CROWLEY BECOMES
(. FORDHAM j. COACH
Signs for Three Years After
Shifting From Michigan
State-Gets More Pay.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, January flames
M H. Crowley-"Sleepy Jim" of
" Notre Dame fame-has been
appointed head foot ball coach
at Fordham University.
Announcement that Crowley, head
coach at Michigan State for the past
four years, had signed a three-year
contract was made last night by Jack
Coffey, graduate manager OF ath-
letics at Fordham. He succeeds Mai
Frank Cavanaugh, who resigned two
weeks ago.
Coffey declined to reveal salary
terms, but it was understood Crowley
would receive about $1,000 a year,
some $4,000 more than he was paid by
Michigan State.
A STAR in the famous -Four Horse
n men" backheld of the Notre
Dame team of 1924, Crowley's
contract at Michigan State had still
another year to run, but he obtained
his release, effective February 28
He will have free hand in naming
his assistants. His chief aide, 1t was
revealed, will be Glen Carberry, cap
tain of the Notre Dame team Of 1922
and Crowley's assistant at Michigan
State Others will be selected later,
but whether or not Hiker Joy, Cava-
naugh's first lieutenant, would be re-
tanned was not known.
Crowley will find ready-made team
awaiting him when he takes charge
OF the powerful but inexperienced
eleven which lost only two games last
season, only one regular, Joe Zapustas,
will be graduated. The Rams will
tackle formidable schedule with
major games against West Virginia,
Boston College, Alabama, st. Ma1y's of
Oakland, New York University and
Oregon State.
TROWLEY made" the Notre Dame
~ team Of 1922 and was a regular in
1923, but gained his principal
foot ball playing fame as member Of
that great backfeld combination Of
1924 Rounding out that quartet were
Harry Stuhldreher, Elmer Layden and
Don Miller.
After his graduation, Crowley was
signed as an assistant coach at the
University of Georgia and then was
called to Michigan State as head coach
in 1929. In his four-year tenure there.
the Spartans won % games, lost 8 and
tied 8.

But other things happen, too. Oc-
caSionally the boys head for the basket
and forget to stop. That brings them
up to the wall which, refusing to give
way to a bunch of collegiates, tosses
them back to the middle of the floor,
with duly signed certificate of ad-
mittance to any District hospital.
That was the main reason for the
George Washington basket team snub-
bing the Tech floor. The boys were
meeting in crowds at the end of the
baskets. And, at times, they were
meeting the crowds, too.

And the young man who sees that
the Colonials use their roller skates,
no skid chains, and forget their emer-
gency brakes, Is Ted OLeary, all Big
Six forward last year from Kansas
University. Ted sees that the boys are
oiled and creased, and carry out the
Western style of play, which is as breezy
as the breezes around the Windy City
"He's just the fellow the doctor
ordered" says Pixlee. II had two
friends from out on the prairie lands
look him over carefully. He knows
my system. And he Is a good, con-
scientious tutor"
In Coach Sermon, Pix's boys meet
a mentor who comes from the West
and teaches its style. He is former
Missouri tutor. His North Carolina
State seniors are just as fast as the
Colonials and. If it wasn't for the fact
that the bows are playing in the G. W.
gym, I would be afraid that the custo-
mers would have to spend the evening
tossing their chewing gum wads on the
floor to have an occasional view Of the
boys as thev filtered past, ON and.
maybe. out through the wall and down
into the alley.

putting stickun1 on the boards to
stop his team from getting too fast
10hile everybody else is chasing
around sprinkling one another Nth
tobdsco sauce trying to keep some OF

Tonight's score will tell whether Mr..
Pixlee was right in his prescription for
that gym floor or whether it would
have been better for him to have
creased it with ginger, and had the
boys skates honed.

w with bronchial pneumonia in
hospital in New York, talk runs
on as to where, if anywhere, he will
continue his career as football coach.
He has, it is reliably stated, an offer
from a comparatively small college
on the Pacific Coast. It is said, no
definite bid Is in hand.
AS to his ability to swing a coach
ing job, those who know him and
his work are a unit in saying that
he Is qualified to earn his money at
an institution which needs coach.
Major John L. Griffith, athletic
commissioner Of the Western Con-
ference and newly elected president
of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association, speaks quite definitely
on this point.
"Stagg right now" he told me,
sis a better coach than he ever was
and you know that is saying a great
deal. His faculties are as keen as in
youth and his knowledge OF the game
is not exceeded by any coach in the
country. He did a grand Job with

Maj Griffith Has Faith College Athletics 7oians Three
Planned Big Five
ToOffer Example
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, January Awhile
INT now appears the projected
big Five Of the East will not
concern itself with trying to impose
standards of eligibility and athletic
ethics upon other institutions of
their section, there Is no doubt that
1t will stand as an example in these
matters.
Aid at the same time it is likely
to be found that rivals outside the
group which play elevens of the as
sociation will be composed of teams
representing institutions which ap-
proximate quite closely the ideals of
the big Five"-Yale, Harvard,
Princeton, Dartmouth and Cornell.
So in this way line will tacitly
be drawn between colleges which
hold sane views as to athletics, in re-
lation to the essential aims of the
institution of higher learning, and
those that do not.
The influence of this organization
not only upon this section of the
country but nationally, because of
the universities national character,
because of student bodies drawn
from every section Of the nation, will
be incalculable and it would be a
calamity If. having gone thus far,
anything occurred to cause hitch.
