Tulane and Aqs
May Repeat
Next Year
Both Retain Enough
Talent to Come
Through Again
BY MORTIMER KREEGER,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3-Any
Rip Van Wrinkle who started a 12-
month nap on New Year Eve might
awake and pick up just where he
left off-in time to see Texas A. &
NJ in the Sugar Bowl with Tulane
on January !, 1941
It's just possibility and not q
prediction, but the teams that
fought each other all over the lot
Monday will be back next fall with
clubs that might well repeat their
1889 records.
The Texas Aggies, who beat Tu-
lane, 14-13, after winning all 10
games in their regular season, left
word behind as they headed back
to the Great Plains yesterday that
they might be even greater in the
coming campaign.
Keep KimbrOugh, Other Stars.
And they backed that up with q
reminder that eight of their regu-
lars would return to harness. These
eight include big John Kimbrough,
all-America fullback; Marshal Foch
Robnett, second-team all-America
guard; Derace Moser, feet fullback,
and Jim Thomason, fine blocking
back.
Gone will be Walemon Price, pass
f1inging quarterback: Joe Boyd,
third-team all-America tackle, and
Herbert Smith, ll-Southwestern
guard.
However, capable replacements are
available in Marion Pugs and Mar
land Jeffrey, quarterbacks; Fuel
Wesson, 222-pound tackle, and Bill
Buchanan, who split the right end
assignment with Jim Sterling. The
greatest freshman team in A. and M.
history is sending some mighty fine
boys upstairs.
Dozen Return at Tulane.
Tulane loses 10 regulars-but will
have u back. It's all because of
that two-team system. Five men
will be missing from each eleven
that alternated at the quarters dur
ing the season.
These include Bob Kellogg. all
Southeastern Conference halfback;
Buddy Banker, his running mate;
Ralph Wenzel, end, and Monette
Butler, second" team fullback, who
was Tulane's most consistent ground
gamer against the Aggies.
Replacing these men will be task,
of course, but Tulane's reserve
strength was such that some of the
ablest men on the squad were held
out for the season because they were
not needed.
These included Jim "Bubber" Ely.
said to be the best passer and as
good a runner as any halfback on
the campus; Leonard Sauer, another
back: Bob Crush, quarterback, and
several good linemen.

Ohio State, Wisconsin,

Big Ten Going

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Ohio State,
Iowa and Wisconsin haven't any,
thing to fear from the Big Ten
basket ball race-they can't do any
worse than they have been doing
in recent weeks on the hardwood
courts.
These three teams go into title
competition Saturday night with
the least imposing records of any
conference rivals.
Iowa lost four of seven games.
Wisconsin, the only Big Ten team
in action last night, bowed to STAN
ford, 80 to 26, for the Badgers
fourth straight setback after two
victories.
Ohio State, defending champion,
won two early season games then
fell before Kentucky, Pittsburgh
and Cornell in succession. Tonight
the Bucks wind up their pre-title
campaign in a game with Cali
fornia at Columbus. All other
teams already have completed their
preliminary battling, with 48 vic
tories and 16 defeats against out
side competition.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. s.
Boxing is In bad way as it goes
into the new year.
It is staggering and reeling from
the repeated beatings it took during
1889, beatings handed out by the
very men who should be its most
ardent supporters and who make
their living from the game.
One has to 60 back a great many
years to find like condition. The
present situation has been grow
ing for the last few years, as is
evidenced by such cases as have
come to public notice-the Jack
Torrance case in Louisiana, the
Adamick- -Trammell case in Illinois
and last year the Harry Thomas ex-
pose.
But these are only the highlights
of what has occurred. Many other
minor situations have arisen which
had a tendency to give boxing a
black eye in the minds of its fans.
Ignore Fans knowledge.
1t seems almost inconceivable
that boxing promoters and so-called
boxing managers (many of whom
should be classed only as rubbers
and trainers cannot get the idea
into their heads that the boxing fan,
the man who supports their game,
knows just as much and probably a
great deal more about the fighters
than do boxing commissions, pro-
moters and managers.
Then why is it that a promoter
will try to foist upon the public
matches which he knows are really
not matches at all but only exhi-
billions and which, even as exhibi-
tions, would be classed as poor?
At least we have accomplished
something this year which is, in
our opinion, very beneficial to the
game. We have done away entirely
with two-title and three-title cham
pions.
This is not intended in any way
to detract from that marvellous
fighter, Henry Armstrong, who held
three titles at one time. Neverthe-
less, such procedure eminently
was unfair to the top-ranking boys
in at least two of the divisions of
which Armstrong was champion.
1t was almost impossible to ask the
public to enthuse over a feather
weight championship bout when the
champion of that class also was
lightweight and welterweight cham
pion of the world.
Picking Own Referee an Evil.
Armstrong relinquished his feath-
erweight title, was defeated by Lou
Ambers, who regained his light
weight title, and at the present time
Armstrong is the legitimate welter-

