Two Pro FootboIl Rockies Went We'll

Chicago, Dec. B. (SpeciaD Two rockies saved their most spectacular performances for the final game of their first seasons in the National Football League last week and OF the strength of those performances brought about a shuffling of the leaders in individual standings.
 Henry Margarita, the Chicago Bears little skat back, who was read out of fotball year ago by medical specialists, galloped to 129 yards in nine attempts against Card-Pitt to bring his season total to 463 yards and take over fourth place among ground gathers.
 Bob Westfall, the roly-poly little full back from Detroit, known far and wide as plunging back, sud- denly blossomed out as a passer and completed 15 of 30 attempts against Boston for 260 yards and three touchdowns. This performance quail flied him for championship consid- eration and earned him 18th place in the standings. It was Westfall's first appearance in the weekly pass ing statistics.
 First place in these two depart mentS, however, remained with vet erans. Bill Paschal, the defending champion in ground gaining, in- creased his lead to 72 yards over Bill Grigas, of Card-Pitt, and since Gri- gas and the other close pursuers have completed their seasons, Pas chal is assured of retaining his championship.
 Frank Filchock, of Washington, stayed in first place among passers, with Sid Luckman of the Bears, sec- ond, but Sammy Baugh moved up to third on his 25 compilations in 35 attempts against the Giants.
 Len Younce of New York, regain ed first place among punterS, drop ping Frank Sinkwich of Dtroit, to second, and Steve Van Buren, the Philadelphia Eagles fleet rookie back, jumped from fourth to first in punt returns.

Bay State Gets $25O,OOO; Uncloimed

Boston, Dec. 6.-(UP)-An at- tempt will be made by the Massa- chusetts State Racing Commission to increase the big time horse racing season by 45 days and to confiscate about $250, ,000 left unclaimed at the tracks by bettors during the past Il years.
 The commission, in series Of recommendation yesterday, urged the state legislature to change the existing laws so that the commits sion might grant dates to major tracks in the period between Aug. 15 and Sept. 30. At present these dates are reserved solely for racing at state and county fairs.
 The proposal would mean that the operators of Suffolk Downs could hold three 30-day meetings instead of a straight 60-day meet ing as in the past. The commis- sion said it also would permit, the track to open in later and more fav- orable weather.
 Handicapped? Under the present laws racing can be conducted from April i8 to October 31 with six weeks taken out in August and September for the fairs. The commission contended 1t was handicapped in assigning dates under such law.

GARDEN HAS SO
 NAMES SET UP
 FOR BLACKLIST
BY OSCAR FRALEY United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff C0rrespOndenfl
 New York, December 6. - (UPl -- Blasting boolunakers and recent rule changes, president Ned Irish of Madison Square Garden gave the impending collegiate basketball sea- son rousing kickoff in fiery talk yesterday to New York coaches and sports writers.
 Promising a concerted campaign to stamp out gambling. Irish re- vealed that intensive drive will open simultaneously with the start of the 1944-45 season tonight.
 Any one placing a bet in the Garden will be elected" Irish said, "and there shall be no exceptions. We already have 60 dndividuals on our list who cannot enter those doors for any event at any time, not even a dog show and we shall not relax our vigilance in continuing this drive to stamp out gambling"
 Not Too Bad
 Irish defended the degree of wag- ering on basketball games here with lIlC dsSoCILlOll b41db CO24OAG40A4c eSAt comparable and perhaps superior to any building in the country, on or off the campus" He said that 1900 of the 2,2o0 side seats were sold only to reputable persons and that gamblers in those sections could readily be traced. City police, pri- vate detectives and other mediums which he declined to reveal are en- listed in the campaign, he said.
 Speaking of the five rule changes which will govern cage play this sea- son, Irish said that two of them were of no aid to the game and pre- dicted "abuses and squawks".
 '"The unlimited substitution rule can prolong games by stopping the clock, and some of the worst changes in recent years" he said Similarly, the rule which leaves the decision to the referee in halting a game at will for player-injury is subject to abuses. Some fine actors play basketball, and those time- killing methods you might have seen in football and other sports might well create unpleasantness in bas- ketball because of this rule"
 Recent local games under the new rules, Irish said, have not been close contests and consequently could not be considered fair tests.
 Lousy, Says Joe
 Coach Joe Lapchick of St. Johns University, Brooklyn, concurred with the Madison Square Garden presi- dent by Interpreting both rules as lousy.
 'There'n be lots of squawking about the injury rule," the Mentor of the two-time national invita- tional champions said. And the same applies to the unlimited Sub- stitutions. I'll go on record now as strongly opposing both"

