Brookes, the left-handed Australian, as his all- time No. 1 and No. 2 stars of the game. | In the “first ten” that he picked by | request, based upon the span of his; own competitive career plus the combination of “te ius and stroke production,” Tilden placed his old rival “Little Bill” John ston, no better than fifth and LaCoste | and Nusslein ahead of Johnston not{ because they were any better match | Players than Billy but because they| manifest greater all-around equipment and execution. “No finer sportsman or fighter ever stepped on the courts than Johnston, but he had his weak- enesses,” he said. “LaCoste and Nuss- lein, at their best, have no weakness. “Martin Plaa, the French pro, andj Gerald Patterson, the former Aus- tralian Davis cup star, do not quite measure up to the qualifications of my first 10.

D., Jan, 5—(4)—North Dakota University’s prospective North Sentral Conference champions ad- vanced far toward the title by a smashing 37-to-15 victory over the University of South Dakota Coyotes nere Thursday night. It was the visitors’ seventh consecu- | tive victory and second conference ; win without a loss this season. After trailing 6-0 at the start, the | Coyotes evened the count at 7-7 mid- ‘way in the first half, and although the opening period ended 17-12 to North Dakota's advantage, there was little to choose between the two | teams. | Plainly showing the effects of their ; gruelling game against Iowa Univer- | sity Tuesday, it was a tired and list- | | | \ { | Dakota in the second half.

Coach Al Cassell presented a sharp- shooting group of cagers in the Jim- my five that made good on difficult shots, pulled out a 24 to 11 margain at the half, and managed to cash in with enough points in the final period to stave off the Mac rush. The Jamestown club deserved the victory with @ well-balanced scoring vutfit that capitalized on a fast break and superior height in the center po- sition, The Macs could not find the vange on the basket during that first half and missed many short shots which might easily have changed the margin at the half. With Crouse, Peterson and Hall leading the attack and Thunem and Schauer contributing, the Jimmies took the lead in the first few minutes and were never headed. Crouse Scored 11 points for his share of the offense, Peterson got eight and Hall, tne big center, added 12. The big thing in the Jimmy attack was their accuracy both from the field and the free trow line. They missed only three of 14 chances from the gift line. Harold Smith, elusive forward, and Joe Deanovic, who worked in the pivot position, lecl the Mac offense. Smith contributed 13 points with four field goals and five free throws, while Big Joe added five field baskets and a free throw to total 11. Bob Halladay added some clever floor work in the second period. Jamestown will play the Ascension Club Friday night at Minneapolis. The lineups: Jamestown (43) a 4 3 Ihunem, c .

Giants’ Pitching | Will Be Stronger; Al Smith, Not He of Brown Der- by Fame, Will Join Hub- bell Et Al New York, Jan. 5—(?)—Watch out, you National Leaguers who thought the New York Giants’ pitching was pretty tough last summer. Bill Ter- ry’s firing squad will be augmented in 1934 by Al Smith. Not the big derby man from the Sidewalks of New York but young Al Smith, a left-hander. carried as a coach by the Giants last year. Jim Tierney, secretary of the Giants, is one who believes Smith is destined to cut a wide swath through the Giants, who were forced to hit against him in batting practice day after day, are inclined to agree. They missed too many of young Mr. Smith's swide-breaking curves to feel other- wise. Smith was tagged as a great Pros- | pect last spring but Terry had so many experienced moundsmen to yank upon that there was no place for | the young portsider. Shifting over to the New York Yan- ‘kees, it appears now as though any dispute Babe Ruth and Col. Jacob Ruppert may have over George Her- man’s 1934 honorarium will be con- ducted here rather than in Florida, where it has been an almost annual feature of the spring training season. ‘The Yankees plan to send out no contracts until Feb. 1, so Ruth will have nearly a month to wait before he finds out just what Ruppert will offer him. That it will be consider- ably under the $52,000 he drew last year is certain.

Sub-Par Golf Seen in Los Angeles Tourney Los Angeles, Jan. 5.—(?)—Sub-par oom Hol | goit was looked upon as a necessity for the money winners in the Los An- geles $5,000 open golf tournament, which begins Saturday. Three strokes were looped from par over the Los Angeles Country Club course by the 68's turned in by Henri Cuici of Flushing, N. Y., and Fred Morrison of Pasadena, Cal., in prac- tice.

The Post-Dispatch said Friday that negotiations have reached the point where not more than $100,000 stands between one group and the price set by the trustees of the estate of Philip; De Catesby Ball. While there is said to be a differ- { tors and trustees over the wisdom of selling the club at this time, the gen- eral belief in baseball circles is that the franchise and players will be {sold, probably before the start of the 1934 season, with the ball estate re- ‘taining Sportsmen's park.

Our schedules found teams of the same caliber playing and this was per- haps the cause of the low scoring, rather than anything the matter with our rules. The question of playing teams of} similar strength is considered now in arranging schedules because such games arouse more interest and it naturally follows, that means larger | “gates.” The public often gets as great a thrill out of seeing a defensive stand on the goal line as it does from seeing a team in action on the defense. The views expressed by Walter Oke- son, chairman of the national rules committee, at the recent meetings in Chicago are a good deal my senti- ments. He expressed the belief that except for some simplifications, changes in the present rules would be a mistake. Changes to promote this cr that method of attack, he pointed out, would further*complicate a code which already is too complicated. The game is a fine one and Okeson was right when he said the rules com- mittee should legislate not with the idea of furnishing a Roman holiday to the crowds, but always for the good ot the boys who play the game.
