THE KANE REPUBLICAN, KANE, FA. I'AGE FIVE TUESDAY, PEC 6, 1938 LITTLE DAVEY TO GET mm In World of 'Snort I A 11 Xr umnsflflR nnrwc aw ARMSTRONG FOB By Jack Sords BBQOKLYN AND N. I OPENS ATDUBDIS FOR fill TO HELP PITT FOOTBALL MEN PROTEAMOUT NEW YORK, Dec. 6. (INS) Davey O'Brien, midget star of the Texas Christian football team and quarterback selection on many mythical All American teams, awaited an official greeting by New York's mayor F.

H. LaGuardia today before being honored for his gridiron prowess. Tonight "Little Davey" will receive the John W. Heisman Memorial Trophy, awarded annually by the Downtown Athletic Club to the nation's most valuable gridiron player. The 150 pound, five foot, seven inch player was accompanied to New York by a group of Texas notables, including Lieut.

Governor Waller Woodul, Dr. E. M. Waits, president of Texas Christian; Col. Amon Carter, Fort Worth publisher, T.

C. U. head football coach 'Dutch' Meyer and three assistants, and Mrs. E. M.

K. O'Brien, his mother. As for professional football, Davey remarked: "I might consider an offer, but doubt that anything would come of it." Meyer hailed his backfield ace as "one of the greatest players I have ever seen," adding: "Comparing him with Sammy Baugh, who used to play for I'd say that O'Brien is a better passer, a better runner and a better analyst. Baugh, however, was a better punter and somewhat better defensively."

(INS) The muddled situation regarding Pitt's frosh gridders today was unofficially solved by none other than Chancellor John Bowman himself. The frosh gridders, said Chancellor Bowman in an interview, may receive aid in the payment of their tuition from outside sources, provided that such aid is given openly and not made in the form of a lure to prep school athletes to go to Pitt or to others to stay at the local school. The statements by Bowman, however, are not the official reply to be made to the frosh gridders, it was emphasized. Late yesterday afternoon, Business Manager John Weber staled that school executives had decided the frosh must pay full tuition starling in their sophomore year, thus practically duplicating former demands. But the chancellor said: "There is nothing in the code which prevents ambitious athletes from receiving help.

That would be discriminating against hoys because they are athletes and would be as unfair as doing the same thing to certain other students who hapnened to be members of the band, or some other student organization. "Furthermore there is no rule preventing a bright student from obtaining a regular scholarship, but we will eelainly not give any scholarships merely because students are athletes." Bowman's stand apparently opens the way for alumni and friends to Whizzer White at Halfback on Eleven CLARK HINKLE AT FULLBACK By LAWTON CARVER International News Service Sport Editor (Copyright 1938) NEW YORK, Dec. 6. Made up of players who proved their worth as college gridiron performers and who since have established their pre eminence in the National Professional Football League, what probably is the greatest mythical football team in the world is presented today by International News Service. This is the 1938 All America professional team selected from among the most brilliant stars of the National league.

It is a composite of all the speed, ruggedness and power to be found in the pro circuit and, therefore, theoretically the greatest football aggregation that might ba brought together. The college Ail Americans wouldn't figure to have much chance with the pro combination. In a wholesale summing up, there might be some difference of opinion as to whether all the stars herewith presented are the top hand.s.

Larry MacPhail, general manager of the Brooklyn baseball club announced at the minor leagues baseball meeting in New Orleans that he will broadcast all Dodger games at home and abroad during 1939.

This move is likely to be opposed by the New York Giants and Yankees at the joint meetings of the major league clu'js in New York next week. of 1939 International league baseball season slated for April 20 with the closing set for Sept.

6. (INS) Brewing for some time, war broke out today between Lawy MacPhail of Brooklyn and the New York clubs Giants and Yankees with the announcement that the Brooklyn Dodgers will broadcast their games at home and abroad next year. In the absence of prexy Horace Stoneham of the Giants and Ed Barrow of the Yankees, no official statement was forthcoming from either club today, but it is certain they will carry the issue to the joint meetings of the major leagues at New York next week. It is the contention of the New York clubs that the Dodgers are bound by a verbal agreement, made before MacPhail became Brooklyn's general manager, not to "air" their games. MacPhail is prepared to meet competition.

"After all," he said, "we are appealing only to Brooklyn fans, and I think the Dodgers will always mean more there than either the Giants or the Yankees." MacPhail intimated that he will receive $75,009 for the radio rights to games at Ebbets field. MacPhail has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with various agreements entered into among the three metropolitan clubs prior to his arrival in Brooklyn. Despite the objection of the New York clubs he presented night baseball last summer. The "road games" clause in radio contracts is likely to be the basis for official protests at the joint meetings. The American league has a rule which prohibits road games broadcasts if any major league club within a fifty mile radius expresses an objection.

Representatives of every major league club and practically every minor league team are in New Orleans for the annual minor league convention which opens officially tomorrow. Meanwhile, trade rumors, albeit few with solid substance, flew abou. a crowded hotel lobby. The impression prevails that several deals of rnalor importance will be consummated during the week." "The National leaguers, chagrined by repeated world's series reverses, are particularly anxious to mend their fence's, and believe they can do it with an exchange of playing talent. Colonel Bill Terry of the Giants sfcks to close a deal that will bring either Johnny Hudson or Pete Cos carart, Brooklyn second baseman, to the Polo grounds.
