Amateurs Get Warninc From Avery Brundage Richmond.

Dec. 7 (JP) Amateur athletes of the postwar world not only must fend off the private promoter but must also avoid the temptations of governments and clubs seeking political gain. Avery Brundage, of Chicago president of the United States of America Sports Federation, told delegates to the fifty-seventh an nual A.A.U. convention today. I have just returned from Europe where plans for the 1948 Olympic Games were discussed Brundage said.

"London, which had been awarded the 1944 games before World War II started, likely will be the site and a mail poll of the International Olympic Commit tee is now being He explained the Olympic fathers felt that the 1936 games, held in Berlin, were a bit too grandiose and that the 1932 games at Los Angeles likely would be the model of the competitions in the future. Among the sites recommended for championship meets by the committee today was Baltimore for the 30 kilometer run, September 22. Hampden-Sydney Wins Ilampden-Sydney, Dec (IP) Hampden-Sydney defeated the Quantico Marines. 36-35, in hard-fought basketball game here tonight. in By ROBERT Setting a new season's high- scoring record, the Bullets captured their third straight American Professional Basketball League victory last night at the Garden, coming from behind to trim the Philadelphia Sphas, 72 to 62.

Bolstered by four newcomers. the Bullets outplayed their rivals the final 15 minutes, to overcome 44-41 second-period deficit, with 31-point scoring spree against 18 for the visitors. Ace Abbott, who was obtained from Trenton in a trade for Ben Goldfaden; Wibs Kautz, former Loyola University of Illinois player; Virgil Vaughan, of West Kentucky State, and Al Kaufman, 200-pound center, made their debut with the Bullets. Working nicely with Moe Dubilier, Hagan Anderson, Art Spector and Stanley Stutz, the new players kept the locals right on the heels of the Sphas throughout the first two sessions and then sparked them to victory. Dubilier Tops Scoring Moe Dubilier had his best night with seven field goals, mostly from long range, and three fouls for 17 points, while Stutz racked up 14, Anderson 12 and Kautz 11.

Ossie Schechtman and Inky Lautman paced the Sphas. the former swish ing the cords for eight field goals. and the latter caging seven two- pointers and three foul shots. The score seesawed throughout the first period, with Lautman pivot shot in the last three seconds sending the Sphas off with a 22-21 margin.

7 (JP) A goal by Vic Chad in the third period enabled the Washington Lions to nip the Baltimore Clippers, 2-1, tonight. The defeat sunk the Clippers deeper in the Eastern Hockey League cellar as the Lions picked up two points to threaten the third-place New York Rovers.

FT nfcJ NAVY SYSTEM Hagberg Supports Continued Use Of Graduate Coaches Annapolis. Dec. 7 (JP Com modore Oscar E.

Hagberg, cniel Navy football coach, was on record today favoring continuance of Naval Academy graduates as Mid- die gridiron mentors. In a luncheon address to the Annapolis Rotary Club. Hagberg said, expect some very worthy men to be here next falL I don't see why a civilian coach could do a better job than one of us. He would have to be an excep tional man, for it would require not only a knowledge of football but of what a midshipman does 24 hours a day. I would hate to see the boys bled white by someone who thought too much of self.

I could name a few civilian coaches who could do it. but they would not be the hard dollar men." Toss Helped Army In reviewing Navy's defeat at the hands of Army December 1, Hagberg said. "The flip of the coin decided quite a bit. Army was in better physical shape, they were faster and more confident. But if we had been able to get the gale at our back we could have kicked them Into, a hole in the first quarter." We have looked over pictures of the game.

Two touchdowns were made over Coppedge and he was not in proper condition to play. He had trouble with his back. Duden had an egg on his leg soon after the start. He couldn't run and we had to take him out. "If we had won the wind early, we would not have tried to run until we were inside the Army 50-yard line.

We could have done that by kicking." Penalties Slowed Navy "Some of our runs were nullified by penalties, but when a team is offside, it is offside, that's all there is to it. "After the first quarter, every substitute I sent in, 1 told to 'hold them together, we have the wind now' and they seemed to pick up and go." Regarding the pass interference penalty called on Billy Baron for interfering with (Doc) Blanchard. Hagberg said. 'That is like having flea interfere with an elephant Such penalties are awful hard to calL" Lauds Pete Williams He praised Glenn Davis, of Army, for his change of pace and said Pete Williams, of the Navy squad, has the same gift. He a freshman, 17 years old, but I think in the years to come he may be as great as Davis.

