Restoration of drafting relations between the majors and minors probably will be effected before the end of tho haw-hall meetings scheduled here this week, according to the bcliof of many persons who have been following the lonir standing quarrel which resulted in a flat refusal on the part of the National and American leagues to engage in player deals with any organizations, so long as they remain exempt to ho 1ftivA mmt- 1 'T I By Sasse After Scouting Middies Says Annapolis 100 Per Cent Stronger Than at Any Previous Time This Season; Sebastian Definitely Out WEST POINT, N.

These players are Three Notre Dame Stars Chosen On United News All-American The nine-man committee appointed by the National Association last week tn MontreuJ, met tht afternoon and afterward reported that a plan had been formulated by which the five non-draft leagues would be willing to resume the draft. They Informed the majors that they were prepared to talk business and the result was an informal arrangement by which the minora will be heard Informally on Wednesday, prior to the final meetings of the big leaguers which will be held on the afternoon of that day. Hold Secret Session.

Thi was the leading development of today, program which Included a secret session of the National League directors and a conference of the American League managers which was urged by President Krnest S. Marnard, the object being to discuss any auggestiona that might be for the betterment of the game. "We believe we have hit upon a plan." said a memlr or the minor league committee today, "by which the drafting problem can be satisfactorily adjusted. Our idea la not to ask certain things from the majors, and to agree upon giving them privileges that we feel will be fair to both sides. If our auggestiona do not appeal to them, we will be willing to listen to reason and poasibly accept such compromises as we may regard consistent.

We fully realize that the minors cannot afford to continue without the privilege of making player deals with the majors, but we also are aware that the majors would be sorely situated If they were to continue their policy of refusing to negotiate for players with five clulis, three of which represent the highest classification In minor league tiasehalL" No Deals Likely. Three big league pilots are missing from tlie gathering in the lobby of the Commodore when the annual confalie of the majors are alAted to atart tomorrow afternoon. These are Jem-el Kns of the Pirates. Wilbert Kobinson of the Brooklyn club and Walter Johnson of the Washington Americans. With no player deals In prospect.

It was regarded aa not being worth while to ask I-ns to come to New York from West Palm Beach, where he la vacationing with his family. "We have the telephone number of Kns at the Florida resort" said Sam Dreyf uss. vice president of the Pittsburgh club, tonight, "and if anything In the way of a trade should develop it would require only a few minutes to ret in touch with him and reach a conclusion. Nothing In the way of a deal thus far has come to our notice." Both the National and American leagues will open their annual meetings tomorrow and each Will officially award Its pennant to the club which participated In the re-rent world series at Philadelphia and St. Louis.

These sessions will continue Into Wednesday and the joint session Is called for Thursday at the P.ooaevelt. The rules committee, which la made up of Barney Drey-fuss. William L. Veeck and President John A. Heydler of the National League; President E.

8. of the American League. Connie Mack and Clark Griffith arYd John B. Foster, will convene immediately after the joint meeting on Thursday at the Roosevelt. By the end of the week It Is believed, the revision of the rules will have been completed.

The intentions are to abolish the sacrifice fly entirely, leaving the sac. rlflce hit solely in the bunt class. It in also proposed to eliminate from rune batted In, the tally that results from a hatter grounding Into a double play. The zoning system probably will be adopted, recognizing nothing which la driven out of the playing field at a distance of less than 00 feet as a legitimate home run. Wlllert Robinson, manager of the Brooklyn club, decided to remain at Xtover Hall In Georgia, where he Is smooth running attack, which is perfectly co-ordinated," said Sasse, wlin now ttiA mirlnriiT.mert in their decisive victory over Penn on Sat urday.

"It is obvious that the team han found itself. "On the defense the Navy was alert and strong. Another phase of the game which they have mastered is blocking and tackling. The interference took out its men perfectly, showing fine teamwork, and tbe tackling was hard and clean. "There is no doubt that next Saturday the Army will meet one of the strongest teams in the Eaat if not in the country.

