Eastern Colleges ''Open Up" Football
FORWARD PASS,

By JOE JAMES CUSTER

 New York, Aug. IS = gUPJ-The astern Tnter-C Collegiate Athletic Ass sociation, . usually ultra-conserva- tive body, today announced that e had taken action designed to open up college football in the east and also charged the parent National Collegiate Athletic Association with ''inaction" in the face of many need cd changes.
 Taking an 'object lession" from the professionals, who have opened up offensive play by liberallzing for. ward passing regulations. the Easts ern Association voted at their secret session here yesterday to permit for- ward passing from any point behind the line of scrimmage instead of the five yards distance behind the line now required by N. c. A. A. rules.
 Run With Fumbie
 Tn an unprecedented meeting oe defiance the EfAA. composed of such conservative schools as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, members of the Ivy League, and Army, Navy. etc.. voted the abolition of the controver- sial tumble rule. instituted several years ago, and calling for a dead ball regardless of which side re- covers. Under the revision, a recog- cred tumble may be advanced by either team.
 Other action provided for the pros hibition of the much criticized out- of-bounds kickoff. the use Of Q one inch artificial tee on kick-offs from placement, and a general cfarifica- ton of the vague off-siler rule. Taking a cue from southern col- leges, usually the first to instituee rule changes. Asa S. Bushnell, conn- missioner Of Eastern Inter- Collegiat Athletics said that these rule changes will make college football the most interesting and exciting game ever played on the gridiron."
 William A. Reid. athletic director at Colgate University and president of the Eastern intercollegiate Football Association. said that the meeting was called because mea- bers ''deplored the continued inac- ton of the NcAA.'
 All Opponents
 He pointed out that all of the changes, with the exception of the forward pass rule. would effect the eastern teams against all Of their opponents. both sectional and inc tersectionai

 Therefore, Cerdan. who was a sea. soned professional boxer long before the current conflict is coming to New York from Casablanca, because of an OK from General Charles Dee Gaulle. head of the Free French provincial government, who appar- ently sees in Cerdan, a goodwill ambassador to the U. s. through the medium Of sports which is a mighty factor with the American people.
 However what might be of more than passing interest. is the fact
 that Cerdan. is coming here with

Size Was Against Him, But Versatile BergomO Mokees Good in CordincI OutfieId
By SAM DAVIS NEA stan Correspondent

New York, Aug. IS. Size was against him. but August Bergamo fought it out to become an import ant item to the finest club in base ball-the St. Louis Cardinals.
 Augie Bergamo - 5-9. i60 pounds and left-handed all the way - is a product of Detroit sandlots. but Tiger scouts considered him too small.
 Pitching as a semi-professional on week-ends, his arm went had. so he decided to become an outfielder
 On a defense job with a roller bearing company in 1897, his boss, Norman Phillips. told him to take a week of and try out in Cardinal camp in Flint
 And am I glad I didl chuckles keen-eyed little Augie. There were about 300 kids there was put under contract. and hustled to an- other elimination tryout camp at Pine Bluff. Ark"
 SOUTHWORTH KNOWS IIM
 Thus Bergamo became just an- other Cardinal seeding planted in 1888 at Paducah. where he won the batting championship of the Glass D Kitty League with a spanking 1858. Firse Baseman Ray Sanders of the Red Birds was with the club
 Bergamo kept going mp. His size, or lack of it. didn't matter now. Cardinal scouts and coaches were convinced. He hit .345 for Columbus Of the Glass B Sally League in 1899.
 Billy Southworth knew what he had when Bergamo reported to the Cardinals last spring. The boss of the blokes in the red blazers made Bergamos acquaintance as the in dusirious outfielder reported to Rochester in l940. when his batting dropped to .288 as he developed hay fever.
 Bergamo spent 1i with Rochester and COlIs:;5is, and was destined to crash the National League from the Cardinals American Association farm club. for which he batted 303 % games in t2.
 CHAMPION AT TABLE TENNIS
 Last season BeTgam0 batted .324 in i04a engagements. and was the leagues No. l base on balls eytrac- tor with l09. And picking out good halls to hit enabled him to tie for the lead in humping tw0-baggers. He packed the winning punch in the Little World Series. three hits in the deciding game and two key Tuns-batted in.
 Bergamo. % and single. wields a 33-0unee Rogers H0rnSby model mace. He's been employed in left and right fields by the Cardinals. and filled tn at first base for Sam ders when the Reds swamped the Pirates at Forbes Field the other afternoon,
 Because he resembles the base- ball comic, rampant teammates call him Al sehachl.
 Next to baseball. Bergamo plays table tennis best. He won a few district titles.
 His biggest thrill came in go at Columbus. da- where he mannfaet- ured his first home run Of the year on the last day of the season. lt came with two men on base to win the pennant by a half'game mar sin,
 But little Augie ReFgam0 is get- ting kicks out of baseball in whole- sale lots these toFrid afternoons and nights,
 He Is thrilled every time he goes to bat for the St. Louis Cardinals.
