Lou Little Leeds
With His Bio Chin

With all due respect to the col
lege football status of Lou (Pic-
collo) Little, Columbia coach, who
has been an outstanding member
Of his profession for more than is
years we can look for some real
oratorical action, when he backs
up, before the rules committee, of
which he is member, the sugges-
ton of DR.. Clarence Rungee of
New Haven to the effect that foot
ball officials, charged with the safe
conduct of the game, should super
wise the action OFF the field, mean
ing apparently along the sidelines.
Coach Lou, very ably, points out
that the referee is the worst Of
fender from his position to the side
OF or behind the line of scrimmage
OF the team in possession OF the
ball; and many times is knocked
down and must turn his back on
the play If it is coming toward
him, and he naturally wishes to
prevent being trampled on by one
or more cleated, young panthers
scaling ITO to 225 pounds.
Yet, sports official, whether
in football, basketball, baseball or
boxing should be pretty close to
the scene Of action; and if football
officials are to be kept off the field
1t will be interesting to see how
they will detect holding in the
line; other Illegal use of the hands,
and In the case of a TUMBLE al
most anything might happen by
the time an official ran on the field
to determine who was entitled to
the ball. If team got the ball
within a foot of the goal. and
INCHES were needed for a FIRST
DOWN OR TOUCHDOWN. now
could officials OFF THE FIELD
decide If the ball had been ad-
vanced enough to score a touch
down or a first down? Any sports
official must take his chances OF
being knocked down, run into or in
the case Of boxing, struck by wild
punch; which the OFFICIAL
would PREFER, I believe, rather
than be restricted to a distance Of
80, 40 or so feet from the play
where ne could hardly do justice
to the rules, to really see what
might be going on.
OF course, the OLDER MEN In
college football, have plenty Of trou-
BILE getting out Of the way, but
they are the POLITICIANS OF tire
officiating business and they won t
get out until senility catches up
with them; for, after all SIS and
expenses is NICE MONEY for two
hours strutting around a football
field. with two or three brother
officials to help out, If one gets IL
jam on decision.
1t seems to me. the men in white
pants and barber pole shirts are
having enough trouble as 1t is; even
with four of them to a game; but
If they had to run the game from
points OFF THE FIELD. it could
be nothing short OF MODIFIED

Meet Saturday.

New haven, Conn, Jan. 6 - The
opening meet only three DAYS off.
Coach Eddie O'Donnell TODAY named
his Yale varsity wrestling team
which will grapple Saturday after
noon at $3.50 in the Payne Whitney
gymnasium with the United States
Military Academy.
Included in the group are four
veterans while the rest OF the start
ers will be drawn from students as
signed to Yale under the Wit Navy
training program and civilian fresh
men.
A pair OF HOWE Odells football
charges will be on tap for the heavy
weight or unlimited berth. and at
present ODonnell is uncertain Just
which one will get the call.
One Of these Is burly Bob Pickett
from Cooperstown, N. Y, who held
the spot last year and who Is the
brother of two other Yale wrestlers
who carved enviable inches for
themselves when they were under
graduates at the university. Pickett
weighs just ever 200 pounds.
Strong Man
The other lad is towering John
Prchlik from Cleveland, Ohio, a
varsity football tackle who won his
letter last season as q freshman,
Prchlk, butt as strong as they come,
but inexperienced in college Wrest-
ling. weighs close TO 225.
In the 175-pound bracket will be
another gridiron player, Marshall
Scars, a Viz freshman who served
as a substitute guard during the
football campaign.
Coach O'Donnell still must decide
on his l65-pound class starter and
must choose between Dick Heinrich
or Capt. Eugene Smith.
The veteran Don Mccullough, who
wrestled In the same class last sea-
son, will get the nod In the 1885,
pound spot, while Bob Bast, a civil
liam yearling. will represent Yale in
the l45pound division.
Cliff Lewis, another holdover, will
be the l36-pound choice, while i'll
the l28-pound group will be Jim Easa
Navy transfer. 1.-the little Gene
Pochapsky is O'Donnell's choice for
the l45-pound division.
This will be the first competition
for the Bulldogs of a six-meet
schedule which also includes Tufts.

will rule a slight favorite tonight to
halt the winning streak Of rugged
Henry Chmielewski Of Portland, Me-,
in their l0-round middleweight bat
tie at Mechanics building.
Though expected to come into the
ring some seven pounds above his

Horne's skill as boxer made him
2-to-l choice in the betting over the
Portland Pole whose main stock in
trade is a Furnishing but erratic right
hand.
A win for the Buckeye better who
celebrated his Goth birthday Monday
would place him in the forefront
of the l60-pound division with an
assurance Of a match at Madison
Square Garden with Jake LaMotta
and the probability of a chance at
Tony Zale'S crown after the war.
A clean puncher with q sharp left
hand, Horne has fought here thrice,
winning twice and gaining a draw
Chmielewski, who adopts an agrees
sive, crowding style of offensive, has
appeared in Boston rings IL times
and scored eight wins.
No Full House
Though the ancient Mechanics
building has seen crowds of 5000 in
years past only about 5000 will be
on hand for tonight's fight. However,
this will be near a capacity throng
since new state safety laws prohibit
the admission Of standees and have
cut the seating capacity
A total of 38 rounds of boxing are
scheduled including a six round

Bergamo, rookie outfielder who
comes up from Columbus TO the st
Louis Cardinals for the 1914 season
has been named to the National
Leagues hot-stove new-face all-star
team because of his 1924 batting
average and his most thrilling
moment" yarn.
Affable Bill Brandt, the National
circuits publicity purveyor, picked
Bergamo for the new-face aggrega-
ton just as soon as he read Augie's
note about his memorable home run
in 1889 when he was playing with
Columbus Ga, OF the South Allan
tic League, which is not TO be con-
fused with Columbus, O., where Ber-
gamo performed last season.
Although Bergamo led the South
Atlantic League in triples, with 10.
for the SO season, he had not con-
nected for a single home run up to
the last game of the campaign. But.
he writes, in the seasons last game
with Savannah, finally hammered
out home run that won the game
and the pennant. It certainly was
my most thrilling moment in base
ball"
Another all-star outfielder Is Andy
Pafko. who comes up from the Los
Angeles club to the Chicago Cubs.
His 1855 batting helped Los Angeles
win the Pacific coast league pen
nant, and he won the circuits most
valuable player award. The third
outer-gardener Is Charlie Mead, ris-
ing from Jersey City to the New
York Giants. He hit .291 last season
but when he Joined Texarkana OF
the cotton states league in Al, he
collected three consecutive home
runs in his first game against Hot
Springs most thrilling moment.
Tony Ordenana. Cuban shortstop
elevated from Portsmouth OF the
Piedmont League to the Pittsburgh
Pirates, made the new-face squad
because of his fielding ability and
because he proved that he can go to
right or left lingually by answering
his QUESTIONABLE half in English
and half in Spanish, much to
Brandt's confusion.
The second-base post was grabbed
by Alexander CampaniS. a Greek
born in Cos Of the Dodecanese Is
lands. who moves from Montreal to
the Brooklyn Dodgers. He once made
a 92-yard touchdown run for New
York U. against North Carolina.
''Piccolo Pete" Elko, a Ukranian
coming up from Nashville to the
Chicago Cubs, clinches the al-star
third base assignment because of
last seasons .348 batting average,
mark that helped win the Southern
Association pennant. The infield is
completed by Cecil Washington T'y-
