B—4 Didrikson Publicity Hunter, Says Brundage : East- 6,000 Calories, Only 2 Meals A Day, Put Ruth Near Peak as He Goes on Training Schedule FLOUTS IGNORANCE . OF AMATEUR CODE A. A. U. Chief Hints Greeks Were Right in Barring Women From Games. BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, December 24— Maybe the Greeks were right after all, Avery Brundage, national presi- dent of the Amateur Athletic Union, sighed today as he read the latest episode of the Mildred | “Babe” Didrikson case. | “You know, the ancient Greeks kept women out of their athletic games,” he recalled. “They wouldn’t even let them on the sidelines. I'm not so sure but they were right.” With that he sailed in to defend the A. A U. and its rules of amateurism | which have been bombarded heavily since Miss Didrikson was suspended on a charge of professionalism, and then reinstated. “I'm tired of all these charges that the A. A. U. rules were too ambiguous,” President Brundage said. “The entire situation is covered in rule five in two and a half pages, which set up the whole amateur definition and rules of disbarment. Miss Didrikson knew all about it a year ago. At least the club | to which she belongs down in Dallas, Tex., wrote us when the subject of ad- vertisement of a certain milk concern came up. “ORIGINALLY‘ the rule called for | disbarment when any amateur | athlete indorsed bats, skates or similar articles. Later some of cur star | swimmers started indorsing a certain | brand of cigarettes and the rule was | amodified to provide that no product of any kind could be indorsed. “The whole story of the Didrikson case has not been told. I regret to say that she is a girl who delights to see her name in the papers, and she is at- tempting to_capitalize on her present Publicity. She has been badly advised.” Miss Didrikson, the one woman track team of Olympic fame, who was sup- posed to have arrived in Chicago from St. Louis vesterday, was among the missing today. She failed to arrive in Chicago—at least the reporters and | photographers failed to find her—and she was reported today to be “on her | way West” to make a series of motion pictures. S ported indorsement of an auto- mobile for advertising purposes she has become camera shy, and when she did consent to be photographed, she made careful survey that the surround- ing background contained no advertise- ‘ments which might appear in the pic- ture. While in St. Louis Miss Didrikson said she read the rule book of the A. A. U. for the first time after her disbarment and was amazed “to dis-| cover there was some 350 pagés of dos end don’ts.” “That's foolish,” President Brundage said. “I was a member of America’s Olympic team 20 years ago and mever had any trcuble with those rules. She knew what she was doing all the time. | All she wants is publicity, and if she 1s going into the moving picture busi- Jess, I think she is going to get it.” CAVALIERS ON JUMP FOLLOWING HOLIDAYS Basket Ball, Boxing and Swim- ming Will Occupy Athletes.

EW YORK, December 24.—The gastronomical feat of Babe Ruth in devouring more than a dozen “hot dogs” at one session is & thing of the past. The Babe established himself on a two-meal-a-day schedule as he started in his Winter training routine yesterday at Artle McGovern's gymnasium. The Yankee star reported to Me- Govern at the lowest weight he has ever carried at this time of the year, 229 pounds, in recent years, and his nervous system was equally good— entirely relaxed and at ease. Proper diet and home cooking are the con- tributing causes, as Ruth adheres rigidly to a regime that McGovern and Mrs. Ruth have planned for him. No longer does the Babe eat when- ever the spirit moves him. He has breakfast and dinner, but never luncheon or supper. Although he starts the day by partaking of the juice of six oranges, the Bebe conflnes himself to 6,000 calories a day. E sleeps at least nine hours and even steals an hour's nap on occa- sions ‘when he is on the rubbing | table. If the masseurs note that the Babe feels inclined to stay on the table, they cover him over with a huge towel and let him rest. Ruth loses five or six pounds during each workout. Most of this is due to perspiring. Ruth promptly drinks the major part of it back, since he con- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1932. UTH reported yesterday a bit earlier: than heretofore. Usually he waits until after the holiday season. Hence his weight of 225! pounds = year ago is not quite as good, com- paratively, as was his 229 pounds now. The Babe intends to work out at Mc- Govern's for two months, since he will leave for the Yankees' Southern camp later than the rest of the team. One type of exercise that Ruth likes but which is denied him is walking. When he plays golf the Babe is known to have played 54 holes in a day. He rarely shoots less than 36. But walk- ing through the streets of New York is an absolute impossibility for so famous a character. He is fairly over- whelmed by eager admirers. ‘The Ruthian diet is not absolutely set day by day. Calories are counted faithfully and Ruth can go over his allotment for breakfast, but he must curtail his calory consumption at din- ner. ‘This also works in reverse. Sometimes the Babe cuts down on breakfast and steps up his dinner menu, A typical day’s menu follows: BREAKFAST. Juice of Six Oranges. Cereal (hot or cold). Bacon and Eggs. Toast, Coffee.

