PHILADELPHIA. Pa. - After a
year of appalling sports disaster
epitomized by the transfer of the
Athletics to Kansas City. Philadel-
phians have been gratified to learn
that Villanova University enjoyed
its most profitable football sea-
son. The Sporting News diScloses.
The Wildcats have turned out
far. far better teams, understand.
But for Al to triumph over
Fordham in its finale, Villanova
would have had an unsullied rec
ord - ten straight defeats. No
Jumps of Sugar or pickin's of Cot
ton or peels of Orange or rays of
Sun or skins Of Gator tempted the
Main Liners at seasons end.
But they had something just
as good, and maybe better - mon
ey in the till.
In an era of dwindling receipts
and deflated football Villanova'S S
position is almost unique. While
nearly all about them have been
losing prestige and putting the
blame on televiSion, the Wildcats
have moved along, serene and un-
troubled. AS others point with en-
viouS finger to the grapes growing
ever larger among professionals,
/ the Villanovians concentrate on
the cultivation of their own vine
yard.
Three years ago, Villanova was
on the verge of doing what Ford
ham now has done - abandon
/ football The Wildcats had a good
enough team. but no one came out
/ to see it. Though unquestionably
better than their record showed,
| they had a lacklustre eleven this
past season-hut $4,000 came out
/ to see it in two games.
1t was all due, of course, to the
/ Villanova Plan, or Dudley Plan.
This was the scheme Ambrose F.
IBud) Dudley. Jr.. the Blue and
white athletic director devised
two summers ago to pack Phila-
delphia's Municipal st d u m
through a tie-in with the Acme
Super Market chain. The grocery
stores distributed tickets on mer-
chandising arrangement, and the
success of the venture exceeded
all expectations.
"It is not a cure-all," Dudley
warns. But it's Shot-in-the-a arm,
and may have far-reaching bene-
fits. The idea will get fans into the
stadium: it's up to the team to get
them to come back" The Sporting
News article says.

The success of big league rook-

Hope To Reform
Class D League;
Line Doubtful

Efforts at reviving the Class
D Tar Heel baseball league was
the order of business at a get
together of baseball men at Hick-
ory yesterday.
Lincolnton was represented by
Joe Ross and Red A1incy. They
we're there chiefly to sound out
interest in the league. and made
no official Commitment regarding
Lincolnton entry in the propo-
sed league. Much work would
have to be done. financial wise
if Lincolnton is to re-enter pro-
ball. it is understood.
Representatives of North
Carolina towns, at the Hickory
meeting. agreed to make a ser
ious effort to reorganiZe the
Glass D Tar Heel loop which
folded last season after trying
to operate with teams.
Towns and their representatives
were: Hickory. D. s. MenzieS:
Newton -Conover. Eddie Yount;
Marion, Lawson Brown: Lincoln
ton, Red Mincy, Joe Ross; Forest
City. Robert Blanton; Shelby. j.
F. Snipes; and Statesville, B. c.
Miller.
Two other towns. Lenoir and
MooreSville, also are belived in
terested, but were not represent
ed here today.
Phil HowSer, general manager
of the Charlotte Hornets, met
with the group. and agreed to
contact major league clubs in re-
gard to working agreements for
( the teams during the COMING
! week.
It was also decided to set up
| personnel limitations of two vet
Grams. five limited service men
and nine rockies for each club
The group was in agreement to
amend the limitations in favor OF
more rockies if the major lea
que clubs should desire it, how
4 ever.
/ Recent major minor legislation
has made full working agree
ments more desirable from fin

Reports from Caribbean coun-
tries, where winter baseball is in
full swing, indicate that many new
major league prospects are bios
soming there. And you may be
sure, says The Sporting News, that
major league magnateS have their
eyes on them The Latin-Ameri-
can winter circuits have gained
considerable stature in recent
years, and today they rank second
only to the higher minors as prov
ing grounds for major league
prospects.
The Sporting News says that
many major league bigwigS and
scouts, instead of spending the off
season in quiet comfort and rest
ing for the campaign ahead, spend
weeks flying over the Caribbean
nations to look over players. The
Latin leagues are thoroughly
secuted. There's good reason. In
the last several years number of
major league players have had
their final polishing-off in the
Latin loops. Among outstanding
examples are Wally Moon n d
Brooks Lawrence of the Cardinals
and Jack Harshman of. the White
SoX
Latin stars in the majors go
back a number of years. The first
to win high renown under the Big
Top was Armando Marsans. He
Joined Cincinnati as an outfielder
back in 1911 and was around for
eight years. Other early arrivals
were Mike Consoles, who showed
up in 1912. and Dolf Luque, who
came up two years later.
In the 1930s and 1940s, says The
Sporting News. Joe Cambria,
Washington scout, had Cuba and
the rest of the atin-American
countries to himself He seemed to
be the only one interested in beat
ing through the canebrakes look
ing for talent. He dug up num-
ber of good men. The first Cuban
he introduced was Bobby Esta-
leila, who broke in with the Sen
ators in 1885. Later he sent along
