Pirro' Booting Seen
AS Big {. U. Asset
In Bowl Game
Husky Italian Linemon
Has Kicking Average
Of $50 for Season

Perking up with one of
those why y-didn't-I-t think -of-it be-
fore expressions, Coach Dutch
Bergman today decided to utilize
Carmen Pirro's place-kicking abili-
ty to the fullest extent in Catholic
University's Sun Bowl game with
Arizona.
Bergman sharpened up a flock
of pencils and by some rapid CAL
culating figured Carmen's place
kicking average was close to $50,
an unusually high figure The big
Italian tackle booted 18 of 81 place
ments through the uprights for
points after touchdown and missed
two field goal tries during the
regular season and his record gave
the coach an idea.
Dutch" remembered the field
goal attempts were made against
Tulsa under unfavorable weather
conditions from the 30-yard line.
That meant a 40-yard boot on a
collegiate field He recalled, too,
that neither kick was a complete
f1ub, but had plenty OF carry against
strong wind. Such power, he rea-
soned, shouldn't oe overlooked
against Arizona.
Weather conditions in the bowl
game promise to be ideal, from a
kicking viewpoint. and If Arizona s
defense is uncommonly stubborn, it
may be comfort to the Cardinals
to have Carmen around.

The experts decided that when the

dainty southpaw hook flattened
Nova it was worth 3712 more, thereby
giving Galento 531a points in the

Except for those three, there

ST. LOUIS, Dec 15-If Cardinal
Boss Sam Breadon has his way
baseball's dream game" next sum-
mer will be given back to the fans
That is. he wants the players for
the all-star contest-to be played
here in July-to be selected by Gus
@. Public, instead of the American
and National League team managers
naming the squad from the men
nominated by club pilots.
Change to Be Considered.
Moreover, Breadon said he has
mentioned the idea to Ford Prick,
president of the National League,
and plans to bring it up at the Feb
ruary meeting of the major leagues
He said he wanted to present it at
the meeting IN Cincinnati last week,
but pressure of other business pre-
vented 1t.
Il feel that the selection of the
players for the all-star game should
be returned to the fans" Breadon
said. THE contest, as it is, is one
OF the important sports events of
the year, but I think it could become
an event of much greater import
ance and much wider interest if the
fans were allowed to exercise their
judgment and cast their ballots for
the men they feel are best fitted to
play the various positions.
Game Would Mean More.
I know it would make this game
mean a great deal more, both to
the fans and to baseball"
The fans picked the players by
ballot for the first all-star game in
Chicago in 1888, but that method
was abandoned after a few years
and the club managers now have
the say.
