HARDELL PRAISES
TECHS OFFENSIVE
High School Champions End
Season With 27-to-0 Win
From Gonzaga.

Maybe the Tech foot ball team this
year was not as smart and wide awake
as the 1928 team, but 1t had more
offensive strength, the best attack, at
least running attack, Of any Tech team
since I've been at the school,"
That's what Hap Hardell, Tech coach,
thinks OF the rampaging Gray eleven.
70 o, to top OF season during which
1t won the public high school cham
pionship for the third straight year
and otherwise distinguished itself.
With the Tech onZaga game over
the District 1880 foot ball season has
faded into the mists.
BY no means does the 27-0 count tell
the story of the fine battle the ''un-
derdog" Gonzaga eleven put up against
Mckinley. Three times the Purple, ex-
hibiting surprising strength on attack,
both along the ground and through the
air, stormed the Gray goal line, but
was unable to carry through.
Pass Intercepted.
Gonzaga's most serious threat, oddly
enough, paved the way to Tech
touchdown that was the days big thrill.
Opening a dazzling aerial foray in the
third quarter, the Purple swept to the
Gray 3-yard line. Z. Here Dick Nelson
grabbed another pass meant for Con-
zaga receiver and unmolested raced
from one yard behind his own goal
line straight down the right side of the
field to a touchdown. He stepped 101
yards. 1t was the longest run Of the
scholastic season here and the most
stirring. Incidentally, Nelson played
fine game all afternoon to wind up
his high school grid career.
Gonzaga, taking the opening kick
of, achieved Techs Toward line in the
first quarter before being halted. Near
the end of the first half the Purple
got the ball on Techs 10-yard line
when Nelson fumbled Carl Mills fine
punt. Incidentally, Mills and Ernie
Viau were the big shots extensively for
Gonzaga.
Tech displayed its usual strong rush
ing game and for the first time gave
the opposition the works from the air.
In fact aside from Nelson's marker, all
the Gray's touchdowns came on passes.
Nelson passed to Meikeljohn for two of
them and to Hatos, who also played un-
usually well, for the other.

BASE BALL BATTLE
GOES TO NEW YORK
Lower Leagues Are Ready
to Settle Issue When
Majors Meet.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

M ONTREAL, December g.
M Minor league base ball
1VI clans were headed today
toward New York and the
joint meeting of the National and
American Leagues.
Some of them hoped to dispose Of
ball players they could not sell at the
twenty-ninth annual convention of the
National Association of Professional
Base Ball Leagues. Others were di-
rectly interested in a settlement of the
troublesome draft question and hoped
that solution could be found at New
York during the major league meetings.
It was understood that an informal
conference between the majors and the
minors would be held Monday at New
York on the draft question. The three
non-draft Class IA leagues-the Amer
lean Association, international and Pa
cific Coast Leagues-already have ap-
pointed standing committee of nine
majors evince a desire for further ne
gotiations. The other classifications-
A, B, @ and D leagueS-also were I'M
derstood to have named representatives,
and all are expected to be in New York
next week.
Look for Compromise.
Just who would represent the majors
could not be learned. In fact, there
was no definite assurance that any
formal invitation to a conference had
been issued. It appeared rather that
major league club owners here to at
tend the national association sessions
merely had indicated that war be-
tween the majors and the non-draft
minors was not to be desired, espe-
cially at this time, and that further
conference between the opposing groups
might develop compromise.
That settlement was near was the
consensus among the minor league ON
Gals. The non-draft leagues apparently
provided the draft price is fixed at
around $4,000, provided that the
minors are permitted to retain q player
for two or three years before he becomes
eligible for the draft, and provided that
the majors agree to abandon their pol
icy of signing players from the colleges
and the sandlotS, the two sources from
which the small minors used to be able
to pick. up their playing talent at a
reasonable price.
High Prices Hit Minors.
It Is the high prices that must be
paid for such players now that has
caused the minors financial troubles,
In the opinion of some club owners.
There was no real hope that the
minors would be able to gain all the
points in their program, but it was
thought It would form the basis upon
which compromise could be effected.

The indIvidual standing:

ONE Of the rules of this tournament
~ was that no game should be adj
jouyned and that after four hours
play the unfinished games were to be
adjudicated. Strange to say. but 2 Of
the % games played in this tourney
were adjudicated. the remainder being
finished within the prescribed time
Another thing, nearly all of the games
were opened with P-Q4 or irregular
variations thereof There is often call
for the old style of openings, which
were largely gambits, where one party
gives away pawn or other material
for supposed advantage. 1t was found
that these gambits were dangerous and
were Therefore dropped. The present
style of openings makes for more origi-
nality Of play. Book" knowledge is of
little benefit and more reliance must be
placed on natural chess ability.
NEXT February the tournament for

ured 70 per cent (the handicap) of II

Genoa won by 3 pins.
Genoa totaled 555 in the final game
and Marquette SAT, which if IA pins
handicap were added, would have won
by pins. AS matter of fact. the
proper allowance of 8 pins tied the
teams at SIS. The final count was one
each for Genoa and Marquette and one

- RASSLANDS DOWNS, Tenn,
4 December 6.-Sportsmen Of two

witness the inaugural running
this afternoon Of the Grasslands Inter-

and purse of $1,000 added. The event
marked the first attempt in America to
conduct Steeplechase under similar
conditions as the Grand National over
the famous Aintree course In England.
Spills Threatened.
After an all-day drizzle, the rolling
Tennessee bluegrass country presented
what Eric w. L. Atterbury, gentleman
rider from England, described as ".treach-
erous roofing" going to the fences. This
increased the possibility of spills.
Atterbury, who crossed from Britain
to ride KilbairM, rated as an outstanding
jumper, was not certain that his mount
would start. The brown gelding. VIC
torious in, IA events, has been coughing.
and Atterbury cabled the owner. Mrs. a.
Alexander Brown, at Ethan. Kent, for
advice about competing. Kilbairn fin-
ished ninth in the Grand National last
year.
An attack Of collie forced the With
drawal Of Inverness. owned by Stephen
Sanford Of New York, reducing the field
to 10.

Ing record In the East, was highly re-
garded and promised to rule the favorite
