A—10 SPORTS." THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY. DECEMBER 30, 1930. SPORTS. - Foot Ball Declared Basically O. K. : Current ‘Bama Eleven Believed Best Ever ONLY MOVE TAKEN LESSENS PRAGTICE Later Fall Start, Voluntary Spring Work, Voted by Coaches’ Body. BY H. C. BYRD, EW YORK, December 30.— Probably no sport in the whole history of intercol- legiate athletics ever has been made the target for somuch criticism and the object of so much favorable comment as the present game of foot ball. Perhaps, though, it would be better to say t‘:‘rfi. conditions surrounding the game, or its management, rather than the game itself, are being thus criticized and defended. Nobody seems to have any criticism for the game itself. At least this is the situation if the varied sentiment expressed among coaches in attendance here at the annual meeting of the American Foot Ball Coaches’ Association may be accepted as a true indication. “PFoot ball needs to have a halter put on.it, and we coaches have got to recog- nize the fact and do the job ourselves or we will have it done for us,” is the ay one prominent coach expressed his view of the situation. *““We have got to wake up to the fact, as many of us have, that foot ball has some rather rank abuses attached to it, or rather, per- haps, to express it better, grown up around it, and we must eliminate them. Too much organization to operate the game is one thing and too much recruit- is another. And another thing, the cu;fims must prevent outside influences dictating the policies that govern the e ™ “There’s nothing wrong with foot ball and most of the criticism of it is not based on fact,” was the opposing view. “Take this question of over- emphasis. So far as I know, ther# is no such thing. The time given to prac- tice is the usual recreation period, and the question of commercialization of foot ball is just foolish, because there is no commercialization in the sense of what we generally understand by that term. Probably neither of the two views as expressed above is entirely correct, but the statement of them does show that there are widely divergent thoughts concerning the general situation sur- rounding foot ball. One group of peo- ple, including a small percentage of coaches, thinks that too much atten- tion is being given the game, that more time is allowed than the game is worth and that there is entirely too much emphasis placed on enticing good prep school material to enter certain col- leges. Another group feels that foot ball is not getting any more attention than its actual value warrants and gen- erally has the opposite position to that expressed above. However, the fact that the discussion about the situation is taking place indi- cates a healthful condition. most interested in the game are ning to say, “Let's see if there is any- thing wrong with the game, which as a zame ‘Ienenlly is valued above all others, and if so, let’s rectify it.” ‘Would Lessen Practice. Right along this line the foot bllli coaches yesterday adopted resolutions which place them on record as being favorable to whatever may safeguard the' interests of the game. and retain for the colleges its values and eliminate its abuses. This resolution sought first to state a formula that eventually will eliminate the Fall training camp, hold Spring practice to a moderate basis and limit the time for practice each day. In adopting this resolution the coaches re- affirmed their belief in foot ball in the following words: “We, the membe)s of the American Poot Ball Coaches Association, reafim our faith and believe in the virile quali- ties of the game of foot ball and its influence on the youth of the Nation in building character, courage, team play and clean living, and in view of the earnest discussion among all those interested in the welfare of the game and in a sincere desire to rid it of its objectionable features, be it resolved: “PFirst, that Pall foot ball practice start approximately September 15 and that there be no organized practice prior to that date. “Second, that post-season games he! kept to a minimum and that the benl interests of foot ball are against charity | games, except in exceptional cases. BONE, now off squad. WAVERLY ‘WHEELER. Alabama Eleven ASADENA, Calif., December 30.— ‘Washington State and Alabama, the Tournament of Roses foot b= ball standard bearers, found to- day not just Tuesday, but one of the| two remaining days before their inter- sectional clash. The nearness of the New Year day game sent the Cougars, representatives of the West, into a stiff final drill Coach Orin “Babe” Hollingbery plans to ease up tomorrow with, at most, a up work-out. ‘The Alabama crew, feeling the weight of its responsibility as the representa- tive of the South and East, went into a hard practice with the idea of polishing off its attack. Yesterday fell into the classification | of “just another day” and the teams took time out to visit Hollywood's film studios. The Crimson Tide visited a smd;o} where Will Rogers is making a picture gflkl’tcovm of the ball after a blocked The coaches were very