People Will Gamble.
People, ore way or another, are
going to gamble. and trying to stop
them is a much rougher Job than
old Canute knew. in attempting to
sweep back the tides with broom.
Racing doesn't need any fake ex-
cuses for It's existence. 1t merely is

tenders. -
Both games have written their
own answers. 1t only Is natural they
can't be used In any form Of con.
flict with any war interests. They
should 60 along and do the best
they can with what they have left.
They need no apologies for exist-'
ence. The War Department and tho
draft boards and the Manpower
Commission have the names Of all
connected with the two sports and
know where all concerned will be
able to do the greater good.
Those left should carry on the Job
with whatever happens to remain.
They at least can keep the show
going until needed somewhere else.
Ignorance In Washington.
There are certain leaders in rather
high places in Washington who
know little about sport or the need
of it. But they don't happen to rep
resent the majority opinion Of the
country.
The things that can affect COM
petitive sport or crowd sport mora
than anything else might be classed
in these arrangements.
l. Greater need for more man-
power.
2. Heavier casualty lists or combat
reverses.
3. Transportation.
The last so far has been the
main barrier. What the future
holds is something that only the fu-
ture can unravel.
Up to that point We can't see that
sport, especially competitive sport
needs any alibi or any excuse. You
can't improve patient by removing
one of his main arteries.

Gridiron Board Of Review
For Disputed Rulings
Urged for Big Ten
By the Associated Press.

3y tQe ASSOClALeu freSS.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Jan 3d.
Prof. Ralph w. Aigler, Athletic
Board secretary, declared today in a
report to the University of Michi-
gan's Board of Regents that foot
ball officiating in the Western Con-
ference in 1942 gave even worse
satisfaction than usual" adding that
board of review should be set up
over the referees.
Aigler, for many years active in
Big Ten administrative affairs, said
that only rarely" does a gridiron
official err in making application of
the games rules, but pointed out
that professional baseball has ma
chinery to review disputed cases
while the Big Ten has not. He made
it clear that the suggestion would
not apply to decisions ION matters of
judgment"
Without suggesting remedy, Aig-
Ter also asserted that the award of
conference championships on a per-
centage basis may be reduced to an
absurdity." The conference officially
recognizes no champions.

Trojan Basket Team
Deemed Best Ever
At University
Has No Towering Giants
But Shows Fine Attack
Against Keen Foes
BY the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30.-South-
ern California has had some great
basket ball players and few out
standing teams, but it may be that
the 1943 five under the direction of
Ernie Holbrook is the greatest of
them all.
Holbrook was one OF the best Of
the Trojans of yesteryear. His serv-
ice was from 1888 to 1885. AS a
coach he is doing splendidly. His
boys have won IA of Is games. Their
only defeat was to De Paul of Chi
cago by l point.
Lacks Towering Giants.
Apparently nobody is going to
stop the, Trojans in the southern
division race OF the Pacific Coast
Conference. Many observers who
have had a chance to watch this
outfit and compare it with other
Trojan champions are inclined to
favor todays boys.
This team," says John Old. for
mer Kansas star and now Pacific
Coast official, seems to be the an
swer to those who think height is
absolutely necessary. There are no
towering giants. The team has
however, much finesse, and Center
Jim Seminoff is largely responsible
in feeding the ball to the forwards
He executes a marvellous pivot"
Forwards Are Keen Shots.
The Trojans have maintained a
fast scoring pace against some ex-
cellent guarding. Old thinks the
reason for this Is that Gene Rock,
southpaw forward, and his starboard
running mate, Alex Omalev, both
shoot going away from the basket
IT'S pretty hard to handle couple
of hot shots like those boys. They
have mastered the seemingly hard
way to score
Rock is 5 feet 9 inches. Omalev
from Detroit. is feet l. as is Semin-
of, and Guard Ernie McGill, from
Frankfort, Ind, is feet IL. Ted
Gossard, the captain and guard
rates as one of the Trojans' all
time greats. Defensively he has NO
peers in the conference, and he is a
fine shot and an inspirational lead
er. He is feet 2, the tallest man
on the team.
