes be increased from five to fifteen yards, offered by Little. 2. That forward passes be permit ted from any point behind the scrimmage line, replacing the present re striction that the ball must be thrown from a point at least five yards be hind the line, made by Dick Hanley of Northwestern. 3.

That a forward pass caught by the defense after it has touched an ineligible receiver be ruled an Intercepted pass, instead of an incomplete pass as is the case today. "Personally," Little added, "I be lieve that aside from simplifying the rules, taking away the ambiguity that exists in some places, the rules should be left alone. Last year's changes worked out very well. A little atten tion to the forward pass is about all I can see that Is necessary." GREAT FOUR-YEAR MARK ADA, Okla.

It was suggested that the league be composed of eight teams and instead of giving the fans just one game each Sunday, make each attraction a dou-bleheader.

By playing two games at the same park each week, the managers would be giving the fans a break. It would give the fans a chance to see teams from four different towns In action on the same day and alio plenty of baseball competition. The Berrien leaders also suggested teams form a league and. thus it i woum dc powuuiB piay iui uic southwestern Michigan championship at the close of each season by arranging a series between the winners of the two circuits.

Baseball, says Joe Carr, newly appointed promotional director for the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues, needs the college athletes. "Get the. stars and the crowds will follow," says the man who is trying to find a tonic for the national game.

The prime need just now, he explained, Is to stop curtailment of baseball In high schools and colleges. This, more than anything else, is jeopardizing the game, he said.

The rapidity and enthusiasm with which the students themselves have reacted to the economy program has assured the continuation of the Itha-cans in eastern intercollegiate competition, Including track and field, baseball and rowing, at least to the ex tent of a regatta with Syracuse.

Meanwhile the Cornell University Athletic association, with $35,000 in the bank, occupies a position of solvency somewhat unique these days and proposes to keep out of the red. This reserve is enough to finance the program through the end of the academic year, closing June 30. ay cleaning the slate and making com' mltments on the 'cash-and-carry- basis, it will not be necessary to bor row from the banks in anticipation of football revenues next fall. Almost Out Of Debt The Cornell athletic plant now is valued at a half million dollars on which there is an outstanding mort gage for only $105,000, with all in terest paid up to date. From the competitive angle, here's the way the new economy system is working out to the advantage of tne athletes.

The Cornell-Syracuse fresh man basketball game, scheduled in Syracuse, was cancelled along with other intercollegiate competition for the vearllnes. On short notice, Grad uato Manager "Cy" Thurston of Syracuse called Graduate Manager "Rym" Berry of Cornell, offering to pay the expenses of the "Frosh" team if it would make the trip. The players agreed, made the trip to Syracuse in autos, were fed by their hosts, won the game and turned in an expense account of $12. Two years ago. when college athletics still were enjoying relative prosperity, it cost $98 to send the "Frosh" quintet to Syracuse to take a beating.
