Lew Mont- gomery, Boston Colleges Negro star, played In a colored game at New Orleans a day or so before the Sug- ar Bowl game and was Just as much of a sensation as Charlie O'Rourke was in the main event. Football games are going to be, a bit more difficult.for the average spectator to watch next fall—that is if he is one who likes to keep track of the ball-carrier and who he is. Formerly all one had to do was watch four men on each team—the backfieldera—and occasionally the ends. But un- der the new rule adopted last week, grandstand era will have to keep their eyes on 22 mn for now all playera will be poten- tial bail handlers. Of course, under the old rule any player could carry the ball but it meant that such a player, guard or tackle, would have to drop back of the line of scrimmage. That made it pretty impractical* Now, according to the way we read the new rule, the quarterback can take the pass from center and immediately hand it back to the center who, in turn, can lower his headj and butt away for a yard or so, or the quarterback could slip it to a guard or tackle. Of course these are extreme cases and it isn't likely that the use of the new version of the forward pass (they don't call it a pass) will see linemen developing into ball- carriers, ''""*' What will develop, however, will be more spinner and re- verse plays. Under the new regulation a halfback will be able to take a snap from center, turn halfway around, fake a pass to a player crossing behind him, then complete the spin and hand it to another player coming in the opposite direction Certain the new rule is designed to open up the game and, under master of gridiron legerdemain like Andy Kerr of Col- gate, some teams will develop highly tricky attacks. But such tactics will call for plenty of speed and timing and the mine run of teams may not be able to take full advantage of the change. As Coach Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech says. "Only experimentation with that sort of offense can determine whether trie rule will add much to the game or not."

Remarkable {progress has been mr-de in the erec- I tion of the alleys both at the Ni- agara Bowling center on Niagara street, which, it is planned, will open Us doors to the public on or about Jan. 15; and at the Central establishment on Nineteenth street, which Is being entirely renovated and part of which Is expected to be ready for the bowlers by the mid- dle of the current month. « • • WORK MOVING FAST It's a bit difficult to judge what the finished product will be like for both places at present are In a welter of material, machinery and workmen. There's so much activity going on that traffic signals are al- most necessary to keep plumbers from bumping into carpenters and painters from slde-swlplng brick layers and plasterers. But the work Is being done—well and rapidly. To the unitiated like ourselves it would appear as thought it would take months to restore order out of the present chaos of construction but contractors at both buildings were firm In their assurance that, bar- ring unforseen delays, work will be completed long before the end of this month. • • MODERN LAYOUT We are no expert on bowling al- leys but from what we could gathe: the new slides on Niagara street together with the additional equip- ment necessary are going to most modern in all respects. It will be almost strictly a "bowlers" building for Jim Rlenzo. the owner, Is leav- LUBBOCK, Tex—<*>—Texas Tech plans no "de-empbasizaUon" of football but is anxious to ar- range an even stronger schedule. Chairman W. L. Stangel of the ath- letic council said today In explaining the rift that resulted In the resig- nation of Head Coach Pete Caw- thon. Stangel reported the council felt the Red Raiders should play more teams in this territory, specifically Hardln-Simmons university. It was over the Abilene school that the final break with Cawthon came, Stangel added, asserting Caw- thon expressed himself against playing Hardln-Simmons either Jn a post-season game or next geason. Cawthon resigned yesterday along with Russell T. Smith, line coach; Berl Huffman, head basketball coach and assistant football coach, and G. C. Dowell, graduate manager of athletics. He said the council "wanted us to go back to playing smalt schools like we used to play when I came here ten years ago." Stangel declared "we feel that the fans are justified in seeking grid games of a major caliber here and that Texas Tech's team Is in the major classification. "But we feel that Tech should arrange to play more elevens in this territory. I refer specifically to Hardin-Simmons university, a ma- jor attraction from every angle." The resignations must be submit- ted to" the board of directors. The general opinion was that the board would accept the resignations of Sawthon and Smith but that Huff- man and Dowell might be rehired. Speculation of Lubbock fans over j Cawthon's successor included Blair Cherry, former Amarillo high school coach and now on the University of Texas staff; Line Coach Dell Mor- gan of Rice and Frank Kimbrough, head coach of Hardin-Simmons. ATTRACTIVE BUILDING But not only are they laying new alleys at Central; they're doing a great deal more than that. The new layout will be more in the na- ture of. a club. A brand new and attractive front with a marc,ue is being erected now. The lobby will be beautifully fitted out and off it bowlers will find modern locker rooms, a cocktail lounge, a restau- rant, etc. Maybe they're going to be shower baths as well. We for- got to ask Sammy and Al about that. FINE LIGHTING SYSTEM But what attracted us most was the new lighting system.

