bN me ASSDGldttu EItSS-
NEW YORK. Feb 10-Although
there is more than a month of the
campaign ahead, the championship
of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket
Ball League could be settled this
week to all practical purposes.
Seven games are on the program,
bringing every one of the leagues
seven members into action twice,
with Dartmouth and Cornell COL
iding in the climax next Saturday
night
The Dartmouth Indians, who have
held the title for the last three sea-
sons. are undefeated in four games
to date and stopped Cornell's Big
Reds, 36-33. last month at Ithaca.
That was the only defeat Cornell
has suffered in six league games.
If the Indians can repeat this
trick Saturday. and get by Yale
Wednesday. there will be every rea-
son to believe they can coast into
another championship. With Gus
Broberg scoring % points, they rolled
over Princeton, 55-40, Saturday
night
Broberg individual scoring leader
for the last two years. now is only
13 points behind Jim Bennett of
Cornell and has played in two less
games. Each has tailed 27 field
goals. but Bennett has netted 81
free throws to for Broberg. John
Cobb of Yale is another ii points
behind in third place and apparently
no one else has a chance to catch up.
However, there is sure to be some
shuffling in the team standings
whether Dartmouth wins or loses.
Cornell is booked against Harvard
Friday night in addition to its Dart
mouth date and needs to win both
to keep clear Of the threat of Co
lumbia, which has won two of It's
three games so far and is matched
with Pen Wednesday and Princeton
Saturday.
In the weeks other league games
Harvard and Princeton meet We'd
nesday and Yale plays Penn Satur-
day. At present Harvard and
Princeton are deadloked in the
cellar and their skirmish will give
one or the other its first triumph
of the campaign. Yale and Penn
each have won only once.
This also will be another busy
week for the independents. Tenn
pie and Georgetown, two of the
leaders, will clash Wednesday, with

SALEM, Mass. Feb. l0,-Bill
Broderick of Salem High. who often
has been called the Nations highest
paid schoolboy football coach, faces
a fight over his S6700 salary-but
originatorS of the move to cut his
pay insist it has nothing to DO with
accomplishing the sport.
Simply economy declared the
Rev. Chester G. Minton, rector of
St. Peters Episcopal Church and
a member of the School Board, who
proposed a 81 400 cut to bring Brod-
erick's salary in line with other
school department heads"
AS physical director Broderick re-
ceives $4,000 year and as football
coach S2,700.
His $4,000 salary alone, Mr.. Min
ton said. was equal TO that of the
Mayor of this mill city of 10000;
S1,400 more than is paid any other
high school department head and
within S700 of the school superin-
tendents pay.
The coach's combined salary far
exceeds that of any other school Of
fetal.
Broderick. a high school coach for
more than a quarter of a century,
was not available for comment to-
day. Week ends-summer and win
ter-he goes to his camp in nearby
BoXford and there in the. quiet
countryside he often paints.
His ability as an artist, in years
gone by, has brought him as much
fame as his football teams. His
paintings have been exhibited
throughout the country.
More than once Broderick has
turned down tempting offers to leave
the high school game for a college
coaching position-but he's told
friends he enjoys "molding" players.
He has done much to put the
schoolboy sport on a bigger scale.
Long before college bowl" games
were so numerous, his teams par
ticipated in poSt-SeaSon contests
in the Southland and in warmer
climeS
Twenty years ago his Haverhill
High School eleven went to Jack

Chorlev Short, veteran Baltimore
official who refereed the Maryland
Catholic u match Saturday night.
was talking to us gray-beardS in the
press box before the match when
the question of honesty in the ring
casually popped into the conversa-
ton.
"If anybody tried to bribe me, he
said. I'd knock his teeth down his
throat. I stole a watermelon and
some peaches when I was kid and
7 guess I'd do it again if had the
chance. But nobody had better ask
me to throw a fight"
All of which prompted a Wag to
observe that Charley ought to look
I'D another load of melons and
peaches after he called a few
decisions that from the press box
seemed uncalled for There was
more than a little disagreement over
the verdicts handed down in the
Ted MandriS-J -Judson Lincoln, Lenny
Bartone-Charley Dorr, and Bill
Holbrook-Leo Gaffnev bouts.
Critic Firmly Disagrees.
We thought Lincoln deserved a
draw on the strength of his closing
rally; agreed with Short in calling
Baritone the victor; but vigorously
disagreed with him in his judgment
that Holbrook won. But we must
bear two things in mind in this
matter. The first is that Short has
spent a quarter of century in the
ring as fighter and referee and
knows the game: secondly, he is
closer to the boxers than any spec
tator and in better position to judge
the effect of blow
After the match he told us Hol-
brooks trip-hammer body punching
had Gaffney holding on for dear
life to keep from going down. Come
to think of it. Leo didn't seem to
relish those knuckleS in his bread
basket. On the other hand, Gaffney
was raining rights off Bills granite
chin, captivating the fans, but in
f1icting no appreciate damage.
From his point of vantage Short
thought Holbrook had comfortable
edge and the announcer took his
word for it.
Mandris luckily escaped knocking
out himself with a stray elbow and
piled up enough points on sheer
aggressiveness to outpoint Lincoln
to Shorts way of thinking.
Charley Dorr knocked down Bar
tone in round and this upset
seemed to establish him clear win
ner in the public's eye. But again
Short thought Bartone's body attack
offset that deed and that Lenny
rallied enough to get the nod. Bar
