3-The white football is out
Night games will be played with
10 brown ball with white stripes,
day games with a brown ball
with no stripes.
Rams Coach Sid Gillman's
idea Of extending the goal posts
upward will be tried out in pre-
season games at the option Of
the home team. The league will
study the results before trying
the idea in regular season play.
1t also was determined that
there will be no more "if" deals.
A player being traded from
Team A to Team B cannot be
returned to Team A for two
years unless through waivers or
after having become the prop
erty Of q third club.
The league schedule will be
drawn up by Commissioner Bert
Bell and his schedule will be
final, with no club being en-
titled to an appeal.
First order Of business for to-
day was to be the proposal to
raise the player limit from 80 to
IS men.
The IL club owners opened the
meeting by voting Bell a $40, 900
bonus and then went into their
discussion Of the rules.
The commissioner draws a sal
airy Of $4,000 year. plus $10,-
900 more annually for a trust
fund. Thus, yesterdays bonus,
in effect, boosted the figure to
$50. 900.
The gesture refuted a report
several weeks ago that Bell
would be voted out Of the job. d..
Among other proposed rules
changes voted down was one re-
quiring q punter to stand within
10 yards Of the scrimmage line.
The owners also voted down a
recommendation by the Rams
that the stadium clock be the
official timepiece. It was noted
that there is still too much dam
ger Of q mechanical breakdown
to trust these devices.

It seems to us that the lnuscu-
lar. ambitious youngsters Of
those days had q better chance
Of reaching the top than their
modern counterparts, even If
the pay wasn't as good. For one
thing. there were more oppor-
tunities to fight with hundreds

Lou Gevinson, a Jewish light

up in New York under smart

Tony Zale in Chicago-he had

fortune. But Steve was born IS
years too soon. He'd be a SEN

Mamakos outweighed Henry
Armstrong. but we always
thought he was the one man the
former triple-champion couldn't
have licked at equal weights. We
still think Steve would have been
ready for more when Henry was
ready for bed. Mamakos was a
breed of the old 20-round school.
No puncher, but a tireless plod-

opponents by taking their Sum

Scooter Scudero of the Red
skins may have pulled q skull
in the Pro Bowl game In Los
Angeles Sunday. but it's our
guess that he won a million-to-
one gamble by tossing a hot
football into the surprised hands
of Field Judge Joe Gonzales.
We're speaking Of Joe's retreat
into the end zone for what APP
peared to be a two-polnt safety
and one-point victory for the
West. after catching Bert
Rechichar unsuccessful field-goal
try.
If 1t was a bluff on Scudero's
part it was worth some $4,000,
or 5000 to each man on Joe
Kuharich's East squad, for the
winners collected 500 apiece
and the losers $500. Whatever
Gonzales thought Of the play,
he reacted as an official nor
mally does when handed the oall
in the end zone by a player, and
started for the 20-yard line.
Maybe he didn't give 1t a second
thought, and maybe the "plane
of the ball was over the goal
line" as Sam Wilson, in charge
Of National Football League
officials. later explained. But
we can't help thinking Scudero,
caught in a faux pas, simply
tossed one hot football to Con-
zales, who was caught mapping,
and let him carry 1t to safety.
Scudero, of course. has a habit
of snagging kicks at the goal line
and trying to run EN- back in
stead Of letting them roll harm
lessly into the end zone. It may
not be sound football but it
makes for an exciting game and
shows the little guy is trying.
