JAN. 17 Says Night Ball Makes Game Secure Des Moines—(UP)—E. Lee Key- ser, "the fathejp of night baseball," confided today that he still prefers daytime garnet but believes the fu- ture of the sport is more secure be- cause of what he contrived in 1930 as a "shot-in-tiie-arm" novelty. "Night baseball has contributed to a better ho§ae life for the fam- ilies of Amerlfa," he said. "It has made it possible for dad to attend the games through the week after work and to ppend Sunday with his family instead of traipsing off to a ball game on his one day off." Keyser, who.brought "night life" to the nation*! baseball parks as head of the old Des Moines club in the now no(H)perative Western League, said he believed it was up to the fans whether major leagues should increase the number of after dark games in the future. "They pay the freight, so if they want more night games, I'd say let them have them," he said. He used th| Washington Sena- tors as an f|tample of a major league team giving the fans what they want. "The thousands of fans at the natioe's capital wanted to see base- ball but nigh| games were their only chance," |re said. "I am glad that the American League gave Owner Clark Griffith permission to play as many night games this year as he wtanted. Other cities, jammed with war workers wanting some relaxation, probably will cre- ate a further demand for night games." Keyser, now area director of the War Manpower Commission, said day baseball was a liability because "it does not give the masses the opportunity to attend." "While I stiB believe that base- ball is a daylight game and I would rather see a gaime in the afternoon, night baseball provides a better investment fof the owners, better salaries to the players and an op- portunity for Knore teams to oper- ate as evidenced by the greater number of mtoor leagues, which were in operation before Pearl Harbor." He said moat of the earlier ob- jections to thej night lighting had been overcome! and that in many instances the iicandescents privide more efficient light than the sun.

In Upset New York— (AP) —Camp Grant and Iowa in the Mid- west and Albright in the East moved to the top of the un- beaten college basketball list today following DePaul's sur- prise defeat by little Valpa- raiso of Indiana Saturday night. Valparaiso rudely ended DePaul's hopes of an unbeaten season by up- setting the Chicargoans, 65-07, end- ing the Demons' 13-game winning streak. Camp Grant now has won IS in a row. Iowa and Albright each boast seven straight Leading developments of a week which saw play restricted mostly to sectional contests, included the 15- 12 victory Penn State scored over Pitt; Temple's five-game winning streak shattered by St. John's of Brooklyn; the two victories of the Norfolk, Va., Naval Training Sta- tion over the Norfolk Naval Air Station and Duke; Idaho's upset of Washington State; the two-game split between Rice and Arkansas; and Ohio State's two triumphs over Indiana. By sections this is how the teams shape up: East—Dartmouth can virtually clinch its seventh straight Eastern Intercollegiate League title by beat- ing runnerup Pennsylvania Satur- day at Hanover, N. H. St. John's now has won eight of nine while Muhlenberg, which has snared 10 of 111 starts, meets Penn Wednesday. Teams which got off to a poor start but* have shown great improvement are CCNY, which beat Canisius; St. Joseph's of Philadelphia which beat Penn; and Columbia which upset Cornell. St. Joe's encounters Rhode Island State this week while Temple, always dangerous, meets New York University. Midwest — Purdue tops the Big Ten with a 4-0 league record, fol- lowed by Northwestern 3-0 and Ohio State and Iowa each 2-0. Camp Grant and Iowa are standouts along with DePaul and Great Lakes, beaten only twice in 16 starts, and the Iowa Sea hawks, who mSw boast an 11-game winning streak. Big Six—Iowa State and Okla- homa tied for top, each with 2-0 league mark. The Sooner*, after taking a 59-40 trouncing from the Oklahoma Aggies, moved into the conference tie by * whipping Mis- souri, 44-30. The Olathe Naval Air [Station routed Kansas for their 110th straight win and faces Mis- isouri tonight at Olathe. Southwest—Rice and Arkartsas hooked up in a throat-cutting two- igame series over the weekend, per- Imitting Texas to slide into first I place in the Southwest Conference. ! First Arkansas beat Rice, 42-41, jthen Rice came roaring back for a 67-41 win. Texas smashed the Texas Aggies, 77-44, for new con- ference scoring record. South—Although beaten by Nor- folk Naval Training Station Duke is favored to win Southern Con- I ference. The Blue Devils play host I Tuesday to North Carolina, now in first place with a league record of 2-0. It will be Duke's first con- ference competition. Rocky Mountains—Colorado Col- lege which trounced Denver twice, 64-33 and 53-36, over the weekend, appears outstanding. They play Colorado Mines in important two- game series Friday and Saturday. Far West—California and UCLA lead the southern division of the Pacific Coast Conference with Washington on top in the northern loop.

It carried a prize of a $500 War Bond. The Cardinal ace, winner of 21 games last year, was chosen over the late Nile Kinnick, former All- American football player at the University of Iowa, who was a close second. Kinnick, a Navy en- sign, deliberately plunged his plane into the Pacific last June to avoid exploding his bombs on a carrier. Sgt.

Says Night Ball Makes Game Secure

Des Moines—(UP)—E. Lee Key-ser, " the fathejp of n igh t baseball ," confided today t h a t he still prefers dayt ime garnet but believes the fu­tu re of the sport is more secure be­cause of wha t he contrived in 1930 as a "shot-in-tiie-arm" novelty.

"Night baseball has contr ibuted to a bet ter ho§ae life for the fam­ilies of Amerlfa," he said. "It has made it possible for dad to at tend the games through the week after work and to ppend Sunday with his family instead of traipsing off to a ball game on his one day off."

Keyser, who .brought "night life" to the nation*! baseball pa rks as head of the old Des Moines club in the now no(H)perative Western League, said he believed it was up to the fans whether major leagues should increase the number of after da rk games in the future.

"They pay the freight, so if they want more night games, I'd say let them have them," he said.

He used t h | Washington Sena­tors as an f | tample of a major league team giving the fans what they want.

"The thousands of fans at the nat ioe 's capi tal wanted to see base­ball but n i g h | games were their only chance," |re said. "I am glad tha t the American League gave Owner Clark Griffith permission to play as m a n y night games this year as he wtanted. Other cities, j ammed with wa r workers wan t ing some relaxation, probably will cre­ate a fur ther demand for night games."

Keyser, now a r ea director of the War Manpower Commission, said day baseball was a liability because "it does not give the masses the opportunity t o at tend."

"While I stiB believe tha t base­ball is a daylight game and I would ra the r see a gaime in the afternoon, night baseball provides a bet ter investment fof the owners, bet ter salaries to t h e players and an op­portuni ty for Knore t eams to oper­ate as evidenced by the grea ter number of mtoor leagues, which were in operation before Pear l Harbor ."

He said moat of the earlier ob­jections to thej night l ighting had been overcome! and tha t in many instances the i i candescen t s privide more efficient light than the sun.
