The chances are that most Big Ten schools would have had representatives enroute to Lawrence, without delay if the faculty directors had rescinded the rule which says that athletic service in such institutions counts against the career of an athlete if he moves to another Bchool as McLain did.

WALSH International News Service Sports Editor New York, Dec.

10. Jack Sharkey, the restrained, distant young man from Boston, will be returned to circulation up in his home town for a 10-round frolic with Arthur De Kuh tonight and Tex Rickard and his directors of Madison Square Garden probably aren't casually interested. They are scared stupid. For all they know, Mr. Sharkey may be fixing to enact another Hanson-Christner disaster.

Wanted to Save Hanson They got the tidings on that one only a few days ago and expect to recover with kindness and tender care. It completely eliminated one of the head men before the heavy, weight elimination event could start doing big things in a big way and, while they had realized that Hanson had one of the most docile chins in, all pugilism, they felt they had reason to expect slightly more wilfulness than this. Besides, they had wanted to save it for a handful of. knuckles that could be used to further advantage, meaning theirs. So, they tremble for Sharkey today and for several reasons, one ot which Is that they would like to keep him, as is, against tha posslbll.

I it it- Business Really Transacted Vf INOR league baseball men actually have finished an annual meeting AfX at which they transacted some business. In the past, this really hasn't been the custom at all. But things are changing and maybe the baseball men have caught the spirit, too.

After winning a pennant in 1927, the Hens waited too long on major league promises and by the time the season was under way they had a ball club full of holes.

Sl as Major New York Mayes McLain Will Play Football With Some Team Iowa City, Dec 10.

(U.R) Mayes McLain, Iowa's Indian fullback, who was barred from further competition In the Big Ten, will play football next year, either with the Olympic club of San Francisco or a profeslson-al team In Honolulu, he said today. Having played two years at Haskell and one year at Iowa, McLain was declared Ineligible at the Big Ten meeting in Chicago Saturday. McLain said he would accept Coach Dick Hanley's offer to play with the eastern eleven In the annual East-West football game In San Francisco Dec. 29. PLAIN'S PLANS ARE INDEFINITE To Complete Term at School; Is Keenly Disappointed Iowa City, Iowa, Dee.

30. (INS) While expressing keen disappointment over the ruling of the western conference eligibility committee which bars him from future Big Ten competition, Mayes McLain, Iowa's Indian fullback, today maintained a stoical attitude In regard to the decision. He declared he would continue In school here to the end of this term, but that he had no Idea of giving up the playing of football next season. He indicated he would play either in the pro or amateur game, probably with the Olympic club of San Francisco or a pro team at Honolulu.

Will Get Players The local magnate returned to the home town Sunday with only one player, Mule Shirley, to show for his visit to Toronto, but with the information that Washington will begin paying off In talent as soon as the major league meetings have been completed Jn New York and Chicago Washington, naturally, will fur nish Mike Kelley a good share of his playing talent for next year, but Clark Griffith has a deal' on with Boston this week and until he closes this one he won't be In a position to give Minneapolis what It has coming in return for Adolph LI ska, Elmer Toter, Spencer Harris and Grant Gillls. Mike Kelley has a date with Griffith Jn Chicago Wednesday, but hopes to complete negotiations with the Washington boss for players over the telephone this week. Kelley was real enthusiastic about the addition of Bill Meyer as his first assistant "Bill was as tickled as a youngster," said Mike today, "when he signed a contract with me. What's more.

Bill wants to do some catching nest season and maybe we can use him In a double role He should be very popular here as be will be Hble to do a lot of good In development of pitchers. I may turn over the spring training camp activities to Meyer if I find it necessary to go to major league headquarters to get additional talent for bis team." Pongo to Have Charge Kelley also stated that In his new position as umpire In chief of the American association, Joe Cantillon will have complete charge of hiring, firing and criticizing the arbiters. He already has gone to work on his new task, and may have some changes to announce before the teams head for the southland In March. The Minneapolis magnate expects to spend the entire winter at home. He has quite a lot of surplus talent to get rid of and he went to work on that task this Catcher Bill Warwick Is the first to go.

having been sold to San Antonio of the Texas league. He came to the Millers from that team originally. Several baseball deals of Importance are still hanging fire In the American association. Bob Connery of St. Paul stayed over In Chicago where he hopes to get his hands on Bubbles Hargrave so that he can officially appoint him manager for next year.

Betzel Hasn't Signed Bruno Betzel hasn't come to terms with James Perry of Indianapolis yet, but the chances are that he will be signed In the near future. Johnny Corriden has been retained as assistant at an Increase In salary after refusing the Louisville managerial position. COLEMAN WILL HEADLINE CARD Will Meet Joe Kell in Main Event at Potts Gymnasium. Among the list of boxers on the Pitts program tonight appears the name of the St. Paul Kid.

And the boys have been wondering for quite awhile ju3t who he Is, so Jlmmle announced this morning that he Is none other than Mel Coleman, the St. Paul welterweight who opened the Auditorium show last week by knocking out Mark Olson. The St. Paul Kid meets Kell tonight and Kell thereby gets his real test He is Ernie Flelgel's promising welter who has been coming along and is believed ready for com. petition that has been baptized at the regular pro fights.

