SOUTH SIDE TO LAUNCH SEASON FRIDAY NIGHT State Basketball Interest Centers On State Champions Indianapolis. Nov. 28 — ,<U.R)t — Heavy fir-in* in Hooslerdoom's eight major high scuool cage conferences begins this week with interest centered on the debut Friday night of last seasons state champions — South Side of Fort Wayne. The Archers, with most of their regulars back, plunge into northeastern conference play against Kendallville's Comets, who won four straight then were upset last Friday by Nappanee, 30 to 22. It will be a severe test for the Southsiders and should reveal their 1939 title possibilities. Another game of state-wide interest Friday is the Hammond Wildcats' inaugural at Horace Mann. Gary. The Cats, rated by many the classiest quintet in Indiana last season, have only Clarence Hasse and big Wally Ziemba as veterans. Their miracle guards— George Sobek and Bob My grants —who led the team to the state finals, were graduated. The Hammond scrap, along with two others, starts the race toward the western division, northern Indiana conference championship. Froebel of Gary meets Hammond Tech and Emerson of Gary goes to Roosevelt of East Chicago: Kendallville, Bluffton and Garrett. with one victory apiece, are leading the northeastern loop, in which games are oddly arranged this year. They may count for only one team, or both, according to the schedule. The North SideCentral of Fort Wayne encounter Friday registers in conference standings only for Central. Garrett versus Columbia City and Bluffton-Hartford City are league battles for all teams involved. Outstanding in the north central conference is Friday's meeting of Anderson and the Newcastle Tro-

MAJOR LEAGUE STAR INJURED Monty Stratton May Lose Leif As Result Os Hunting Accident Dallas. Tex, Nov. 28.- <U.R> A pistol wound threatened today to end big Monty Stratton’s career as a baseball player through umuptation of his leg. Stratton, 6 foot 4 inch pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. was In Parland hospital in serious condition from the wound. Dr. A. R. Thomasson said a decision on the amputation would be reached today or tomorrow. Stratton was hunting rabbits when the accident occurred yesterday. Wearing the pistol strapped to his thigh western fashion, lie was walking a half mile .from his mother's farm home near Greenville when the weapon discharged. The bullet entered the outyr thigh and ranged downward and backward to the knee. Dr. Thomasson feared it had cut a large artery in the back of the leg. After the accident. Stratton, a 205-pounder whose pitching prowess had been handicapped by an old arm injury, crawled toward the house. He had almost reached it when a brother saw him and picked him up. He was rushed to Greenville but doctors there were unable to find the bullet and sent him to Dallas. He was suffering from loss of blood. Hard luck has dogged th big Texan during the past two baseball seasons. Overcoming early wildness, he had performed brilliantly until 1937 when the arm injury appeared. He stayed on the sidelines many weeks that veal. | Last season the same injury crop-j ped up again and from March on- 1 ward. Stratton lost much time. Stratton's first baseball exper- j ience was in North Texas semi-pro i leagues. He attracted the atten- 1 tion of the White Sox scouts in j 1934. His wildness bobbed up when he got a chance in the bigtime that year, and the Sox sent him to Omaha of the western league for training. He won eight and lost ten that season with Omaha. The Sox shipped him to St. Paul of the American Association in 1935, and he won 17 and lost nine that year. The next year with the Saints he won five and lost seven. ; His second chance with the Sox came in 1937. He won 15 games and lost five. His pitching was believed to help the Sox toward the American league pennant, a flag they hadn’t won since 1919. But his arm injury reappeared and the Sox finished third. Stratton had a good season this year, winning 15 and losing nine, but his flinging arm. the right, weAt had again. The Sox ended the season in sixth place. Stratton is 25 and married. He was born in Celeste. Texas. o

