New York, Dec. 7—(P)—Veterans Far Westerners Would Rather Have Team in Good Health Stop Their String Los Angeles, Dec. 7.—(?)—That in- fluenza pestilence which has been rid- ing the west-bound train with the Notre Dame football squad spread within Troy's guarded walls Wednes- day leaving results which baffled science. There was much whooping at the University of Southern California, ‘but no coughing. A questioning lift of the eyebrows was an accompanying sympton. Not that the Trojans lacked sym- pathy for the ailing Ramblers, whom they play here Saturday, but there was @ certain absence of conviction concering the infected trainload of athletes who would like to terminate the S. C. string of consecutive vic- tories at 18. Two years is a long time, but not too far distant for the Trojans to re- member how the late Knute Rockne brought a team of cripples west. minus a fuliback and all that sort of thing. All Southern California was sympathetic because of what Coach ‘Howard Jones’ eleven was going to do to those stricken invaders. The marks of that Notre Dame 27 to 0 victory fre the main reason for so many ioubters. : ‘Southern California has heard, too, jhow Coach Hunk Anderson took his traveling infirmary to New York. How three victims of the terrible scourge, namely George Melinkovich, Jim Harris, and Emmet Murphy, scored rather persistently on Army's Ca- dets. . ‘Among the unbelievers was Troy's man. Denaturally,” spoke Coach Jones, “T feel sorry for the boys who are sick and for Hunk. But you know what I think? Anderson could have all his first string in bed with the fli and still we'd have our hands full.” Only 10,000 of the 101,558 seats available for the game at Memorial Coliseum (nee Olympic Stadium) re- mained to be sold, and all of them were back of the goal posts. HUNK PESSIMISTIC OVER IRISH CHANCE El ‘Paso, Tex., Dec. 7.—()—Pessi- mista! over the prospects for victory over Southern California's football teant Saturday was expressed Wed- nesday \by Coach Heartley “Hunk” Anderson of Notre Dame when the train bearing the Ramblers to Los Angeles passed El Paso. “We shot the works against Army ‘and probably cannot turn in another peak performance,” Anderson said “Tt will take a similar performance to beat the Trojans. They ought to take us.” Anderson said an ambulance had been ordered to meet the train at ‘Tucson, Ariz. to remove Ray Bran- cheau, halfback, stricken with influ- enza after the squad left Chicago. Brancheau’s condition had improved, however, Anderson said. Other members of the squad who thad been ill were reported rounding into condition. From persons on the train with the Notre Dame players, it ‘was ldarned Brancheau had been up most of Tuesday, although suffering with a severe cold. THINK I LOST BETTER LET THEM THE Nodak Foot HE WAS HEAVILY DP S LADEN ball Receipts in Tumbl Athletic Director C. A. West _ Says: Income Fell 50 Per Cent This Year Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 7—(P)— Another winning football team has failed to help finances any at the University of North Dakota, where economic conditions and unusually bad weather cut football attendance 40 per cent from last year and re- ceipts 50 per cent. “We are going to try and carry on without too much reduction in our activities,” said C. A. West, athletic director. Our salary budget will be cut, there will be no intercollegjate competition in golf or tennis and we will engage in no dual track meets, he said. Our track team will attend} three major tournameyts and our: football team will play its usual} schedule.” “We already have cut out all home| practice games in basketball, which always lose money but we have added intercollegiate hockey to our winter| program, which we figure will pay| expenses,” said West. “Our intra-/ mural program will be kept up, if! possible, but we will be forced to buy | less equipment for the teams.” | o— Anderson Worries . i Coach of Trojans | I ne ae ae Los Angeles, Dec. 7—(®)— Coach Howard Harding Jones of the University of Southern Cali- fornia football team likes Notre Dame's grid mentor, and all that, but Hunk Anderson has been a big disappointment. This was apparent as Troy's head man stirred through a pile of newspaper clippings. He look- ed up with a heavy sigh and it was apparent the caustic com- ment Jones sought to help fire his players for the game had not been found. “Everywhere, it seems,” said ¢ | ° | | \ BLOW IN LO Boston’s Bruins Back on Warpath Halted For Three Periods By Americans But Score Twice in Playoff New York, Dec. 7.—(#)—The Boston Bruins, the team which put the “pow- er play” in hocxey and nearly ruined the National Hockey League with it, are back on the warpath again serving adequate notice that they are one of the many teams to beat in the cham- Pionship race. Against some of the strongest op- position they have ever faced, the Bruins again are rambling along to- ward the top, overpowering all rivals. They are tied with the New York Rangers for the American division lead. The tough defense of the New York Americans halted the Bruins for three full periods Tuesday night but after 62 scoreless minutes Big Nels Stewart crashed through to score and when |the A’s gambled on a five-man attack, Joe Lamb slipped away for another goal to make the final score 2-0. The Rangers held their tie for the lead with the famous Cookboucher forward line went on a scoring ram- page to defeat the Montreal Cana- diens 5 to 3, The Chicago Blackhawks took sole possession of third place in the Amer- ican group when they gained a 1-1 tie with the Ottawa Senators. ‘WOULD AID MERCHANTS Washington, Dec. 7.—(#)—Aid for retail merchants from the Recon- UNIVERSITY SQUAD HIT HARD SS OF WITASECK Lankin Youth, Rangy and Husky, Was Considered Promising Candidate Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 7—(?)— More tough luck has hit the Univer- sity of North Dakota basketball squad. Herman Witaseck, considered one to enter the university in several years, has been declared ineligible because of insufficient credits in class work, according to C. W. Letich, Sioux basketball coach. Witaseck, for three years outstand- ing high school center on the cham- pionship Lankin quint and center on the Nodak freshman team last sea- son, was expected to take a big part in North Dakota’s drive for a North Central championship this year, but he has heen forced to retire from the the Sioux. ‘The Lankin boy, over six feet tall and weighing more than 190 pounds, proved himself a sensational scorer and an aggressive performer on both offense and defense as a freshman.

