Ed McKeever, formerly acting director and head coach, resigned Feb. 27th to accept the head football coaching position at Cornell University and yesterday Walsh resigned to accept a similar post with the' Cleveland Rams of the national football league. Charles (Chile) Walsh, general manager of the Rams and Adam's brother, signed the 43-year-old Veteran.

Riley Os South Bend Boasts Big Quintet

B By JAMES E. WALTERS r Indianapolis, Mar. 15. — (UP) — - Most northern Indiana high school basketball observers agree that the - present South Bend Riley quintet r ranks as one of that section’s beat, i since the center jump was ruled , out. I They disagree violently, however, • on what makes the husky Wildcats I stand alongside such northern semi- ■ final champions ae Frankfort of ' 1936 and 1939 or Hammond Tech of 1940. Riley's amazing defensive ovarage of 23.5 points in regional and semi-final competition impressed one expert. The Wildcats’, crack rebound work drew praise from another. The team’s fast-break attack, with the .scoring divided among the starters, rated plaudits elsewhere. Even in the individual department, close followers of the game found themselves arguing over the I merits of various Riley players. Clem Crowe, basketball coach at Notre Dame university, named Bob Hartman, a floor guard with great dribbling ability, as the top Wildcat. Others list Bob Whitmer, an all-state end in football who is equally tough in basketball. Rugged Ernie Kovatch; high-scoring, six foot four inch Frank Kudla'y; and long-shot-sniping Dick Wood came in for “best” mentions, too. Actually, of course, Riley has compiled 27 victories in 29 starts and gained the state finals because of a combination of all those things . —plug a happy facility for having more than adequate balance. Riley’s starting lineup averages nearly six feet two inches tall and the Wildcats match with the big Huntington Vikings in the 2:30 p. m. game Saturday at the Indianapolis Coliseum will be literally a duel of Giants.

Wayne Wakefield, younger brother of Mark—the one-time coach of mighty Evansville Central clubs, has taken Riley farther in the state tournament than any other South Bend quintet of modern times. Wakefield employe a fast break attack despite the tremendous size —as high school basketball teams go—of his team. And, Riley’s 46-point-a-game tournament average indicates that the South Benders’ attack is plenty smooth. Riley probably will stick to its regular lineup of Whitmer, Kudlaty, Kovatch, Hartman and Wood, although the red-haired Wood reinjured a knee as Riley clawed Logansport in the Lafayette semifinal last Saturday. Bob Turk and John Merriman, both rugged and dependable substitutes, will take over if Wood if not available for full-time duty. Riley would be the second northern Indiana conference team in history to capture a state cage crown if it gets by Huntington and then, probably, Evansville Bosse’s defending titleholders. Hammond' Tech won in 1940. If both Riley and Bosse capture their afternoon game, it would set the stage for a “civil war” battle between Riley of the north aud Bosse of the south.

A foolish spokesman said a formal protest was filed with the three powers on March 12, emphatically insisting on the exiled government's right to participate in the San Francisco conference. Exclusion of the London Polish group, the protest said, is “the first disquieting case of the application of the right of veto of a great power which has been made even before the United Nations .have approved or accepted the proposals concerning the international security organization.” No Polish representatives, either in Lublin or London, yet haye been incited to San Francisco by the Bi|g Four “inviting powers”—the United States Britain, Russia and China —pending formation of a representative coalition government In liberated Poland. 1A seat at the conference table I was reserved, however, for the pro-, posed coalition government provided it could be established before the opening of the United Nations council on April 25.

fom where I sit... Joe Marsh ■ How Sober Hoskins Got His Name

Rom where I sit... // Joe Marsh

Everybody kids Sober Hoskins about his name. Os course, they allow that it’s appropriate. Sober never drinks anything stronger than a glass of beer. And a harder worker in the fleldsAhere never was. “Shucks,” cays Sober's dad. *We named Sober 'Sober' Just because he looked that way when he was born. Like we called his sister 'Gay,' ated his other sister • Prissy.’ And it’s had its effect on all of 'em,” he.adds With spirit. (Prissy is the old maid in the Hoskins family.)

Nt. 11l qf a Strict alright, 1245, United Stata Brewen Foundation j

From where I sit, there may be something in what Sober’s dad says. Naming children after virtues is a fine old American custom. Look at the names of our pioneers and pilgrims; Faith, Pious, Charity, Hope, Ernest Maybe we should use such name* more often. And one I'd like to add is “Tolerance.” If we all had Tolerance for a middle name, and lived up to it, we’d have a better, happier world.
