What seems to be bothering tlio
college football coaches, who
have been indulging in "remark
ably frank" talk the past couple
of days, is not so much that the
rules committee won't rule as the
fact that the men most vitally nv
crested in football the coaches
are beiiic consistently ignored
; . . As one of them pointed out
yesterday, they have only a
minority representation on the
rules committee, and they aren't
even permitted to choose the
men who represent them. . . For
example, Lou Little, nead ruies
Jnan for the Coaches association,
isn't on the committee but an old
stand-by is Dana X. Bible, who
didn't come here for the meet
ing although a number of others
from the soutnwesi maae me
trip.
LIGHT LEXICON
Clarifying the pronunciation
of a few National league names,
tub-thumper Bill Brandt reports
that Walker Ockey, the Giants'
rookie pitcher, is pronounced
like a cockney's name for a game
they play on skates. . , . The
Reds' walloper from Walla Walla
(that's not bad, either), Tony
Criscola, is pronounced like a
new soft drink invented by San
ta Claus.
.' A ROOKIE A DAY
Eddie Basinski, Dodgers' sec
ond baseman: Before Leo Dur
ocher tossed Basinski, a shortstop
fresh out of Buffalo university,
into the Dodgers' second base
gap, Brooklyn had made 14
double plays; in 10 days Eddie
has figured in 11 twin killings
and has hit around .400 . . . .
Basinski wanted to be a violinist
but his father persuaded him to
study engineering; in high
school he played tennis, but
while he was completing a four
year college course in three
years, he managed to play
enough baseball to draw a $1500
bonus offer from Branch Rickey.
Out-of-Bounds
Kickoff Kicked
Out by Coaches
NEW YORK, May 30 (IP) The
intentional out-of-bounds kickoff,
which irked countless football
spectators last fall, was inten
tionally kicked out-of-bounds by
rirst meeting of the college t oot
ball Coaches association.
The mentors, completing a two-
day session late yesterday, voted
unanimously against the off-the-field
boot and sent recommenda
tions to LL Col. William Bing
ham of Harvard, that his NCAA
rules committee meet as soon as
possible to make two changes
in the playing code.
- The first suggestion would put
tne Dan in piay, louowing an
out-of-bounds kickoff on the re
ceiving team's 45-yard line in
stead of the 35 and would allow
the kicker the use of an artificial
tee.
Unrestricted forward . passing
behind the line of scrimmage
was the second suggestion. Un
der the present rules, the passer
must be five yards behind the
line.
- The unrestricted passing rule
is a part of the National Football
league s rule book... .
ANGOTT READY

New York for his June 6 bout

in Philadelphia. He and his
manager, Charley Jones, will go

Pitts Rate
National E
For Effort
Undermanned Pirates Use
Every .Pitcher Available
In Moving Into 2nd Place
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Frankie Frisch and his seven
man Pittsburgh pitching staff
may not win the National league
pennant but they rate a large
"E" for effort at this stage of
the season.
By winning nine of their last
11 starts, the under-manned
Pirate crew has moved to within
three games of the leading St.
Louis Cardinals, taking second
place away from Cincinnati.
Only five starters have gone
the route in the streak starting
May 17, but everybody, includ
ing Rip Sewell, is eligible for
relief duty when Frisch scans
the dugout
The Pirates' latest was a good
example of the way the staff
has been operating; Frisch had
to toss three hurlers into the
game before they pulled out a
3-2 triumph in 11 innings last
night at Philadelphia. Tommy
O'Brien's triple, followed by
Babe Dahlgren's outfield fly,
won the game for Xavier Res
cigno, who came on in the 10th.
Rescigno pitched Thursday and
Friday, and is likely to start or
relieve today.
Whit Wyatt's failure to round
into winning form continued to
prove disastrous to Brooklyn
when the ace righthander was
belted off the hill before the
second inning was over in Cin
cinnati's 13-4 slaughter of the
flatbush flock. Dixie Walker
homered with a man on, but
even his .438 batting average
couldn't help Wyatt and his suc
cessor as Bucky Walters hung
up No. 8 in the win column.
Mel Ott and Danny Gardella
smashed homers to help the New
York Giants square their series
with St. Louis on a 6-4 verdict,
with the help of some neat re
lief hurling by Ace Adams. Bos
ton and Chicago were not sched
uled in the National.
Boston's Red Sox flattened
Chicago to sweep all three games
as Tex Hughson handcuffed the
White Sox with eight singles for
a 3-1 edge.
Bob Muncnef finally over
came his New York Yankee
jinx after three years and six
failures as he beat the world
champs for St. Louis, 11-3. The
Brownies, moved back into sec?
ond place, 21 games behind the
Yanks on the victory.
Even five Detroit errors
weren't enough to overcome the
five hit pitching of Johnny Cor
sica as Detroit shpved Washing
ton into third on a 2-1 trumph.
Dick Siebert's homer sparked
Philadelphia to a 94 edge over
Cleveland and on two big four
run innings.

Paavo Doesn't
Want to Lose
Wagner Match
Paavo Katonen will exert
every known wile of wrestling
on George Wagner this Friday
when the two are rcmatched in
the armory, for Paavo doesn't
want to lose this match and
then be forced to put up his
belt in another conflict.
Such is the agreement, how
ever. Paavo claimed he was
"robbed" in last week's match
which he lost to Wagner. Ho
asked for a rematch and prom
ised to put up his belt in an
other struggle if he lost. Wag
ner agreed; so the boys are all
set for this Friday's battle.
Wagner's reputation has gone
up by leaps and bounds since
his defeat two weeks ago of
Pete Belcastro, and last week's
victory over Katonen. Belcas
tro is still on the "retired" list
after Wagner's attention to his
back muscles.
The card will open with Herb
Parks battling Buck Davidson,
and the semi-windup match will
be between Billy Konke, a Ca
nadian newcomer to the local
ring, and Buck Lipscomb.

Amorig the features at the Boy
Scout Camporee last weekend
were three competitive events
based on skill in fire building
and in cooking. The first event,
"fire-building and water boiling"
required each patrol to build a
fire and bring a can of water to
a boiling point so that the soap
flakes in the water would foam
over the top of the can. The
Tiger patrol of troop 2, Alto
mont, won this event. Another
fire building event requiring the
fire builders to build a fire suf
ficiently high to burn a string
at 22 inches height, was won by
the Panther patrol of troop 9,
Pelican Bay.
The cooking event, flapjack
flipping, required the Scouts to
prepare two hotcakes from the
dry flour stage to the finished
product with due regard for pal
atability as well as speed. Scouts
were required to flip their flap
jacks rather than to turn them
with a turner. The Wolf patrol
of troop 8, Altamont won the
event.
On Saturday evening another
Scouting skill event was won by
the Lion patrol of troop 44, Tule
lake. This was the Scout pace
race in which 200 Scouts partici
pated. The object of the contest
was to pace a mile in exactly
12 minutes no more, no less.
A Scout from the Lion patrol
crossed the finish line (unknown
to him at the time) in exactly
12 minutes and no seconds.