By GEORGE K1KKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, — QJJ3 —It took a miracle for the Detroit Tigers to win the pennant in 1W0 and it'll take even more of a miracle for them to repeat in 1941. The orer-age infield that every- one though, would collapse last sea- son is a year older and it's doubtful if all the adhesive tape, gauze and elastic bandages in the land can hold it together again this season. Clark Griffith's no-trade rule. for a champion stymied the Tigere who would undoubtedly made extensive efforts to strengthen their inner de- fense. So the Tigers must go along with the same infield they had last season. f The infield problem is bad enough but the Tigers' major worry is like- ly to develop In another quarter. The luck of the draft lottery gave Hank Greenberg, American league's most valuable player and home run champion, a very low conscription number of (621) and the present in- dications are that hell be called to the colors in June. Since Hank is physically fit, unmarried and has no dependents, he is likely material for the army. The strength of the Tigers lies in their power, but the loss of ^Greenberg" would put a serious crimp in Detroit's vaunted punch. In fact, it's doubtful if the Tigers could repeat even with Greenberg playing a full schedule. Without him the Tigers might take a terrific drop. Brightest spot in the Detroit out- look is the pitching. Buck Newsom. Schoolboy Howe and Tommy Bridges will form the veteran first line. Floyd Giebell, who beat Bob Feller to the pennant-clinching game, Johnny Gorsica, who did a brilliant relief job is the World series, and Hal Newhouser, the Kid southpaw, are all knocking at the door. Others from last year's squad who'll be back are Dizzy Trout, who'll wear the new contact glasses instead of spectacles, Tom Seats, Al Benton, Fred Hutchinson and Archie McKain. The rookie pitching crop is top- notch. Beaumont is sending up four talented youngsters—Leslie Mueller, Charlie Fuchs. Virgil (Fire) Trucks, and Harold Manders—besides the veteran Luther (Bud) Thomas, back stitute is L. D. Meyer, who came up late last season from Knoxville and Ls far from another Gehringer, Dick Bartell, who's approaching 34, will be back at short Pinky Higgins. who'll be 32 in May, will return to third. Eric McNalr was bought from the White Sox at the waiver price as a utility man. Frankie Croucher is also available for utility duty. Two Beaumont rookies, Murray Franklin and Boyd Perry, don't seem to be ready. Hank Greenberg will start in left, Barney McCosky in center and Bruce Campbell and George Stain- back will probably alternate in right. The four newcomers In, the outfield are Bob Patrick and Ned Harris from Beaumont, Pat Mullin from Buffalo and Bill Hapac from Evansville. Harris had the best record, htting .312. Birdie Tebbetts and Billy Sullivan again will divide the catching, with probably Dixie Parsons, who hit 264 at Beaumont, the No. 3 man, (Tomorrow: Cleveland Indians.)

(Bf the Aticctattd Prtttj The Toronto Maple Lea is crippled but courageous, are in front of the National Hoc*ey league, ready to resist the challenge ol the Detroit Redwings in a fmish fight. The Leafs managed to edge pas; the Montreal Canadiens in a des- perate overtime battle last mgh:, 4-3, while the best the Wings could achieve at Boston was a 1-1 ; ie thus dropping Detroit a pom', be- hind Toronto in the standings Sharing the scene with the.se u 0 scraps for first place was a riotous struggle between the Chicago Bhcfc- hawks and the New York Rar.gers, who staged the fiercest free-for-alls that hockey fans in Madison Square Garden had seen since the Rangers and the Bruins battled it out in the Stanley Cup series' of 1939—when Eddie Shore's nose was broken. A string of minor incidents led to the big flareup to the second stanza when the game was delayed ten minutes, to the enjoyment of 11,000 frenzied fans, while both squads waged one mighty battle royal. Defenseman Joe Cooper of Chi- cago, who figured to two separate fights and drew major penalties for each, 'had to have three stitchei taken to his lip, and other players suffered an assortment of cuts and bruises. A half dozen policemen were sum- moned to keep order in the penalty box when Referee Bill Stewart finally restored order. The Hawks won the game, inci- dentally, 3-2, and advanced into & tie with the Rangers for fourth place. Toronto's triumph checked a slump that was climaxed last week- end when the Wings moved into a tie for the lead. It was the Leafs' second victory in eight starts, and was achieved with the team still without its ace defenseman, Bingo Kampman and- Jack Church, and wingman Gus Marker. But the Leafs were keyed up for the test, scored once in the first period and again at the start of the third to take a 2-0 lead. Elmer Lach tallied twice in quick succes- sion to tie the score for Montreal, then each team counted a goal to send the game into overtime. The deadlock eventually was broken in 5:23 of the extra period when Don Metz shot home a relay from Red Hamilton and Sweeney Shriner. At Boston the Wings took the lead late in the first period on a goal by Carl Liscombe, but rookie Terry Reardon knotted the score midway to the second period, and neither club could do anything to break it. It was the fourth straight tie for Boston. Americans spend about $80,000,* 000 a year on doughnuts. NEW YORK (tfV-Thc New Haven Eagles. Titans of the east, and the Cleveland Barons.

