PAID CRIDIRONERS MAKE HEAVY GAIN More Open Style in Foot Ball Another Feature. Diamond Has Boom. (Note: This is the fifth and last of a series of stories analyzing results in the annual Associated Press poll on sports events and developments.) BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, December 22.—In the midst of a sweeping come- back on nearly all athletic fronts this year, from the| viewpoint of gate receipts as well as the grade of competition, the two\ trends considered most striking by the | country's sports editors are (1) the | rapid growth of interest in profes- | sional sports, notably foot ball, and (2) the development of a more open | style of play on college gridirons, fea- | turing the use of the lateral pass. Other outstanding trends noted in the annual Associated Press sports poll include the drift of amateur stars to professional ranks, especially in tennis; the marked revival of base ball's popularity, spurred by the shift of major league power from East to| West; and & boom in amateur boxing, as contrasted with the continued de- cline of interest in professional pugilism. r A “1934 came closer to duplicating the sports activity and interest | of boom times than any year since 1929. Except for professional boxing, every sport attracted bigger crowds and furnished more exciting competi- tion than we have had in some time. At the same time the public continued to show more discrimination and ap- parently will patronize only the at- tractions offering the most for their money.” ‘The growth of professional foot ball to a point where it is rivalling the college sport for interest and crowds, prompted another sports editor to predict that within five years “there will be professional teams in nearly every city of 250,000 or more, and that these same pro teams, whether through rentals or actual acquisition of equity will be making many stadium bondholders rest easier.” ‘The same observer pointed out that the “phenomenal rise of the National League” in pro foot ball. followed by the organization of the American League, paves the way eventually for a world series comparable to base ball's ; annual classic, ~ Pros Rival Collegians. S ONE sports editor summed it up, Go Back to Fundamentals. N THIS connection a number cited | pro foot ball's advantage over col- lege foot ball in going back to tome of the game's fundamental reg- ulations, including restoration of the goal posts to the goal line, as well as rules permitting even more open play than the college code provides.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, December 22.—A clash | N between the leaders of the Na- tional Hockey League’s two divi- last Spring for the league title—lends added interest to a week end program in the major ice circuit. The Chicago Blackhawks, Stanley Cup holders, and the Toronto Maple Leafs meet at Toronto tonight in their second clash of the season. That is the high spot of the six-game program, but the Montreal Canadiens | and St. Louis Eagles meet to deter- mine the cellar berth in the interna- tional section, the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins fight it out for second in the American group, and the New York Rangers face the Mon- treal Maroons in an intersectional clash tonight. Sunday the Blackhawks and Can- adiens, both doubling up, meet at Chicago to settle the issue left un- decided when they played a 1-1 tie| Tuesday, and Detroit moves from Boston to New York to face the Star Spangled Americans. These teams also drew Tuesday. Toronto, victorious in 12 out of 15 games, has 25 points to its credit and a 10-point lead over the Maroons, second in their section. The Black- | hawks, with 19 points, lead Boston by only three in the American division. The Canadiens and St. Louis are separated by only one point at the bottom of the standing. They also| have a tie to decide. Boston already has beaten Detroit twice this season and is a slight favorite to repeat. The Ranger-Maroon clash has its interesting angles, although the Mon- trealers seem as much better as their 5-2 decision in a previous encounter indicates.

OSSIBLY with sighs of relief, University of Indiana‘s basket ball tossers slipped out of town today, bound for more inva- sions of Eastern courts on which, thus far, they have fared so well. Coming from behind in each in- stance, Indiana conquered two of Washington's most formidable quints, adding the scalps of George Wash- ington’s Colonials last night to those of Maryland's Terps. A crowd esti- mated at 2,000 saw the Hoosiers rally to down George Washington by a 45-to-41 count in the Roosevelt High gymnasium.

O ROGERS HORNSBY'S asser- tion that Cleveland ought to win the American League pen- nant next season, Walter Johnson responds with an optimistic “maybe.” While the cows mooed, the chickens clucked and his bird dogs yelped, the Indians’ manager leaned against a fence on his 8-acre farm at Alta Vista, Md, and admitted he looked for a good club, perhaps a pennant ‘winner. “Hornsby was right about our hav- ing a good club,” he said. “We have some swell youngsters, and unless in- juries or other troubles visit us, I Teckon we have as good chance as any other team.” Has Praise for Berger., 'OHNSON, happy as he piddled around his small farm, clad in rough clothes, feels the Indians’ :Johnson Sees Berger as Key to Flag Hopes In Admitting Indians Probable Title Club; Barney Fit, Quiets Yarns About Losing Job - second baseman—Louis Berger, from Néw Orleans of the Southern Association. “Berger had a good year in the South, and his hitting improved. I believe he can start and go all year at second,” Johnson said. “He always has been a good fielder, but he couldn't hit a curve ball. He has made rapid advancement and even if he hits only .260 in his first year I'll be satisfied. We have enough outside power.” Berger attended the University of Maryland, where he was an all-round star, playing guard in basket ball and halfback in foot ball, in addition to his base ball activities. Johnson, famed as base ball's “Big Train” when he was a Washington pitching star, figures Pytlak his regu- lar backstop, will have a good year, but as a precaution he has taken on several young catchers. “I also look for Campbell to help us in the outfield and Vosmik and Trosky should hit well.

