Dull.
All except Granski are seniors
and authorities declined to say
whether he would be eligible to
play football next fall.
RAISED ANTE
According to the Plainfield
version, the seven, calling them
selves the Gall Stars" agreed to
play for $35 but raised the ante
to $50 between halves. Dis
agreement on this point ap-
parently resulted in forwarding
of complaint to Fordham au-
thorities.
The athletes involved limited
their comment to saying they
had played in the game, staged
to raise money for the hospital
expenses of an injured Plain
field player, and that they had
accepted a small guaranty to
cover expenses.

Thrills Lost

This record stands as an in
dictment of baseball as a de-
cadent sport 50 far as the re-
finements of the pastime are
concerned. Where power pre-
dominates. finesse declines.
and some Of the real thrills of
the baseball that used to be are
lost.
The record supports strongly
the National Leagues move in
adopting a less lively ball with
a probable dimirution of home
runs. The astuteness of the
senior leagues action will be
recognized as the season pro
crosses. Stressing the fact that
it ball is less lively than the
spheroid in the American
League, the National League
will add prestige to its distance
hitters, and by inference, de-
preciate the mlehtiest drives of
Greenberg. DiMaggio, Gehrig
and the others whose names are
synonymous with power hitting.
It is by far too early in the
training season for National
League managers to stress slid

Jack just completed his first
year of basketball coaching and
cruised through the season with
out a defeat in IL games. It was
a duplicate of his first season of
coaching the freshman football
team in which he played two
games-with Maryland University
and Temple-and won them both.
Jack will now take a turn with

attempt to make a clean sweep
for the season. He stands q good
