Gophers Get Big Edge Over
S. M. U. and Princeton in

BY ALAN Gould.

"a TEW YORK, December l8.-The
IN No. team achievement Of the
year in any sport was turned
a in by the Detroit Tigers, world
champions Of base ball, in the estima-
ton Of the country's sports experts.
Against competition in the voting
offered principally by three unbeaten
college foot ball teams, the Tigers reg
istered as decisive a triumph in the
fifth annual Associated Press sports
poll as they did in capturing the Amer
ican League pennant for the SECOND
time and then turning back the Chi
cago Cubs in the world series.
The Tigers topped the team poll with
209 points. Minnesota's unbeaten foot
ball team, runner-up in the poul for
the second straight year enjoyed the
distinction Of posting a clear margin
over rivals for national gridiron honors.
GOphers Get 1872 Points.
MINNESOTA'S point total was l62.
Southern Methodist, the East
ern" Rose Bowl choice, finished third,
with "a. Princeton, foot ball leader in
the East, was next, with Al.
Points were tabulated on a 3-2-1
basis, as sports editors and writer's,
numbering upward of 100, listed three
teams each In the order Of preference.
The popularity Of the Tigers marked
the fourth straight year in which the
world base ball champions have been
voted the top team of the year. South
ern California's 1881 foot ball team
won recognition in the first Associated
Press roundup. Since then the New
York Yankees. New York Giants. st.
Louis Cardinals and Tigers have land
ed first honors.
Sports experts generally figure the
major league base ball season, lasting
from April to October, involves a more
severe test of team proves than in
any other sport. This year the Tigers,
under Mickey Cochrane's superb lead
ership, gave a particularly fine per-
formance.
Show RaIlying Qualities.
OFF slowly in the pennant race, they
came on steadily to overcome all
opposition. They rallied from a bad
start in the world series as well as
the loss Of their slugging ace, Hank
Greenberg. to beat the Chicago Cubs
in six games and give Detroit its first
world championship.
Mtnnesota's foot ballers were closer
to the top last year than this. The
Gophers trailed the Cardinals In the
1884 poll by only 26 points. This year
the margin separating them from the
Tigers was Al points. In flrst-place
votes the Tigers led by 46 to 29.

MADISON, Wis, December I8.-
Az President Glenn Frank of the
University Of Wisconsin today had
the suggestion of William T. Evjue,
editor of the Madison Capital Times,
that a conference Of Big Ten univer-
sity presidents be called to consider
these reforms in intercollegiate
athletics:
Limit foot ball budgets and coach
ing staff salaries.
Prohibit intersectional games and
compel conference teams to play each
other and teams considered natural
rivals.
Fix uniform requirements for entry
of athletes into conference univer-
stiles, with a conference committee to
pass on entrance credits.
Regulate scholarships to equalize
tuition costs at all universities for
athletes.
Abolish Spring and secret practice.
Bar coaches from the sidelines at
foot ball games and leave the conduct

are to beat, and he has done Just as
fine job in foot ball He brought his
team through a hard schedule in top
condition for his final game, and that
means correct training"
Bernie finished up his fiscal year
with one Of the best teams in foot
ball. This doesn't mean he has any
Louisiana quadrille ahead when he
tackles T. c. U. in the New Orleans
party.
If Lawrence is right this Texas
Christian team Is up to any standard
you want. It had a natural let down
against Santa Clara with a depressing
injured list after the Southern Meth
odist contest that might have gone
either way.
L. S. U. will find the T. C. U.
attack hard to stop If Baugh mixes
up his passing with the fast, hard
running game that Dutch Meyers
backf1eld can put on.
With Baugh and Mickal on the
job this Sugar Bowl show should fur
nish the best passing of the year.
Both teams can also lug the ball, so
there won't be any worry about lack
OF action. The toughest barrier in
T. g. us road will be the Louisiana
ends. No team in the country can
name better pair, although Stanford
can make 1t $3.50 with MoScrip and
Topping. when both are right.

the Cardinals face Duke at o'clock

Eastern meeting Georgetown's fresh

Opening the Eastern Intercollegiate
Conference, Georgetown will face one
Of the talleSt teams in the Nation.
Averaging 6 feet 2 inches, the Temple

foot-5-inch sophomore center, Meyer
Bloom, who is reported to be one of
the best tap-od men in college circles.
Opportunity for Petrosky.
MIKE PETROSKY, Hilltop center,
A'A tonight will give the answer as to
whether he can step in fast company.
Should the rugged 6-foot-4-inch sopho-
more erase the question mark with a
smooth performance, Georgetown fol-
lowers are confident the Hoyas will
travel far this season.
With Don Gibeau and Harry Basin,
forwards, and Ben Zola and Tommy
Nolan, guards, Georgetown has one Of
the speediest and fastest passing teams
ever to represent that school Lack Of
height Is the Hoyas' chief drawback,
although Petrosky presents ANOTHER
problem. An awkward tap-off man last
year on the freshman quint, Petrosky
has developed rapidly, and many feel
he is ready to keep pace with his mates.
Temple invades with an undefeated
record, having trounced Johns Hop
kins, 44-17, and st. JoSeph's, 1890.
Georgetown scored an easy 46-13 vic
tory over Western Maryland in its
only start.
The Owls will start Don Shields and

and Ernie Messikomer and Irving
Casper, guards.
Cards Have Star Pair.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY will look
- to- the high scoring Herrnie
Schmarr, the Districts leading point
getter last year, and Bernie Lieh,
clever center, to worry Duke. Coach
Fod Cotton will start Schmarr and

exception of Lieb, the team is COM

team which will play Mississippi in

The Blue Devils. who bowed before
the Cards last year, 1881, will start
Capt. Charles Kunkle and Billy Huis-
kamp, forwards; Bud Herrick, center,
and Ken Podger and Herb Cheek,

While Dukes first team stacks up
