Rookie Reese, Dodger Hater, Now With Club
RY PAUL sCHEFFRLs


 Limited Press Stan correspOndent)
 New York, Feb. 7.-(UP).-The little man who didn't want to play with the Brooklyn Dodgers but changed his mind-Rookie Harold ROose- has only one obstacle to be- coming the team's regular shortstop, Manager Leo Durochers said today and that's flrSt-string shortstop Leo Durocher.
 Durocher, who shepherded Out fielder Roy Cullenbine via plane from Miami t. New York to sign a Brooklyn contract, revealed that he figured on playing in well over a 100 games this year.
 Reese may or may not be aS good as he's cracked up to be-" said Durocher. Even if he is, I don't think he'll be able to open the sea- son and continue effectively under the sort of pressure you work un- der at shortstop. No rookie could be that good, but if he is, the Jobs his. I'll teach hin all know anyhow"
 Reese, whose nickname "Peewee" puts into one word his greatest ham dicap, has only one claim to major league fame now-former antipathy for the Dodgers.
 The late Cap Neal, former man. ager of the Louisville Colonels, sign- ed Reese while he was playing with an industrial team in 1888. Neal in- terviewed the 19-year-old prospect and asked: "Son, how would you like to play with the. Colonels?"
 Dodgers Out
 Reese shocked Neal with: "I'm not so sure I would. You see I don't think I'd like playing with the Brooklyn Dodgers" Louisville had working agreement with Brook lyn at that time.)
 In two years with the Colonels, the then scrawny, 120-pound Reese grew into 8 five-foot ten star who was definite asset to the club. He batted .277a in his first year and last year was one Of the topnotch shortstops in the American associa- tion.
 He stole the most bases, 35 and

BINGHAM RAPS
 GRAD INFLUENCE
 OVER ATHLETICS
Harvard Director Sees Common Policy on Ath-
 Ietics as Impossible

Boston, Feb. 7- (UP) = Athletic Director William J. Bingham of Harvard University believed today outside influences and outside pres sure" must cease and that college authorities must make final decis- ions if there is to be Q common policy of amateurism in collegiate athletics.
 Alumni pressure $ bringing pro- fessionalism into sport in many col- leges, Bingham charged last night in an international radio address.
 Intercollegiate athletic policies are still being compromised" he said, land many college presidents, upnder pressure of alumni groups are yielding to modified systems of athletic subsidies and proselyting practices.
 "The administrators of endowed institutions have had little more freedom in determining athletic policy than have the presidents of state institutions" ..
 Scoring deceit" and hypocrisy" by professional athletes posing as amateurs in colleges, Bingham said:
 'If we cannot con6dct our inter- collegiate program without sub- sidizing our atheltes or proselyting prospective athletic candidates-let us frankly admit that we have gone the whole professional way and that henceforth we shall pay our athletes for their services"
 In discussing collegiate athletics and their part in undergraduate life, Bingham said he was opposed to giving the game back to the boys" !" since undergraduates do not have time to properly supervise and plan sports programs.
 Too Important
 MT. Hutchins (President Robert Hutchins of University of Chicago may not like college football, and other college president may deplore the fact that intercollegiate athletics have occupied too important a place in the minds of many under graduates, and more unfortunately, of far too many gracuates," Bing- ham said.
 'But wise college administrators appreciate that because it is good for growing boys to exercise, to play, and to compete in recreational ac- tivities, 1t si ever wiser to keep a watchful, If not paternal, eye on the development of the athletic program"
 Bingham said that collegiate athletic programs have grown with out regard to sound policy and often over- expanded. He believed that the depression meant the sa- crifice of some traditions and too many ideals" resulting in adoption of professional tactics. T am afraid we can never have 8 policy of amateurism which will be acceptable to scholastic institu- tions throughout the country" he said. we could have a common policy if the administrators of each college could have the final decis- ion in the matter, but outside in- fiuences and outside pressure have always been deciding factors when athletic prestige has been threat ened."

Grand Mercantile
By JIMMY TRIBUNE

What @ wek of upsetS and not even the experts expected anything like 1t. First the Hotel Elton boys knocked the Town Tavern boys from Pillar to Post and back to Oakville with a two game loss tied to them, then along come the Kissing Kiesel Boys and when the smoke had cleared they knocked the Grand Five for two game loss and sent the Guerrero Boys home talking to themselves and along came the Canal Lunchers and they slam banged the Monarch boys for a three game licking and that's some thing when the High Pressure boys bow three straight.
 Happy Herman the best looking boy in his family was all smiles when Lonesome Lud Jasilunas, Augie Ripper Kiesel, Goose Reihl and Schitzel rolled in old time form and climbed a step nearer the top.
 The Elton boys were not surprised to shellack the Town Tavern boys especially when they found out that Wolf Carangelo would be on the fir- ing line for them, Andy Manzo, Johnny Lucewicz, Paul Tulacro, Johnny Metz and the world famous Jimmy Tribune all clipped in to make 1t a gala evening.
 Rocco Daddon and Doc Cofran- cesco along with the Prof. Mango have something to fear from now on with the teams hitting their stride. Come along boys we enjoy the competition.
 The Canal Lunchers with Hoochy Coochy Moochie missing hit the timber plenty and Pippily Ferraro, Casanova Maps, Bike Cocco and Fats Mango are definitely on the way up. Keep up the good, work boys and keep after the Grand Five. Anyone hear from Johnny Dundee, Rover Rovero, Rocky Palomba or Kelly Grazio2 We can't seem to find T. Perrazella either.
 The hard fighting Monarch boys led by Bingo Bill Geaney and ably assisted by Charcoal Gaglione, Bouncer Conte, Butsy Butler and Justa Call Me the x-Prez Rinaldi will be in there fighting tonight so watch out.
 Look for more surprises this week and don't forget to beat the Grand.
