Foday's Sport Parade

ard school spirit to ignore then
when bowl trip comes along,
The life of a college bandsmar
isn't too much fun. Not under the
exacting demands made on a college
musician these days. He not only
has to spend hours practicing music
but he must also spend as many
hours marching and rehearsing the
intricate maneuvers that modern
bands go through. He is, a combi-
nation musician. soldier, ballet
dancer. and clothes horse. And he
has to know the English language,
too, because bands spell out every
thing under the sun. Suppose you
had been a capital T all season or,
worse still, a semi-colon, and then
were denied a trip where you could
have some fun and show off be-
fore 10000 folks?
I feel even more strongly about
the Nebraska band getting to the
Rose Bowl than I did Tennessee's.
This is because of the difference
in climate between the cities of
and Lincoln. Knoxville
is fairly pleasant in the fall and
winter, and a bandsman can par
ade before the game, between the
halves, and afterwards, with some
degree of comfort. But. a gridiron
in Lincoln in the winter needs only
a couple of wolves and a few guys
who speak Russian. to double for
the steppes. Imagine playing a
flute when it's below. or wrapping
up in a frosty tuba and |
marching out tc blow it in the |
.eeth of a blizzard.

LOUIS FIGHT ON COAST
WOULD BE EXHIBITION

LOS ANGELES, Dec. II. (UP)-
Chairman Jerry Giesler of the Cal
ifornia Athletic commission said
today that a proposed Joe Louis
Arturo Godoy fight at Los An
geles probably will be approved by
the commission only as an eXhi-
bltion and at popular prices.
The people OF Los Angeles want
to see Joe Louis in action" said
Glesler, and for that reason the
commission undoubtedly will ap-
prove a fight here featuring the
champion.

by HENRY McLEMORE--

LOS ANGELES. Dec. IL. (UP)-
just year ago today I wrote a
piece saying it was a dirty shame
that Tennessee wasn't going TO
bring its band to the Rose Bowl,
and even went SO far as to urge
the Tennessee musicians to beat
their instruments into bludgeons
and whack the stingy athletic dr.
ectors over the heads with them.
This had such an electric effect
that when Rose Bowl day rolled
around the Tennessee band was still
back in the hills of Knoxville and
the sacred and martial tunes of
the school were played by some.
such organization as the Pasadena
department of sanitation band or.
the Burbank p. S. 43 fife and drum
corps. Is it any wonder that the
Tennessee players, with such in
spirational music to key them up.
went out and got the daylights
licked out of them?
Now another Rose Bowl game is
approaching and Nebraska's Corn
huskers are coming out to play.
And l don't believe the. train reser-
vations they have made include
any tickets, berthS or standing
room for the Nebraska band. Un-.
less my information is wrong the
band will get no closer to the New
Years game than the huge statue
Of the Sower atop the state capi-.
tol in Lincoln. In fact, the Sower |
will probably have better view
of the game than the bandsmen,
being as he towers some 400 feet
In the air.
Wen. I'm, not a man who lets
one failure discourage him. so let's
launch another crusade, this time
In behalf of the Nebraska band.
Mind YOU, my interest in bands
isn't because I'm musically inclined,
The only thing can play is the
ponies, and don't play them very
well. I just feel it's unfair to the
boys who contribute so much tow :

Within a half hour after the ma
jor leagues had passed a long-dis-
puted amendment enabling major
league clubs to sign players foi
minor league affiliates, one of the
commissioners pet hates, Lands
cracked down yesterday on the Phil
lies and Dodgers in the case OF
Pitcher Reuben Melton.
1t wasn't much of deal, but the
74-year-old czar apparently believed
the spirit of the draft law was being
violated and despite bitter argument
he blocked the transfer of Melton
to Brooklyn.
In the joint session yesterday,
the major leagues voted to extend
the commissioners contract to 1916,
created a disability list not to ex-
ceed two, and limited all clubs to
seven home games at night.
This last proposal submitted by
the American league for the benefit
of the st. Louis Browns who last
year were permitted IA night games,
caused stormy debate. The Amerl-
can league voted against proposal to
limit all clubs to seven, but the ma
tional league voted for it. Lands
broke the deadlock by voting with
the National league.
In regard to military draft, the
two leagues decided to create a ma
tional defense service list, similar
to the voluntary retirement list,
upon which all ball players accepted
for military service would be placed
until their release from the U. S.
armed force.
