Asks Basketball
Rules Be Frozen

SALTWATER, OKLA, Nov.
18-(R-Most basketball coach
es will tamper with the rules at
the drop of a chairman's gavel.
So it's surprising to learn that
Henry p. Iba of basketball sat
urated Oklahoma A. and M.
college wants the rule book stat
us quoted for the duration.
Shortage of material, either for
remodeling the gymnasium or
the team, makes innovation too
difficult, he insists.
IBA especially hopes the bas-
kets are kept at their present
height. Proposals to boost the
buckets have dribbled In repeat
eddy from coaches who feel tall
players now have too much of
an advantage. Push up the hoop,
they argue. until even the tallest
has to jump for it.
Aggie teams in the past often
have been rapid but runty. This
year they will have height sup
piled in one liberal chunk by a
7-foot, 214-pound Freshman,
Bob Kurland of st. Louis. IBA
hopes the baskets stay right
where they are so Kurland can
continue to fan them with his
ears.

Buckeyes Considered Cinch
to Carry Statistical Honors

Moreover, the Buckeyes have
the two leading scorers in Gene
Fekete and Paul Sarringhaus
and three of the top five ground
gamers in Fekete (who is No. ~,
Sarringhaus and Les Horvath.
All of which would tend to
stamp Ohio State as the big fav-
orite for this weeks game at Co.
lumbus until one recalled that
demonstration of power and pre-
cision Michigan gave outside the
Conference Saturday in rolling
up $40 yards against a strong
Notre Dame eleven.
On defense, Minnesota has al

1913; Northwestern 226: Wiscon-
sin 23O; Michigan 238; Illinois

ATLANTA, Nov. 10 up -
Can a Freshman football star
make all-conference?
That's the question being
kicked around Southeastern
conference gridiron huddles to-
day-and the little guy they're
talking about is Georgia Techs
Pint O. Magic, Cannonball Clint
Castleberry.
Tech partisans rate him equal
to Georgia's frankie Sinkwich,
argue that he should not only
make All-Southeastern but ALL
America as we'll. Whether he
can match the fireball may be
determined 10 days hence, when
Tech and George clash in what
promises to be a national cham
pionship game at Athens.
If the slender Southpaw fires
Tech to q convincing victory
over Georgia-as he did against
Alabama, Duke, Navy and Mo-
tire Dame-he certainly will be
doomed for national recogni-
ton, regardless of his Freshman
status.
Unusual is Castleberry's brill
lance as q defensive player. He
personally prevented at least
two Alabama touchdowns by
sensational leaps to bat down
forward passes. He brought
down Big Joe Domnanovich, Ala
bama center, on Techs IS after
Domnanovich had intercepted
one of his passes.
In earlier games he helped
beat Notre Dame at South Bend
with a touchdown pass to Pat
Ntzhugh,. Against Navy he
sprinted 90 yards with an inter-
cepted pass to score a touch
down. Against Duke he set up
a touchdown with 21-yard
Southpaw pass to Jack Marshall.
Against Kentucky he scooted 40
yards to enable one touchdown.

NEW YORK, Nov. ID -(R-
There seems to be no explana-

that the nations largest city is

MarOOns Run
Losses Up
to 81 Games

CHICAGO, Nov. 10 - R -
J. Kyle Anderson, new basket
ball coach at the University of
Chicago, says that maybe the
Maroons might not fare as badly
as they have the last two sea-
sons in western conference COM
petition. After winning their
opening game against Illinois
Tech last Dec. 6, the Maroons
failed to score a single victory
in the remainder of the season,
running their string of consec-
utive western conference losses
to 81.
Anderson, who succeeds Capt.
Nelson Norgren, who has re-
joined the army air force, said,
"We've been work. ig on what
may turn out to be few sur
prises this year."

