California Foot Ball Hotbed : Coaches Bombard Gridiron Rules TROAN-TRISH G0 | NOW TRADITIONAL Warner Goes Back to Old Haunts—Baugh Will Test Santa Clara Eleven. BY GRANTLAND RICE. OS ANGELES, December 5.— Any one who thinks the foot ball season is all over and washed up should move along o California. Apparently, in this land of sun and orange blossoms the cam- paign is only warming up. Notre Dame meets Southern Califor- nia in an old-time rivalry today, and, farther north, Pop Warner sends his Temple team against St. Mary's, in 8an Prancisco. A week later on, T. C. U. will see what slinging Sam Baugh ean do against an unbeaten, untied Santa Clara outfit. And this leads on to the Rose Bowl, Row less than a month away. “Irish” Great in 1930. E meeting of Notre Dame and i+ Southern California recalls many memories. It goes back to the first meetings of Knute Rockne and Howard Jones, two of the country's greatest. There was the time when Rock led his last team into action against Sbuthern Oalifornia. I was with Rock that Sat- urday night in Chicago, after a tough Army game, played in sleet, snow, rain and mud, in which Marchy Schwartz ran to the winning touchdown, the margin being 7 to 6. To my mind, that was Rockne’s greatest team—that 1930 outfit. Be- fore moving to California, he had lost Jumping Joe Savoldi and Moon Mullins from his backfleld. And Bavoldi was close to being the greatest fullback I ever saw. Rockne was on his way to meet a great Southern Oalifornia team, including such stars as Pinckert and Ernie Smith.| Minus Savoldi and Mullins, this Notre | Dame team, using Bucky O'Connor | as the undiscovered spearhead, beat | U. 8. C, 27 to 0. * his greatest year with his greatest team, which is alwavs something when you move along with Old Man Charon up the unknown river. Rockne nmshadj | some of the alleys, all of which are | staging sections of the big event. | For instance, when the Navy Yard League rolled a double-header last night at the Lucky Strike, Supt. Bill | Wood allowed the Gunmakers to turn | lin their first five games as tourna- | ment qualifying sets, with each con- | tributing 25 cents toward the bowling fees of those who will shoot in the roll-off. Twenty-five per cent of the field at each establishment will quali- ty for the final five-game set in which most of the $500 purse will be dis- tributed. League hence few bowlers will receive & time | and cost saving opportunity such as | that afforded the Navy Yarders, but many of them will have the second | best. Some of the bowling proprietors will permit tournament entrants to tack two games onto a league set to make up the qualifying test. | In many instances this procedure | will mean a sacrifice of business, but | the maple moguls, as a rule, recog- | nizing the tournament as a great asset | to the game, are willing to forego a | few shekels to put it over in a large | way. Trojans Come Back. TH!R.Z was the time, a year later, when Jones took his Southern Californians to South Bend. Here again, there was one of the big all- time thrills of foot ball. Notre Dame was leading. 14 to 0, with the game won and packed away. It was all over but the final check-up. Then, in the final rush, Southern California scored 16 points in 14 minutes. ‘These Notre Dame-U. S. C. games in the main have always been full of action, color and high-standard foot ball. This year’s game should be one of the best. Notre Dame has come along in a rush since the Pitts- burgh debacle, the story of an off day. Layden's young men have beaten Ohio State, Army and Northwestern among others, They ran up 46 points against Army and Northwestern, which tells the story of a fast, alert attack. Southern California also has a young team, which found itself only spots, But the possibilities were al- ways there and they are just about due to break out in a rash. ‘Warner’s Career Colorful. Tm there is Pop Warner, lugging ¢ his Temple team to meet St. Mary’s st San Francisco. Pop and I got to talking over the old days. The first time I ever saw Pop was back in 1896, when he brought his Georgia. team up to play Vanderbilt tn Nashville. That was only a mere matter of 40 years ago. After leaving Georgia Pop came along te coach some of the greatest teams in foot ball history. There was Oarlisle, still the most colorful ag- gregation that ever played foot ball anywhere—or any time—Jim Thorpe—Bemus Pierce — Metoxen— Hidson — Mount Pleasant — Hauser— Calae—Guyon—on and on—the day one of Pop's backs had the foot ball planted under his jersey to run 90 yerds for a touchdown—then a great Pittsburgh team, one of the best— then Stanford—now Temple—and now back again on the Coast. Greatest Offensive Coach. A GREAT thing about Pop. He still looks about the same age—dating back 20 or 25 years. He has a philoso- phy we all need. “I do the best I can,” he sald. “and let fate and nature take their courses. I quit worrying about things a long time ago. That's where age comes— with worry. And most of it is useless and wasted.” ‘Warner is the greatest offensive eoach foot ball ever knew. If you don't think so—ask all the other coaches. I was talking with Bill Hollenback of Pennsylvania, one of the greatest backs and one of the most attractive and eolorful people in the game. ‘“We played Carlisle,” he told me— Bill was Pennsylvania’s captain. “We knew around 1906 or 1907 there was & forward pass allowed, but all we could do was throw the ball end over end—any old way. Pop came along with his Indians, and they knew how te throw a spiral—the first one I ever saw. That was Pop.” It was Warner who came in with the wingbacks—it was Warner who kept every rival guessing. Pop is over @0 now, but he looks 45 or younger. And he still is one of the great coaches. e still keeps them guessing when he gets the material he can use. Task for Santa Clara. O CALIFORNIA will be full of foot ball for another month. Don't forget that Santa Clara game. Santa Clara otill is the one unbeaten, untied team in the upper bracket, and I happen to know that Slinging Sam Baugh and Tems Christian are shooting for the season’s major scalp. ‘This happens on December 12, and 8 should be one of the most interest- ing vontests of the year. At any rate, Santa Clars might just as well get busy en a_sound pass defense—not ® tip Buck Shaw, who knows what it's all about. Coprright, 1036, by the North American Newspaper Alliance.

