A correspondent of the Barrow New and Mail aald, after Swin-' ton had beaten Barrow by three points to nothing, that the root of the evil was the scrum half, and that until the ball was gotten away more quickly their centers and wing players would not have a chance to score try s. The writer gave a list of 14 stand-off halfbacks who were said to have partnered the scrum half, and said that surely they were not all "duds." (The court found that some of the fourteen stand-off halfbacks had not even played with the scrum and others in the list had had trials but were not success-ful- Altho newspapers are free to discuss the public acts of public men, actors, singers, this criticism must be backed up by facts, the court held.

IS GROWING CUB CIRCLES As Chicago Gets Closer Home More and More Tales Pile up About Hornsby. By GEORGE KIRKSEY. CHICAGO.

(UP). As the Chi cago Cubs move nearer home for the opening of the major league baseball season Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the question there dissension Jn the ranks of Hornsby's team? be comes more insistent. In thirty games played up until Friday the Cubs have won fifteen and lost the same number and haven't shown a flicker of championship merit. The club seems to be physically fit, but sadly lacking in their playing against minor league clubs. The pitching has been almost anything but of big league caliber.

There is no grounds for the belief that Hornsby hasn't the Cubs well under control. He demonstrated that when he dismissed Jess Petty, veteran southpaw, In Los Angeles. After releasing Petty. Hornsby remarked: "No player is going to make his own rules on this club." Hornsby gave another demon stration that he will not tolerate haphazard efforts on the playing field when he sent Pat Malone to the showers when the latter forgot himself long enough to wind up with men on first and second bases and permlt a. double steal at Fort worm.

A's Have Trouble. Another great ball club which Is having trouble in Its spring ex hibition games is the world champion Philadelphia Athletics. Thus the two clubs picked to meet In the world series are among the worst teams on the eve of the pen nant races. Veteran ball players seldom bear down in the spring. The risk of Injury is one of the many reasons for the lazy attitude of established stars.

They don't start leveling until the games start counting and their pay checks come rolling in. Hack Wilson, Woody English and Pat Malone are the three members of the Cuba who have been most disappointing in spring training. Wilson is batting only .302, English but .233 and Malone has lost two out of three games. Anticipates Big Crowd. CHICAGO.

(UP). William Veeck, president of the Chicago Cubs, said he expected a crowd of 45,000 to see the opening game of the baseball season here Tuesday between the Cubs and Pittsburgh Pi-rates providing the weather did not interfere. More than 17,000 of the approximately 23,000 reserve seats already have been sold. Rockne's Wrist Watch. COTTONWOOD FALLS.

HOW TEAMS SQUARE OFF By WALTER E. DOBBINS.

Red-jerseyed varsity gridmen and blue-shirted frosh pigskin toilers will officially end the Husker spring training period in a full regulation battle Saturday afternoon at Memorial stadium. Kickoff at 2:30 The vanity lineup finds Burt Durkee, the only veteran end on the squad and Norris Nesmith on the wings; Chick Justice and Ros-coe Kroger, tackles; Jim Gilbert and Dutch Koster, guards and Clare Campbell, center. Justice, a senior, has been shifted to tackle leaving his old guard assignment open to Jim Gilbert, a member' of the 1929 squad. Campbell geta the call at center In the absence of Ely and McPher-son, regular varsity pivot men. The red backfield will include Jack Miller, Omaha, quarterback; Lee Penny, Tabor, and Marvin Swanson, Kimball, halfbacks and Everett Kreizinger, Bellwood, fullback.

Schmitt and Kllbourne. The first year lineup probably will find a pair of Lincoln youngsters at the ends, Harold Schmitt and Bruce Kilbourne, with Gail O'Brien, Omaha South, and Warren Scoggan, Scottebluff, at the tackles. Warren DeBus, Bellville, and Clair Bishop, Lincoln, will start at guard with Glenn Jones, the big husky from Omaha Tech, at center. The ball lugging quartet will see Henry Bauer as signal caller with Wayne Norwood in reserve. Hub Boswell is due to start at left halfback with Big Bernie Masterson at right and George Sauer at full.

