KANSAS CITY, Jan. 8-Ever see
q blaze that didn't draw a crowd?
Gene Johnson, basket ball coach
at Kansas Wesleyan, thinks 1t is
the fire department" style of play
he developed that is Turing the spec
tators to the modern game.
Remember those contests of a
decade ago? The four mates OF the
dribbler could play a rubber OF
bridge under their own basket while
the five opponents Warbled be-
meath their own hoop waiting for
the precise moment to make a
"break."
That's all changed now, primarily
because a Mexican team 10 years
ago won games due largely to its
own ineptnesS.

johnson was coach of a smart
Wichita University five then. His club
had difficulty defeating the Mex
leans, whose awkWardneSs ruined
all the Kansas set plays and whose
meager knowledge of fundamentals
put them at the wrong place-at
the right time.

them. They were all over the place.

other teams. We did, and we are

Nebraska, With LittIer
As Leader, Expects
Bast Track Team
Sugar Bowl 440 Winner
To Run This Event and
220 During Season
Ey the Associated Press.

LINCOLN, Nebr.. Jan. Spaced
by little redhead who set Sugar
Bowl record in his first 1941 start,
the finest track team in Nebraskas
long and successful cinder and turf
history is coming up.
The pace-setter is Eugene Littler,
whose flaming thatch matches the
scarlet of the Cornhuskers. His
Sugar Bowl record was O:482 for the
440 and bested the old mark by 2
second.
Littler, whose training season con-
sists of 365 days a year, ran the
100, 220 and 440 last year and was
beaten just twice, in the 220 event
of the Big Six outdoor meet and
the 440 at Minneapolis June car
nival.
This year the little Snowman isn't
expected to be so busy. He had to
compete in all three events of most
meets last year to get the points
Coach Ed Weir needed in the clean
sweep-both indoors and outdoors
that the Husker squad achieved.
With the redhead probably con-
fining himself to the 220 and 440
this year, Nebraska fans are looking
for more records by Littler, born
and raised on the wide plains of
Nebraska, where the lads practice
running down jackrabbitS.

hood pal have worked together as
manager coach.
In 1927 Wilson was star catcher
of the Phils. They were short of
outfelders, and Jimmy recommended
Dick. Spalding previously had
turned down an offer from Bob
ShaWkey to go with the Yankees
but he couldn't resist Wilson's plea
That year Spalding led National
League f1y-chasers in fielding, but
a fractured ankle cut short his
playing career.
In 1884, Wilson became manager
of the Phils, and the first person
he sought out was Spalding, whom
he persuaded to become coach. Two
years later, Dick decided to enter
banking.
Then one night last December,
Dicks phone rang. 1t was Wilson
who had just signed 2-year Cub
contract in Chicago.
Dick" announced Wilson, I've
got to have a coach who can argue
with me when I'm wrong, and you're
the man"
Arguments in favor of the bank
job made no impression on Jimmy

I am. back in the game"

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Jan. 8.-The

everybody else in baseball, have laid
out the biggest spring training pro-
gram of any major league club this

into groups to play two games a day

team will tour Texas and Louisiana
the other will play in Florida and

In announcing the schedule, the
Dodgers said they wouldn't be sur
prised if their attendance for the
preseason competition amounted to
a quarter of million fans.
While in Cuba the Dodgers will
play exhibitions with the New York
Giants and the Cleveland Indians, as
well as a team of Cuban all-stars

CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-Lou Boudreau
is a young man of rare wisdom and
few words.
The Chicago Chapter of the Base
ball Writers Association of America
heaped praise upon the 23-year-old
Cleveland shortstop last night and
then awarded him the j. Louis
Comiskey Memorial Plaque as the
outstanding major league rookie in
1910.
But modest Lou didn't take this
as his cue for a speech. He simply
got up, thanked the boys graciouSly
in 10 well-chosen words and sat
down. He got almost as much
credit for his brevity as he did for
leading American League short
stops in fielding, batting almost
300 and knocking in more than
100 runs in his first full season in
the big time.
Then the fun began as the writers,
following the custom at their annual
dinner, began tossing ight-hearted
tests at baseball celebrities, mainly
Cub and White Sox dignitaries.
No one seemed to have more fun

Second mortgages, regardless Of

the provisions Of regulation w" of
the Federal Reserve Board govern
ing installment purchases. accord
ing to An opinion Of the board ~
ceived by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards. The opin-
ion was given In response to z for
NAL inquiry by the association.
The opinion, from L. p. Bethea,
assistant secretary Of the Federal
Reserve Board. points out: The sec.
ond mortgage note would not be sub
ject to regulation w because 1t would
represent an extension Of INSTALL
ment credit made by the seller and
arising out Of the sale; and, since
the thing being sold Is real estate
and since real estate IL not one Of
the listed articles in the regula-
ton, the extension Of credit would
not be subject to the regulation"
The associations inquiry was
made to clarity the status Of second
mortgages Of . face amount less
than 1000, which, unless they had
been held exempt from the regula-
tions. could have run no longer than
