TUESDAY, DECEMBER 138, 1932 Giants Part With Lindstrom in First Big Deal. in Annual Conclave © FREDDY WILLWN |COLLEGE FOOTBALL REVENUES FELL 27: PER CENT THIS YEAR | By Williams | SLUGGING WANERS | INPIRATE GARDEN’ Outfielder, Will Join Philadelphia | MANY TRADES ARE LOOMING! Glenn Spencer of Bucs and) George Davis of Phils Will Go to New York New York, Dec. 13—()—Inspired | by the first big player deal of the) annual conclaves, the magnates of the American and National leagues settled down Tuesday to three solid days of barter, lobby lounging, and serious efforts to prune the baseball | business of all unnecessary expense. | In every corner of the major league hotel headquarters, behind closed doors, on lobby settees, in fact any where that two rival managers could find space to argue, bidding for tal- ent broke out afresh at the example set by Bill Terry, young manager of the New York Giants. Bill vowed, soon after he took the reins from the hands of John Mc- Graw last season, that he'd trade every-man on the club if he got the chance—and the opposition is giving| him a chance to make that threat, | or promise, good. Tuesday night he sent Freddy) Lindstrom, a crack center fielder, to, the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-/ cornered deal that also involved the} Phillies. | Get Spencer and Davis | In exchange for Lindstrom and Chick Pullis, a substitute outfielder | who moves on to Philadelphia, the Giants received Glenn Spencer, a young right-handed pitcher, from) the Pirates, and George Davis, a fine| outfield prospect from the Phillies, formerly of St. Paul. To balance the third corner of the trade the Pirates sent Gus Dugas, 21-year-old outfielder, and a sum of! not announced, to the Phillies. | All the players involved are right- hhanders with the exception of Dugas, ‘@ southpaw slugger, who came to the| Pirates last year after clouting 419 with Kansas City, and hit 237 in 55 games, mostly as a pinch-hitter. | To the mind of the experts as-! sembled in great numbers for the! annual meetings, Terry's second big swap of the off-season gives the Pi- rates just about the strongest out- field in the National league in the two left-handed Waner brothers, | Paul and Lloyd, and the right-hand- ed Lindstrom, and materially en- hhances their chances of dethroning the championship Cubs. For some time there have been ru- mors, however, that the Giant star was not happy in his old surround- ings, and the trade lends credence to some of the stories circulated after John McGraw stepped down as the Giants’ manager, Terry stepped up. and Lindstrom’s work began to fall off. Although the club owners, in sep-| arate league meetings, had before, them the recommendations of the joint “steering” committee of the two major circuits for drastic economies, | trades still were of absorbing inter- est. Many Changes Brewing Vieing with suggestions for lower! ticket prices, further reduction of the player limit, and outlawing of radio} broadcasts for all but World Series games, were the desires of the various clubs to bring out changes something like this: Washington Senators — A young pitcher or a catcher from Cleveland in exchange for Harley Boss, slug- ging rookie first-baseman, who is ex- cess baggage in the caputal. Cincinnati Reds—A good outfield- | er, from any club, with every man on the Cincinnati club with the ex- ception of Red Lucas, Si Johnson} and Chick Hafey offered for choice. Boston Braves—Wanting a third- baseman, but refusing to consider any deal involving Wally Berger, Bill Urbanski, Bob Brown or Huck Betts. Brooklyn—Looking for a customer for Dazzy Vance, with Mickey Finn,| second-baseman, offered as special inducement. Philadelphia Nationals — Still in) the market for a second-baseman, | but refusing all suggestions concern- ing Chuck Klein, Don Hurst or Pinky} Whitney. i Chicago Cubs—Listening to any, and all propositions involving left-| handed pitching. | goiants—Open to all reasonable of- fers. gaa H YANKS HAVE NO DEALS UNDER CONSIDERATION New York, Dec. 13.—(P}—Rival | magnates, if they harbor any thoughts | of getting Col. Jacob Ruppert to pro- | duce his famous checkbook, have manifest Spartan courage so far in refusing to make any deal calculated to strengthen the world champion New York Yankees. Some years ago, when the Yankees Were on one -of their conquering marches, American League owners clapped on a player embargo in self- defense. With a few exceptions, such as the deal that brought Danny Mac- Fayden from the Red Sox last sea- Son, it has been effective ever since. ‘Thus it didn’t take long to spike the speculative rumor that Ben Chapman, fleet Yankee outfielder, might be 6f- fered to Washington, with some cash Sues fe of the Senators. “We might take Ruth and Ruffing, Gehrig and Gomez for Manush,” | | Chick Fullis, Substitute Giant} Fighting Irish Lose to Trojans, 13-0 coring on a pass in the holding Notre Dame econd quarter and a plunge in the third, the Trojans rolled up 13 points while ‘eless in their meeting in Olympic Stadium, Los Angeles, before 100,000 fans.