The Navy offense and defense will reach its peak against Sasse was particularly impressed by Kirn, a fast back; Tuttle, at center; Bowstrom, tackle, and Williams, at quarterback. "Bowstrom's punting," Sasse said, "was outstanding and Williams' selection of plays was excellent. Furthermore, if Navy has any more substitutes like Hurley, who replaced Kirn, we will be In for an unpleasant afternoon." Reached Peak Against X. O. The Army, Major Sasse said, "un consciously reached its peak for the Notre Dame game at Chicago.

To keep the squad from going stale, we broke training after that game for three days. Now we are trying to build up. "We will certainly be unable to put our full strength on the field. Sebastian, first string halfback, is definitely out for the rest of the season. This morning I visited Armstrong, Malloy, Trice.

Hillsinger and Summerfelt in the hospital. All these men are regular players and their absence next Saturday will be sorely felt. "Carlmark has never fully recovered from his injuries incurred in the Yale game. We were unable to use him In the Illinois game and he played only two minutes in the Notre Dame game. Stecker and Frentzel are also on tbe injured list- It will be a good game, though." During the practice session, Sasse lined up his first team with Messenger and King at ends, Carlson and Humber.

The workout started with group work, then moved to the scrimmage machine where Sasse worked to smooth out the new combinations in his attack. Particular attention was given to Carlson.

In the backfleld. Kilday, Carver and MacWilliam were also worked. During the time devoted to full speed scrimmage, the Army plebes put on the Navy attack with considerable success. Lieutenant Bryan, plebe coach, has taught his squad such plays as the scouts have been able to pick up. Several weak spots, particularly at right guard and in the secondary defense of the varsi ty, developed through which the plebes rushed for big gains.

The session closed with the varsity- team on the attack against the scrubs. During this workout Dick Ktng, left end, was injured and re placed by Fletcher. NAVY BEGINS PKEPAKATION. ANNAPOLIS, Md Dec. 8.

vVr Coach Navy Bill Ingram, believing me tnree weeka' comparative rest which his regulars had before the Pennsylvania game iaat Saturday did them more good than a rough-and- tumble preparation program, today started to prepare for the charity game with the Army in New York on Saturday with a light workout. Ingram believes his regulars have reached the peak of their strength, having recovered from the battering received in five hard games in a row in midseason with little replacement material to rest his varsity.

The speed boy from the West earned a halback berth in his first varsity, year, climaxing a great season with a 67-yard run against Penn State, which he followed by kicking the point after touchdown to give the Panthers a 7-6 win over Penn State in the closing game of the grid campaign. He continued at halfback and quarterback on the football team as well as plajlnir second base and twirlinir for the baseball nine for three years. He captained the great 1915 eleven at Pitt.

Early in July, 1917, immediately after his graduation, he enlisted in the naval air service at the Smith-field and Diamond street recruiting station, following many other team mates in his entrance into the serv ice.

About the same time Ted Fry, Jimmy DeHart, Andy Hastings, Pat Herron and Student Football Manager Jack Thompson Joined the colors. Instructor at Pensaoola. At the time of his enlistment Chalky waa under contract to coach the Westminster College football team In the following autumn. He had piloted Shadyside Academy's baseball nine during his last spring term at Pitt. At New Wilmington Williamson was to succeed Tuss Mc-Laughry as football mentor.

i His enlistment naturally cancelled the engagement with the Titans and he was sent to Pensacola, for training. Completing his training as an aviator, he was placed in charge of bombing Instruction in the marine school at Miami, later serving as an executive officer of the first Marine flying unit to enter Haiti. He resigned from the service in 1919 with the rank of first lieutenant.

Last May he was appointed to the Klskl prep school faculty, where he was also to serve as football coach. Ill health compelled his deferring assumption of his coaching duties at Saltsburg. but he continued his teaching until very recently. At one time Williamson was considered big league baseball timber as a moundsmen and Manager Jimmy Callahan had the Pitt star work out with the Pirates a number of times.

