Boston College
 Uses TT Formation In Many Games
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent)

New York, Dec. 12.-(UP)-That TT formation is in the news again today-and this time it's in con- nection with Boston College. Ever since the Chicago Bears wall loped the Washington Redskins with this ancient formation, the country has gone ga-ga over the intricacies of a system that is as old as foot ball.
 So last night Frank Leahy, coach of the team which meets Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl on New Years day, was almost swamped when he admitted that he used variation of this formation in seven of the ten games that B. c. won.
 Leahy was in New York along with officials of B. c. to receive the Lambert trophy, emblematic of the eastern football championship. Before the soup course was served at a banquet celebrating the occa- sion, the tableclothes were liberally sprinkled with circles and Ks as the mob descended on Leahy to get the low-down on this so-called grid iron cure-all.
 Useful
 Leahy explained that basically Boston College was not a TT" for nation team Ike the Bears, who run every play from it. But he said that three four time sin each of seven games the Eagle backfield lined up in TT" and that the for nation was successful. So success full, in fact for IT touchdowns.
 But before you go out and bet your last clean shirt on B. c. against Tennessee, remember that Bear and Eagle systems are as different as black and white.
 In the Bears T, the quarterback handles the ball on every play, feed- ing it to backfield men who are getting up steam as they pound toward the line or make end sweeps. In addition, the Bears have back field man running literally all the time to serve as decoy, or pass receiver, or to fulfill any of the numerous assignments required in the Bears 300-odd plays run from the T.
 The Boston College quarterback Is its blocking back and he doesn't handle the ball. The Eagles use the 'T" formation only for yrcep- tion. They have no backfieiu man in motion and they don't have 300 plays to operate from this lineup.
 Nevertheless, according to Leahy. Tennessee is going to have it's hands full on New Years day.
 T didn't make the teamit made me. How could coach miss with players like I had when it went to Boston College at the start of the 1889 season? I'm not a great guy the players just make me look good. '
 That's the kind of spirit that might give Tennessee bad start for 1941.

 More credit to Marie Dalton. Marie takes her bowling just Seri- ously enough. She shoots for ev y pin but it isn't life or death mat ter with her when she misses a mark.
 Any successful league requires a certain percentage of good solid bowlerS such as Marie Dalton.
 Bowlers on the type of Pat Dwyer and Doris Braun are also an asset to any league-they have a lot oi life and keep things going. With them around league interest never lags.
 Members of the Scovill's league which follows ours got great kick out of Doris's 115 string Monday nj yht. Working on a mark in the last box, Doris got an eight filler when the ball slipped right out ot her hand.

LANDS BLOCKS PLAYER DEAL
 BY BROOKLYN
Melton, a Pitcher, Cannot Be Sold By Phils for
 $I5,OOO

Chicago, Dec. 12.-(UP)-Kene- saw Mountain Landis removed all doubts today that he is the sole judge of baseball law by refusing to permit a player deal between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Within a half hour after the major leagues had passed long disputed amendment enabling major league clubs to sign players for minor league affiliates, one of the commissioners pet hates, Landis cracked down. on the Phillies and Dodgers in the case of Pitcher Reu- ben Melton.
 Melton had been drafted by the Phillies from the Columbus club of the American Association, member of the St. Louis Cardinal organiza- tion. Brooklyn reportedly had sug- gested the Phillies draft another player, that player to go to Brook lyn for $15,000. The Phillies chose Melton, however, and Brooklyn agree to take him for the same price.
 It was this agreement LandlS dis solved after a two and one half hour conference with Larry Mo- Phail, president of the Dodgers; Gerald P. Nugent, president of the Phillies; and Clarence Rowland, Chi cago Cubs scout. The Cubs also had been interested in Melton.
 American league delegations left town without completing a single trade. The only dealing in the Ma toinal league involved the Cincin- natl Reds, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants.
 The Reds swapped third baseman Lew Riggs to Brooklyn for utility infielder Floyd (Pep) Young and sold outfielder Morrie Arnovich outright to the Giants. The Reds also sent pitcher Milburn Shoffner to Jersey City, Giants farm, in exchange for shortstop Wayne Am bier and cash.

BROTHER OF AGE TEXAS FULLBACK DENIES STORY
Hertz Wants Harmon and KimbOrOugh at $25,OOO Each Is Run1Or

New York, Dec. 12-CUP)-A1l America fullback John Kimbrough of the Texas Aggies had agreed to play with the New York Yankees professional football team next sea- son according to Yankee officials.
 Kimbrough conveniently abSented himself from the AggieS' campus at College Station, Tex, when com- ment was sought, but his brother and roommate, Jack, denied that John had agreed to play with the Yankees.
 According to a telephone an- nouncement by the publicist of Douglas c. Hertz, new owner of the Yankees, Kimbrough had agreed to terms and would arrive by airplane in New York today to sign a con- tract. The publicist disclosed no terms, but the announcement fol- lowed several days of rumor that Kimbrough and Tom Harmon, Michigan's all-America halfback, would be offered $25 900 each to play in the American Football league this year.
 Jack Kimbrough said 'the re- port that John will play for the New York Yankees is not true"
 No Publicity . Jack said that he was in the room with John when his brother talked by long distance telephone to Yan- kee officials in New York.
 There was nothing more to their conversation than an invitation for John to fly to New York for the weekend as guest of the club" Jack said. "They told him they wanted to talk to him and wanted him to meet some of the boys on the club. The Yankee spokesman promised not to exert any pressure on John for an immediate agree ment.
 They told him they wanted no publicity On the offer, and that it was nothing more than a friendly visit. John told them he would make the trip if he could arrange to get away.
 However, since things have been miSrepresented by the club and since the promise of no publicity was broken within few hours, I doubt if John will even take the trouble to make the trip"

Tobacco Road Tramps Here for Annual Hoop
 Visit Saturday

Jim Barton's Tobacco RoaG Tramps will supply Saturday nights opposition for the K. of L. at St Joseph's hall as the Liths seek tc notch their initial triumph of the campaign.
 The Tramps made the Knights look the part of tramps when they showed here last March, gaining a 45-43 triumph as the teams staged a whirlwind second half after reaching the intermission deadlock ed at 16-all.
 The two bad men Of that night will once again be in the visitors lineup Saturday. Center Charley Burkhardt and forward Gentle man" Jim Buckley were the chief culpritS, the former netting IT points and Buckley snaring II to take the leading roles in the tri- umph.
 Burkhardt was a real tower of strength as the husky veteran was all over the floor, working like 8 Trojan under the boards and tossing in several long, set shots when the Knight defense relaxed, obviously daring him to sink the ball through the hoop.
 The boys will have capable com pany, with Jack Ahearn (St. Johns college last year); Charley Dutch" Hoefer Queens college); Dick Cole Manhattan college-leading Long Island pro league scorer last season. and Dick Dixie Lee formerly with the Jewels, Wilkes-Barre, Washing tond and Visitations of the Ameri- can league) all slated to make their appearances.
 The game is set for g o'clock, St. JoSeph's Holy Name facing Water- towns Chestnut Hills in the 7:3O prelim.
 Saturdays contest will be the last for the LithS until the famed Georgia Chain Gang comes to town Christmas night for a basketball dance evening. John Stankus has left Saturday of next week open to give the Knights and the custom CTS an opportunity to get in some late Christmas shopping.
