Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

Los Angeles, December 9-(UP)- Unless someone has been tampering with my diary (and the only sus- poets I can think of are the book of the month club and the watch and ward society," I have traveld 6,200 miles since the first of October.
 All of those miles were travelled for the purpose of looking at foot ball teams. All sorts of football teams. Football teams that were re- cruited, football teams that were as pure as pasteuTized cream, football teams looking for a Bowl bid, foot ball teams that had no hopes and were just playing out the string, and football teams underweather conditions that ranged from freckle cream to artificial respiration for the customers.
 Some of the teams saw were good. Some were bad. Some were interesting and some were dull, be- ing composed, I believe, chiefly of students who were attempting to cure stammering- and stuttering by being run over and trampled. Now the football season is over, save for the Bowl games on January First. And so, now, what are the conclusions that I have drawn after travelling all these miles, watching all these games, talking to these coaches, and speaking to all these alumni? If you'll move forward and sit on the very edge of your chair, and bend your ears gracefully my way, I'll tell you.

NEWF|EEDS EASY
 WINNERS, 51-36
West Sides Close for First Half-'' -''Free for All"
 Breaks Out

Starting easily and playing no harder than they had b in the first half, Norwalk Newfields of the state semi-pro basketball league bore down in the third and fourth periods to come out with 51 to 36 win over the West Side Speedboys, yesterday afternoon at the central YMCA.
 Two fistic miXups between play CTS and spectators were also m- cluded in the messy performance, af- ter a close first half during which long John Stollar kept the Siders in the ball game, which ended 17-16 before the third period "blitzkrieg" and the fighting wrestling feature which was, of course, impromptu. The Newfields Sheehy started the first fracas in the third heat when he and Russ Mclean of the Siders hit the floor together, Scrambling for the ball which Mclean secured and then attempted to get up as Sheehy locked his hands around McLean's middle, pulled him down to the floor and then flopped over on top of him. Mclean came up fight ing. and, by that time, so did other players and not few spectators. La- ter on. another battle broke out, was short-lived, the game went on, with Wilson and Lynch scoring steadily, aided no little by fine floor work on the part of Richell, former Central Ohio State and Danbury court star.
 Pressure On
 When they started to go to work" the Newfields were simply too classy and able for the working Wa terbury kids who looked good until the visitors were told by their coach, Ike Kern, that it was time to take the lead and keep it. A paid atten- dance of less than 300 saw the game, and marked the third straight state league loss for the Siders. Summary:

ROONEY TO FIDDLE
 PITTSBURGH CLUB?

Washington, Dec. g - (U.P0 - Sale of the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise in the National Football League to a young sportsman who will transfer it to Boston appeared imminent today.
 The United Press learned from an authoritative source that Alexis Thompson, wealthy young sports man whose father is president Of the Inland Steel Company, has been dickering with Pittsburgh Owner Art Rooney regarding sale of the club.
 Rooney was reported to favor the sale and the matter was reported to be scheduled for discussion by the executive committee of the league in a meeting starting at 3 p. m. (ESp today.
 The Pirates had a bad year at the box ofiice and Rooney has been re- ported frequently as wishing to sell the club. The sale must be approved however, by the leagues executive committee.
 If the sale is approved and Boston replaces Pittsburgh, it will mark Boston's second appearance in the league. In i935, George Preston Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins, bought the old Boston Braves. Boston,s original team in the league. Two years later, Mar shall changed the name of the team to the Redskins and moved 1t to Washington because of poor sup port in Boston.

 It was the Spartans' steady play CT Joe Began who was the spark pdug of the team while Cowboy" Lovallo shot well for the losers.

named Harmon. He had little something none of the others had, and I suspect it was ham," Yes, show-off. The desire to play to grandstand. I've never known a champion who didn't have it. Har- mon was team player, yes, but somewhere back in his mind was the positive conviction that he, Har- mon, was a part of the American entertainment scheme, and that he shouldn't fail. Like Ruth, like a Cobb, like Tilden, like a Jones, he finally became convinced that he was not winning for himself alone, but for his public. This made a great player greater, His coach, Fritz Cris,er, gave me the best tip off on Harmon.
 T never saw him kick football as much as 25 years in practice. But I never saw him kick that poorly in a game"
 The best player, for one duty, saw was John Kimbrough of the Texas Aggies. He wasn't much of a kicker or a passer, or a defensive man, but he could always get his four and five yards. He had a touch of ham in him, too, and he loafed except when he was called on to perform his speciality. Then he knew the crowd was watching him. Then he delivered.
 The best lineman I saw all year was Bauman of Northwestern, a tackle. I saw him against Minne- sota, and he was here there, and everywhere, doing damage with his 225 pounds. I talked to Milt Piepul, Notre Dame captain, yesterday, and he agreed that Bauman was the best lineman he had seen all year
 The most under-rated player saw was chap named Pugh, the quarterback of the Texas Aggies. He made few headlines, but you'll re- member that the only game the Aggies lost was lost after Pugh was hurt.
 No Swellhead
 The most intelligent player ] talked to during the season was Bill 4C SOIACtOAiGs COuAQlA WllIC Wlldl he said but please believe me that Bill knows all the answers and despite all the publicity he had re- ceived-good and bad-will come out of football a swell kid.
 The two flaShieSt backs I saw all year were JuZwik of Notre Dame (and saw him twice. and Luther of Nebraska. Of the two, Juzwik is the better-he can pass as well as lun-but Stanford can watch Luthre in the Rose Bowl.
 The best end I saw was Ison oi Georgia Tech. This despite the fact that he was injured and shouldn't have been in uniform when saw him. A well Ison is the best end in the country.
 won't try to name the best coach I saw. A fellow would be a fool to try to pick and choose among a group that included Bill Alexan- der, Elmer Layden, Wallace Butts Lou Little, eBrnie Herman, Lynn Waldorf, Biff Jones, Fritz Crisler Home r Norton, Howard Jones Matty Bell, Jess Nicely and the Penn coach, who for the life of me ] can't recall.