insistent on recommending to the officials that an| interpretation meeting for the rules be| held in March instead of in Septem- Still Choice Over W ashington State Team | BY the Assoctated Press. and were his guests at luncheon. The Cougars watched Dorothy Mackaill and Mary Astor work before the camera. Rogers wisecracked the Tide out of its nervousness, brought on by prepa tion for the game. He told them he felt like an-alumnus of Alabama because he neard Senator Heflin make three speeches. And he warned them to “look out for these Washington apple knock- ers,” for there will be 11 of them out there all the time. Coach Wallace Wade of the Tusca- loosa_aggregation sent his men through a light work-out in the afternoon. As he watched the Tide roll through dum- my scrimmage he said Washin State was the strongest defensive team he had seen play this year. “I'm not saying they are not strong offensively as well,” Wade said, “I've only seen them play one game this year. ‘We ought to make two touchdowns, but I don't know whether that will be enough.” In the meantime betting continued to favor the 'Bama boys, although Hol- lingbery of the Cougars seemed uncon- cerned. He has kept his own counsel following a statement two days ago that the climate and condition of his men were 4urnishing him no sleepless nights. Earl Foster, graduate manager of Washington State, who is in charge of ticket sales, said the crowd probably “Third, that Spring practice be not ber, so that coaches might know more| would lack 10,000 of filling the bowl to compulsory upon players and be or-|with certainty what would be the atti- | capacity. ganized in moderation so as not to in- terfere with other sports. The practice during the Fall season shall not exceed two hours per day, -including afternoon and evening sessions.” | Pay Question Comes Up. During the morning session of the annual gathering of coaches, Hugo Bezdek of Penn State came out with a report of the Stabilization Committee which aroused the ire of many of the ccaches. It seems that “Bez” in pre- paring the report did not consult with other members of his committee and resented a report embodying his own eas. In the report were many valu- able features, but the coaches voted to table it and not accept the report as a whole or in part. ‘The one feature of the report more than any other which seemed to strike an antagonistic vein in the coaches was the suggestion that coaches be paid no greater salaries than the heads of other departments in the colleges with which the particular coach or coaches might be_ associated. Most of the coaches felt, according to opinions expressed, that the short tenures of office of the average coach and the unusual conditions that sur- round a coaching job warrant the pay ment of a larger salary to a coach than to the department head, whose job is much more sccure and stable. ‘With the exception of this salary roposition, the suggestions made by v dek in his report were very little diffcrent from the resolutions finally adopted near the close of the meeting. The resolutions adopted were proposed by Bill Roper. who finished his coach- | ing career at Princeton at the end of the season just closed. Against Radical Changes. The foot ball coaches, as did the officials yesterday, went on record as being against any radical changes in tne rules, and the suggestions they of- fered for consideration by the Rules Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association were minor. It was voted by a tremendous majority to retain the point after touchdown, but instead of awarding a point on this play on a penalty or taking away the point, as the case might be, it was de- cided to recommend that if the team mlns for the point commit a foul, the distance penalty for the foul be given and_ another try for the point allowed. If the team defending the goal commits a foul, then the penalty mignt be declined if the point is gained, and if the point is not made, then an- m&mmurm.pomcm to X It n.l::‘vu decided by an overwhelm- majority to ask committee to in fumble rule, which does not aliow a defensive player to run with the uall if it is recovered after a fumble by the offense.

Take the Initiative. | BY ALAN GOULD. | NEW YORK, December 30 (A).— College foot ball coaches and officials, it was apparent today, have decided to take the initiative in bringing about ‘much-debated reforms and eradicating the alleged evils of over emphasis. | Chief among these, as developed by | the consultation of foot ball coaching | experts and officlals within the past two days. are: 1. Abolition of Spring practice and | limitation of Fall practice for college | foot ball squads. 2. Active and immediate steps to curb the growing pains of subsidizing and recruiting. 3. Less emphasis on gate receipts, less prominence to the coaches’ control of the play and less commercial influ- ence in the make-up of schedules. | Salient among the steps already taken to bring the game back to normal is a definite move among leading Eastern colleges and universities to abolish al- together their programs of Spring training.

