Melchoir is described as an excellent ball handler and fast. ; Northwestern’s News Service sent out the following information on young Vance: “On the basis of his showing to date, the Logansport product is destined to become one of the outstanding guards in Wildcat history. Standing 6 feet 2 inches, the young man has all the necessary physical attributes. He is a tireless worker and anxious to

learn.” F » ” » 8 8

Meehan Quits At Manhattan

NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (U. P).— Manhattan College was in the market for a football coach today, a man to fill the shoes of Chick Meehan who resigned after a six-

year stand to devote full time to his construction business. Manhattan had its best grid season in history this year, winning six, tying one and losing three on a tough intersectional schedule and there had been no indication of a rift between the college and Meehan, who came to the Jaspers when football was “de-emphasized” at New York University in 1932. Meehan said he had not been asked to succeed Harry Kipke at Michigan, that he had no other coaching prospects, and did not know whether he would accept one if proffered.

PLAYER AT MANUAL FOUND INELIGIBLE

After three years of basketball for Manual High School, Lester Bolander, six-foot reserve center, has been declared ineligible because of the I. H. 8. A. A. age rule, Coach Oral Bridgford has announced. The squad held a long offensive practice yesterday, preparing for Manual’s third and fourth basketball games to be played this weekend against Warren Central and Greenfield. .

truth. At any rate when Purdue plays the Trojans in the Pan-Pa-cific Auditorium at Los Angeles Dec. 28, and when Indiana meets them the next night, the result will be a demonstration of basketball as it is played in the Hoosier state. Four of the probable Southern Cal-

‘| ifornia starters are former Indiana

high school stars. They are Harold (Bill) Remsen and Carl (Butiercup) Anderson, exAnderson players and U. 8S. C. regulars last year; Ralph Vaughn, a sophomore, who was an All-State forward with Frankfort’s 1936 state champions, and Clemons Ruh, a junior, who led Anderson to its first championship in 1935. Teammates Now Rivals

Bitter defeats and never-to-be-forgotten thrills of Hoosier state high school tournaments should be the background of those two games, in Pan-Pacific Auditorium. Vaughn teamed with Jay McCreary, Indiana’s brilliant sophomore forward, as Frankfort’s high scoring combination for three seasons and in 1936 they paced the Casemen to the greatest tournament victory of recent years. | - When ™ ° and the An '-~-on Indians won their 1935 championship, they defeated a Jeffersonville team which had romped to 30 consecutive victories before it was stopped in the final game. Bill Johnson and Ernie Andres, Indiana’s leading pointgatherers this season, were the stars of that Jeffersonville quintet. How do they happen to be at the University of Southern California? Nobody seems quite sure, but the parade of Floosiers to the Golden West began after Everett Case, present Frankfort coach who did a trick at Anderson a few years ago, spent a winter at U. 8. C. as Sam Barry's assistant. | Off to Good Start The Trojans, who won 19 and lost six last season, started fast this year, defeating ‘the fast Screen Guild team in a practice game. They started an Eastern invasion last Thursday, stopped off in New Mexico long enough to win from New Mexico State College, 68-41 and 44-40, on | successive nights, and moved on to New Orleans, where they defeated Tulane twice: After meeting Louisiana. State and Rice, they return. to Los Angeles next week to prepare for Purdue and Indiana. | li Speedy. little Clemmy Ruh, who was a substitute last season, is the sparkplug pf the quintet with his dynamic, aggressive play. He is at his best in a fast-breaking game, and drives too hard to last the fuil 40 Junutes, ye : Vaughn combines speed with good marksmanthip, although his newness to varsity play may be a handicap for a time. As a high school player Vaughn was considered one of the duced.