METRIC SYSTEM
 OF MEASURE TO
 REMAIN IN AAU
Governors Over-ruIe COm= mittee; Lusetti Rein-
 stated as Amateur"
By CARL REICH Limited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Denver, Dec. 9-(UP)-American Athletes will continue to run and jump at distances and heights measured in meters at A. A. U. sponsored outdoor meets and track fans will have to keep their conver- sion charts handy if they want to know what happened in feet and yards.
 Retention of the metric table by the Board of Governors came as one of two unprecedented reversals of committee recommendations in the final session of the Sand annual AAU convention yesterday. The other was the reinstatement of Hank Luisetti, former Stanford basketball star, to amateur status.
 Although the track and field com- mittee voted unanimously to return to the linear system of measure ment last Friday, the Board of Governors shouted down the change by voice vote in tumultuous session Sunday. Only four delegates raised their voices in support of the return to the yardage scale.
 Bill Thomas of Omaha and Char les Hunter, outgoing fourth vice. president made inspired speeches for the reinstatement of Luisetti who was put on the ineligible list for three years following his ap- pearance in a basketball movie. The Board of Governors then over-ruled the committee recommendation fol the ban to be continued by vote of $1 to IT.
 All of the officers were reelected with the exception of the third anc fourth vice presidents. Philadelphia was awarded the 1941 convention which will be held Nov. 15-17. Roche In Again

 L. M. Mahony, Denver, was elect ed third vice-president, replacing Albert Wheltle, Baltimore, and VII lima Bailey, High Point, N. O., wa named fourth vice-president t succeed Hunter.

Powell, New Haven Coal
 Man, To Buy Boston Bees

Boston, Dec. 9.-(UP)-Sale of the Boston Bees to Albert H. Powell, New Haven, Conn.,, coal merchant and one time vice president of the club, may be announced this week, it was believed here today.
 Charles F. Adams, chain store magnate and majority stockholder in the Bees, said that he and Powell had agreed on a fair value of my interest in the Bees which includes three -fourths of the total shares"
 Adams said he would release the news" as soon as papers were signed.
 Though Adams declined to com ment on purchase price, it was reported he had set value of not less than $40O,O00 on his holdings.
 At New Haven, Powell admitted an agreement had been reached. He said the Bees would be turned over to him as representative of an unnamed syndicate of sportsmen.
 By Invitation
 "The members of this group came to me and invited me to head them in purchasing the Bees" he said. "They believed that because of my years of association with that base ball club could make it a success.
 Powell said he met President Bob Quinn of the Bees yesterday at the New Haven railroad station and dis cussed few major points" Quinn, he said, would act upon these points at the National league baseball meet ing in Chicago. Powel said he had sold his coal business and would de- vote practically his entire time to the Bees.
 Quinn will remain as president and mo extensive changes in the setup of the Bees" will be made, Powell said.
 Despite muddled financial status of the club, Quinn steadfastly has refused to sell his best players such as Eddie Miller Max West, Chet Ross and Bama Powell who played topnotch baseball in the Boston teams winning surge in the late months of the past campaign.
 Case History
 Powell, who has been among prospective purchasers of the Bees for several months. was a part own or of the old Boston Braves when Judge Emil Fuchs took over the franchise in the early 20's. Powell's subsequent retirement caused Adams to invest in the franchise.
 Adams became a majority stock holder when Judge Fuchs severed his connection with the club at the close of the 1885 season. Quinn, who had been general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was named presi- aent by Adams.
 Then baseball Commissioner K. H. handis entered the picture. op- posing Adams as principal stock holder becaufe oG his connection with horse racing as head Of the

