Stiff Opposition EDUCATORS BELIEVE COLUMBIA PRESIDENT CORRECT IN THEORY General Consensus of Opinion Does Not Favor ‘Athletic League of Nations’ CENSURE ENDOWMENT FUND Yost, Stagg, Huff, Griffiths, Ow- ens, Warner and Putnam Comment for Press New York, Dec. 23—(#)—Dr. Nich- olas Murray Butler's suggestion that all intercollegiate athletics be en- dowed by alumni to end the “impor- tance of gate receipts” has brought forth a flood of comment, favorable and otherwise, from the country’s college administrators and athletic officials. The consensus seemed to be the Columbia president's proposals might be sought enough in theory but they were not practicable, at least at this time. It was pointed out in some quarters that endowments for acade- mic purposes are hard enough to get now. Conference Needs Filled Dr. Butler's further suggestion that an “athletic league of nations” might be needed to solve current athletic problems met with the rather gen- eral reply that the present athletic conferences, with their special rules and regulations, already fill any needs along that line. Dr. Butler himself disclaimed any intention of inaugurating any specific campaign to put his proposals into effect. He made it clear he merely had set forth his own opinions on the subject. A summary of a few of the com- ments on Dr. Butler's proposals fol- ws: voviclding H. Yost, director of ath- letics, University of Michigan, saw “no possible value in the proposal.” Alonzo Stagg, director of athletics, University of Chicago, believes “ath- letics should be removed entirely from the influence of alumni bodies and administered as a regular department of the university.” 4 George Huff, athletic director, Uni- versity of Illinois, called the proposal “ridiculous.” Major John L. Griffiths, Big Ten athletic commissioner, thought each sectional group had enough rules al- ready and could see no merit in the “Jeague of nations” idea. Wouldn't Limit Endowment i} Professor William B. Owens, Stan- | ford, president of the Pacific Coast conference, “would not limit such en- ¢awment to alumni but would accept it from all available sources.” Thomas Putnam, dean of men, University of California, doubts “if the endowment plan would meet with the approval of the alumnj and can- not see where it would solve the problem anyway.” Glenn S. (Pop) Warner, Sa ch, said “A lot of funny things” aS suggested. “I don’t think Dr. Butler's suggestion merits any com- ment.” Lehr Cage Squads Beat Edgeley, 11-7 Lehr, N. D.

Skiing and skating, hitherto almost unknown sports in Italy, are rapidly taking the place of the country’s fa- vorite soccer games. Hockey, entirely unheard of until last year, has been greedily seized upon by young Fascists who have al-} ways felt their inferiority in winter! sports. Italy, under Mussolini’s unrelenting and dynamic drive, has firmly re- solved to gain a place of honor in the 1932 Olympics. A good number of skiers, almost all members of the Fascist university | groups, have been selected for train- ing with the Royal school of the Al- pini, Italy's crack mountain soldiers, far up on the heights at Clavieres. The first of March an elim:nation will take place, and the best of the group will represent Italy at Lake Placid.

