Launch 1948 College Net Play In State Indianapolis, Nov. 30 — (UP) — The 1948 Indiana college basketball season, alihough less glamorous than that of Hoosier prep school fives, gets into full swing this week. Twenty-three of the state’s 25 colleges and universities see action between tonight and Saturday as “Hoosier madness spreads to college gyms throughout the state. Already, 11 Indiana college teams have played at least one game each. Indiana university will be the only one among the state’s "big three" to inaugurate its season this week. The “hurryin’ Hoosiers" meet traditional rival D'"iuw on their home floor Saturday night. The I. U. eagers won’t launch their big nine campaign until Jan. 8, when they tussle with Illinois. Purdue's Boilermakers play their opener against Detroit at Lafayette next Monday. Notre Dame, abserving its usual late start because of a longer football season, sees first action against Illinois at South Bend next Wednesday Among the state’s smaller colleges, Anderson's Ravens, coached by “Pop" Heddon and sparked by Johnny Wilson, holder of the Indiana collegiate scoring title for the past two seasons, will meet Olivet, Mich., at home. Saturday. DePauw's Tigers, always a threat in state hardwood circles, as usual will tangle with Canterbury In their open-

Sprunger, of Berne, and a teacher in the Monroe high school, sufered severe facial, arm and hand burns when a double boiler she was using exploded at her home.

Miss Sprunger was stirring a cake frosting in the double boiler when without warning, the pressure of the steam threw the upper boiler to the ceiling of the kitchen, throwing hot water and cake icing throughout the entire kitchen. Leahy To Qui! At ND, Paper Reports Cleveland. Nov. 30.— (UP) — : Frank Leahy, who has seven years | to go on a 10-year contract as dij rector of athletics and bead footI ball coach at Notre DamO, intends to leave the university in another two years, for reasons of his health, the Cleveland Press said I today.

Leahy, whose teams have lost only five out of 79 games during his head coaching career at Boston I College and Notre Dame, plans toi resign as director of athletics after j the 1949 football season, and to leave his football post entirely “in another couple of years." according to press sports writer Jack dowser. There had been previous reports that Leahy intends to quit as director or athletics after Jjotre Dame’s game at Southern California Saturday, with Ed (Moose) Krause, the assistant athletic di-, rector of the Irish, taking over that post. "No, I don’t intend to give up the' athletic directorship this year.”! Leahy was quoted as saying. "But I do after the 1949 season, as you I know, Moose has carrying outi many of the . athletic director's' duties recently, and would fit into ( the job admirably.” Leahy also disclosed his inten-j tion to leave Notre Dame, and probably the game of football itself in any capacity, the press said. “I don’t think I can take it fori more than another couple of' years," he was quoted as saying. ”I’ll have to give it up. It just! gets Ine down and leaves me feeling poorly every year.” Asked if he might go elsewhere to coach, where the pressure might' not be so intense. Leahy told the j press: “No, I don’t think that would be the solution. I'm afraid I might; find myself getting too deeply wrapped up in it.” An assembly of churches held in Manila in Jone resulted in the formation of the United Church of Christ in the Phillippines. according to a release from the Ecumenical Press Service in Geneva. Switzerland. The new church has a combined membership of 123,000 Protestants, including the Congregational. Presbyterian. United Brethren. and Disciples missions, and local Methodist and Evangelical Churches. About one-third of the total number of Protestants on the islands are members of the united , church. * Trad* In a Good Town — Decatur

New York, Nov. 30 —(UP) — Irrepressible Andy Kerr was getting ready today to startle the football world with a new formation — the “double T”—just two years after having been heaved out at Colgate for being too old. It was a dark day for the snappy little Scotsman when he reached Colgate’s retirement age of 68 and was forced to leave the Chenango. While there he had made the Red Raiders a gridiron, power and produced an undefeated, untied and unscored upon team in 1932. But he refused, just as had Amos Alonzo Stagg, to sit on the sidelines. So Andy went to Lebanon Valley in Pennsylvania and just has completed his second winning year. He still is one of the east coaches for the Jan. 1 EastWest Shrine game at San Francisco and, proving that he hasn’t lost any of his zip, is busy cooking up his “double T.” Andy, like a lo‘. of other coaches,i sees the straight T” mania fading. He won't go as far as Penn State’s Bob Higgins, who declares that the "T” will be out completely within five years. “Anybody will stick to a formation as long as they can win with it.” Kerr explained. “But eventually the defenses become so widelyknown that the formation must drop off. “Most high school coaches are teaching the ‘T’ these days,” he added. ““Well, when those boys get to college they don’t know what to do against the single wing or some other system." That’s why Andy, who used the “T” and some single wing this season, is experimenting with his “double T.” Under this system, the halfbacks are stationed as in the double wing, with the quarter-j back up under the center and the; fullback in his usual T spot. Kerr explains Riat he “still isn't too old to learn” and the man who helped bring razzle-dazzle to football gets a hearty smile of agreement from Dartmouth’s Tuss McLaughry. "I can remember seeing you when I was only 14,” McLaughry laughed, “and I'll be darned if you look any older now." Andy agrees and asserts that he still can teach winning football. The record’s would seem to bear him out. Since he went to Lebanon Valley both his clubs were winners. In 1947 his Flying Dutchmen scored four victories against two losses and one tie. Colgate, meanwhile, got only one victory and that over a pitifully weak Kings Point team. This season Kerr's club lost only three games out of nine. Colgate won only three out of nine. And the peppery mite who left leaching mathematics to coach football successively, and successfully, at Pitt, Stanford, Washing 1 ton and Jefferson, and Colgate. | still is looking forward. "To use the double T I need a ' triple threat fullback, a good ball handler at quarterback and at least

one fast halfback for reverses," Andy plans. “I hope I get them,! because I’d like to give this a J whirl.” If he thinks it is the answer, the formation of the future, he may be right, for Kerr long has been regarded as one of football’s smartest coaches. He likes to tell about a rival team which once played against him with 12 nien on the field. “Funny part about it," he grins, “is that it took me three plays to catch on." But that’s a joke, son! The National Heifer Project, an! inter-faith organization for relief and rehabilitation in war-torn, countries, reports that it has purchased 160 heifers in Denmark and will distribute them to Polish welfare groups and needy farmers. Meanwhile, the project is hoping to be able to ship to Japan the 2,000 goats which the army has agreed to transport. Toyohiko Kagawa cabled the project that the eoats so far sent to Japan and Okinawa “are already bringing health, happiness and even life itself to many," and that “their presence is illuminating the missionary message.” Contributions of money for the purchase of goats are welcome at the project’s headquarters in New Windsor, Md.
