productive. Also fool-proof
against violation of the pay-in-
advance rule. In the past such
violations, in the main unwilling,
have been embarrassing to the
green contestant and bowling en-
ploye alike when the tournament
prize list was checked. New bowl
ing employees and newcomers to
the tournament are urged to con-
suit the regulations posted at all
plants.
Some bowling leaders have
hailed the size of the entry in The
Star tournament as sensation.
But others reckon otherwise. One
of these is Lorraine GULL, the No.
ranking woman duckpin bowler
of the country.
She observed last night:
Il won the tournament several
times when it was on scratch
basis. Under the full handicap
system I don't have a chance for
the top prize actually, although
theoretically I do. The chance of
a low average bowler scoring
above his head is incalculable
compared with the stars. Es-
sentially, The Star tournament is
a dream for the low and medium
average bowler, but the low entry
fee, and the list of si1eable scratch
prizes make it irresistible to the
better bowlers. 1t certainly Is
everybody's tournament"

Because of the tremendous in
fiux of entries, the prize list in
The Stars 10Th annual bowling
tournament today was boosted
from $50 to 500, and If the entry
pace of the first two weeks con-
tinues, even more awards will be
added. There will be no change
in the top prizes-$200 for men
and 500 for women.
With 7,000-odd entries in the
first fortnight of a month-long
tournament, the kitty already
contains $3.50. Seventy-flve
cents of each dollar entry fee
goes into the prize fund and two
bits to the Bowlers Victory Le-
gion. which thus far has bene-
fitted to the extent of $1,750.
Total cost of the tournament to
the contestant is only the entry
fee, because only league scores
are counted. In this connection
attention is called again to one
of the cardinal rules of the event
THE FEE MUST BE PAID BE-
FORE THE BOWLER BEGINS

1t is opportune here to switch
the spotlight on Karl Gochenour,

ment is worth pointing out to

Buddy Young Mystery
Partially Cleared Up
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-There was
some explanation offered today for
Buddy Young's absence from the
University of Illinois campus-par-
tally clearing up the mystery sur
rounding his disappearance at a
time when rumors were current that
he would sign a contract to play
pro football.
One intimate friend, and finally
his stepfather, dispelled some of the
apparent secrecy over Young's abb
sence from the campus for the last
few days. But the diminutive track
and gridiron star clouded the issue
by virtually hiding out in Chicago
and was unreachable for comment.
Bobby Anderson, a South Side
playground director who coached"
Young as youngster at the COM
munity sports center, disclosed the
little Negro star athlete cut his
examination at school yesterday to
serve as a pallbearer at the funeral
of Miss Dolores Evans. a close ac-
quaintar1ce since childhood.
Buddy's stepfather, Robert Water
ford, of Chicago, eventually broke
his silence and said 1t was his I'M
preston that Young would return
to school after the funeral.

|veeck Calls Contract
Baseball 5 Biggest;
Has Bonus Clauses
BY the Asseeioted Pres.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 21.-Fireball
Hurler Bobby Feller signed q 1947
contract with the Cleveland Indians
today which Tribe President Bill
Veeck said was ''baseball's biggest"
"It is the biggest ever signed by
me- by Bob and to my knowledge
the largest ever signed by anybody
said Veeck, who took over the club
last summer.
II understand Babe Ruth's biggest
was $50, ,000," Veeck declared. We'll,
this is bigger"
Feller's salary with bonus clauses
last year was not disclosed. but
Veeck said $4,000 was good esti-
mate.
The former Iowa farm boy, who
drove here from his home in Wauke-
gan, ILL.,, last night, linked the papers
following a brief conference with
Veeck.
Feller Unexcited.
Apparently unexcited, he said:
ITS the best contract I ever
signed and I'm happy about it.
i "But I think there's too much
emphasis on it. Let's talk about
the ball club. I'm sure we're going
to have much better ball club than
last year."
Feller, who broke the modern
major league strikeout record last
year by whiting 348 batters, pre-
viously had conferred with Veeck on
terms and it had been freely pre-
! dicted that today's session was al
most mere formality.
The former schoolboy hurler, who
has pitched two no-hit games since
moving into the big leagues in 1886,
said he planned to leave for Florida
later today.
Col. Jacob Rupert, who paid
Babe Ruth $4,000 annually for two
years, told interviewers at the time
that mo baseball player ever will
get $4,000 again"
Bonus Clauses in Contract.
An assortment of bonus clauses
will make it necessary for the In
dians to match their home attend
ance of over a million last year in
order for .Feller to realize more
than $4,000.
Veeck, when questioned on this
point, said we're mortal cinch'
to pass the mark.
AS Feller walked into the Office,
Veeck asked assembled reporters and
photographers to give us minutes,
please"
Some 40 minutes later, the group
was called in. Veeck, as usual in an
open-necked sports shirt. waved a
large contract. Feller was dressed
neately in a striped suit or somber,
blue color
When photographers asked Feller
to sit in chair in the Tribe Office
for picture, Veeck remarked:
well, he owns it. Why not?"
Later, the affable Veeck pointed
through the window to the first
base stands and cracked:

