BO MCMILLIN ! SELECTED TO DIRECT STARS I. U. Coach Named By Nation’s Fans To Lead j All-Star Team — Chicago, Auk. 10 ((J,R)—Sixteen ; million football fans voted today to | turn loose Bo McMillin of Indiana I University. Ills five man hackfield, and "shooper-drooper” line plays on Washington's unsuspecting Redskins in the charity all-star game at Soldier Field. Aug. 31. They elected him to coach the collegiate squad for the game and I that spells trouble for the national ; professional league champions. Bo’s five man backfield is the last word in deception. Guards bound out of the backfield toting the hall and halfbacks step into ! the line. Jlis major problem—not ; forgetting Washington's slingin' : Sammy Haugh is teaching the 68 ' all-stars his intricate system in only 19 days. A flood of last minutes votes from Indiana and Kentucky pushed McMillin approximately 2.000.000 points ahead of the year's surprise candidate, Harry Kipke. Kipke lost his job at Michigan, but polled; an amazing number of votes. He j led until the final count. t Kipke. Raymond (Ducky) Pond of Yale, Elmer Layden of Notre Dame, and A. .1 Robertson of Head- J ley Tech, finished in order behind i McMillin and will round out the | all-star coaching staff. if the vote is any indication, an- I other boom football year is on the . way. The poll, conducted by 150 .' newspapers, drew approximately' 10.000,000 more votes than in 1937. :

1 McMillin left Bloomington, Ind . 'shortly after receiving word he j had been elected, with his plans I already laid out. He and his I assistants will greet the squad at I Northwestern Aug. 12 and begin I work at once. "It sure will be good to have a l lot of boys to work with,” he I ' grinned. “Down at Indiana we' I don't usually have enough on the ' I squad for my pore little boys to ! get much scrimmage." Bo's “pore little boys," among I ‘ the Big Ten favorites this year. < I knocked off Ohio State and out-| , gained but lost to Nebraska and : ; Minnesota last fall. I McMillin is one Big Ten coach . who doesn't have to worry about i his job. Before his first contract ran out two seasons ago. he signed another for 10 years. Final figures on the leaders: McMillin 17,393.669; Kipke 15.416.435; I Pond 7.765.492; Layden 5.925,217; | and Robertson 2.867,410. Only One Worry Indianapolis. Aug. 10 (U.R) I “Bo " McMillin, head coach at | Indiana University, had only one ' worry last night as he stopped here en route to Chicago where he will j take command of the collegiate i al! stars for the battle against the Washington Redskins Aug. 31. “I've never seen Washington play and don't know much about them." McMillin said. “However, 111 bet Frank Filehock (Indiana end on the all-star squad) will be as effective a passer in the game j as Sammy Baugh. “Sammy might make a believer out of me but we’re going to try and stop him.” If Bo can stop Baugh, the sensaI 1 tonal lad from Texas Christian i who lead the professional football I league in passing last year and 1 the Redskins to the national title, the problem of halting the pro’s j : offense will nearly be solved. McMillen was as excited as a 1 kid with a new bicycle when he I heard the news. He drove to Indi-1 anapolis immediately and then left i by train for Qhicago where he will speak over a nation wide hookup tonight. Asked of his opinion of the staff' which will assist him. the Hoosier | mentor said he knew “every one of, them personally and they're a fine I bunch of fellows and excellent i coaches." o Squirrel Hunting Season Is Opened .Scores of squirrel hunters start-1 ed out this morning on the opening I day of the squirrel season. Several returned at an early hour reporting a good morning’s work, while others were less fortunate. o Trade In A Good Town — llrcatur L , ■'... 4

[casting and MONROE WIN Two Softball Games Tuesday Night Decided By Single Run Two hard fought games featured softball play under the lights at the South Ward diamond Tuesday night, with each game decided by a single run. Decatur Casting, after piling up I a 7-2 lead In the first seven in- ' nings, was hard pressed to eke out ' an 8-7 triumph over Tokhehn of I Fort Wayne in the opening clash. I Casting scored what proved to be | the winning run in the eighth ■ frame on singles by Haugk and ! Wynn, followed by a long fly by . Schneider. Monroe scored a 4-3 victory over Cloverleaf Creamery in the regular league tilt following the exhibition game.

