H:;I;X‘ANOOGA, ‘Tenn., Decem= sessic for base ball ills in general and lack of prosperity in particular. After a perfunctory organization meeting yesterday, the presidents of 24 minor Jeagues and many of their club executives came back today to report that millions of persons are remaining away from their base ball parks and something e)'::ul%‘ be do.l;g about u. Contrary the usual pi draft was not the big quel:r umy At the last few conventions this burn- en:’ topic has overshadowed all else, but dently it has been decided to permit this debate to over for a year.

DOBIE'S 108 IS SAFE AS CORNELL COACH Critics Ease Up as Gil's Team Breaks Even in Its Major Games. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, December 5.—Gil- mour Dobie stands secure in his job as foot ball coach at Cornell, where he is under con- tract until after the season of 1933. An alumni committee which criticized him last year is milder in its criticism this_year. ithough Cornell got only an even break in its four major games, winning from Princeton and Columbia and los- ing to Dartmouth and Pennsylvania, this represented a distinct advance over recent seasons. Cornell just saved it- self in the Columbia game, but held a lead over Dartmouth to th minute and set the pace Penn until Dick Gentle ripped off his 102- yard run for a touchdown. The committee pointed out that Cor- nell was a umv:rslty ‘which did not at- tract school athletes in great numbers because of a lack of “foot ball atmos- phere,” but asserted its disapproval of proselyting as a means to make up this differecne. The committee did recom- mend, however, that a wholesome inter- est in Cornell be stimulated in feeder .\n is award in | the rt. tlom! gloominess ‘Was seen as m evil lnflume. upon_the chances of Cornell foot ball teams.

HE results of foot ball games on the West OCoast this season proved that there were a num- ber of good teams on the Slope, but not one “wonder team.” California starting with seasoned ma- terial, first learned defense and then V- | took everything in stride. Price's eleven on successive week ends beat Santa Clara, tied St. Mary's, won from Wash- ington _ State, Pennsylvania, Olympic Club, University of Bouthern California. Montdna and Washington. Almost every one of these games was & nveu battle, and that series of four nmu mid- season—Washington Stad Penn at Philadelphia, Olympia Oluh at home and University of Southern California at Los Ann les—is enough to establish any gang as good. Stanford, underrated because of the difficulty of perfectly executing compli- cated plays early in the season, because of injuries in the latter part of the sea- son and because the Reds didn’t espe- cially care whether they won or lost the Santa Clara game (which they lost bull a week before the big game), was the logical winner of the big game be- cause of power and deception. ouuumhsn m’d af&?" pol.m !o.rl‘:gl game; Stan - mzmtmm-bmrmxnanu- dent n%n. Berkeley, sald: have but one objective next season, and that objective & victory over Stanford. I don't care if we lose all the rest of our games.” Southern California is, of course, an- other of the good teams. The Trojans | Pacific Coast Elevens Good, But None Rated “Wonder” Team beat University of California (L. A), Oregon State, Washington and Occl- dental by big scores, and rose to their heights -s-xns'. Stanford in midseason, winning 7 to 0. That game naturally took a good deal out of them physical- ly, and perhaps made them overcon- fident to a small extent, but as they had risen to their peak for Stanford, Cali- fornia outdid herself to beat them the next Saturday. University of Southern California, one shouldn’t forget, held Notre Dame to a 13-12 victory after passing only one Saturday following successive games against Stanford and California. Slip Madigan turned out an impres- sive team at St. Mary's. Madigan's men have beaten the Olympic Club and Santa Clara and in early season, before the Bears had an offense to speak of, they held California to a scoreless tle. ‘The Olympic Club is not a team to be counted on, because it is made up of young business men. They may be one week and bad the next. Santa Clara’s claim to 1929 fame was its vic- tory over Stanford the Saturday before the big game, and the Gael's victory over Santa Clara was by the margin of a single touchdown. St. Mary's had a strong line and two three good backfleld men, but their lack of reserve material and the com- paratively ug schedule made one hesi- tate to place them among the nationally great teams until they demonstrated their class by winning over Oregon Thanksgiving day. Oregon crossed St. Mary’s goal line, the only score this year, but the Gaels came through with a victory, 31-6. (Copyright, 1929.)

CELTIC BASKETERS REBUILDING QUINTET By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Dacember 5.—The orig- inal Celtics of New York, one of the most famous professsionai basket ball clubs, has found the going too fast in the American League this season. Due to a poor showing and small attendance in early season games, Manager Furey hu decided to reorganize the team and has sold three of his highest- ried players, it was announced today from league headquarters. Dave Banks, diminutive forward, was sent to For wnyne and Nat Holman and Stretch Meehan were sold to Syra- cuse. Another player, Riconda, was made a free agent. These deals also are expected to add strength to the two ‘weakest teams in the circuit. Syracuse, one of the trailers, is ex- pected to develop a strong combination with the addition of the two New York stars. In the trade they gave Babe Bar- low to New York along with a good bit of cash. The Celetics promptly sent him to the last-place Paterson’ Cres- cents. There is some doubt whether Banks will report to Fort Wayne, but if he does the Hoosiers are expected to send their star forward, Benny Borge- man, to Paterson. Borgeman, one- time Paterson player, is highly popular in the Silk City, well as being a star player. The Celtics, starting with Crimmins and McElwain, have added Jackie Page, & promising center who formerly played for St. John's College, to their roster, securing him from Brooklyn. They ex- pect to draw other players from strong Eastern minor semi-pro teams. Several players who formerly were in the American League are available from teams around New York. FORMER TITLISTS AGAIN SEEK CROWN Diegel, Hagen, Sarazen Are in Eight Playing Third Round Today. BY PAUL B. ZIMMERMAN. Associated Pross Sports Writer. 0S8 ANGELES, December 5.— ‘Three veterans of the links, on whose brows at one time rested the professional Golfers' Asso- clation crown, today will carry their campaign for another title to the third round of match play over the Hillerest ‘course in the anntal tourna- ment, bent on repeating. Heading the list of yesterday's eight survivors, and outstanding among the former champions who won their way through the second 36-hole round, are Leo Diegel, Agua Caliente, professional and defending title holder; Walter Hagen, five times victor in the event, and Gene Sarazen, New York, who boasts a brace of P. G. A. triumphs. Of the five others who stroked their way through the second round of match play, only one, Al Espinosa of Chicago, ever reached the final bracket. The reign of this trio of elite profes- sionals is destined to be brief, for before this day is done either the former open champion from the metropolitan dis- trict or “Larruping Leo,” wearer of the crown, will have been left behind. Die- gel, by virtue of his remarkable steady game, coupled wit] ground, is favored to come through. Hagen Plays Manero. The great “Halg” also is picked to parade through the third bracket, despite the fact that his opponent, Tony Manero, New York, has displayed re- markable form. Should these favored sons of the fair- ways pass today’s obstacles, they will clash orrow in the semi-finals, just h his great back- | as they did a year ago. The match in that event bids fair to overshadow even the final booked for Saturday. Although the second round brought Do upsets o(&lmp:gt, it was n&tlm‘“ close, heart-throbbing competitive play.
