YALEPREPARES
 FOR PRINCETON
Work Begins After l4=l4 Tie With BrOwn-Wes-
 Neyan Little 3 Champs
By United Press

The Yale University football team, having scraped through with a tie against Brown, began with grim de- termination today preparations to stop a roaring Princeton Tiger.
 That game with Brown Saturday wa5 thriller-l4 to IA. All the scor- ing was concentrated in an uproari- ous second quarter, during which the Els piled up quick 14-0 lead, only to zee Brown come back with long run and a longer forward pass to knot the count.
 The rest of the game was spent in futile efforts to break the tie. The last play of the game saw Brown complete lengthy pass to Yale's 9, but the man couldn't get away.
 Now, it was Princeton's turn to visit the Bowl, Princeton team fresh from defeating Dartmouth eleven which only week ago dropped Yale, 33-0.
 "Little Three"
 Meantime. other things were hap pening on the Connecticut front:
 Wesleyan University won the Lit tie Three crown by knocking of Williams, 13-0, in an exciting game at Middletown. Wesleyan already had defeated Amherst.
 Tiny New Britain Teachers Col lege entered the select national ranks of undefeated, united teams by de- feating the Montclair Teachers, 20- 12. The game ended New Britains regular season. Montclair was the first team to score against the New Britain eleven this season.
 The University of Connecticut team defeated their ancient rivals Rhode Island State College, 20-14 in spirited game at Kingston.
 And Trinity College suffered its first defeat of the season to Amherst lowing 19-0. Trinity didn't have 6 chance against superior Amherst team.

 What do coaches and colleges ex- pect to get for $50, $60 and $75? Su- preme court justices?
 To get back to the squawks of the coaches, think that good deal of their yapping over decisions by off, cials would be stopped If immedi- ately after every game, they had to turn in a list of the plays on which they thought the men in charge erred. This list could not be added to later. But would have to be final. This would eliminate the business of watching slow mo- ton pictures of the game and de- tecting flaws from it. After all the officials don't have the benefit of a slow motion shot in making up their minds, they have to trust to their eyesight and call the plays as they see them. I think the coaches should be made to do the same thing. This business of watching a picture on Monday and then setting up hiwl is second guessing in Its thing a football coach abhors. Ab- purest form-and I have heard 1t rumored that second guessing is one hors, in others, that is.

College Game Officials
 Are Greatly Underpaid
By HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press Staff COrresp0ndent)


 New York. Oct. 13-(UP)-Don- aid Duck with sore throat couldn't do any better job of squawking than many of the country's football coaches are doing this season over the officiating at their games.
 In the south. in the midwest, on the coast and here in the east the coaches have been belaboring the men with the whistles and guns and the yardsticks with every critical word in their vocabularies. They have accused the officials of robbery, spelling games for the public, losing their heads under pressure, and darn near everything but hoss steal- ing and jay-walking.
 None of my best friends are of- ficials, but 1t seems to me that 1t Is time someone with typewriter rose to make a defense, even though 1t be a mild one, of the harassed souls. I'm not saying that football officiating is generally inadequate, but I do say that if 1t is, the col- leges are to blame. What do you think an official gets for handling a big football game? A lot of money? No. He gets scarcely more than haircut, shave and shine money. Here in the east an off, cial is paid $75 for a big game. In the midwest the fee is slightly lower, and in the Southeastern Con- ference the pay is $6250 and ex- penses.
 Responsibility
 That's a trailing sum when you consider the work man does in handling @ game. Take a referee for example. He'll wear out six pair of shoes just running up and down the field In a season, and get almost that many pair of pants and shirts torn of him by rampaging linesmen and backs. But when you consider what tremendously important part they play in football you realize how sorely 'under-paid officials arr. Foot ball is hig business these days, What with tremendous crowds of u;',s;',:'ds of 100000 and box office receipts ot as much as a quarter of a million dollars for a single game.
 Looking at football honestly 1t is a vast entertainment enterprise run by schools and universities. It depends just as much on public support as does a professional ball team, a nu- sical comedy or symphony orches- tra. So what do the colleges do? They entrust the entire thing to men whose services are worth only $75 per production. To pay man $75 for handling a game is the same in many respects as putting mil. lion dollars into casting and prepar- ing a motion picture for shooting and then hiring a two-bit director tS shoot it. Or building a tremendous industrial plant and picking up g fellow on the street and hiring hin as foreman for little or nothing.

