 Squirt

Dora high basketeers hurled sur prise into local prep basket ball circles Thursday night when they invaded the camp of Simpsons Purple Tornado ana forced the southern champs of season back to take beating, 2S to 27.
 Simpson, defeated but once in three wears by an Alabama high school team, was forced to bow in her first prep encounter, although Dora high is not member of the state association and therefore ineligible for chance at the Alabama crown. :,

The Tornado was leading, 24 to 16, when the half way time came, and seemed bent on victory. However, with their offense failed to continue its fast pace, and the Dora forwards finding the loops with pnerring accuracy, the visitors came from behind and emerged winner by single point.
 | Curdy Byrd, who charge Of the Simpcon team, and Burns, new forward, showed well, while Currie played good offensive game frem a guard position. c. Andrews and Harbour were the big lights of the visitors who rang the | points to score a victory.

Forward Pass In Football Games
 May Be Limited

TAMBRIDGE. Mass, Dec. 1S,- Fred W. Moore. graduate treas
 urer of the Harvard Athletic as sociation and member of the rules committee, said today that he felt the present discussion on the menace of the forward pass" was debatable point that was likely to be brought up for considera tion when the rule makers gather for their annual mid winter season. He said he thought the forward pass was here to stay, but with possible limitations or re- strictions.
 "The aim of the football rules com mittee always has been to keep the game balanced" he said, and if 1t is not felt that the forward pass IS becoming too important factor, over balancing, rushing and kick ing, something .may be done to curb the tendency.
 If it is agreed the forward pass is now too important, then some plan may be reached whereby a penalty could be inflicted for unsuccessful passes"

PICKENS BEATS
 CARROLLTON HI

REFORM, Ala, Dec. 1s.-(special) The lid to the basket ball season was officially smashed off here when the Crimson and White basketball quintet of Pickens marched over the fast Car rollton Cage team by 52 to 1I score on the local floor in a hard, fast and clean fought game.
 From the first tip-off until the final whistle, Pickens county clearly out played the visitors in every department of the game and the contest never was in doubt after the first few seconds ot play, the locals registering points before Carrollton knew what it was all about,
 During the game, Coach Jackson used his entire squad, shooting in the second string five at the middle of the first half and then sending in the third team just before the half was brought to a finish. This undoubtedly held the Pickens score down.
 The Carrollton Cagesters were unable to sink goals after penetrating the five team defense, but by some shots over the defense, they pushed their total score to IF before the final whistle. Good win, Pickens, took off honors as high point man by looping eight field and three foul goals for 19 points. Patter, son and Jones, also of Pickens, ranked second with 12 each. For Carrollton Alenxander counted s points, while Me Gee was accredited with ,.

CHICAGO. Dec 1S-Ban Johnson, nresident of the American league, is not likely to resign despite the startllns manner in which the club owners or his own organization rebuked nm at n meeting here yesterday for his attitude toward Commissioner Landis, and de priyed him of much of the power ne has exercised in organized baseball TOT more than 20 years.
 The American league executive re- mained in seclusion today, but the re- marks of Clark Griffith, president of the Washington club; Thomas $. Shlbe, president of the Philadelphia club; Col. Jacob Ruppert, of the New York Amer jeans. and Connie Mack, manager ot the Athletics, were sufficient to convey the impression that they were still their league chief, and do not want him to resign.
 Griffith. with Shibe and Mack. called at the American league headquarters today. not as q committee, but simply to pay their respects to Johnson. They made themselves clearly understood that thev did not come to ask Johnson to resign. As Johnson failed to put In an appearance at his office and they were unsuccessful in their efforts to see hlm' they conveyed their views to Henry J. Killilea, a Milwaukee attorney ana hie long friend of MT. Johnson.
 "Why Should He?"
 Ban Johnson resign as president oi the American league? Why should ne resign?,' said Mir. Griffith.
 '.Tnere seems to be q mistaken lm- nression about our visit. We were not appointed to call on Mir. Johnson and ask him not to resign; there IS no reason why he should resign.
 "We came to pay our respects to him because we are all with him. In my cninion the baseball world will never see greater baseball figure than he has been.
 "As matter of fact the letter we presented to Commissioner Landls was rassed merely to clear the atmosphere There has been much misunderstanding in baseball and we wanted to clear It up for all time. We all know that argu- ing is harmful to the game, and the only way to stop it is to take the necessary action to stop it.
 ''As far as we are concerned, we stand behind Mir. Johnson the same as we have always stood. When I get back to Washington, I am going to write him telling him just that.
 Griffith, with the other baseball lead CTS, departed for the east tonight. MT. Landis was willing to discuss the wealth CT, golf or any subject except baseball when intereviewers found him.

production of the United States fell
off at least lS.60o,000 pairs in the
