UNDER RULE SETTING |Saxophone Player, Mule-Skinner and SCHOOL'S AGE LIMIT), | Must Retire ‘Grand Old Man’ of Midway,!”— For Howley’s Job Cincinnati, O., Oct. 14—(>)— Sidney Weil, president of the Cin- cinnati Reds, began to wonder Friday whether the sign outside the door really reads: “Manager wanted. No experience neces- sary.” Since the word went out that Dan Howley had directed his last game for the Reds, Weil has been swamped with applications for the job. Even a saxophone player and a mule-skinner have offered their “expert services.” One devoted student of the heavens wrote suggesting his knowledge of the stars might be just the thing necessary to pro- duce a winning team next year. Weil, however, wasn't prepared for the application of a self- styled retired Mississippi planter, who recommended himself on grounds that “having handled mules all his life . . . ete.” however, Weil saw certain possi- bilities here. Fortunately, such real experts as Honus Wagner and Donie Bush, former Pirate manager, also are among the applicants, and both have Weil's serious consideration. Wagner and Bush, however, hold no terrors for one 18-year- old aspirant, who penned these lines: “Although the newspapers state that Donie Bush has the inside track for the job at $25,000 a year with no results guaranteed, just think what it would mean to you, Mr. Weil, to have the only kid manager in baseball. Thousands of fans would come out just to see me lead the Reds to the heights of glory.” Weil conceded the argument about the “heights of glory,” also the willingness of the Michigan lad who is ready to tackle the job without salary if he gets his ex- penses paid. And then there is the Homestead, Pa., steel-worker, who mentions that he plays a mean saxophone. Weil smiles, however, and con- tinues to hold out, confident he will get a manager without the aid of astrology, saxophones or muleteers. Nodak and Bison Frosh t o Battle Yearling Teams At Two State Schools Meet Under Lights at Grand Forks Grand Forks, N.

Sioux supporters are enthusiastic over the 1932 yearling outfit and ex- Last fall the Bison frosh handed the Nodaks two beatings, but the general opinion is that the Aggie youngsters will have to be the best they ever had if they defeat Clem Letich’s boys in either of the contests this season. The Sioux Papooses have won from Mayville teachers and Crookston Ag- gies and lost to the varsity in three regularly scheduled contests. But the team is vastly improved over a week ago and the first string outfit has be- come a smooth-working machine. Letich has made few changes in his backfield. Welsh, brother of the fa- mous Welshes who used to quarter- back for South Dakota State, has been moved up to call signals on the first team, while Porter, who starred on the third team when it played Crookston a week ago, will be at one of the halves, teaming vith Kupcinet Falgren is the fullback. i The line will have Reichert and Babariz at ends.
