By Eddie Ash McMillin Is Sure to Make ’Em Hustle mam Bo Will Have Indiana Doing Tricks

M an Y football followers are of the opinion that Indiana university got a good break when it lost out on Don Peden and landed Bo McMillin for the Crimson head football coach duties. McMillin is a colorful figure with a brilliant background in the collegiate sports world and he is sure to put the old fight into the Hoosier warriors. Veteran grid fans here will recall when Bo played in Indianapolis with the Centre college eleven and trounced De Pauw at old Washington park. The Kentuckians had a wonder eleven and they knew plenty of football. The Centre stalwarts learned the game from all angles and the back field men often played in the line and the forwards shifted to the back field. They were a versatile crew’ and it is evident Bo McMillin goes in for that kind of coaching. If you know anything about that 193.3 Nebraska team you will have to admit Bo had a strong eleven at Kansas State. The Cornhuskers beat the Aggies, but it was only by 9 to 0, and Coach Dana Bible’s Nebraska outfit was one of the very best machines in the country. Asa matter of fact, Nebraska was so tough Stanford w’anted no part of the Cornhuskers for the Rose Bowl New Year’s classic and chose Columbia instead, only to be licked anyway. Kansas State played a tie with Michigan State last fall and the Wolverine Farmers were nobody’s pushover. a a a a a a DON PEDEN established a fine record at Ohio university, but that league doesn't measure up in all-round class to the Big Six conference in which Kansas State mingles. Ohio U. has an enrollment of about 4.000 and grid material always is plentiful there. One football fault at Indiana has been the inability of the warriors to stay at the peak of form for the full season More than once it looked as though the Crimson performers bogged down along about the middle of the campaign after jumping off to a glowing start. In 1933 hard-pounding Minnesota Gophers, a real team of top flight rating, was held to a 6 to 6 tie by the Hoosiers, and Michigan, the Big Ten champion, was lucky to get a scoreless draw' with the giants of the north. However, Indiana hit the toboggan after its splendid showing at Minneapolis and the remainder of the season was more or less of a washout. a a a a a a BO M MILLIN has a reputation for keeping his men on edge all of the way. He believes in hustle and jumps into the business of coaching the same way he served as a player. HLs style of teaching pleases the customers. He follows no set system and is likely to pull something spectacular at any time. Bos teams are strong gate attractions, and. after all, it’s the gate that keeps the ball rolling on college gridirons. Indiana doubtless wishes it had its 1934 schedule to make over. The home schedule is not so hot. but perhaps McMillin’s presence will offset this situation. Indianapolis’ legion of football fans will be keen to see Bo directing the Hoosiers. a a a a a a WE don't recall the names of McMillin's mates on that old Centre college eleven. Bo was the quarter back. Red Roberts and Tex Covington were other famed members. Charlie Moran, National League umpire, was the coach. They were the ‘Prayin’ Colonels,” but most of the prayers were said by opponents, after Moran’s boys rolled over ’em. Old Charlie evidently was responsible for that "Prayin’ Colonels” tag. He is likely to break out with a prayer most any time despite the fact he has been in baseball for many years. He was with a bunch of big league umpires who stopped off in Indianapolis once and a dinner was given in their honor. Chief item on the bill of fare was refreshments, and one of the guessers became talkative, with gestures. Pounding on the table w’as his chief gesture. However, we recall that there was a prayer of some sort at that dinner, and Charlie Moran suggested it. He apparently went big during his early days traveling the sawdust trail. a a a a a a IN the summer of 1923 Bo McMillin attended coaching school under Knute Rockne at Notre Dame. On the field one day the many coaches w’ere standing around listening to instructions from the old master. Jim Crowley was attending summer college and he was out on the field that day taking in Rockne’s lecture. McMillin had perfected a brilliant pass that was admired by Knute. Bo took the ball from center, ran back, leaped into the air and fired the leather w'ith speed and accuracy to a receiver down the field. ’’Show' ’em that pass. Bo.” Rockne requested McMillin w r ent through with it and Rockne remarked: “It’s a dandy, but the trouble is you are the only man I know’ who can do it that way.” Knute saw Jim Crowley standing by with an ear stretched taking in the show and he commanded: "Here. Jim, let’s see how T awkward you can be with it.” Jim shuffled up. took the ball from center, wiggled his hips as he ran back a few yards, leaped and shot the ball forward for an exact duplication of McMillin’s feat. Rockne was astounded, as were the other coaches Knute looked at Jim and said: ‘ I would expect something like that out of you.” Whereupon Crowley w’alked up to McMillin. shook hands and commented: "Well. 80. I guess we’re both good." In 1924 Crowley was a starring member of Rockne’s undefeated championship Four Horsemen eleven. Jim is now' the head coach at Fordham university, New’ York.