' why I liked Lou Ambers to beat ; Henry Armstrong in their 15-round, lightweight title fight at the Polo : grounds tonight. I decided to study the tape measurements of the men i whose intimates know them as the I Herkimer hurricane and the ebony I cobra. Perhaps. I thought to myi self, the clew to the winner of every prizefighter is buried somewhere in the measurements, waiting there for some thoughtful student to bring it to light. So I examined the ArmstrongAmbers sheets of foolscap, with the earnestness of a secret service operative at work on a code message. For the life of me I couldn’t see anything important in the fact that Ambers was 24 and Armstrong 25. or that Ambers wore a size 15% collar against a 15 for Armstrong. The insurance companies might, but I couldn’t. The ankle and calf measurements offered little more promise. Lou's calf is 1 14 inches; Armstrong’s 11 inches. I did everything to these figures except boil them down for their square roots without getting so much as a hint as to the winner. 1 The nearest I came to anythig impnortat was a deduction that per- j haps Ambers had less trouble keeping up his socks. But I know my readers too well, know how much they rely on me for sound, logical reasons, to pick a winner on the grounds that his ■ socks. are neater. My study of the boys’ chests,) inflated and let-out, was fruitless. I So was nty microscopic examination of waist, wrist, and forearm ■ figures. Then and when I saw it I don’t' mind telling you I was as thrilled , as any old scholar when he stumbles across the key to an ancientj laguage—then. I happened to fasten my eyes on the, fists measure- i ments of the champion and the challenger. Like a flash it came to me—my reason for liking Ambers. Ambers fists (or fisti to use the correct plural) measure 11% | inches. Those of Armstrong meas-' ure but 10% inches. A fighting man is no better than his fists. They are his weapons, ' his staff of life, his meat and I drink, his other man’s poison. Ambers’ fists ;e much bigger I than Henry’s. As a result he is : certain to miss less often. And being bigger. Ambers’ fists must i be stronger. The oak is mightier , than the dogwood or the chinaberry, isn't it? Therefore I do not hesitate to, name Ambers as the winner. Tomorrow morning I probably won’t hesitate to leave town. But that's another day. (Copyright 1938 by UP.) o Trude In 4 I.nod Town —- DrCfftnt

ROOKIE HURLER STOPS YANKEES: Ken Chase Defeats Yanks; Bauers Hurls Two-Hit Game Chicago, Aug. 10.—<U.R>—South-| paw pitching may be the weak- ’ ness of the New York Yankees' 1 and the Pittsburgh Pirates, the I two major league leaders rolling j 1 ; pennantward with each passing ' day. But it has to be good southpaw ' pitching — just ordinary pitching won't stop the two pacemakers. Ken Chase.

Roy Henshaw, the little Cardinals' portsider Judge I Kenesaw Mountain Landis yanked back into the majors by an official ( 1 ruling, almost beat the Pirates but he happened to run into Russ Bau- i hrs on one of his red hot days. . Chase pitched Washington to a j 4-2 victory over the Yanks but 1 didn't get the winning runs until j the ninth. Travis’ double, a sacrifice. a walk, and singles by Chase and Case produced the two winning tallies. ' i It just wasn’t Henshaw’s day. ' He let Pittsburgh down with eight ; scattered hits but Bauers approach-1 ed perfection with a two-hit game and the Pirates won, 1-0. The 23- I year-old Wisconsin lumberjack who lost six of his first seven games didn’t allow a hit until the fifth when Johnny Mize singled through the box. Pittsburgh's only run came on singles by Bauers. ' Handley and Lloyd Waner. The Yanks' defeat trimmed their American league lead to five games Inasmuch as Cleveland divided a doubleheader w''h the St. Ixmis Browns.