PHILADELPHIA, jan 3.-Connie
Mack, who can look back upon n
eventful years, peered into 1910 to-
day and decided he was not picking
the New York Yankees ito win
again this season."
New York has a good club, but
so has Boston, Cleveland and De-
troit, and with any kind of breaks
they'll give the Yankees plenty of
trouble" the venerable veteran of
the Philadelphia Athletics opined.
He limited the AS, who lost 18
games to the champs last year
might even cause trouble in 1910.
AS Won't Be So Easy.
''I11 say one thing, we're going
to have an improved team over last
year and the Yankees won't win
anything like 18 games from us
again"
But" he added quickly, you
never can tell in baseball"
The Athletics open spring training
at Anaheim, Calf, February 20 and
play the opening game of a heavy
practice schedule March 3.
"One ball game does more good at
a training camp than four days of
practice" Mack explained. 1T takes

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Lew An
dreas, who has kicked around this
basketball game nearly two decades,
figures the time is coming when
separate sets of rules will be drawn
for colleges and high schools to
get away from some effects of the
modern "horse-race' court sport.
This modern game, with the CEN
ter jump eliminated the veteran
coach of Syracuse basketball said to-
day, "is like watching a table ten
mis- match. The ball is always 60
ing back and forth with no stop.
It's great to watch, but it puts
severe strain on the youngsters.
Physicians have told us that"
Too Hard on Youngsters.
The result, he added, may be
that the rules will be changed for
younger players. the high schoolers.
He pointed out that at a recent
meeting of educators an upstate

high-pressure action in present bas-
ketball causes increased blood pres
sure and strain on the performers.
$50 it's altogether likely" Andreas
went on, that the center jump will
be legislated back into high school
ball to slow up the game somewhat
and relieve this pressure on the
youngsters. 1t isn't so bad for COL
lege players, largely because they're
more fully developed. In addition,
there is rigid physical examination
in most colleges.
Not only that. but the modern
game, with it's speed and high scor-
ing, is what attracts the spectators.
And where the turnstiles are con-
cerned, that means lot in any
sport"

The boys themselves won't say

were the Cardinals about IS per

was about so per cent right. Wayne
Millner, the Redskin end who dou-

far from a squawker. Wayne

he had plenty to say about the Of

larly about the run by Young Joe
Guyon which would have set up a
probable touchdown for the Brook

Only One Signal.
"They called that play back for
offside after Guyon ran the ball
to the two-yard line" said Wayne.
What puzzles me is how anyone
could have been offside. The
backs couldn't have been in mo-
ton, because under the system we
use on that play there is only one
signal. Pete Sachon, the quarter
back, called hike and the ball
was snapped. Not a player shifts
or leaves his position on that play.
Yet the officials called us offside.

done it.
Again, Rocco Pirro was sprint

feet of the side line, yet the lines
man blew his whistle and called
him out. What he saw was an at
tempted tackle by a Temke boy
who did step outside. We sure
didn't get all the breaks in that
ball game"
But there aren't any sour grapes
among the coaches or the squad.
"Our timing was off," said Line
Coach Cotton. I'VE couldn't seem
to snap into it."

If the lads back at Brookland see

President Signs New Order Placing Commodities
 on Export Ban List

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Presi- dent Roosevelt has added petroleum products, scrap iron and other scrap metal to the list of commo- dities subject to possible embargo. The President has signed the order subjecting these commodities to a system of export licensing, should it be deemed necessary.
 Soon after the order was signed and announced, Secretary of Treas ury Morgenthau confirmed the stoppage of two shipments of oil to Spain.
 Keep Essentials Here
 The order placing the commodi- ties on the embargo list amended the proclamation issued July 2 and designed to keep in this country materials essential to national de- fense
 White House Secretary Stephen Early said the order did not pro- vide control of shipments to other countries while Secretary Morgen- thau could supply no reasons for oil shipment stoppages.
 It is learned elsewhere that a virtual embargo has already been established to prevent oil reaching Germany and Italy through Spain.

JAPANESE PURCHASES

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Oil and shipping men revealed today that Japanese purchases of high test aviation gasoline have mounted to millions of gallons on the Pacific Coast during the past few weeks. Additional purchases were said to have been made in Gulf of Mexico ports.
 It was estimated that about 15,- 100000 gallons of aviation gasoline above normal purchases. have been contracted by Japanese purchasing agents on the Pacific Coast and about 5,0O0,000 gallons on the Gulf
 Shipping men said that a pro- vision of the gasoline purchases is that the fuel must be delivered in the Orient by September l. It is to be delivered in 50-gallon drums which can be easily and quickly handled, rather than in the bulk by oil tankers.