Craig Wood Wins San Francisco Meet | New Jersey Golfer Defeats Al Espinosa 1 Up in Freak Setting San Francisco, Dec. 13.—(#)—The title of 1932 San Francisco national match play open golf champion and) $560 went with Craig Wood, Deal, N.| J., professional, Tuesday as he headed | for Southern California winter tour- naments. The 3l-year-old former Ryder cup team member claimed top money by| defeating Al Espinosa of Akron, Ohio, | in the 36-hole final Monday. Frozen fairways and icy greens pro- vided a freak setting and handicapped the finalists. Espinosa went into the lead at the first hole and finished the first 18 one up, posting a medal score of 41-38— 79. Wood had a 42-38—80, Par for the Lakeside course is 35-36—71. Wood won the 20th to square the match and the pair halved the next nine holes. The veteran Espinosa took a 1-up lead again by winning the | 30th, but Wood evened up the affair | on the next hole. It was the turning | point of the match. The New Jersey} pro sank a 35-footer from off the green for a birdie two, Espinosa mak- ing a par three. By winning the 32nd, Wood went into the lead for the first time. Wood clinched the match on the 35th as he| dropped a 15-foot putt for a birdie} 4 to go 2 up. Espinosa drew down $344 as the runner-up share of the $2,500 purse. Windsor Ice Team Has New Manager New York, Dec. 13—(7)—A change in managers at Windsor caught and held the attention of International Hockey league fans Tuesday. Jack Arbour, veteran defense play-| er, was nam Monday night to pi- let the Bulldogs for the t of the! season, replacing Herb Mitchell, who/ had been given his dismissal a few hours earlier, The grounds on which Mitchell was relieved of his duties were not revealed but it was known he had been at odds with the boards | for some time. | A.

Coach Harry Kipke's answer is that Michigan's defense really is an attack, with plays called by the center instead of the quarterback. When opponents have the ball, Woolverine linemen may open a hole for the Michigan fullback to charge through, The difference is that instead of toting a pig- skin, the fullback goes through to maxe a tackle or block a punt. The defense has a big advantage opening holes—they are allowed to use their hands. Sometimes the fullback stays back to guard against forward passes and the center goes in, or an end rushes while the backs cover. It depends on what defensive signal is called by the center. Bernard Key Man Chuck Bernard was the key man of the Michigan defense this fall, and according to Kipke, de- served a great deal of credit for the maize and blue record. The Michigan eleven was equipped with seven different plays for use against punts. On number one the left tackle open- ed a hole for the left end by pull- ing the first blocker out of the way. The left guard charged | through and too out the second | blocker, so the end could get into the “alley” down which the ball must travel after it was kicked. Michigan’s number two let the right end through to the punter, with the right tackle pulling the | blocker to.one side. Captain Ivy. | ' Williamson blocked a Princeton punt on this play, and Bernard scored Michigan’s first touchdown. When Bernard called for num- ber three on punt defense, it meant that the Michigan full- back was to charge through cen- ter. Bernard pulled the opposing center to one side, and the Wol- verine right guard pulled the op- posing left guard the other way. Michigan used a seven-man line on this play. Plan Several Holes Number four punt defense play sent the fullback just outside the offensive right tacxle, with Mich- igan's left tackle and left end tak- ing out the punter's protectors. On number five, the center went through outside the offensive left tackle, with Michigan's right end and right tackle clearing his path.

This play was used when it was certain the opponents would punt. Michigan’s number seven signal was an order for every man in the line to block to prevent oppos- ing ends and tackles from going down under the punt, no attempt being made to block the kick. This was designed to help the Michigan safety man get started on a runback. Kipke points out that the punt- blocking plays may not be 100 per cent successful very often, but the usual result is shorter and less en spirals by opposing jacks, Denhoff Courtmen Defeat Hurdsfield Denhoff, N. D., Dec, 13—Denhoff high school rode to a 16 to 7 victory: over a basketball team representing Hurdsfield high school on the court here. In a preliminary contest, the Den- hoff girls rode rough shod over the Hurdsfield girls, 30 to 0. The boys’ game was featured by the defensive wori of the Denhoff guards. who limited the opposition to a single field goal in each half.

