Mum Quits Syracuse
Grid Berth 10 Coach
|At Michigan State
BY the A,socioied Press

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Dec. A.
Syracuse University's hopes for a
golden era of football received a jolt
today when Head Coach Clarence
(Biggie) Mum made known he had
accepted an offer to direct the grid
iron forces at Michigan State
College.
Munn's resignation, effective
January l, was approved by Syra-
cuse Vice Chancellor Finla G.
Crawford late today after five days
of behind-the-scenes maneuvers.
1t was understood that Mum
who became Syracuse head coach
this year under a 3-year contract
would take with him at least two OF
his assistants. He succeeds Charley
Bachman, who resigned last week.
Mum, who served as line coach
at Syracuse in 1887, described his
move as "a great chance for me-"
When Mum was selected as Syra-
cuse head coach to succeed Ossie
;Solem, Orange rooters squarely
placed on his shoulders the task OF
giving Syracuse a winning football
team. His 1916 squad turned in
four triumphs in nine games. The
1945 team, under Solem. scored
only one victory in seven games.
Mum said the question OF salary
was not a factor in his decision
Michigan State officials announced
mis- salary would be "in excess OF
S9.00o." which would be a boost of
at least $1,000 over his reported
salary at Syracuse.
Assistant Coaches Forest Eva
sheyski, who gained fame as Tom
Harmon's blocking back at Michi-
gan, and Hugh Daugherty, former
Syracuse lineman, said they planned
to resign in order to 60 along with
Mum.

Caps Rouf Cleveland
For 12th in Row as
ScoIari Shines

Little Fred Scolari, the former San
Francisco University ace who does
everything well, set terrific pace
last night as Washington's Capitols
extended their Basket Ball Associa-
ton of America streak to IL con-
secutive victories by defeating the
Cleveland Rebels before a ladies
night crowd of 3,289 at Uline arena
1882.
The Caps not only squared 68-
80 bea ting given them by the Rebels
in Cleveland, but forged into an
Eastern Division lead tie with the
New York Knickerbockers with a
record of IA wins and three rever-
sails.
Scolari was the little man who
dominated the Capitols from start
to finish. numbering several sensa-
tional shots among his six field
goak and four fouls, handling the
ball magnif1cently and playing a
smashing defensive game all the
way.
Frank Baumholtz. the former
Ohio University ace, was hot man
for the visitors with seven field
goals, but the invaders never were
in the running and were beaten
even more conclusively than the
score indicates.
Capt. Bob Feerick, inactive with a
sprained ankle when the Capitols
lost to the Rebels in Cleveland,
joined Scolari as offensive spear
head of the Caps. sinking six field
goals and three fouls for Is points.
The local pros were leading at
the end of the first period, 21-10, and
enjoyed a 1927 margin at half time.
They were ahead at the three-quar-

Overtime Play Asked
To End Tied Games
In National Loop
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Proposals
tn eliminate the point -after-touch-
down and the playing of extra peri
ods to determine the winner in all
games are among the suggestions for
new rules which viii be considered
by National Football League club
owners Monday.
Both are offered by Commissioner
Bert Bell. Under the first sugges-
ton the point after touchdown
would be done away with entirely
and a touchdown would count six
points, with no opportunity of in
creasing it to seven.
The sudden death" method OF
/. breaking tie game already is part
. Of the leagues rules in playoff
!. games. 1t will be in effect tomorrow
. when the Chicago Bears and the
: New York Giants tangle for the
= league crown and has been on the
y books since 1941 when the Bears and
Green Bay Packers met for the
: Western Division title.
a. Other business on the agenda for
the one-day session includes the
: trial" of Heartily (Hunk) Ander-
son, Chicago Bears assistant coach,
on charges of conduct detrimental
to football because of some critical
r remarks he made about the Detroit
Lions management in the course of
3 speech in Detroit.
y Earle Greasy Neale, Philadel-
phia Eagles coach, suggests that
the rule against clipping from be-
hind should be taken out of the
book or amended so that it shall not
be considered clipping If block is
made after the blocker throws his
head in the direction in which the
blocked player Is running.
Neale contends that clipping di-
rectly from behind is not dangerous
; and that more injuries result from
attempts to block from the side and
hitting runners knees in a direc-
ton where they will not bend.
Other important proposals include
permitting the substitution of only
one man at a time when the ball is
dead with the clock still running
instead of allowing up to three sub
stitutes; giving the team that's be-
hind in the scoring the option of
receiving the kickoff after touch
down or field goal; reversion. to
the 1945 rule making it an auto
matte touchback when punt or
kickoff crosses the goal line and the
adoption of the high school rule
declaring the ball dead immediate
ly when it becomes evident that a
try for a point after touchdown is
unsuccessful.
A proposal concerning a forward
pass incomplete behind the passer's |
goal line calls for the inf1iction of
the normal penalty-either loss of
a down or yardage in the case of
Intentional grounding - from the
spot Of the previous down.
The other proposed changes are
largely of technical nature and sim

ST. LOUIS, May 1S.-The Boston
Red Sox pulled out of their batting
lethargy in impressive fashion to-
day to wallop the st. Louis Browns,
1873, with heavy hitting that in
cluded a four-run homer by Ted
Williams.
Williams had drawn four bases
on balls, three of them intentional,
when he came to bat the fifth with
the bases loaded. The Boston star
then slugged Ellis Kinder, the
Brownies third pitcher, for the
grand slam blow, his seventh circuit
hit of the season. Glen Russell
hit homer earlier in the same
inning, Dom DiMaggio scoring
ahead of him.
Mickey Harris, Boston's unbeaten
pitcher, registered his seventh win
of the season in the contest which
drew II ,291 paid fans, although he
was touched for IL safeties, includ-
ing two home runs by Outfelder
Chet Laabs.
Wildness by Brownie pitchers
who issued 10 bases on balls in the
first three innings, contributed to
the Boston scoring. Tex Shirley, the
starter, was relieved by Stan Ferens
in the first after he issued four
walks, one of them forcing across
a run. p
The revived Red Sox scored fA
times in the second after two free
tickets to first and a wild throw
by Johnny Lucadello filled the
bases. The five-run inning included
double by Rudy York and singles
by Russell and Harold Wagner.

Keller S Homer Keep!
IChisox'5 Grove From
Banking Yankees

CHICAGO. May 10 tR.-Orval
Grove gave masterful pitching
exhibition today when he limited the
Yankees to three hits in hurting
the White Sox to a ST. victory.
A home run by Charlie Keller,
his third in as many games, and
his seventh of the season, saved the
Yanks from shutout, in the ninth
Between the first and the ninth
frames, the Highlander held the
Yanks hitless. Tommy Heinrich and
Joe DiMaggio each connected for
singles in the opening round.
The Sox took the lead in the
second when Murrell Jones tripled
off Ernie Bonham and tailed on
Mizell Platt's long fly. They added
two more in the third on a walk, a
triple by Don Holloway, and one
baser by Ralph Hodgin.
A balk, charged against relief
pitcher Clarence Marshall, and an
error by Bill Dickey, because OF
catcher's interference, helped the
home boys get their last run in the
