If Pixlee were forced to meet

would have four complete teams
with which to gamble. There
is another team of slush mate
rial which he could also press
into action, so what he lacks in
stars he more than makes up
for in reserve strength.
Sidney Kolker, ex-Tech High

standing local boy on the squad.
Pixlee goes so far as to say
Kolker is one of the finest em.
bryo tackles he has ever had
under his wing. He says Kolker
can rate an All-American berth
in two years. He is a sopho-
more.
The other local boy on the
varsity squad is Phil Kline.

His father refused to allow him
to play football at the Ithaca

G. w. to see. that he didn't.

his opposition and Phil is now

PROVE FACT
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
Your Uncle Clark Griffith has
pulled off many a trade in his
long and varied career as a major
league owner and in several in.
stances, sad to relate, he's been
sorry.
But he's been the sort Of guy
who has always been willing to
admit his mistakes. And better
than this, he's made amends
plenty in later trades by not only
pulling off bigger and more profit
able David Haruns." but getting
back the players he cast adrift.
The prexy now has three per-
formers under his employ, who at
one time or another we're traded
to certain clubs, only to be
brought back again.
Player No. in this connection
is Buddy Myer, scrappy little Sec
ond sacker. Players Nos. 2 and 3
are Gen. Alvin .Crowder, veteran
pitcher, and Goose Goslin, slug
ging right fielder.
WycE SLdES HI 30
The case Of Buddy Myer is prob.
ably the greatest on record.
Buddy was the coming star Of
the majors when he first arrived
in 1925, but shortly after the 1925
season something happened to his
play and he was traded to the
Boston Red SoX for Topper Rig
ney, shortstop of that club.
The deal looked like good
one at first as Rigney was q
player par excellence at the time
while Myer was just in the un.
certain class.
However, all this proved wrong
a little later on as Rigney turned
out to be a flop while Myer went
on to star for the Red SoX. Now
what did Mr.. Griffith do about
this? Nothing else but trade five
players to the Red Sox for Myers
services again, which services he's
been getting from Buddy ever
since the deal was made back
in the season of 1929.
CroWder'S case is almost as in"
teresting. Griff traded this pitcher
to the st. Louis Browns for Old
Tom Zachary several years ago
because at the time he figured
Zachary would be more Of a help
to his club than Crowder. Old
Tom was the help expected then.
but soon after he was released,
while Crowder, in the meantime.
went on to become the best pitcher
Of the st. Louis club.
Star Ever Since
Immediately Griff put in bids
for "the generals" services again.
He got him all right, even though
he had to give up Goose Goslin
to compile e the deal, which also
had Heine Manush involved. And
ever since Crowder has been star
ring for the Griffs.
Now, the case Of Goose Goslin
is the latest. Gr1ff put it in his
mind to get the "Salem Slugger"
back with the Griffmen when he
hoped up to New York last win
ter to attend the annual baseball
meetings. He realized that he
shouldn't have let the veteran go
in 1880, but at the time it was
the only alternative, as Manush
and Crowder were needed by the
Griffs terribly during that cam.
paign.
Well, anyway he let him go.
and events we're what they were
until the baseball meetings rolled
around last December. Presto, a
trade and the good old Goose
was back in Washington livery
as lively a Goose as there ever
was.
And so you have a bit Of his
tory, lads, Of how your Uncle
Clark Griffith goes after his
players after he's realized he
shouldn't have let 'em drift away
in the first place. Some guy.
this Mr.. Griffith, as all Of us
must agree, eh?

To remedy the topsy-turvy east

form an eastern intercollegiate foot
ball conference, similar to the mid
vests Big Ten. 1t is understood
alumni organizations of other east
ern schools already have been
sounded out favorably.
AS a preliminary step, proposal
will be offered tonight that Army's
football team be stricken from the
Yale schedule until the Cadets con-
fornb to the Eli standards Of player
eligibility.
This proposal is to show the old
grads Of other schools that Yale
means business in demanding that
opponents meet them on an "even
break" basis. 1t is expected to slim
ulate organization of the conference.

Concerning the "new deaP' at New

authoritatively that the old Blues
have been assured of general
shake-up in the Yale football staff.
Some of the vel Informed old
grads expect head coach Reggie

1t was reported in alumni circles
that Malcolm Farmer, director Of
athletics at Yale, is considering Sc

Lou Little of Columbia or Earl Blaik,

successor. During Roots one-year
regime, the Eli team lost its four

basis for gridiron play.

is theoretically easier to build up
batting marks in the American
League than in the National.
DOTH leagues should use the
II same ball. This would give the
customers a more accurate line on
the hitters and the pitchers in the
two leagues. The indications are
that a uniform ball will be adopted.
The gradual eclipse Of Ruth prob
ably has something to do with this.
Ultimately it will no longer be
necessary to build up weak hitters
to an approximation Of the Ruth
stature.
At the same time there is evil
dence that the 30 home run is still
held in high esteem by some Of the
club owners. Mr.. Louis Comiskey
Of the White Sox has moved his
home plate farther from the stands
so it wi1l be less difficult for his star
batsman, Mr.. Al Simmons, to nudge
the ball over the fence.

create them, and more astonishing
still, the favorite days for double
headers have been Saturdays and
Sundays. I recall that on one par
ticular Sunday last May every team
in the American League was en-
gagged in double-header, and four
teams in the National League.
The answer is, obviously, that The
baseball people became desperate
for patronage, and the box-office
double header was a convenient and,
at first, an effective means to an
end. But apparently the arrange
ment lacked soundness. At any
rate, the baseball people are seek

will come in the form Of a taboo
on Sunday double headers at least.
The inflated home run involves
a number of affiliated factors, in

distances. Each league uses a diff
