Herb Dana and Horace Gillette, well known Pacific coast conference referees, reveal that they are un- able to recall an instance where a team was penalized for flying blocks or flying tackles under the new 1882 rules.
 Gillette believes the rule either will be taken out of the books or tactitly dropped.
 The same experience with the new rules is reported from the east, south and Big Ten, where this operative saw several flying blocks and tackles, but witnessed no pen- alties and no harm done.
 That Isn't Hay
 Operative Henry Martinez or New orleans sends along word that the daily play at Jefferson park has grown from about $15,000 daily the first week of the winter meet ing to $50,000, and promises more improvement.
 Encouraged officials of the Cres- cent City Jockey sub, which has taken over the interest of Kunnel Bradley in the fair grounds, expect that this years mutual handle Will be better that that of last season. The fair grounds will open Jan 23 with $1500 inaugural handicap, and the meeting will be in full blast when the folks gather to ob- serve Mardi Gras festivities.
 Just Like the Man
 Georgia operatives recall story that dates back to 1880 when Joe Mccarthy was released as mana- ger of the Cubs. Uncle Wilbert Robinson, now wintering in Geor- gia, was manager of the Brookln Baiminess Boys then. and he went to tho front office with Q request that Mccarthy be hired to direct Brooklyn. .e.
 "McCarthy's the greatest mana: ger in business today" Robbie said them, land please do not let him get out of the Netional league. He can have my job"
 Robbie's contract still had pear to dun,, but he pointed out that he was willing to work 1t aut scouting up ball players for Mccarthy. But they wouldn't listen.
 Short Ones:
 Del Bissonette, Brooklyn first sacker, has survived dozen opera tions, more of less. .and may find another cut when ne gets ms contract for 1933. The Phils have come up with ball player named Clarence Pickerel. the poor fish. the Cards now have four sou'paws. Haliihan. Walker. Mooney and Carroll. which sounds like enough to keep the team in the second division for at least a year.
 Since the baseball season closed Burieigh Grimes has been divorced from his appendix. but IS hang ing onto his spitbaii. The dumb- CT you are the more bets you can win on football. this operative laid 1t on the line for U. s. C.. to beat Notre Dame... and now be- lieves Pitt will jar the Trojans.

"Gyp" Golf Balls
 Thing of Past

Although the average golfer Is probably not aware of it, "gyp" ball manufacturers in 1892 reapcd a handsome harvest at his expense,
 To prevent this practice in 1893 the bali manufacturers. nt their annual meeting this winter, set certain standards and specifications for the ball to be used in 1883. ..
 One of thes, of interest to all golfers, will be the classification Of all balls according to certain rec ognized standards.
 The grade of the ball will be de- termined by the size of the plastic center, the size of the core and the quality and quantity of the thread rubber. Manufacturers will CO., operate to see that standardizlng practices are maintained so that 'gyp" or inferior balls will be un- able to pass muster as good grade of ball.
 Thls does not, of course. mean that low priced balls will not be on the market since 1t Is the pur- pose of the manufacturers to place all varieties of balls on the market at varying prices. But all balls will be lebeied and the golfer will know when making his purchase that the product is of the quality rep presented.

This young Hoosier who gailoped to fame with Stuhldreher. Layden and Miller, will be the first coach to equip a major New York team with the Rockne system of attack.
 With Rams in Spring
 He succeeds Major Frank W. Cavanaugl1, who resigned on Dec 19 because of i'll health after six years with Fordham. Crowley's resignation at the Michigan agri- cultural school will become effec- tive Feb 28, and he will take charge of the Rams for spring training. Glenn Carberry, Notre Dame cap-s tain in 1922, will be one of his as- sistants.
 In announcing Crowley's con- tract, John F. Coffey, Fordham's graduate manager of athletics. in- timated that the Rams with their great man-power, had been ex- tremely anxious to get Crowley and the South Bend system. Coffey emphasized that he had negoti- ated with no one else" despite many reports to the contrary.
 Coffey declined to discuss sal- aries, but 1t is understood Sleepy Jim will receive $11,000. an in crease of s3.000 ovre his Michi- gan State contract.
 Rolled Along
 Crowley went to Michigan State three years ago from the University of Georgia, where he had served as backfield coach since he left Notre Dame in 1925. At Michigan State he established himself as a front ranker among the scores of South Bend graduate coaches. Last sea- son his team was beaten only by Michigan, Big Ten champion.