round of scheduled six-rouno

and he's earned enough following
for a main event fight.
A good opponent would be AL Ed

chilled Jimmy De Chard, Red Jeter

tend him. Jones appears to be the
boy and it would make a'good fight
Jones clocked Nichols with two
right uppercuts in the early part o1
the opening round to win in 43 Sec
onds last night. He had to win fast
because Nichols came running from
his corner at the bell and started
throwing dynamite. It was ques-
ton of who was going to catch II
first. Nichols did.
Brodt's Body Attack Tells.
In the main go, Brodt used a body
attack all the way in a good bout to
beat McGriff. It was Jimmy's first
loss since last June when he went
against Tony Falco at the ball park
The constant body pounding took
away much of Jimmy's usual speed
and while he did get in several of
his long, hard rights they lacked
their usual zip and Brodt deserved
the unanimous decision.

6. U. Now Negotiating
For Three Big-Time
Grid Games in '47-S
By Froneis {. stonn

Georgetown University, heading
back toward big-time football. is
dickering for games In 1947 and 1948
with three schools from as many
major conferences and may open
next season against Southeastern
Conference foe, it was learned today.
The other two teams are in the
Big Six and Southwestern Confer
ences.
Rome Schwagel, graduate manager
of athletics at Georgetown, declined
to name the schools involved but
said that I'VE definitely are working
on our future schedules and it Is
true that among the colleges we
would like to book is one from each
of those conferences"
Schedule to Be Released Soon.
It is understood that Georgetown's
Athletic Board has approved the
games, but that approval of the
other schools involved has not been
given as yet. The Hoyas' schedule
for 1947 probably will be released
next month.
1--WE intend to have as founda-
ton for our schedules five Or six
games which will be played year
after year." Schwagel said. George
town wants to get away from short
rivalries-games which are played
one year and dropped.
"We also want games arranged
on a home -and-home basis, using
Grifith Stadium when we are the
host team"
Schwagel indicated that, in addi-
ton to the three games he hopes to
book with the teams of the South
eastern, Big Six and Southwestern
Conferences, Georgetown will renew
it's rivalry with New York Univers-
ity, which also appears to be in
favor of resuming football on a big
scale. Boston College will continue
tot be another perennial foe.
Hopes for Series With Terps.
Asked whether Georgetown will
renew its series with Maryland,
Schwagel said that he hoped the
two local teams will get together
again.
1--WE should like to sign for 10
year series, at least" he qualified
We've broken off football relations
three times so far and I don't think
that constitutes an ideal arrange
ment.
Jim Tatum and Walter Driskill
the new Maryland coaches, are good
friends of Georgetown and we'd like
nothing better than to play them

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Jan. 21.-The
Professional Golfers Association to-
day faced cancellation of three
$4,000 March tournaments-at
Charlotte, N. c.: Greensboro, N. c..
and Jacksonville, Fla.-unless it
could guarantee appearances of
leading professionals.
Sponsors of the Charlotte affair
announced its cancellation yester-
day. saying they had been unable
to get PGA assurance that top
name players would participate. The
Greensboro Junior Chamber of Com
merce said it had telegraphed PGA
Tournament Manager Fred Cor
coran for guarantee that leading
pros would appear. And at jack
Sonville, Manager Frank Taylor, jr.,
said similar request had been
made regarding the Jacksonville
Open. A fourth March tourney is
scheduled for Miami.
Face Cancellation.
Both the Greensboro and Jack.
sonville sponsors said the tourna-
ments would be Cancelled unless the
guarantees were obtained. They
appeared to be most interested in
Ben Hogan, Sam Snead and Lloyd
Mangrum.
Hogan recently announced he was
cutting down his tournament play
because of the strain of constant
competition. Snead, the defending
champion at Greensboro, has an
nounced plans for Q early spring
trip to South Africa.
The uprising is not the first for
the PGA. Last fall sponsors Of
the Montgomery (Ala.) Open as
serted the pros had let them down,
and complaints also came from
Knoxville, Tenn, and Charlotte.
Revisions Promised.
At that time the PGA prom
iSed to make revisions in its setup
whereby each tournament would be
guaranteed several top stars. So far
no progress has been announced
along this line. Some golfers have
said it was their privilege to choose
among tournaments.
The touring pros open play at
Phoenix. Ariz., Thursday. They
move over to Tucson the following
week, then to San Antonio, st.
Petersburg and Miami for the four
ball match play affair.
The Jacksonville Open Is sched-
uled for March 1916, Greensboro,

Masters at Augusta, Ga, April 3-6.

Mangrum would sell tournament" :"

might be a new star by next fall
that the fans would demand to see.
This is Sneads home section so I
don't anticipate any trouble getting
him if we get the dates"