WIN FAIRLY EASILY

Eagles Make Trip Into North County To Face Larries, En­

gineers This Weekend.

Displaying It* best form of the season Niagara's basketball team encountered little difficulty In bang­ing up a 43 to 24 triumph over the Lairrence Tech quintet of Detroit last night for its fourth victory In twice SJI many starw.

With Captain Dan DeSantts and center Nick Orumsweig tossing in baskets with machine-like accuracy and regularity the Purple Eagles Jumped into a quick lead and were never threatened.

Build Up Big Lead In the opening seconds of play

Grumwelg tipped in the first basket and from that point on It was Just a scoring parade, Interrupted only spasmodically as the train-weary Detroitera rallied to show flashes of brilliant passwork and accurate shooting. Orunsweig scored four baskets and dropped in four foul shota for 12 points while Dan De

Meagher has put Col. Elmer 8alter, the Auburn drum beater, to work coaching the fresh­man cage squad . . . Lew Mont­gomery, Boston Colleges Negro star, played In a colored game at New Orleans a day or so before the Sug­ar Bowl game and was Just as much of a sensation as Charlie O'Rourke was in the main event.

Football games are going to be, a bit more difficult.for the average spectator to watch next fall—that is if he is one who likes to keep track of the ball-carrier and who he is.

Formerly all one had to do was watch four men on each team—the backfieldera—and occasionally the ends. But un­der the new rule adopted last week, grandstand era will have to keep their eyes on 22 mn for now all playera will be poten­tial bail handlers.

Of course, under the old rule any player could carry the ball but it meant that such a player, guard or tackle, would have to drop back of the line of scrimmage. That made it pretty impractical*

Now, according to the way we read the new rule, the quarterback can take the pass from center and immediately hand it back to the center who, in turn, can lower his headj and butt away for a yard or so, or the quarterback could slip it to a guard or tackle.

Of course these are extreme cases and it isn't likely that the use of the new version of the forward pass (they don't call it a pass) will see linemen developing into ball­carriers, ''""*'

What will develop, however, will be more spinner and re­verse plays. Under the new regulation a halfback will be able to take a snap from center, turn halfway around, fake a pass to a player crossing behind him, then complete the spin and hand it to another player coming in the opposite direction

Certain the new rule is designed to open up the game and, under master of gridiron legerdemain like Andy Kerr of Col­gate, some teams will develop highly tricky attacks. But such tactics will call for plenty of speed and timing and the mine run of teams may not be able to take full advantage of the change.

As Coach Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech says. "Only experimentation with that sort of offense can determine whether trie rule will add much to the game or not."

ALLEYS VEAR COMPLETION We took a quick trip out to see

this city's two new bowling estab­lishments yesterday—one of them will be brand new while the other will be almost that. Remarkable

{progress has been mr-de in the erec-I tion of the alleys both at the Ni­agara Bowling center on Niagara street, which, it is planned, will open Us doors to the public on or about Jan. 15; and at the Central establishment on Nineteenth street, which Is being entirely renovated and part of which Is expected to be ready for the bowlers by the mid­dle of the current month.

« • • WORK MOVING FAST

It's a bit difficult to judge what the finished product will be like for both places at present are In a welter of material, machinery and workmen. There's so much activity going on that traffic signals are al­most necessary to keep plumbers from bumping into carpenters and painters from slde-swlplng brick layers and plasterers. But the work Is being done—well and rapidly. To the unitiated like ourselves it would appear as thought it would take months to restore order out of the present chaos of construction but contractors at both buildings were firm In their assurance that, bar-ring unforseen delays, work will be completed long before the end of this month.

