Page i Indians Xot To Play Amarillo; Conceded Southern Title Positively the Last Time This Offer Will Repeated! 40 MONROE An opportunity of the Indians of the Northeast Center of Louisiana State university, undefeated in their 1935 schedule, to play a post-season game with the Amarillo Junior college eleven, of Amarillo, Texas, has been turned down, Jimmy Malone, coach of the Indians said late Thursday. MEN Will Get a TAILOR-MADE SUIT SATURDAY Only for Coach Malone said the game was turned down because it was proposed to have it played on Christ- mas Eve at Amarillo, a date and place which would interfere with the Indian players spendirg Christmas with relatives. Also, the coach said, it was! deemed advisable for the Indians not miss additional school classes.

Although the game will not be play- ed, the Northeast Center eleven was! conceded the southern junior college football championship by the Amarillo team, Coach Malone said.

The banquet annually tendered the Center football team will be held next week, probably on Tuesday will be awarded during the program. By Paul Mickclson (Associated Press Sports Writer) CHICAGO.

Quinn, a shrewd old grandpappy who is rated as one of the slickest traders in baseball, gave the major league player mart a final thrill Thursday by trading two hired hands to Brooklyn for the price of four. Back at Boston, this time with the task of rebuilding the downtrodden Braves, Quinn pulled a deal with his old Dodger confederates whereby he sent Outfielder Randy Moore and Pitcher Ed "Dutch" Brandt to lyn in exchange for Catcher Al Lopez. Second Baseman Tony Cuccinellt and Pitchers Ray Benge and Bob Reis. The deal surprised baseball men, who were unanimous that Quinn had made the finest straight deal of the lively three-day meeting that closed jtoday. Up at dawn the 64-year-old Boston president hunted up the Brooklyn delegation and closed the big deal.

I then out-talked Branch Rickey, head of the St. Louis Cardinal farm system. but rebelled when Rickey dei manded Pi'cher Fred Frankhouse in exchange for Infielder Charlie Gelbert. Unable to get more, the cm- and in deal." I'm just starting," Grandpa Quinn -aid. "Yes, I figure the Braves got a right smart bargain In the absence of other deals, although the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Nationals still tried to get together on the Curt Davis-Chuck Klem swap and the Chicago White attempted to get Outfielder Sam West, other important news concerned the joint meeting of the major leagues with Commissioner Kenesaw M.

Landis. It was voted to adopt the four intei sectional series plan, pro- i hibit Sunday doubleheaders until June 15. and reject the plea for 000 from the amateur baseball cin- I gress for the Olympic games. The refusal to aid the congress was regarded everywhere as a direct slap at the Olympic games in Berlin. As the meeting closed, 10 of the 16 major league clubs had reported one or more deals.

The ones who failed to turn one were Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Chicago in the National; St. Louis and Washington in the American. The Boston Red Sox announced the largest with the purchase of Jimmie Foxx and John Marcum from the Athletics for players cash, it estimated that Tom Yawkey, multimillionaire owrner of the Red Sox, has spent more than S3 000 a day in baseball since he acquired the team three years ago. Three of the sorest spots on the Braves team, which set a losing record last season by dropping 114 games, were figured wiped out in today's deal.

Brandt, now 30. had several good years with the Braves but no longer is rated as a class one hurler. Mcore, also 30, has never been a great hitter, averaging around the .282 mark. The biggest surprise of the entire deal was the acquistion of Lopez, now 27. and a leading catcher for six years, Cuccincllo, 28, was with Cincinnati before going to Brooklyn in 32.

His lifetime average is around the .300 mark. Reis, 25, was converted from an mfielder to a pitcher last season, winning three and losing two games. Benge, 33 years old, once was rated as one of the finest moundsmen. He won 9 and lost 9 for Brooklyn last season but had great years with Philadelphia, Flint Rhem, one of the pitching greats for the Cardinals in their world's championship year, 1926, was sold by Boston to Nashville, along with Pitcher John Van De Mere. Rhem failed to win a game for the Braves last season and later was shipped on option to Syracuse where he won 8 and lost 6.

By George V. Lofton (Sports Editor Of Thr World) BIRMINGHAM. Dec and the Louisiana Tech football ad hit Birmingham at the same time Thursday morning and the lads who left Ruston with their Florida clothes on know just Admiral Byrd felt when he lost his raccoon coat. The Bulldogs, en route to Tampa, where they meet the Tampa U. Spartans Sn urday afternoon, found the ground covered with snow when their train pulled in here at 7 o'clock Thursday morning.

The snow later turned to sleet and then a cold rain continued to fall during the day. However, it failed to dampen the ardor of the touring technicians. Tire natives claim its the first time in years such unfriendly weather has greeted a visiting delegation. The boys are wondering just what to expect when they reach Tampa. The squad was turned loose on the city after breakfast, and at noon Coach Eddie McLane took them to a show.

He said he wanted to give a chance to take their shoes off. No attempt was made to stage a workout Thursday afternoon. So far there are no serious casualties. Wimpy Gidden slept with his arm in the Pullman hammock Wednesday night but Wojecki believes he will be able to work the soreness out before game time Saturday. Don Darling stepped on Guy Carrol's head while climbing into an upper berth but luckily didn hurt his foot.

There are several wits on the party. Ray Davis, former line coach at Tech, met the squad with a cheery morning. Mohawk Phillips cracked back: good about it? And Herb Duggms, lad McLane brought down from Purdue to coach the Tech line, has been waxing sarcastic about the sunny south. The party left Birmingham at 4 30 with everybody accounted for and the warmth (they hope) of Florida will be reached about 7:30 Friday morning. A brisk workout wall be held Friday afternoon, with a blackboard drill scheduled for Friday night.

The squad was pleasantly surprised Wednesday night when Coach McLane announced that the party will leave Tampa Sun night, instead of Saturday, thus giving them an extra day for sight-seeing in Florida.

La Dec. thrilling contest is promised fans of Ferriday, Natchez and environs Sunday afternoon in Natchez when the second and final game of a two game benefit series between the Natchez and the Ferriday Wildcats, both independents, takes place at the Duncan Memorial park gridiron. scene of last year scoreless tie game. Last Sunday in Ferriday the Wild- cate opened a passing attack late in the final period to overcome a 7 to 6 lead and edge out a 12 to 7 verdict over the Natehezians. Until J.

S. Cross crossed the goal line with the winning touchdown, the game had been nip and tuck. With an improved lineup including Roscoe Theridge, Copiah- Lincoln back, and Lonnie Shelton, 180 pound end from Millsaps, Jackson, the Natchez team plans to even the score with the Wildcats Sunday. Coach Sutherland first brought Pitt west for a Rose Bowl game encounter with Stanford and saw his team lose 7 to 6. Strangely enough, this was fords lone triumph in the New Year intersectional classic, although the Indians have made five other appearances.

Pitt came back two years later to tackle the Trojans, who completed passes all over the premises and handed the Panthers a 47 to 14 trouncing, the most one-sided ever written into Rose Bowl history. The crowning insult came from these same Southern Californians in 1933 when they set up another scoring mark at expense with a 35 to 0 shellacking. So it is small wonder that Coach Sutherland is planning what he hopes will be a touchdown-studded gridiron victory to take back home this season. There is one drawback to the whole setup. That is the fact that almost everyone has beaten Troy this year, and should Coach Howard eleven suddenly become fascinated by the thought of turning the tables it would be a bitter pill indeed.
