He also proposes "an academic league of nations" with Jurisdiction over college sport. "The abuses of intercollegiate athletics are many, and various," says the report, "and it is exceedingly ore among the "downtown crowd" over victories. After the victory over Pennsylvania, he says he did not receive a single telephone call of congratulation, a marked contrast to former seasons. And this was the case after later victories.

Major Griffith thinks that the "rah rah spirit" has receded in ratio as the great stadiums have arisen. Enthusiasts, he says, are taking games with much greater philosophy than in Jhe old days when not more than ten thousand spectators attended games. One wonders whether or hot the experience of the West Point cadet corps with mammoth contests in-volvlng their teams has not mitigated the frenzied enthusiasm which they used to show in Army-Navy games. Have they become a bit blase? Certainly in the recent game against the Navy at the Yankee stadium, their dignified, their almost indifferent demeanor was marked. The Midshipmen brought to this contest all the historic fervor and between the halves they brought to the attention of the east those colored picture group arrangements which for so long have been a feature of big games on the West coast and in other sections.

OLDER BOY LEAGUE; MiDGETS BEAT DELTS Ornstein Specials Continue String of Victories by Beating Ghosts A couple upsets marked the Older Boy league basketball cams ai me x. ai. u.

The first game found Sam Ornstein's Specials con tinuing their string of victories which wasnt orthodox, and the second game saw the Third ward Midgets step out and sock the Delta chapter of Hl-Y Where It hurts.

The score In the openinr srame between the Ghosts and Snprlal was 12 and 1, all of which la rather lopsided when considered In a good basketball sense. Huhn of the Ghosts did all his team's scoring, a lone free throw in the last half. The Specials in the meantime tal lied seven points in the first half and then added five in the second. The Third ward Midgets made al-most every shot they tried in the game with the Delta Hi-Y team and that accounts for their win. In the first half Popp got three counters and Mortell, Van Ryzin, and Win.

Major John I Griffith, the commissioner of Big Ten athletics, has noted in the past season a marked diminution of that flnancail pressure which is reflected in straining for gate receipts. He feels that they are playing the game more for the sake of the game. out in the midlands now. And he has, without doubt, a correct Impression of the situation.

At the start of the season, for instance, George Huff remarked that he did not care very much whether or not they had large crowds at the Illinois stadium this year, and he spoke as though he meant what he said. The Illinois amphitheatre is paid for and it is a structure sufficiently large to take care of all the friends of the Illini who may care to see a game. So Huff feels himself in the happy position of one who can hear the turnstiles click merrily or other wise and not worry. And At Madison Glenn Thistlethwaite referred in the past season to a wholesome condition at Madison.

BADGER CAGERS TO MEET MISSOURI AT MADISON TONIGHT i Holiday Lull for Big Ten Schools Not So Noticeable This Year CHICAGO UP The usual holiday lull in Big Ten basketball will not be so noticeable this season, with 13 games listed before the championship campaign opens Monday Jan. 6, 1931.

The Old Guard BASEBALL'S faces keep changing. The player who gave the best years of his life to the game, only to be sent down the riv-er when age withered his arm and dimmed his eye, might console himself with examples of the cruelties fate can wreak upon those who once employed him. On almost the same day recently three familiar figures of another day burst back into the news. One was Charley Comiskey, owner of the White Sox. Another was Ban Johnson, former president of the American League and chairman of the National commission.

Yet another was Garry Herrmann, for mer owner of the Reds, and a power of the National Commission. Changing Scenes Or a hospital bed in St. Louis Ban Johnson, once the Iron hand that ruled the baseball world, lay near death.

The losing side certain ly had reason for complaint. Question Has Ben Tlcknor oi Harvard played as consistent game as Tony Siano, of Fordham during the same stretch of years of varsity play? Answer No. Siano's play has been more consistent. Question It it compulsory for fighter to bandage his hands before a contest? If pot, why does he do so?

