KANKAKEE, ILL.,, Dec. 28.-Foot-
ball-minded citizens of Kankakee-
leader and Allen Bergner the Navy
grid captains-are not taking no for
an answer where home town pride is
concerned.
Several weeks ago Immediately
after Harry Stella was elected Army
leader and Allen eBrgner the Navy
captain, clamor arose here to bring
the 1899 classic between the service
elevens to Chicago so Kankakee fans
could see these two boys in action.
But athletic officials of the two
schools said this was out of the ques-
ton because they had contracted to
hold the 1889 game at Philadelphia,
where last falls contest was played.
The move to shift the game be-
gan all over again last night when
900 citizens of Kankakee and Chi
cago attended a community banquet
here honoring Stella and Bergner,
who used to play on the high school
team here.
Gen. Robert Wood, West Point
alumnus, Endorsed the movement,

the Midwest should get chance to
see this game once In Z while. And

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.-1n
this literary effort. or possibly it is
effortless literature, we will solve
the great name mystery of the
baseball Di Maggios.
We know them as Joe of the
Yankees, Vince of the Boston Bees

This unusual coincidence was fer
reted out by Mr.. George Bertz of
the Portland Journal, who forwarded
the information for what it was
worth in the belief that one duplica-
tion might indicate typographical
error. but that three similar
cognomens in the same family signi-

of the record book printer, a con-
spiracy or something.

Upton Told He Must
Keep Punts Awoy
From LunsdeII
BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 28-
Dukes big problem, come January 2
and the Rose Bowl football game,
will be to cope with Southern Cali
fornia's speed, if the scant survey
made by Western observers comes
true.
OF course, the Pacific Slopes ex-
perts usually are guilty of under
estimating the invaders and going
overheard with the Vests team in
these annual clashes. More often
than not they have been wrong.
But the fact remains that the
Duke workouts here have given some
basis for the opinion Coach Howard
Jones team will not only outweigh
but also outspeed the Blue Devils.
Wade Realizes Situation.
Cagy Coach Wallace Wade may be
guilty of letting a hint drop here
and there in this direction for pur-
poses not entirely obscure, and if
this is true, somebody is apt to be
surprised.
The Trojans, with all their weight
superiority, have plenty of speed
There are few top backs in the
country with more hurry in their
feet than Mickey Anderson, Bill
Sangster and Jack Banta, to name
three. And those big linemen who
average better than 200 pounds
especially the ends-have shown
considerable speed
Coach Wade may be worried, espe-
cially if the lack of speed shown by
his squad in the open practice ses-
sions is not a disguise But he prob
ably knows what to do about South
ern CALIFORNIA; strength, as his past
Rose Bowl record of two wins and
tie would indicate.
Gives Upton Big Task.
Not exactly a loquacious indi-
vldual, the Blue Devils coach
dropped few ideas on football sub
Jects at tanning bee with some of
his writing friends of the Rose Bowl
precincts.
For example, he must be con-
vinced his great punter, Eric Upton,
has his tasks cut out. Coach Wade
isn't ready to condemn the Notre
Dame quarterback who elected to
run instead of kick on fourth down
In Troys 13-to-0 victory over the
Irish here several weeks ago.
The Trojans have shown their
ability in returning kicks for touch
downs, as Granny Lansdell did
against Ohio State and Washing
ton,' Wade explained.
Pass Defense May Decide.
1t was apparent the Duke coach
made a mental note to caution Tip
ton again today to place his kicks
where Lansdell isn't. In the next
breath Wade said:
Show me the team that inter-
cepted the most passes in a game
and, I'll show you the winner, and
this is true SO times out of 1OO."
Those who heard the statement
felt sure Coach Wade has definite
plans in mind to cope with Southern
California's aerial attack, which
functioned better as the season Just
past went along.
What Wade failed to discuss was
the matter of Southern CALIFORNIA;
power plays plus Troy's fast-break-
ing reverses.
OF course, should such an item
come before a closed caucus. the
Duke mentor could stand on his
teams season record-unbeaten un-
tied. unscored upon.

CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-Football rules
went under the microscope of the
coaches today, but were expected to
come out looking pretty much like
the same old code.
The opening session of the Foot
ball Coaches Association considered
major and minor rule proposals, but
coaches said the sentiment was def
initely in favor of leaving the rules
alone for another year.
A three-hour discussion of the
rules was on the program. followed
by the report of Lou Little, Colum-
bia. chairman of the Rules Com
mittee.
Up for discussion were these pro-
posals:
l. Abolition of the point after
touchdown.
2. Return of goal posts to the
goal line
3. More protection for the for
ward passer.
4. Permit pass throwing any,
where behind line of scrimmage.
The coaches can do no more than
recommend rules changes to the
Rules Committee of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
which meets next week.
Association President Harry Stuhl-
dreher, Wisconsin coach, probably
keynoted the attitude of most
coaches when he took a definite
stand against changes in the code
Football has developed so rapidly
in the last Is years that we coaches
will have to catch up with the game
or be left behind" he said.
'Most coaches probably will wish
to leave the rules as they are and
concentrate on teaching football as
it is now. If the coaches can't keep
pace with the rules we cannot ex-
pect the spectators to keep up with
too many rules changes"
Technical studies of the game by
various coaches will consume most
of Thursdays and Fridays program,
with election of officers scheduled at
the concluding session.

mo, really? Well what do you

We'll, did you know Dominick
had the same middle name as you?"
Gosh, no. Has he got that name,
too?"

Paul?"
You got me there, I don't know. "
How about your oldest brother,
Tom?"
Il don't think it is Paul, but I'm
not sure.
Say, why don't you call Vince?
He's home now"
That's a good idea, Joe. BY the
way. what's your home phone num-
ber?"
MY gosh, I don't know. Wait
till I ask one of the fellows around
here" Zone of the walters sup
piled it,
Vince Knew About 1t.
Vince's batting memory was
slightly better. He knew Joe's mid
Gle name was Paul, lge his own, but
he didn't know Dominick had it too.
And he struck out on his father and
other brother, Tom. We haven't
caught up with Dominick yet. He's

little outfielder. Don't be surprised
if the New York Giants add a Di

Bill Terry quizzed Manager Frank
O'Doul of the Seals about Dominick
recently.
Oh, yes, the reason the Di Mag.
gios have the same middle name is
they were permitted to select them
when they were confirmed as boys.
It's an old family custom. Vince
had the answer to that one.