• • • MODERN LAYOUT

We are no expert on bowling al­leys but from what we could gathe: the new slides on Niagara street together with the additional equip­ment necessary are going to most modern in all respects. It will be almost strictly a "bowlers" building for Jim Rlenzo. the owner, Is leav-

LUBBOCK, Tex—<*>—Texas Tech plans no "de-empbasizaUon" of football but is anxious to ar­range an even stronger schedule. Chairman W. L. Stangel of the a th­letic council said today In explaining the rift that resulted In the resig­nation of Head Coach Pete Caw­thon.

Stangel reported the council felt the Red Raiders should play more teams in this territory, specifically Hardln-Simmons university.

I t was over the Abilene school that the final break with Cawthon came, Stangel added, asserting Caw­thon expressed himself against playing Hardln-Simmons either Jn a post-season game or next geason.

Cawthon resigned yesterday along with Russell T. Smith, line coach; Berl Huffman, head basketball coach and assistant football coach, and G. C. Dowell, graduate manager of athletics.

He said the council "wanted us to go back to playing smalt schools like we used to play when I came here ten years ago."

Stangel declared "we feel that the fans are justified in seeking grid games of a major caliber here and that Texas Tech's team Is in the major classification.

"But we feel that Tech should arrange to play more elevens in this territory. I refer specifically to Hardin-Simmons university, a ma­jor attraction from every angle."

The resignations must be submit­ted to" the board of directors. The general opinion was that the board would accept the resignations of Sawthon and Smith but that Huff­man and Dowell might be rehired.

Speculation of Lubbock fans over j Cawthon's successor included Blair Cherry, former Amarillo high school coach and now on the University of Texas staff; Line Coach Dell Mor­gan of Rice and Frank Kimbrough, head coach of Hardin-Simmons.

ATTRACTIVE BUILDING But not only are they laying new

alleys at Central; they're doing a great deal more than that. The new layout will be more in the na­ture of. a club. A brand new and attractive front with a marc,ue is being erected now. The lobby will be beautifully fitted out and off it bowlers will find modern locker rooms, a cocktail lounge, a restau­rant, etc. Maybe they're going to be shower baths as well. We for­got to ask Sammy and Al about that.

the new lighting system. Floures-cent lighting has been installed and i the alleys will be illuminated as bright as a summer day.

By GEORGE K1KKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, — QJJ3 —It took a

miracle for the Detroit Tigers to win the pennant in 1W0 and it'll take even more of a miracle for them to repeat in 1941.

The orer-age infield that every­one though, would collapse last sea­son is a year older and it's doubtful if all the adhesive tape, gauze and elastic bandages in the land can hold it together again this season. Clark Griffith's no-trade rule. for a champion stymied the Tigere who would undoubtedly made extensive efforts to strengthen their inner de­fense. So the Tigers must go along with the same infield they had last season. f

The infield problem is bad enough but the Tigers' major worry is like­ly to develop In another quarter. The luck of the draft lottery gave Hank Greenberg, American league's most valuable player and home run champion, a very low conscription number of (621) and the present in­dications are that hell be called to the colors in June. Since Hank is physically fit, unmarried and has no dependents, he is likely material for the army.

The strength of the Tigers lies in their power, but the loss of

^Greenberg" would put a serious crimp in Detroit's vaunted punch. In fact, it's doubtful if the Tigers could repeat even with Greenberg playing a full schedule. Without him the Tigers might take a terrific drop.

Brightest spot in the Detroit out­look is the pitching. Buck Newsom. Schoolboy Howe and Tommy Bridges will form the veteran first line. Floyd Giebell, who beat Bob Feller to the pennant-clinching game, Johnny Gorsica, who did a brilliant relief job is the World series, and Hal Newhouser, the Kid southpaw, are all knocking at the door. Others from last year's squad who'll be back are Dizzy Trout, who'll wear the new contact glasses instead of spectacles, Tom Seats, Al Benton, Fred Hutchinson and A r c h i e McKain.

The rookie pitching crop is top-notch. Beaumont is sending up four talented youngsters—Leslie Mueller, Charlie Fuchs. Virgil (Fire) Trucks, and Harold Manders—besides the veteran Luther (Bud) Thomas, back

stitute is L. D. Meyer, who came up late last season from Knoxville and Ls far from another Gehringer, Dick Bartell, who's approaching 34, will be back at shor t Pinky Higgins. who'll be 32 in May, will return to third. Eric McNalr was bought from the White Sox at the waiver price as a utility man. Frankie Croucher is also available for utility duty. Two Beaumont rookies, Murray Franklin and Boyd Perry, don't seem to be ready.

