Albert (Bruno) Betzel, former member of the Louisville American Association baseball team, will manage the Colonels in 1932, it was announced here today by William Neal, business manager of the team. He will succeed Allan Sothoron, who recently resigned and was appointed coach for the St. Louis Browns. Betzel came to the Louisville team in 1919 and remained seven years.

Betzel was one of Louisville’s most popular pastimers during his long career on the Colonel infield. A broken leg slowed him up finally and sent him into the managerial ranks.

Problems faced by Sewell Leitzman, coach at Central Normal college in Danville in selecting his starting lineup becomes difficult when the full back position is reached. Almost as near alike in ability as they look in the above picture, are Red Riley and Art Gross, ball-toting position candidates. With the punting, it’s a different story, for Smitly, the team center, is the class and he drops back from the pivot position to kick. But Riley and Gross are as near alike as Mike and Ike, with one exception, and that is Riley can play a good game at tackle. Against Oakland City in the homecoming game Saturday, Leuzman plans to have all the power he can in the lineup, so when not playing fullback, Riley will be at right tackle.
