When reminded that he'd be okeh on either count. Sick assured that he'd rather have the ballplayers and a good team for Seattle. Which is an admirable feeling the likes of which should rub off on another baseball sponsoring baron we know. incidentally, when Sick promoted Floyd W.

As for the condemned light towers, which oddly enough stood up through the recent wind storms, Holman and the board feel that perhaps they can make a deal with the fire laddies to replace the broken light bulbs. If the new hook 'n ladder apparatus can reach enough, there will be no need for anyone to climb the poles to make the replacements. ...

Friel Enters 24th Season At WSC Helm Picks His Cougars To Fnd in Cellar PULLMAN, Wash., Dec. 22-iJfy-When the Washington State Col lege basketball team takes on Oregon State on Jan. 4, to open the 1951-52 northern division season, it will mark the 24th year that Cougar Coach Pack Freil has been a restless participant on such an occasion. During the crucial moments of a game he's a nervous jack-in-the-box, burying his head in his arms, squirming and in general appear ing to be a cross between Eddie Stanky and a caged mountain Hon. Off the Floor he's easy going and congenial. Besides sending his 1941 team to the national collegiate athletic association finals, only to lose a close game to Wisconsin; fielding three northern division champion ship clubs in the past decade and always producing a fighting, hard-to-beat quintet, Friel has made other contributions to the game. Two of his most recent, the two platoon system and a new rule to govern defensive fouls, have been widely received. The two -platoon system needs no explanation except to say that Friel used it two years before it became a much discussed part of football. This fall, Friel, in conjunction with the other northern division coaches, proposed to the national rules committee that a second foul shot be allowed if the first toss is missed on defensive fouls now calling for one free throw. This group and the Pacific Coast con ference have O. K.'d the plan and it will be tried for the first time in northern division play this year. Friel's WSC career began when he entered as an undergraduate in 1919. He won three letters each in basketball and baseball and cap tained the hoopsters in his jun ior year. After five years of high school coaching his 1927-28 north central club of Spokane won the state championship he re turned to WSC as head coach. The best player he ever coached was Ed Gayda, Friel says, and he filles out his all-time WSC five with Paul Lindeman, center, Claude Holstem, at the other for ward, and Pete Hooper and Art McLarney, guards. Friel, who teaches a modified ball control game with just enough fast break to keep the defense honest, says this year's club may not be as good as some previous ones. In fact, he gives it little chance of keeping out of the cellar, picking Washington to win, Idaho second and Oregon and Oregon State to fight it out for third. Friel promises the Cougars will play "interesting" games, however, but he neglects to say "interesting" for whom.

Page) "I predicted while I was try ing to catch up with Maxim that some day he would be challeng ing Harry," said Hurley. "Now Matthews is the hotest attraction ln the boxing business. Every- body is challenging him. In a title fight it would be Harry not Max im who drew the crowd." Late this fall he announced that Matthews would campaign as a heavyweight, aiming at a crown clash with Joe Walcott. He said there were "no developments" in his new program. Matthews, now at his home here, has no definite commitments at present. "I've got to give the kid a rets," said Hurley. "He hadn't recovered from an attack of flue when I took him east for four fights in three weeks recently." From the 29 -year-old Matthews the only comment was: "I'll fight who, when and where Hurley tells me." Illinois Holds First Scrimmage PASADENA, Califs Dec. 22-(JP) Coach Ray Eliot herded his Illi nois Rose Bowl football team on the practice field twice today, with the afternoon session dedicated to the squad's first scrimmage since the end of the Big Ten conference season. EVERYBODY FOOLED REDDING, Calif., Dec. 22-JP)-A basketball game between Connie Mack Comments on Ball Trends as 89th Year Reached PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22 - (P) Connie Mack celebrated his 89th birthday today by solving the mystery of his birth date, expres sing opposition to a third major league, calling. night baseball good for the game, and regretting he didn't go in for farm teams years ago. The exact date of Mack's birth has puzzled biographers for years. But no more. The straight-backed old gentleman started his 90th year by showing all his birthday party guests his baptismal certifi cate. It shows that Mr. Baseball was born on Dec. 22, 1862. Then he answered a barrage of questions from reporters. "I don't think it would be a good idea for the Pacific Coast league to become a major league," said Mr. Mack.. "First of all I don't think any of the west coast cities, with the exception of San Francisco and Los Angeles are big enough to support . major league baseball. And I wouldn't want to take Los Angeles and San Francisco into our present two leagues because it would break up the Pacific Coast league," said the president of Philadelphia Athletics. Asked about night baseball, Mack said, "I think night base ball is good for the game. We certainly draw more people at Statea Parks-Gorky Mat Battle to Top Christmas Night Program at Armory; Kiser in Prelim oa ' 1 Bustling Herb Parks, wrestling's perpetual motion man, and Soldat Gorky, a mat nasty if ever there was one, collide Tuesday night at the armory in Matchmaker Elton Owen's annual Christmas special It wont be the first time these two have teed off on one another. they've had two other meetings, and -both were real dormybrooks.

He admitted he has had offers from other sources and that, "like every coach, I have given thought to whether it would be wise to go on in the coaching pro fession or go into business. However, he said: "I have been awfully happy here. As far as I know I will be back next fall." The reports said Evashevski has had offers from a couple of Big Ten teams. Ill-Fated Don Black To Get Indian Payment CLEVELAND, Dec. 22HfP)-The Cleveland Indians decided today to pay their ex-pitcher, Don Black, any money he has coming because of the brain injury that ended his baseball career. Black had filed his claim for disability compensation with the Ohio industrial commission. The regional board here ruled in his favor. Black collapsed while at bat during a game with the St. Louis Browns in 1948. Just how much Black will get was not disclosed. Black got about $40,000 out of a "Don Black" night staged by ex President Bill Veeck while Black still was in the hospital. Shasta high school of Redding and Klamath Falls ended in a tie last night. The fans went home believing Shasta. won, 58-57. Later official scorers determined the count ac tually was 58-58. By that time the teams already had showered and were dressing. The rival coaches agreed to leave it as a tie. night since it gives more people a chance to see the games. As for the players, night baseball won't cut their careers. That idea is just something that's in their minds. Mack, who long has opposed the farm system, apparently has mel lowed in his attitude toward chain store baseball. He admitted that the Athletics should have gone in for farms a long time ago. For Ben! Tracks Pans, Stakes, Pickups Do Your Own Hauling.