Hank Greenberg will start in left, Barney McCosky in center and Bruce Campbell and George Stain-back will probably alternate in right. The four newcomers In, the outfield are Bob Patrick and Ned Harris from Beaumont, Pat Mullin from Buffalo and Bill Hapac from Evansville. Harris had the best record, htting .312.

Birdie Tebbetts and Billy Sullivan again will divide the catching, with probably Dixie Parsons, who hit 264 at Beaumont, the No. 3 man,

The Toronto Maple Lea is crippled but courageous, are in front of the National Hoc*ey league, ready to resist the challenge ol the Detroit Redwings in a fmish fight.

The Leafs managed to edge pas; the Montreal Canadiens in a des­perate overtime battle last mgh:, 4-3, while the best the Wings could achieve at Boston was a 1-1 ; ie thus dropping Detroit a pom', be­hind Toronto in the standings

Sharing the scene with the.se u 0 scraps for first place was a riotous struggle between the Chicago Bhcfc-hawks and the New York Rar.gers, who staged the fiercest free-for-alls that hockey fans in Madison Square Garden had seen since the Rangers and the Bruins battled it out in the Stanley Cup series' of 1939— when Eddie Shore's nose was broken.

A string of minor incidents led to the big flareup to the second stanza when the game was delayed ten minutes, to the enjoyment of 11,000 frenzied fans, while both squads waged one mighty battle royal.

Defenseman Joe Cooper of Chi­cago, who figured to two separate fights and drew major penalties for each, 'had to have three stitchei taken to his lip, and other players suffered an assortment of cuts and bruises.

A half dozen policemen were sum­moned to keep order in the penalty box when Referee Bill Stewart finally restored order.

The Hawks won the game, inci­dentally, 3-2, and advanced into & tie with the Rangers for fourth place.

Toronto's triumph checked a slump that was climaxed last week­end when the Wings moved into a tie for the lead. It was the Leafs' second victory in eight starts, and was achieved with the team still without its ace defenseman, Bingo Kampman and- Jack Church, and wingman Gus Marker.

But the Leafs were keyed up for the test, scored once in the first period and again at the start of the third to take a 2-0 lead. Elmer Lach tallied twice in quick succes­sion to tie the score for Montreal, then each team counted a goal to send the game into overtime. The deadlock eventually was broken in 5:23 of the extra period when Don Metz shot home a relay from Red Hamilton and Sweeney Shriner.

At Boston the Wings took the lead late in the first period on a goal by Carl Liscombe, but rookie Terry Reardon knotted the score midway to the second period, and neither club could do anything to break it. It was the fourth straight tie for Boston.

Americans spend about $80,000,* 000 a year on doughnuts.

NEW YORK (tfV-Thc New Haven Eagles. Titans of the east, and the Cleveland Barons. Titian* of (he west in the American hockey league, tangle tonight at Cleveland aud­itorium in a mid-season struggle for supremacy.

Both clubs are leading their divi­sions by only two points and Its' a safe bet each will go "all out'' tonight.

Losses to Philadelphia and Provi­dence over the week-end reduced Cleveland's lead over the second-place Hershey Bear* to one gamp, but the Bears are Idle tonight and won't have a chance to draw even with the Barons In case of n New Haven victory.

The Eagles are not so fortunate because the Springfield Indians, eastern ilivlslon runners-up battle the Providence Reds tonight on home Ice. A vlctoo' for Springfield and a defeat for New Haven would put the Indinns Into a tie for the lead.

N E W H A V E N . Conn.—vp—Les Cunningham dldn t meet with much success in tallying last week, but a solitary goal was enough to keep him on top of the American hockey j league's scoring crowd.

Fred Thurrler ls listed as the i leading scorer with 33 points, two more than Cunningham, but the former Springfield ace hasn't been j in the league for several weeks, having been promoted to the New j York Americans of the National clr-1 cult. Ditto Fred Hunt and his 29 points

Cunningham's real opposition comes from Lloyd Roubell of Pitts­burgh with 29 and Olen Brydson of Springfield with 28. From there down it's a free for all.

Ed Bush tops the rules violators i with 42 minutes spent In the penalty j box. thre more minutes than Buck Jones of Indianapolis.
