TODAY'S SPORT PARADE
By 08CAR FRALEY
(United Press Sport* Writer)
NEW YORK Mt Big Jake Kramer was using court brains in-’
stead of net brawn today with increasingly brighter chances of
bringing the Pavla Cup back to the United States once again.
It was Jake who sparked the American team to victory In the 1946
postwar renewal of this tennis classic as Australia gave up the cherished
sttnrware held Down Under for the duration.
And now again it’s Kramer, a professional using his wits from
the sidelines, who may be the deciding factor In what promises to
be. an upset U. S. triumph over those same Anzacs.
The finals of the Victorian championships In Australia tomorrow
Will tell a tall tale of tennis fans. In that windup, Dick Dick Savitt of
Orange, N. J„ faces Australian Frank Sedgman and it’s a tipoff
of future Davis Cup action.
-45avltt is the Wimbledon champion but since that early triumph
the Australians have dominated the courts. Sedgman won the U. S. title
while he and Ken McOregor cleaned up all the doubles honors in sight.
ir-You almost have to concede the Davis Cup doubles to tfie boys from
Down Under when the challenge round is held at Sydney Dec. 26-28.
BUt-the increasingly effective play of the Kramer-coached U. S. team
has Indicated that the Americans might possibly take three of the four
singles matches.
That’s why tomorrow’s Savitt-Sedgman tilt is awaited so eagerly.
It will disclose just how much hope there Is of Savitt beating Sedgman
in the silverware showdown —a must if the United States is to win
the Cup.
Frank Shields, the former tennis great, was named captain this
year. But he refused to be simply a water boy and shoulder patter. It
was Shields who invited Kramer to take over the coaching reins.
And big Jake has done a remarkable job 6f getting thp team
“up’* and ready. His program calls for 6 a. m. roadwork and calisthen
ics in addition to court practice. Night Hfe was banned and the U. S.
squad trained in Olympic style.
”•>ll are fit and ready, games at razor edge, with Vic Seixas and
Savitt slated for singles and Ted Schroeder and Tony Trabert in the,
doubles.

New York Garden
Has Crowd Slump
BY JOHN GRIFFIN
(UP Sports Writer)
NEW YORK (W There waS
cheering on the court for an im
pressive St. John's basketball team,
bat there was groaning at' the
Madison Square Garden bo* of
fice. V
That was the situation at New
York’s biggest indoor arena last
night as a “crowd” of only 7,117
turned out to see the 1951-52 gar
den debut of St. John’s, the Brook
lyn-based combine that is ranked
fifth nationally in pre-season ra
tings and appears New York’s lone
hope for court glory.
St. John’s made good with a 66
to 52 victory over Brigham Young,
last season’s National Invitation
Tournament champions.
But that “crowd” was only half
of the 14,119 that saw the Gar
den’s first doublgheader of the sea
son last Saturday, a twin-bill for
which the publicity drums were,
well..pounded and to which a swarm
of Albany, N. Y., students came on
a caravan.
In the opener, Manhattan rent
ed to a 65 to 52 victory over Texas
A&M.
Last night’s program was rated
a much better athletic show, but
the disappointing turnout boded ill
for the financial success of the
coming season at the garden.
Champion Saddlor Vs.
Roughhouse Demarco
In TV Fight Tonight
NEW YORK -Ml— Ring-ruffians
Sandy Saddler and Paddy Demarco
are slated to match buttings,
thumbings and gougings tonight
at Madison Square Garden in a
television 10-rounder that may pro
duce the “Rowdy of the Year” as
well as the lightweight challenger
The winner of this “rubber
match” has been promised a Feb
ruary fight with lightweight cham
pion James Carter, probably for
the title.
Dusky, sleepy-eyed Saddler of
New York already wears the world
featherweight crown: but he would
gladly exchange that 126-pound
diadem for Carter’s 136-pound
lightweight bonnet. Lack of money
opponents in the feather division
gave Sandy the yen to step up.
But it’s also a “probationary”
bout for him because he was re
instated only Wednesday after a
two-month suspension by the N|w
York Boxing Commission for his
exceedingly rough tactics in the
September title fight 'with WUUe
Pep. ’’’ ' "
BAR ROOM BRAWLER
Had Sandy scouted the world, he
could have found no worse op
ponent for tonight’s probationary
non-title brawl than Demarco, the
Brooklyn billygoat. Demarco is
probably the most flagrant violator
of ring-rules in any division in
any country.*, Willie Pep is .a little
Lord Fauntleroy compared to
Paddy, who was once suspended
for biting an opponent’s ear.
Lightweight Demarco is expected
to use every knavish device in his
tool kit tonight; for he, too, will be
under terrific pressure. The 23-
year -old contender knows he’ll
never get s shot at the lightweight
crown if he can’t lick the 25-year
old feather champ. And he’s risking
a winning streak of 11 straight