This compares with an estimated 15 per cent drop in attendance, a dif- ferencé due to the fact that ticket prices generally were reduced through- out the country or scaled in ratio to their desirability. Cash cutomers, although willing to pay the’ top prices of former years for the season’s most attractive gridiron offerings, mainfested a distinct un- willingness to pay as much as form- erly for a view of the proceedings from the end zones or outside the ten yard line. Custodians of the intercollegate gate receipts in most cases were re- luctant to give actual figures. A com- bination of estimates and percentages furnished the Associated Press re- vealed declines ranging from 5 to 50 per cent within a representative group of 40 colleges and universities A small and widely separated group reported increases, including Brown, Purdue and Wisconsin. Columbia's receipts went up, despite some reduc- tion in prices, but official figures were withheld. Oklahoma announced an increase of $3,000 in receipts over 1931. Washington university (St. Louis) and Mississippi State also reported gains in home-game receipts, due to sched- ule advantages. The extent of Notre Dame’s contri- bution to the national football busi- ness was shown by the aggregate “gate” of $1,415,000 for-all nine games played by the Ramblers in their coast-to-coast m. This was a reduction of only about 10 per cent as compared with last year’s receipts of $1,554,000, which, of course, were shared with Notre Dame's rivals at home and abroad. The “Big Three” on the Pacific Coast, Stanford, California and South- ern California, did a much better business than the East's old trium- virate. Princeton had a better season but receipts at Yale and Harvard fell off around 40 per cent. The decline was only about 10 per cent among the three California universities, although the University of Washington, in the Northwest, reported a 40 per cent Grop. | Fights Last Night ! eee ee (By The Associated Press) New York—Benny Bass, Philadel- phia, stopped Dominick Petrone, New York, (3); Jack Rosenberg, New York, outpointed Jimmy Varelli, New York, Wash., (8); Enzo Fiermonte, Italy, uotpointed Jimmy Varelli, New York, (8); Jimmy McNamara, New York, outpointed Jimmy Varelli, New York, Mexico City—Joe Glick, Brooklyn, N. ¥., and Alfredo Gaona, Mexico City, drew, (10).

If, however, a team is getting the jump with regularity and it is found that the defense of the opposing team is not strong enough to cope with the plays of- fered, I see no reason why, they should not be worked with sufficient fre- quency to run aip’a substantial lead.

Young Dave, only a sophomore, is doing pretty well against veter- an competition as he fights for a job as a regular. He has been in both practice games played thus far, as a reserve forward. And what does the parent think of the other half of the father and son act? “If I had the nerve to put him in there he might be better than two or three of the boys now. playing within a couple of days,” he said. “But he is a little slow and of course lacks experience. Act in Basketball Gymnasium He is a good shot and I expect him to help me pretty much this season. Coach Dave explained the lack ’ of nerve to which he referred was due to Dave, Jr., being his son. ‘Young Dave came to the Goph- ers by way of university high school in Minneapolis, where he was an outstanding athlete. He is 19 years old, six feet tall and weighs 170 pounds. The senior Dave, coaching his sixth Minnesota floor squad, is building a team around five let- termen, who survive a group that took runner-up laurels in the Big ‘Ten last season. Now and then the coach him- self gets into scrimmage, to show his squad how he helped win games for the New York Celtics many years ago before he began eg.

(Hal) Sims, winner of more national championships than any other man in the world. ‘The forcing two bid has been used in cortract for severai years, but it is only recently that the forcing three bid has come into ‘prominence. It was devised by Mr. Sims to show a hand just as powerful as the original two bid but one that wished to be- come the declarer, and sought infor- mation from partHler rather than as- sistance in selecting the correct dec- laration, To make an original three bid you must have a suit which does not call for any support from partner. If you have a two suit hand, the first suit named must contain at least six cards. The hand must also contain a suit which lacks an ace—in other words, it cannot be made on a hand containing all four aces, In making an original three bid, you are making a demand upon part- ner that he show you his aces re- gardless of the length and strength of the suit. When his hand contains two or more aces, he should name first the ace of trump if he holds it. Not | holding the ace of trump, he should |name his highest ranking ace.