HIRE ANDERSON AS IOWA COACH — I)r. Edward Anderson Os Holy Cross Signed For Three Years lowa City, la., Nov. 2S- (U.P> - The University of lowa athletic board announced today that Dr. Edward C. Anderson of Holy Cross has been signed to coach the low u football team for tlyee years. A brief statement issued by E. G. Schroeder, athletic director, said: "The athletic board by unanimous action has appointed Dr. Anderson as head football coach for three years, beginning with next season. "The president of the university (Eugene A. Gilmore) has approved t.ie appointment. "Dr. Anderson will in due time submit to the board his recommendations concerning the rest of the staff ” He wiil succeed Iri Tubbs, who came to lowa from Miami in the spring of 1937 and whose teams won only two games during his two year regime. Andercon will arrive in lowa City tomorrow and will meet with the athletic board in the afternoon. Today’s announcement put to rest all rumors that Anderson would reject the lowa bid in favor of a lucrative ofter from Holy Cross. Neither Schroeder nor members of the board would comment on the salary Anderson will receive heie but it is believed to be in excess of SIO,OOO annually. Tubbs received $7,800 annually and was on a year to year contract basis. He was notified a week ago today that his contract would not be renewed. "Anderson will be in full charge of football," Schroeder explaineo. “No games will be scheduled except at his request and all details concerning football will be entirely in his hands "An open date on the 1939 schedule will be filled only when he has time to consider all angles." Anderson is expected to bring his two assistant coaches at Holy Cross. Jim Harris, line mentor, and Joe Shekeetski, backfield coach. , The new coach, who played end fer plenty of competition for the Commodores at St. Mary’s has the same team available as played last year and a new coach. Commodore officials also announced addition of another home game to the schedule. Catholic high of Joliet, Illinois, will play on the home floor either Thursday or Friday, December 29 or 30. Both Decatur teams came through with easy victories Friday night, the Commodores trouncing Celina, Ohio, Catholic on the local floor and the Yeliow Jackets whipping the Geneva Cardinals at Geneva. „ —oOo — The Berne Bears continue to roll merrily along, with four victories and no defeats, the only Adams county team to boast a perfect record for the season.

Such was the order issued at Duke, Tennessee, and Texas Christian Universities today In the hope that the next jingle of the bell might bring a SIOO,OOO call from Southern California. Sometime this week or the next the football teams of one of these schools will get the bid to play in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day, and it is a bid that is worth just one tenth of a million dollais, win. lose or draw. Which team will get it? Not even Solomon could have answered that one today because the choice, if it has been made, is locked deep in the noggins of the Southern California athletic officials, and those noggins are deep, dark vaults indeed. But in an effort to find which way the wind blows I made a casual poll of the press bqx habitues at the Dartmouth-Stanford game here Saturday, and the result would indicate that Duke will be invited. Those who leaned toward Duke offered varied reasons for their belief. The Blue Devils’ amazing record — no defeats, no ties, and no points scored against them —was one. The fact that Howard Jones. Southern California coach, once served in the same capacity at Duke, was another. One man questioned said he thought Duke would come because it is a low scoring, defensive team and would be less likely to whip the Trojans as badly as the highscoring Tennessee or T. C. U. teams. Another opined that Wallace Wade, Duke coach, is highly regarded out here because of the success he had when he brought Alabama tarns out for the Bowl, and that the coast boys would like to take another crack at one of his ciubs. Not all those questioned favored Duke. There were thoge who thought Duke’s schedule wasn’t big league, and that it’s record was largely a paper one, despite the closing game triumph over mighty Pittsburgh. One of the reasons advanced by a man who thought Tennessee would get the bid was that Southern California, having been beaten by Alabama, would like to play a team thc-t had licked Alabama. “Southern California reasoning is very exotic,” he said, “and it would give the Trojans a great measure of satisfaction if they could beat the team that had beaten the team that had beaten them.” The team that everybody in the press box expressed a hope would get the b*d is T. C. U. Out here the boys from Foft Worth are regarded as the strongest team In the United States, and the folk are anxious to see Davey O’Brien and company in aation. But it is felt that T. C. U.’s very greatness, its ability to run up big

Tuesday night games are Jefferson at Hartford and General Electric at Kirkland. Geneva draws the bye this week. scores and beat the living daylights out of its opponents, will bat it U'om the bowl. No one feels that Southern California is going to stick its neck out and take on the wild westerns just for ! the hell of it. Not after already taking two lickings, and being none too sure it won’t suffer a third defeat when Notre Dame comes to Los Angeles next Sat- j urday. Southern California, of course, hasn’t been officially named as the far western bowl representative, but there is little or no chance that it won’t be. The, Trojans ended the Pacific Coast league season in a tie with California. but the fact that they defeated California is certain to swing the ballots their way. If by any chance they shouldn’t be cho3en, and California given the honor (and what is more important, the dough), life wouldn’t be worth a nickel in the entire state. Rioting would start at once, and continue until the only thing left standing was a redwood tree or two. (Copyright 1938 by United Press)
