BIC TEN RESENT
SPORT PROBE

CHICAGO, March 4.-Rumors
of an impending break between
the Western Conference and the
North Central Association Of Col
leges and Secondary Schools were
current in Big Ten circles today
as resentment mounted over a
North Central probe into confer
ence affairs.
Several members Of the Big Ten
are considering withdrawing
from the association, according
to conference authorities. It was
said that there is a movement
afoot in the Middle Western Con-
ference to fight the issue Of ath-
letic control to a finish.
The association, composed of
virtually every university, college
and secondary school between
the Rocky Mountains and the AL
leghenies, holds the power to reg
ulate administrative and financial
policies and athletics and has the
authority to blacklist institutions
which do not conform to its
standards.
The recent investigation by the
North Central body of athletics
at Northwestern, Ohio State, IL
linois, Chicago, and Minnesota is
believed to have heightened the
friction between the two bodies.
Financed by Carnegie Foun-
dation appropriation, an athletic
committee of the North Central
groups is at present investigating
athletics in the Big Ten, Big Six,
Missouri Valley, Indiana Inter
collegiate and the Buckeye Con-
ferences, according to reports.

The MarylanderS came through
to victory in the final game last
night by beating q powerful Uni
verSity of Kentucky quint, 1927.
The Old Liners were forced to
come from behind within seconds
of the end and snatch victory
from the Kentuckians.
BOzie Berger Is Hero
It was Louis "Bozie" Berger
who changed the games com
plexion by swishing the cords for
two lightning baskets within less
than a minute of the close. Ken
lucky was holding a 27-25 lead
and the game appeared at end.
As IL 3 bolt from . clear sky,
Berger, who had dominated the
play for Maryland throughout
the game, grabbed q pass from
midcOurt. without taking an
other step and without a Sec
Ond's hesitation, he let fly for
the goal, and the ball sailed
through the rims as gracefully
as q bird flying north.
A second later, on the tap-off,
he seized the leather, raced down
the floor, and before the startled
Kentuckians had q chance to
know what was happening, Mr.
Berger had delivered the two
points that gave Maryland the
Southern championship.
Maryland's victory marks the
first time that one Of the major
championships of the Southern
Conference have ever come further
than North Carolina. The Terra
pins have been competing in the
championships for years but only
once before got as far as the
quarter-finals.
Four Difficult Games
The Old Liners were also forced
to survive four difficult contests
in order to finish unbeaten, anC
their total margin of winning
points was nine. They opened
their tournament play by beating
Louisiana State, 1888. Next, they
bumped off North Carolina, 1917

and then eliminated the tourney

match, while Kentucky fell in the

land then ran its total up to five
points before McGinnis scored for,
Kentucky. The game appeared a
walkaway for the Marylanders,
who proceeded to add six more
points, while Kentucky was held
scoreless. The half-time found
the Marylanders winging out in
front by an 1911 margin.
The Kentuckians were not to.

and fought back with grim de-
termination in the closing half.

ball never would come. Once a
season closed I could hardly wait
for the time to start South.
am just as eager now to get down
into the good weather but the
time to start comes before
know it.
Inquire of Condition
Another thing have noticed
this past winter. I was not asked
so much about the number of
home runs I might hit during the
year as I was asked about my
physical condition. That also
is because I am getting older, !
suppose. I have reached what
Is generally considered as old age
in baseball, though a number of
players continued right along in
the game regularly after reach
ing my present age. I celebrated
my thirty-seventh birthday last
month, Cobb, Speaker, Collins
and many others of recent date
were still part of the daily lineup
long after reaching that point.
If / am to judge by the way
/, feel 1 should have no trouble
going through the coming sea-
son and a number of more sea-
sons. Many ball players fade
out gradually and a lot more
fade out as big leaguers almost
overnight.
For the past 6 or 7 years I have
followed a course of training that
carried almost from the close of
one season to the start of the
next. In winters when there was
a lot of snow I was stopped for
a while but when there was little
snow was able to continue the
exercising right through.
Golf Helps Conditioning
I take up golf as soon as the
regular baseball season Is over. l
play as much golf as possible
through the winter. Early in
January I go into a gymnasium,
and for at least five weeks I un-
dergo special treatment which
serves to reduce my weight and
tune up the muscles OF both legs
and body. About a month before
I am to start baseball go South,
usually to st. Petersburg, and stop
at a country club where 1 have
only to step out of the door to be
on a golf curse.
Every day for a month or
more 1 play at least 1S holes Of
golf. Some days 1 play So, and
/ have gone as high as So, but
that might be little too much.
1 play golf right up to the day
I report for baseball.
Many ball players report for
work in the spring without hav,
ing exercised to any extent since
the close of the previous season
I am quite sure that if ! had not
spent so much time each year in
the gymnasium and on the golf
links I would have been out OF
baseball long ago. I never ex'
pected to be able to play so long
but I feel now, at the start of
my seventeenth season as big
Lacquer, just as good as I felt 10
years ago. That was before ]
ever thought of training through
the off-season.
I hope that the coming season
will be as successful as the last
one. I hope to regain the home
run honors which lost last year
to Hack Wilson but, if I can't win
'enn, I hope to give Hack a battle
worth while, anyway. I realize
that I have had more than my
share of batting honors ard do
not want to appear greedy.
simply have the normal ambition
to be up among the leaders as
much as possibly can.
