T OS ANGELES, Dec. 12.-The
IL football rules committee
should take up the matter of a
player losing his pants during a
game and prescribe some course of
procedure.
Nicholas P. Lukats, very fine
Notre Dame half back, was parted
from his during the Southern Cali
fornia contest Saturday and while
the spectators enjoyed it, the Incl
dent proved highly embarrassing to
him.
He started around end but Bob
Erskine and Ray Sparkling, Southern
California tacklers, grabbed his
trousers when they couldn't grab
him.
Lukats had Travelled about four

realized his predicament was seri-
Gus.
Obviously, he reasoned to himself,
one really couldn't go running
around trouserless before 100000
people. He felt certain Emily Post
wouldn't approve. Besides, he re-
membered, his knees, while service
able enough, were a bit knobby.
He had read the rule book thor
oughly at the instance of Coach
Hunk Anderson but he couldn't re-
call any rule to apply here.
He looked hopefully at Erskine
end at Sparkling, but their steely
eyes indicated Trey intended to hold
tight. He began thinking of choice
names to call players who would
even steal a mans pants to keep
him away from the goal line.
Just then he got a glimpse of his

Yanks Seek
Mats Star
Champions Offer Chapman
to Senators for
ManuSh.
BY HENRY SUPER
United Press Sfaff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The VIM
ter's first snowstorm brought with it
baseball trade winds that promise
to howl and whistle about New York
during the American and National
League annual meetings.
The one-oay meeting of the Ma
tional League doesn't open until
Tuesday, but rumors already are
flying. Some of them are that the
Yankees will trade Ben Chapman
for Heinie ManuSh; the Giants will
swap Hughie Critz for a shortstop,
and that the Brooklyn Dodgers are
willing to trade anybody if the deal
strengthens their lineup.
Many Financial Problems
Despite the unprecedented num-
Der of trades expected, the sixteen
baseball club representatives gath
cred here are more interested in
financial problems. Both leagues are
convinced that a drastic cut in OPP
Grating expenses is necessary.
Topics that will come up for
plenty of discussion at the National
League gathering Tuesday, the
American Wednesday and at the
joint meeting Thursday are:
I. Radio brOadcasting.
2. Decrease in players salaries.
3. Shortening Of training season.
IL, h.. lie
5. Cooperative trading with an aim at
strengthening the weak clubs and thus
produce more sDirited pennant races
6. Reduced admission prices.
The magnates are expected to
propose that the player limit be cut.
Last year it was reduced from
twenty-five to twenty-three players.
1t is believed the maximum will be
reduced to twenty-five.
Urge Cooperative Trading
Some clubs favor mandatory re-
duction of players salaries. Others.
particularly the eastern teams. be-
lieve the question of salaries should
be left to each individual organiza-
ton.
More cooperative trading will be
urged to strengthen the weak
sisters" and produce a closer pen
nant race.
Another proposal expected Thurs
day is one calling for a discard of
the method in buying tickets for
the world series in sets of three.
With the Yankees as leaders, this
move is expected to win, because
this years series fell short of a SELL
out in New York.
