PHAR LAP, AUSTRALIAN WONDER HORSE, ARRIVES IN U. S.

Hinkle Serves as New Butler Sport Chief Leave of Absence Granted Coach Bell Expected to Mark Passing of Former Lombard Mentor; Resignation Is Denied; Other Changes Planned. BY DICK MILLER Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle was back as head of the Butler university athletic department today. He becomes the director, at least temporarily, for the second time in five years, having held the post for one year, 1927 to 1928. Harry M. Bell, who has directed the athletic program at the north side institution for the last two years, was relieved of his duties Thurs-

day, when the president, Dr. Walter Scott Athearn, and the athletic board granted him a leave of absence to pursue a post-graduate course at the University of Southern California. Bell stated today that he has not resigned the directorship, as reported, but merely followed his dictates to get out of the local situation as soon as possible for the benefit of all. He added that he is a member of the faculty and not an outright athletic board employe, and as such will come up for reappointment or retirement by the faculty next spring along with all other faculty members. The Butler athletic situation has been one of turmoil since the passing of H. O. (Pat) Page, who resigned the Butler post after a successful career to accept the head football coaching position at Indiana.

Hinkle

Hinkle, who was Pat Page’s assistant, was elevated to athletic head after Page resigned in 1927, but after a bad season, due primarily to poor material, he became a victim of the insurgents who were demanding that Butler get into the big league class, meeting the Big Ten caliber teams along with building a stadium and fieldhouse, and Hinkle was supplanted by George (Potsy) Clark.

Clark went along until the North Central Association of Universities and Colleges frowned on Butler's athletic department as it was financed, and ordered that Clark be removed because he was being paid SIO,OOO a year. Success at Lombard Bell, who had a fine record at Lombard college in Illinois, was sought for the second time. He reiused the position at the time Hinkle was displaced in 1928. However, since coming to the local school while Butler was on probation from the North Central, Bell indicated to his friends that he didn’t feel he could stay. The first move was the notice of leave of absence given Bell. If he is not reappointed to the faculty in the spring, he will be automatically out. President’s Statement When interviewed regarding the announcement that Coach Bell had resigned. President Walter S. Athcarn today said Bell had not resigned and reaffirmed the statement that the coach had been granted a leave of absence to continue graduate study, effective Feb. 1, and that ak that time Paul (Tony) Hinkle will assume the responsibilities which Bell is laying down. Bell’s contract as Butler athletic director expires at the end of the current academic year, at which time his leave of absence also expires. Hinkle will serve, with full power, as athletic director, until the end of the academic year. The board of athletic control then will make its decision on a permanent athletic director, and it is said Hinkle will be chosen. It has been indicated that Butler will pass up track, which will mean the passing of Herman Phillips, Olympic star and record holder, as coach. With track on the shelf, Butler probably will turn to baseball, with William McGill, said to be solidly intrenched in hi' position as trainer, as diamond coach.

No Wine —Just Bananas By United Press t T)ARIS, Jan. 15. Members of the French Olympic team will observe A strictly United States prohibition laws in favor of bananas at the Olympic games in Los Angeles, Ferdinand Cuny, veteran Olympic trainer, reported to the French Olympic committee. Cuny declared, in his report, that “dry” athletes' who eat enough bananas can win over wine or beer-drinking contestants 90 per cent of the time. He cited the case of the French boxing team which went to Chicago last winter. Aboard ship the ten boxers drank twelve quarts of wine with each meal, the first day, but had cut the ration to three bottles a meal before the liner reached New York. In Chicago. the team dried up completely and won plenty of fights.
