Tulane, unbeaten winner of the Southern Conference title, faces the tough Washington State outfit, which has lost three games. Tennessee, another undefeated but tied Southern Conference team ven- tures into the north to face the Vio- lets of New York university. The Southern Methodist Mustangs, also tied once although unbeaten, test the record which gave them the South- ‘west Conference title against the Pa- cific coast’s “giant killers” the Gal- loping Gaels of St. Mary's of Oak~- land.

Turtle Lake high school’s basketball team has a bright outlook for the present season, according to H. L. Slater, coach. Three lettermen, William Sackman, forward, and Burnett Okeson and Gunder Gunderson, guards, reported to Coach Slater. No candidate yet has shown ability to handle the va- cant pivot position satisfactorily. Ceach Slater reported. Turtle Lake's schedule calls for 14 games before the McLean county basketball tournament, Slater said. The tournament will be held at Un- derwcod this year with the date to be set later. Friday's cage tilt at Max is expect- ed to reflect the outstanding players on the Turtle Lake squad from which _Coach Slater may definitely select the season's regulars for the remain- ing games which will be played as follows: Dee. 11, Turtle Lake at Underwood; Dec. 17.

And _ probably some time during , the course of the discussion some- body will pipe in with “And Howard Jones—he’s good, too.” Good, too? Well, maybe if he would Sweep out the locker rooms after the games he might be a little more use- ful around the place. But after watching the devilish mockery his football team enacted before a pop- eyed Notre Dame line and backfield, this correspondent is almost inclined to believe he's just a little better, than “good, too.” Jones may be “good, too,” but the team that plays in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena on New Year's day had better take along somebody like Thurston, now that Signor Houdint is Rw Tae Sr leaving the defensive linemen preci- ous little time to dope out what is about to happen. To be brutally frank, the word that best COMMITTEE OF FIVE TO HAVE CHARGE OF BASEBALL LEAGUES _|White Sox Complete Three Im- ~ portant Player Deals to Steal Show HICKEY HAILED AS HERO Mike Sexton, Veteran President of Organization, is Removed ‘West Baden, Ind., Dec, 4—(P)— Branch Rickey, field general of the St. Louis Cardinal farm system, and Chicago's White Sox have stolen the thirtieth minor league baseball show. As the big show opened its final act Friday, Rickey was hailed by the financially harried minor league club owners as the hero for putting over a drastic reorganization plan, while the White Sox easily took the play from major league brothers by completing three important player deals. The most important turned in by the White Sox came Thursday night when they traded outfielder Carl Reynolds and second baseman Johnny Kerr to the Washington Senators for pitchers Irving Hadley and “Sed Sam” Jonés and second baseman Minter Hayes. Within two hours of that deal they traded pitcher Bob Welland to the Boston Red Sox for Pitcher Milton Gaston. In addition, during the convention, they purchas- ed outfielder Harold Anderson from St. Paul of the American Association. But that wasn’t all., It was under- stood they still had another big deal pending whereby Hadley would be used in a trade with the New York Yankees, possibly for Tony Lazzeri or ‘Myril Hoag. Tt was under Rickey’s leadership the National Association of Profes- in Court Opener the parent body of the minor leagues, the startling suddenness with whicn|Locals Have Five Lettermen these shifts take place is “kaleido- scopic.” This speed effectively hides tne direction of the maneuver. I saw fighting Irish getting themselves all set to fight some end runs when for-; ward passes were the intention. They became groggy watching the variety of the attack. Notre Dame beat the Trojans last year. Jones thought up new tricks. Ten years ago, as coach at Jowa, he. coach did the same thing, and beat a No- who ever lived—.tre Dame eleven that had won 22 straight games. Hunk Anderson was @ guard on that Irish team, so per- after the defeat of the 1931 Irish that, “Notre Dame has not forgotten how to lose.” Jones is a great fellow to remind folks how to lose. Jones has been coaching for 24) years since leaving Yale and he has made trouble in every part of the country. In his seven years at South- ern California his teams have won 61 games, tied two and lost 10. And in the last four years Pop Warner's warriors at Stanford have scored just 12 points against the Trojans. The team that plays against the Trojans New Year's day really ought to take along some tambourines, saxo- phones, etc. There is a possibility they may find relaxation between the halves with a little music, after the ordeal of trying to catch Roman can- not available in the flesh. The visiting | des. firemen are going to come out of that one with what Mr. Sweeney would, call a hangover. ‘The Jones team at South Bend was the best coached team I ever have seen. This was demonstrated clearly not only from the standpoint of the sleight-of-hand worked in the shifts, but from the way each man went through his own particular part of the parlor trickery assigned to him. Besembles Pinwheel ‘They huddle, But the huddle hard- ly has been formed than it begins to turn, like a pinwheel on the Fourth of July. It remains a huddle, with the units running around in ring- around-a-rosy fashion.’ It's enough to make the observer in the stands dizzy, let alone the men out there who play against the Jones jugger- naut. (Think of the saving you can make on flask-demurrage, spectators.) After the pinwheel of men has stopped revolving, three waves of; bodies attired in football suits emerge} "| from it. They form in three lines, then “hip!” again, and they are into line and backfield. But not the kind of line and backfield to which the effete east is accustomed to seeing. The whole thing is unbalanced. It’s almost what you might call irra-| tional. The tackle called upon to defend’ himself against this shifting’ wave’ might find himself playing opposite Wilfred Zilch on one play and Mor- timer Abercrombie on the next as- sault, At various stages of the South Bend mystery play, the Notre Dame guards must have found themselves wondering if, after all, a couple of other fellows were playing guard for ends.
