For Slab Pair
Prove They'll Spend
In Buying GoIehouse
And OstermueIIer
By ROMNEY WHEELER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ATLANTA. Dec. 4-Baseballs
minor leagues took the stage today
with official opening of their seth
annual convention, but the majors
grabbed the spotlight with the ring
of cash on the barrel-head.
The st. Louis Browns, here with
advance billing as club willing to
peel its bank roll for player strength,
did just that in a surprise move on
the eve of the National Association
of Professional Baseball Leagues
parley.
Brown President Donald Barnes
announced purchase of Fritz Oster-
mueller and Denny Galehouse. two
good journeyman pitchers, from the
Boston Red Sox for an unspeclfled
sum in cash. and indicated the club
also was interested in a depend
able catcher"
Now Are Seeking Catcher.
Unofficial figures put the probable
price for Ostermueller and Gale
house at $4,000. Ostermueller last
season was credited with five wins
and nine defeats, while Galehouse
won six and dropped six The
Browns were said to be dickering
| for catcher.
Meanwhile Connie Mack acquired
a promising Southern League pitcher
for the Philadelphia Athletics. In
a straight swap with the Atlanta
Crackers, the lanky patriarch gave
Ed Heusser, a right-handed subma-
rine baller, for Atlanta's Luman
Harris. One of the Crackers main
stays last season, Harris won II and
lost 8. Heusser was a disappoint-
ment with the AS winning six and
losing thirteen. Cracker Manager
Paul Richard. however, was opti-
mistic regarding Heusser. recalling
he won 10 and lost 7 for Memphis
in 1899.
There were recurrent but uncon-
firmed reports that the Southern
champion Nashville Vols were nego-
tiating for sale of Boots Poffer-
berger, 26-game winner last season
in the Southern Association after a
spectacular washout with Brooklyn.
Similar speculation centered on con-
ferences between newly-appointed
General Manager Jim Gallagher of
the Chicago Cubs and Larry Mac
Phail. president of the Dodgers. Ru-
NOR tagged Brooklyn's pitcher Luke
Hamlin likely to 60 to the Cubs In
exchange for an outfielder. possibly
Augie Galan or Jim Gleason Gal
lagher and MacPhail. however, de-
precated talk of a deal
Red Sox Seek Slabmen.
Manager Joe Cronin of the Boston
Red SoX meanwhile indicated he was
in the market for one or more good
pitchers. but no negotiations were
reported.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Crackers
announced acquisition of Flea Cliff
ton, utility infielder, from Toronto in
the International League in a trade
for Dewey Williams, second-string
catcher.
An earlier sale sent Infielder Stu
Martin of the st. Louis Cardinals
to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash.
The minor leaguers program
called for an opening business ses-
sion. followed by formidable dis
cussion. Kenesaw M. Lands, COM
missioner of baseball, is to address
the convention at its annual ban

Light calisthenics this afternoon
were scheduled for happy group Of
Geogetown football players with
heavier drills almost Immediately
thereafter to prepare them for an
invasion of Miami on New Year
Day to meet Mississippi State in the
annual Orange Bowl classic.
The Hilltoppers haven't been COM
pletely out of training since ending
their regular schedule against
George Washington 10 days ago. but
kinks and stiffened muscles have de-
veloped which need ironing before
they can engage in scrimmage and
signal drills Coach Jack Hagerty Is
preparing for them.
Georgetown's period of nervous
waiting for post-season game
ended last night with an invitation
from the Orange Bowl Committee.
The bid promptly was accepted and
general satisfaction was expressed
in the Georgetown dormitories,
which were ablaze with lights long
after regular hours last nigth. that
the Hoyas' great team was receiving
trip richly deserved after a three
year period during which it lost only
one game

Only blotch on the Hoya record
in that time was a defeat by Boston
College. 1918. little over two weeks
ago, with slight smudge, 1913 tie
with Syracuse holding over from last
season.
This will be Georgetown's first
bowl trip. Catholic University pre-
ceded 1t to the Orange Bowl in 1896,
winning thrilling 2o-19 encounter
with Mississippi. Mississippi State
has been to the Orange Bowl before,
losing to Duouesne, 1918, in 1887.
The team fell apart the next year,
however, only to be pulled up during
the last two years by a new coach.
Like Georgetown, Mississippi
States Maroons present a big. fast
team composed mostly of seniors and
they have an even better record this
year with only a tie, TT. with Au-
burn preventing a 10-game clean
slate. On the basis of comparative
scores and schedules and several
national rating lists, State already
has been installed a slight favorite.

Georgetown is the No. team in the

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The coaches,
who have to see to it that football
players learn rules and abide by
them. don't want any major changes
in the code this year.
Their agreement on that subject
was so unanimous that Lou Little
of Columbia. chairman of the
Coaches Rules Committee which
makes suggestions to the national
committee. didn't even send out his
usual QUESTIONABLE. Still there
were a dozen or so pet" ideas that
turned up in the annual Associated
Press survey of suggested rules
changes.
Most prominently mentioned
change was in an Interpretation
rather than in the actual forward
passing rule, where it affects buck
laterals. The suggestion, coming
from Missouri, was that it should
be made legal to hand the ball for
ward on buck laterals that develop
into forward passes and end-arounds.
Other observers this season have
expressed dissatisfaction with the
rulings on this play because of the
difficulty in determining whether
the ball moved forward or was
passed laterally on the play.
Other suggestions listed were:
l. To adopt the professional rule
permitting forward passes to be made
from any point behind the scrim-
mage line tom Stidham, Oklahoma,
and Skip Palrang, Creighton).
2. Reduction of the penalty for
downfield laterals which are thrown
forward after plays from scrimmage

COLLEGE STATION, Tex. Dec.
4.-The Texas Aggies are going to
perform before the home folks If
they play post-season football
game.
They turned down invitations to
the Orange Bowl at Miami and
British relief game at Los Angeles
to appear in the Cotton Bowl jan
uary l against Fordham. if asked to
play IN the Dallas classic.
No invitation will be extended by
the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association
until after Saturdays game between
Southern Methodist and Rice at
Houston. Unless that game results
in tie, the winner will finish in
deadlock with A. and M. for first
place in the Southwest Conference
The Cotton Bowl Association has
tie-up with the conference calling
for its champion to play in the an
nual game.
Last night it was reported in
Montgomery. Ala, that John Kim
brough, Marshall Robnett, Tommy
Vaughn and Jim Thomson of the
Aggies had accepted invitations to
play in the North-South game De-
cember %. But another meeting of
the squad was held after the four
had communicated with North
South officials and it was decided
they would not play at Montgomery
if A. and M. is invited to the Cotton
Bowl.
The general opinion was that A.
and NJ, which defeated both S. M. U.
and Rice in conference play, would
be asked to meet Fordham.
