THE MICHIGAN DAILY PRESS PASSES - By BUD BENJAMIN - Only 100 Grand.. .. UST ONE PARTING SHOT, and J this column will turn the Hutch- ins' dispute over to the hot stove league. The following is an excerpt from the annual report of the Mich- gan Board in Control of Physical Ed- ucation for the year 1936 to 1937. "The result of our operations, financially speaking, is practical- ly determined by football income. Occasionally it is suggested that if football were eliminated from the program and all the remain- ing receipts including the student physical education fee,. devoted to carrying on the remaining ac- tivities, all would be well. It is obvious, however, that with such elimination, increased income from other sources amounting to approximately $100,000 a 'year would still have to be found. And if all intercollegiate sports were dropped, it would still be neces- sary to supplement incomes ex- elusive of such sports, by about $50,000 a year." Which simply means that 10-cent admissions would run the school al- most $100,000 into debt while com- plete abolition of all sports would still leave a $50,000 intramural sport deficit. BOB CONSIDINE of the I.N.S. has, what is in my opinion, an excel- lent suggestion for the elimination of football ties. It was sent t him by a Cincinnati football fan and goes like this: The point after touchdown rule should be changed so that- A place kick or drop /kick counts one point. A pass counts two points. Rushing the extra point suc- Cessfully nets three points. This rule, claims Considine, would give the game a new element of sus- pense. Suppose, for example, that a team is trailing 7 to 0 and in the waning minutes scores a touchdown. Instead of settling for a tie, this team has the option of passing or running for an 8 to 7 or 9 to 7 victory. The innovation, he concludes, would have two other associated effects:' (1) it would be a tremendous boon to the grandstand and coaches could cuss the hapless quarterbacks to death if they passed up a tie for an unsuccessful two or three point con- version; (2) it would find disapproval among the football pool operators who clean up each year on tie games. MIKE RODNICK, the quiet little gentleman with the flailing fists, made quite a name for himself last winter as a lightweight boxer in local Golden Gloves circles. An aggres- sive slugger, Rodnick, in his first year of boxing, punched his way to a Gol- den Gloves crown and was voted the outstanding boxer of the tournament. Since pugilism is frowned up- on by Michigan moguls, Mike turned to wrestling, also for the first time, this fall. Apparently he had more than a passing knowledge of professional histri- onics, for here's what happened. Working out with teammate Sawyer, Mike, sans the collegiate technique, picked up his astound- ed adversary, whirled him about merrily in a gay airplane spin, and crashed him to the mat with aresounding smack. Collegiate wrestling being a highly technical endeavor, this flagrant vi- olation of ethics provoked Coach Cliff Keen exceedingly. Aggressive Michael has been warned that such unmitigated brass will not be tolerat- ed in the future, and although the little scrapper is still out there learn- ing his fundamentals, it must be with considerable surprise that he realizes that two branches of the sport are similar only in name.

With a decision to reaffirm their standing of years against post season contests, the faculty advisors turned thumbs down on a plan which would have made the Rose Bowl game an annual contest between a Big Ten team and one from the Pacific Coast Conference. Adopt Following Motion The faculty representatives, point- ing out that no formal proposal for such a reciprocal arrangement ever had been received from West Coast authorities, adopted this motion: "In view of the wide publicity given to the matter of prolonging thlv foot- ball season so as to permit the play- ing of post season games, it was moved and carried that the Confer- ence reaffirm its ruling against such extension of the playing season." Little discussion, it was learned, preceded adoption of the motion, and the decision was practically unani- mous. On the West Coast, official silence greeted the Big Ten action. Table Is Authorized Authorization of the training table plan was speedily achieved. Schools will be permitted to- furnish the eve- ning meal daily to players through- out the gridiron season. Heretofore players have been furnished meals until the opening of classes. A Conference "B" football teams were voted permission to play Friday games and the faculty members de- cided that John Mariucci, crack Min- nesota junior end, is eligible for an- other year of Varsity competition. Mariucci played Varsity ball one year for Hibbing (Minn.) Junior College, while a freshman at the institution. It was decided that Junior College Varsity competition, while the player is a freshman at the college, does not constitute a year of Varsity compe- tition against the player should he transfer schools. Ball Games On Week-Ends Track coaches decided to hold the Central Collegiate Indoor Meet at' Notre Dame March 10-11 and the out- door meet June 2 at Marquette Uni- versity, Milwaukee. Baseball coaches, formulating their 1939 schedules, de- cided to play games regularly on Fri- days and Saturdays throughout the season and that each team should play every other Conference team within a five year span. Gophers Open Schedule Impressively; Win 46-36 MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 3.-(P)-The Minnesota basketball team opened its pre-conference schedule tonight by winning about as it pleased from South Dakota State, 46 to 36. While only 10 points separated the teams when the final gun sounded, Coach Dave MacMillan had an en- tire team of reserves in during the last eight or ten minutes when the Jackrabbits scored 14 points to only three for the Gophers. The Gophers led 23 to 8 at the half. Pittsburgh Backs Chosen HAMILTON, N.Y., Dec. 3.-(4P)- Coach Andy Kerr of Colgate an- nounced today that Marshall Gold- berg and Harold Stebbins, Pittsburgh backfield aces, have accepted invi- tations to play with the All-East team against the All-West eleven in San Francisco on New Years Day.

