The only thing I don’t want to do is hang around so long they have to show me the bench sor the gate and tell me I'm just an ‘old man. But the way I feel now I'm Jeood for at least five more years.” In better condition than he has ever been and with the figures of his trainer, Artie McGovern, to prove it, Ruth is ready to show his employer a number of good reasons why he ‘should be kept on the payroll with- ‘out a cut. ‘ “Tt haven’t talked it over yet with }Colonel Ruppert,” Ruth told newspa- ‘permen after a brisk workout before the cameras, “and I don’t expect any ‘trouble when I do but I still think I'm worth that $80,000. I'd like to sign for that on a one or two year basis. “Last year was one of the best I have ever had, despite the injury that laid me un for a few days in Boston. But for that I think I would’ve had ‘'@ good chance to break the home run record. “J still think I can do it. The ball doesnt’ seem any deader to me. When I sock it right, it still goes plenty.” Among other items of public inter- est, Ruth admits he recently shot a round of 73 at golf; that his waist- ine now is reduced to a mere 38 inches (a foot less than it measured | 4m 1925); that he’s a better movie ace | tor than he thought he was; and that, the 1932 American League pennant race “should be a breeze” for the ankees. Yayeah, I know the Athletics still! have Grove and Earnshaw and those | babies can pitch and this Simmons | can hit,” he argued, “but we should} have beaten ‘em last year and we will! do it this year because the Yanks will) have a lot better pitching.” Ruth was to have had a workout/ with Max Schmeling yesterday for the benefit of photographers at Mc- Govern’s gymnasium but the heavy- weight champion at the last minute telephoned he was otherwise engaged. “Hey, you don’t supopse that guy: took @ runout, do you?” demanded | Ruth as he swung a left hook to the chin that dazed McGovern during @ brief sparring match. Havelock Wins from Mott Independents Havelock, N.

EACH MAKE #1.20 PROFIT! Meinhover and Jacobson of Bi marck Seem Certain of Regular Berths Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 7.—(P)— Satisfied that he will not get any- where in the North Central Confer- ence basketball race with his veteran material, Coach Clem Letich is go- ing to let his University of North Dakota sophomers lose the games that are lost. Letich believes he might just as well let the sophomers take the defeats as the seniors, and at least get the bene- fit of the experience. It will help for next year, he says. With this record the Sioux mentor will start three sophomores, a junior, and a senior against Morningside here Friday in the opening of the conference schedule. This is the combination that turned in the best basketball of the practice schedule by defeating the in two games with Corcordia, defeat St. Olaf and lose to Carlton. Big Ted Meinhover, sophomore center and the biggest man in the conference, seems to have clinched center at the expense of Fred Felber, regular of last year. Meinhover, six feet, seven inches tall and weighing 240 pounds, is improving daily, while Bernard Smith, another sophomore, looks like the best of the guards. Bill Lowe, the other starting guard, is all that remains of last year’s team in the lineup Letich prosposes to start Friday. Jacobson, a junior, but who could not play last year because of football injuries, will play one forward, and Mullen, a sophomore, the other. Both athletes have made rapid strides since the opening of the season and will replace Webster and Gillson, two vet- eran lettermen. Letich believes Gordon Dablow, an- other junior who was unable to play last year because of injuries, will re- place Lowe before long. He is a bet- ter ball handler now, but is not as ag- gressive as Lowe. On the bench with Felber, Gillson and Webster will be Captain Vern DuChene, guard, and Wexler, another guard and veteran with two seasons of regular play to his credit.

Schulmerich was the only other Brave to pass .300. Nothing much has been done to strengthen the pitching staff, which collapsed late last season, and Ed Brandt, Tom Zachary and Harry Sei- bold, credited with 39 of the tribe's 64 victories, will again carry the hurling burdens. McKechnie has plenty of other Pitchers and it is likely he will at- tempt to trade some of them. He could use a seasoned catcher to help hard-working Al Spohrer.

A. -Pyre, chairman of the council, divulged the actions taken by the council in its secret sessions since the close of the football season. “Did the council request Little's resignation?” he asked. “Yes, in a certain sense,” was the answer. “Did you tell Little to resign?” “Not personally, a committee in- formed him.” “Isn’t it more or less a fact the council made Little the goat? Was there any dissatisfaction with Little's Program in general?” “Not in general. The council had the impression he had failed to handle the affairs of the department com- petently at all times.” “Pressed for “one specific reason” for Little’s resignation, Prof. Pyre coun- tered with the assertion the resigna- tion came from an “accumulation of feelings,” that there had been “bungl- ing” and “vacillation” at times.

His latest vic- tim, Billy the Kid Townsend, out of Jimmy Mclernin’s home town of Vancouver, was coming out of it in another dressing room. “I don’t have to quit the business yet, do I?” joked Petrolle, “Now bring me Canzoneri or Brouillard.” And from what I hear, Mr. James J.