There Is no counterpart for Blanchard. He is big. faster than most men his size. He weighs 200 pound3 and is not likely to meet many college men who can tackle him. If I had Blanchard here I'd be a hero too." In discussing evolution of the formation at the Academy.

Hagberg said, "we carried the split and the pivot and a conglomeration of everything in the book. We may have looked bad for a while, but I was sausnea as long as we were winning." "Then we found we were putting too much premium on what the quarterback did. So we told the players that it was up to them to make the Quarterback look good by blocking. That was a turning point in our offense." Naval Academy Says Kelly Hasn't Resigned Annapolis. Dec.

7 (JP) A Navy Academy spokesman said to day that Bob Kelly, former Notre Dame grid star, had not resigned from the Naval Academy or "shown any intent to resign." Representative Edward A. Kelly father of the football player, said yesterday his son would resign if he were released and return to Notre Dame. The Navy spokesman explained that a midshipman in his oath on entrance agrees "to serve during the pleasure of the President." Actually, he added, the President delegates this power to the Secre tary of the Navy, whose word is usually final on a midshipman's resignation. He said further that the question of Kelly's release like that of any other midshipman could not be considered until his resignation was handed in. Each resignation is considered on its merits.

The spokesman said that some times midshipmen express the desire to resign and later choose to remain at academy. There is no set' rule of action on resignations, he added. Navy Basket Coach Optimistic Over Squad Annapolis, Dec. 6 (JP) John Wil son, now in his twenty-sixth season as Navy's basketball mentor. predicted today that the quintet currently beinf whipped into shape would compare favorably with last year's aggregation that won 12 out of 14 games.

Much of Wilson optimism was based on the fact that three of last year's regulars will be on deck among them Dick Duden, a stand out on the hardwood as well as on the gridiron. While Tar cage practice in earnest is already under- way, Duden will take his initial workouts next week, accompanied by two other men from the football squad. Wilson said. The two other regulars to be available are the speedy forwards Perry Nelson and Jack Carroll. Over the course last year's schedule, Carroll and Duden con tributed a combined total of 335 points to the Navy cause.

Nelson paced the Middies' scoring machine with 134 points. TAKES MIDGET TUT ROOSEVELT WEST ISP o. Todd.lf.,.. 3 ParkB.f-.... 0 3 0 KfllT.C 1 RrTtioldt.g 4 MrCauley.a 0 BeU 1 r.

TAYLOR TSun Staff Correspondent! New York, Dec. 7 Lacrosse, the college -sport which has acted as bellwether during the war years. indicating consistently the trend of competitive athletics among the educational institutions, will begin us annual convention tomorrow in situation to do a similar service. Expected in some quarters to be the sport to close its program first, lacrosse showed a persistence through the war years that served a model and encouragement for the others. Frills such as the North-South game were abandoned temporarily, but those college and universities that could continue pledged themselves to do at annual meetings and fulfilled the pledges.

Now lacrosse, meeting a week ahead of the ninth annual schedule-making convention of the Office for Eastern Intercollegiate Athletics, will be able to provide a signpost to the larger body. Meeting Begins In Morning The meeting of the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association will begin at 10 o'clock tomor row morning when the executive board gathers. In the afternoon the coaches, rules committee and referees have their sessions, simultaneously with those of lesser affiliates. On Sunday morning the schedule meeting and general association meeting will conclude the sixty third annual session. For the first time since the war the annual All American dinner will be resumed.

This function is scheduled for to morrow night and the players chosen on the 1945 team are invited as guests of the association. Many schools and colleges that abandoned the game will be repre sented here again and will try to set up schedules for the 1946 sea son. Among them will be the uni versity of Maryland, normally one of the strongest teams in the country. Eligibility Discussion Mount Washington will return to club competition, and there is a great likelihook that Johns Hopkins will be represented by two teams, a varsity and a club outfit as well. One matter that is likely to come up for discussion is that of eligibility.

The rules surrounding college competition were largely aban doned by most institutions under war conditions to prevent the loss of competitive sports entirely. The issue will be raised here in order to invite discussion concerning the practical means of returning to re strictions similar to those before the war without depriving students of ligitimate years of competition. Other details of postwar planning should help make this meeting as the official invitation describes it "the most important in years." Rep resentatives of 22 colleges and uni versities, including Johns Hopkins, Navy. Maryland and Loyola from Maryland, will attend. Sonny Home Scores Decision Over Levine New York, Dec 7 iTP)--George (Sonny) Home turned the tables on Artie Levine at Madison Square Garden tonight by winning unanimous 10-round decision over the Brooklyn middleweight who beat him in five rounds last August.

