The other day the University of
Illinois hockey team had to call
off game with Minnesota be
cause it had only seven players
available after they had met
once. It also called off the rest
of its schedule Gordon Gil
more of the St. Paul Dispatch
provides further Information
that both teams wanted to let
the Illinl use freshmen so the
second game could bo played as
an "exhibition" but the Western
conference faculty representa
tive said no because of the Big
Ten freshman rule. . . . This,
Gilmore points out, caused Min

Trick Shots Limited
To Exhibition Work
Br FRED FITZSIMMONS
A Big League Bowler, Too
There is no particular advan
tage L. reviewing trick shots.
The better bowlers seldom
leave splits requiring uncanny
manipulation of the ball.
The average kegler couldn't
make a trick shot if he wan.ed
to.
On near impossible splits such
is the 7-10, or railroad, luck fig
ures to too great an extent.
Railroad . . . across the alley.
Trick shots are limited f ev.
hibition work, such as Joe Fal-
caro s feat cf making a ball hop
irom one alley to knock down
pins on the adjacent one.
The 7-10 split was rarely made
even Before the American Bowl
ine Coneress rieenenprl thn ou.
ters some 15 years ago. Now,
wnen a ball caroms off the wall,
there is one chance in 20 that
will come out of the sruttr.
To make this extremely diffi
cult spilt, the No. 10 pin is your
target and it must be cut very
thin in order tn eivo It n mitnh
lateral motion as possible. Yet
there must be sufficient force to
carom the 10 off the sideboards
and to bounce it back and over
to the 7.
' Forget trick shots, concentrate
on fundamentals, practice, Join
league, bowl reeularlv.
That is the way to raise your
average. 1

Husky Hoopmen Overwhelm
Negro Globetrotters by
Youthful Speed, Spirit
SEATTLE, Jan. 14 (P) By
the method of simply ignoring
the vaunted passing and ball
handling skill of the Harlem
Globe Trotters and concentrating
on their own speedy and aggres
sive game the University of
Washington last night overpow
ered the visiting professional
basketball club and won easily,
49 to 30.
A capacity pavilion crowd of
9000 witnessed a triumph of
youthful speed and spirit over
the consumate skill of the negro
team which never could get set
to enact any of its basketball
wizardry.
The game was a benefit affair.
with proceeds above expenses
going to the servicemen's recrea
tional equipment fund.
The first half told the story.
Washington, sparked by Guard
Bill Morris, who got 12 of his
17 points in the first session, ran
up a 23-11 margin by breaking
up the Trotters' fancy passing
game and forcing the negroes to
do most of their shooting from
long . range. The professionals
connected for only three field
goals in the first half. 4 '.
The Huskies pulled away to a
38-13 advantage midway in the
second half and from then on
the Trotters did somewhat better
against the reserves. The game
was played under the profession
al five-foul rule.
Morris, and Hudson of the
Trotters, shared high point hon
ors, with 17.
In a preliminary contest. Fort
Lawton defeated the Whidby Is

Detroit Tigers Finish
Three-Year Stretch for
Farm Club Irregularities'
By WATSON SPOELSTRA
DETROIT, Jan. 14 (TO The
Detroit Tigers finally got out of
Commissioner K. M. Landis' dog
house today after doing a three
year stretch for irregularities in
farm operations. .
That's what the judge culled
it on Jnnuary 14, 1940, when ho
cracked down on the Tigers in n
momentus decision unmatched
by baseball annals that set 90
players free on any strings held
by Detroit.
Furthermore, the whlte-nianod
commissioner fixed a three-year
embargo on Detroit dealings
with a dozen or more minor
league affiliates involved in tho
decision and likewise prohibited
the Tigers from, making any
passes at the emancipated talent.
The time limit was up today.
With Hank Grccnberg and 17
others in the nation's service, the
Tigers could use some rein
forcement, and General Manager
Jack Zcllcr would derive per
sonal , satisfaction from getting
back somo of the 90. But those
still in the game are well sowed
up. ...
"Ninety players. Jus' think of
it," Zeller said longingly. "Why.
that's about three times as many
players as we have available
now. That's practicnlly half a
league of war standards."
Curiously, only two of the 90
Outfielder Roy Cullenbine of
the Cleveland Indians and Pitch
er Lloyd Dietz of tho Pittsburgh
Pirates are currently in the big
show. Several others, notably
Benny McCoy of the Philadel
phia Athletics, are in tho armed
forces.