Athletic pietors (Written for the Associated Press.) duced faster basket ball. observed several games in which the so-cailei “10-second” and “3-sec- ond” edicts were enforced, I predict that many coaches will be forced to revamp their offensive play of former Having ears. By requiring the offensive team to ad- vance across the center coutt line in 10 seconds, critics of the new rule con- tend that the congestion is too great for systematic play, that only one-half of the court is actually used at a time, and that the interpretations make the administration of the game too difficult. Answering these criticisms, it is well to remember that the 10-second rule had the unanimous indorsement of the National Association of Basket Ball Coaches in Chicago last Spring. The Joint National Basket Ball Rules Com- mittee, in passing this legislation in New York last April, gave careful con- sideration to the coaches’ opinicns. 'HERE still is plenty of room for set plays to be properly executed in the offensive half, but the timing and synchronization must of necessity be a little finer, due to-the smaller area in Which to onerate. However, the ball handling will be much more clever. 1t is true that only one-half of the New Basket Ball Rules Have Made Play Faster, Allen Says on, but most coaches I have talked to are employing the fast break upon re- covering the ball from the defensive basket, Dr. Walter Meanwell of Wisconsin long has advocated the one-bounce dribble rule in the back court as an encouragement to the defensive player to go out after the ball. I would not be surprised to see this suggestion incorporated in the rules next year. The 10-second rule still would " be- operative. There is no reason why the admin- istration of the game by officials should much more difficult this year than last. We have had for vears the 5- second rule on out-of-bounds and the 10-second rule allowed a free thrower after a foul. All are just a matter of counting. HIEF among the dissenters over the rule changes are Dr. James Nai- smith, originator of the game, University’ of Kansas; and Coaches George Keogan, Notre Dame; Ward (Piggy) Lambert, Purdue. and George Edwards, University of Missouri. Among the champions of the new rules are Coaches Craig Ruby, Illinois; Harold Olsen, Ohio State; Roy Mun- dorf, Georgia Tech; John Bunn, Stan- ford; Arthur Lonborg, Northwestern; Dr. Walter Meanwell, Wisconsin; How- ard Ortner, Cornell; Syracuse; A. A. Schabinger, Creighton; Gus Tebell, Virginia: Adolph Rupp, Kentucky, and Frankiin C. Cappon of Michigan.

SPORT l —By TOM DOERER | “Leather Hip” Now THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RIC] - ITTSBURGH'S main hope in the Far Western stand on Monday, January 2, should come Xroml I the same stout goal line defense | in time of trouble, and then a shot for | the break of the game—if it ever| develops. This has been the system Pitt used in several of its hardest tests. It is the way Pitt won from Notre Dame. And when Pitt could not score, neither could Ohio State and Nebraska. Southern California is the favored team. But it is not quite the sure thing 50 many think it is. There are few sure things in foot bal!l. The past seascn has been full of sudden overturns, so | far as the advance guessing was con- | cerned. After all, Pittsburgh has a good line, two fine ends and a high-class back- fleld, headed by Heller, one of the season’s best. But any team that faces U. 8. C. stands under the dark shadow of that big, powerful, hard charging line, flanked by two fine ends, and two of the game's greatest tackles in Brown end Smith. It is this dynamic defense that gives the Western array its margin. If the Pitt defense can hold up, the chance| must come in a sudden thrust—a win- ning pass—a recovered fumble—one of Bob Hogan’s mighty kicks—the type of | break that can turn a game upside down in one or two moves. Jock Sutherland and his squad are desperately anxious to remove the stain of that last Panther visit to the Coast, when an unbeaten Pitt team was not only beaten, but overwhelmed. That may also make a difference. (OSE who saw the famous Carnegie Tech-N. Y. U. game at Pittsburgh some years ago still recall the exhibition of passing and quarterback play given by young How- ard Harpster in that battle which brought about the physical wreckage of Al Lassman. At one stage of this contest Harpste x gave one of the greatest exhibitions of forward passing ever seen on any grid- iron. Starting from his own 15-yard line, with Carnegie Tech well behind, Harpster completed something like 10 successive passes for a touchdown with- out losing the ball, His quickness of foot and his un- canny accuracy in pegging to any re- cefver in sight stood out as one of the big features of that game. His same high-grade play helped to carry Notre Dame to a crushi ing defeat that season. ‘Harpster 15 one of the highest types in foot ball. He hed the full confidence of Judge Walter Steffen and the Car- negie team in every contest, where his judgment always was good and where his personality was a striking factor. Young Howard has had more than his share of success at Geneva and should reach a high place among the coaching elect at Carnegie if the Tartan Tribe has its normal material. N speaking of Carnegie Tech, it might be well to mention a back who many rate as one of the lead- ing stars of the entire year. His name is Kaval. As Bert Bell of Temple describes him, “Kaval leaves the dressing room before a game run- ning, and he is still running when the game is over. He is one of the great- est backs I've seen in many years, an outstanding star.” More than one other opposing coach paid Kaval the same tribute. AT is the playing life of a foot Dball entry?