INSISTS ON NIGHT BALL. MONTREAL, December 5 (#).— Prank Lawrence, owner of Portsmouth, has served an ultimatum on the Pied- mont League that unless his club was allowed to play night base ball he would withdraw from the circuit. BASE BAL DEALS SHT 24 PLAVERS Cubs, Dodgers Most Active at Minor Mart—Traders Move to New York. By the Associated Press. ONTREAL, December 5.—The minor-major league player mart was olosed down today as the big fellows studied the effects of deals that changed uniforms for 24 major league players and hit for another trading, selling and buy- ing session in New York. No stupendous and colossal deals, like the rumored sales of Dizzy Dean and Van Mungo, were closed in the four-day bazasr, but the David Harums of base ball did & fair land office business, In addition to deals between major league clubs, 11 players were shipped away to the minors, which sent 10 of their stars up to big time. More Deals on Fire. Several deals are expected to be closed when the major leaguers open their Winter meetings in New York Tuesday. Chicago’s Cubs and the Brooklyn Dodgers were the trading and selling champions of the Canadian shopping tour. The Cubs picked up Outfielder Joe Marty from San Prancisco, sold Out- flelder Ethan Allen to the St. Louis Browns and swapped Infielder Woody English and Southpaw Pitcher Roy Henshaw to Brooklyn for Third Base- man Linus Frey. They sent three play- ers to San Prancisco for Marty. Brookiyn Club Active.