BY FOSTER HAILEY. Assoctated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, December 30 (/). —Gus Welch of the Univer- sity of Virginia, all-America Carlisle quarterback of the days of “Pop” Warner and Jim Thorpe, was en route back to the 0ld Dominion today with the famous “brown derby.” Gus won the derby in honest verbal combat with the other wits of the American Foot Ball Coaches’ Asso- ciation at their annual banquet, which ended in the early morning hours with the compctitive story telling for the honor of the iron hat. The winning story was this: Carlisle was playing Cornell and it was a tough game. Thorpe scored & touchdown against the big Red team and the Indians went to defensive | play. There was one big guard, 220 pounds, who was lying down on the job. All Gus' urging couldn’t get him to wake up and stop the Cornell plays. Finally it was Cornell’s ball on Carlisle’s 10-yard line, goal to go. “I was thinkin' hard,” said Gus, waving an unlighted cigar, “and I had an idea. I was playin’ safety, but I called Jim back and went up to the line. Then I went over to the | referec and I told him, ‘If you see me slug somebody it won't be a Cor- nell man, it will be one of these In- dians.” “The play came through this big guard. I ran up and there was a big pile-up with tHis guard at the bot- tom and his face showing on one side. I reached down and with my hand flat—like this—I slapped him. “The pile heaved and up he came, a nice rosy mark on his cheek. He rushed over and said to the refefee, ‘D\q you see that? Cornell slugged me.’ “The referee laughed and said, ‘That’s all right, I'll get them the next time.’ #On the next play this big bird went through and nailed them for a 3-yard loss. On the next play he got a Cornell back for a 2-yard loss. On the next play he nalled “im 3 yards behind line.” He and Thorpe worked on the guard for three years with those tac- tics, Gus said, and won a lot of ith, Pennsyivania.

He looked at me for a minute and then he said: “‘Why I've sald a lot of mean things to those referees. I must w‘rlu them all a letter and apolo- K”Hen'a the brown derby,” sald Maj. Frank Cavanaugh, who was presiding. IM CROWLEY of Michigan State, the famous “Sleepy Jim” who rode with the “Four Horsemen” at Notre Dame, might have won the prize if he had spoken his piece during the “brown derby” compe- tition, but his was sandwiched in with the program put on by the paid entertainers. It proved the hit of the evening. “T'll try to give you a picture of Rockne talking to his team before & game,” Crowley said when he was finally induced to go to the platform and “do something.” “It's the Army game of 1924. We are sitting around in the dressing room about 10 minutes before the game when the door opens and that black, shaggy head comes in the dml)r. (Rockne is bald as a billiard ball.) “‘Army tells me that they are going to kick you off the field, and then kick you off the schedule, Rockne says. ‘I don't believe they can do “‘Walsh_(brusquely), I'm going to put you in at center, and I want to see you play - 60 minutes of ha-a-a-r-r-d foot ball.

You didnt do so good in that Wisconsin game. Collins —' And so on through the rest of the seven Mules and Stuhldreher, Don Miller and Layden of the backfield. To each one Rockne addressed some caustic comment on their previous play and their duties that day. Miller was to “do some bl in there today, we've got to shake Crawley loose.” “Then he turned to me,” said Jim, and said: ‘Jimmy, will you go in at left half—'" There might have been more to Crowley's story, but if there was he couldn’t have told it. There was too much noise. CONFERENCE QUINTS HAVE NEW HANDLERS Seven Teams in Dixie Organization Change Mentors and Raise Hopes of Success. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., December 30.—Seven Conference basket ball teams will have new coaches this season, and hopes are high for better results. Virginia Polytechnic Institute is try- ing out its third hard-court mentor in as many years. Charles ‘“Dusty” Rhoades, former Polytechnic star, is to have charge of the Cagers. He suc- ceeds Bob Warren, who returned to his alma mater, North Carolina State, to handle the freshman aspirants. Ed Walker, who took over the foot ball duties at the University of Missis- sippi last Fall, also is to have charge of the basketeers. Gus Tebell, who brought North Caro- line State a Southern title in 1929 and finished well up in the standings last year, has moved over to Virginia. His greatest need is a center. . Kentucky, which made its best basket ball showing in years in 1930, is to learn a new system under Adolph Rupp, former Kansas star. Rupp follows John Mauer, who resigned. Dr. Ray Sermon, the handy man at North Carolina State, is to coach the Wolfpack. Dr. Sermon, athletic direc- tor, took charge of the foot ball team in midseason after John Van Liew re- signed, and is also to fill in as basket ball