A crowd of 9,842 that paid $34,899 saw the former Nues (Ohio) fight er. now living at Valley Stream N.Y., almost knock out Levine in th- last round. Artie was hanging on. visibly hurt from a flurry of Home's lefts and rights to the Jaw as the final bell rang. The victory advanced Home position among the contenders for Tony Zale middleweight title.

Home entered the ring with bandage over his left eye. From the start Levine kept trying to open a cut, hoping, as in August to gain a T.K.O., but this time Home seemed to grow stronger under the assault and took the play away from Levine completely in the late rounds. Artie seemed unable to stop Home's best punches, a sharp right cross and a left counter. After the third frame, Home, an 8 to-5 favorite, constantly kept on top of his rival, outboxing and out punching him. WHILE THERE may be surprise in some quarters over the lack of announced player deals during the week's meeting of the magnates at Columbus, there shouldn't be.

As a rule player deals are rather scarce at these powwows, in so far as 1 public announcement is con cerned. More goes on behind the scenes than meets the eye, how ever, and you never know all that has happened. Trades, sales and possible deals are gone into at informal talks and meetings which never see the light of print until weeks, and often months, later. This year there is unusual diffi culty and uncertainty because of the home-coming of players who have been in service. Some have already returned, others are ex pected.

But at this particular time no club knows for a certainty just how many athletes it is going to have. And even knowing that, there then comes the uncertainty of the players' ability to get back into shape, so all clubs will be over manned for a while in so far as actual numbers of players, and no organization is too certain of where it stands in the business of trading and selling talk. Biff Job MOST CLUBS don't want to make the mistake of getting rid of a good player, other teams don't care to blunder by grabbing someone they aren't certain is good. Baseball, as a matter of fact. faces a gigantic task in this postwar reorganization business.

The game suddenly must change from a situa tion in which owners were all but forced to resort to kidnapping of grammar-school lads to a condition where their clubs are overrun with talent of approved ability. The re conversion from talent breadlines to banquet fare will not be alto gether painless. Cope AND A communication comes re garding the horse doping business. Our correspondent William C. Dunn, isn't too thrilled about the activities of our race commission.

For that matter you might say lot of horsemen aren't either, Question IN ANY event, to use parts of Dunn's communication, he starts off by saying that what P. T. Bar- num. the old circus man, once said about the birth rate of a certain species would make him eligible as a stockholder at Pimlico. "How is it," he asks, "that all these saliva tests and investigations wernt made before the meeting had reached the last couple of days?" Note I wouldnt know the an swer but there probably is one.

Suggestion "INSTEAD OF makins those barbed-wire inclosures for the horses that run the next day. why not put the trainers and jockeys in there?" Note: That's an idea many have thought of but there would come the matter of feeding rand looking after them, f'r'ivering their mail, and stuff. And besides, it wouldn't be dignified. The Bettors OUR CORRESPONDENT also asks why in all the palaver by the Race Commission, Breeders Asso ciation, Jockeys Guild and the Thoroughbred Racing Association they "never mentioned the protec tion of the betting public. Note They do mention this angle now and then, pal.

Everyone is supposed to know that this what they arc all interested in Everyone doesnt know it and not many believe it But they are sup posed to. Dunn probably got the Idea the protection of the betting public wasn't considered of importance from that story in which race heads in the big track centers expressed concern over the "bad press" the I game was receiving, instead or tne bad practices which have become prevalent All Even ON THE International front Bruno Betzel, v.ho field menaced th; Montreal Royals to a pennant and was rewarded by having the well-known tin can tied to him, a few days ago, becomes the Jersey City pilot Bruno says he is glad to 'get away from the Dodgers organisation and his makes both Bruno and the Dodger office all even. Betzel, however, is going Into no soft spot at Jersey City. For one thing he appears to have a permanent peeve against the press. He could run into a very bad one in J.C., unless he gets great breaks afield.

