Further Move In
Athletic Dispute
Is Up to Big Ten
Conference Chiefs Prepare to
Proceed With Their Spe-
cial Conference

Chicago, March 20.-F-1t's the
Big Tens next move in its friendly
dispute" with the North Central As
ISOLATION and Secondary Schools over
athletic sovereignty.
Failing to make satisfactory head
way Thursday on the associations
convention floor, Big Ten chiefs FRI
day planned to proceed with their
special conference in Chicago April
18 to determine just what attitude
the conference should take.
The dispute nj precipitated sew
eral weeks ago when several investi-
gators came to Northwestern univer-
sity and asked the University to CO.
operate with them in an athletic sur
vey at that institution. Northwestern
officials. including President Walter
Dill Scott, refused to lend such CO.
operation and asked the North Gen.
trail group by what right 1t had to
make investigation OF q Big Ten
school.
At the North Central convention
Thursday, two presidents OF Big Ten
schools, President Scott and Presi-
dent Edward G. Elliott Of Purdue, de-
Tended the conference and challenged
the right Of the North Central associ-
alton to NEEDLE With the conferences

seemed peaceful and the matter
about to be forgotten, President Eli
oft moved the convention strip it's
board Of review Of power to act in the
Northwestern case. A lively debate
resulted between President Elliott and
George v. Zook, president Of Akron

rejected.
Although the board Of review.

thrash out the dispute, the fact that

Lively Ball Is
League Myth
American Circuit President Be-
Iieves New Regulations VII.
Aid Major Clubs

Pensacola, Fla, March 20-R-The
so-called lively ball is a myth, the
new rule governing sacrifice flies will
bring batting averages down to where
they should be, and the new regula-
ton forbidding signing Of sand lot
ball players by the majors will help
both the major and minor leagues. IN
the opinion Of E. s. Barnard, presl-
dent of the American league.
THE new ball in my opinion, Will
have little effect on the players
averages" MI. Barnard said as he ar
rived here to watch the Boston Red
Sox in spring training.
In face we were not even going to
say anything about a change and per.
NIT the players and public to dis
cover the difference, If any, them
selves. However, the National league
announced the new ball at its meet
ing.
1.-THE size. and weight are the same,
the only difference being that larger
thread is used and the seams are
therefore higher. This probably will
permit the curve ball pitchers to get
q better grip on the sphere, but no
body expects any difference In the
style Of play.
"As q matter of fact, change in
batting stances and styles Of bats
made the going harder for pitchers.
Twenty-Five years ago bats were rac-
tically alike. Then Bah Ruth began
his clouting and the glorification OF
sluggers commenced"
Speaking Of the prospects TOR the
coming American league season, MI.
Barnard said he had visited quite q
few clubs and followed the fortunes
Of others.
II fail to see where the Athletics,
Yankees and Washington, have I'M
proved. They haven't added any tai
ent.
1.-THE lower clubs have strengthened
considerably. Cleveland has added
several good pitchers. Detroit has a
well balanced hurting staff. The
White Sox have improved greatly and
the same goes for the st. Louis
Browns.
Il looked over the Red 6ox today
! and Bob Quinn has assembled q team
with great possibilities"

Bison Strength Worries Phantoms|
Aggie CUNT Uses Stall : and
Break Attack; Have Defense
Similar to Demons