coach, since the school has not found a mentor to take Tebell’s place. Auburn, always a threat in basket ball, is to have Sam McAllister, former- ly of St. Viator's College, Bourbonnais, 1ll, as mentor. McAllister coached for four years at St. Viator, and his cage teams were either champlons or run- ners-up for the Ilinols intercollegiate title each year. He has six of jgst year's seven letter men back. Washington and Lee, which won the Virginia championship last year, starts the new campaign under Ray Ellerman, former Wisconsin court champion and assistant to Dr. W. E. Meanwell at that institution. - GALLAUDET FIVE DRILLS Will Play Strayer Team Saturday in Kendall Green Gym. Gallaudet’s basket ball squad, with one win and two defeats as its record to date, now is drilling energetically for its game with Strayer Saturday night in the Kendall Green gymnasium. Despite that following its game with Strayer it will meet Maryland, Ben Pranklin, Catholic University, Ameri- can University, Drexel, Baltimore Uni- versity, St. John’s of Annapolis, Shep- herd and Maryland State Normal School with little rest between games, Gallaudet has by no means given up hope of bettering its last season’s rec- ord of 10 wins and 6 defeats. The Blues are counting upon their veteran squad to see them through. New hoops have been installed and both the backstops and floor have been refinished on the Kendall Green court. YALE ;’ICKS HUTCHINSON Succeeds Jones as Head of Advis- ory Foot Ball Body. NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, December 30 ().—The Yale Athletic Association has announced the appointment of Guy Hutchinson, '06, of New York, as chair- man of the Yale Graduate Advisory Foot Ball Committee for 1931. He succeeds Tad Jones, former head foot ball coach at Yale and chairman of Advisory Committee for past three years. Besides the chairman, the com- mittee for next year will consist of six members, one of whom is Ed Leader, rowing coach at Yale sinc 1922. RIFLE MATCH LISTED. In addition to the undergraduate- varsity basket ball game the present Central High School rifle team will meet a graduate combination Thursday at Central when the alumni holds its annual reunion. Ross Fryer is captain of the undergraduate rifle combina- tion, while Richard Radue will lead the alumni. CRIMSON HAS YET 70 LOSE ON COAST Sington, Clements Bulwarks of Powerful Line—Cain Colorful Genefal. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. O8 ANGELES, Calif.,, Decem- L ber 30.—Followers of the University of Alabama foot ball team that meets Wash- ington State College in the an- nual Rose Bowl game at Pasa- dena, January 1, believe the pres- ent Crimson Tide is the strongest eleven ever to come out of Tusca- loosa. Alabama will be playing its third Rose Bowl game in five years when it faces the Washington Cougars, and it has yet to meet defeat on the Pacific Coast gridiron. The Tide defeated ‘Washington University on January 1, 1926, and tled Stanford a year later. There were great players on those other Alabama elevens—Pooly Hubert, Grant Gillis, Johnny Mack Brown and Red Barmes—but the present Tide is the best of them all, say the camp fol- lowers of Alabama, who are here in numbers. Alabama has a great defensive eleven and the bulwarks of its power- ful line are Fred Sington, the -all- America tackle, and Capt. (Foots) Clements at guard. Clements received his mickname from the size of his feet. According to the yarns going around Pasadena the Alabama leader wears & size 14 shoe and brought several extra pairs along for the Rose Bowl game, to be prepared for any eventuality. May Shift Sington. 8in, was practically a unanimous selection for all-America honors, and he looks the part. He is big, strong and very fast; he has a devastating offensive charge and little or nothing | H: gets past him when the Tide is on the defense. Coach Wallace Wade of Ala- bama is considering shifting Sington to guard for the battle against the robust Cougars from Washington, but the de- cision is not yet definite. In the Alabama backfield Hurry Cain | is one of the most colorful personalities —the little halfback is an all-around southpaw; he boots with his left foot and flips passes with his south-side arm. He not only is a deft passer and fine kicker, but he also is a good hand in running with the ball and a clever field general. The Alabama team does not use the huddle system, but calls its signals in the good old-fashioned style, and Cain's voice is a regular dynamo in spurring the Southerners into action. Suther, the speed merchant of the Tide backfield, and Campbell, a big fullback, are certain to start, along with Cain, but Tucker, a blocking back, who also can pass, may start at left half in place of McRight. Alabama will have something of a weight advantage over Washington, al- though that may not mean a great deal. ‘The Southern ends—Moore and El- more—are more of the tackle type