the credits deluxe and there is,

To further round out this hypo
thetical picture I'm easing on this
easel, say J. Jaspar, up to the time
I take an interest in him, is tic
- eted for a number of terms in the
bean fields because his family has
not the juniper Juice to send him
to even a correspondence school?
And, with my beans he sees

' What, my hearties, would the
Pacific Coast football conference,
under Its new, goody, goody code.
and throia its enforcing agent,
Mr. 'Trails-End" Atherton, do
about the situation when and if it
ultimately unfolded before it?
The answer. It is the opinion
of yoar sytheticslly dough
heary observer, is Bot! How
could the conference do any
bat accept the situation as a
fact. If the situation ever came
to its attention, which Is doubt
fal anless J. Jaspar was asked,
pointblank, from whence he was
getting his funds?
I, as a fairly respectable citizen,
would hare as much right to send
J. Jaspar to Stanford to play foot
ball as you would to send some
youngster to the Boston conserva
tory of music for violin. Further
more, maybe I think football at
Stanford will do J. Jaspar more

As long as J. Jaspar's scholastic
standing measured up to the re
quired standard, and as long as J.
Jaspar was averaging six yards
per carry twaicn ne wouia or 1
wouldn't be so interested in him ) ,
I reckon J. Jaspar would have a
place on Stanford's football team.
Wouldn't he Mr. Shaughnessy?
The new conference code, of
course, pertains more to the di-
r en ion of the school's fund in
payment for athletic services,
placlng a ban on such subsidi
sation. Which, if carried out
to the letter, is most certainly
going to hurt the calibre of
football, for not every school in
the conference is so fortunate as
to hare some money bags inter
ested in it like 1 am at Stan
ford. Pay 'Em? Sure!
"Just why all this Sudden psue-do-puritanical
surge is beyond
me. J have long contended, and
haven't changed my mind a bit,
that there is nothing wrong with
assisting a boy blessed with ath
letic ability through school any
more than there is w4th assisting
a youngster endowed with other
abilities.
Further, it Is my contention
football player should not
have to work to earn hie way
through' during the football
season proper. A grid guy has
a hard enough time carrying a
minimum of school work and
taking care of his football
chores without having" to la
bor two to six hours daily.
Football, (or for that matter,
basketball, baseball or any of
the rest of the college sports as
they're Intensely carried on
bow), is a full time Job In it
self. The one feature, of proselitlng
that la unhealthy and that should
be curtailed by some manner is
the one which allows bidding for
the services of an athlete. Under
the new code, if enforced, this
will be done away with insofar
as the coaches and schools them
selves are concerned, but what is
to prevent it from continuing via
alumni and "'friends?"
: Several times I have advo
cated standard salary limit
- for football players as the solu
tion, and still think such would
be a better working arrange
ment for the Coast conference.
Pay 'era, yes, but pay 'em above
board and make the the penalty
for any attempt to sweeten the
maTimnm with "side" moae7
or other inducements so severe
that no one would attempt it.

John Dick led the Oregon at

The Webfoots, who have shown

Lanky John Dick, playing cen
ter again, broke the scoring ice
Id a minute and 20 -seconds with
a lay-in shot, bis first of nine
field goals. Anderson followed
with a long one. In 10 minutes
the Ducks built up a 19-8 margin
Washington, playing a nice floor
game, was badly off in marksman
ship. The score reached 25-13
before the Huskies rallied.
Bob Voelker knlved through
the Duck defenses for three bas
kets in two minutes. That
brought the tally to 25-19. -Hal

two field goals and Vic Townsend
of Oregon one in rapid succession,
putting the score at 27-23. Jack
Yoelkner scored again as the half
ended and they recessed with
Oregon ahead 27-25.
The Ducks nursed the tender
advantage through a blustery sev
en minutes of the second half,
finally got their plays to rolling
again and went seven points
ahead, 39-32. Here again Schlic
ting rallied the Huskies, who cut
the Duck lead to 39-36. With 10
minutes to go, Oregon put on the
brakes. As they slowed the pace
their plays began to function
again and they steadily increased
their margin to s final advantage
of nine points.
The Huskies played without
Harry Nelson, high-scoring guard,
who was ill. Three players were
benched on fouls, Bob Voelker
going to the dock after three min
utes of the second half. His early
loss hurt the Huskies considera
bly. Andrews and Dick of Ore

JUDGE K. M. LANDIS
Landis Proposes
Transaction Plan
Subsidies to Minors, no
Player Options in
Czar's Offering
By CHARLES DUNKLET
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-(iiP)-Kene-
saw Mountain iandis, commis
sioner of baseball, offered today a
plan that would revolutionise
player transactions between ma
jor and minor league clubs.
Landis, in a 3000-word letter to
all club owners proposed to clar
ify the situation resulting from
his recent decision freeing 91
players from the Detroit Tigers'
farm system.
It aims to establish for the play
ers freedom of competition and
the proper chance of advance
ment; for the clubs, equality of
opportunity to acquiring players
and for the minor leagues the as
bistance they need and which crit
ics of the recent Landis decision
maintained are Impossible without
farm" systems.
Landis' proposal is in no way
an order to the club owners. In a
brief preamble, the commissioner
pointed out that his plan merely
is a suggestion and a request is
made upon all clubs, major and
minor, to survey the proposal and
submit views and suggestions as
promptly as possible.
Lists Fundamental Objectives
The commissioner has always
regarded farm systems as "evil,"
and detrimental to the best inter
ests of young ball players.
The fundamental objectives of
the plan are:
1. The major and minor
leagues to cooperate in acquiring.
developing and advancing players.
z. Clubs to acquire a player by
no means except outright owner
ship in other words, no player
can be held on option.
3. Small minor league teams
classes B, C and D to be granted
cash subsidies each year.
4. All players In classes below
the major leagues not sold by a
deadline Landis suggested Sep
tember 1 as the date to be eli
gible for drafting by higher clas
sification clubs each year.
Protects Club Owners
The major points in the plan
are listed as protection of Inter
ests of club owners, promotion of
welfare of the players and secure
their chance to advance or still
and above all to warrant the pub
lic's confidence in baseball Integ
rity and methods.
The most striking possibility in
the plan is the demand that no
player could be controlled by any
club except through outright own
ership. That would end options
and working agreements.
Insistence is made that players
'shall hare the right to advance
and remain In the highest classi
fication of baseball service for
which they are qualified," and
that clubs "shall have equality of
opportunity to obtain player
strength on reasonable terms with
no possibility of restrictions by
competing clubs to control players
at the source of supply" mean
ing the miuors.