S. VII The Yale Athletic Association tonight made public a ruling of the board of control of the association under which, in the future, any person connected with Yale athletics will be prohibited from speaking over the radio or writing newspaper articles. Announcement of the ruling followed upon circulation of rumors that such a ruling had been passed. In making the announcement, officials of the Yale Athletic Association denied the action had been directed against the activities of Tad Jones, as rumors had declared. On the contrary, according to Professor Seidell Rose, chairman of the board of control, Jones himself favored the move.

the Pennsylvania game, which Naw won, 26 to 0. All regulars came out of that clash in good shape, and one of the most cheering results was the return of Johnny Gannon, halfback, to the form he displayed In the 19:8 season when he was one of the most dependable backs on the Middy list. Gannon faded from the picture after the Dartmouth game at the close of last season, but Saturday gave a hlghly satisfactory demonstration of ball-carrying. Another spark of cheer gainc! from the last few games was the development of Tom Hurley, another back who showed great driving power in the contest of Pennsylvania. He has been a dependable ball carrier, but reached the height of his game Saturday.

The rest of Ingram's backs, including the little 152-pound battering-ram, Lou Kirn, are in good shape. Nothing but a signal drill was given the squad today. Tomorrow a light scrimmage session to perfect new plays is on the program. The team is to leave here Thursday and hold the final workout in New York on Friday. $600,000 TICKET SALE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8. (Universal Service.) En route to the million-mark, the ticket sale for the Army-Navy benefit game passed $600,000 tonight. A concerted drive throughout the city was begun In the afternoon to dispose of the 17,000 tickets that remain unsold, and it was predicted by Grover Whalen, chairman of the sponsoring committee, that the next few days wtll brins a complete sell-out. Liberty bond days and scents reminiscent of war-time were re-enacted in Wall street and Times square as the public sale of tickets was begun.

Ticker-tape, the floral tribute of the business district, poured out of Wall street windows and crowds gathered around army transports from which tickets were being distributed at list rrit-es in the theater district. Only $560 worth of seats was disposed of at this noon-hour rally, hut it awakened Wall street to the campaign, and the Salvation Army will be back again tomorrow. Navy's victory over i'enn? on Saturday has sene.1 to stimulate the sale, an official notice said.

Carideo, Schwartxs Metzger Capture First Places. By United New a. Players of every section of the country are represented in the college football all-America selected by the United News. This diversity of choice was not by intent, but was merely an evolution in the process of selection made by the sports staff of the United News in collaboration with leading coaches in all parts of the country. Frank Carideo was named by each United News sports reporter and by most of the coaches who aided in the selections.

His brilliant record as Notre Dame's field general, leading punter and defense ace is so well known that no recounting need be made Maialuso at Fullback. -Another popular choice was Len Macaluso of Colgate, who won the fullback position not only on his chief claim of being the nation's leading scorer, but because of the ease with which he made 'those touchdowns. In Mart-hie Schwartz and Phil Moffett we have two halfbacks who were dependable players In every game they entered and stars in some. A third virtually unanimous choice was Wes Fesler of Ohio State, who was on the United News All-America second team in 1929. He is now said to be the best end the Western Conference has ever seen.

Frank Baker of Northwestern was another standout performer in a circuit well supplied by capable wingmen. Fred Sington of Alabama and Milo Lubratovich of Wisconsin won their Mt.

N. Y. Today Gilbert Malcolm, college treasurer, received a letter from Mount Pleasant In which the former athlete said he never had been in Minneapolis. He added as postscript: I wish to say emphatically that I am vary much alive." Mount Pleasant starred In football at the Indian school in 1909. when Glenn (Pop) Warner was head coacU, He also set a world's record for the broad Jump while competing with an Indian school track and held team.

Aftor hla graduation from the Indian school, Mount Pleasant entered Dickinson College, where he alno starred as a football player.