Louis Brown and Chris Mathls, regular varsity quarterbacks, have quit the ranks to compete in other sports. Brownie is trying for an outfield berth on the baseball squad, while Tecumseh Chris Is due to show his wares at the Hastings relay, as a pole vaulter. Individual Instruction. While the Saturday battle will bring to a close the regular spring session Coach Bible expects to iron out a few problems with his men thru individual instruction. He plans to meet with his quar terbacks regularly for a short pe riod, starting lineups: Varsity, Fmhmn.

"I have been particularly well pleased with the way the freshmen have turned out for spring practice," Coach Bible stated Friday. The boys have stuck it out very well and I feel that the squad has made progress. These boys like to play football." Everett Kreizinger improved punting and ball lugging has been one fthe brightest spots in the spring work. The Huskers were fairly well fortified at end until Hokuf was put out of thjeyptoture. His absence leaves only Bert Durkee, a junior, as the only letterman avail able.

Bill Bokenkorger, another vet, will graduate The improved- showing -of Norris Nesmith, Wauneta, has been encouraging but the surprise has been Harold Schmitt sensational play on the wing. The former Red and Black captain, switched from a tackle on a week ago, played brilliantly in practice and will be hard to kep off the first eleven. Bruce Kilbourne, George Hart-man, Don Hulbert and Bill Arm strong, Lincoln; Delbert LaBounty, Curtis, and Roger Wolcott, Chey enne, are the other end can didates. Nesmith Durkee and Schmitt are certain varsity men but the coaching staff is still on the lookout for another first class performer. Four tackles are due to be back next fall, each possessing the ex perience and ability to warrant their names listed as regulars, Hugh Rhea needs no introduction, Kroger lettered last fall and Justice, moved over from guard, is a two-year veteran.

Gail O'Brien, the 225 pound South Omahan, looks like a cinch. A few other men deserving mention are Corwin Hulbert, letter- man; Warren Scoggan, Kern Fo- gerty and Harold Holmbeck Plenty Veto Here. There will be little trouble in the middle of the line with wealth of veteran material avail able. George Koster, Jim Gilbert and Jerry Adam, lettermen, are back. Clair Bishop will be hard to keep on the bench and Ed Upte- grove, Warren DeBus and Ray Scott have been Impressive in spring training.

That Lawrence Ely will be on tap for his second season is enough said. Forrest McPherson, Glenn Jones, Clare Campbell and John Keriakedes are the other pivot men seeking regular assignments. Henry Bauer appears to be the class of the quarterbacks coming up from the frosh ranks with Norwood giving him a run for the money. The three varsity signal Barkers from last season Mathls, Manley and Brown will be back for another fling. There is also a strong possibility that Bernie Masterson and Jack Miller may be given a try at running the team.

Brown and Bauer have the edge. Swanson and Penney. Replacing Harold Ftahm at the NEVEB DISAPPOINTS I HI I YOU mo If successful in these matches they are expected to team with George Lott and John Van Ryn, veteran cup competitors, in European competition. Tilden and Hunter. Bill Tilden and Frank Hunter, Davis cup aces of former years, have deserted amateur play and with Johnny Doeg and Wilmer Allison unavailable for' foreign service, Lott and Van Ryn are the only veteran internationalists remaining for this year's play, Lott and Van Ryn will not compete in American zone matches.

They will sail for France, May 1 to represent the United States In the French championships and to prepare for the European rone Davis cup matches. In the event the United States omes thru In this zone. Allison has been named to team with Shields and Wood In the tie with Mexico, at Mexico City, May Coast Recruit Goes About Work Quietly There is none of the Dizzy Dean or Art Shires in Myril Hoag, recruit outfielder with the New York Yankees. Hoag, wearing a $50,000 price tag, reported to the club this spring with a record that well might leave a 22-year-o 1 youngster 1 1 nholing newspaper reporters. Playing cen- terfield for Sac ramento last season, he led the Pacific Coast league both In put-outs and In assists for the position.

a was his second vear as a MYRIL HOAC, regular. Many old timers professed to see a likeness in his work to that of Tris Speaker. Hoag, however, simply and quietly set about trying to make a place for himself with the club. That place, it appears, this season will be as an understudy for Babe Ruth and Earl Combs, in covering right and left fields. Hoags chief drawDacK nis hitting.

