After the Globe Trotter-All

authorities discovered that they
must pay ten per cent of tho
gross gnts to the Oregon AAU
in Portlnnd. In fact, the high
school office received a tele
gram from Rny Brooks, presi
dent of tho Oregon AAU, de
manding ton per cent or tho
amateur plnyors Involved would
be declared Ineligible.
It seems that the AAU ruling

the tan per cent fee, which
on the faca of the Oregon
president's demand appears to
b 'hush' money to prevent
Ineligibility of players who
might need the opportunity

The Globe Trotter manager
tells us that Oregon is tha
only state where the AAU
; bothers to collect the ten per
cent from small by-tho-wsy

Wa ara taking the stand that

Ineligible that ten per cent
of tho gatn doesn't make him

thing wrong with that AAU
ruling and it should bo changed.

to bother tho Victory league

Etten Holds
First Base
For Yankees
Nick Etten Eighth Player
To Hold Position Slnco
Lou Gehrig Quit In 1939
By AUSTIN BEALMEAR
NKW YOHK, Jan. 23 JP)
When tho New York Yankees

er baseball ponnant April 21, the
man at first base will be Nicho
las Raymond (Nick) Etten the
eighth player to hold down that
position slnco tho lata Lou Geh

17 years on the job.
Dipping Into the National

months to get a capable first
sucker, tho American loague
champions obtained Etten yester
day from the Philadelphia Phils
for two ployers and cash estimat
ed at around $10,000.
Tho Phils, who can use the
cash as woll as tho players, re
ceived First Baseman Ed Levy
and Pitcher Allon Gcttel, who
performed last year with the
Yankees' Kansas City farm In
tho American association.
Etten will fill the gap created
by tho entrance into military
service of Buddy Hassett, who
camo to tho Yanks In December,
1041, from tha Boston Braves.
A power hitter, Etlon batted
.311 for the Phlls'ln 1041 but
slumped to .208 last season. He
is 28 years old, Is married and
has two children, and owns a
3-A draft classification.
Gcttel, a righthander, won 12
games and lost 11 with Kansas
City lost season after a spring
trlol with tho Yanks. Levy, who
had a brief whirl with tho Phils
in 1040, hit .303 for the Blues
after falling to maka the grade
with the Parent club. Both
players are 3-A in the draft.

Looking farther ahead than a
good many folks, Elmer Ripley,
Georgetown basketball coach,
sees a comeback in store for pro
basketball under wartime condi
tions . . . His idea is that the
pros can cash in on the current
popularity of the college game
and the fact that basketball
courts can be put in places where
gas-rationed fans can reach
them. . . . Colleges are turning
out more good players than ever
before, and those boys want a
chance to play," Elmer recently
told the Washington star s Lew
Atchison. ...
There's no doubt about what
kind of basketball the fans like.
You can see for yourself in Mad
ison Square garden, where we
once sat through a pro game
yawning in unison with about
200 other spectators. . . . , But
pro basketball has a long way
to come back. It still survives in
the American and National
leagues and a few "independent"
and traveling teams, but even
in its best days it never was a
big-time or a big-money sport.