Tulane will have to concentrate on Smukler, who is something to stop. The big Temple fullback carries his 212 pounds as if he were a sprinter, and he belongs to the type that likes the going when the going gets rough. Pop’s first coaching job was back in the late Summer of 1896, so this makes his thirty- ninth year, and the Tulane game will open his fortieth season. Pop still is & few years back of Stagg, but, for all that, 40 years in this foot ball turmoil is no short | spell. The Warner system will be under fire in both the Rose and the Sugar Bowl games.

And, as a fighter, there is no challenger in sight to stir up any interest. Most of his challengers are Jjust about on the same level. It takes two men to make a fight—and it takes something else to make a motion pic- ture star.

UONES SEES IDEA WORTH PONDERING Would Reduce Line Bucking, Open Up Passing, Avers Trojan Mentor. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. O8 ANGELES, Calif., December 22.—Bob Zuppke, the sage of Illinois, sitting on one side of the luncheon table, said to Howard Jones, the head man of Southern California foot ball: “Howard, they are all talking about changing the rules to help the of- fense in foot ball. So how about this. The rules demand that seven men be on the line of scrimmage on the of- fense, so why not change them to require seven men on the line for the defensive team?” “I think it's a good idea, Zup.” re- plied Jones. “It certainly would take the premium off line bucking and open up the forward passing; which seems to be the main idea of the proponents of a more liberalized offense. The more I think of the idea the better I like it.” “Now there is something for you,” remarked Herr Zuppke to your cor- respondent. “Try it out on your type- writer and see what sort of a response you get.” Jones still thinks that five downs in which to make 10 yards would be & fine thing in foot ball, but in that he is getting little support from his fellow coaches. Both Zuppke and Bill Spaulding are opposed tp the idea, but Howard is carrying on the crusade alone. Zup Is Popular Speaker. UPPKE'S speeches have knocked Southern California foot ball fans cold. The Illini leader's unending wit and caustic comments have won him so many invitations to address this or that group that he is | going into retirement on a nearby | golf course. Zuppke was asked about | professional foot ball the other day, and his answer was, “When the pro- fessionals give nine rahs it's for a dugout and not a campus,” which | silenced the adherent of the profes- | sional side of foot ball | Zuppke believes that either Minne- sota or Ohio State could have beaten the best professional team at the fin- | ish of the 1934 season. Not having | seen Stanford or Alabama, he does not include them, but may after the Rose Bowl game. “The professionals look good by comparison,” explained Zuppke. “Still it is my belief that the better college teams are superior to the professionals in condition, speed and enthusiasm. I may be wrong, but I'll stick to the - idea that college foot ball is better than the professional brand, and the more I see of the pros the more I am convinced I am right.” Since your correspondent contrib- uted one round, shiny dollar to the Zuppke coffers, the result of a very ill-advised golf wager, there was little or no use entering into further argu- | ment with the gentleman.

CORNELL, former promoter and matchmaker of the Twin-City Arena near Laurel, Md., today took the burden of fistic activities at the Washington Auditorium on his | shoulders. Cornell entered into the scheme of things at the E street plant when Promoter Joe Turner and Match- maker Frankie Mann came to the parting of the ways yesterday after failing to hit a winning stride, finan- cially, since they first teamed up last May. Expressing profound regret at Mann’s withdrawal, Turner not only definitely disclosed that Cornell would be the guiding light behind audi- torium promotions, but would hold his first show next Thursday, Decem- ber 27, with a card of the club-fight- ing variety. Cornell, it is under- stood, will assume the financial re- sponsibilities as well as those of Business, however, will be cleared in Turner’s office at the Annapolis Hotel. That Mann suggested a split almost two months ago also was disclosed by Turner. “We were losing money on boxing,” said Turner, “but I requested Frankie to continue until the first of the year. Mann consented to do so as a per- sonal favor to me, wish to emphasize particularly the + . that Prankie Mann has assisted me without payment, and has shown fine spirit. If he decides to enter box- lngnln s promoter or matchmaker, he will have the best wishes of my- self and my friends.” Matchmaking and promoting boxing is nothing new to Cornell. one of the city’s leading sportsmen. For two sea- sons he operated the Twin City Are but when boxing was legalized in the District last Summer Cornell aban- doned the Maryland site. Out of the welter of rumors to rise yesterday as news of the Turner-Mann split became known in fistic circles was one to the effect that Promoter Goldie Ahearn had thrown up the sponge at the Riding and Hunt, which needs repairs to meet District fire reg- ulations. This rumor was hotly denied today by Ahearn, who declared-that the Hunt Club would be remodeled to comply with demands, and that box- ing would be resumed at the P street arena shortly after the holidays. gl|llmn|ulnmnnmmmmmnmnmnmmlmmmn TRY THE Miracle Ride New 1935 STUDEBAKER Champions ALBER & McNEIL Incorporated 1418 P ST.
