Notre Dame's tumble from its long-standing football pedestal was 8 close second as a team disap- pointment, but Vines completely dominated the vote among the in- dividuals.
 Of the 149 editors who voted the team disappointment question, 6 6,.sted the Davis cup squad, 59 named Notre Dame, 12 chose the Washington Senators in the world series, 10 gave the nod to the Yam kees, while single votes went to the U. s. Ryder cup golf team and to game with Georgia Tech.
 A total of 132 answered the in- dividual disappointment question, and S6 selected Vines. The distinc- ton of being runner-up went to Mrs Helen Wills Moody who got 13 votes. Jack Sharkey was third with 10 votes, and Babe Ruth fourth with nine. Wes Terrell Cleveland Indians pitcher, was given six votes, and Max Schmeling, four. Single votes went to Kaye Don for his showing against Gar Wood, to Pepper Martin. Hunk Anderson's failure to score single point in a home game" and to Gene Sarazen.
 Logical
 One editor who selected the Davis cup team claimed it was the greatest disappointment because it was the least expected" Notre Dame's poor season, while causing much controversial comment, was more or less expected from the start"
 Explaining his vote for the Notre Dame collapse, one California sports editor wrote: "Notre Dame was namedl because of more wide spread attention from greater number of fans, although within the limits of it's own following, the tennis teams slump was gigan- tic disappointment
 One of those who voted for Wes Terrell in the individual section expressed disappointment because this Cleveland Indian pitcher flor three years had seemed headed to- wards the goal attained by the Mathewsons, A exa n d CTS and Groves"
 A vote for Vines was cast with this qualification: Potentially tho greatest of all amateur tennis play CTS his collapse can be laid par- tially to those who sought to have him take the pro step. Vines was THE tragedy of sport-far more than his record"

NEW HAVEN TEAMS MEETLOCALLITE
 SATURDAY NIGHT
St Michaels and K. of L. SpeedbOys in Main COn-
 test at St Joseph Gym

Another fine attraction has been billed for St Joseph's hall in Brooklyn when the Knights of Lithuania Speedboys engage the St Michael team of New Haven in the second Saturday night feature of the season. The St Michael club is represented by some of the lead ing Dusty and semi-pro players in the Elm City.
 Coach "Chick" Winck will bring to Waterbury the following players who have represented the Italian Catholic church of New Haven: Frank Iwanski,. former Hillhouse ace; Jack Sheehan, Dusty league performer, Mike Millici, last years captain of the Campanias baseball nine, and chosen to lead the St Michael quintet this season; Frank Diriend, former captain of Com mercial High and Pink Rielly, all star guard of the New Haven High scholos. Two newcomers have been signed for the remainder of the season who are R. Lockely of Doc Arnold's school, and Greece, captian of the Commercial High basketball team during the 1880 season. Both Lockely, who was Hillhouse High captain in 1880 and Greece of Commercial op- posed each other in the crucial high school series that year.
 Confident
 The K. of L. Speedboys realize they are inviting plenty of trouble in the Elm City outfit, but the tri- umph over the Brooklyn A. c. in spired them with confidence to take on any leading opponent in the state.
 Manager Edmund Jenusaitis of the K. of l.. Juniors has booked a wonderful attraction for the open ing game at 7:30 p. m., by signing the Fairhaven Midgets of New Haven in the first game of a series. The Fairhaven team has a speedy collection of basketball tossers, losing but one game in three sea- sons, having defeated the best teams in the state.

Pasadena, Calf, Dec 22-CU.P.) A sparkling 67 by Macdonald Smith seemed comparatively safe to-day in the $4,000 Pasadena open golf tournament.
 Only by clipping five strokes from par could opponents overtake the canny Scot. The leading hun dred players and ties will engage in medal play tomorrow and Sum day. for the championship.
 Smith jumped int othe lead late in the day after Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. r., pro, establish ed himself as the pace-setter with a par-cracking 69. Playing steadily rather than spectacularly, Smith clicked off the first nine in 35, one under par, and then romped home with a blistering 32.
 Oliver Sleepy, Long Beach, and Pete Lamb, San Bernardino, Cal, were third with par 7E1's. Craig Wood of Deal, N. J., fourth with a 72. Eddie Loos of Chicago and Al Espinosa of Akron, fifth with 73; John Revo1ta, Milwaukee and Ar chic Mambrick, bespectacled Zanesville,s O, pro, held 74's.

