T. PAUL has decided to clean house and if the management fulfills its promise Indianapolis fans won't recognize the Apostles when they unpack their bats at Perry Stadium next spring. . .. The club officials plan wholesale trading and buying at the minor league convention in Milwaukee next week and are prepared to entertain offers for the entire squad. . . . Picked as pennant contenders this year, the Saints folded early and got stalled in the second division and remained there all season to finish seventh. Unable to fathom the exact cause of the 1937 failure, the club leaders believe the wise thing to do is to break up the combination and the new broom has been brought out for action. , .. According to Lou McKenna, business manager, at least three, and possibly four, infielders, one or two outfielders, a catcher and three pitchers are on
the shopping list. n un u

The former Indianapolis flinger won 10 games and lost 15 with the Vols last season. . , , Johnny Humphries, Southern Association mound king, won 20 and lost seven with New Orleans. . . . He also was strikeout leader and had a no-hitter to his credit. . . » The righthander will be given a chance with Cleveland in 1938. Old Dale Alexander fell off in home-run production with 15, but paced the Dixie loop in doubles with 42. . . . Outfielder Coaker Triplett, purchased from Memphis by the Chicago Cubs, lived up to his name by topping the Southern in triples with 23. , . . Ilis .356 mark won the

He did not have a good season in any department in 1937 and probably will be compelled to win the job all over again. . . . Pennant-winning clubs do not stand pat if there Is a weak link and the Yankees are not “so sure” at second base and the shortfield. . . . The keystone territory is too important to let slide and a merry battle is promised for the assignments. Joe Gordon, second sacker up from Newark, may be shifted to short to give Crosetti competition and let Don Heffner and Ham Schulte fight it out for second base. . . . Schulte is up from Kansas City and hardly will make the big league grade as a batter,

Frankfort Hot Dogs Bow to Tipton; Martinsville Wins Again.
The state champion Anderson Indians today had been dropped from the ranks of the undefeated,
but other favorites turned in impressive victories in Thanksgiving eve high school basketball games last night. Orville. Hooker's Marion quintet, playing on its home floor, handed the Indians their first defeat in 18 games, including tournament play last spring, by a 21-15 score. The Giants stopped Anderson's vaunted attack cold in the first half, taking a 10-3 half-time lead, and coasted to victory, Coach Johnny Ward's Tipton five served notice that they are back on top this year with a 21-16 triumph over the once-mighty Frankfort Hot Dogs. Bedford and Martins= ville continued to lead the Southern Indiana parade, the Stonecutters defeating Washington, 38-12, and the Artesians sprinting to a 43-35 victory over Columbus in a red-hot encounter, Other standout games included Rochester's 25-11 conquest of Loe gansport, Seymour's 36-28 triumph over Bloomington, and Connersville's 25-24 victory over Newcastle, Last night's scores: Ellettsville, 39; Unionville, Whiteland, 32; Fairland, 30, Franklin, 29; Shelbyville, 25, Muncie, 31, Ft.

Bears Play Sound Game; , Precision Marks Blocking
BERKELEY, Nov. 256 (N. E. A) .-~California may not have a wonder team, but will send a thunder team onto the Rose Bowl turf, Jan. 1. The Far West will be well represented at Pasadena. The unbeaten Pacific Coast Conference champion is a solid team, In rolling to two touchdowns in eight minutes against Stanford, the Golden Bears were remindful of the Pittsburgh Panthers in the fourthe quarter comebacks against Notre Dame and Nebraska, Drilled by the fundamentalists, Jock Sutherland and Stub Allison, Pittsburgh and California play sound football. A hard-charging line is the basis® of their running games, They build | up passes by displays of running | ability, but Berkeley boasts the more skilful passers and receivers. The Golden Bears outkick the Panthers, too. California blocks with all the precision and fierceness of Pittsburgh, Against Stanford, the Bears employed little offensive trickery, Superlative and bewildering cross=blocking enabled them to march eighty-three yards in thirteen plays for the first toucndown., They opened their second touchdown drive with an unexpected pass, ran the reverse instead of faking it, and traveled sixty-five yards to hit pay dirt in six plays, They Couldn't Be Stopped Stanford's guards and tackles did not know where the blockers were coming from in the initial touchdown parade. Dave Anderson faked to Sam Chapman or Chapman
faked to Anderson from short punt formation, and after making a half spin, spun back through gaping holes. Johnny Meek didn't switch until Cardinal substitutes brought in instructions that stopped the spinner on the 5-yard line. Then the burly quarterback shifted to a single wing formation, and shipped Vic Bottari off the Palo Alto left tackle for the score, All fall, Chapman has been running reverses inside the ends, But on California’s second thrust, Chapman broke wide around | Grant Stone, Stanford's signal-calling right end. Meek took Stone in and Anderson swept around in front of Chapman to mop up the secondary. As he stuck to the fake reverse in the first drive, Meek kept at this successful play until Chapman went across the Indians’ goal line standing up.
Backfield Highly Efficient
As someone remarked, speedy Sam could have loped all the way to Los Angeles for all the Cardinals could have done about it, There is nothing gaudy about the California backfield, but it is a highly efficient one, working behind guards of the caliber of Vard Stockton and Claude Evans, tacKles of the type of Bill Stoll and Dave de Varona, and an end like Perry Schwartz, who is a converted halfback. Against Stanford, the work of the California backs was particularly noteworthy because of the heavy and slippery condition of the Stanford Stadium field. Chaman is one of the finest allround backs in the business. It is a treat to see a ball-toter run to his left occasionally, and this Chapman does as well as anybody you ever saw,
Chapman Superb as Blocker
Bottari paid richer dividends in a scoring way throughout the campaign, and the club seems to have more pickup when the Vallejo Italian is on the firing line, but Chapman is an even better blocker than he is a ball-carrier. The Tiburon athlete also is a remarkable punter and a lollapaloosa on either end of a pass. Bottari is a flat-footed runner who fights for the last inch, and an accurate passer. Anderson is capable of carrying out the stiffer assignments, and Meek, very fast for his 206 pounds, is a blocker from Blockerville. California's Rose Bowl opponent quickly will find out why there is a new lilt to that old California varsity refrain, “Hit ‘em again, boys; hit ‘em again, boys; hit 'em again, boys, harder!”

Culver Winds Up Grid Season Today
Ray Schalk, new manager of the Indianapolis Indians, was just a “kid” when he broke into league baseball, but his advancement was rapid and after only a season and a hall with the Milwaukee Brewers he was snapped up by the Chicago White Sox during the campaign of 1912 and became one of the all-time “greats” of the national pastime, Veteran fans will remember Schalk best as he is pictured here when he was the “iron man" catcher of the Chicago Americans, He caught more than 100 big league games in each of 12 consecutive sea« sons with the Sox, Schalk put in six years as manager of the Buffalo Internationals and his Bisons finished fifth this year after winning the pennant in 1936.
