By the Associated Pres: EW YORK, January 7.— Babe Ruth not only thinks he still is worth $80,000 a year to the Yankees, depression or no de- pression, but he has no idea whatever | of quitting the game so long as he can hold his own with “these young fellas.” “I might like to be a manager of a big club some day, although I haven't given that much thought,” said Ruth. “I want to round out at least 20 years playing as a regular and as many more as I can go. The only thing I don't went to do is hang around so long they have to show me the bench or the gate and tell me I'm just an old man. But the way I feel now I'm good for at _least five more years.” In better condition today than he ever has been and with the figures of his_trainer, Artie McGovern, to prove it, Ruth is ready to show his employer & number of good reasons why he should be kept on the pay roll without a cut. “I haven't talked it over yet with Col.

SHIRES AND KNOTHE ONLY NEW BRAVES McKechnie Has Lots of Tal- ent for Trades, but Has Executed Only Two. By the Associated Press. OSTON, January 7.—The off sea- son has been the dullest in years for the Boston Braves and new faces will be few when Man- ager Bill McKechnie starts the 1932 operations in St. Petersburg, Fla. late next month. Intra-Mural Gridiron Play Proves Lamentable Failure, Is Abandoned at Lafayette BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, January 7.—Lafay- | ette has dropped her system of intra-mural foot ball with a great deal of apparent satis- faction. The whole scheme has been rooted out, as a gardener grubs out plants that have failed and merely clutter up space. In other words, the Lafayette plan has failed. Reasons for the failure, and, in fact, the full experience of the institution at Easton in intra-college foot ball might repay the investigation of university authorities, athletic and otherwise, at Harvard, Yale and Princeton. For at recent gatherings in this city of athletic directors, coaches, faculty men and other authorities of the col- leges of the country it became increas- ingly evident that these three aged seats of learning are looking forward to certain very radical changes in the conduct of athletics. At Harvard the undergraduate living halls are now in active use and plans are being considered to draw these various dormitories together in athletic concert. Yale is looking forward to the time | when her quadrangular dormitory sys- tem will go into effect. She, too, must consider the question of athletic com- petition among the students of the Te- spective living areas. Princeton, expect- ing no such change in living as has | been promulgated at New Haven and | cambridge, has none the less expressed | herself as willing to arrange interclass | and interclub sports upon approximate- |1y such terms as Yale will devise.

Minnesota and Houghton Teams Meet in Olympic Semi-Final. MINEAPOLIS, January 7 (#).—The University of Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula team of Houghton, Mich., meet here tonight for the right to enter the finals of the United States Olympic bockey championship. Tonight’s winner is scheduled to leave immediately for New York to play for the title against a New York-Boston combination, probably on Sunday. Minnesota, however, has protested the Olympic Hockey Committee’s plan to placing the New York-Boston team in the finals and it was not certain today whether the Gophers would go East in the event they should win tonight, 1 and Ed | ade some of them.

Guard (4) has recov- ered the ball and his teammates rush into positions shown in the diagram. _Immediately, the Idaho forwards (2 and 3) swing upcourt toward their guards and pivot di- rectly behind the opponents of these guards to block them. Center (1) now breaks for the foul iine and takes a pass from 4. Meantime, guard (5) has broken clear of his opponent and is coming down the right side of the court at full speed for the basket. No. 1 passes him the ball for & close-up shot. The other guard (4) has a and a regular schedule was observed. It was found in many cases that boys played who did not care for the game and were forced into it through the opinion of their comrades. These were exceedingly ill-matched. A huge 190- pounder, who had missed out on the varsity, would be found playing against a weeny stripling who weighed 50 | pounds less. Good men were all found in the backfield, the clumsy and the inept players on the line. The result Was an unceasing number of injuries, some of them very grave. So in the end the whole plan has been thrown out and in its place will be the development of 150-pound foot ball and the organization of a “B” squad team which will play regular games. Herb McCracken advises the writer that with the best will in the world on the part of the college authorities, intramural foot ball proved a lament- able failure and that there are hardly any students who are sorry to see it go. GOPHER DIRECTOR’S RESIGNATION FORCED Probers Told of Council's Action. Faculty Favored Thistle- thwaite for Post. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis, January 7.—The University of Wisconsin Athletic Coun- | cil requested George Little to resign as | director of athletics, the Legislative Committee, investigating the athletic department, was told at a hearing here. In approximately an hour late yes- terday the committee gained an insight into athletic affairs at the university, which has been only a matter of con- Jecture for the past several weeks. |7 It was learned that the council took | & straw ballot, on which Glenn Thistle- thwaite, head foot ball coach, received | the five faculty votes for director, and that Dr. Walter Meanwell, basket ball coach, received two votes. The com- mittee also was told that Irwin Uteritz, the new director of intercollegiate ath- letics, represented a compromise be- tween the faculty and alumni members of the council. Prof. J. F. A. Pyre, chairman of the ccuncil, divulged the actions taken by the council in its secret sessions since the close of the foot ball season.

