DAILY PRESS, Newport News, Friday, December 5, 1952 5 Minor Loops Veto Veeck Plan To Forbid Majors Signing Untried Players Frick-Favored Bonus Rule Passed, Tigers-Browns Trade Viewed BigL Expected To App eagues Phoenix, Dec. 4 The minor leagues today turned down a proposal by Bill Veeck, cf the St. Louis Browns that would forbid major league clubs from signing any players without previous professional experience. Veeck's plan also would have made it mandatory for all minor league players to have been made eligible for the draft after their first year of professional ball.

Veeck's scheme came after the minors passed a new bonus rule, banned recall of optioned players after July 31 (except for emergency cases) and continued the present high school rule.

He declared the major-minor contract clearly states no club shall own' or control more than 40 players. "Thi action today shows the cards re stacked against us," said Burnett. "If they continue this policy, there will be no alternative but to go to the court house." Veeck's proposals took the convention by surprise.

He first proposed his ideas an amendment to the bonus amendment. When he was turned back there, he offered it as an amendment to a Dallas resolution that would have given all minor league players the right to refuse to be drafted. Pacific Coast League players (open classification) have that right now. The Dallas amendment was defeated but Veeck's ideas got to the floor. Under the Veeck plan, offered through his San Antonio affiliate in the Texas League, no big league club would be permitted to sign as a free agent a player without previous pro experience.

Davey and Truman Gibson, IBC secretary, had words last week in a rhubar over just who Davey was to fight in Cleveland.

Gibson said bitterly that Davey "insisted on trying to manage him self." Tonight they had wards again on Davey's sports show, conducted by Sports Director Dave Froh of Lan sing Radio Station W1LS. But these were sweet and hon eyed words as Davey, holder of a Michigan State College masters de- jree, interviewed Gibson. Gibson promised Davey a title bout with welterweight King Kid Gavilan, telling him "you can cancel the if and just make it when." Last week it was announced that Davey was "going to fight Del Flanagan in Cleveland Dec. 10. Davey objected, saying he had not agreed to the fight and would not fight Flanagan.

That's when Gibson made his remark about Davey's insistence on managing himself. After a conference, Fitzie Pruden was picked as an alternate opponent. "Probably belatedly, I confess that this will make a more interesting fight than the Flanagan fight," Gibson said in the radio interview. "That's what I had in mind when I picked Pruden over Flanagan," Davey said firmly. "That rhubarb over the fight was rather a tempest in a teapot," Gibson said.

"1 talked with Hcc Knowles (Davcv's manager) and found out later that he had an agreement with you that he would discuss all your opponents with you. I understand it wasn't done. "We're going to meet Gavilan next week and try to iron out the details of a February title match in Chicago," Gibson told Davey. "We hope it will be on Fob. 11." Gibson said Jim Norris.

The Kcydcls average 147.4 yards per contest via passing to run clear away from runner-up William and Mary, which had a 116.4-yard average.

Virginia, surprisingly enough, wound up fifth in passing offense. The Cavaliers had a duo of topnotch signal callers in "Master Melvin" Roach and Charlie Harding but. I owing perhaps to their terrific ground game, climaxed the season with an average of only 86.7 yards passing per game.

They also approved a suggestion by the coaches that the coin-tossing to decide the goals to be defended and the team to make the opening'kickoff be done 20 minutes before the games.

The coin-flinnine proposal, which must be submitted to the national football rules committee, was made to give offensive and defensive units more time to get ready for the start of play. The football coaches and athletic directors postponed drafting of the 1955-57 Big Ten football schedule until a special meeting which is expected to be held in January. SCHEDULE TROUBLE Scheduling of conference games for 1955-56 was begun at the Spring meeting in Ann Arbor, but the difficulty of working Michigan State into the conference requirements that each team play six games with conference rivals, two of them home games, during the season, bogged down the programming. In seeking more Spring practice ses-siops, the directors and coaches took a stand opposite from that of the American Council on education which recommended that Spring practice be abolished entirely. The Ivy League has banned Spring training.

Big Ten Commissioner Kenneth L. Wilson, said that the present rcstrio in irvcenmij amn ill of attention coaches can give inexperiences players. "The coaches felt a longer Spring practice takes the emphasis off the blue chip athlete who can go into action the minute he puts on a suit," Wilson said. He said the coaches felt that numerous injuries resulted from restriction of Spring practice.