Says Bears Play too Rough
.Fekete Sure TO
Break Harder;s
Big Ten Record
BY HARRY GRAYSON

NEW YORK, Nov. l8-Grid-
iron ganibol:
POURING 1T ON: The score
isn't the only department in
which the mighty Chicago Bears
pour it on, charges Mike Getto
of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The
Chicago Cardinals complained
previously in regard to the
same thing.
Coach Getto points to torn
ligaments in the leg of Guard
George Kinard, a torn cartilage
in the leg of Center Tom Robert
son and plenty of facial cuts
suffered while the Bruins were
running over the Dodgers, $50,
at Ebbets Field.
1T might have been signifi-
can't" stresses Getto, that Rob-
ertSon and Kinard were put out
in the first five minutes. They
are key men against the T for
nation, and we are short in
center and guard requirements.
Having more power than I've
ever seen, the Bears don't have
to take it out on opponents
when they're down.
Getto traces plenty of facial
cuts to Tackle Joe Stydahar
having his hands heavily tapped.
"When it comes to where the
Bears have to get dirty" he con-
cludes, that hurts me more
than losing"
The other pros don't ask the
Bears to pull any punches.
All they ask is that they keep
them up.
FLYING START: Unless he
breaks a leg, Gene Fekete Of
Ohio State is sure pop to break
the Big Ten record for rushing

last season by Fulback Pat Har-
der of Wisconsin.

ments, Sophomore Fekete rush.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10
R)-Connie Mack and Big Bob
johnson, the Philadelphia Ath-
letics' hard-slugging Indian out
fielder, came to a peaceful part
ing of the ways today after ten
long, and sometimes hard, years.
Connie announced that the
pride of the AS will be traded
at the Chicago Major league
meeting opening December J.,
if a suitable deal can be ar
ranged, and added:
"He deserves to play on a
pennant contender"
johnson went home to Ore
gon to hunt and get war plant
Job at the close of the 1912 sea-
son, announcing that he never
again would play with team
as poor as the last-place Ath-
letics."
Connie replied then that the
AS had first call and he either
would play for the Athletics or
not at all.
Announcing his changed de-
cision, the 79-year-old manager
commented:
bob has been very loyal. He
has played fine ball on poor
clubs and deserves a chance on
a pennant contender. l want him
to have that chance. Last year !
believed we would have such a
team, but we lost so many men
the bottom fell out of the club.
Bob has two or three good
years left and he will be able
to punch in a lot of runs for
some other club"
johnson, who will be "a years
old Nov. %, joined the Athletics
in 1888 after four years with
Portland in the Pacific Coast
League. He lined out "A two
base hits, four triples and 81
homers for a 300 average dur
ing his first major league sea-
son. The next season he hit .3O7
and stayed slightly above or be-
low that charmed mark for
years.
Jimmy Dykes tried to hire
him last spring, when he was a
hold out, but the White Sox had
no success. The Indian played
for Mack last season on a bonus
contract based on attendance,
and was openly disgruntled
when he collected only one
bonus.

Dodgers New
Manager May
beNanled Soon
Hickey. Duroeher
Held Long Confob
on Issue Tuesday
BY AUSTIN BEALMEAR

NEW YORK, Nov. l8-(R-
II won't be long now until Leo
Durocher, to say nothing of the
rest of the baseball world, will
know whether the manager of
the Brooklyn Dodgers next sea-
son is . be Leo Durocher.
In fact, at exactly 2 pm. to-
morrow, Branch Hickey, the
new Dodger president, will have
a definite answer for Durocher
and a few thousand anxious
flatbush fans, as we'll as anyone
else who might be interested.
Branch the brain and Leo the
Ii phuddled for something like
eight hours yesterday an d
worked out a number of prob
lens, but the actual managerial
assignment wasn't one of them.
Durocher, finding h m S e t
matched, if not over-matched,
in the art of conversation, had
little to say when the conference
ended, but Hickey promised he
would come to a decision tomor-
row.
Perhaps the most significant
development to come out Of yes
terday's confab was an indica-
ton that Durocher might be
asked to return to the active
player list.
MAY PLAY
81 used to think he was a
corking good shortstop," Hickey
said in discussing the confer
ence later, land in my judgment
he still is a good player, if he
would only think so. That could
be a part of the question be-
fore us.
Durocher, now 81, did not
play at all last year-his fourth
as Dodger skipper - and not
much the year before. But ques-
toned later, he declared: Sure,
I can play-if have to-"
Hickey admitted that one of
the points under discussion was
Leo's personality and his meth
cd of handling the sometimes
rowdy Dodgers.
II know Durocher," Hickey
declared, land that goes double.
He knows me-" The president
continued:
"A manager, either In the
major leagues or the minors,
needs to know some fundamen-
tai things. He needs to know
