This is short of the standards in longevity and tradition set by Har- vard and Yale, founded in 1636 and 1701, respectively, but it comes pretty close to making Brown a charter member of the “Ivy League.” More significant, however, ts the fact that the Brown football schedule for 1936 reveals relations with no less than five of the seven universities currently banded together in baseball, basketball and track athletics. while also Working out plans for the forma- tion of a football conference. ‘The Bruins are slated to play Har- vard, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Yale and Columbia next year. Cornell—The “baby” of the proposed conference, having been founded only 70 years ago — and Princeton have cordial relations with Brown, even though neither is in position to sched- ule the Bruins regularly. The idea, however, is not to isolate the conference, known as the “Ivy League,” from competition with other colleges. In fact, so far as football is concerned, four games within the group probably will be considered par for any season. . Bears Could Beat): Any College Team, Says Former Ace Allen, Gridder and Lawmaker, Believes Nagurski Prac- tically Unstoppable Washington, Feb. 7.—(?)—The Chi- cago Bears, with Bronko Nagurski hurtling toward the line, possess the most ‘Thu dangerous play in football jay, says Rep. Leo Allen of Ili- nt a former professional gridder. “I doubt if a defense can be de- vised to prevent a gain,” opines this Michigan halfback of 1920-21 who played three years of professional ball with the Galena, Illinois, triangles. “If you wait for him that powerful runner will go through for yardage and if you come up he'll leap and Pass over the line. me how he ever is stopped.” Allen regards Ken Strong of the ‘New York Giants as the best all- around player of 1934, with Nagurski as the king of the hard-plunging type. This compact, short 170-pound law- maker takes his stand with the group} which believe a good pro club can beat a good college team anytime. “The Bears or the Giants, I think, could have taken Minnevota, Ala- ‘bama or Pittsburgh,” he Rain Fails to Halt Agua Caliente Meet Agua Caliente, Mex., Feb. 7—(?)\— Prepared for heavy going and high scores, the cream of American golf- ing talent brought out slickers and umbrellas Thursday for the initial round of the sixth annual Agua Cal- iente golf tournament.

Ah still got friends. That's the same amount Langford got for his first professional fight in Boston in 1901 when he knocked out Jack McVickers. He fought them all after that, from lightweights up through the heavyweights, He never ‘weighed more than 170 pounds. He lost a ten-round decision early in his career to Jack Johnson, knocked out Harry Wills a couple of times. He fought for seven years with one Recruit Hits From Wrong* Side of Plate New York, Feb. 7.—(NEA)—Mickey Cochrane admits that the Detroit Tigers could use another right-hand hitting outfielder to advantage but does not know where to obtain one. That being the case, Cochrane has decided to do the next best thing— make the most of what he has. The ignited Irishman did a fairly good job of that in his managerial bow in 1934, “Jo-Jo White developed rapidly in the last two months of the season. I am counting on the litt! Geeorgian to start in center field, flanked by Goose Goslin and Pete Fox,” says Cochrane. A great majority of baseball men ‘could not associate an outfield com- Posed of Goslin, White, Fox, Gerald Walker, and Frank Doljack with a Pennant-winning outfit. Goslin, 33 and with 15 years of ser- vice behind him, had been traded by Washington for the younger Rocky Stone. White hit only .252 ip 1933, and Fox only .288. Walker ran bases like a chicken with its head cut off. Doljack had a minor league complex. The outfield was “the laugh of the league.’ As Cochrane Sees It “While we were lucky in complet- leye—and no one knew it—after Fred Fulton connected with a right to his temple in 1917. He must have made hundreds of thousands. The toughest fight he ever had was the 1914 battle with Wills in Los An- geles, when he was nailed with a Tight under the gun, was floored three times in the first round, three more ‘in the second, again in the third, and came back to knock the “black men- ace” out in the 14th. “Ah sure was glad to man that night,” he sai UNDUP get rid of that id. 717 ‘771 746 2234! e . ‘Wayne Osborne PIRATE PEAGREEN PITCHER IS _FOUR-FINGERED WESTERN STAR By NEA Service If Three-Fingered Mordecai Brown could achieve fame as @ star of the old Chicago Cubs, Wayne Osborne, young Pirate right-handed hurling ;Tookie, figures he ought to gain some {measure of greatness with e more Gigit on his throwing hand. ‘The four-fingered rookie was pur- chased from the Missions, of the Paol- ing a season without a serious in- jury, and were regarded as having had breaks in other ways, no other American league club has strength- ened to a point where it is an out- standing threat,” explains Coch- Tane. “I look for @ close and exciting race with any one of four clubs likely to finish in front—Detroit, New York, Cleveland, and Boston. Philadelphia may be quite a bit better, and give the contenders plenty of trouble.” Fox, the right-hand hitting regu- lar, is the outfielder Cochrane sought to replace. The Evansville workman, who wound up with an average of -288 last year, lacks the consistency id power at the plate demanded of & flychaser. Naturally, the Detroit club would have liked to have landed Al Sim- mons, of the White Sox. What array wouldn't? There are other retrievers whose presence in the lineup of Frank Navin's aggregation would make its appearance in the 1935 world series vastly more certain, but even an owner with a bankroll the size of that of Tom Yawkey of the Red Sox can’t buy everybody he fancies. ‘When Cochrane concluded shop- ping the best he could show was Suitcase Seeds, purchased from Cleveland largely because he hits right-handed. After five years in the American League there is little else to recommend the tall Texan. Hits From Wrong Side Unfortunately, the Tigers’ out- standing recruit outfielder of 1935 swats the ball from the left side of the plate. He is Chester Morgan, who gets places in a hurry and who top- ped Texas League batsmen with a mark of .342. “Many do not give White and Fox full credit for their speed,” asserts Cochrane. “White really had a phe- nominal year. He hit .313, figures show him to have been the most re- Mable baserunner in the American League, and he covered acres ‘ of ground in center field.” Among them, White, Fox, and Walker swiped 73 bases last season. White attempted 34 thefts, and was thrown out only six times, for a per- centage of .823, the best in the cir- fic Coast League, where he won 16 and lost 18 last season. ‘Twenty-three years old, Wayne has the build to go the route in the ma- jors.