game.
 Changes in the code this year "dress up" last years rad ical changes. The new rules last year were well receiv- ed in almost every sect on of the country.
 A most import tant change and one~with a direct bearing on the welfare of bas- ketball in high schools is t h Q change in the placing of the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-22

center line unQer
 the 10-second rule. Last year this line was drawn through the center of all courts more than 60 feet Tn length. The new rule provides for division lines which will be 40 feet from each end line, parallel to the end line.
 This change, however, affects only floors under 75 fet in length. The fine thing about this change is that uniform playing conditions have been established for the game. This was not true last year, when the 10 players were crowded in small offensive zones, thus caus- ing more bodily contact, rougher playing and necessitating the call- ing of more than the usual number of personal fouls.
 The three-second pivot rule of last year has been modified slightly. This will prove a boon to the off, cial, but handicaps the pivot man. The new pivot rule states that a player shall not withhold the ball from play for more than three seconds in his free-throw lane and circle, and he must get che ball out side the lane within that time or lose possession. Regardless of the position of the pivot man in these confines, the rule is the same.
 Break For Subs.
 The new substitution provides that player may not re-enter after leaving the game three times. The old rule permitted a player to re-0nter the game once, but not twice as the 1933-34 rules permit. This change is loked upon with favor, as it allows a liberal sub stitution policy which will tend to relieve any extra physical hardship on individual players.
 Another change in the code necessitates the handling of the ball on all out-of- bounds balls in the front court. This rule will curb the "quick pass-in" plays from out of-bounds and increase the number of set plays in the offense. This rule was made to avoid any misunder- standing as to which team had possession of the ball.
 One Man Return.
 Last year the offense had 10 seconds in which to advance the ball across the center line, and once acrass the line the ball could not be passed back over the stripe until shot had been attemptedA an out-of-bounds or jump ball play called or a recovery of possession of the ball. Under those conditions, any man on the offense could take the ball back across the center marker.
 This year the rule is essentially the same except that only the man recovering the ball after one of three above plays have occurred can take the ball to the back court across the line. This action must take place immediately after the after the recovery of the ball.
 This change greatly simplifies the work of the official on this phase of the game. If any player other than the man recovering the ball takes the ball across the line, it is a violation and the ball goes to the opposing team out-of-bounds at the nearest spot to the violations

The north end "" Whippets will play their most noted rivals, the Trojans, this Saturday at the north end "" gym in their second league game of the new Intermedi- ate league. The Trojans are fa- vored to win because the Whippets will be considerably weakened, Hailay, Riccuti, H. Chestone and Bannon being unable to play be- cause of unpaid memberships. The Whippets, however, are confident and expect to bring home the ba- con. Captain Coviello will have to depend on Louie Cheston, Grenier, Lohery and J.

At 8 o'clock on the same date the Whip pets will play the highly touted Thomaston Hilltop Ramblers in a game that is sure to be nip and tuck all the way through.

GUS W|NKLER SLAIN
TO STOP "SQUEAL'
Bandits Body Lies In MorgYe
in Evidence dead Men
Tell No Tales"
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 10.-The body Of
Gus Winkler, heir to part Of the ANU
ence Of the old Capone gang, lay In q
morgue today, mute evidence of the
gangland rule that dead men tell no
tales.
In gangland they call talking to au-
thorities THE "squeal." and it was the
theory Of Investigators that his enemies
pumped four volleys of shotgun pellets
into his body yesterday to keep him
from telling what he knew ahQse u
s25o,0OO mail robbery In Chicago last
December.
Winkler was the second person linked
with the robbery in one way or another
to die. The other was Edgar B. Le-
bensberger. owner OF a swanky club on
berger was found shot to death the
other day shortly before 1t was revealed
that he was under indictment in con-
nection with the robbery. Some inves-
tigators said he might have been muir
dered, despite coroners verdict Of sui
eide
And while Winkler's body lay in a
mortuary there were newspaper re-
ports that his slayers have marked for
death one or possibly two other men to
silence them in the Federal Govern
ments investigation of the robbery.
One newspaper said this had been
learned on what it described as an "un-
impeachable authority"
The report that Winkler, who had
been in hiding since last Saturday, had
intended to talk today with Federal in
vesttgators came from his blond widow,
who recently was arrested with Winkler
in their fashionable North Shore apart
ment for questioning In connection with
more recent postal robbery, in which
Policeman Miles CUNNINGHAM was slain
as the robbers fed. Mrs. Winkler, who,
with her husband, later was released,
told her story to Coroner Frank J.
Walsh.
At the same time. Dan Gilbert Of the
States attorneys police expressed his
belief that Winkler was put out of the
way so he couldn't give information
about last Decembers robbery
He" said the captain, apparently
was the contact man between the actual
mail robbers and the peddlers of the
stolen bonds. 1t is significant that every
one but Winkler was indicted, and it
seems obvious that Winkler was an in
former He was the only man alive,
apparently. who could put the finger
on the gangsters who robbed the mail

Around a shiny oval table in the
spacious Office of Undersecretary of the

Behind the conference lay a struggle
between two opposed viewpoints

further payments and the insistent de-
mand in Congress that the debts be
collected in full as funded. The nego-

between these positions.
