SPORTS. STATUS IS HEALTHY. SPORTS BOSS SAYS \sserts Financial Stringency Will Curtail Only Minor Activities. BY MAJ. JOHN L. GRIFFITH. (President, National Collegiate A. A) # NHICAGO, January 4—If any i group of men have been discredited in the past few years it is those who as- | sumed the role of prophets and cny prophecy made now regard- ng college athletics in 1933 or regarding anything else, in fact, >robably will appear ridiculous a rear from now. There are cer- ain signs, however, which may | e followed as indicating what we | nay expect this year. While the attendance at college and | ‘niversity foot ball games showed & narked decrease last year over the at- | >ndance in 1931, yet there are two | hings that stand out as important in | he study of the college foot ball situa- ion. First, almost none of the thou- ~and institutions above high school rank ound it necessary to abandon intercol- ogiate foot ball and, second, the re- ceipts at the foot ball games were still -ufficiently large to finance the foot sall departments. In other words, foot ball still is a naying and self-supporting sport. The ceceipts from foot ball, however, have 2ot been large enough to warrant the continued support of the non-produc- tive sports. This means that freshmen and B teams generally have been dis- continued and the minor sports pro- | grams serlously curtailed. ! foot ball rules changes made last year with the idea of lessen- ing the hazards to the players have for the most part proved satisfac- tory. The coaches generally are satis- fied with the present game and are hoping that the Rules Committee will not make any further radical changes. Some have suggested that the forward passer be given more protection and a few of the Midwestern coaches are in favor of a rule permitting a forward pass from any place behind the line of scrimmage. The colleges generally have sched- uled games for next Fall with their traditional rivals, and there is no indi- cation that fewer games will be played than heretofore. Some of the intersec- tional games past Fall were poorly attended, and the indications are that the tendency next season will be not to go too far afield for games. In the Big Ten Conference the coaches and athletic directors already have com- pleted their schedule for 1934, Four of the conference universities have scheduled six conference games each and the other six have scheduled five Penalties for violation of the 10-second been conspicuous for their has become a ASKET BALL throughout the schools and colleges this year should and undoubtedly will retain its popularity. There are more boys playing basket ball in the educational institutions than there are participants in any other single sport. If golf has the most followers in the nature of actual competitors, hasket ball un- doubtedly will rank either second or| third. | The schools and colleges have found it rather difficult to maintain base ball as an interinstitutional sport due to the fact that bace ball s not a productive activity; consequently a large number of institutions have discontinued base ball for the time being. When the geme is played, however, there appar- ently is more interest than has been | noticeable for a number of years. With | the decline in the number of profes- sional base ball leagues there has been & commensurate growth throughout the cougtry in amateur leagues. ‘Whis re- vival of interest in amateur base ball will ultimately be reflected in renewed interest in schocl and college base ball. | Last year saw more good college track | and field men than ever before in the | history of the sport in this country. All | of the points won by the American track and field team in the Los Angeles Olympics were won by ccllege men, with the exception of three points that were | won by z high school athlete.

