Tug Wilson Named Conference Leader Chicago, Mar. 12. — (UP) —Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson was ready today for the “most eventful period in intercollegiate athletics,” as he prepared to assume hte duties as tlji' second athletic commissioner in the history of the western conference. Wilson, 49-year-old athletic director at Northwestern university, will take over the commissionership May 1, succeeding the late Maj. John L. Grifith. Selection by the Big Ten athletic directors was unanimously approved Saturday by the corfference’s board of faculty representatives. Emphasizing that there will be no basic change in the conference setup, Wilson will become commissioner for a Aix-year term, which | spreads over a period when a tremendous expansion is expected in postwar athletics. “A great growth and expansion is in store for intercollegiate athletics,” he said. “This will give me a tremendous opportunity in the peace years. There will be new problems to meet as we go along, converting from war to peace and the enlargement of 'the programs which are sure to follow.” Wilson already has submitted his resignation to Northwestern, ending 20 years as athletic director at the Evanston, 111., university. When he takes over in a month and a half, the former Olympic track star will guide the conference as it begins to retighten its eligibility standards. The faculty group, through its secretary. Prof. Frank Richart of Illinois, said it believed that the rules which were waived in June, 1943, should be reinstated. They were originally set aside to permit servicemen, who were stationed al member schools for training, to participate in varsity sports. Richart said that the faculty reprentatives believe there is a need now to return to normalcy as rapidly as possible. The regulations which were voted to be reinstated, effective July 1, of this year, included: 1. No Big Ten undergraduate athlete can complete for outside organizations, such as the annual all-star football game. 2. No student, who is a professional in any sport, can compete on Big Ten varsity teams. 3. No civilian student, who has had four years of intercollegiate competition as a civilian student, ie eligible for a Big Ten team. The conference, as always, considers competition at Annapolis and West Point as civilian competition. 4. Any civilian student, who was ineligible at the school from which he transfers, must spend one calendar year in residence at a Big Ten school befoie he is eligible for Big Ten varsity competition.

Big Huntington Viking Team Darkhorse In Final Tourney

By JAMES E. WALTERS Indianapolis, Mar. 12. — (UP) Huntington high school’s basketball Vikings may pull an “Evansville Bosse” on the three other finalists in the 35th annual Indiana state tournament next Saturday. A year ago. the Bosse Bulldogs, hampered by injuries and illness during the regular season, came out of nowhere to capture the state title. The veteran-loaded titleholders are in the finals again, hut carrying the label of.the “team to beat.” Meanwhile, Huntington’s Vikings who are big enough to pass for the original Norsemen, find themselves in the same position Bosse was in . last March. Coach Bill Williams figured he would have a strong elub this season. He had six lettermen back from a good 1943-44 squad and only one of the veterans was under six feet tall. Then, rangy Bill Bostel, the higli scoring six foot three inch center, was hurt in football. He missed most of the early games. Boh Hendricks, another.' Giant, who notched 20 points against - Muncie Central last Saturday, received, a sprained ankle. Next he v was do wn with the flu. Ed Wasmuth, regular copter Iqjst season, was sidelined until early January by illness. And : six foot three inch Bob Bullinger - came down with the mumps. Early in January, Williams found all his “cripples” in condition and the Vikings ripped off six straight victories. About that time, guard Jim Cozard, husky six footer, and forward Clete Oltinger enlisted in the navy. “In the middle of January, I finally hit on a combination that was injury and draft-proof," laugh-

ed Williams, “and we started getting tough.” Just how tough was shown last Saturday in the Muncie semi-imal. Huntington upset the high-favored Kokomo Wildcats, 29-28, and took the title from Muncie Central, 4237. Huntington, which plays South | Bend Riley in the second game next Saturday, has a giant squad. Bostel, at sixdhree, is the tallest of the regulars, but Hendricks is only an inch shorter. Wasmuth. who has become a “sixth regular,” stands six feet two. Don Williams and Joe Burkhait, the burly guards, are five feet 10. Gene Musselman, smallest of the starters, is five feet nine. However, he is the end man on the fast break and one of the best scorers. Huntington’s big advantage, of course, is its height. “Our best dish,” Williams admitted, “is our rebound strength. But I think our well-balanced scoring ability is a close second.” Williams disclaims any set style of offense. He said he teaches the boys the fundamentals and lets them “do their own thinking.” It’s a successful system, as the Vikings’ eight tourney victims will attest. In those eight games, Huntington averaged 43 points to the opposition’s 29. Here’s the team roster (usual •starters first): Class Hf. Wt.’ Bob Hendricks, f Sr. 6.2 170 Gene Musselman, f...
