They will stack up against the Winsted Catholic Girls club in completing the St. Stans State League under that name. Coach Bill Tracy will start the following lineup for his team: Grenick and Victor at for wards; Mclean at center; with Os- troski end Tracy in the rear berths. For additional material he will rely upon Sli and Madden to defeat the Winsted feminine quintet.
 The prelim will be handled by James Damelio, while in the feature engagement Clem Briotti will do the whistle footing.

.YAWKEY GETS GIL .D0BIE COMPLEX
Red SOx Far From Sure Thing as Remnant Win-
 ner, Now, Says He

Detroit, Jan. 15-(UP)-Thomas A. Yawkey, Boston Red Sox own- CT who is reputed to have spent $3,000,O ,O00 on his baseball park and club, refuses to admit the Bostonians have the 1896 American league pen- nant clinched.
 T know Q lot of people conceding us the pennant," Yawkey said, "but I also know that 1t is rather early in the year to be conceding anybody anything in baseball"
 Yawkey came here to attend 8 preview of the American leagues new baseball picture "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"
 We think we have Q team that will be contender with the Tigers and the others" Yawkey continued, but we are not claiming anything at this stage. Too many things can happen.
 T believe next seasons race is likely to turn in 8 number of sur- prises," he added. For one thing I expect the Indians to be stronger than they were last yer, and I don't expect the Yankees to be nearly as weak as some people seem to believe they will be. They'll be up there, or I miss my guess"

OF VETERAN
 ROCKIES GIVEN LAST CHANCE
COOney and Eckhardt in FniaI Effort to Make Big
 League Grade
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Jan. 13.-lUP)-An odd assortment of rockies, some getting their last chance to crack into major league baseball, will report to many National league clubs when spril1g training starts in a few weeks.
 Veterans who have been up be- fore, collegians hoping to go from the campus to the big time, ana minor league stars who have 1fa~ ished their apprenticeship are included in the annual c0nsignn1enN of potential Cobbs, Ruths and Maths hewsons.
 The 34-year Johnny Cooney of Indianapolis and Oscar Eclshardt of the San Francisco Missions, both outfielders-will report to the Brook lyn Dodgers, undoubtedly their last opportunity to land major leagtte job. Another old-timer who has been up before is Johnny Gill, 2e- year old outfielder from Minneapolis who will try to crack the Chicago Cub lineup.
 On the other side of the ledger are the names of Pitchers Clarence Anderson of Colgate and Sharkey Eiland, former Mississippi State gtars both of whom will show at the New York Giant camp.
 A third group of newcomers inc cludes such minor league aces as Be Judy, Springfield, Mo, who stole 107 bases last year; Gene Lis~ lard, Los Angeles third basernan who led the Pacific Coast league in homers, and Mike Ryba of Colum- bus, one of the American Associa. tions' best all-around players.
 The chances of these and other rockies making good are slim. Each season hundreds come up and only 8 handful get jobs. Last year, for exc ample, only a dozen rockies really succeeded in the National league.
 Eckhardt, Coorey and Gill are the newcomers who have been up the most times before, Eckhardt, Q 2O0- pound Texan, has been owned ny major league clubs during four or the eight years he has been in the minors. During that period, he never batted less than 1850. In 1883 he batted .414-an all-time coast league record--and last year he hit .392. He had trials with Detroit and Boss tons Braves.
 Cooney got . chance with the Braves in 1880 as a left-handed pitcher. He failed and drifted back to the minors. Tn 1884, he turned into an outfielder and last year led the American Association in bat- ting.
 Gill has been up with washing ton, Cleveland and Cincinnati. He joined the Cubs late last year after having batted .361 with Minneapolis. One of his homers won late season game for Chicago.
 Anderson, co-captain and halfback on Colgate's football team, is a ria- tural athlete aiming for the Giants Eiland, another college star, was ad. vised by doctors after he graduated never to throw baseball because oz heart trouble. After he finished cole lege, he took q rest and last year won 21 and lost IS for Nashville. Another Nashville pitcher who will report to the Giants in an effort t0 bolster a short-handed veteran staffs is Tiny Chaplin, who won 21 and lost II. He has been up before.

IS OLD SUBJECT TO
 N.C.A.A. GROUP
Wesleyan Professor Says College Sport Would End
 If Athletes Were Paid

Middletown, Conn, Jan. 15--(UP) Widespread adoption of the south- eastern conference policy to pay the legitimate expenses of college ath- leteS, would mean the end of foot ball." Frank w. Nicholson, secretary and treasurer of the National Col- legiate Athletic association, said to- day.
 Nicholson, 6 Wesleyan University professor and offlcer of the national association for more than 2S years, declared that public interest would vanish and sports cease if amateur sport was killed"
 He pointed out that extreme corn- petition between colleges having wealthy alumni was Q prelude to the end of all football, and 1t is ap- parent that the suggestion of the southeastern would not work"
 In the Open
 There are 13 colleges associated with the southeastern conference, he told Q student assembly, voted ito give openly to atheletes for their ath- letic service enough aid through loans, scholarships or work, to meet all their legitimate expenses of at- tending school.
 "The reason given for this re- quest was the same given the asso- ciatiofl 30 years ago by Brown Uni- versity and others in deciding to al- low their athletes to play summer ball-that everyone was doing 1t anyway and that hypocricy should be ended"
 "The question of arnateurism," he said, "has been before the associa. ton since 1t started some 30 years ago and probably always will be. Officially 1t Is called recruiting and subsidizing of athletes; actually, 1t is paying athletes for their services on the athletic fields.
 "The association last year adopt. ed a code covering the subject and on October 28 last I sent out a questionnaire to the 150 colleges af- flliated with our association quot- ing the nine articles of the code and asking if they approved and enforced each.
 Code Question
 One hundred, including all the larger colleges and universities, re- piled. Thirty-six of the hundred that replied answered yes to both ques- tions; thirty.eight approved the code but were not able to say con- scientiously that they were fully en- forcing 1t: and twenty-four did not approve one or more of the items and naturally were not attempting to enforce them. Thus 1t may be seen that 75 per cent of those oi our membership who replied approve of the code"
 He said the situation twas made more complex this year" by the ac- ton of the southeastern conference,
 Should this policy spread, he said there would be no limiting the sums allotted for expenses"
 Money Teams
 "All this" he declared, would bring a period of extreme compe- tition between colleges having wealthy alumni, until 1t developed that the wealthiest schools would have the best teams, while the smaller institutions would be left en- tirely out of the sports picture. Should that day ever come, the end of all sports will not be far away. Furthermore, advocates of such ideas should remember that the end of college football would also mean the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-15

end of professional football, for 1t is on the college gridirons that the material for the professional teams Is developed"
 He said the majority of members of the NCAA has adopted Q reso- lution "reaffirming the associations unalterable adherence to the prin- ciples and practices of strict anna tee of three "to make a thorough teurism," and selected a commit- study of all the influences that are in any way inimical to the best in- terest of amateur sport and threaten it's very existence"