Griffith Has Faith in College Athletics : Trojans Lose Three Regulars Planned ‘Big Five’ To Offer Example BY LAWRENCE PERRY. YORK, January 4—While it now appears the projected “Big Five” of the East will not concern itself with trying to impose standards of eligibility and athletic ethics upon other institutions of their section, there is no doubt that it will stand as an example in these matters. ANd at the same time it is likely to be found that rivals outside the group which play elevens of the as< sociation will be composed of teams representing institutions which ap- proximate quite closely the ideals of the “Big FPive”"—Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth and Cornell. So in this way a line will tacitly be drawn between colleges which hold sane views as to athletics, in re- lation to the essential aims of the institution of higher learning, and those that do not. The influence of this organization not only upon this section of the country but nationally, because of the universities’ national character, because of student bodies drawn from every section of the nation, will be incalculable and it would be a calamity if, having gone thus far, anything occurred to cause a hitch. CROWLEY BECOMES FORDHAM U, COMCH Signs for Three Years After Shifting From Michigan State—Gets More Pay. | | By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 4—James H. Crowley—“Sleepy Jim” of Notre Dame fame—has been appointed head foot ball coach at Fordham University. Announcement that Crowley, head | coach at Michigan State for the past | four years, had signed a three-year contract was made last night by Jack Coftey, graduate manager of ath- letics at Fordham. He succeeds Maj. Frank Cavanaugh, who resigned two weeks ago. Coffey declined to reveal salary terms, but it was understood Crowley would receive about $11,000 a year, some $3,000 more than he was paid by Michigan State. STAR in the famous “Four Horse- men” backfleld of the Notre Dame team of 1924, Crowley's ‘contract at Michigan State had still another year to run, but he obtaire=d his release, effective February 28. He will have & free hand in naming his assistants. His chief aide, it was revealed, will be Glen Carberry, cap- tain of the Notre Dame team of 1922 and Crowley’s assistant at Michigan State. Others will be selected later, but whether or not Hiker Joy, Cava- naugh’s first lieutenant, would be re- tained was not known. Crowley will find a ready-made team awaiting him when he takes charge. Of the powerful but inexperienced eleven which lost only two games last season, cnly one regular, Joe Zapustas, will be graduated. The Rams will tackle a formidable schedule with major gam West Virginia, , land, New York University and 'ROWLEY “made” the Notre Dame team of 1922 and was a regular in 1923, but gained his principal foot ball playing fame as a member of that great backfield combination of 1924. Rounding out that quartet were Harry Stuhldreher, Elmer Layden and | Don Miller. After his graduation, Crowley was| signed as an assistant coach at the| University of Georgia and then was called to Michigan State as head coach in 1829. In his four-year tenure there, t?e s‘ptmns won 22 games, lost 8 and tied 3. Oregon State. ! Fi BASKET BALL NOTES EASTERN IS AFTER SCALP OF CENTRAL Puts on Steam for Tilt With Series Basket Choice in Friday’s Twin Bill. ASTERN'S basketers, who are girding for their important game with Central Friday after- noon on the Tech court, are particularly keen to win this battle, which will follow the series opener be- tween Roosevelt and Western, starting at 3:30 o'clock. In the first place, Central generally is favored to capture the pennant and naturally the Lincoln Parkers would like nothing better than handing the Columbia Heights bunch a trimming under these circumstances. . In the second place, Eastern and Central stand even in the public high | series, first played in 1917. Each has won the title outright five times and twice they've shared it. A victory for the Lincoln Parkers Friday would give them a running start in the new race. GAIN Mike Kelley, former Central foot ball and base ball coach, is | tutoring the Eastern basketers for the first time and Mike, of course, would relish hanging the crepe on the Central quint. Eastern is overlooking nothing in the way of preparation for the battle. After mixing with the formidable Emerson quint this afternoon at Eastern, the Lincoln Parkers will go over to the Boys’ Club tonight for an encounter at 8:15 o'clock with the fast-traveling team representing that institution. Eastern defeated the club team earlier in the season, but the latter has won seven straight and figures to give Kel- ley's proteges a battle royal. The game will be the last for Eastern before the series. Central is not listed to play either today or tomorrow, but the Blue and ‘White will get plenty of bristling prac- tice on the Central court. OTH Roosevelt and Western play their final pre-series games today, the former against Wilson Teach- ers at Roosevelt and the latter with Friends at Western. Neither the Bears nor the George- towners appear impressive this season, but Roosevelt is thought to be some- what the better. Tech, given a good chance with Cen- tral and Eastern for the title, and which will open its series play Tuesday against Western, meets t ‘Washing- ton-Lee High quint of Ballston this afi- ernoon at Tech. In another court game today, Gon- zaga and Kendall School tossers battle on the former’s floor.

