New York Wins
Pro Title from
Packers, 23.17

NEW YORK. Dec. u. CUP) -
Ward Cuff. a hard-driving back
made of concrete and steel. was the
toast of the town today as New
York hailed its gridiron Giants
new world champions OF profession
al football.
There were heroes aplenty out
there on the muddy polo grounds
turf yesterday as the Giants con-
quered the Green Bay Packers, 23
IT, in the National professional
football league championship play
off. But it remained for Cuff,
virtual unknown when he played at
Marquette. to cop the wreath with
a smashing tackle that saved the
game late in the fourth period.
1t was the tackle of a game SO
hard-fought that the crowd of 49,,
120-largest ever to see this grid
iron world serieS-marvelled that
flesh and bone could stand up un-
der such pounding There were
times when cool-witted players saw
cd some of their hot-tempered
mates from swinging their fists IN
free foralls.
1t was a game in which the boys
we're lcvelling all the Way-not for
alma mater out for collars and
cents. And when it was over, Cuff
and johnny Dell Isola, Giant guard
we're in hospital with possible
fractures. respectively, to a breast

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 90
A professional football team in
every baseball park in the
country!
That's the ultimate goal of

Carr, veteran founder and presi-
dent of the National Football
League and promotional director
of the minor baseball leagues.
I'VE. have 81 minor baseball
leagues-well have about 40 in
1939-which condition young and
inexperienced players for the
majors" Carr said. There's no
reason why we shouldn't have
the same for football, with the
players winning their way up the
ladder to berths on the National
League clubs
Carr said that three minor
leagues, each with a working
agreement with the National
League, functioned during 1888
and that negotiations were under
way for three more.
Carr said he had talked over
the idea with the president of
the Southern Association, club
owners of the Texas League, and
interested parties" in the Pa
cif1c Northwest and that he be-
lieved action would be taken.

"Howda we know what kind of
a manager he'll be? Howda we
know what kinda manager Grimes
was, or Stengel, or Max Carey?
A guy just gets set in the job
and they give him the old heave-
no. All year round we holler for
new ball players and wadda we
get-new managers. We could
have Mccarthy for manager, with
McKechnie and Connie Mack for
coaches, and them buns couldn't
get outen the second division"
The fellow with the cigars, who
now was wearing his hat on one
foot, took one stogie out of his
mouth and observed the club
still needed pitching.
"Pitching?" yelped Joe. "Pitch-
ing? We need everything. I've
about given up on that Mungo;
I been waitin' on him too long
anyhow. But he's only one guy
to worry about. Who's gonna
play second baSe-or even sing
it? Is this guy Camilli gonna
hit or amt he?"
The quiet man in the corner
observed that Joe Strip, the
new third baseman, and Duroch-
er, the shortstop and manager,
were the best fielders at their
positions in the league.
That Durocher can 60 and
get EN-" agreed the barkeep,
but that strip act. You know

Punch as ills
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29-Satished that
football. rules and all, had enough
"kick" for another season, the Ma
tons football coaches passed up
major changes and turned today to
movies and lectures on the game.
Augmenting the second day of the
American Football Coaches Associa-
tion's 18th meeting was a joint ses-
sion with the National Collegiate
Athletic Association.
While giving the grid code gen.
eral Endorsement yesterday, the as
sociation's Rules Committee made six
recommendations to the N. C. A. A.
rules body, which will meet next
Monday at Colorado Springs, Colo.
Another proposal was made to its
own group.
Lou Little, Columbia coach and
Rules Committee chairman, said
none OF the rules represent radical
changes. The coaches feel a nice
balance has been reached between
offense and defense and we are in
for period of stabilization
Six Recommendations Made.
Recommendations to the N. c. A.
A. were:
l. When forward pass strikes
an ineligible player on or behind the
line Of scrimmage the penalty shall
be loss of down and Is yards from
the point of the previous down.
Coaches felt loss of the ball at
point of previous down too severe
and believed change would permit
more shovel passesD
2. On a forward pass play all
ineligible men must remain on the
line of scrimmage until pass is
touched or incomplete Penalty
would be IS yards from spot of pre-
ceding down.
8. Greater enforcement of pen
alties against intentional ground
ing of forward passes The fact a
defensive player is near the point
where pass is grounded should
not be taken as prima facie evil
dence the pass was not intention
ally grounded"
Would Change Punting Rule.
4. A punted ball touched or
grounded by the kicking team no
longer be considered foul.
Under present rules fouls on the
same play by opposing teams offset
each other and do not permit
kicking team, for instance. to de-
cline penalty to take advantage
Of good punt should it ground the
ball and the opposition also foul.
5. Penalty giving receiving team
ball at spot of foul committed by
kicking team while ball is in the
air is too severe. A study was re-
quested.
6. Careful study of equipment
to reduce injuries reported due
sometimes to certain types of cleats
or types of protective pads.
The proposal made to its own
group was the request to expert
ment with change which would
permit the team scored upon the
same option as that preceding the
game-the choice of kicking, receiv-
ing or choosing goal to defend.
The proposal was designed to equal
ize play on exceptionally windy
days.