RAMP IN 28 MINGTES, Rockne and Savoldi to Join All-Stars Christmas Battle; Nodaks Practice on Near Field Los Angeles, Dec. 23—(#)—The urday between Notre Dame stars and a west-wound eleven was given add- ed touch of color today in the an- nouncement that airplanes would be pressed into service to bring to Los/ Angeles Knute Rockne and “Jump- ing Joe” Savoldi, to aid the Notre Dame aggregation. Rockne announced last night at the Mayo Brothers clinic in Roches- ter, Minn., that he would rely on aerial transportation to bring him to the scene of the clash, although he will be making his first flight, he indicated. Savoldi, who after making a last- minute decision to enter the fray departed from Chicago last night by train, and will change to airplane at Kansas City in an effort to speed up his arrival. The remainder of the Notre Dame past and present stars, already on the scene, are going through stiff drills on coliseum turf. Their opponents, under the guidance of Jimmie Phelan, University Washington coach, practiced yesterday on the same field while the Irish gridders went through their paces a short distance away. On the same spacious field a third football machine, the North Dakota Flickertails scurried through intri- cate formations in preparation for their Christmas day battle with the Los Angeles firemen, a strong eleven. Add to these aggregations either in Los Angeles or its environs or soon | to arrive are the Washington State Cougars and Alabama's Crimson tide, | the pair of pigskin juggernauts that | | will tangle on New Year's day at the | Rose Bowl. In the absence of Coach Rockne the Irish machine is being directed in its warming up motions by “Hunk” Anderson, able assistant of the famed Notre Dame head man. lowa Cagers Will Play Jays Tonight Illinois and Wisconsin Defeat Opponents in Last Games by Close Scores | i Chicago, Dec. 23.—(#)—Iowa will seek its first victory of the early basketball season tonight, meeting Creighton university at Omaha, Neb. The inexperienced Hawkeyes have made two starts this season, losing to St. Louis university and Bradley college by close scores. Illinois and Wisconsin each made another successful conquest last night. The Illini romped over Wa- bash, 28 to 13, while the Badgers slammed Missouri, last year’s Big Six conference champion, 3% to 9. Wa- bash made three field goals against Illinois, while Wisconsin held Mis- souri to a pair, Loyola university plays Butler col- lege in Indianapolis tonight.

The eastern squad, coached by Andy Kerr of Colgate and Dick Han- ley of Northwestern, went to work out at Stanford university. Although several backfield: combi- nations were tried, it was certain Macaluso of Colgate would be the starting fullback with Bruder of Northwestern one of the halfbacks. Western players practiced at Berkeley under Coaches Dana X. Bible of Nebraska and Percy Locey of the San Francisco Olympic club. Several passing plays were’ added to the last practice and signal drill was stressed. ?

We're just standing by until New Year’s afternoon when a young man from Washington State or Alabama will assume the hero's pose. With that little formality over with, we'll hang the picture of the 1931 star be- side his forbears in the Tournament of Roses Hall of Football Fame. The collection numbers quite a few pictures now. Willie Heston, who once cavorted on some elevens at Michigan known as point-a-minute teams. His picture has been hanging there amid cob- webs since 1902. The remainder, even the more recent heroes of the past 10 years, which includes Chur- chill of Harvard, Muller of Califor- nia, Notre Dame’s Four Horsemen, Pooley Hubert of Alabama, Biff Hoff- man of Stanford and Russ Saunders of Southern California, have attained degrees of mustiness, depending on their periods of confinement. Eight thousand fans comprised a capacity crowd that watched an in- augural Tournament of Roses classic in 1902 between Michigan and Stan- ford. Living up to their point-a-min- ute instincts, the Wolverines had scored 49 points against an exhausted Stanford group with several minutes left in the game. At this stage, Cap- tain Fisher of Stanford gasped to Captain White of Michigan: “We're ready to call it a your men are willing.” That ended the first New Year's Day classic on the coast, with Michi- gan a 49 to O winner. Twenty-nine years later, none of us is anticipating a one-sided vic- tory for either Washington State or Alabama, the present contestants. Indications point to a close score and @ fierce struggle not to be terminated until 60 minutes of football have left both teams in a state of exhaustion. Each of the 1931 contestants has participated in the New Year's Day spectacle within the past 15 ycars. Alabama accepted the invitation two years hand running, winning from Washington in 1926, due to some in- spired playing by Pooley Hubert and Johnny Mack Brown, and tying Stan- ford 7 to 7 in 1927 by reason of some savage battling by Clarke Pearce, Wu Winslett and Jimmy Johnston. Washington State's sole appearence before the holiday crowd at Pasa- dena occurred 15 years ago when a fighting Cougar eleven captained by Asa Clark, center, and coached by John R. Bender, chewed up the cum- bersome Bears of Brown University by @ count of 14 to 0. * Oe OK Alabama backers again are count- ing on the magic of Coach Wallace Wade to pull them through. Twice they have seen Wade's underdogs emerge undefeated. To counter-bal- ance this belief is one of similar strength on the side of Washington State—an undefeated record in Tour- | nament of Roses competition. Records of the rivals are as good day, if */as any team claiming national rec- ognition, with the possible exception of Notre Dame. Each has won nine scheduled games. Alabama confined her conquest entirely to Dixie op- ponents, while Coach Babe Holling- | bery’s Cougars made a 3000-mile trek to Philadelphia to subdue the Villa- ‘nova Wildcat. Comparative scores might indicate a slight edge for Alabama, The Crimson Tide scored 247 points for an average of slightly more than 27 points per game. Washington State totaled 218 points, something over a 24-point average. Alabama held her opponents to 13 points and white- ‘washed seven of her nine foes. Washington State allowed but 32 points against her, and held five ri- vals scoreless.

