Baseball Men Renew | Winter Trade Talks * New York, Feb. 3—(#)—Baseball men continued their mid-winter “huddles” today, engaging in trade talk and the weighty details of sched- ule-making after being the target for good-natured quips at the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers’ as- sociation.

Hank Greenberg of the Detroit Tigers nd Frankie Frisch of the St. Louis Cardinals for outstanding baseball achievements. ‘The presentation to Walker of an engrossed plaque, recognizing his au- thorship of the Sunday baseball law in New York state, prompted the former mayor to pay tribute to the sport.

Today, after a lapse of 25 years and as a pupil of the great Wagner, Vaughan is the champion bats- ‘man of the ma- Jors and in a fair way to becoming crowned the new king of the short- stops. He hit 385 last season. The shortstop of the champion Chicago Cubs, Bill Jurges, hit only .241 last season but topped all Na- tional League rivals on the defense. Vaughan | Bill Urbanski of the Boston Bees idropped from .292 to .229 but he won't be in there regularly this year if he doesn’t do better.

The Boilermakers displayed the best offensive of the scason in trouncing Chicago, 59-16, at Lafayette. Indiana will be favored in both of its tests, but may encounter a lot of trouble, especially from Minnesota. The Gophers lost their first four Big Ten games, then did a right about; face to score upset triumphs in their next three, winding up with a rous- ing 42-21 decision over Ohio State's favored five Saturday night. Indiana just nipped Minnesota, 33- 31, in their earlier meeting at Minne-} apolis, and if the Gophers operate to- night as they did against Northwest- ern, Michigan and Ohio State, the biggest upset of the season might take place. | College Results | (By the Associated Press) EASKETBALL Minnesota, 42; Ohio State, 21.

Unbeaten in the last year, Mann has risen to a high position in Iowa fight circles and this year was rated as the No. 1 middleweight of the corn state by Ring Magazine. According to Bill Hawkins, veteran ‘Towa boxing critic and sports writer, ‘Mann could have held down the top position among the welterweights but the better class of boys Mann has de- feated are battlers above the welter limit, hence, the rating. Hawkins is enthusiastic about Mann's abilities and he should know, for he has been connected with the fistic sport in Iowa for the past 15 years, manages a large gymnasium and is assistant matchmaker of Sioux City’s outdoor arena. He has this to say of Mann: Has Had Over 100 Bouts “Mann is an ambitious young ring- man from the east side of Sioux City that has been boxing for nearly five years with over 100 battles under his belt. ! “Since the first of last year, the Sioux City comer has had an average of two or more bouts each month and has not been beaten once. He has punched out wins over such tough men as Sock Cadwell of Sioux Falls, Jimmy Wooten of Omaha, Mickey tell of the New York Giants didn't add the punch expected of him last season Se he is a .300 hitter normally. !

The rules committee of the American Football Coaches associa- tion drew up its six specific plans at @ closed session here Saturday. They suggested two major changes, one to abolish the “slow whistle” which allows a ball Sa whose progress has been stopped to pass, kick or break away, and the other to ;do away with the first down penalty for interference with a kicker. ‘The coaches also urged that small colleges be allowed to use three of- ficials instead of four; universal adoption of the firing of a pistol to mark the end of a game; numbering of players in front and back; and players going down under passes.

Beise, rated by Bierman as “the best blocker in America” after the close of the last season, would aug- ment an already imposing “all-Min- nesota” line of coaches. The. resignation of Lowell (Red) Dawson as backfield coach to take over head duties at Tulane university created the vacancy. Bierman will likely make his decision this week.
