12-Game Card Is Approved By Conference Chi<ago. April ” <UP)—-Each of the western conference’s nine basketball teams will meet nil other school* In the league next season for one of the few Ilmen in conference history Rig Ten athletic directors and banket ball coat hen approved a 12game confer* nee schedule for 1947 yesterday In which each learn will play tout series of home-and-home game* an<l four single games. The directore also approved the 12-xame arrangement for the 1948 season, with the locution of single games to he reverted. Most of the more popular annual rivalries were included in the bome-and home series. Indiana was slated to play Purdue twice. Illinois was matched with North western for two games and Indiana was listed in a two-game ser les with lowa. Ohio State and Indiana, champ lon and runnertip last season, were scheduled to play a home-and-home series starting al Colnmbus Jan. fl. A few coaches proposed a 16 game schedule composed entirely of home-und hom<> contests as the “fairest possible test for the championship," blit the schools decided against the plan In order to play more non-conference games. The adopted slate, however, should provide one of the most equitable arrangements in conference history despite its similarity to the general 12-game pattern the league has followed almost every year since 1910 Chicago's weak Maroons paved the way for more equal schedules when they withdrew from the conference In March. With only nine teams remaining and each team matched against all other conference schools at least once, the directors said, most complaints about some title contenders having “easier going" than others should be eliminated. Coder the new program, most non- confcreme games will be played in December and league competition will not begin until the first of the year as in pre-war seasons. o Neuenschwander Hired As Hartford Coach Herman ‘ Ham" Ni-uenschwand-er. recently discharged from navy service, has been signed to coach and teach at Hartford township high school next year. John Duff, township trustee, has announced. Neuenschwander coached for several years at Monroe before entering the navy, his 1943 team winning the Mctional and regional championships.

Herman Keiser Wins Master's Golf Meet Augusta. Ga., April 8 (I P)—As long as there Is a Masters tournament at the Augusta national goir course the 18th hole will be re-, membered as the one where in. 1946 Ben Hogan lost a master's j title and where Herman Keiser "backed" in to one. That was the topic or conversation all over town today and the discussion may never die. Keiser, the Akron. ().. pro, came up to the 18th hole yesterday need Inga par to assure himself of the title and the 12,500 fir«t prize He got off a good drive hut was long on his approach which seemed destined to carry him well beyond the green. But his ball hit the pin and stopped on the green less than 2<> feet from the hole and it looked like he was "in”. Then a* sotpe 2.000 of the 7.500 spectators looked on. he pushed a putt some five feet beyond the cup and missed coming back to give him a bogey five, a 74 for the round and a 282 total. Meanwhile, Hogan the Hershey.

New York Giants Given Little Chance At National Pennant

(Editor's note —This Is the 13th in a serie* on the 1946 prospects of the major league baseball teams.) BY LEO 44. PETERSEN (United Pres* Sport* Editor) New York. April R (UP) All Is not well with the New York (Hants. Report* of dissension among the players, with some of them jumping to the Mexican league, ha* left a lot of baseball people wondering whether any pennant! chances Mel Ott harbored have' faded away. The prospects never were too rosy and the event* ot the last 10 days probably haven't helped the morale of the club. But to offset that, the Giants are going Into the pennant campaign knowing they are going to have catcher Walker Cooper and outftelder Willard Marshall ready for duty. That will be a big help, but with all their vaunted power at the plate the Giants never did stack up as anything more than a club which had a chance to land in the first division, with little or no pennant chance. Ott feels that everything depends on hi* pitching. He is hopeful, but other* are not. There also Is a question whether bis fielding, particularly in the outfleld, will do. With Cooper and Marshall out of service and available tor opening day, Ott believes he will have at least six .300 hitters In the heart of his batting order. He is counting on Johnny Mise at first, Mickey Witek at second, and outflelders Be be Young and Rid Gordon, along with Cooper and Marshall. for that hitting. That doesn't lake Ott himself In

Hi* putt for a birdie and a clear title carried about two and a half feet past the cup Then he carefully putted the shot that would have given him a fie but the ball stopped about an inch from the cup and the match was over. o Zollners, Oshkosh To Battle Tonight Chicago. April 8 (UP) Fort Wayne's Zollners will attempt to win their third successive title tonight when they meet the Oshkosh. Wis.. All-Star in the last of a three-game series in the eighth annual world's basketball tournament finals The Hoosiers evened the series Saturday with a 56 to 47 victory over the Badgers In the first game Oshkosh won 61 to 59. The Chicago American Gear* won third place Saturday by defeating the Baltimore. Md. Bullets 65 to 50 It was the second year that the Gear* came out in the consolation spot. Big George Mikan tossed in 27 points to lead the triumph. Bobby M<lh>rmott spearheaded the Zollners' offensive with 13 points to beat the 1942 champions, but Leroy Edwards le*l the scoring with 24 points for the AllStars. The score was tied six times before Fort Wayne took a 14 Io 12 lead which they increased con-

to account. There is a question now that Marshall will be available whether the Giant skipper will' play regularly. The chances are he will go with Marshall in his old right field spot. Young, whose arm is not very good. In center and Gordon In left, holding himself, Johnny Rucker mid either Jess Pike cr Morrle Atnovich In reserve. Ott would be tne iso. 1 pinch hitter against right handed pitchers with Ernie Ix>tnbardi. who wilt be Cooper's No. 1 understudy back of the plate, getting the call for emergency hitting duty when a lefty la going for the opponents. Clyde Khittz will he the No. 3 man on the Giant* receiving staff. After a lot of experimenting. Ott apparently has Anally decided on hi* Infield—Mize at flrat. Witek at second, rookie Bill Rigney at short and Buddy Kerr, the wartime shortstop at third. In reserve will be Buddy Biattner, the veteran Dick Bartell, and probably Mike Schetper. Not even Ott knows what he is going to have for pitching but be is counting on BUI Voiaelie to revert to his 1*44 form and on two rookies, Dave Koslo and Mike Budnick, to come through for regular starting duty. The fourth starter probably will be selected frbm among Van Lingle Mungo, who topped the Giant staff last ccssoa. the veteran Hal Schumacher, Harry Felman or Bob Carpenter. Bob Joyce, up from the Paclflc Coast league; Ace Adams, the relief expert; Rube Flicher and Ken Trinkle appear to bo th* leading candidate* for the other mound posts. .J.-,,- ’