Bill Werber, the Boston third base- man who led in stolen bases with 40, was tossed out on 15 occasions, for a percentage of .727. Fox, who pur- loined 25 bases, was thumbed out 10 times, leaving him with a percen' of .714. Walker, who stole 20, failed to slide safely nine times for a per- centage of .689, If Walker settles down to playing sane baseball, he has it in him to fill the right-handed hitting bill in the Detroit outfield. That is why the club hesitates to make a deal for the Mississippian. Walker, who possesses @ vast amount of natural ability, hit UP! 300 in 98 games in 1934. Cochrane wouldn't exactly care to see him re- turn in enemy livery and break up games at Navin Field. Miracle Mike would rather win pennants with “the laugh of the laugh of the league” than have the laugh on him. Wahpeton Wildcats Wahpeton, N. D.

Victorious in their first encounter by a scant margin of one point, the Demons will have a slight edge in the coming fray by virtue of playing on their home floor. In the first game Played at Dickinson last week the lo- cal quint spueezed out a narrow 27 to 26 victory when Captain Billy Owens popped in a one-handed shot from near the foul line in the last ‘half minute of play. Last week's defeat was the first of the season for the Midget five and the second in two years. The western state quint har defeated Mandan, Jamestown and Williston already this year matching the Demons’ record game for game. Stress Passing Attack A week spent in passing drill has improved the Bismarck high school’s offense and Coach LeLeod will present @ full-strength line-up for the en- counter Saturday. Probable starters will be “Peck” McGuinness and Neil Croonquist, at forwards; “Zip” Sors- dahl, at the pivot post and Buddy Beall and Billy Owens, in the back court. Bud Kanz, who is rapidly becoming accustomed to his special knee brace, is pressing Beall for a position on the first five and will likely see action Saturday if the going gets tough. ‘Whether or not Crawford, lanky pivot star for the Midgets who was taken from the game last week with |! an injured ankle, will be ready to play Saturday was not definitely known here. Crawford was hurt as he went in to make a bucket that gave the Dickinson cagers a two-point lead late in the fourth period. Imps to Play Wilton A preliminary game between the Imps and the Wilton high school ‘quint. is scheduled to get under way at 7 p. m., with the main attraction called for 8 p. m., at the World War Me- morial building gymnasium. The local reserve team will be out to avenge previous 31 to 30 setback they suffered at the hands of the Wilton cagers in an early season game. The St. Maty’s team will remain ‘out of competition this week prepar- ing for a hard schedule next week which will find the Saints pitted against the Bluejays at Jamestown Wednesday and against the Mobridge, 8.