West Game Approaches Ideal NEAREST T0 CLASH OF ALL-AMERICAS Most of Players on Hand for Jjanuary 2 Contest at San Francisco. BY BEN G. KLINE. AN FRANCISCO, December 24. —All-America foot ball teams are mythical ag- gregations of outstanding players who never get together and practice to defend their in- dividual and group honors against the challenge of an opponent. It would be interesting if some time for some worthy cause some individ- ual or group’s selections for all- America honors were brought together and pitted, say, against a team made up of stars selected from outstanding players who had not made the mythical first team. Since that has never been done, and probably won't be, the nearest thing to a game between synthetic college all- America teams is the annual East-West game played at Kezar Stadium here for the benefit of the Shriners’ Hospital for Crippled Children. The two squads of 22 men each include players who have been named on all-America elevens and are composed otherwise of men who have been outstanding in their respective districts. OST of the players who will com- pete in the eighth of this charity scries have arrived, the Eastern squad escorted oaches Dick Hanley and Ancy Kerr. Dana X. Bible, co- coach of the West team. came with the Eastern squad, bringing with him seven Midwestern stars, who will join 15 Coast players _assembled by the other West coach, Babe Hollingberry. After a visit by plavers to the hospital for the benefit of which they will play (a visit that is a big event in the lives of the hospitalized children) the East- ern squad will go to Stanford and the Western players to Berkeley to train for the annual classic, which this year will be held on January 2. ©On the same day Southern California will play Pittsburgh in the annual Pasa- dena Rose Bowl game, so stars from those two teams could not ke selected for the all-star game here, but aside from_those two teams the coaches for the Shrine game have had the picx of the Nation'’s foot ball gr-at. Every player is a senior and each has heen | famous at least in his ovn district dur- | ing the season just closed. (OUGH the rivalry is between the East and the West, and the games are keenly contested, probably not so much emphasis is placed by the fans on winning as in regular games during the season. Spectators attend because the game exemplifies the spirit of the Christmas season and because it offers them a chance to see outstanding play= ers from all sections of the country. This year they will go to sce. on the Eastern team. such all-Americas as Harry Newman, Michigan quarterback: Roy Horstman, Purdue fullback: Joe Kurth, Notre Dame tackle: Bob Smith, guard of Colgate, and Paul Moss, Purcue eny They will go, too. to see how the out- standing plavers of the Coast—Kreause, Gonzaga fullback: Sander, Washington State passer and kicker : Capt. Bill Morgan, Oregon tackle; Schaldach of California, Angel Broveli of St. Mary's and other stars with whose play they are familiar—stack up against big name players of the East. And after it's over a lot of fans will be revising the all- America selections they have read since the close of the regular foot ball season.

Left forward (2) cuts near the sideline and ta from left guard (5), who ward the left corner as if the play in_from were to develop in that direction and then wheels and goes out again. On the first movement, center (1) cuts into the free throw line from the right corner. No. 2 passes to him and follows up, cutting around 1's lett side. As he passes 1, 3, hav- ing timed his start well, cuts across _ court just behind him and to Tight. No. 1 fakes to 2, but - instead gives the ball to 3, who dribbles in and shoots.
