NEW YflRK. Dec. 4 (IP) You
can put whatever value you
want on Berlin radio announce
ments (and get plenty of change
from a buck) but the folks who
have been hollering that we
ought to give up sports because
of the current shortages of play
ers, transportation and equip
ment may bo interested in a re
cent item snatched from the air
waves . . . The Berlin announcer
reported that no fewer than six
international sports events are
scheduled in Europe next Sun
day. PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE
In Canada they like to tell
stories about the thrifty lads
from the maritime provinces, so
when Andy Lytle, the Toronto
Star sport scribe, heard of re
cent disorders at Chicago hockey
games, he was reminded of a
brawl that took place at the
Montreal forum. While the play
ers were fighting, the custom
ers showed their displeasure by
tossing pennies, dimes and even
quarters onto the ice . . . And in
the midst of it all, Gordie Dril
' Ion calmly skated around, gath
ered up the coins and presented
them to his parents, who had
come up from Monoton, N. B.,
for the game. .

newspaper won the office foot

sin... One of the losers couldn't
understand. "Didn't you know
Wisconsin was undefeated and
had tied Notre Dame?" he asked.
.... "Sure," replied the kid,
"but those Seahawks are tough."

Dizzy Football Oddities Give
Season's Close Humorous Turn
By AUSTIN BEALMEAR
, NEW YORK, Dec. 4 (IP) Two
players caught their own passes,
a guard scored twice in one game
and a tackle once carried the
ball for a six-yard gain during
the 1942 football season, which
produced enough upsets to drive
the fans crazy but didn't confine
all its dizzy doings to the final
scores.
These and other oddities were
uncovered today in an Associated
Press survey of the nation's grid
iron goofiness, much of which
contributed to the welter of form
reversals.
Probably the prize oddity of
the year came in the Illinois up
set of Minnesota when an Illinl
guard, Ale.x Agase, scored two
touchdowns on plays that origi
nated with the Gophers snapping
the ball. Agase first stole the
ball from Daley on the dead run
and didn't stop until he had
crossed the goal line. Then a
bad pass from the Minnesota
center scooted into the end zone
and Agase pounced on It for an
other touchdown.
Passers did all sorts of peculiar
things, Rny Evans of Kansas

Willie Turnesa
Gives Dash to
War-Time Golf
; By JOHN WILDS
MIAMI. Fla., Dec. 4 (IP)
For the second time this year
a uniformed member of the
golfing Turnesa' family from
Elmsford, N. Y., put a dash of
suspense today into a war-time
tournament.
Chief Specialist Willie Tur
nesa of the navy the 1938 na
tional amateur champion and
now an instructor in the free
gunnery school at Hollywood,
Fla. started the second round
of the $5000 Miami open in
third place after carding a two-under-par
68 for an opener. .
He was only two strokes off
the first round pace, set by Ben
Loving of Springfield, Mass.,
with a pair of 33's, and trailed
Harold McSpaden of Philadel
phia by the thinnest of margins.
Loving had an opportunity
for a 64, which would have
equalled the competitive course
record, but three-putted the 18th
green from about 14 feet. He
sank a 35-yard chip shot for an
eagle on the 460-yard 13th hole.
Kerr Announces Squad for
Annual East-Wesi Batile
HAMILTON, N. Y., Dec. 4 (IP)
Colgate Coach Andy Kerr today
announced the 22-man team he
will send against a squad to be
coached by VBabe" Hollingbery ,

not go to the Rose Bowl, in the
annual east-west game for char

but it was batted back and he
caught it himself for a one-yard
loss. Royal Lohry of Iowa State
pulled the same . stunt against
Villanova.
Bob Steuber of Missouri
hurled a pass intended for Mar
shal Shurnas in the Oklahoma
game. The ball struck Shurnas
on the head, bounced , back to
the line of scrimmage and was
intercepted by Oklahoma's Dub
Lamb. ...
In the game between Texas
A. and M. and Texas Christian
Wayne Cure, an Aggie tackle,
caught the ball on a field goal
attempt and rambled back for

