SPORTS. ECONONY SYSTEN CETS BIG RESULTS Rhacans Have $35,000 Cash, Retain All Sports, May Increase Activity. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, January 26.— N Cornell University’s ath- letics, despite the publicly proclaimed policy of re- trenchment in everything except foot ball and basket ball for 1933, have been put upon a “cash-and- carry” basis calculated to give the undergraduates as much or more competition than usual, plus a bigger part in the selection of their own opponents. The rapidity and enthusiasm with which the students themselves have reacted to the economy program has assured the continuation of the Ithacans in Eastern intercollegiatecompetition, including track and field, base ball and rowing, at least to the extent of a regatta with Syracuse. EANWHILE the Cornell University Athletic Association, with $35,000 in the bank, occupies a position of solvency almost unique these days and proposes to keep out of the red. ‘This reserve is enough to finance the program through the end of the academic year, closing June 30. By cleaning the slate and making commit- ments on the “cash-and-carry” basis, it will not be necessary to borrow from the banks in anticipation of foot ball Tevenues next Fall. The Cornell athletic plant now is valued at a half million dollars, on ‘which there is an outstanding mortgage for only $105,000, with all interest paid up to date. 'ROM the competitive angle, here’s the way the new economy system is working out to the advantage of theathletes. The Cornell-Syracuse fresh- man basket ball game, scheduled in Syracuse, was canceled along with other intercollegiate competition for the year- lings. On short notice, Graduate Man- ager “Cy” Thurston of Syracuse called Graduate Manager “Rym” Berry of Cornell, offering to pay the expenses of the “frosh” team if it would make the trip. ‘The players agreed, made the trip to Syracuse in autos, were fed by their hosts, won the game and turned in an ‘expense account of $12. TWO years ago, when college athletics still were enjoy- ing relative prosperity, it cost $98 to send the “frosh” quintet to Syracuse to take a beating. JOE MOORE ACCEPTS TERMS GIANTS OFFER Manager Terry Now Has Enough Players Under Contract to Make Full Team. By the Assoclated Press EW YORK, January 26—While activity in the base ball contract market remains slow as the clubs and the holdout brigade remain firm on their bid and asked prices, the New York Giants continue to provide a bit of news for the fans each day. ‘The signing of Joe Moore, left fielder from Texas, was announced by the Giant management yesterday, and with it went the news that Bill Terry now | has enough players under contract to put a full team on the field. Another bit of news from the Giant offices and a welcome one to the boys who occupy the bleachers at the Polo Grounds, was that Travis Jackson has been formally reinstated by Commis- sloner Landis and is ready to make a bid for his old place at shortstop. Jackson, who suffered from bad knees, is exercising regularly at his Arkansas home to strengthen the Jjoints, PREAKNESS STAKE $25,000 Value of Turf Fixture Reduced 50 | Per Cent—sSlated May 13.

With the document was a letter in which Stewart expressed his appre- clation of the salary offered. “I'm confident I'll win you a lot of ball games, t00,” the pitcher wrote Presi- dent Clark Griffith. Stewart is Wintering at his home in Cross- ville, Tenn. The left hand pitcher is the four- teenth of the 37 Washington players to sign. HOLDS BASE BALL NEEDS SCHOOL AID Carr, Minor Promoter, Would Have Better Coaches in Institutions. By the Associated Press. OLUMBUS, Ohio, January 26.— Base ball, says Joe Carr, newly appointed promotional direc- tor for the National Associa- tion of Professional Base Ball Leagues, needs the college athletes. “Get the stars and the crowds will follow,” says the man who is trying to find a tonic for the national game. The prime need just now, he ex- plained, is to stop curtailment of base ball in high schools and colleges. This, more than anything else, is jeopardizing the game, he said. “Far too many athletes are being graduated from colleges and entering the coaching game who know nothing at all about base ball,” Carr said. “I know that several high schools | have abandoned the sport because new- ly appointed coaches were former foot | ball, track or basket ball stars and knew nothing and cared less about base ball. This alone will put off the day when base ball will make a scholastic come- back.” “Without a team to follow, where are the youngsters going to learn base | ball?” Carr asked, adding that rabid| fans don't get that way after they gTOW up. ‘The game, he said, is almost entirely | dependent on high school and college boys, not to mention the sandlotters, from which Babe Ruths and Lefty Groves often emerge. | CANOE CLUB .ENTERTAINS Amateur Boxing, Wrestling Bouts Will Be Held Tonight. ‘Washington Canoe Club tonight will stage its first post-holiday Athletic | night, for members and their guests.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, January 26.—Chi- cago will become the sports capital of the world this year, if the program out- lined by the Committee on Ath- letics of the Century of Progress Exposition is accepted in whole or even in part. Chicago will be the scene of the United States National Open and Wom- en’s Golf championships, as well as the Western Amateur and Women's, the Western Women's 72-Hole Medal Play Derby and a national driving and ap- proaching contest. In addition there is the possibility that the annual P. G. A. championship will be played here. FFORTS are being made to arrange a heavyweight bout between Max Baer and Max Schmeling for a local attraction in the Summer. The finals of the American Legion boxing tourna- ment also are scheduled to take place during the national convention of that organization. The annual golden gloves tournament will be held as usual, with an _international competition against Ireland scheduled for the Summer. Swimming is to be represented on the program by an international invita- tional meet for women, and also com- petition between the champion swim- mer of Japan and of the United States. ‘The interscholastic track and field meet will be run off under auspices of Chicago University, while the National Collegiate Athletic Association and A. A. U. track meets will bring most of the cuulmry's stars into action on Soldiers’ Fleld. N effort will be made to hold a na- tional collegiate rowing contest to replace the canceled Poughkeepsie | Regatta.

He led the fleld in the race for the title with a mark of four victories against one setback.

HARVARD LUXURIES BOW 70 ECONOMY Athletes Will Travel Like Or- dinary Folk—$210,000 Saving Effected. * By the Associated Press. (AMBRIDGE, Mass., January 26.— Most of the comforts and lux- uries that made Harvard ath- letes one of the most pam- pered groups in intercollegiate sport were wiped out by Athletic Director William J. Bingham while he was overcoming a $316,000 foot ball shrink- lancing his 1932-33 sports s0 Bingham had to chop $210,000 off the cost of running the Harvard sports program, which has been reduced from $886,000 to $676,000. Here are some of his economy meas- ures: Such frills as private cars and diners, Pullmans, taxi service, porters and po- lice escorts have been eliminated from Harvard traveling and from now on all Crimson sports teams, even the varsity foot ball squad, Will ride in day coaches. 'O save $11,000 on equipment Bing- ham has ruled out new shells and oars for the varsity crew, new tackling or blocking dummies for the foot ball teams, new vaulting poles, javelins and weights for the track team and new uniforms for the base ball and hockey teams, ‘The foot ball equipment budget has been shaved so low the varsity squad will be theoretically restricted to three- quarters of a new jersey per player. Most minor teams will be forced to supply their own uniforms and equip- ment. In round sums, Bingham chopped $25,000 off the H. A. A. pay roll by a general salary cut, lopped $21,000 off travel costs and saved $62,000 in guar- antees.
