THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, Elimination of ‘Slo COMMITTEE DEENS , CODE REVISION NOT VITAL 70 FOOTBALL Dne Regulation Made Coaches ‘Lateral Pass Conscious,’ Says Chairman TACKLE SUBSIDY PROBLEM; Southeast Conference semen Hub of Heated Contro- versy in A. A. A. New York, Dec. 28.—(?)—Elimina- tion of the disputed “slow whistle” ruling of 1935 is the only change in the gridiron code planned by the na- tional football rules committee, its annual report to the National Col- legiate Athletic association disclosed Saturday. The report, presented by Chairman ‘Walter Okeson of Lehigh, pointed out the members felt a year ago that no major changes were required and that nothing has arisen to make action necessary when the committee meets @t Palm Springs, Calif., Feb. 14 to 16. The so-called slow whistle ruling has served its purpose of making coaches “lateral pass conscious,” Oke- son said. He declared that since there is a fairly. pronounced sentiment against dt, the rules would be better without it. There is no evidence, he added, to support the contention that this rule ‘was responsible for increased injuries. It said: “A runner who is on his feet even though he be held by an op- ponent may run, pass or kick until the whistle is blown.” Abetted Lateral Pass ‘When it was put into the rules, it ‘was indicated that its purpose was to make lateral passing possible when a player was tackled in an open field and that the referee should delay blowing his whistle until the progress | of the ball was clearly halted. In many cases officials, fearing “piling up” on the runner and conse- quent injuries, disregarded the sug- gestion. Other changes that have been sug- gested come largely from isolated oc- uurrences and are not vital to the ame, the report said. ‘As to the “slow whistle” the report explained: “This note was inserted as an ex- periment with the hope it might in- crease the effectiveness of lateral pass and further development of this type of play can proceed without its aid, if indeed it gives any aid.” Okeson’s report brought out the: necessity for a common basis of colle- giate and high school rules. The na- tional federation of high schools wrote | its own rules about three years ago,! differing somewhat from the college code. | SE ATHLETE SUBSIDY ACTION BEFORE A. A. A. New York, Dec. 28.—(#)—An open! discussion of the week's “hot” sub-/ ject—the recent action of the south-; eastern conference on subsidies for| athletes—was before the National Col- legiate A. A. A. Saturday at its final | session. In hotel lobbies and in closed ses- sions of the various organizations | which have met here this week, the matter has been broached frequently with the southerners explaining and Gefending their action while others argued one way or another. Major John L. Griffith, N.C. A. A. president, disclosed he intended to bring the subject into his annual re- port Saturday in order to encourage debate. The executive committee al- ready has decided not to recommend any action. “The whole situation boils down to this,” said Dr. Wilbur Smith, Tulane} athletic director, “we propose to treat’ students with athletic ability on the same basis as all others. The faculty ‘will control all scholarships or sub- sidies to such students. “The aid that may be given is strict- ly limited. The scholastic require- ments are unchanged. Everything ‘will be open and above board and I do not think there will be any danger of overdoing the benefits to athletics.” The other principal features on the NN. C. A. A. agenda were expected to ‘be @ vote in support of the American Olympic program and the annual re- port of the football rules committee, in which the elimination of the “slow ing Sam Baugh, one of the Js expected to Frogs meet Louisi Jeans, New Ye Plenty of r Day.

