Atherton Appointed Gar
Of Coast Conference; to
Enforce Hiring Rules

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6. UP)-
Edwin N. Atherton, former G-man
who spent two years finding out
how the Pacific coast conference
colleges get their athletic stars. en-
barked today on a new job of seeing
to it that they stick to the rules
henceforth.
Atherton was hired by the con-
ference as its athletic commissioner
or "czar" over such matters as
Reconsideration. The confer
ence adopted a half dozen new
rules tor him to enforce. These
cracked down on the matter OF
entertaining high school stars and
oaying their way through the COL
lege to which they were lured.
Atherton. who made a $4,000 re-
port on athlete hiring for the con-
ference, was hired for a three year
term starting last Jan. l. Herb
Dana's office of commissioner of
athletic officials was abolished.
It was announced that Atherton's
duties will be primarily to compile
and record facts regarding the COM
pliance or non-c compliance of in
dividuals and institutions with con-
ference rules" This was inter-
preted 10 mean that he is to go on
with his investigation. but hence
forth with authority to do some
thing about correcting abuses he
may find.
Atherton will devote his full time
to the job but will retain con-
nection with his private investiga-
ton firm of San Francisco and
Los Angeles. This was allowed
because his relations to the con-
ference will be substantially that
of an expert who is retained for a
special job which he is equipped to
handle
The conference made start at
providing machinery for enforce
ment of subsidization rules. Enter
tainment and free trips for pros
pective athletes were tabooed, even
by alumni trying to boost their alma
matters teams. Violation of the rule
will render the athlete ineligible.
So-called athletic scholarships"
were dealt hard blow. The con-
ference announced adoption of a
rule aimed at the assurance of
uniform conference practices in the
elimination of illegal aid given
athletes before or after enrolment.
Illegal aid. in general, is any aid
givt n athletes and not open to all
stuoents and for which aid whether
in the form of money, board, etc,
is given primarily for athletic rea-
sons"
A 1other rule is aimed at the
prevention of diversion of athletic
funds into scholarships, loans or
donations for the substituting of
athletes"
The penalty was stiffened for
suppressing or falsifying information
about a players athletic eligibility.
There was one ray of hope for
the athlete-a rule designed to allie
viate 1.-The hardShips caused by the
loss Of time from regular employ
ment through injuries, illness and
necessary absence on athletic trips"
Conference faculty representatives
adjourned their meeting last night.

ALL-STARS PLAY TONIGHT

FAV0RITE EDGE
College Stars Wind Up Prac-

Short Signal Drill
Rv EARL HILLIGAN

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-PNThe
Green Bay Packers world profess
sional football champions, will be
out to salve a ranking, three year
old gridiron sore tomorrow night
at Soldier field.
Before a throng which may hit
the IS, ZOO MARYLAND constitute a
record for the series-the Packers
will meet the college All-Stars In
the seventh Pro-All-Stars spectacle.
An dthe Green Bay club, holder
of more National Pro league titles
than any other team in that tough
circuit, will have a double barreled
reason for wanting to win.
The Packers No. l incentive un-
doubtedly will be the 6 to 0 lick
ing they took in 1887 from the ALI
Stars forces. That defeat really did
hurt, for if ever a team came to
town expecting to win easily, 1t was
the Packers of that year.
Secondly, the Packers must WIN
tomorrow night OF see the All
Stars take a lead in the series that
started in 1888. Each side now has
won twice. The Chicago B-e-a r
were victorious in 1885 and the
New York Giants won last fall,
with the All Stars taking the 1897
and 1888 games. The 1884 and 1896
contests were ties. Accordingly, an
ALI Star triumph would put a dent
in the professionals prestige.
The game, should the turf be
dry and fast, may produce one OF
the most spectacular battles Of the
series. Green Bay has one OF the
all time great passing -combina-
tons, with Arnie Herber tossing to
Don Hutson and Cecil Isbell. With
the collegians also having such &C
curate Fingers as Nile Kinnick, Ken
Heineman and Kenny Washington,
the fans may be treated to a dis
play of brilliant aerial warfare.
Coach Curley Lambeau will not
announce a starting lineup until
the kickoff, scheduled for 800 p.
m. Chicago Daylight time), but
his opening backfield likely will
consist of Larry Craig at block
ing back, Arnie Herber and Cecil
Isbell at the halfbacks and Clark
Hinkle at fullback.
The All Star starting backfield
will be Andy SCHNEIDER, quarter
back, Kinnick and Lou Brock at the
halves and Joe Thesing at fullback.
Head Coach Eddie Anderson, how
ever, has indicated that this four
some may see the heaviest duty;
Kinnick, Frank Emmons, Washing
ton and Harold van Every. 2

By GLENWARD BLOMME

If perseverance proves to be the
deciding factor in the future of
football at New Hanover High
school then the Wildcats should
come through with flying colors.
. Yesterday afternoon more than
40 young players, stripped down to
their training pants and shoes, dug
their cleats into the dust and grass
of ROTC field and went through an
early season drill which looked
more like mid-season practice
than only the third day of work
outs.
With the heat bearing down on
their sun-tanned bodies, they went
through blocking and charging
drills without let-up from $3.50 un-
til 5 o'clock with Coach Rupert
Bryan driving them at almost top
speed. The hard work produced
results for at the end of the ses-
sion the lads we're getting down

and the hard working coach led

Head Coach Bob Black was not
any too easy on his backfield
charges and kept the runners
working hard on a passing attack
with Kenneth Fuller pitching both
long and short aerials to 16 other

The head mentor also sent his

drill and run back of kicks and
sent them to the showers after a

Pirates Beat Leland In Walk-Away, 15-2

SLATED FRIDAY
Bears Score All Runs In First
Inning; BUGS Go On Ram
page In Late Stanzas

The Wilmington Pirates won a
ball game last night 1872 from the
Leland Bears while the scorekeeper
went slowly and quietly mad.
Everything happened in the game
that is allowed to happen.
But as a result of the two teams
each having won n game, they
will meet again Friday night at
Legion field in the final contest of
their three-game tilt series to de-
termine which team is the better.
Last night the Bears sarted like
a house afire. c. Clark flied out
to first base, but Workman hit and
scored when Clark hit a three-bag-
ger. Allen doubled to bring Clark
in for the second tally, but David
Watson flied to second, as did H.
Brew, and the side was retired.
In their half of the first the
Pirates did not look SO hot with
Stefano getting as far as second
but with no one else even threat
ening to reach first.
Skipper bore down in the second
and struck out three men in a
row.
But in their half of the second
the BUGS really went to town.
Trodgen singled and Carter reach

Dean Is Going Back
To Cubs From Tulsa Outfit

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-R-Jerome
Herman Dizzy Dean, once one
of the greatest righthanded pitch
ers in baseball, is coming back to
the Chicago Cubs.
Recall of the lanky hurler from
Tulsa of the Texas league was an
nounced today by the Cub mana
ger. Gabby Hartnett, who said he
hoped to have Dean ready for duty
in the Cincinnati series opening
here Sept. 7.
The eccentric, colorful mounds
man, who won 80 games to lead
the st. Louis Cardinals to a pen
nant in 1884, has been with Tulsa
since early in June. He'd asked to
be sent there so he could expert
ment with a new side arm delivery
after he had started five times for
the Cubs and completed only one
game.
Dean. who cost the Cubs $185, 900
in cash and three players in 1888
now faces his great chance to re-