SMALLER BOARD
 PUTS MORE ZIP < IN BASKETBALL
Official Claims Shorter Blackboard Better for
 Spectator

Columbus, O., Nov. 13-(UP) -
 Basketball, the national winter pastime, soon will be played against a drastically small CT blackboard, H. V. Porter, Chicago, secretary of the National Rules Committee, predicted here.
 Successful exhibition games with the smaller boards have convinced the committee of its advantages, especially to the spectator who pays the games bills, Porter said.
 The present board, in use for sev- eral years, is six feet wide and four feet high. The new type board Is approximately one-third smaller, down to 54 inches width and 36 inches height.
 The extra vertical foot was chop ped from below, establishing the basket ring on the bottom edge. The top of the new board is rounded.
 Better Shots
 Here are the advantages as listed by Porter:
 There is much greater visibility for spectators from the corner. and behind the board. The net Is almost entirely visible. .
 The smaller target promotes greater accuracy in shooting and minimizes wild-shooting by per- centage" players who hope that a long, wild toss may bounce of the board through the net.
 The new board permits more ofs fensive use of the four feet hoor space behind the blackboard. At the same time, 1t scatters the defense and the frequent punching Of all 10 players beneath basket.
 Insofar as the spectators are ben- efited Porter frankly admitted that basketball like any other sport, has an eye on the box office.
 May Be Used Now
 "The regular floor is only 90 feet long and limits choice viewpoints to sideline seats, thereby discourag- ing many potential customer" he explained. "These streamlined boards make the baskets visible from any seat in a gymnasium"
 The new smaller boards have not yet been legalized by the rules com mittee though, of course, they may be usel by mutual consent between any two teams.
 Porter predicted that the new board would be part of the regula- tions within five years.
 "The biggest obstacle to their gen. eral installation now Is the extrs cost involved in thousands of small gymnasiums in this country" ht said. However, the same problem confronts any instrument of pro- gress. No game can afford to limit itself indefinitely to models de- signed decades ago."
 Gradual Change
 He suggests that schools desiring to experiment should install the smaller boards on cross-courts and the exchange between regular court and cross-court boards could be made as moe future date.
 considering the cost, think that public interest in watching the new style of game would more than pay for the boards in a few games,' Porter said. ..
 Discussing another basketball change, Porfter expressed the opin. ion that the trend toward use oi white or yellow basketballs was only fad"
 Much of the complain about poor visibility of the darker balls is due to other conditions in the gymnasium such as poor illumirla' ton or dark dead" floors" he said

Dom DiMaggio Comes To Red Sox In P'ayer-Cash Deal

Boston, Nov. 13--(uP)-Bespec- tacled Dominic DiMaggio, Pacific Coast-League fielding sensation, will come to the Boston Red SoX in a trade involving more cash than the New York Yankees paid for his eld- est brother Joe DtMaggio,
 The trade was announced last night by General Manager Eddie Collins. DiMaggio and southpaw- pitcher Larry Powell of the San Francisco Seals become property of the Boston club for two unnamed members of the Sox team and cash exceeding $25, 1000 paid to bring Joe DiMaggio to the World Champion Yankees.
 No definite cash sum was mem toned however. Collins said man. ager Joe Cronin completed the deal.
 Collins said DiMaggio, whose brother Vince is member of the National League champion Cincin- natl Reds, would report for spring training with the Red Sox at Sara sota, Fla.
 The New York Giants and the Chicago Cubs reportedly also had sought the youngest member of the DiMaggio family. Only last week he was voted the most valuable player on the west coast.
 Though listed as a centerfielder by the seals, the 2l-year-old DiMag- gio plays any outfield position. He broke into the Seals lineup at mid- season in 1887. During the past sea son he finished with the leaders batting .350 average.
 Powell, also 2l, termed an "excel- lent pitcher by Collins, will remain with the San Francisco club next season.
