Pairing Assure Brilliant Brand of Football Battles
Pitt Head, Reoffirming Special
Aid Ban, Leaves Way Open to
Help Deserving Athletes

mems club banquet for the varsity
and freshman football squads said
Pitt was going straight ahead" with
football but under the Bowman
code. The real question" he said,
was: care we to do our part along
with the leading colleges of the
East and West to save football as
wholesome sport?" He praised DR..
John Balm Sutherland, head football
coach, because he knows his stuff
as a teacher and a gentleman" and
said, "You want DR.. Sutherland
here, and so do l."
But he did not make the state
ment until later that many Pitt
supporters believe will clear up the
situation. Then he told newsmen:
Will Not Discriminate.
There is nothing in the CBov.
NAM code which prevents ambitious
athletes from receiving help. That
would be discriminating against
boys because they are athletes.
Furthermore, there is no
rule preventing bright student
from obtaining a regular scholar
ship, but we certainly will not give
any scholarships merely because
students are athletes"
Alumni, the Lettermen's Club or
individuals may help athletes. but
such help must be openly offered
and reported and university off,
cials will judge whether it is to
serve a worthy student or merely
to buy athletic talent on the open
market, he said.
Late yesterday John Weber, the
university business manager-secre-
tary, met the freshmen football
players and agreed, as he had done
previously, to waive the tuition
notes for this year only. He re-
jected their demands for full four
year scholarships, but offered them
more work to pay of the tuition
after this year. They now receive
S48 monthly for working several
hours a day. The athletes would
not comment.

BY KENNETH GREGORY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. g.
Baseballs minor league forces pre-
pared today for a showdown with
the majors on the question of "cov-
ering up prospective players.
Such agreements long have been
a sore spot and especially since the
noted Bob Feller case of last year.
Feller, an ace pitcher, was maneu-
vered into the majors, with the
Cleveland Indians, by way of the
New Orleans club of the Southern
Association, although he never
donned a New Orleans uniform.
A general agreement will be sought
at the current meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues to prevent major
league teams from signing sand
lot player to a minor league club
and holding string on him there
after.
Lands Draws Up Rule.
Baseballs high commissioner, K.
M. Lands, has drawn up an amend
ment to abrogate a rule adopted
two years ago permitting so-called
"subterfuge" agreements. and 1t will
be debated at the business session of
the association on Thursday.
Destined to create wide discus
sion, the amendment was ! of IS
ready for presentation to the meet
ing at which Judge w. G.. Grammar,
the minor leagues commissioner,
will offer his annual report. Thirty
seven minor leagues are represented.
The first deal announced at the
current meeting was the sale by
the Cincinnati Reds of Pitcher Joe
Cascarella to Buffalo.
Secretary Jack Cook of the Jersey
City club later announced the out
right sales to Dallas of Ernie Sulik,
outflelder, and Mike Radon, right
handed pitcher. The terms were
not made public.
Cards Are Seeking Herman.
The st. Louis Cardinals were re-
ported angling for Billy Herman,
second baseman of the Chicago
Cubs. using Pepper Martin, their
outfielder- -infielder, as bait.
Del Baker, manager of the Detroit
Tigers. said he contemplated no
immediate trades.
Travis jackson, New York Giants
coach. discussed as a possibility for
managership of the New Orleans
club, will remain with the Giants,
it was reported on good authority.
Burleigh Grimes. former Brooklyn
manager, was named manager of
the Montreal club to succeed Rab-
bit Maranville. A reliable source
said Maranville would manage the
Albany club.
Mike Kelly of the Minneapolis
(American Association team an
nounced the purchase from the
Washington Senators of Elon Hog
sett, left-handed pitcher. Terms
were not given.

Brewers Consider Barry,
But Eye Another Star

The services Of one of the greatest
players in the history of American
League basket ball have been Of
fered the Washington Heurichs by
John J. O'Brien, president of the
loop.
In telegram to Chris Heurich,
jr., the league official suggested that
he consider Pete Barry of the
Original Celtics as player-coach.
Heurich admitted this morning that
he definitely was interested in Bar
ry, but said he also was dickering
with another American League
player to strengthen the team which
has lost three league games and an
equal number of exhibitions.
Barry was one of the key men
of the world champion New York
Celtics, who dominated the sport
for many years and still is regarded
as one of the smartest players of
all time.

son champ. Winner Of all seven
starts. the little chestnut proved
himself both game and swift COM
petitor. Whether he could have
trounced Challedon in the late mid
dle-distance stakes is problematical.
But as he has yet to taste defeat he
must be named leader of his divi-
sion.
Challedon came to the front late
this fall. winning the Maryland,
New England and Pimlico futurities
In rapid order. He beat many of
the best youngsters that still were
In training and did it in convincing
style. Altogether he won out of
7 races. and shapes up as a corking
3-year-old prospect.
Porter's Mite, which many consid-
er the real juvenile leader, had
rather spotty record. After winning
last winter he lost form. ran a poor
race behind Ell Chico and then
broke the worlds record while run
ming of with the Champagne
Stakes. After winning the rich
Belmont Futurity in clever fashion
he was put away to develop.
Whether he can travel a distance
remains to be seen, but his record
breaking efforts put him right up
close to Ell Chico.
Inscoelda Is Standout.
In the juvenile division reserved
for fillies, Inscoelda appears to be a
standout over a poor lot. The In
SEQ maid showed plenty of speed
when she galloped of with the Ar
lington Lassie Stakes at 6 furlongs
last summer and then proved her
self game one by coming from
behind colts to win the Walden at
a distance this fall. In the Selma
at Laurel. she was away in a tan
gle, buffeted about, then closed with
a sensational rush to run a close
second to Big Hurry.
Smart Crack, which suffered
single defeat in Z starts, also show
ed plenty Of dash. However, her
spots were picked, and she did not
meet many of the best of her age
and sex. In losing one race the
gray miss bowed to Ciencia, which
improved as the season neared its
close, to end up among the leaders.

Rhem Wanted Law Enforced
In Strange Drinking Case

Flint Rhem was another free
thinker. There were times, though,
when Flint conceded the need for
law enforcement. In fact, there was
one time when he became indignant
over the way the law failed to pro-
tect him.
Some 10 years ago Rhem was
pitching winning ball for the St.

were on the trail of the pennant.
The team came to New York for a
fairly crucial series. All the Cards
turned up at the Polo Grounds, as
advertised, with the exception OF

and kidnapped him. When they had
