Plan Predicted To Eliminate College Sports Professionalism
New York. (UP)—Big Nine Commissioner Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson predicted quick passage today for a new five-point plan aimed at knocking professionalism out of college sports as delegates to the 41st annual National Collegiate Athletic association convention met in their final business session.
"There is every indication it will be passed," Wilson said. "We expect a few will object to certain parts of it but all we need is a simple majority of the 252 N. C. A. A schools."
The standard eligibility plan, containing a schedule boycott provisio against schools that fail to conform, was far and away the hottest legislation up for approval although some action may be taken on a surprise proposal to create a "clean sports foundation" to curb gambling both in amateur and professional athletics.
Athletic Director Earl Yeomans of Temple University proposed a foundation, including officials of the N. C. A. A., Amateur Athletics union and All Pro sports, to police all athletic promotions and petition congress for strong anti-gambling laws.
The president of the United States or J. Edgar Hoover were suggested as honorary president of the foundation.
Foremost of the principles is that no athlete may accept more than tuition and stated fees—and then only when it is awarded by an agency awarding aid to all other students on the basis of need.
In a quieter session, the American Association of College Football coaches elected E. E. (Tad) Wieman, athletic director at Maine, as its 24th president, succeeding Dick Harlow of Harvard.
Featherweight Champ Breaks Leg In Crash
Millville, N. J. (UP)—Willie Pep,
world featherweight champion,
suffered a broken left leg in Sunday
night's airplane crash, instead of a
mere cut on his ankle, manager Lou
Viscusi disclosed today.
Pep was injured Sunday night when an airliner, flying from Miami, to Newark, crashed during a heavy snowstorm in a woods five miles west of Millville. Three persons were killed and 20 were injured in the crash.
Viscusi said the injury may prevent Pep from fighting for six months and it is certain to prevent the "Hartford Phantom" from earning about $100,000 in purses for fights he had scheduled during the next four months.

Joe Louis Will Box In Latin America
New York. (UP) — Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis will leave New York Jan. 26 to start a seven-week exhibition tour of Mexico, Central America, and South America, his manager, John Roxborough, said today.
First stop will be Mexico City, where Louis plans to box 10 two-minute rounds with Arturo Godoy, Chilean heavyweight who twice was defeated in title bouts with Louis. Roxborough said that Mexican promoters were prepared to put up a $50,000 guarantee to assure Louis' appearance at Mexico City.
All traveling will be done by air, Roxborough said, and the champion will return to New York by March 15 to start training for a June title defense.
Ball-Point Pen Patent In Perfume Dispensers
New York. (UP)—The "Battle of the Ball Point" which swept the nation's writing industry in 1946 will be extended to the perfume industry in 1947.
During the coming year, 1,000,000 ball point perfume dispensers which "write" delicate traces of fragrance on the skin and clothes of the user will be manufactured and sold in the United States, according to Biro, Meyne & Biro, the company which will market the dispenser.
Berlin. (UP)—It's almost a crime not to get drunk in Hettstedt, Germany, a small town near Leipzig.

Longview, Wash. (UP)—Hunters killed one of the largest cougars ever bagged in southwestern Washington. The animal measured 10 feet from tip to tip and weighed 250 pounds. The average size of cougars is less than eight feet, with an average weight of 150 pounds.
You can always get beer in Hettstedt. It is the only place in all Bremen where the populus is permitted by law to buy beer home. The law dates back to 1434.
One native commented: "Getting drunk regularly in Hettsted is one of the few customs which outlasted the war."

Depression Likely Economist Warns
Brady warned when and if a depression occurred, the United States would face the same situation "which led to the rise of Hitler."
Berkeley, Cal. (UP)—Every economist in the nation expects some kind of depression within two to five years if present conditions continue, according to Dr. Robert A. Brady, professor of economics at the University of California.
"A dangerous situation has developed in the United States, with economic autocracy and political democracy existing side by side," Brady said. "This state of affairs has never lasted long."
"We have all the elements here," he said, "including racial animosity, which led to internal disorder in Germany."

Ruth And DiMaggio Improving Rapidly
New York. (UP)—Babe Ruth, the hitting star of the New York Yankees in the 1920's, and Joe DiMaggio, his successor as an outfield slugging star for the Yanks, both were reported recovering rapidly today from operations.
Ruth's was much more serious, for doctors had to tie off an artery in his neck to give him relief from intolerable head pain. He underwent surgery Monday, spent an uncomfortable night and then improved greatly yesterday. DiMaggio underwent operation for removal of a bone spur from his left heel, and his doctor said his post-operative condition was excellent.
