Alexander Does Not Expect
Boost In Grid SubstitutiOns

sissippi State Maroons won the
1941 Orange bowl crown, said re-
Gently the new rule was lone OF
the worst ever adopted, and pre-
dicted it would help big schools
as much or more than little ones,
promote play-by-play quarterback
ing from the bench, and annoy the
fans by slowing the game.
"As far as that goes" observed
Alexander, "you could substitute
quarterbacks with instructions last
year. The only thing was that you
needed three, where now you could
do it with two. 1 think the rule is
n distinct advantage to small
schools which have only one sub
stitute for each position.
What most of the critics are
overlooking is that you still can
substitute only when the ball is
dead. Sometimes a game goes five
or six minutes without the watch
stopping. If you go throwing sub
%stitutes in there you'll be charged
a time-out every time, and right
quick you'll be getting five-yard
penalties for excessive time-outs
Its like any other rule. You've
got to wait and see how il
works."

Wood Takes Second Money in
Pro Amateur Event at

BY ROBERT MYERS

RANCHO SANTA FEE, Calf, Jan.
26.@R-Ringing down the curtain
with another sub-par round of golf,
Sammy snead captured the annual
5000 Pro-Amateur Golf tournament
staged by Singer Bing Crosby today
for the third time in its five year
history.
Snead found the rolling hills of
Rancho Santa Fe Country club
much like those of his native West
Virginia and turned in a 36-hole
total of 67-69-136, eight strokes I'M
der par figures. He not only re-
ceived the plaudits Of the largest
crowd in the tournaments history,
but a check for $500 from Crooner
Crosby.
. While the first round leader, Ed
(Porky) Oliver of Hornell, N. Y,
fell back with a rs for al, Craig
Wood the big better from Mamaro-
neck, N. T., closed with a rush with
69-68-137 to take second money
of $3.50.
Tied at 1873 were Harold (Jug)
McSpaden of Boston, and Bill Nary,
Of Rancho Santa Fe, while the 139

Champion Byron Nelson, Jimmy

ceived a trophy and Dodson $500 for
his share of this division of the

Snead's round today was done the
easy way. He had three brides and
pars the rest of the way. His long
game was well fitted to this course
and he never was in trouble. He
won the event in 1887 and 1898.
Oliver, meanwhile, was having put
ting trouble as he played around
with Crosby over fairways heavy
from rain.
The weather today was alternately
bright and gloomy, and before the
last foursomes came in a gentle
rain fell.

DEB CAIRNS NOT

Champ May Not Have Reg

----
NEW YORK, Jan. 2e.-RAIt
may sound strange, but the Ma
tlonal league batting champion,
Debs CAIRNS, may not have a reg
ular job with the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates next season. . Manager
frankie Frisch is counting on Lee
Handley for third base and if 1.-The

will have to battle for a place in
the outfield. Warren Giles sent
every member of the world cham
pion Cincinnati Reds one of those
pocket-size radios for Christmas
and SO far only two or three
players have acknowledged tn e
gift.
One Version
One version of the signing OF
Lefty Grove last week is that Tom
Yawkey, owner of the Boston Red
Sox, sent a blank contract to old
Robert Moses for the pitcher to
sign and to fill in the amount of
his salary and that Grove
signed the paper and sent it back,
with the amount still blank.
That Cleveland Detroit exhibition
game at Lakeland, Fla, March IS
will be the Indians first visit to
the town since they quit training
there in 1927. Jim Tobin, the
Boston Bees pitcher, says his knee
is okay now and Sailor Bill Pose
del has gained 10 pounds by daily
hikes in the vicinity of his San
Francisco home.
Undecided
Frank Lawrence, owner of the
Portsmouth, Va, club, says Pitts
burgh hasn't paid him yet for Ace
Parker and has until May l to de-
eide to keep him or return him. .
Lawrence would be glad to have
Ace back to play until he has to
report to the Brooklyn football
Dodgers in August. Jim Milk
man Turner hasn't let his World
series cut with Cincinnati keep him
from his daily chores this winter
for that dairy in Nashville, Tenn.
Rip Russell is taking no
chances on losing his first base
JOB with the Chicago Cubs. -. He
already is at Catalina island work
ing out.
If there is anything funny about
Lou (Mad Russian) Novikoff look
ing for a hazardous job in the oil
fields near his Long Beach, Calf,
home it is that the Chicago Cubs
made him give up the compare
lively tame pursuit of winter base
ball on the coast. :. Joe DiMaggio's
trunks already have arrived at the
Florida seaside resort where he
and his wife will vacation before
the Yankees opening training. . {.
Hank Leiber of the Chicago Cubs
and Hank banning of the New
York Giants are fast friends and
roomies - and both holdouts.
All five infielders the Car
dinals have on their roster, ex-
elusive of first base, r short
stops. When Cincinnati con
tracts were mailed out, none was
sent to Gene Thompson, Whitley
Moore, John Wander M or
Chuck Aleno, because General
Manager Giles wanted to talk mat
tiers over with each personally.

been too bad, S Thompson
