in 81 Rounds

New York, April 16-(R-Paul Run

Biggest money winner Of the sea-
son, Runyan smacked par around SO
Justify that his average per l8-hole

the fact that the White Plains star

during the season that took the
mashie.wielders through California,
Texas. Florida, Georgia, the Caro-
linas, and Virginia as well as to Aqua
Caliente in Mexico.
All told, Runyan used up 1855 shots
In 81 rounds.
Olin Dutra, the gay caballero from
Los Angeles, and Willie Hunter, an
other Los Angeles luminary, also
compiled average scores that bettered
~ per round but they played only Il
and II rounds, respectively.
The real runner-up was the sensa-
tional newcomer from Denver, Ky
Laffon, who averaged u 1854 strokes
In 81 rounds. Lighthouse Harry
Cooper Of Chicago was third among
those who played 40 rounds or more
with an average Of u 11-l3. Trailing

CONDITIONS LITTLE BETTER THAN IN
 1929 SAYS SAVAGE
Carnegie Foundation Spent $1O3,OOO Investigating
 College Football

New York, Dec 2S-(U. F. l-rka National Collegiate Athletic Asso citation and American Football Coaches Association weDt into final meetings to-day with recruiting and subsidizing of athletes still dominating the program.
 A committee of five drew up national code of ethics last nignt in the first organized attempt to de- fine Legitimate" recruiting and substituting for a report to-day.
 At a meeting of the SportsmaIl- ship Brotherhood held in conjunc- tion with the other meetings yes- terday, Dr Howard J. Savage Of the Carnegie Foundation said that $103,000 had been spent in investi- gating the evils of football, but that conditions were little better now than in 1929, when the na- tionwide expose was made.
 The committee was charged with the task of finding a remedy, and the job was given to z. G. CleV@ enger, Indiana University; Dr D. A. Penick, Texas University; Pro- lessor Herman Diedrichs, CorneIls Professor George l.. Rider, Miami (O) University; c. E. Bilhimer, Gettysburg, (Pa) College.
 Opinion was divided, and some of the coaches and other officials said rumors of commercialisna were outright bunk" others who believe that much could be done to remedy the situation were heartily in favor of nationwide code.
 Bernard Oackes of Montana University saw 'legitimaten ath- letic scholarship, without subrosa phenagling, as the answer.
 But H. J. Stegman of Georgia wanted to know what a slegitf- mate" athletic scholarship might be.
 While they argued the point at the round table, pr Savage was pouring out a denunciation at the Sportsmanship Brotherhood meet ing almost comparable to the fam ous bulletin No 23 of 1929 which first brought official attention on re- cruiting and substituting. He charged that some institu- tions "that once semed to be mak- ing notable progress toward clean sports have wavered in their COuESc. OlIlcTS tIdL OHCS ndu BO0N records have forfeited, sometimes under pressure of alumni. Still others have continued and even irf- tensified their shady practices" He said that for perhaps a year and a half after the 1929 expose there was 8 distinct Improvement, after which a 'retrograde move- ment" set in in some parts of the country.
 Yesterday afternoon brought the N. c. A. A., the football coaches, the College Physical Education As- sociation and the American Stu- dent Health Association into a. joint meting for a general discus- sion of college athletics. Speakers included Dana x. Bible, Nebraska. head of the coaches; Major John L. Griffith, Chicago, president of the N. c. A. A., Dean Herbert E.
 Hawkes. of Columbia, and Robert F. Kelley.

HUBBELL DEAN BEST PITCHERS
 OF N. |. SEASON

New York, December 28 - (UP) - Carl Hubbell, the fading southpaw from Oklahoma with the screwball, and Dizzy Dean, Arkan- sas' youthful wisecracker, lead the National League pitchers of 1894.
 Hubbell. ace of the New York Giants staff. was virtually the best pitcher in the world. His earned run average for the year was 2.30 and not only topped the National League, but also was better than the American Leagues best-Yan- kee Vernon Gomez's 2.33.
 Besides taking the National League earned run honors for the second consecutive year, as re- vealed by release of official figures, Hubbell pitched the most complete games, 25, and won 21 while losing 12. He added five shutouts and 11S strikeouts to his record.
 Dean ranked second in earned runs, with 2.65, but for the third stroight year he led in strikeouts with 195, pitched the most shut outs, 2, and was the first since Grover Alexander in 1917 to win 30 games in a National League season. He lost only seven and was on top in won and lost per- centage.

 A thought was suggested to us last week. With the league finish ing its season schedule on teDru- ary 22, how would a ''sweepstake", go every Friday night. All the teams could use their regular line- ups, and roll for prizes, such as high team single, high team three and many individual prizes as well with the pay-off after each nights bowling. This sweepstake idea is only a suggestion for this league, and we would like to hear from the fellows whether they favor thing like this or not.
