HERE'S FAMOUS , SINCE 1894 'Btv Sports L T.- V! Briefs Hu9h " Ji Vf FuU,r,on' Jr L aOrWatl NEW YORK, Dec. 19 Things are threatening to pop in basketball circles hereabouts all because Fordham and NYU protested the eligibility of couple of Brooklyn college players. The question seems to be a bit academic, since it con- cerned only conflicting rules, but the coaches are ready to start blowing the whistle on one another and there's no telling where it may stop. For years it's been an open secret that some of the coaches engaged in free-handed recruiting and that many players weren't averse to changing their names on Sun- days to pick up a bit of cash . . . As long as it wasn't too flagrant, nobody cared much, but now that basketball defi nitely is in the big time and a successful team means real dough, the game seems to be suffering the same sort of grow. ing pains that football felt in its earlier days. THUMBS DOWN The blistered thumb brigade otherwise known as bowlers view with alarm the plan or iginated by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wilman of Chicago, both top- llignt pin topplers . . . They have a hard and fast household rule that the one with the sorest thumb has to wash the dinner dishes because they believe im mersion in hot, soapy water helps relieve the soreness And to think how many bowl ers have used that sore-thumb alibi to get out of doing dishes so they'd have more time to bowl..