MERICAN UNIVERSITY and Georgetown leave today and tomorrow to spend their week ends in basket ball competition on foreign floors. j’l‘he former, beginning tonight, has three contests with schools in | | Virginia, while the latter goes to | Brooklyn and New York. | | In its opening game tonight American U. may hit the same kind of snag it ran up against in } foot ball last Fall and at the same | place, Randolph-Macon College, at Ashland. Rumors have come this way that Randolph-Macon has a basket ball team about as go8d as its eleven was, which is quite complimentary. | Randolph-Macon had a team that far exceeded its usual Fall output, a team that was good enough to whip Rich- mond University and tie Virginia, ac- complishments almost unheard of in previous seasons. If the basket ball team, as is rumored, is comparatively as strong, then American U. is in for a Iot of trouble. The other two games American Uni- versity is to play while on the trip are | with Virginia Medical College tomorrow | at Richmond and with Hampden-Sidney | Saturday. The local school feels that, | barring unusual strength in the Randolph-Macon five, it has an even chance in any one of the three contests. Georgetown is due to meet plenty of opposition in Crescent Athletic Club tomorrow night and New®#York Uni- | versity Saturday. The Crescent five usually is made up of former college stars, and a group of good players who have been together for a long while make about the strongest kind of a basket ball team, whether or not there is much good coaching. N. Y. U. also is able on the great majority of occa- sions to hold its own on the court. In other words, Georgetown’s quint is due to get a real test this week end. If it can split even on this trip, the Blue and Gray may feel more than satisfied with Tesults so far, and be really encouraged for the remainder of the schedule. EORGETOWN'S victory over Uni- versity of Baltimore last night, 31 to 23, in the Tech High gym, gives it the opportunity to go North without a defeat. Freddie Mesmer's five played far more consistently good basket ball than the Baltimoreans and further strengthened the feeling at Georgetown that Mesmer is the man who will pull basket ball out of the doldrums. If Mesmer can bring the Blue and Gray back from New York with a pair of victories he will just about own Georgetown, as far as basket ball is concerned. Mesmer is the quiet, un- assuming kind of chap who deserves all the success he attains. Pot shots from midcourt enabled Bal- timore to hold the Hoyas to a 13-11 count in the first half, but in the| second the Blue and Gray attack func- tioned more smoothly and the margin gradually was increased. The play of King, Bonniwell and O'Neil for George- town was of high order. The Hoya Freshmen defeated the Sophomcres, 27 to 12. Summaries: Baltimore 0. G P Pte y Georsetown.

P. I or any other school. As a matter of fact, it is not likely that Washington and Lee will be the only school in Virginia gunning for Maryland next Fall. For the last two years the Old Liners have made a clean sweep of the “big four” of that State, Washington and Lee, V. M. I, Virginia jand V. P. I, and there is every likeli- hood that the gantlet they will have to run with these four schools next year will be plenty rough. Gallaudet’s basketers, with two wins and one defeat, expect to add to their victories when they play Maryland State Normal at Kendall Green tomor- row night.