Dartmouth Hoop Coach Uncertoin

Hanover, N. H., Dec. 6-(UP)- The Dartmouth College Indians, defending Eastern Collegiate Bas- ketball League champions, today didn't know whether they had two coaches for their coming court Season-or none.
 Earl Brown, football mentor who led Dartmouth to last years crown was to have entered the service last month but because of a slow-heal- ing appendectomy he probably will remain on the campus most of the season.
 Meanwhile, Dartmouth authori- ties re-hired OsSie Cowles, who brought the InlianS six consecutive titles, but he hasn't yet received his anticipated discharge from the Navy.
 Until one-or both-of the reg ular coaches are available, the quin- tet is being tutored by Chief Specialist Morgan A. Rodemacher Of the Navy, who is drilling a com- pletely- -untried club for it's opener against Quonset (R. I.) Naval air station in Hanover Friday.

 New York, Dec. 6-(UP)-Quar- terback Les Horvath of Ohio State, the nations No. 1 football player, is tile last guy in the world one would expect to call signals wrong on his own marriage; but he did. Which indicates that affairs of the heart can be more flustering than formations of the '"T."
 This error of errors was chalked against loping Les last night just after he had been presented with the Heisman Memorial trophy as the outstanding college player in the United States for 1914. Hor- vath's ears were still ringing from tributes shovelled manfully by a flock of speakers at the downtown Athletic Club dinner.
 Cornered in his room by repor- ters, the dashing dental student finally disclosed that he was en- gagged to June Weiphardt, his home town sweetheart in Parma, O.-A suburb of Cleveland-and that they would be married in December"
 The reporters, having collected this connubial treasure, scurried out to telephones. A few moments later they scurried back again wanting to know which December" Horvath meantime current month, or that of 1945? In their absence, unfortunately, the handspring of the unblemished Buckeye grid ma- chine had sprung himself loose-to an undesignated coffee and cruller salon.
 When finally located, the hand some, brown+haired lad in the tan tweed suit calculated: "Habba: Habba: did I say December? Gosh it's not December; it's June: I got so excited" A newspaper man interrupted, i've know it's June you're marrying June Weinhardt; but when? Let's get this straight"
 I'm marrying June in June"
 "Oh-Okay:"
 Meanwhile, Miss Weinhardt-an attractive brunette defense worker had recovered the tumble at Par ma and taken the offensive by an nouncing that the wedding was set for June, probably right after Hor- vath is graduated-and not Decem- Der. She explained that she had met the Buckeye blitz in Parma high school-ninth grade-"but we didn't begin dating until the 10th grade"
 Will Horvath turn professional after graduating? Maybe no; may be yes. He would prefer to plunge immediately into the pleasantries of dentistry. However, he admit ted, he could be tempted" by a large enough offer. He remarked significantly, T figure it will cost about 5000 to set up my office" He would prefer to play with the Cleveland Rams, who incidentally drafted him back in 1922.
 Speakers at last nights dinner included Coach Carroll Widdoes of Ohio State; Wilfred Wottrich, pres- ident of the downtown Athletic Club; Sportscasters Bill Slater and Ted Husing; Eddie Dooley, former Dartmouth star and president of the New York Touchdown club; and representatives of Ohio State and its New York Alumni organization.
