igm *| Whitney Supplants Pie Traynor in Skill.
P Purple-N. 1). Basket Series One of Best.
I bub
wC* & Michigan Star Is Voted ‘Most Valuable.’
jpiNKIE WHITNEY, bosom pal of Chuck Klein, has sup
planted Pie Traynor, Pirate notable, as the best fielding
third sacker in the National League and it’s the opinion of
many baseball observers that if a major loop manager were
given the choice of the two, Whitney, the Quakertown star,
would get the call despite the batting percentage edge held by
the Pittsburgh veteran.
Whitney has a wide bulge in ground covering ability, official fielding
statistics show. In 1932 he accepted a total of 472 chances to 422 for
Traynor. Putouts were 177 for Whitney; 137 for Traynor, and assists 276
and 222 respectively. The Philly player was charged with 19 errors and
27 were chalked against Pie.
The difference in double plays is marked. Pinkie participated m 31
to 14 for Traynor. and twin-killing execution is important, for it repre
sents swift and accurrate handling of the horsehide. Whitney was high
over all in fielding among regular hot corner guardians in the senior
major circuit.
Moreover, Pinkie was more durable than Pie, playing in 151 games
to 127. Age, of course, is all in favor of the Phillie athlete. He is 26 and
Traynor is 33. Stickwork averages list Pie with .329 and he is superior
there, Whitney closing the last season with .298. Pinkie collected the most
extra base swats, 33 doubles, 11 triples and 13 homers to Traynor's 27
doubles, 10 triples and 2 homers.
Whitney scored 93 runs to 74 for Traynor and in runs batted in the
Philly pastimer also was out in front of the veteran with 124 to 68.
Don Hurst and Chuck Klein, team mates, were the only sluggers in
the league to top Pinkie in runs batted in, a feature of baseball that sets
off a player as faint-hearted or courageous when runners are in scoring
position and the pitcher is "bearing down.”

NET HEAT IS ON AT EVANSTON
IF history repeats when Notre Dame and Northwestern collide on the
hardwood at Evanston tonight the basketball customers are sure to
be well entertained by an exhibition of smashing net fireworks. Keen
rivalry always has existed between the two universities in any line of
sport and in basketball, like football, the Wildcats and Irish toss caution
out the window and play a bang-up game.
The contest tonight will be the second tilt between the quintets this
season, Notre Dame having won on its home court, 28 to 25, giving the
Irish a lead of six victories to five over the Purple since Dutch Lonborg
took over the coaching reins at Evanston. George Keogan is coach of
the South Bend Hoosiers.
The No. 12 fracas tonight in the Lonborg-Keogan series will pull
the customers out of their seats if Northwestern grabs a close one on
its own floor. However, there will be plenty of Irish rooters on hand to
add to the din, on account of the fact many Notre Dame students reside
in the Chicago territory and are at their homes for the holiday season.
Eight of the eleven games in the series have been close, four points
or less separating the teams at the final gun. The 1930 tussle saw the
Wildcats gain the honors by a wide margin, 44 to 29, V’hen Joe Rieff
first broke into the sport headlines by scoring ten field goals against the

NEWMAN IS AWARDED FAIRBANKS TROPHY
AS a result of a voting campaign conducted among players on hun
dreds of teams by the Spor Newspaper Syndicate of Los Angeles,
Harry Newman, Michigan's brilliant 1932 quarter back, will receive the
Douglas Fairbanks trophy emblematic of being designated as the "most
valuable” football player in the nation.
Gridders who opposed the Wolverine star gave the elusive field
general the highest combined percentage rating and votes received by
any pigskin packer or lineman in the United States. This conclusion
was reached through the All Players, All-America system of rating in
which the players from every major university and college in the country
rate the various fundamentals of each player they played against during
their intercollegiate football year.
The field finally was narrowed to four stars. They were Newman,
Milton Summerfelf of Army Paul Moss of Purdue and Frank Christenson
of Utah. Others had an unusually high rating but these four towered
in percentage rating and votes over the rest of the country, in the
estimation of their foes.

CINCINNATI is not anticipating any contract troubles with Sunny
Jim Bottomley, its new first sackcr obtained from the Cardinals in
a recent trade. He has asked to be roomed with Chic Hafey, another
former Cardinal with the Reds. Jim explained: "Chick likes the picture
paper funnies and my hobby is detective stories, a combination of interest
that will supply plenty of entertainment.” There's another reason Bot
tomley is unlikely to hold out next spring. He will be married in
February.

John Doehring. the Milwaukee German who gained fame with the
Chicago Bears pro football team as a lefthanded pass thrower, hopes to
receive a tryout with the Chicago Cubs as a pitcher. He is a whale in
size. It is said several colleges prominent in football were interested in
Big John, but he made too many fumbles in the class rooms of prepara
tory schools and was short of university entrance requirements.

Rival Coaches Report Grid
Foes at Peak for
Monday Tilt.
BY GEORGE H. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent
LOS ANGELES. Dec.'3l.—The
head coaches of Pitt and Southern
California outlawed any chance for
an alibi today as their teams
finished practice for the tourna
ment of roses game at Pasadena
Monday.
Jock Sutherland, at Tucson, said
his Panthers were in top shape and
expressed satisfaction that the team
was prepared to do its best.
Howard Jones, at the Southern
California practice field, reported
his Trojans were "mentally and
physically fit.”
Weather Hampered Pitt
Thus the two coaches admitted
their elevens were as strong as they
could be and that the matter now
resolves to the better team.
Sutherland’s chie* worry was on
the physical line, the cold weather
back east having hampered his
team's workouts.
Jones’ problem was mostly psy
chological. He feared that the Tro
jans having won nineteen consecu
tive victories, might not take the
Pitt game as seriously as was neces
sary.
By use of a few explosives, a deal
of sarcasm and considerable hard
work, Jones has brought the Tro
jans to the point where they now
regard this as the toughest game of
the season.
75,000 Fans Expected
This same feeling seemed to be
reaching the rank and file of the
followers of southern Califorrya for
the odds on Southern California
shortened.
Twelve points were given Pitt
supporters for even money bets
several days ago, but only ten were
being offered here tonight.
It still was possible, however, to
find two to one money on South
ern California.
Southern California Reported the
ticket sale mounting with a crowd
of 60,00 already assured. They es
timated 75,000 would see the game.

Surprise Attack on Forward
Pass Made by Rules Group
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Walter R.
Okeson, new chairman of the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion's football rules committee, faces
two important gridiron problems in
1933, curbing the forward pass evil
and reducing gridiron casualties.
While Okeson and his committee
wrestle with these, Major John L.
Griffith, new president of the N.
C. A. A., will investigate widespread
subsidizing of college athletes and
try to reconcile college sports to de
pression budgets.
These are the outstanding New
Year tasks which emerged with the
two new officials from the associa
tion’s annual two-day meeting at
the Astor hotel. Both leaders ex
pressed confidence of progress on
these problems before the 1933 Chi
cago meeting, Dec. 29 and 30.
Okeson, one of football’s most
famous field officials and treasurer
of Lehigh university, was handed
his problems immediately on elec
tion to the post left vacant by E. K.
Hall’s death. The rules committee,
through Secretapr William S. Lang

a surprise attack on the forward
pass, and a warning that the game