ASADENA, Calif., December § (#).—Athletic authorities of University of Washington, con- fident the Huskies and the Pittsburgh Panthers will play before & capacity foot ball erowd of nearly 85,000 here New Year day, settled down to the serious task of arranging for the annual Rose Bowl grid show. Head Coach Jimmy Phelan, enjoy- ing & brief vacation here and hob- nobbing with fellow alumni of Notre Dame, announced he would call the Huskies into practice in 10 days or 30 and bring them on to Pasadena about December 20. “I was very pleased with the selec- tion _of Pittsburgh, and I know the Panthers will put up s terrific battle,” Phelan said. There was some criticism of the Pitt selection here based ~on the possibility that the Panthers, beaten three times in the Rose Bowl in past years, would not prove s box office attraction. Husm officials, still refusing to enter into any pro and con post- mortems over their choice, pointed out thst Dr. Jock Sutherland’s pupils knocked over Notre Dame, 26 to 0, and that it was the “Irish” who trounced Northwestern, which in turn had eliminated powerful Minnesota from the Nation’s undefeated ranks. Carl Kilgore, Husky student man- ager, opening ticket hesdquarters at Pass Up Post-moriems. and J. 'W. Wood, superintendent of the big establishment, per- mitted the Navy Yarders to use the first five games of a league doubleheader as tournament qualifying scores, each entrant forking over two bits to pay the bowling fees of those who make the grade into the roll-off, in which the bulk of the $500 purse will be at stake. On the center drive is William F. (Bucky) Burns, livewire president of the league, who was one of the stars of the evening. Tonight the Navy Yard League will hold a dance at the yard ball room. WEATER, M TOOHOTFIRC. L. Punchless Hoyas Fall, 10-6, | in Grid Scrap—Williams Scores on Fumble. BY BILL DISMER, Jr., aff Correspondent o The Star. MIAMI. December 5.—In full accord with those who pro- nounce Florida's climate as| sound reason for spending a | | town's foot ball players nrvgrtheleui | cast one decided vote against it as| | fit for gridmen today. after holding | | it directly responsible for their second loss of the 1936 campaign last night, | & 10-8 defeat at the hands of the University of Miami. Given time, it appears, Northern boys can accustom themselves to play- | |ing foot ball in the near-tropical| | temperatures of the deep South, as| dllustrated by the Hoyas’ opponents | who played only three men last night | who hail from homes south of Penn- | | sylvania. But Georgetowners proved | utterly incapable of acclimating them- | | selves to Miami's 86-degree tempera- ture within the short space of 24 | hours, and looked totally inferior to | | their capable opponents throughout | | the game. Thus ended Georgetown's hopes of finishing its first season since 1926 with only one set-back, the defeat by the Miamians, coupled with an earlier | | set-back by Manhattan, giving the Blue and Gray a record of six victories, | | two defeats and one tie for the 1936 | campaign. Joe Williams Stars. FOR a while, it appeared as if Joe ‘Williams was to become the hero for Georgetown, even as his million- aire father is becoming the toast of the team by his muitiple kindnesses during their week-end sojourn here. For today, players and coaches alike are trying to forget their sorrow aboard Mr. Williams' two fishing yachts, and tonight they are being his guests at Miami's charity ball. Behind, 0-3, as a result of a per- fect place-kick from the 15-yard line by Jack Dicker, one of the trio of Miami boys on the team, Williams was one who recovered a bad pass from | center, fumbled by Miami's star, Bob | Masterson, behind the Southerners’ goal for the first touchdown of the game to give G. U. a 6-t0-3 lead. But the Blue and Gray advantage lasted less than five minutes. One of 8 series of shovel-passes which fune- tioned all during the game, from Eddie Dunn to John Bolash, advanced Miami from midfield to Georgetown's 33-yard line and on the next play, Dunn passed 20 yards to Bob Master- son, who got away from Georgetown's secondary defense and ran 12 yards to score. ‘The rally to overtake Georgetown which, in turn, had overcome Miami's early success, most strikingly typified the history of this lttle 10-year-old achool which, built in the boom days of 1926 to educate sons and daughters of Florids’s newly acquired residents, rode through the depression to emerge 8s this State's foremost little college, second in importance only to the State University at Gainsville.

But despite Coach Jack Hagerty’s numerous and frequent substitutions, Blue and Gray players began to wilt and the result of the heat was seen as they tramped slowly off the field when relieved. Not until they scored, on Willlams’ recovery, did Georgetown seem to perk up, and then the rally lasted but & few moments. Por one of the few times this season, the G. U. line was unable to function with its usual display of power, the Hoyas not making a first down until midway the final quarter. In the meantime, Miami was gathering momentum with every play, their the Hoyas H | contest between Jeremiah T.

EW YORK, December 5 (#).— The National Foot Ball Rules Committee notoriously is slow to make any basic changes in the playing code but the coaches, individually, have suggested a dozen or more revisions that may come up for discussion, if not action, at the annual rules committee sessions. Most of the debate, naturally, will revolve about the provisions that caused the most trouble in the last season—those involving forward-pass interference and the kicking of a free ball. But coaches, responding to an As- sociated Press poll, also suggested changes in many other rules includ- ing those affecting the use of the shift, the point after touchdown. sub- stitutions, and the lateral pass. Differ on Shift Penaity. IMMY CROWLEY of Fordham and Dugquesne officials are eon- cerned over the 15-yard penalty ex- acted when the offensive team, after shifting, fails to pause a full second before putting the ball in play. Ford- ham lost more than 100 yards in the St. Mary's game for infractions of this rule and Duquesne lost as much or more in the Detroit game. Crowley suggests a S-yard penalty would be enough and A. B. Maginnes | of Lehigh, a well known Eastern of- | ficial, agrees. Clarence Overend, graduate manager of athletics at Carnegie Tech, com- plains on the other hand that the Tar« tans suffered frequently because of- ficials failed to call the penalty. He wants strict enforcement of the “one- second” rule. The point after touchdown. long a subject for acrid debate, suffers its | annual bombardment.

He would count first downs as a substitute for two strongest teams in the ecountry. ‘This break gives the Sugar Bowl a big jump in the way of landing one of the two top teams of 1936.

Of chief interest on the slim pro- gram was Arkansas’ battle with Texas for the Southwest Conference title and three intersectional clashes, in which Notre Dame met Southern Cali- fornia, Temple took on St. Mary’s and Manhattan faced the erratic Texas Aggies.

Bergman Has Suggestion. EDWARD (SLIP) MADIGAN of St. Mary's Gaels would eliminate the S-yard penalty charged against the team asking time out more than three times in one half. He believes this rule handicaps teams which have few reserves. Along the same line, Jimmy Phelan of Washington wants unlimited substitutions. The rule now states that a player withdrawn may not re-enter | the game in the same period.
