GREATEST BACK I'VE EVER | SEEN Base Ball Has Its Problems Financial Plight of Minors Is Big Leagues’ Business. BY TOM DOERER ASE BALL'S pow-wow sea- B son is under way and its echo will last far into the Spring training camp period.

What used to be a fighting ball club representing Potato City, Idaho, is now a big loop farm and all the civic pride New York or Washington. But that seems far better than Potato City having to progress without a ball If most of the small town base ball clubs depended wpon local money for sustenance they could not keep the bat boy in chewing tobacco. It now looms as if Judge Landis will either accept the farm idea in base ball or devise a plan which will give the minors money and the majors players. But nothing will come from the palaver. Nothing ever does. The majors will ride on because they have the shin- plasters and the minors will bellow and then submit. And, so far as the paying clientele is concerned, it does not seem to make much difference. The custo- mers want snappy ball games and care little who supplies 'em. Yet the fans would like to see a deal or two worth mentioning come out of the chinning festival out there in the West. I've heard it mentioned a few times in the last two days that one of the biggest deals base ball has seen in years will pop either this week or next. Something ought to happen in base ball. It is getting to be colorless and drab during the off season because the big man in Chicago has the magnates afraid to yodel above a whisper. The most interesting advertising base ball has experienced in recent years was Art Shires’ Winter escapades. And it is & pretty dull pastime when the only kick it can offer is a clowning ball player doing shenanigans on his day off. But I hear that the big deal is going to be a pip and is sure-fire to pop. F you think the all-America sucker will take the bait all of the time, the attendance at the Carnera-Campolo dreadnaught title battle ought to con- vince you that he does not.

HICK MEEHAN, whose contract at New York University expires this Winter, is being sought after by Tulane and, it is said, another college south of the chicken and corn pone ne. So it would be very, very nice, indeed, for the Chicken to smack down the un- defeated Tennessee eleven on Satur- day afternon when it goes to Babylon to meet N. Y. U. And do not let your frogskins gallop out too quickly to cover a bet that h does not, either. Experts contend that the game is a walkaway for Maj. Neyland's Vol- unteers. But the handicappers said that Army was a hike for the No- mads of Indiana, too. Now they say that it was a cinch for Army because the Sasse troupe eased against Har- vard, loafed at Pittsburgh and m’d up both barrels at Notre e.

Tulane, Tennessee, ’Bama Hold Foot Ball Leadership Depite Heavy Loss ALANTA, Ga., December 2 (#).— Loss of key men from their 1930 foot ball teams did not retard the Southern Conference grid- iron progress of Tulane, Tennessee and Alabama this year. These teams, the conference leaders a year ago, dug down in their reserve supply for replacements for those stars who were graduated last June, and re- turned to the gridiron wars strong enough to retain their high positions. Coaches Bob Neyland at Tennessee, Frank Thomas at Alabama and Bernie Bierman at Tulane will admit they had the material, but history shows that few teams can lose their main cogs and come back the following season with another great winning eleven. Bobby Dodd, one of the greatest quar- terbacks the South has ever known; Buddy Hackman, an all Southern half- back; Hug and Brandt, two fine ends; Thayer, captain and guard, and other lesser lights finished their three years of varsity play with Tennessee after the Florida game last December. But the volunteers have come through this year unbeaten and tied only by Kentucky. Derry Berry and Reyburn took over the end positions, McEver and Feathers replaced Dodd and Hack- man in the backfield and several excel- lent linemen were found. LABAMA lost 10 of its first 11 varsity players, but Frank Thomas took the second team of 1930, in- serted a few sophomores and reserves, introduced the Notre Dame system and lost only one game, to Tennessee, in early season. Preacher Roberts, a giant center; Bo- denger, one of the best guards; Mc- Canse, a tackle, and Holland, an end— one whole side of the line—left Tulane but Bierman had the replacements. His backfield was virtually intact, Haynes proved to be one of the best ends in Dixie, Lodrigues did & good job at cen- ter, and the line probably was even stronger than in 1930. Injuries and ineligibility of players ruined the conference season for Florida and North Carolina. Wallace Wade's | first year at Duke was not a whooping success although the Blue Devils won three, tied one and lost three of their conference contests and beat Villa Nova in intersectional combat. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.

Gorwin and Lewis did well of Stars of 1930 'HE victory over Florida and the fine stand against Pennsylvania were the only high spots of the Georgia Tech campaign. Maryland proved the best conference team in the northern section, losing only to Vanderbilt and tieing Kentucky. Mississippi met Tulane, Alabama and Tennessee in a row at the start of the year and never could get over this string of defeats. Disaster followed all four of Virginia’s conference teams and Vanderbilt had its poorest season in more than a dec- ade losing its four major Southern Conference games. South Carolina, North Carolina, State, Sewanee, Auburn and Louisiana State were somewhat better than a year ago, but Clemson, with little ma- terial, had a lean season. HOYA SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN GIRD Yearlings Struggle Tuesday for Right to Discard Caps. Dubofsky a Coach. PFreshmen and Sophomores of George- town University are preparing enthusi- | astically for their annual foot ball game, known as the “Battle of Caps,” Tuesday afternoon in Griffith Stadium at 2 o'clock. A victory for the yearlings would enéble them to discard the hated skull caps, while 8 Soph win will mean that the said caps must continue to be worn. Last year the Sophs, led by Ray Hudson and Jim Patterson, won an uphill battle, 13 to 12. Mush Dubofsky, varsity captain this year, is coaching the Sophs and Frank Kersjes is tutoring the Frosh. Injuries will keep some of the eligi- ble Sophs out of the game, including Tommy Carolan, Nick Viscovitch, Mack Stanley and Johnny Shimmins, and it is likely that the upper classmen will start about like this: Murphy and O'Rourke, ends; Konopka and Joe Katalinas, tackles; Hosey and Durandi, guards; Callahan, center; Kennedy, quarterback; Carpenter, left halfback: Smail, right halfback, and Trump, fullback. Coach Kersjes has not decided the PFreshmen line-up, but it probably will be about the same as recently faced the Western Maryland yearlings.

If the Green Wave can run up a score approximating that count an invitation to Pasadena in ‘all likelihood will be forthcoming. In the matter of records, which, ot course, mean absolutely nothing as com- parisons since they were compiled in different sections of the country, Tulane can boast of an undefeated season so far and an undisputed Southern Cone ference title. ‘Washington State, on the other hand, has absorbed beatings from Southern California, California and Washington.

Since it took a 13-7 beating from St. Mary’s of Oakland in the opening game of the season, Southern California has turned back in succession Oregon State, Washington State, Oregon, California, Stanford, Montana and Notre Dame.