All-America end, wi Tilt High-Scoring Aces | Haarlow, Kessler, Whitlinger Will Battle for Individual Honors Chicago, Dec. 28.—()—If experienc- ed players in quantity means any- thing, the Big Ten is due for another red hot basketball championship bat- tle. The three teams which split the 1935 title, Purdue, Wisconsin and Illi- nois, appear to be just as strong as last year. Indiana, Michigan, Chi- cago, Northwestern and Ohio State look stronger. Only Iowa and Min- nesota seem weaker, ‘and the Gophers may spring & surprise. | Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio State, Minnesota and Michigan will head into the championship cam- paign next week with six letter- men available. Purdue, Chicago and Northwestern have five each. Towa has only three, and one of them, John Barko, a high-scoring forward, will be lost by midyear graduation. The individual scoring tussle should be just as sensational as the team battle. Both Bill Haarlow of Chi- cago, last year’s high man with 156 points, and Bob Kessler of Purdue, who finished second with 146, will be back in action, along with Warren Whitlinger of Ohio State, who had 125 for third. Three Pros Shoot 68 in Open Event Wiffy Cox, Al Krueger, Jimmy} Hines Post Sub-Par Fig- | ures at Pasadena Pasadena, Calif, Dec. 28—(?)—A tough 68—three under par—chal- lenged the remaining field in first round competition Saturday at the $4,000 open Pasadena open tourna- ment. Heading Saturday's quota of golfers seeking to hang up a lower score was Sam Parks, Jr. the national open champion, who just arrived from Florida tournaments. The low score honor for the first two days of play was shared by three hard-driving pros, Wilford (Wiffy) Cox, Bethesda, Md., Al Krueger, Be- loit, Wis., and Jimmy Hines, Garden an University when the Horned own about to toss one, will get » up in the air, Tigers’ Savoldi Wins ‘Heavy’ | Tourney in Mill City voldi, 188, St. Paul veteran, ruled the roost today as “Class A” victor in the heavyweight boxing elimination tour-; rament to disclose new talent. | He beat a fellow townsman, Russ Schultz, 186, by means of his greater experience Friday night in finals of @ 21-bout card marked by nine knockouts.

But while showing respect for the Mustangs’ aerial circus on the prac- tice field, Coach Thornhill added: “I’m not particularly worried over Southern Methodist’s passing attack. I was bothered a lot more by Califor- nia’s long ‘hope’ passes before and during the game. I think we can handle the Mustang short throws ade- quately.” Southern Methodist arrived Satur-|in day for four days preparation for the big game, after a brisk workout at| Tucson, Ariz.

Baseball remains in the headlines from the early stages of the training season until young Tom. Yawkey, wealthy owner of the Boston Red Sox, closed the $350,000 deal for Jimmy Foxx, Johnny Marcum, Roger Cra- mer, and Eric McNair. No other sport could hold the trade's interest throughout a 154-game schedule. Major league attendance increased more than 20 per cent. Minor leagues spread and flourished. The Detroit Tigers proved them- selves a real championship outfit, winning their second straight Amer- ican League pennant and going on to take their first world title in the mod- ern game by repulsing the surprising Chicago Cubs, four games to two, in a $1,000,000 series, No city ever went quite so wild as did Detroit when Goose Goslin drove the hit into right-center field that sent Mickey Cochrane home in the ninth with the run that made the Ti- gers world champions. The Cubs turned in an even more remarkable finish than that of the Cardinals of the year before, to finish four games in front of the St. Louis entry in the National League. From Sept. 4 to 28, the Bruins won 21 consecutive games. Babe Leaves the Stage After 15 years with the New York as vice president and outfielder. Af- ter only 28 games, even the immortal Bam was convinced that his legs would no longer carry his huge body, and he quit the club in a huff and bowed out of the sport for which he did so much. The All-Star game was played be- fore its largest crowd, 10,000, in Cleveland’s municipal stadium, with the American Leaguers winning for the third consecutive time, 4-1. Ford C. Frick spent a good share of his first year as National League president straightening out muddled financial affairs of the Boston Braves. This he finally succeeded in doing after the Braves set a new modern record with 115 defeats. Charles F. Adams, chain store, racing, and hockey magnate, retained his interest in the club, and honest old Bob Quinn left the to take charge of the front office, Lou Gehrig and Paul Waner, bat- ting champions, lost their titles to Buddy Myer of Washington and Arky Vaughan of Pittsburgh, respectively. Foxx and Hank Greenberg tied for Gehrig’s home run crown with 36, and Greenberg took Gehrig’s runs-batted- in title with 170.