Some of these 2re yet to be paid for. On the whole, however, they were financed from game receipts in the years when spectators attended college events in large numbers. These plants will be operated in 1933 as they ‘were in 1927 and 1928. There are just as many athletes in eollege today as therc were before the break -in the market L\ 1929. Many of these boys are findin;: it a difficult matter to support themselves while in college, to carry the full scholastic program and to practice with varsity teams. The number of candidates, however, for the teams has not mate- decreased. On the other hand the quality of the athletes and their performances has improved. College athletics are here to stay and they will be maintained if necessary students themselves, whether business is at a high peak or at a low ebb. V. M. 1. FACES ST.

Which is likely to happen tonight on the G. W. gym floor, a slow footing for | fast babies, when the Colonials play North Carolina State, another team | coached in the fast-breaking style. Give Pixlee’s five young men a | fast floor, and before ydu can bal- | ance your budget it is running up | and down the ceilings, hopping in | and out of the gals’ laps, shooting | baskets from over in the next county, and giving the trade more slips and skids than contained in a whole sea- Basket Ball Tips LEVER Craig Ruby, Illinois coach, favors a dashing style of play, taking little advantage of strategies which slow up the game and which have been respon- sible for the latest new rules. ‘The tip-off play diagrammed above is a typical Ruby design, which puts four men into position to re- ceive the tip and affords double that number of tip-spots. It achieves another important purpose, too, by preventing the bunching of a lot of men near the center circle. At the toss-up both guards, 4 and 1, and left forward (3) advance along the side as though to take the tip, drawing their defensive men with them. However, right forward (5) takes the ball from center (2) in the center lane. At this juncture left guard (4) ceases to advance and remains in position as deep defensive guard. No. 1, however, keeps right on toward the basket. No. 5 passes to 3, and the latter hooks & pass to 1, for a short shot for goal. As an alternative, there is an op- portunity for a pass to center (2). After the tip-off, the lAtter breaks toward the basket on the side oppo- sits from 1. Receiving the ball from 3, he may dribble in and shoot. TAXI DRIVERS Becondit! for Bale M . son of Sliding Billy Watson’s bur- lesque shows. But other things happen, too. Oc- casionally the boys head for the basket and forget to stop. That brings them up to the wall which, refusing to give way to a bunch of collegiates, tosses them back to the middle of the floor, with a duly signed certificate of ad- mittance to any District hospital. That was the ‘main reason for the George Washington basket team snub- bing the Tech floor. The boys were meeting in crowds at the end of the baskets. And, at times, | meeting the crowds, too. | “We nave got to ave a stow floor for our fast team,” says Piz between cough medicine gurgles. Mr. Piz has a touch of flu. That's slowed up Piz. “We are forced to use a special dressing on our floor to make it slower, othewise our system of play would cause injuries to the players. On a fast floor we must play the other fellow’s game. Which is mot ours, as recent scores have shown. By our system we do mot care how many points the other team piles up, because we can make more.” And the young man who sees that the Colonials use their roller skates, no skid chains, and forget their emer- gency brakes, is Ted O’Leary, all Big Six forward last year from Kansas University. Ted sees that the boys are ofled and greaced, and carry out the Western style of play, which is as breezy as the breezes around the Windy City. “He's just the fellow the doctor ordered,” says Pixlee. “I had two friends from out on the prairie lands look him over carefully. He knows my system. And he is & good, con- scientious tufor” | Tn Coach Sermon, Pix's boys meet a mentor who comes from the West, and teaches its style. He is former Missouri tutor. His North Carolina State seniors are just as fast as the Colonials and, if it wasn't for the fact | that the bovs are playing in the G. W. gym, I would be afraid that the custo- | mers would have to spend the evening tossing their chewing gum wads on tne floor to have an occasional view of the boys as thev flittered past, on and. maybe. out through the wall and down Into the alley. . Anyhow, here is a coach who is putting stickum on the boards to stop his team from getting too fast while everybody else is chasing around sprinkiing one another with tobasco sauce trying to keep some of us awake, Tonight's score will tell whether Mr. ‘Thave | greased it with ginger, and had the * skates honed. i o ABOLISHES FOOT BALL WILMINGTON, Ohio, January 4 (#). —The board of trustees of Wii College has voted to abolish foot ball from the 1933 program.