O. (Pat) Page, Sr., former University of Chi- cago star athlete and present assist- ant to A. A. Stagg, Wednesday had become the leading candidate to suc- ceed the “old man,” as the Maroons’ | head football coach—as far as reports were concerned. George Veenker, head coach at Iowa State college under Thomas N. Metcalf, who will replace Stagg as athletic director at Chicago next year, is expected to remain at the Iowa in- stitution, having been named to suc- ceed Metcalf, leaving Page as the foremost choice among the guessers. It also was reported Jimmy Phelan, who gave Purdue an undisputed grid- iron title in 1929, before going to the University of Washington, also was in line for consideration. Phelan has said he would leave Washington if a suitable opportunity were offered. The Stanford situation, created by the resignation by Glenn 8. (Pop) Warner, also still held interest for ‘western conference fans, for reports persisted that Dick Hanley, North- western’s head coach, was under con- sideration. Hanley said he had not been approached, but admitted he would be interested in the Stanford job if it appeared attractive enough. Report Stanford Freshmen Stars Will Follow Pop Statement, However, Denies Rumor; Several New Men- tors Considered Palo Alto, Calif., Dec. 7—(#)}—The Stanford university campus, excited following published reports several freshmen football players intended to follow Coach Glenn S.

Insurance company officials have announced they will ald Miss Didrik- son's fight for reinstatement, but it appeared likely she would not play on the basketball team until the matter was cleared up.

Caras, who surprised the experts by winning the eastern sectional tournament here a few weeks ago, made his first start in the national championship at the Capitol Bil- lard Academy Tuesday night and whipped George Kelly of Philadel- phia 125 to 92 in 19 innings. Kelly was runner-up to Ralph Greenleaf in the 1931 championship. Caras played daring billiards against Kelly, consistently attempt- ing difficult shots at which veterans would shy. He ended the match, in | fact, with one of them, connecting with a tough across-the-table bank shot for his 125th point. Caras’ victory put him in a tie for the lead with Greenleaf, Bennie Allen of Kansas City and Pasquale Natalie of Chicago. Allen defeated Walter Franklin of Kansas City, 125 to 74 in 13 innings, and Natalie de- feated Frank Taberski of Schenec- tady, N. ¥., 125 to 65 in 26 innings Tuesday.

The passage of this be- came almost a certainty Tuesday when the International League joined the American Association in giving s approval. While the Pacific Coast league remains a holdout on the proposition, it is‘ indicated the majority of smaller cireuits will fol- low the move of the two leaders, Recalling that last year several minor clubs were compelled to fold up in mid-season because major. league clubs withdrew their financial support, the committee has recom- mended major league clubs operating farms be required to guarantee their operation for a full season.
