NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. s.
The little fellow IN the Blue of
YaIa made the nation's headlines
over. a decade. ago by darting
through Sits of daylight to up
set a favored Army football team.
The press Immediately dubbed
Albie Booth Yale's Little Boy
Blue and printed the games re-
suits as Booth 81, Army 49,.
That was in October, 1929.
Despite his IA pounds and five
feet, seven inches in height,
Booth was all over the country's
sports pages for the next three
years as a football, basketball
and baseball hero. Then he re-
ceived his degree, amid signs OF
relief from Eli athletic foes, and
bounced right out into the mid
die of the depression.
Those headlines proved in
valuable to me and / certainly
owe to them much of any sue
cess I've had, says the local boy
who has made good as business
man in his town town.
AN Choice Of Jobs
Because of those headlines, ]
had my choice of jobs right at the
depression's height, Able ex-
plains. $50 you can see what
mean. Don't let anybody tell
you, and there are some who'll
try, that seeing your name in
print in big letters does more
harm than good. l have proof
to the contrary.
After serving as assistant foot
ball coach at Yale and New York
University Booth joined an ice
cream company here in 1884
started at the bottom and now is
district sales manager.
I'm excited about business
career but am still very much in
terested in coaching, said Booth
Now some 25 pounds heavier

pate in athletics by officiating at
football land basketball contests.
Not baseball-''we're too busy
then.
Football trends today compar-
ed with the game Booth played?
Il don't think there is too
much difference, Albie says.
I've noticed more passing and
the development of the quick
kick, but essentially that's about
ALL.
While Booth admits disappoint-
ment over Yale's gridiron mis-
fortunes the past two seasons
the 1910 campaign was the worst
in Eli football hiStory--he refus-
ed to become alarmed.
IF that's the way Yale wants
it, it's all right. Eventually,
though, a flock of athletes will
show up and the school will be
up on top again.

80 .Cormiek Confident He
VIII Do Better This
Season
BY FRED BROWNING
APP Feature Service Sports Write

BY FRED BROWNING
APP Feature Service Sports Writer
/ NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Frank
Mccormick would have you
know, right off, he's no alibi guy
In the first place he doesn't
have anything to alibi-certainly
not the performance that won
him the National Leagues 'most
valuable player" award.
But the big Cincinnati first
sacker believes that maybe-just
n.aybe, mind you-he wasn't at
his best when he rang up .309
batting average and drove in 1877
runs for the world champions in
1910.
He had a wisdom tooth then
that he doesn't have now. With
out it he may be better ball
player. Let Frank explain:
Il had a funny criek in my
back early last season that both
cred me before the sun got hot.
About the same time l went into
a batting slump that pulled me
down to about 200. l think may
be the two things went together.
Loses A Tooth
"The pain came back this win
ter. When 1 went to Cincinnati
for routine check-up and X-rays
didn't show anything wrong with
my back, the doctors decided an
impacted wisdom tooth might be
doing the damage.
So the tooth came out and
Frank came back to wait for
spring training. Whether he's go
ing to improve on last years per-
Torrance remains to be seen
but
IF I can bang in one more run
and add one more point to that
batting average I'll consider it a
pretty good year..
You get the idea, talking to Nc
Cormick, that he's really pretty
confident of having a better year.
It's his fourth-"Tm senior
now"-in the majors and he feels
that his experience and added
confidence will pay dividends.
Matter of fact, Frank thinks
the Cincinnati club as a whole
is going to be a greatly improved
team, more so than any other in
the league.
He seems especially tickled
over the clubs acquisition Of
Monte Pearson and Jimmy Glea-
son. He thinks he'll be playing
on another pennant-winner.
Behind the Reds, Frank pre-
diets, will be Brooklyn, the Cubs,
Pittsburgh and st. Louis, in that
order.
Out Of Bounds
Who'll the Reds face in the Sc
ries?
That, says the grinning Nc
Cormick, lis a question outside
my league. There are too many
teams to worry about in the Ma
tional".
The 27-year-old clouter is quite
a family man. Likes to do odd
jobs around his modest Queens
apartment when his wife is busy
with the baby. Just to prove it
he brought out pan of peas he
had just shelled.
But he's not out to add a Mr..
Model Husband title to his most
valuable player" designation. He
couldn't pass as cheerful dish
washer.
I've done 'em a time or two
but under protest.

to recall WashngOns services in setting the of Amer
