TT ISN’T unusual for a Butler -1. athlete to make good In the coaching profession—lf you’ll look over your list you’ll find that many

of them have. And in big red letters, you’ll see the name of Waiter Floyd. The former Blue grid and court star is head man at Cicero, and his record for this cage season is one otf which most any coach justly could be proud. Cicero has played fifteen games this season and won twelve.

I. U. Trips Hawkeyes

Northwestern’s Undefeated Five Rallies to Top Gophers. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Prcu Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—A basketball championship to keep its football title company seemed destined today for Northwestern university. Reaching the half-way mark in the Big Ten basketball race without defeat, Northwestern held a two-game lead over its nearest rivals, Minnesota and Indiana, tied for second place, each with four victories and two losses. By defeating Minnesota Monday night at Evanston, 35-26, Northwestern annexed its sixth straight conference victory. Northwestern has six games left to play, one each against Chicago, Minnesota, Illinois and Ohio State, already beaten by the Wildcats, and two with lowa, which has lost five out of six games. For the second time in succession, Northwestern found the going tough in the first half in defeating Minnesota Monday night, when the Gophers outplayed Northwestern in the initial period and led at the half, 15-11. Indiana moved into a tie with Minnesota for second place by overwhelming the weak lowa team, 31-18, in a rough game, in which there were twenty-nine personal fouls. Sparkling play by Dauer, substitute forward, 4n the second half, featured the tilt. Blagrave, who was injured at the start of the season, turned in a good performance in his first game of the Big Ten campaign, while Dickey played well at center. Reigert starred for the Hawkeyes.

Cruising in Sportland

ROGERS HORNSBY has been mentioned frequently lately by baseball writers in discussing the dethroning of Joe McCarthy of the Chicago Cubs and the consensus seems to be that his selection as manager of the Bruins was as much a surprise to the Rajah as any one else. It seems that Hornsby wasn’t quite certain of his Chicago rating and was wondering if the Cub magnates would be content to keep paying him a large salary in view of his bad year. Rogers was nosing around and said a word or two regarding the boss berth with the Yankees. He had an idea he’d like to take a fling at managing an American League club. Then came his appointment as Cub chief and McCarthy’s selection as the Yanks* leader.

Hornsby got all the gravy fat that switch. He took over the ball club—a first flight club—that McCarthy had built up, and Joe,in turn, had to be content with taking a slipping Yankee aggregation that must be built up all ever again, a a a Whether Hornsby ib as good a builder as McCarthy’remains to be seen. At any rate he is a smart manager and he should get results with the club that Joe built. a m m CY WILLIAMS, at 43, once a prince of home run sluggers, Is facing his first year In minor league baseball. This Is, of course, unless he insists on retiring for good. The boys think differently. They figure the call of baseballdom will be too strong for old Cy to resist. Cy served under seven different managers in his time—Pat Moran, Jack Combs, Gabby Cravath, Wild Bill Donovan, Irv Wilhelm, Art Fletcher and Burt Shotten. a m a Johnny Miljus, he of world series wild pitch fame, Is to be dropped by the San Francisco Seals. Johnny is attempting to sell his service* and should he be successful he’ll have to give the Seals 37,500. a a a The gang still Is laughing over the one you’ve already heard—about Barney Dreyfus saying to the newspaper boys that he thought Gus Suhr was a second Hal Chase . . . Gus returned his contract unsigned . . . And now Barney’s telling Gus he was only kidding . . . That’s a laugh. Gus likes that kind of kidding. a a m INDIANA and Purdue played at basketball Saturday night. "Played at” is correct. Usually when the two teams get together a near “classic” comes off.

Boston, will be Jimmy Foxx’s replacement at first base. The outfield remains the same, Simmons, Haas and Bing Miller. Roger Cramer and James Moore have been held as reserves and three simon-pure rookies— Louis Finney and John Leslie from the Georgia-Alabama League, and Robert Johnson of Portland—have been added. Finney and Leslie batted close to .400 In their circuit, while Johnson was a .273 hitter. Strenuous efforts are being made to secure aid for Bob Grove, George Earnshaw, Bill Shores, Rommel, Walberg and Mahaffey. Six pitchers have been added, aside from southpaw Charles Perkins, who was acquired last season, and Glen Liebhardt, George Snider and A1 Mahan, who have been recalled. The new twirlers are James Deshong, from Harrisburg; Sollie Carter and Merritt Cain, from the Georgia-Alabama League; Herbert Lahti and Henry McDonald of Portland and Albert Butcher, a freeagent from West Virginia. Mack regards several of the new men as excellent prospects and hopes to develop at least two pitchers who will aid his great first stringers. Mickey Cochrane is the only survivor of the Athletics’ catching staff and he is an entire receiving department in himself. Wally Schang has gone to Detroit and Ralph Perkins to the Yankees.
