Independent Net Teams
Urged to Keep Hands Off
Players on College Elves
-Ry VEDDER GARD.

The sooner managers of independent
basketball teams learn that they are
much better of II they let the college
player alone, tine better of the great net
game win be. After n player has given
his wears Of service to his school team
is time enough for him to turn TO indie
pendent pail. The money to be made IN
some instances by college stars is quite
a temptation because usually cash Is far
from plentiful around an institution Of
learning. II really should not be neces-
sary for any college player to have to
managers ought not even think OF offer
ing an inducemet TO a player while that
player is still IN college.
No matter how popular sport is II
can be given a favor which the public
does not relish thai viii eventually cause
its downfall. No such fate Is predicted
for the net game, but a word Of warning
is not amiss right at this time.
The Independent teams throughout the
State should watch their step" for the
game can be dragged down slowly by
INSCRIPTIONS managers. Frequently
temporary gain may mean permanent
loss.
Another thing, all independent players
throughout the State should be careful
In their attitude. "StrOlling players"
who one night may be seen with enc team
and the next night with some other out
fit, are doing the game an injury. Bas-
ket fans want to see five men represent
one team. a team that plays men who
roam all over with different squads loses
its drawing power as a distinct unit.
At present there Il no organization
that controls to any extent the actions
players and teams. 1t Is up TO the indi-
viduals and the various arrangements. A
bit Of timely advice to net teams is this
play the game on the square"

Gopher Athletic Board
Urges Complete Change
in Coaching Department

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 10.-Complete res
organization Of the athletic department
Of the University Of Minnesota was de-
cided upon Friday by the board Of ath1
letic control.
AS its part, the board decided to ter-
inmate the contracts Of all coaches at
the end of the current college year, or
as they expire in the interim, and it rec
commended appointment Of a director OF
athletics.
This action, If approved by the univer4
sity board Of regents, will mark the pass
ing Of DR. H. L. Williams as head foot
ball coach, a place he has held for
twenty-five years. 1t would be possible
to retain him under the proposed direc-
torship system, however.
In the past two years Minnesota has
lost ten Of her twelve BigTen Conference
football games IN the twenty two years
Williams has been at Minnesota the
Gophers have won 112, lost thirty and
tied seven games, with strictly Confer
twenty five lost and five tied. In that
period 1t has a good margin of wins over
its principal rivals, except Michigan,
which has won five and tied one, as
against one victory for Minnesota
According to the new athletic plan, the
director will have complete charge of all
sports and will be subject to order only
from the president of the university.
Many names are mentioned, but they are
all guesses. Indications are that Sig
Harris or Johnny McGovern, both famous
Minnesota stars of the past. will have
charge of football here next fall until a
new director is selected.
Students, alumni, and faculty an
nounced themselves as strongly in favor
Of the athletic boards move, and 1t is
expected that the board of regents. the
final governing power. will accept the
present plans at their meeting next Tues

RING GOSSIP
Australian Tennis
Stars Coming Again
to Try for HOnOrs
Fine Work of Anderson Has
Greatly Encouraged His
COUntrynIen.

NEW YORK, Dec 10.-Australia is
Cup contest This is evident from the
fact that before it's team reached home
from this seasons invasion of the United
States plans were taking shape for the
trip In 1922. The fine performances OF
j. .. Anderson have greatly encour-
aged his cOuntrymen, and they antict-
pate entering a team next season even
stronger than this years representatives.
Writing in the Sydney Referee, Aus
trail" offers the following comment:
u. o. AndersOn's defeat OF William
T. Tilden opens up n fresh vista for the
Australasian team of 1922. 1t brightens
the prospects of the men of the Southern
Cross actually and morally. Lawn ten
mis- leaders will now concentrate on the
great objective, with renewed determine
ton to relieve Uncle Sam of his Davis
Cup.
''Writing last week Of Tilden's mag
nifcent performances during the last
fifteen months, l said that some day G..
l.. Patterson or j. .. Anderson might
defeat him. One little thought that ac-
tually the next day ones surmise would
prove a prophecy. 1t is truly magnif-
cent. We never anticipated, when our
team Of colts went away, that they
would return with such a fine record,
and not one Of us dreamed that any one
of the team would have 'Tilden's scalp
at his belt.
Anderson evidently played his own
game and at his top. As to the strength
Of his strokes. there has never been much
doubt. In 1914, after my trip around
the world, l wrote in this column that
there was not a forehand drive in the
world equal to his. OF course, that of
W. ". Johnston, as we saw II at Auck
land, is superior to anything we ever
saw from Anderson. but his drive on the
forehand must have improved vastly. In
addition, he must have improved out Of
sight all round" After saying that due
allowance should be made for the fact
that Tilden had doubtless ''let down"
after the strain Of his championship
matches and that the importance of An
derson's victory should not be over EN-
phasized, "Austral" continues:
This win has changed the whole as
pect of the next Davis Cup match, If An
derson can manage to go across next
year. That is just the rub. To go two
years running is a big expense for a
young fellow. Probably the difficulty
will be got over, for with Anderson in
such form and Patterson as he should
be. and with Brookes and O'Hara, Wood
and Hawkes. and others to choose from
for the doubles, we should cd close in
deed to even defeating America"

L0udest Takers Against
Frenzied Finance.
AIM AT GOTHAM TEAMS

NEW YORK, Dec 10.-Frenzied finance
of the recent minor league meeting will
do baseball no good, in the opinion of
many of the prominent major leaguers
However, opinion being expressed here
as the majors gather for next week s
meetings is Influenced a great deal by
the size of the clubs cash roll. The
among the loudest protestants of the
prevailing tendency to beat the excess
profits tax by gathering in players for
large OUTLAWS of cash. Some of the other
magnates, without becoming too loud
about 1t, object to a situation which
makes 1t impossible to buy any player
that the Giants or Yankees want for
their roster.
This discomfort may make a big issue
of the draft in the coming meetings and
cause the subject to be brought by Com
missioner Lands before the committee
Of minors in attendance i was clear
at the gathering Of the minors In Buff
falo that the little fellows do not want
the draft.
Trades are still being talked of, the
latest being a move by the Yanks to get
Howard Ehmke and Bob Veach from the
Tigers Cobb is said to be ready to swap
If the Yanks will include Johnny Mitchell
in the deal.
Regarding the reported demand OF
Rogers Hornsby for three-year cons
tract for S75 900, officials of the Cardinals
said that they would not discuss salary
with their batting star until he conferred
with them.
Johnny Evers, 1t was learned today, IS
almost sure to return to the Giants next
season q coach and Cozy Dolan will
go back with Jack Hendricks in In@
dlanapolis.

lobby duty next Monday when the In<

circuit. There have been reports that

Baltimore club, but it Is doubtful if they
would be successful.

Rumors circulating around New York
that Eddie ROush will eventually come

"Our board of directors is unanimous
in its decision not to stand for any more
hOld-0uts- We have traded Groh be
cause we thought it was vastly better for
the team to do so, and this was done only
on the advice and at the urgency Of

further correspondence with him on the
subject"
The Red infield is now set, with Dau-
bert at first; BOhne, at second; Pinelli,
at third, and Caveney, at shOrtstop.
Manager Moran will also retain Louis
