I'd go Into the business I did baseball." replied the "old gentle man" who will soon start his 55th season on the diamond. He will be 7S Thursday. "With the good and bad. its a grand old game. I hope It will al ways remain so," he said. "Do you know," he continued "I get a thrill every now and then when I pick up the paper and sec where some old ball player Is still around and active.

' 04 Southern Pacific A. F. Noth, Agent Pro Football Boom Attracts Sport-Minded New Yorx, uec. ai wn noiwun standing some confusion in the minds of our sporu experts as to Just where we are going. In some respects, It s obvious tney tnink the growth in popularity of professional football ts the most striking develop ment ol 1937. Of all the trends or cross-cur rents noted during the year, the pro gridiron boom attracted most atten tion, as well as a bigger share of the sports-page headlines than ever before. For one thing it ts still fresh In mind. For another, the cli max games, featuring Sammy Baugh and the Washington Kcdskins, pro duced the most exciting football of 1937, amateur, pro or semi-pro. No other trend or development was even close to pro football, which got the vote of 22 out of 63 experts participating in the seventh annual Associated Pres poll. Seven noted the growing popular ity of football in general, five em phasized the paralleling increase in gate receipts, while five more sug gested that defensive grid maneuv ers, such as the five-man line, rep resented the year's most conspicu ous trend. Otherwise the poll reflected noth- lng so much as contrasts of opinion or viewpoint. Five sports editors pointed to more liberal collegiate views on the subsidization of ath letes, including "more open recruit lng" or "calm acceptance of pro fessionalism In college football,1 but Lhree others believe the trend is toward more "de-emphasis," leb recruiting, and decreased demands for all-winning teams. Sextant Needed In Alaska for Ice Bowl Game King Island (Via Teller and Nome) Alaska, Dec. 21 (fl) The timekeeper of the Ice bowl game New Year's day is going to need a sextant as well as a watch, or else the second half of the Arc tic championship tussle may wind up on January 2. Fr. Bernard Hubbard, S.J.. and the coaches of Uie two Eskimo teams, Ed Levin and Ken Chls hold, speculated on this prob lem today. , They recalled that a few days ago the teams were forced to train Indoors because a gale came along and blew away the Ice field on the village side of the Island. "What we're afraid of now," Levin said, "la that In the beat of battle, the Ice field may break away again. Then If Plglok, my star fullback, makes a wide sweep around end, he may end up on the other side of the In ternational dateline." The "dateline"" Is 75 miles east of this IVring Strait Island.