Majors Drop Baseballs'
Winter Show to Minors
Billy Evans Back in Baseball After
Amazing Switch of Southern Prexies
. By JUDSON BAILEY
CHICAGO, Dec. 4 (IP) The minor leagues took baseball's
winter show away from the majors today and the choicest topic
of conversation was not the business facing the convention but
the startling switch of Southern association presidents which
brought Billy Evans back into baseball.
It was the most dramatic story In many years o( minor league
meetings. And it came about because a train was late.
All day yesterday Evans, former general manager of the
Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox, and tor 22 years an
American lenguo umpire, was

Eligibility
For Freshmen
EUGENE, Dec. 4(P) The
University of Oregon athletic
department has gone on record
as favoring the eligibility of
freshmen and transfers for the
duration of the war, and the new
rule will be proposed for im
mediate action, at the December
meeting of the Pacific Coast con
ference in San Francisco.
The recommendation Is that
freshmen be allowed four years
of varsity competition similar to
the regulations adopted by the
Ivy league on the east coast at
the start of the current fooball
season. The rule would make
any athlete properly enrolled in
school, except those academical
ly ineligible or those who have
been registered in violation to
the "Atherton code" eligible for
varsity competition.
. It was pointed out that few
transfers are now moving from
one school to another because of
athletic preference, but that
wartime conditions have caused
many to change selective stud'
ies, cheaper living conditions,
and closeness to their homes.

Rose Bowl Player
"Willing Victim"
For Betty Grable
ATLANTA, Dec. 4 JP) If
Georgia's 200-pound tackle, Dick
Richardson, has a date with
Betty Grable when the Bulldogs
reach the Rose bowl, he can
thank his prankster friends.
Fraternity brothers wired Miss
Grable for a date and signed
Richardson's name. A publicity
man at the movie company
where the blonde ' star works
wired Atlanta to confirm the
request.
When Richardson was ques
tioned he denied sending the
original wire but thought it was
1 a good idea.
So, Richardson, a sophomore,
may be the very willing "vic
tim - of a prank. .

Trammel Scott, who had
headed the Southern association
for five years and was a mem

ot the National Association of
Professional Baseball league for
two, still was the president of
his league and no one suspected

Scott had left Atlanta on a
train due here at 1:30 p. m. and
intended to prcsido over the

when his club owners convened,
Scott had not been heard from

For two hours the owners ar

he was installed as the new
president.
His first function was to at

CHICAGO, Dec. 3 (P) The
major leagues at a joint meet'
ing with Baseball Commissioner
K. M. Landis today decided to
continue the same program of
night games in 1943 as they
played in 1942.
The program calls for a max'
imum of 14 at home night
games for any club except
Washington In the American
league. The Senators will be
permitted to play a total of 21
night' contests. Previously the
National league' representatives
expressed a desire for only seven
al home night games, but agreed
at today's meeting to follow
last year's schedule again.
A proposal originating among
some minor league clubs that
they be permitted to freeze the
rights to their players in the
event war conditions force them
to suspend operations, was vot
ed down.

NBA At Oddi With N. Y.
In Giving Winner of Jack

By 8ID FEDER
NEW YORK. Dec, 4 (IP)
There's a new fight stew cook
ing on the firo today, bccmiso
tho National Boxing association
doesn't believe in "hand-picking"
a champion,
That, says NBA President Abe
Gicono, Is, in effect, what tho
New York slate athletic com
mission is doing In Insisting on
recognizing tho winner of a
Beau Jack-Tippy Larkln fight
in Madison Square Giirclen, De
cember 18, as the world light
weight champion, succeeding
Sammy Xngott, who abdicated a
few weeks ngo because of in
jured hands.
So, the fight stew probably
will come to a boil in the next
day or so, because from the way
all signs arc waving in thu wind,
the NBA will not give Its bless
ing to the Jack-Larkln winner
as champion. Beforo tho victor
guts the association's sanction,
he'll have to tannic with the
survivor of a tournament open
to 13 fighters from coast to
coast.
New York's fistic fathers also
dipped into the tournament angle
yesterday, In addition to an
nouncing their title recognition
for the Jack-Larkln scramble. A
tourney will start, tho Manhattan

ately after December 18, and
Ihe survivor of the 13-man elimi

"title" from Jcrscyan Larkln or