 SAYS BABE OF
 SALARY SLASH
League Owners May Per- suade Ruppert to Cut the HOnle-Run King SlO,OOO

New York, Jan 4.-UP)-Re- ports that Babe Ruth's robust sal ary will receive drastic pairing shortly came several weeks earlier than usual this season.
 One baseball writer leraned from Ian authoritative source" that George Herman Ruth would be reduced $25,000; that the vet eran slugger would receive Q meagre $50,000 instead of last years presidential $75,000.
 Consensus among the experts was that the Babe may take q $10,000 slash. Left to his own dictates, it's quite likely that Col Jake Ruppert would not be too severe with Ruth. But it's under stood that other magnates see in Babes huge salary n barrier to re- auctions in their own clubs.
 Ruppert denied point-blank that he had decided to cut $25, 900 off the Bambino's salary. "In fact, l haven't even considered any con- tracts yet" he explained.
 The Babe growled that 1t sound- ed "like a lot of bunk.

LEO LARRIVEE AND RUDY MARSHALL TO. MEET THIRD TIME.
State Rivals, Both Heavier in Stamford Next Week --Vignaii Also on PrO- gram

Stamford, Jan 4--Featuring Ru- dy Marshall of this city, New England middleweight champion, and Larrivee of Waterbury, in a 10-round star bout, Matchmaker Al Caroly will present a thrilling battle bill at Columbus hall on Tuesday night, Jan 10.
 Marshall, who has been going great guns of late, will be in there with the express intention of get ting revenge for two previous de- feats at the busy fists of the Brass City Frenchman. The last time that Larrivee decisioned the colored flash occurred some two years ago and Marshall has improved quite a bit since that time. The bout will mark Larrivee's return to the ring after a rest that appears to have done him a world of good.
 Busy Boxer
 Marshall has been fighting quite TCk aL ShO W Plains, N. Y, where three weeks ago he handed Eddie (Kid) Wha- len severe beating. Rudy also recently defeated Charley Grad er) Horn in the same ring and has the White Plains fight swearing by him.
 In their two previous meetings Larrivee outpointed Willie Con nors' ebony battle, but the Cos Cob manager of the champion is only refecting the confidence felt by his boy when he states that Marshall will beat the Waterbury boy 50 decisively on Jan 10 as to leave no room for doubt.
 Matchmaker Caroly is busy pre- pairing the remainder of his battle bill, details of which are to be announced within day or so, Joe Vignali of Waterbury Is also expected to be on the card.

 Bowling Notes

The "Collar-Ads" boys represent ing the office had an easy night against the four man team who toss machinery around otherwise known as the 900 bldg. Big Jack Raymor, dapper anchor man for the 800 bldg was missing due to an injured right shoulder which makes bowling impossible for him, but the office team showed some very good bowling which if they were opposed by five men would have won just the same, Jumping John Shaw had his body english working to perfection, rolling 128, i20. 100, which shows his caliber as anchor man, Captain Harry Cottrell's 1SS helped the office to run up a 555 game in the first stanza. The team scores were of- flee 555, SAG, 4s6; 800 Bldg: 51o, 469, 464.
 What . golden opportunity the Rod and Roll team had last week as the Tube Mill were having ono of those nights, but the Rod and Roll were experiencing a similar and more abstrusc night, rolling only one string of the fifteen over the century mark. Meanwhile tho ATubcrs were pinning out enough pins to insure q three game vlc. tory, and incidcntly the champion ship of tho first half.