Information concerning the rela-
tive strength OF Coach Leonard Saal-
waechter's Bison. who will invade
Bismarck for their clash with the Bis
marck Phantoms in the Memorial
building, has caused no little worry
in the Phantom camp.
According to reports, the most
feared cagers In the Yellow and Green
lineup are the five usual starters: Leo
May, George Fairhead, Donald
Arthur, Wally Olson and Wv Mckay.
OF these players, May has played
three years for the Bison, Olson has
had two years experience teamed
with May while Arthur and Mckay
are sophomores on the team. Arthur
is q former Mandan high school cage
star and Mckay played with the state
championship Valley City team in
1929.
Captain May, outstanding Of all
Bison players, performs at center.
Standing slightly over six feet, he
usually gets the tip-off. His great
speciality is folow-in shots.
Fairhead Is Marksman
George Fairhead Is the marksman
Of the Aggie quint. BY far the best
shot, he must be covered from the
foul line il he is to be kept from the
scoring column.
Donald Arthur Is the ~cleverest ball
handler of the Bison. He is the key
floor man in the A. c. attack. A fair
shot, he rarely tries for a basket from
beyond the foul circle.
Mckay is the best defensive player
OF the two guards. He brings the
ball up the floor on offense, and after
passing, drives beneath the net for
close set-up shots.
Olson, q cousin Of "Acy" Olson,
woodworking Fargo high school
guard, is the defensive rallying cog Of
the Bison. His duty Is to get the re-
bound from opponents tries.
OF the Bison reserves, Mcdonald is
undoubtedly the best, according to
rumors in the Phantom camp. Fol-
lowing close on the heels of McDon-
aid Is the six-foot six-inch Weir. He
Is considered to be the most danger
ous center In the North Central con-
ference. Leo Thomasson and Gus
Schwartz. former Bismarck high
school player. complete the first nine
Of the Bison lineup. Schwartz Is a
big fast player and plays equally well
at all positions on the court.
Bison Have Stamina
Nordstrom, regular guard, still Is
suffering from a bad leg injury and
may not be able to get into the game.
The Bison squad IS characterized
by amazing stamina and plays a stub
born, bulldog type of game. They
are in the habit Of making final
quarter rallies.
Coach Saalwaechter's cagers en-
p1oy a stall and break attack, using
short, hard passes to get under the
net. Offensive players, with the ex-
ception of Mckay, rarely shoot from
the foul circle, unless they are unable
to break fast enough to get the ball
through their opponents defense.
The majority Of Bison are extremely
accurate with one-handed losses.
The Bison Isl a shifting zone-type
of defense that is almost identical
with that employed by Coach George
Badly Hays Bismarck high school
squad.

Yankee Club Has
Old Batting Eye
Mccarthy Expects New Base
ball Regulations Wilt
Assist Game

st. Petersburg, Fla, March O.-R
in common with most Of the other
major league ball clubs, the New York
Yankees are not interested In the
movement to apply the brakes to the
steam roller power plus type Of
games.
"Marse Joe" McCarthy's men are
smuggling the new ball with old-fash-
toned vehemence and results. Marse
Joe expects them to flatten as much
Of the opposition as possible with base
hits, while he is tinkering with the
pitching machinery to make it work.
Babe Ruth, down to playing weight
now, is intent not only upon regain
ing the home run leadership he lost
to Hack Wilson In 1890 but in crack
ing his own major league record OF
60 circuit clouts.
New Regulations May Help
The new ball and the new sacrifice
fly rule may, over the seasons stretch,
cut down batting averages but power,
Mccarthy believes, still will play q
dominating part. Marse Joe. having
managed the National Leagues mon
arch Of maui, Wilson, with good re-
suits, expects to bear down In new
surroundings with the clouting cast
headed by Ruth and including Geh-
rig, Lazzeri, Combs, Dickey and
others.
Defensive baseball, whether it is In
the box or In the field, continues to
be an important factor in the success
Of any club" remarked Mccarthy
but cal you show me any club In
either league that is not trying to get
more punch In its attack? The fell
lows coming up for the first time still
are swinging from the heels and you
don't see any Of these old-timers try
ing to become choke-hitters. Maybe
we have had too much freak smuggling
Maybe the ball has been too lively fol
the good Of the game but I think the
majority Of fans still like to see mer
like Ruth and Gehrig and Wilson
give the ball q long ride.
To FORGET Injury Jinx
1.-THE trouble with the main cogs Of
the Yankee attack in recent seasons
has been the tendency Of one or more
to have al off-year, due to injurie,
or q slump" Ruth and Combs skid
ded in 1928. Lou Gehrig had q bad
season in 1929 and Tony Lazzeri fell
off 81 points last year to a mere 80;
at bat.
If this big four can hit the high
spots this season, the team will have
few, II any hitting worries. Lazzerl
has been working hard and appears
In splendid condition. Ruth's health
