End OF Draft
War In Sight

CHICAGO, Dec. %. U.P)-Action
of the American association in vot-
ing to accept the major leagues
draft plan was believed today to
have made it almost certain that
the Pacific coast and international
leagues will follow suit, ending
warfare between the majors and
minors.
The Pacific coast and interna-
tional league have not announced
whether they also will surrender,
but the loss of the American asso-
ciation's support was regarded as
an important strategic move. The
associations capitulation was the
first break in the battle.
Five of the American associa-
tons eight clubs voted in favor of
yielding to the major league pro-
posal, under which the majors
agree not to draft any player un-
til he has had four years of minor
league experience, and to pay a
minimum price OF $500 for each
player selected. College players
were expected from the four year
rule.
Thomas j. Hickey, president OF
the association, who announced the
vote on the draft Saturday, said
two members of the league voted
against the draft plan. while an
other club had not announced its
attitude.

sive, said McCaslin.

ing for a short time, according to
the chief of police. He pointed out
that officers cannot offer adequate
protection unless they have the CO.
operation OF shoppers and motor

to keep their teams free from pro-

matched against teams having very
different material" The whole
scheme of intercollegiate athletics"
is threatened by abuses he believes.
Perhaps what is needed is an
academic athletic league of nations
to take jurisdiction over this entire
field of endeavor and to preserve
what is excellent while shutting out
what is unbecoming and unworthy"
the educator suggests.
The decline of classical educa :on,
Dr.. Butler says elsewhere in the re-
port, has led to increasing care
lessness of good manners and a
sorry lowering of literary artistic
standards"
He finds scientific study disinte-
grating in the same way because
it is becoming too specialized and
confusing for the average student
who needs it in a liberal education.

COLUMBIA HEAD
WOULD ABOLISH
GATE RECEIPTS

NEW YORK, Dec. %. U.P)-Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler recommend
ed today that gate receipts be abol-
iShed as means of ridding collegl-
ate sports of professionalism and
other evils.
The noted educator and president
of Columbia University simultane-
ously advocated the formation of an
athletic league of nations" which
he believes would put undergraduate
sports on a. higher plane.
DR.. Buffers ideas are advanced in
his annual university report, and he
says that, until something of this
sort is done, Columbia must remain
one of those colleges which pay the
penalty, if penalty it be, of insisting
upon the primacy of intellectual
ideals and intellectual accomplish
ment."
There are some things" he OBJ
serves, more important than gate
receipts
Declaring that the abuses OF in
tercollegiate athletics are many and
various, DR.. Butler lays no small
amount of blame on alumni. In
fact, he is strongly in favor of cali
ing on them to furnish the funds
to finance school athletics.
80 obsessed are many alumni
with a passion for victory at all
costs that they are quite willing to
shut their eyes to very discreditable
happenings which reflect sadly upon
their colleges in way which no
series of victories on the athletic
field can possibly overcome.
ABUSES THREATEN
THE enormous cost of these in
tercollegiate football contests and
the still more enormous revenues
which are derived from them, are
a constant and justifiable source OF
academic as we'll as public criticism" +"

new GOLF BALL
HELPS TO MAKE
LARGER SCORES
BY GEORGE KIRKSET
United Press Staff Correspondent

PASADENA, Dec. %. (UP)-The
new golf ball-bigger and lighter
has the approval OF the 10 proml-
nent players polled today by the
United Press after they had played
with it IN q major tournament.
Although the new ball-1.68 inches
in diameter and l55 ounces IN
weight-does not become official
until January /, it was used in the
Pasadena $4,000 open tournament
which ended Sunday. The old bali
was 1.62 inches in diameter and 1852
ounces in weight.
Despite the fact that scores were
generally higher than was the case
in the same tournament last year
over the identical course. the new
bail was found satisfactory by prac-
tically all the prominent players.
Tony Manero. Little Elmsford, N
Y, professional. won first prize OF
$1,000 with 72-hole total Of 207,
three strokes over par and seven
strokes more than the figure Horton
Smith won with in 1929.
Last year II players shot 290 or
under, whereas this year only four
were within 290. Most of the pro-
fessionals agreed that the sudden
change from the heavier ball to the
lighter one was the main cause OF
the high scores.
Mortie Dutra, Long Beach, Calf, |
finished second with 2S9. followed
by Herman Barrow, Port Chester, /
N. Y. ana Al Espinosa, Chicago. (
who tied for third place. Each /
scored 290.
Tied for fifth place were Ray /
AGangrum. Dallas. Tex; Tommy Ar
nour, Detroit; Frank Walsh. Chi !
cago, and Willie Hunter. Montebel- I
10 Park, Calf. each with 291. /
Only seven times during the tour
rounds Of the tournament was par /
II for IS holes broken with the
new ball. A year ago Horton Smith
broke par for 18 holes twice and |
equalled it or his other two rounds. /