There is never an Infield fly unless first, second and third are occupied. Question Do the rules specify how the center should pass the ball? That is, must he pass it between his legs? Answer No. The center can pass the ball any way he chooses but the motion must be a continuous one, Question What is the nationality of Roy Williams?

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE big leagues recently voted a $500 monthly pension to Garry Herrmann, once owner of the Cincy Reds and head of the' old National commission Garry is ill In Cincinnati. He was a lavish host when he had it. About seven years ago federal men raided a hotel in Cincy and Garry was enter-, taining a few dozen fans with a sausage, pretzels, sauerkraut and near bear party. The federal men found that the beer was nearer than you might imagine. Garry's real name is August He was nick-named "Garibaldi" by a wice-cracking printer He was a union printer in the old days at Cincinnati, and went to work in a typeshop when he was 11 years old.

He was hauling a cartload of type along the streets one day, when it got away from him on a steep grade. The type landed with a splash in the Ohio river. Gar-ry sadly dragged the cart out and plodded back to the foundry. Mclntyre was reported to be rapidly falling In health. In Chicago, Comiskey, hobbling about In his apartment.

afflicted by lameness, sat with a reporter and dreamed of the greatest ball team he ever had the White box of 1919 and how it threw him down. Three years ago Ban Johnson walked out of his office as president of the American league, never to return. His feud with Comiskey, bitter personal war that endured more than 15 years, had finally brought about his defeat. His health, not too good before that, began to fall rapidly then. Now, at 67, he finds himself fighting his last battle for life.

Few friends are at hand, except Phil Ball, owner of the Brownsi and the doctors, who can do noth ing except try to prolong his life for a short time. HE boys are getting all het up over Wisconsin's basketball victory over Penn the other evening and are even going so far as to pick the squad as Big Ten winners this year. However, the fact that Notre Dame with an ordinary squad went out and beat the easterners the other evening takes the glory out of the Badgers' vic tory. Doc Meanwell always has good teams, but personally we'll wait un til the Badgers play a couple more games. Somehow that remark passed during the grid season "an ordi nary player in any other school Is al ways All-American at Wisconsin still rankles in our mind.

Stoney McGlynn of Milwaukee's Sentinel picks an All-American professional grid team. He names two Packers on the first squad, Dilweg and Nash and puts Kern, Bowdoin and Lewellen on the second squad. Fans in this section will get a big shock in noting that Mike Michalske is not named on either eleven. Speaking of Mike, Stoney says: As guard we name Comstock ot the Giants and Kiesling of the Car dinals. Both played strong games on every appearance.

Mike Micnai-eske of the Packers, a veteran all-pro league selection for many years, started out as of old, but slumped from the Portsmouth game at Green Bay, Nov. 2, until the end of the season. Playing a very unortho dox style of guard play, Mike was poison to plays around the flanks if one of the opposing guards pulled out, but rlvarteams, sensing' his tailing" the running guard, faked plays to the flanks and then cut back directly over his position for big gains throughout the season. Stoney's selection follows: First team Dilweg, backers, end; Lyman, Bears, tackle; Com stock, Giants, guard; Pearson, Bears, center; Kiesling, Cards, guard; Dotids Spartans, tackle; Nash, Packers, end, Friedman, Giants, quarterback Strong, Stapleton, halfback; Grange Bears, halfback, Nevers, Cards, full back. Second team Badgro, Giants, end; Kern, Packers, tackle; McMillan, Bears, guard; Hagberg, Brook lyn, center; Bowdoin, Packers, guard Mooney, Brooklyn, tackle; Johnson, Bears, end; Brumbaugh, Bears, quarterback; Lewellen, Packers, halfback; Thomson, Brooklyn, half back; McBride, Brooklyn, fullback.

A. as King of 112 Pounders New York UP) Frankie Gen- aro of New York and Midget Wol-gast of Philadelphia clash in Madi son Square Garden Friday night in a 15-round bout that should give the flyweight division its first gen erally recognized champion in sev eral years.