honorS are Don Thurman, Gene Grove and Don Hendricks.
 But since Forrest Cox left Kan sas five years ago to take over the depressed cage situation at Boulder, he has built the Buffs into an out fit of national prominence. And If he finds capable material among sophomores, he's likely to do it again this trip.
 Colorado's attack is built around Cot Captains Leason McCloud, lanky forward, and George Hamburg, an aggressive guard who stands 6 feet inches. They are good floor men who fit into swift offense. SHEFFIELD EXPECTED TO STAR FOR UTAH QUINTET Harvey's berth goes to big soph- omore, Dean Strain, and another newcomer, Barney Oldham, is crowd ing several more experienced play CTS at guard.
 Pairing with McCloud at forward is Paul Schmidt. Martin Trotsky, a letterman, rounds out the lineup at guard. Most prominent reserves are Bob Kirchner, a center; Reed Han- non and Dick Shakeshaft, forwards, Dick Emery and Paul McClung, Iguards.
 Lacking the height of Pacific coast teams and others in championship ranks, Frosty Cox depends on the fast break and versatile attack to free a man under the basket.
 Utah, which wound up second in the conference last season, starts the year with six lettermen, together with a junior college transfer and several talented sophomores. Lost by graduation were Nick Watts, all- conference forward, Maynard Lowe, reserve forward.
 The lineup, with the exception of one forward position, will be the same as last year'S-high-scoring Val Sheffield at forward, Vaughn Bennion at center, and Deb Smith and Bill Johnson at the guards. Sheffield was remarkable sopho- more. Mel Atkinson, a letterman, is back as a reserve guard.
 WYOMING AND DENVER
 PLAYERS KNOW COURTS
 Watts forward spot goes to Clair Anderson, a transfer from Snow Junior College, with Kenneth Sow ards, sophomore, a strong con- tender. Reserves lack experience, but are likely to develop by the time the conference race opens.
 The tallest man on the team is Smith, who stands 6 feet 3 1-2 inch es, and the staring five will aver age about feet 1 inch.
 Speed is the key to the Utah at- tack
 Utah State, which finished in third place last trip, may be forced lower this season. Missing are two great players, Floyd Morris, for ward, and Cal Agricola, guard. Evan Baugh at forward and Captain Ro- Ind Reading at guard will be key men on the offenSe.
 Wyoming and Denver, tied with Colorado Sttae for last place in the Big Seven last season, have sea- soned squads which should show vast improvement.

WASHINGTON PARK
 GAMES TONIGHT

Two good games are on tap for tonight in the Washington Park Community House league with the East End Community club team talk ing on the Tribunes in the opener and the Texans meeting the 444 club in the feature game.
 The Texans after being upset by the Gents on Friday night will be out in full strength tonight and have hopes of handing Ray Car rington's new entry their initial setback of the campaign. The Texans lost the services of their star captain, Lefty Adams early in che game Friday and his services were greatly missed by his team mates. Lefty however, has recovered from his injury and will be in the starting lineup tonight. The 444 boys after their first win against the Hearts last week will show the Fisher brothers. Mcfarland, Car rington, McKenna and several other prominent players in their lineup to- night.
 AIlDcS 6tEcAAethcH
 The Tribunes are reported to have signed up several new players after their setback last week by the Poli team and should not have too much trouble against Jack Grady's East End Community club team in the opener tonight. The East End CTS gave the Props a battle all the way in their game Friday before dropping a four point decision to the boys from Hopeville. The East End is represented by young team and after a few more practice ses- sions under the guiding eye of Jack Grady are expected to give other teams a run for first piSce honors. George Graham who made a big hits with the fans and play CTS alike last week will work both games tonight with the first game fet for 7;30 o'clock.

MAJORS MEET AT 
 TO GET RAISE?
Night Baseball to Get ActiOn-Few Trades
 Expected Now
By STEVE SNYDER

Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Chicago, Dec. g -(UP)- Major league baseball officials reassembled today for what may be their quiet- est winter convention in years un- less some of the rumors matched at Atlanta blossom into deals.
 This was scheduled as sales-talk day. The convention opens officially tomorrow with separate meetings of the American and National leagues, followed by a joint session with Commissioner K. M. Landds on Wednesday.
 Early arrivals had little to offer but warmed-over rumors.
 Casey Stengel of the Boston Bees was on the prowl all day yesterday, but his activities may be curbed by the clubs possible sale. Negotiations were reported underway. Casey has three assets in Shorttsop Eddie Mil. Ter and Pitchers Dick Erickson and Nick Strincevich, each of whom could bring bundle of cash.
 Browns Have "Edge"
 About the only official fireworks may be in the American league meeting tomorrow. Last season, the St. Louis Browns, one of the leagues financial problems, were permitted to play IA home games at night. All other clubs in both leagues were limited to seven and proposal has been submitted to limit the Browns to that number next year.
 Also expected during the week:
 l. A new contract for Landts, ex- tending his present contract from l942 until Jan. 12, 1946, expiration date of the 25 year old major minor league agreement. LandiS, now "A, became commissioner in 1920 and draws an annual salary of $5O,OOO.
 2. Removal of the no-trade ban against the American league cham piorS. Originally aimed at the New York Yankees, the rule now affects the Detroit Tigers. Only way the Tigers can acquire new talent is on waivers.
 3. Further discussion of the status of ball player called into military service.
