EARLY DAY DIAMOND
STAR IS SUMMONED
BOSTON. April 3 AP) -John Mor

of the old Boston Nationals when
they won the pennant tn IBM. died
today. Morrill played every position
on the diamond and was one of the
best known all around players la the
game.
of everybody In these parts
Graduates and friends of the uni
versity merslly went down the line
for Spears. They found that Gov
ernor Meier wan entirely friendly
to athletlre In all the schools. They
found that very few members of
the board had any thought of
wrecking the traditions or customs
of the schools. From every part
of the state Dr. Spears received
assurance that he would have
whole-hearted support In the pro
gram he was auppaacd to be build
ing here.
When Dr. Spears again entered
into negotiations with Wisconsin
he took upon himself the msjor
responsibility for the break. He
wanted to leave. People here who
had tried to look tolerantly upon
hla constant complaining as the
peculiarity of a genius began to
realize that the man had never
felt any real obligation under his
Me
First" with Speara, even to the ex
tent of abandoning dozens of young
men who had staked (heir college
courses on his training. People who
had viewed his shopping around for
other Jobs as a nervous eccentricity
were forced to admit they had been
too tolerant.
There Is no mourning for Dr.
Speara tn these parts. Spears U
still admired as a great football
trainer and strategist, but the myth
of Speara, the inspiring leader of
young men. Is gone. There Is no
d pet re to hold him here against
hi will, Oregon can do a better
Job of character-building without
him. Wisconsin's piratical tactics
are not appreciated but Wisconsin
Is welcome to the genial doctor.
There Is, however, an Issue that
ought to be settled for the good of
a great collegiate sport. Dr. Spears,
with his flair for personal public
ity, has left the Impression that
his exit Is a generous effort to save
the university from embarrassment
with ths at ate board. This Impli
cation la resented deeply. The con
tract of Dr. Spears was with the
! Associated Students. It was not in
iany way affected by curtailment
i programs. There never was any
move to cut Dr. Spears' pay or sup
port. It is only necessary to point
to the McEwan case to prove that
the Associated 8tudents fulfill their
part of any contract to the last
letter. Dr. Speara' glib statement
is only a thin veil for his attitude
that a contract Is a one-way scrap
of paper for the protection of a
coach only.
If Dr. Speara escapes legs action
to enjoin his services at Wisconsin
or heavy damage actions. It will be
only because such a course la held
unworthy of the sport of the uni
versity. After all the great dam
age la not to the University of
Oregon but to the Ideals of honor
in Intercollegiate affairs and to the
tradition of sport as a character
builder.
If the Untercolleglate Coaching
association has any Idea of estab
lishing coaching on a really pro
fessional basis It will not ignore
the flagrant conduct of a man aup
posed to be one of the nation's
outstanding leaders. If the Inter
collegiate Athletic associations have
any real moral force they wilt not
pass lightly over the University of
Wisconsin's brazen disregard of the
first principles of ethlca In sport
or business.
If the Intercollegiate sport Is to
survive the rising storm of protest
It must purge lteelf of practices
which are only one cut above "racketeering."

Braves Manager Says Team
Better Than Last Year
Shires Expected To Add
Strength At First Base.
By Bill MeKeehnle,
(Manager. Boston Braves.)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. JF I am
very hopeful for much better things
for the Braves during the coming sea
son. For one thing, X have room for
hope. But seriously, I honestly be
lieve I have a better club than last
year.
Art Shires. I hsve every confidence,
will strengthen us at first base. He
has lesmed his lesson. I sm certain
Everybody knows he has plenty of
natural ability, particularly as a hit
ter, and hitting Is our greatest need.
1 Shires Sot ole Stranger
However, Shires la not the only
newcomer from whom we expect add
ed Infield strength during 1032. At
third base I feel I have every right
to took for help from Frit Knothe.
Knot he last year with Seattle made
the all-star Psctftc Coast league team.
He is a fine, fast fielder and a good
hitter, and he comes to us with a lot
of experience.
Bill Akers. obtained from Kansas
City, will get the cell st second base.
He Is a colorful player with high
promise.
Younger Infield.
These plans, of course, mean that
we will hsve a new infield of young
players always a gamble. However,
we have Rabbit Maranvllie. a wise
veteran of years of experience, to add
balance, and we feel that the Infield
gamble must be taken.
Oscar Eckhardt, purchased by the
Braves from the San Francisco Mla
slons. shows rare promise. In the
Coast league last season he hit .395
and he 4s one of the fastest men in
baseball.
Betts Good Bet.
I understand there was some mer
riment when we drafted "Huck" Betts
from St. Paul, but I predict there
won't be any laughing when he is
een performing for us next summer.
He has uncanny control and the fact
that he has got something was dem
onstrated when he starred In the
American association in 1S31 and also
in the "little world series."
Our pitching staff, most ever-one
agrees, last year would have landed
us In the first division with any bit
ting behind it.

of the National Association of Basket
ball Coaches today had for considera

gestions for changes In rules at the
final session of their annual meeting.
Along with a proposal to establish
uniform Interpretation of the rules,
six Important suggestions for revis

game up and eliminate stalling. They
were:

2 Empower the referee to penalise
a team whloh fails to advance In an
attempt to break up stalling by an
opponent.
J Make all foul shot at the end
of the half and the end of the game.
Also to "cancel" foul shots and permit
the team having a balance to shoot.
4 Limit the time a plsyer may re
tain the ball after taking It off the
backboard, before advancing past the
middle of the floor.
5 Call a "Jump ball" after a pley
er has held the ball five second, re
