straight league win this season and its 10th straight over two campaigns. The Indiana-Northwestern game will headline a full card of five conference battles. The tilt, slated for Northwestern's new McGaw Hall, was sold out early this week and a crowd of more than 10,000 was expected. Northwestern’s chief problem will be to combat Indiana’s Don "Schluudt, the league-leading scorer who has averaged 30.2 points per game as Indiana axed eight league rivals. But to give him an opportunity to score, the Hoosiers also Bob Leonard, another all conference player who ranks eighth in league scoring with an average of 17.8 points per game. Northwestern has one man in the top 10 scorers, Frank Ehmann, who has hit 17.7 points per game, the 9th best mark: The next best Wildcat pointmaker, was Harold’ Grant, 19th in the standings with a 12.7 average. A second major contest on the progtain pits second place lowa against third place Minnesota at Minneapolis. lowa, whose only conference defeat was at the hands of Minnesota, earlier, could be forced to share the runnerup spot by another Gopher win. Mi n nesota, on its home court, was a 6-point favorite. The Gophers have three men in the top 15 scorers, third place. Dick Garmaker, 11th place Chuck Mencel and 12th place Ed Kalafat, while lowa has only Bill Logan, ranked 10th, in the first 15. Other games on the program were Illinois at Wisconsin, Michigan at Ohio State and Michigan State at Purdue in conference scraps, while St. Louis plays De Paul in the Chicago Stadium.

Cincinnati Is First To Sign All Players BY UNITED PRESS The Cincinnati Redlegs finished first in the major leagues todayfirst, that is. in the matter of signing its players. Cracking the Chicago White Sox’ three-year domination of the ’’contract derby,” the Redlegs got under the wire first by getting relief pitchers Frank Smith and . Clyde King to put their autographs on the dotted line. King, the bespectacled former Dodger who won 14 games for the Brooks in 1951 but had only a 3-6 mark with Cincinnati last year, was pursuaded to sign by General Manager Gabe Paul in a telephone talk. He was the 46th Redleg to agree, and Smith became No. 47 a short while later after holding his third face-to-face salary conference with Paul. The curveballing righthander had the best record of any major league relief hurler last year., winning eight and losing one, and has won 20 games in relief over the last two seasons. By contrast, the bitter salary dispute between the Philadelphia Athletics and their top perceut- ' age batsman of last season, Dave PhiUey, flared again. Philley and A’s general manager Earle Mack not only can’t agree on a salary—- ; they can’t agree on what Philley has been offered. „ First Mack said Philley was of- : sered a $6,000 raise and turned it ■ down three times, the last time . with a "very njisty letter.’’ Philley i denied his letter was “nasty.” and , said Mack's top offer “wasn’t any , more than half that.” The White Sox are having seri- , ous contract trouble with outfielder Orestes (Minnie) Minoso, and , may be quite a while reaching the all-signed stage. 1 Outfielder Minoso. who has been carrying on his feud with Sox general manager Frank L’ane via long distance telephone between Chi--1 cago and Havana. Cuba, said in Cuba Thursday that Lane told him he is being mailed a new contract to look over. Last week, Minnie said he and L,ane were about $7,”500 apart. Minoso, who said Lane had been irked by comments he had made, also told him "not to make any i more press statements but just to ait. and wait for, the contract to arrive.” The New York Giants discovered they are losing shortstop Daryl Spencer to the army next Monday. And they also announced the signing of three players — second baseman Davey Williams, utility infielder Bobby Hofman, and rookie shortstop Dave Gardner. The Cardinals and outfielder Harry Elliott came to terms, leaving 15 Redbirds still unsigned. The Cleveland Indians and Philadelphia Phils each brought their I total to 22 signed — the Indians l by getting shortstop George Strickland and pitcher Dave Hoskins, ' both with “substantial boosts” in i pay, and the Phils by getting catcher Stan Lopata. - -The submarine, haa been generally recognised as a legitimate instrument of naval warfare since the Civil War.

Komets To Play Troy Bruins On Saturday FORT WAYNE, Ind-, — With a great 5-1 victory over the Marion Barons tucked away, the Fort Wayne Komets now arg pointing for the all-important game with the Troy Bruins scheduled for the Memorial Coliseum here Saturday night. With Troy now pegged as the team the Komets must pass to gain a berth in the International Hockey League playoffs, the game here Saturday looms as one of the biggest remaining on the I|omet schedule. It also will be the'last Saturday home game of the season for the Komets. Troy still is in sixth place in the IHL race as the teams get ready for the run to the wire, but Fort Wayne is close on the heels of the Ohio skaters. If the Komets can continue the pace they set against Marion, it is possible for Fort Wayne to land among the chosen six that will battle it out for the IHL championship.