Genaro is recognized as 112-pound king by the National Boxing associ ation while Wolgast is champion in the eyes of the New York and Pennsylvania State Athletic commissions Barring a draw, a new and rightful holder of the crown should emerge, Genaro, at 29, is a true veteran or tne ring. He won N. B. A. recognition as flyweight title-holder by winning a Canadian elimination tournament two years ago.

In much the same manner, Wolgast survived the field in an elimination tournament conducted by the Gar den here last spring and as a result gained the approval of the New York and Pennsylvania solons. He is only 21 years old and in the opln ion of many experts will prove too fast and shiftly for Genaro. Frankie has been knocking around the rings of the United States and Europe for ten years and more. He has lost much of his speed but still has lots of stamina and a much better punch than Wolgast. This bout Is the only one of any importance to the national schedule, most other boxing centers forget ting about the cauliflowers until af ter the holidays.

ASADENA, CAU, UP) The Pasadena open golf tournament won by New York's Blender professional Tony Manero today was written into the annals ft the ancient and royal game as the battle of the three putts. Meanwhile, the golfing trail led toward Agua Caliente, Mexico, where the biggest winter event on the coast, the Agua Caliente $25,000 open, gets underway tomorrow. Some of those who failed to collect In the 72-hole event ending yesterday blamed the "balloon" ball, new to tournament play.

Most of those receiving the larger cuts at the payoff declare" It was only a mental com' plex. All agreed that the three-day contest was lost on the putting greens. Walter Hagen, Detroit, admitted he fritted away comeback chances with frequent three-putting. Horton Smith, of New York who won the 1929 tourney over the same course, said the new lighter but larger pellet consistently refused to go down. He was a dozen strokes higher than last year and tied with Hagen for fifth, place, five behind Manero.

Three Over Far Naturally, Tony was the leading exponent of the new ball. He had cards of 73-71-74-69 for a 287 total, but finished three points over par. Mortie Dutra, the southland's leading exponent from Long Beach, three-putted the final green and finished with 289. Herman Bar ron, Port Chester, N. Y.

and Al Es-pinosa Chicago, were third with 290 each. New ball regardless, the treachery of the creeping bent greens bad something to do with the excess put ting'. Charles Lacey, former British professional but now of New York, said he found difficulty In mastering western greens. "I took at least 30 excess putts," he complained. He finished with a 306.

Walsh Gets 9 Manero's par plundering finish of 69 was duplicated by Frank Walsh, of Chicago, and Olin Dutra, of Santa Monica, Only one other player broke perfect figures. He was W. Cox of Brooklyn. Of the amateurs, Johnny Dawson, Chicago, led the list with a 299, finishing In eleventh place. Russ Thompson, Glendale, was sec ond, a stroke behind.

So obsessed are many alumni with a passion for victory at all costs that they are quite willing to shut their eyes to very discreditable happenings which reflect sadly upon their own colleges in a way which no series of victories on the athlet ic field can possibly overcome. "The enormous cost of these intercollegiate football contests and the still more enormous revenues which art produced by them, if a team or a particular institution gains a reputation for success, are a constant and justifiable source of academic as well as public criticism.

"Lean Over Backwards" ''Those Institutions Whose administrative authorities stand up straight, and even lean over backward, in the matter of conditions of admission and standards of scholarship in colleges, are punished on the playing field when those who represent them come in contest with athletic teams constituted of very different material from theirs. "Perhaps what is needed is an academic league of nations to take jurisdiction over this entire field of endeavor and to preserve what is excellent while shutting out what is unbecoming and unworthy. "Perhaps the one satisfactory and permanent solution of these prob lems is that athletic sports, being a well-recognized part of undergradu ate life and undergraduate training, should be suitably and adequately endowed by the alumni. Were this done, it would then be possible at one stroke to bring to an end the importance and influence of gate receipts and put baseball and football, for example, on the same excellent plane that rowing has long occupied. Until something of this sort is done, Columbia must remain one of those colleges which pays the penal ty, if penalty it be, of insisting upon the primacy of intellectual ideals and intellectual Educators Not Agreed 5 New York UP) Views of prominent educators with regard to for mation of an "athletic league of na tions," proposed by Dr.