Beaten twice this year but deter- mined to"carry no more defeats into he Rose Bowl against Duke Jan. 2, '.he warriors of Troy upset the NotreI Dame hopes in two lightning-like thrusts that spelled gloom for the Irish. Trojans Score Early Coach Howard Jones' eleven stored the first touchdown in the fading moments of the first half after the Irish had gambled for a first down in midfield and lost, and hammered the Notre Dame defense 35 yards after ,ecovering a fumble late in the fourth period. It was the thirteenth annual struggle between these two inter-sec- tional foes, and the courageous lads from South Bend went into the game on the crest of eight victorious games. Minnesota, Northwestern, A r m y, Navy, and all the others on one of the toughest schedules in the land had surrendered to the Irish forces, but Troy refused to bend. Record Crowd Attends Packed in the Coliseum was the big- gest Los Angeles crowd of the colorful Notre Dame-U.S.C. series. It rivalled the huge throng that saw the game in Chicago in 1929. Keyed up to a pitch of excitement, both elevens missed scoring opportun- ities in the first part of the battle. Then came another opportunity for the so-called Notre Dame opportun- ists. But Bob Saggau, the splendid Irish sophomore halfback star, who tried to make three yards on fourth down, missed by one yard on the Irish 38. 1939 BASEBALL SCHEDULE: April 21-22, Michigan at Ohio St. May 5-6, Illinois at Michigan May 12-13, Indiana at Michigan May 18-19, Minnesota at Michigan May 22-23, Michigan at Wisconsin May 26-27, Michigan at Purdue Track Team's Trials Impress Leutritz Takes Half-Mile; Wisner Wins Mile Race With Coach Charlie Hoyt in Chi- cago at the Big Ten meeting, Ken Doherty put the varsity track team through its semi-final time trials of the pre-Christmas practice yesterday. The performance of the middle and distance squads was impressive as several of the new men turned in fine times. Jack Leutritz, the big sopho- more who has up to now been a quar- termiler, coasted through a half- mile in 1:58.7. Veteran Dye Hogan was right behind. Karl Wisner, who finished slightly in the van, Ralph Schwartzkopf, Harold Davidson and Ed Barrett put on a blanket finish in the mile in 4:28. Barrett, a sophomore, finished easily and may be the answer to a dearth of two-milers in past years. Quartermilers Warren Breidnbach and Ross Faulkner, and sprinters Jim Monahan and Bob Barnard also turned in creditable performances. Dame tackler, apparently Zontini, clutching, his ankles. Phil Gaspar missed the conversion and 35 seconds later the half ended. The Irish came out battling after the rest, but so did the Trojans. They were without their star quarterback, Grenville Lansdell, who left the game in the first quarter with a twisted ankle, but Day, Mickey Anderson, Jack Banta, Jimmy Jones and a few other lesser lights were carrying on the battle. The second break for S. C. came with about 10 minutes of the fourth period left. Joe Piepul fumbled and Jimmy Jones came up with the ball for Troy on the Irish 35. Ten plays--crash!--Troy's second touchdown. Gaspar's conversion was successful this time, and there was the scor j, 13 to 0. COLLEGE BASKETBALL At South Bend, Ind.: Notre Dame, 70; Ball State 30.
