Real 'Mudder'
Purple and Blue to Clash
And Fans May Wonder :
Who Has the Ball
PASADENA, Calif.; Dec. 30.-(ff)-Southern
California's "ideal"
weather took another holiday to
lay and It began to appear ' that
the Washington-Pittsburgh battle
hi the Rose Bowl New Year's day
might be played under unfavorable
tonditions '
, Meanwhile the grid aggrega
tions of Washington and. Pitt went
through their last serious work-
respective mudding abilities of the
two teams came In for scrutiny
and athletic heads of the rival
schools staged a minor gentleman
ly squabble of their own. -
The question of the color of Jer
seys for the big game brought on
the disagreement. Pitt's colors are
bine and gold, the Huskies' deep
purple and gold. In solid design,
the purple looks blue or the blue
looks purple, which ever you pre
fer. Both teams want to wear dark
bodied Jerseys Friday.
runs may ui i er
' All of which Is hardly a crucial
Issue, but. it might develop Into
that phage when tbe expected 87,
00 0-odd .spectators perched In the
Rose Bowl stands try to decide
whether the blue and gold of Pitt
or the purple and gold of the Hus
kies has the ball.
Washington and Pitt have play
ed but one game apiece this year
In muddy going. The Huskies won
theirs against Oregon State, 19 to
7. Pitt lost its-fone setback of the
season in the mud the sad 7-0
shutout to Duiue&ne.

Resignation of John L. Gary
from the secretaryship of the
state high school athletic associ
ation will give that body a real
problem. Since Gary took over the
Job seven years ago the work and
worry attached to the post has In
creased every year until now It Is
almost a full time Job. Gary, who
already has a very full time Job as
superintendent of the West Linn
public schools, apparently has de
cided that the Job of keeping the
state high school athletic activ
ities straight is too much for a
man's spare time.
The association will nave a
hard time finding a man willing
to take en : the duties on the
same basis as Gary handled It.
It has grown Into too much of a
Job. The association will prob
ably have to take Gary's recom
mendation and create a fall time '
paid secretaryship.
It will seem funny not to have
Mr. Gary beaming about the state

old glory, however.

Tiny Cooper Friday finds he has
a broken rib and won't be able to

turally, this was a terrific blow to
each outfit's flag hopes.
. G reenber g, the American League's
most valuable player in 1935, was
laid up with a broken wrist last
spring, ajid it is still doubtful
whether he will ever regain full use
of the injured flipper. If he can re
turn to the initial sack in '37, the
Tigers may return to the leading
position they enjoyed before he was
incapacitated.
Menace of Big-Time Cambilng Seen
By Grid Coaches; Investigation Is
Ordered By Group; Kipke New Chief
NEW YORK, Dec. 30. (AP) Warned in forthright term,
of the "serious menace" of professional gambling: on col
lege football games, the American Football Coaches as
sociation today decided to probe its growth and determine def
inite steps calculated to curb any threat of wagering evils.
After being elected unanimously as the association's new
president at the closing session ofO
the 16th annual convention, Mich
igan's Harry Kipke announced he
would soon name a special com
mittee to study the gambling sit
uation and report its recommen
dations to the 1937 meetings.
This committee will investigate
alleged activities of professional
gamblers, some of whom are said
to have established contacts at
many laTge colleges, as well as
the growth of football pools.
Gus Dorals, veteran Detroit
coach and one-time team-mate of
Knute Rockne at Notre Dame,
brought the subject of gambling
dangers before the convention In
his report as chairman of the com
mittee on public relations. In rec
ommending a study of the entire
situation. Dorals said:
"When professional big-time
gamblers Interest themselves in
the results of oar games, I do not
need to tell yon men what might

his arm will react when spring
training starts. If he can come
