~7ECKINPAUGT is being
IH mentioned as Speakers
IL successor at Cleveland.
This is right and proper. Peck is
always mentioned as the next
manager any time a place is
vacant. AS yet the veteran has
not "hit," but who can tell when
it will happen.
Peck did manage the Yankees
for part of a season some years
ago when Frank Chance resigned.
He was regarded as almost certain
to land the job the next season,
but Miller Higgins was signed.
Then Higgins traded Roger to
Washington. When George Nc
Bride resigned again every one
pointed at Peck. Still it was not
to be. Ownie Bush got the job,
and then it was Stanley Harris.
This winter when st. Louis
Browns needed leader the hot
stove league mentioned the veteran
shortstop as the probabl selection.
Instead Dan Howley was brought
in from the International League
to succeed Sisler.
-.
Now the rumors saw Peck will
go to Cleveland Maybe. Peck
will "hit" before long. But we
won't believe Ii until everything
is settled.

mi HERE Is one thing the Iii
nois ATHLETIC Commission
Ill should NOT do. No mat
ter If the decision in the Walker
Flowers bout was wrong, the
commissioners should not attempt
to change the referees verdict.
Such action would establish a
precedent that would cause all
sorts of future trouble.
It is doubtful If the commission
has right to take any such &C
ton. There has been no question
raised as to the honesty Of Referee
hangers verdict. 1t was merely
a matter Of judgment.
In baseball an umpire is never
Overruled on q question which
does not involve the rules. A
decision based on Judgment is
never reversed.
If the Illinois boxing cars see
fit to go over Yanger's head they
will let themselves in for plenty
of grief. No matter how bad a
beating a boxer gets his manager
always thinks his fighter won. At
least, to hear him talk, one would
think so.
Just let a commission start
the procedure of changing stleCi-
siOns and see what happens. The
manager of every beaten fighter
will be clamoring for a reversal.
1t will be a mess.
The Illinois athletic commission
already has supplanted the New
York body as chief comedy organi
cation of sportland. If it would
continue in it's unheroic role O
laugh-maker let it say Referee Yam
ger was wrong and try to return
Flowers title.
The easiest way, and that, per
haps, is the way the Chicago com
missioners are looking for, would be
to let the whole thing very mucl
alone. We could prepare a state
ment for Chairman Righeimer Which
would be short and to the point anC
would keep his commission out o
much difficulty. 1t would go some
thing like this:
Although Referee hangers
honest decision may have APP
peared Incorrect TO majority,
1t was a matter of Judgment
only. This commission regrets
If any injustice has been done.
but has no authority to change
the verdict of the referee"

Prospects for Strong Club al
Normal SchooI-Three
Veterans Back.
BIZ Tim es Special

BU Times Special
MUNCIE, Ind, Dec. Prospects
for a winning team at the State Nor
NAL School here seem good this year.
Only three veterans remain from
last years squad, however, and the
new men may not hold up under the
strain OF a hard campaign. The
opening game of the season, played
Saturday, was a victory over N. A..
| G.. u. Of Indianapolis.
Coach Parker is building his 1926
q team around the three veterans,
Fulmer and Schroeder, forwards, and
Shumm, back guard The best quin-
tet tried yet seems to consist Of Full
mer and Smith, forwards; Harper at
center, and Schooler and Shumm at
guard.
Fulmer, who ranked fourth among
the college scorers of the State last
season, is hitting the meshes in good
form, and from present indications
will have a big year. His running
mate, Smith. was a reserve last year.
and should be able to handle the
other goal shooting berth well.
Harper at Center
| At the center position Coach Par
ker has Floyd Harper, a rangy boy
from Muncie. He seems to be the
outstanding player among the cen
ter candidates because of his height
and goal shooting ability.
Captain Schooler, who teamed with
| Fulmer at the forward berth last
season, lIas been shifted to the floor
guard position. He is doing well in
| his new position. Alvin Shumm, a
veteran Of three years standing, will
handle the back guard position.
Second String
Among the second string men try
ing for positions there are several
4. promising men. Walter Thurston,
who was a substitute on last years
team, is making a bid for the
back guard position and promises
to give Shumm battle for the place.
Grin Shaw, captain of Normals
team in 1924, is back again and prob
ably will see action in several games.
other members of the varsity who
are showing up well are Renner,
Wilmore, Young, Chapman, Crosley
and Heifner.
The headline attractions scheduled
are the games with Notre Dame here

BY vEDDER GARD

UTE a bit has been said
lately about the point after
Nl touchdown in football. 1t
is almost certain to come up be-
fore the grid rules committee this
winter. No remedy seems in sight
unless the scoring play is done
away with entirely, and that is un-
likely.
The question seems to be: Would
it be better to have a large mum
Der of tie games or to permit
teams with skillful kickers to nose
out the opposition There is much
difference of opinion on the
subject.
In every close game in any
sport there are a number Of little
things that would have turned the
tide and changed the outcome.
Tt seems more than bad luck,
and must be called a weakness,
when a team like University OF
Southern California loses its two
most important games Of the
year by failing TO kick points af-
ter touchdown.
u. s. c.. was defeated by Stan
ford and Notre Dame because it
could not put the pigskin between
the uprights. Two touchdowns.
were scored in each contest and
not ONE extra point was made.
Just one point in each game
would have tied and q perfect per-
Torrance would have won both
contests. The coast team needed
Benny Friedman.
They may sing the blues out
there in Los Angeles and talk
about their hard luck. But we
call 1t something else when a
team bats zero in such an i'm
pOrtant feature of football in hts
two biggest games.
Something may be done about
the point after touchdown by the
rules committee, but to Southern
California it will be like locking
the garage after the auto is stolen.
Those who bet on University
of Southern California last Satur-
day against NOtre Dame only to
have the Irish" come from be-
hind in the final minutes with
two long passes feel just like a
certain Milwaukee, Wis, man,
who is In the hospital recover
ing from scalp wounds caused
when a horseshoe he had at

luck fell off and hit him.