Tonight's headliner finds Billy Murray meeting Bud Soltis, Frank, le's brother, who also has appeared on bigegr cards and Potts promises more such battling In the future. Other bouts on the program which will start at 8:15 p.m. at the are as follows: Ben Monk vs. Do Hlllstrom. 142.

Pyle's New York Yankees be- lore spectators at Yankee stadium yesterday. The game was played on a snow.cnvrH crri.iimn The Yankees scored first, but the woivennes tlea the score before the nd of the first period and added a touchdown in each of the second and third quarters and two In the final period. In the final period, Friedman threw a 40-vard nana width of the field to Handela, former Kansas Aggie star, who tan 35 yards iui it luuuaaown.

Worked Last Season Murphy Is not hard to remember as the unimaginative but mechanically perfect featherweight who took the local boys In order last season and carved his designs upon the features of each of them. Inasmuch as North, another invader from the brush, has done approximately the same thing during his short stay here the prospect is for an even and a busy fight. Murphy, the boxer and jabber, and North the strong and willing slugger, promise to make a stirring fight, Wayne Short, the opponent selected for McCabe, had his education in St. Paul gymnasiums but has done no fighting here. He has, however, been setting up a notable record in the smaller clubs of the northwest and Includes in that record a well earned draw with North in North's home town.

That in Itself seems to qualify him as an opponent for McCabe for North clearly outpointed McCabe when they met In St. Paul a month ago. The program now has Light against Tracey for ten rounds. My Sullivan against Archie Amons for eight rounds, Spud Murphy against Ernie North for six, Wayne Short against Billy McCabe for four and Zip Zitzer against Eddie Beesner, also for four. Meets Grose Tonight With everything in order for Fri-day's fight the promoters are w-alt- lng impatiently for returns from Sioux Falls, 8.D., where Meyer Grace, Chicago's strong man, has a chance to knock things out of order again by springing a surprise against uiiiy Light.

The fact that a victory for Grace would be a surprise does not mean, of course, that it Is entirely beyond the bounds of possibility Grace Is slow and a bit old but he is still dangerous In his muscular way and the promoters will feel a bit easier when that match Is in the records. Carroll, McCann, Haleu on December 18 Program Although the next Minn eannlla boxing show will not be staged at ine auditorium until Dec. 18. local promoters were busy today arranging their preliminaries for the Mik Mandell-Harry Dillon main event of 10 rounds. One of these nrellmlnaria win find Jack Carroll battlina- with Tom Haley of Olivia over the four-round route.

Jack McCann of Bismarck will be on the card in a six rounder, prob acy against Tommy Havel. This match may be arranged today. Mike Collins, matchmaker, is in communication with Joe Smith, man ager of Tommy Loughran, In an effort to get the light heavyweight champion to battle the winner of the Mandell-Dlllon clash. Collins will go to Chicago Saturday to talk terms with the Loughran part. Tickets for the Dec.

Coach George Keogan's University of Notre Dame basketball quintet will get Its first test of the season tonight, when It meets the Armour Tech five of Chicago at Notre Dame, For the past several seasons, the Technicians have served as trial horses for Keogan's machines, and it Is seldom that they do not give the Irish a battle. Keogan expects a strong argument from them this year, and is working his men at a fast pace this week In order to have them functioning as smoothly as possible for the opening game.

Since John Colrlck, center, has been prevented by his football activities from reporting for cage practice as yet. Bob Voglewede, Bob Newbold or Marshall Klzer will hold down the pivot position in the opening, game, with Captain Crowe and Captain Jachym at the forward positions, and Ed Smith and Clarence Donovan at the guard berths Tim Moynihan and Jim Bray, other veteran guards, also have been kept away from the basketball court because of football, and they will not be ready for the Armour Tech game. Bray alternated with Donovan at the floor guard Job last season, and Is a veteran of two years' experience. Moynihan Is a capable back guard, but since he fractured an arm In the Southern California football game, he will not be available for several weeks. MERY, VASQUEZ FIGHT DRAW Lima, Peru, Dec.

Baseball magnates and managers gathered here today for the annual meeting of the National league at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel the magnates to talk business and the managers to talk trade. The session will end Tuesday and then on Thursday the National and American leagues will hold a joint meeting at Chicago. Only Routine Matters Only routine mat ra were scheduled to come up before the executive session. The reelection of John Heydler as president of the league was the outstanding event on the program. Without any opposition, Heydler probably will be reelected for a term of five years and it seemed probable that his salary would be raised.

His present salary Is $25,000. Prior to the national league meeting, the board of directors of the Brooklyn Robins gathered across the river for what was expected to develop Into one of the stormiest sessions Jn years In the fight to oust Wilbert Robinson as manager of the club.

The quintet was temporarily broken up as most of the players en. tered colleges after completing their 1 prep school work.

This year, how. ever, all ot the men are out of school and the following players are back on the team: Dots Rasmussen, Corky Ware, Toots West man. Art Tveraa, Ylddy Blumenfeld, Frank Telak. Arne Rasmussen and Rap Andreson. It Is highly probable that the team's former coach, Otto Eggbrecht, will again pilot the men.

The former South cagers are the only team In-the state that uses this style of offense and defense combined.