Last year his record was 337. His stance at tne piaie nas seemed to observers at the St. Petersburg, training camp, a bit inept for long distance clout ing. No. 1 or right halfback, is Marvin Swanson and Lee Penney.

These two boys are waging a great battle with Hub Boswell, and LaBounty, freshmen, and Clarence Nelson, a letterman, listed as contenders for the same post. Swanson and Penney were 1930 squad members but did not compete in a single game. The No. 2 back or lefthair po sition finds Berne Packer, Bernie Masterson and Jack Miller ready to step in where Kreizinger and Perry left off. Kreizlnger has been shifted to fullback.

The tailback or fullback post, formerly divided between Bug Lone and Red Young, is an open battle between Kreizinger and Sauer. Should both boys show enough stuff to warrant each of them a regular place in me siari ing field, "Kreizlnger may -be shifted back to his old No. as signment. Brighter Outlook. In summing up the prospects Bible believes the outlook is considerably brighter than a year ago; veteran material is available for nearly every assignment and barring injuries or ineligibility the Huskers should be a Dig improvement over their 1930 showing.

Backfield men deserving of spe cial mention for their spring grid performances are Kreizlnger, Mas terson, Bauer sauer and uosweu, Linemen displaying their wares In exceptional style were Schmitt, Jones, Nesmith, O'Brien and Gil bert. The aSturday scrimmage brings to a close all team drill until next September when Coach Bible and his assistants will start, prepara tions for the season's opener with South Dakota.

WASHINGTON BEST BET NEXT TO MM OUTFIT Senators Given Chance to Nose Out Champions in Third Pennant Quest Yanks Puifcle. BY HENRY MCLEMORE. NEW YORK. (UP).

It Is a great temptation to forget the old sports custom of stringing along With a champion until beaten and choose Walter Johnson's Washington Senators to top the world-champion Philadelphia Athletics in the 1931 American league campaign. The Senators, with the same team that finished but eight games behind the Athletics last season, certainly appear to be the only outfit with more than an outside chance to foil the A's hopes of winning a third successive league championship. The Senators have the best rounded pitching staff in the league, plenty of punch at the bat, and a strong defense. Given their share of the breaks they may bring the national capitol, its first world series since 1925. The Athletics, just aa in 1929 and 1930, will depend upon the "Big Five" Grove, Earnshaw, Simmons, Foxx Tind Cochrane, There five men.

all-in their crime and all super-players, still have the defensive and offensive strength to bring the A's home in front. Therefore, the Fhlladel- phians must be accorded top rank ing with the other clubs named to finish the following order: 1. Waahmgtaa. 8. New York 4.

Cleveland. 1. Detroit. Chicago. 1.

Ml. Mult. 5. Boitoa. Philadelphia is named to repeat but must have the all-season ser vices of each of the "Big Five" to accomplish the task.

Let Earn- shaw or Grove develop a sore arm. Simmons or Foxx a bad knee, and the A's would do well to finish in the first division. On the other hand, if Walberg, Mahaffey, of one of the other members of the Grove-Earnshaw supporting staff turn in a twenty-game performance, the club likely would win in a breeze. Yanks Need New York, under the hustling, driving, magnetic Joe McCarthy, is the "mystery'' team of the league. Given better pitching the slugging Yankees might batter their way past both the Senators and Athletics.

Cleveland is named for the re maining first division berth but may have to yield to a muchly improved Detroit The Tigers lack a punch but are blessed with a large number of high-grade pitchers. Chicago is expected to have little trouble in finishing in sixth place. The White Sox are not likely to annoy the Tigers or Indians to any extent, but are much too strong for St. Louis and Bos ton. St.

Louis, as ever, possesses little or no attacking strength and not any too much pitching power. Boston Is Just Boston. John Pesek and Wife on Second Honeymoon KEARNEY. (UP). John Pesek, Nebraska heavyweight wrestler, and his wife, are on their second honeymoon.

Thursday Mrs. Pesek dropped her action and Pesek followed by withdrawing the divorce petition Mrs. Pesek said that the report she had recevied a broken hand in a quarrel with her husband had been started by some outside party and that instead, she had sua talned the injury in a fall.