Gamble in Banking Upon =

ability. and the odds are prohibitive
against both making the grade.
That may leave Terry with one
top-notch starting pitcher, Cliff
Melton, and Cliff was no ball of fire
last year. The mound staff has only
one new man, Manuel Salvo. who
won % games for San Diego last
season. He can't be counted upon
to do that in the National League.
Next, Terry is looking to Burgess
Whitehead to return after a years
convalescence from an operation
and play second base like he used to.
Maybe he will, but many baseball
men doubt j. If he doesn't, Alex
Kampouris will have to take over
the job, and Alex couldn't satisfy
Terry last year.
The biggest gamble of all is on
Zeke Bonuras ability to play first
base acceptably. The Giants got the
big New Orleans boy from Wash
lngton after he had been waived out
OF the American League. 1t seems
impossible that eight American
League managers could have been
mistaken completely.
Terry is counting upon Bonura to
drive in wagon-load of runs, which
he doubtless will. but men who have
been playing with and against him
VOW that Zeke will let in an equal
number of runs on balls that 20
whizzing past him.
Trusts to Demaree's Recovery.
In his three-cornered deal with
the Cubs, Terry got Frank Demaree
to play center field, gambling that
the Californian will get his legs
back in shape and shake off the
slump that gripped him all last
season. To get him, Terry had to
turn loose Hank Leiber, who for
years has been the very apple of
President Stoneham's eye. There
will be some strained relations next
summer if Demaree should flop and
Leiber begin pounding the ball like
he did in 1885.
At third base Terry is putting his
trust in George Myatt. who is a great
base runner, but can't hit a lick and
has difficulty throwing as far as
first base With Bonura on first
this latter failing will be pretty
serious.
Outside of all that, Terry really
won't have a thing to worry about.
He has four mighty good men in
Catcher Harry Danning, Shortstop
Bill Jurges and Outfielders Mel OFT
and Joe Moore.

Wade Record Is Tip
Duke Will Attempt
Aerial Triumph
Posing Turned Trick
For Two Bowl Teams
Coached by Him
BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 29.-The
unknown quantity In the Rose Bow
football equation is Dukes offensive
plans for Southern California Janu-
ary 2.
But a good guess, based on Coach
Wallace Wade's record, is passes"
Copious copy has been written
about the defensive ability OF the
unscored-upon Blue Devils. Much
has been mentioned about the stingy
defensive attitude Of Coach Howard
Jones U. S. c. team.
And the word has been banded
around freely by Troys supporters
how with speed. power and decep-
ton they will do this and that with
running plays and passes.
Strangely, none has had much
to say about Duke scoring.
Naturally, the Duke contingent
hasn't brought up the subject, ex-
cept to bemoan the fact George
McAfee, fastest man on the squad
has been Handicapped by foot in
jury and still isn't in good shape.
Kicker Only Apparent Threat.
In fact, the only positive outward
display of scoring ability has been
the field goal kicking Of Tony Ruffa
a third string guard who boots the
ball with accuracy from as far back
as the 40-yard line.
It isn't illogical to suppose Coach
Wade would like to have the Trojans
believe his team is something OF q
scoreless wonder and that Ruffa Is
Dukes best bet.
Eric Upton, whose proves is leg
end, is supposed to be the best pass
thrower Duke has. Tpton's throw
ing during the open practice ses-
sions here was far from sensational
and this could have been by design
For Duke completed 20 OF its "a at
tempts during the regular season
and had only four Of the others in
tercepted.
These figures become more impor-
tant when you realize all but two
of the touchdowns scored on South
ern California came from passes.
Other Wade Teams Passed.
To be sure, there might be an en-
tire lack of offensive power in the
Duke makeup, but If this is true
the Blue Devils will be the first
wade coached Rose Bowl team to
find itself in this predicament.
Take, for example, that 1926 game
when Alabama came back to beat
Washington 20 to 10 after trailing
II to at halftime. Long passes
turned the trick that year. And
then in 1881 when the Crimson
Tide twept Washington State under,
"a to 0, Coach Wade's boys threw
the ball accurately and far.
The Duke mentor prefers to have
you believe now that his teams were
lucky on those afternoons.
But there's nothing to keep you
from suspecting Coach Wade is
priming his boys with a passing at
tack from behind the locked gates
at Brookside Park these fine, warm
days before the game.

Associated Press SPORTS Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Many un-
complimentary things have been said
and written about Boss Bill Terry
of the Giants in the last few sea-
sons, but from here on no man ever
will accuse Bill of not being a
gambler. At least, it will have to be
admitted that Terry is willing to
play them high. wide and handsome
as long as another supplies the blue
chips.
Horace Stoneham, youthful presi-
dent of the Giants, is buying the
chips, and he has good reason to
belieye in Terry's judgment. Still
after looking over the list Of 80
players who have been mailed 1899
contracts by the Giants, here's one
bet that Stoneham is more uneasy
over than he appears.
If Terry has guessed wrong, and
unless he gets more breaks than the
law allows, the Giants likely as not
are to tumble as far down as fifth
place in the next National League
race. They have absolutely no
margin of safety.
Stakes Lot on Slab Cripples.
First, Terry is stalking the works
on the recovery of his two key
pitchers, Carl Hubbell and Hal Schu-
macher, from operations on their
salary arms last fall There is no
p,larantee that either will he hack
with anything like his former
