SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. A (P.
DIR. William F. McColl says he
is thinking about quitting the
Chicago Bears after eight years
of gambling with his hands.
The rangy 1851 All-America
end from Stanford may play one
more season of pro football. But
he says the decision rests largely
on the advice of his associates at
Stanford Hospital, where he is
an $35-a-month assistant resi-
dent in surgery. AS a surgeon
he has to save his hands if he
can.
How he got there is an object
lesson in hard work and perse-
verence. After his graduation
from Stanford, where he played
three years of varsity football
Bill began leading a double life
with the Bears and medical
schools.
He said George Halas, owner
of the Bears, told him: when
football and medicine conflict
medicine takes precedence"
So, during exhibition seasons
McColl skipped practice and at
tended school-going variously to
Northwestern, Southern Califor-
mia, Columbia and the University
of Chicago. He would take a
dawn plane flight on Saturday
of the exhibition game, play in
the afternoon and fly back to

Some observers felt that they

On the other hand, there are
indications that the association
which professed to be concerned
more with rockies welfare, was
thinking more of the veterans.
Van Brocklin said he was dis
appointed in not gaining train

$4,000 base salary and an injury
clause in contracts.
The latter two were rejected
as unnecessary by Bell, who said
no player made less than $4,000

been fully compensated.
Players Resentful
The league did approve a pro-

These concessions actually
amount to little more than rec

BALTIMORE WASHINGTON

BALTIMORE. Feb. 4 Especially /.
- The Baltimore Washington
Catholic League, which receives
less attention here than in the
Capital City. got shot in the
arm yesterday from the play of
6-foot-7 Tom Hoover of Carroll
and 5-foot-7 Puddy Sheehan of
st. Johns against Baltimore

One Of the reasons for the
relative lack of enthusiasm is
that st. Johns ran away with
the first championship by a
three-game margin last year, and
Carroll and st. Johns this sea-

Baltimore team which can catch
up. Each team plays eight league

Carroll to 54-38 victory at

The jump-shots of Jim Howell,

son provided most of the scoring
for Carroll. which vaulted to a
1913 lead and never led by less
than nine points, thereafter
Howell got Is points, Wells Is
and johnson II. while Loyola' S
Ed Murn topped everyone with

St. Johns played its worst
game of the season. according
to Coach Joe Gallagher. but
Puddy played his best; he kept
us in there" Sheehan scored 80
points, including IA for IA from
the foul line.
Al Camacho. senior rebounder,

out in the third quarter. but the
Cadets got good efforts from Tom

Joe Quinn. No doubt about it.
lQuinn's transfer last week from
Mackin to DeMatha--a jump
from the laSt-place team to the
current front-runner in Division
II-has the tongues wagging.
Oficials at Georgetown PREP
are planning to go into the mat

Quinn, DeMatha wouldn't have
beaten Prep, 62-58. yesterday in
the first game of double-hea
at DeMatha. st. Anthony out
fought Mackin, 55-43, in the
second game.
But Props only recourse at the
league meeting will be to urge a
change in eligibility rules on
transfer athletes. for Quinn and
DeMatha are within bounds in
this maneuver. An old rule which
required at least one semester's
Iineligibility for transfers was
rescinded by the league q couple
of years ago.
Carroll Has Big Day
According to Coach Don Hill
ock Of Mackin. Quinn. a junior,
wanted to go to another school
Hillock hoped the youngster
would stay in the league and
suggested DeMatha, which is
even closer to his home than
Mackin. The DeMatha people
were delighted with the idea, es-
pecially since Quinn has been
one of the most talented ath-
letes at Mackin.
Anyway. Quinn scored l6
points for the Stays on a day
when Ernie Cage was falling shy
of his scoring average for the
fourth straight time. Only s.
Ifoot-9. he nevertheless helped
Bill Wilson with the rebounding
and Rudy Rutelionis with the
outside work against Props four
man zone.
But he wasn't the best player
on the floor yesterday. Tony Car

were handling zone assignments
Carroll bounded Cage and held
him to six points in the first
three quarters. Carroll also
scored "a points and was Props

eight at a most crucial time. A
jump shot lifted the Stays into
the lead for good at 50-49 and
two more baskets and pair Of

Prep gave 1t a good fight be-

kilograms. including one from
Ty Cobb. his old teammate and
"a member of the Hall of Fame
Mccarthy was one of the great
managers. He played second
base and managed in the minors
from 1906 to 1920. winning two
.pennants at Louisville, before he
moved up to manage the Cubs
in 1926.
Hits Jackpot at Stadium
The Cubs won the National
League flag under Mccarthy in
1929. losing to the Philadelphia
Athletics in the World Series
When Mccarthy moved to YAM
kee Stadium in 1881. he hit the
jackpot. The Yanks won eight
pennants and seven World Series
under Marse Joe, four of each in
succession from 1896 to 1899.
Until Casey Stengel came along
to make it five in a row froH
l949 through 1858. that was tops
After Larry MacPhail took
over the Yanks, Mccarthy re-
tired in May. 1916. He came
back a year later to take the
Red Sox job and held it from
1913 until the middle of 1850,
In his entire managing career
covering 80 years, Mccarthy
saw only one of his teams Eaisn
in the second division. the 1922
Louisville club which was sixth.
Mccarthy was famed as a
handler of men. He insisted his
Yanks wear ties and jackets on
the road. Although he had a
ready temper. he never criticized
a player in front of his team
mates. Most players who played
under Mccarthy called him the
best manager they ever had,
although his critics picked up
Jimmy Dykes phrase and called
him a 'push-button" manager
because the Yanks always were
able to bring up so much farm
talent when they needed help
Played 10 Years
Crawford belonged to an
earlier era. He played with Gin
cinnati from 1899 to 1902 and
with Detroit from 1908 to 1917,
teaming with Cobb in the out
field. His lifetime total of SO
homers looks meager in the
modern age. but he was a real
power hitter in the dead BALI
days. In fact. he was the only
man to lead both majors in
homers. the National with 16 at
Cincinnati in 1901 and the
American with seven at Detroit
in 1908. His lifetime total of 312
triples still is the major league
record and his 1914 total Of "a
triples still makes him co-holder
of the American League record.
In 10 years, Crawford man.
aged a lifetime average of .309
with a total of 1884 hits. only sc
short of the coveted 5000 mark.
A lefthanded hitter and thrower,
he hit 1873 in 1911 only to have
Cobb pick that year in which to
hit 400. So Crawford never won
the batting title.
At various stages of his career
he led a league in hits. doubles,
triples. homers. total bases, runs
batted in, slugging average,
chances accepted. putouts and
fielding average.
Crawford played first base at
times during his career. He
went to the Pacific Coast League
to play with Los Angeles from
1922 after his big league
days. He umpired in the Coast
League from 1885 to 1898.
