CHICAGO, Dec. 20 (I.N.S.).
To avoid getting lost by adding
to the maze Of football rules,
the nations football coaches
gathering for their annual con-
VentiOn today were expected to
leave things on the gridirOn
pretty much IS they stand.
The coaches only suggest
changes to their rules commit
tee which meets next week In
Colorado Springs, Col, but their
recommendations are generally
acted upon.
Il was believed any discus
sion Of the rulebOOk this year
would revclve around restoring
the goal posts to the goal line,
abolition Of the point after
touchdown and allowing for
ward passes frOm any point
back Of the line Of scrimmage
instead Of five yards behind.
None Of the controversial steps,
however, were expected to mus.
ter . majority In favor Of a

GATE BREAKERS
SADLY MISSED,
MOANS FERRIS
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 u.N.S)
The sports world in general, ano
sports promoters in particular
would like to learn the secret o.
turning out glamorous athlete!
with the same facility that Holly
wood turns out those glamor gal
for the films.
Probably nobody tries harder
than Dan Ferris, National A. A
q. secretary, to discover one oi
those priceless gemS-a lad witt
color and box office appeal.
RUN IN CYCLES
"One Of them" sighed Dan
today, can take any promoter
out Of the red. Two Of them
in any one sport are o gold
mine. Unfortunately, colorful
athletes seem to run In cycles
and today we have few to
match the great array Of the
1920's-the So-cslled golden age
Of sport.
"The records prove that we
have more and better athletes
today than ever before but
where can we match the Ruths
Cobbs and Speakers in baseball;
Bobby Jones in golf; Bill Tilden,
Bill Johnston and others in
tennis: the DempSeys, Tunneys,
Leonards and q host of others
In the ring; the NurmiS, Rays
and Paddocks in track and
field; the GoulletS, Broccos and
McNarmaraS in bicycling.
Where is there another
Man O. War, another glamor
backfield like the Four Horse
men of Notre Dame, q polo
quartet like Stevenson, Hitch
cock, Webb and Milburn or
hockey giants like Ching John
son, the Cook brothers, King
Clancy or Frank Boucher?
To-day we can offer only q
Glenn Cunningham, a Don
Bulge Orwell, you try to name
q bunch that stand out as box
office attraetions,-fellows the
fans tear down the gates to see
in action.
MUST HAVE COLOR
IT don't know Just how to
define color but I have noted
some strange things in connec-
ton with 1t. First of all, If an
athlete has 1t, he will draw
the fans like honey draws flies.
II he hasn't got that indefin-
able something that makes
color, he may be q champion
and Q record breaker, and still
draw no more attention than
a passing street car.
"An athlete must have that
certain something within him
as q starter but it usually takes
years to develop it. Then 1t
sometimes springs to life over
night as 1t did with Babe Ruth.
"Another thing, all the
color in the world wouldn't be
much help to q dub. A man
must be O champion, or at
least q topnotcher, for his color
to count. Tony Galento may
have color Of Q sort but he will
never be q million dollar attrac-
ton because he Is far from being
q champion.
"The year 1899 may pro-
duce one or two outstanding
stars loaded with color but at
the moment I have little hope
OF seeing another Babe Ruth,
Bobby Jones, Man O'War, Red
Grange, or Jack Dempsey.

With the prospects Of $4,000 to
be netted by a comeback, former

a report from the boxers friends.
It is said that McLRrnin hopes
eventually to land q bout in the

and owned horse.
Peter ViScher, editor of the
Horse & HorSeman. announced
that the magazine would recog-
nize only five performances Of
1898 as worthy Of recognition. and
that, in their opinion, would be
subjects for turf history.
/. The victory of Mrs. Marion
du Pont SCOTS Battleship in the
Grand National at Aintree.
2. The victory Of William Wood
wards Flares in the Ascot Gold
Cup, the first scored by an Amer.
ican-bred horse in the distance
classic In years of racing.
LOWERS RECORD
8. The lowering Of the worlds
trotting record to 1854 by e. J.
Bakers phenomenal Greyhound.
4. The lowering of the worlds
pacing record to 1:55 by Dan Nc
Conville and Pat Downey's Billy
Direct.
s.. The great achievement Of
Seabiscuit-who won Horse &
HorSeman's Golden Bit last year
in taking second place among
the money-winning horses Of
America.
Ell Chico, owned by William
Ziegler, jr., who was acclaimed the
leading 2-year-old Of 1898, did not
merit consideration for winning
seven straight victories in as many
starts; for Wander Pool, a brisk
son of Campfire, won IL straight
in 1880. Others accomplishing
this same feat have been Twenty
Grand, Mate, Jamestown, the re-
nowned EquipoiSe and Top Flight,
whose record still stands as the
worlds largest money winning
2-year-old.
In announcing Battleship as the
horse of the year, the magazine
issued by the Horse and Horse
man stated:
I'VE salute Battleship not
alone because he succeeded in q
feat never before attained by an
American-bred horse, not in q
hundred years Of racing, but be-
cause he did it at the very time
when American Steeplechasing is
in the doldrumS. BY his stellar
performance he thus directed a
white searchlight on the posi-
bilitieS of this truly great sport
for American horses.
BRINGS ACCLAIM
1--WE salute him because he
brought further acclaim to the
line Of Man o. War and because
he Is himself so obviously des-
tined to advance that line in a
field where brilliant accom-
plishmentS are sorely needed"
Through Man o. War, Battle
ship represents the great line of
Fair Play, and through that great
thoroughbred courses the famous
blood Of Lexington, whom the
English refused to recognize.
Battleship was bred by Walter
J. Salmon in 1927 and, though
never q conspicuous winner, he did
win some takes on the flat before
being converted into a Steeple-
chaser. His victories over the
brush have opened the doors for
fame, for, when he won the Grand
National at Belmont Park and the
Grand National at Aintree, he
turned another page in the history

IRISH FARMERS WANT
SUMMER TIME ENDED

DUBLIN, Nov. 5. (UP).-Farm-
ers of Ireland are trying to get
rid of Summer time"
They are appealing to the Fire
minister of agriculture to abolish
summer time, at least in the rural
areas, because it is contrary to
nature" and injurious to farming
interests.
Patrick J. Gaffney, secretary Of
the United Farmers Federation,
said:
SIN summer time farm laborers
report for work an hour earlier,
but they cannot engage in hay
getting or corn saving because the
dew is still too heavy at that ear
ly hour in the morning. We also
consider that it is bad for the
health of young children. They
get up an hour earlier, but it is
difficult to get them to sleep in
the bright summer evenings"

NEW PRODUCTION
DISTRIBUTION

Those of US who for years have
been insisting that the burning
problem was not overproductlor
but underconsumption, and that
the solution to many vital ques-
tions was not curtailment of pro
duction, blowing under crops, kill
ing baby pigs, but some means OF
getting supplies to those who
could not buy them, should re-
joice that a program is seen on
the horizon which undertakes to
do exactly what we have urged
be done all these tough years.
Produce abundantly and dis
tribute literally is the answer to
our economic stagnation and hu-
man starvation. A famine in the
midst of plenty, with a policy of
destroying and preventing sur
pluses, is so fantastic and weird
that it sounds more like a bad
dream than a planned reality.
But let us not curse the mis-
takes of the past, but bless the
wisdom of the present and the fu-
ture, and lend a hand toward it's
fulfillment. ... 49,. e..