Marquette Mentor, Believes Change Would Enable Bet- ter Pass Attacks Milwaukee, Dec. 23.—(7)—Coach Frank J. Murray of Marquette’s un- defeated 1930 football team, would make more difficult those famous “shadow of the goal posts” defensive stands. Murray believes the end zone—the 10 yard depth back of the goal line— should be raised to 20 yards to aid the offensive team. He points out that the present end zone is compar- atively easy for defensive backs to cover against forward passes when | the offensive team is within the five yard line. Adding another 10 yards, he says, will give the offensive team moze opportunity to use the plays especially passes,®which enabled it to work its way to the five yard line. Connie Mack 68 Years Old Today ‘Keep Young With Future, Do Not Mellow in Past’ Is Veteran’s Advice Philadelphia, Dec. 23.—(#)—Keep young with the future, do not mel- low in the past, was the substance of Connie Mack’s mesage today on his 68th birthday. e As usual, the venerable manager of the world champion athletics, de- cided to go to his tower office at Shibe Park for a short time looking after off-season baseball duties. Friends told the veteran pilot that he looked splendid, to which he re- plied: “I feel that way.” And when it was intimated that he might be getting ready to retire, he shot back: “Not on your life,” Connie smiled when someone asked if he thought baseball was losing its grip on the public. “A woman told me that a few years ago,” he said. “I pointed out that she was wrong, that we were drawing bigger crowds than ever, and that instead of at- tracting 250,000 in a season we drew that many in two weeks or a month. She was merely losing interest and supposed others were doing the Asked his opinion of night baseball, Mack said he had never witnessed it and could not comment on its merits. It will be a long time, he thinks, be- fore the question is considered seri- ously by the major leagues. ° No All-American football team ever lined up for action, in person, except on one occasion when a quorum was present at the banquet board, yet I am prepared to report after some assiduous research that the nearest thing to such an all-star collection performed some three decades ago ‘Sport Slants =| Library Athletic club, Pittsburgh. I am greatly indebted to Mr. Perry Hale, Yale 1900, and Walter Camp's selection that year as All-America fullback, for information on the post- graduate gridiron activities of college football stars in the days when ath- letic club teams were popularized, frequently furnishing opposition for the college elevens as well as exer- cise for themselves. “The question of whether or not a } team formed of All-America football | players has been put to me several times in that there seems to be a be- lief that somewhere around 1900 such a team actually played a game,” writes Mr. Hale from Portland, Conn. “Possibly the reason for this is that teams were formed ‘at that time in part out of the mythical All-America team. As I recall it the Duquesne Athletic club and the Homestead Li- brary Athletic club, both of Pitts- burgh, used to engage prominent men for a game which was played in Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving Day of each year. “The scheme was to give that sec- tion of the country an exhibition of high-class football as well as to carry out the rivalry which existed between the two clubs. “In 1901 the Homestead Library jup in part by All-American players.

I was at one of the tackles, having finished at Yale. “We played two games with the Philadelphia Athletics, who included Bull, All-America center of 1895, and Blondie Wallace, Pennsylviania’s All- America tackle in their lineup. That year we defeated Lafayette, 66 to 0 in two ten-minute halves which might give you an idea of our strength.