Mary MacKinnon Scores 628; Bob Darnaby Also Is Star

BY PAUL STRIEBECK (Pinch Hitting; for Lefty I.ee) In the past few weeks the women have been coming to the front in their bowling efforts. Mary MacKinnon, a member of the McGaw Insurance team of the Block Optical Ladies League at the Pritchett alleys, took all the honois with a smashing 628. with 214, 224 and 190, last night. Thus huge total was not enough for the Insurance pasrimers, however. and they dropped a pair to the Bowes Seal Fast five. In team play. Mausner Beer and Coca-Cola lost three sets to Fox Jail Birds and Jack C. Carr teams, as Real Silk was claiming the same result. S. & S. Service and MaroU Shoe Store managed to single out a game from Julian Goldman Store and Beard's Brake Service. Individual play found many high totals. Court had 575: Dawson. 566: Burnett. 549: Lathrop. 547: Weise. 543: Buring. 538; Cox. 525: Haves. 521: Touney. 519; Carston. 518; Meyer, 518; Alexander. 516; McAniy. 513; Meyer. 511: Machino. 510; Thornton. 506; Kagel. 505; Weisman. 504; Bunch and Stuart, each 503. and Meeker. 501. Bob Darnaby displayed some ot his old-time form in the Avalon League at the Prietchett alleys when he found the pocket consistently for 277. 184 and 255 for 716 to give the Putts a clean sweep over Spickelmeiers. The Kemper Divots pulled one for the book by winning all three games by a margin of twentyfour pins, the first game by eight pins, the second by six and th? last game by ten pins. The Drivers were the victims. The Roughs and Caddies finished one up on Traps and Irons. joe Fulton produced his second big total of the week with a 210. 208 and 278 for 696 Hueber had 621, along with Fulton's total and the Barbasols emerged three-game victors from Marotts Shoe Store in the City League at the Antler alleys. The 630 by Pritchett and 629 by Murphy for Jones-Maley could not offset Dick Nordholts 258. 237 and 190 for 685 and the Hoosier Coffee shaded the Jones-Maley five. Jack Hunt had that ball of his back in the pocket last night when he accounted for 228. 234 and 220 for to give Fall City Beer the odd game from Indiana Wheel and Rim team, who had Argus with 616. For Hotel Antlers, Ray Fox shot a 608 to take two from Elks Boosters.

Gandoff. 628 Mathews. 613; Tectrowe and Bisesi. 610; Kiefer. 607; Danna. 605 Wuensch. 603. and Baker. 600. Carl Hardin was back on the main track with 661 in the Postoffice League at the Pritchett alleys, after going on a siding last week In team play the two out of three ruling was good with the odd game going to Illinois Street Station and Three Trippers over City Case and Sub Carriers.

And Then It Snowed RED KILLEFER. manager of the Indianapolis baseball club, spent yesterday hugging a radiator and thinking that perhaps he caused that snowfall in Indianapolis. On Thursday, when the sun was doing its best to make local sports followers baseballminded, Killefer became so enthused that he boasted about an earlv mild spring. He said: “We’ll train in Evansville and save money for other necessities. Why go to Florida. California or Texas, w'ith all this fine weather on tap right here in Indiana?” Now Red fears he put the jinx on the sun. There was a little early yesterday and it was out today, but the temperature still was wintry-like. "Hereafter,” Red said, “I’m going to let the early robins do the chirping.”

Neusel Takes Decision Over Chicago Kingfish German May Be Matched With Tommy Loughran on Way to Title Bout: Walter Comes From Behind to Battle Way to Victory. BY JACK CUDDY United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. March 10.—Walter Neusel of Germany stands out today as a dangerous contender for the heavyweight title. He emerged victor over King Levinsky last night after a savage brawl in Madison Square Garden. The roar of approval from 12,000 fans had scarcely died down when Jimmy Johnston announced the Garden would match Neusel against Tommy Loughran. March 23. if Loughran would accept. Although booed in the early rounds by anti-Nazi fans, the tall, slender chemist from Westphalia got up from the floor in the second round and came on to win the split decision and thunderous applause.

Had the fight been slated for fifteen sessions, he unquestionably would have tagged the rugged Chicago Kingfish with his first knockout. Levinsky, after his best and most desperate New York showing, was a badly beaten man at the final bell. The judges disagreed. Harold Bares voting for Levinsky and Marty Monroe for a draw. Their vote was thrown out, and referee Arthur Donovan gave the verdict to the German. King Tries Everything Many experts figured Levinsky the winner. They thought Donovan must have penalized the Kingfish for foul tactics. Levinsky smashed Neusel in the face twice after bells; he heeled him often with his glove; hit him when breaking from clinches, and held him while trying to club him. Levinsky was no ring clown last night; he was savagely trying to win. Donovan said he had not penalized the Chicagoan, but had given Neusel seven rounds for superior fighting. The United Press score sheet credited Levinsky with six and Neusel with four. Neusel won the first round. Levinsky the second. He connected with a hard right to the chin and floored Neusel for the count of two. Levinsky had him groggy in the third. Neusel recovered in the fourth and won that session. Neusel Flounders Neusel kept walking in during the fifth, sixth and seventh, but was met by a barrage of swings to head and body that lost him those rounds and had him floundering at times. Levinsky tired in the eighth and the German plugged him at long range with smashing blows to head and body. One long right to the jaw staggered the Kingfish. At the end of that session, Levinsky hunched over his corner pail like a seasick voyager. The German battered him about the ring in the two closing sessions. Levinsky tried desperately to rally in the tenth and they slugged toe to toe like longshoremen, but Neusel had much the better of the mixing. Levinsky was groggy at the bell.

Meyers Wins Feature Bout Ray (Tuffy) Meyers surprised a thousand wrestling fans in Tomlinson hall as he copped the first and third falls to win from Duke Ruppenthal, Milwaukee, of the feature bout on the weekly card staged by Jimmy McLemore last night. Struggling with a man who obviously was the cleverer grappler, Meyers took the first tumble with a top body scissors, last the second when the Duke lunged through the ropes in a flying tackle, and gained the third with a body pin. Meyers’ tactics in winning the final fall infuriated the crowd to near-lynching temper, and Tuffy scampered for the dressing room as police and firemen guarded the doors to prevent trouble. He had kicked Ruppenthal to knock him out for the fall. In the semi-final bout Tommy Tassos threw Hugh Webb with an airplane spin in twenty-two minutes. In the curtain raiser Walter Hickman threw Bill Webb in twelve minutes with a crotch and slam.
