It was against the lowly Eagles
at New Haven that Brown suffered
the accident which necessitated re-

ago and the Eagles had won only

White, IS, weighing 2S5 pounds
and standing six feet two, Joined
the Navy late in 1913, was recently
discharged following South Pacific
service. The Edgewater, N. J., giant
played left tackle for Notre Dame
in l04l-43.
In his Junior year he not only
stopped Junior Davis, but stole the
ball from Red Blaik's ace and two
other Army backs.
Davis sort Of lost his speed when
White hit him several times" re-
calls Capt. Pat Filley Of the Irish.
White will slow anybody down
and that goes for Blanchard, too
Fat Jack Lavelle, veteran Notre
Dame scout, describes White as the
fastest and strongest big man he
ever saw in q football suit.
In addition TO starring In foot
ball, White was Q 220-yard and
quarter-mile champion ct New
York's All Hallows School. Despite
his bulk, he beat Creighton Miller,
Bob Kelly, Johnny Lujack and other
'43 Irish flashes In goal-to-goel
sprints.
He was the Notre Dame hand
ball champion.
Jim White is q pretty good foot
ball player not to want, especial
ly when you have Army coming
up.
His offense must have been helm
Gus.
When Glenn Davis chased Clyde
Scott on the latter's touchdown
dash in the Army-Navy game,
there was much discussion as to
their relative speed. Davis appeared
to gain slightly in the mad race
but It must be remembered that
Smackover Scott had q football UNI
der his arm.
What most observers overlook
ed was the field judge who kept
up with the play all the way
matching the players stride for
stride, not losing an inch.
The fieid judge was Ray Barbuu
Americas only winner on the nat
in the Olympic Games way back
in 1923.

BIG LEAGUE
CLUBS AFRAID
TO MAKE: DEALS
ny CARL LUNDQUTsT
United PRESS sports writer

New York, Jan. Si--CUP)--Major
league club owners gathered today
for their final pow-wow before the
start OF the 1916 season, but prac-
tlcally all hands were afraid TO
make player deals because there
was no accurate measuring stick OK
the quality OF players.
Every club IN both leagues has
omre players than it knows what
10 do with. stars Of the io46 CAM
paign will be regulated 70 bench
warming Jobs In i046, II indeed they
will not be forced TO take minor
league Jobs or leave the game en-
tirely.
The same trade rumors that have
been afaoat since the World Series
were circulating, but whethr any Of
the executives would be able to
meet on common ground and ped
die talent was questionable.
First of all, the executives were
concerned over Just how well their
top diamond stars who went into
military service will be able to re-
convert to their peacetime baseball
Jobs.
Competition
Next, they are wondering about
their interim stars Of so-called
duration" baseball. Some Of the
top hands from the l942 through
io45 seasons who were not called
into military service will be out
standing enough to compete with
the better players who were called
up.
Moreover, they will have the adj
vantage Of added years Of cempe-
tition.
Finally, each club has a generous
crop Of rockies from minor league
vlubs that was = left unharvested
after the l945 season because of the
great influx of returning service
men. It Is the considered opinion
OF most baseball men that a bona
fide rookie able to make the grade
in 1916 must be particularly out
standing because he not only is
competing against the regular field
OF established stars, but with the
returning crew Of servicemen, many
OF whom were little more than
rockies themselves when called.
Aside from the trade talk, there
were business matters to be set
tied such as adoption Of 1916
schedules, possibility of increasing
admission prices to major league
parks and whether to return to the
pre-war four trip intersecitonal
competition or to reduce travelling

in three trips per season.