than one usually finds on the wings, but very fast and good all-around workmen. Alabama has been installed as favorite in the game, but there are some close followers of the sport who believe Wash- ington will spring a surprise. Tall But Shifty. The keyman of the Washington team will be Capt. Mel Hein at center. Hein is one of the best middlemen of the ear and a tornado on defense. Hein s an odd-looking youngster for a line position. He has regular pipestem legs and at first sight would be taken for an end rather than a center, for he is 6 feet 2 inches in height and shifty as a jack bit. Both Alabama and Washington State are in prime condition for the game. The weather of the past few days has been chilly and very favorable for the development of foot ball teams. A change for warmer days would be no handicap to the Alabama squad, and the Cougars are naturally inoculated to Pacific Coast climate. ‘The game will mark Wallace Wade’s last appearance as Al: coach, since he goes to Duke next Fall, and a vic- tory for the Crimson Tide would give Wade an unsurpassed record in Rose Bowl competition. The Tide coach is naturally reticent about making any predicions on the game, but he has every confidence in his team that came through a long, hard season unbeaten. Alabama is working hard to perfect a tight forward pass defense, since it may be in the air that Washington will be most dangerous. Although Los Angeles still has not re- covered from the defeat of University of Southern California bY Notre Dame and has had two foot ball fnmen in the t four days, interest in the Rose owl game is high, and a sell-out is expected. SOUTHWEST GRIDMEN ARE MADE FAVORITES Picked to Annex Charity Contest Despite Success of Midwest in Previous Years. By the Assoclated Pres DALLAS, Tex., December 30.— Despite the fact the Midwest has been victorious in two previous Dixie classics, the forces of Coach Bob Zuppke likely will be short enders in their charity fray against the Southwest All-Stars hers New Year day. ‘The_squad being drilled by the vet- eran Illinois mentor appears fully as powerful as that which won for Coach Jimmy Phelan a year ago and is being equipped with what Zuppke termed a “Grange offense,” but the joker lies in the strength of its opposition. The Southwest eleven promises to be fully 50 per cent stronger than that which has represented this section in the last two engagements. The arrival last night by airplane of five outstanding Southwest stars who participated in the East-West tilt at San Francisco three days ago rounded out the “home” squad and caused sentiment to veer sharply to their side. The five who made the flight from Los Angeles yesterday to workout with the Southwest team for the first time today were Jake Wilson, Bochey Koch and Louis Paradéaux of Baylor, Louie Long of Southern Methodist, and Noble Atkins of Texas Christian. Coach Jen- nings intends to start Wilson at quar- terback, Atkins at Center, and Koch as one of the guards. The trio, especially Koch, did yoeman service for the West in Saturday's game. Others whom _Jennin indicated would start Thursday for the Southwest were Peterson (Texas) and Lott (Okla- homa Aggies), ends; Witcher (Florida) and Hackman (Tennessee), halfbacks, and Dale (Arkansas), fullback. ‘While Zufph stands by his avowed intention of down his oppo- nents with a running offense built about Jensvold of Iowa, Kissell of Purdue, and Molloy of Loyola, the Midwestern eleven indulged in a lot of plain and fancy passing in practice yesterday. ——— Several amateur base ball teams have organized in Australia. »nd the game is reported to be popular there.

GEORGETOWN QUINT ENDS TRIP TONIGHT Plays Powerful St. John's Team in Brooklyn—Losers in 23-to-22 Tilt With Manhattan. BROOKLYN, N. Y., December 30.— Georgetown University's basket ball team will wind up its invasion, of Man- hattan Island with a stand against the strong St. John’s quint here tonight. The Hoyas have lost all three of their games thus far on the trip and are pronounced underdogs in the match with St. John's, which last season won 23 out of 24 games and was generally regarded as the best college team east of the Mississippi. Manhattan handed Georgetown its third straight defeat last night, 23 to 22, on the New Yorkers' court. With nine minutes to play the Hoyas were in front 22-13, but Manhattan then rallied, with Dan Kelleher in the clos- ing moments finding the cords for the floor goal that gave his team victory. Kelleher scored after cutting in on a Hoya pass and dribbling half the length of the court. It was the fourth straight win for the Jaspers. It was a grueling fight all the way, with the lead frequently alternating. Manhattan was clinging to a 13-12 edge at the half. Kelleher for the winners with 8 points and Morris for Georgetown with 5 were the highest scorers. Line-up: Manhattan. (33). Georgetown (22). GF. PPt G 1 2 2 3 8Bl vrascnnoc? Craig, Totals.