That's All THE BALANCE of the minor leagues gave their consent to th Pacific Coast League moving up into major status. They did this without argument or pressure. And this isn't anything to won der about Minor loops nowadays vote on such things as their major owners and affiliates suggest The only thing standing in the way of the Coast becoming a big league now is the consent of the majors. That's all there Is. and it Is no more of a barrier than the land and mountains which keep the Atlantic from rolling across the country and spilling into the Pa cific, or vice versa.

a I Br FRANCIS X. WHITTIE The Maryland Scholastic Association'! 1945-46 ice hockey campaign cpened last sight at the Sports Centre with Mount St. Joseph and Loyola skaters scoring initial victories. The Gaels provided a surprise for the near capacity crowd one of the largest to greet an opener in the last four years by blanking a favored Poly team, 3-0, in the second game of the double-header. With Gene Corrigan, veteran Loyola center, winning the honor of scoring the initial goal of the season tallying it just 52 seconds after the opening bell the Blake-field six overran Calvert Hall in the first clash with a third-period urge for a 6-1 victory.

"Gaels Take Lead Poly was rocked back on its heels In the first period when the Gaels moved in front with two goals before the frame was two thirds over. St. Joe scored again in the middle session and, countered a drab Poly performance by skating circles around the ineffective Techmen. Tech's confidence was Jarred hen Jack Robinson, a second linesman, rifled a shot through Bennett's defenses at 6.08. Harry Cole, who moved'up from the jayvees of last year, was camped on the goal crease when Dick Dutton swept to the right of the boards and passed to him for the score a minute 54 seconds later.

Poly got its first break in the game when Jack Duffy was sent to the penalty box midway in the second frame but couldn't capitalize on the situation. Dutton, whose work steadied the Gael forward wall, counted the last marker by trapping the puck directly from a faceoff in Tech's defensive zone turning on the light from short range at 7.51. Holds Poly's Thrusts Clarence Reisler, a hdldover blue line guard, provided the punch that held a desperate Poly team in the final period. The Gael guard turned back most of Poly's thrusts, bottling up its two stars, Doug Cayce and Bill Larasb. Only a goal separated Loyola and Calvert Hall as the i final frame opened.

However, seams of the tight battle split at 3.43 as Frank Love soloed. Joe Boulay, with Larry Smith's assistance, scored at 6.37 and again at 10.19, to put the game out of reach. Stack Gately sand wiched a goal between Boulay's brace at 8.13. Mount St. Joe rurst eUler Poly Bennett Larash Bauer Dutton Col Duffy Score by periods: Mount Si.

Joe Connell. who has been battling big and little heavyweights nce he joined the ranks of the professionals, will be back on Monday night's card in the Coliseum. Joe will box Booker Robinson, of Philadelphia, in the six-round semi-final to the main brawl between Curtis (Hatchetman) Shep- pard and Jersey Joe Wolcott. What O'Connell lacks in science he makes up with sheer intestinal fortitude. He has been defeated, but no one has seen this youngster back up.

Sylvan Bass has completed his card for Monday. There will be three six-round matches and a pair of fours backing up the feature. Johnny Wilkerson meets Nat Hines, of Philadelphia, and Joe Evans opposes Carl McFadden, of Camden, in sixes, and in fours King Kong Walker meets Tommy Merrill, of Camden, and Frankie Les battles Melvin Wade.

Ellis Fnedler, his manager, has issued a deft to Georgie Kochan. and hopes he can have his charge meet Georgie here. xneuier was dhi bdiuiieu wiui the Deacon's showing against Har- rie oiron thnnoh Vt a lira rAtiirnoi I 'r ww ija vnu tiQuu capped by a heavy cold, and was not at his best," Fnedler said.

"The Deacon is the type that needs plenty of work, and if given a chance I know he will make a name for himself. Friedler had two winners on the card Thursday night in the Garden. Through an error, George Williams was not credited with his victory over tadie Kane. A Champ WILLIE PEP, featherweight cham pion, will come to town Thursday to meet Jimmy McAllister, local Negro who is recognized by the Maryland Commission as Southern featherweight titleholder. They will box ten rounds for the Arena Club in the Fayette street Garden McAllister has been working for this one in the gym and on the road The conditions for the scrap call for an over-the-weight affair, and Willie's championship will not be at stake.

This An' That THAT victory bond sports rally to morrow night in the Garden prom ises to be a lively affair. Basketball, badminton and other events will make up an interesting program and for a worthy cause. Baseball deals this week have been few and far between. When the magnates gathered in coiumDus, almost everyone ex pected to see wholesale trading and selling, but the officials apparently want more time to take stock. Although many athletes have been released from the service it is I not certain that all others will be discharged before spring.

Every club will be loaded with material, and that goes for minor as well as major league clubs. The Orioles will have so manv players the chances are that many of them will be dropped because of inability to place them with other teams.