Nicholas Murray Butler to provide a free gate at college contests, were published In the New York Times today. Dr. Ernest M. Hopkins, president of' Dartmouth college, said the pro posal was worth considering but ex pressed doubt that alumni endow ment was the proper remedy. He added that there was some hysteria about over-emphasis of football.

Chancellor Elmer Ellsworth Brown of New York university said such an organization was "extremely desirable." Thomas S. Gates, president of the University of Pennsylvania, said the suggestion was entitled to sympathetic consideration. Dr. Frank Aydelotte, head of Swarthmore college, pledged his support on the basis of a brief account of the plan, but thought the evils of academic sports came from spectators. Major John L.

Griffith, commissioner of athletics for the Western conference, declined to be enthusias tic, saying athletics had rules and organizations enough if they were adhered to. "The trouble is," he added, "that the pessimist of the day has invaded college ranks." Paris (IP) Charles Herzowitz, for years one of France's greatest rugby linemen, has become a heavyweight pugilist. He bowled over his first four opponents inside of five minutes of fighting. League Race pitching that any team needs, French should be better this year than he was last. The setback that he got in 1929 when he was ill had to be overcome in 1930.

He was giv en enough work last season but he did not always get the best batting support. Grant has been brought over from Rochester. International league managers seem to think that he will pull through. It is Swetonic who is most praised by outside managers. He had just started in 1930 when he was overtaken by illness and was practically lost to the team all sea son.

When he was able to play again he seemed not to have lost any of his skill. If he starts the coming season and his strength is good, he will be apt to forge to the front as a winner. Willoughby finished well with the Phillies in 1929 and in 1930 he was of no use to them. He simply couldn't improve. Pittsburgh took him over in the trade by which they obtained Thevenow.

and there are baseball men who have a notion that Willoughby will come popping into the front of the stage one ot these days. He is strong and has pitching qualities, but can't control the ball. Control can be learned. Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pirates believes he has a good pitch ing staff, the best tutfield in the league, and a better Infield than he ne i had last year, with the addition Thevenow, Meanwhile the Cadets left their seats and sauntered about on the gridiron or visited friends in the environing stands something no one ever saw in previous Army-Navy games. And when the victory had been won, the West Pointers were so matter-of-fact about it that their pose registered an indifference which seemed to some, in view of all things, to verge upon bad taste.

On the other hand, there were admirers of the Cadet corps who read in their attitude a more becoming reaction to the outcome of sporting events in which their teams are in volved. In the fact that they let the goal posts alone will be found, it is hoped, an example which will prove far-reaching. It never was a practice worthy even of high school crowds, and. as a matter of fact, high scnooi crowds do not, as a rule, resort to this sort of vandalism.

College Ave. In National BY JOHN B.

FOSTER Copyright, 1930 EW YORK (CPA) One of the major league managers, expressing his opinion as to what may happen in the baseball race, 1931 observed that Pittsburgh has a pitching staff that is potentially the strongest in baseball. He did not say potentially. He remarked that it "had heft to it." This manager had been watching Wood, of Wichita, all during the 1930 season and when he found that Pittsburgh had a hammer lock on Wichita players, he was sore at heart. He says Wood is the coming left hand pitcher of the National league. The Giants thought they had a coming left-hander in Bill Walker and it is not sure that he may not arrive even yet.

The failure of Walker to succeed may be one of the reasons why Dick Kinsella failed to remain with the New York club as a scout, because a large outlay was made for Walker. For pitchers Pittsburgh has Bed-nar who also was with Wichita and who also is good; Brame, French, Grant, Kremer, Swetonic, Willough-by and Wood. There are some younger pitchers, too, but those who have been named are players of a fixed value.