NCAA Telecast
Test Shows TV,
Aids Attendance
BY STAN OPOTOWSK^
(UP Sparta Writer)
NEW YORK Ml The NCAA
; plan for controlled television ap
parently helped football attendance,
a United Press survey revealed
\ Wednesday.
: In 1950, there was unlimited tele
r vising of football games. In lysi,
' the NCAA permitted only a peep
! a week. The national result was
1 only an increase of .03 of a per
’ centage points, but the big drops
“ were in areas not affected by tel
evision.
* In the East, where there’s the
- most television, attendance sneaked
1 up .02 per cent. In the Midwest,
where there’s also a lot of televis
‘ ion, it went up 1.76 per cent. In
' there was limited television, the
’ West teams jumped AM per cent
[ and the Southern teams 6.09 per
cent.
1 ATTENDANCE ROSE WITH TV
1 Those figures would indicate that
a little television didn't hurt.
And the big drop in non-televis
-5 ion areas tend to show that TV
didn’t keep many folks away .from
1 the games. Instead, other factors
; did.
1 In the Southwest, TV is no prob
! lem because the NCAA TV games
didn’t reach that area. Attendance
fell 1.22 per cent. In the Rockies,
, the picture is the same because
there’s only one TV station in the
whole area. The drop was an
alarming 18.17 per cent In the
mid-lands, where there are few
stations and sets, the tall was 15.01
per cent.
s By and large, a good tootb&ll
> team drew fans and a poor one
, didn’t.

Is ’Coach Os The Year"
Stanford Mentor
Fulfills His Own
Forocnst For 'sl i
BY STAN OPOTOWBKY .
(UP Sperta Writer) I
/NEW YORX Ml—Bashful Churck jl
Taylor, who directed Stanford In
to the Rose Bowl for the first •
time in 10 years, was elected
“Coach of the Year” today, by the
American Football Coaches Assn.
The Jury of his peers selected J
Taylor over Bob Neyland of Ten- «
nessee. Biggie Mupn of Michigan '
State and Charley Caldwell ol 1
Princeton in the annual poll con- 1
ducted for the association by the (
Scripps-Howard newspapers. Cald
well was the “Coach of the Year” J
last year.
Taylor polled 979 points —lO2
first-dlace votes, 18 second-place
votes and 53 for third. Neyland, j
coach of undefeated-untied Tenn- ,
essee, totaled 611 votes with 84 firsts, t
50 seconds and 41 thirds: Munn to- .
taled 536 with 66 firsts, 57 sec- (
onds and 35 thirds. Caldwell fin- ,
ished fourth in the balloting with ,
329 points—66 votes for first, 34 j
for second and 42 for third.
RETURNS AFTER 18 YEARS j
The last time Stanford made the i
Rose Bowl was Jan. 1, 1941. A fel- ,
low named Taylor played guard on
that team. Taylor became Stanford
; head coach this season after Mar- ,
chy Schwartz, his old boss quit. ]
At the start of the season, Tay- ,
i lor predicted Stanford would win ,
nine of its 10 games. Many laugh
ed, because the preseason dope said ,
i Stanford would be lucky to tin- j
ish in the Pacific Coast Conferen
ce’s first division.
But Stanford wen nine of its 10 :
games—Just as Taylor predicted— ]
and is in the Rose Bowl against !
Illinois. 1

SHAREB HIS HONOR 1
Told of his selection as “Coach
of the Year,” Taylor said at Stan- f
ford, “It’s a great honor, but you 1
get something like that when you i
have a great bunch of assistants I
and a line group of players.”
Taylor was credited with making t
a star out of quarterback Gary [
Kerkorian, who was never much ]
until this, his senior Year. Taylor t
inherited Dick .Horn as an offen-,
sive quarterback but switched him
to safety man. He became one of
the best. l
Others who received votes and i
the number of points 5 for first, ,
3 for second, 1 for third included: t

Minor Leagues Want Pay When
Aircasts Result In Small Crowds
Proposal Arises After
Legality Os Ban For
Aircasts Is Doubted
BY LEO H. PETERSEN
(UP SporU Editor)
COLUMBUS, O. Ml— The minor
leagues, fighting bitterly among
themselves in their battle for sur- ,
vival, sought the solution for two
problems today, without being at
all sure'that they have cured any
of their ills.
Usually, they wind up their busi
ness in one executive session. Yes
terday they failed to do it in two.
So a third one was called for to
day.
Facing them still was the prob
lem —and admittedly a legal one—
whether they had any right to ask
the major league clubs to restrict
their broadcasting and telecasting
of their home games into minor
league territory. The New York
Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals and
Pittsburgh Pirates already have an
nounced they will restrict their
broadcasting and telecasting with
in the limits of the present com
mittments.
SUBSIDY BASEBALL
A resolution was offered under
which—to it all legal—major
league clubs would be permitted
to broadcast and telecast their
games without limitations with the
proviso that they pay 5 per cent
of their recetpts.intQ a minor league
fund.
Those receipts would be distrib
uted to those minor league clubs
which could prove thfey had been
hurt, in attendance or otherwise
by the broadcasting or telecasting
of major league games in their ter
ritory.
Last year American and Nation
al League clubs received $3377,000
for their broadcasting and telecast
ing rights, and the year before.
$3,364,000.
There appeared a good chance
that the minors would go for this
proposal—but it, was even more
likely that thd majors would vote
against it
