BALL STATE BATTLES CE Fencing Club Gets ip
State Les League | Teams Clash Here Tonight
Defeat Is Likely to Put Grey- |
hounds Out of Running for Title.
Ball State’s Cardinals can assume a challenging position in the Indiana College Conference standings by whipping Indiana Central when the two clubs clash here tonight. The Cardinals, at present in fifth place, will have a .chance to change
places with the Greyhounds, who |
are now third, also virtually eliminating Indiana Central from the league race. The Greyhounds have already suffered three losses; another setback would put them almost completely out of the run . Ball State, on the other hand, bowed only twice. Should the Cards win, they would be set to jump to the top of the league providing Franklin and Valparaiso, the leaders, faltered. In the midst of its early-season winning streak, Coach Harry Good's Greyhound outfit trounced the Cardinals at Muncie, 43 to 28. Since the Indiana State game last
week, Good has been drilling his|, crew on defensive tactics to be used |:
in slowing down the Cardinal attack. Indiana Central’s regular lineup of Crowe and Bohr, forwards; Dorion, center, and Hise. and Sharpe, guards, is szpecied to start the game.

Butler Prepares
For DePauw Visit
Following last Monday night's crushing defeat at the hands of Notre Dame, Coach Tony Hinkle has been concentrating more on his reserves this week in an attempt to give added strength for Saturday night’s clash with DePauw University at the Fieldhouse. The DePauw contest will be a return engagement. The Blue and White five eked out a 32-t0-28 victory over the Tigers, Jan. 12 at Greencastle, Butler has dived into another slump and as a result they have been unsuccessful in their last three starts. Up to date the Hinklemen have won nine and lost 11. While only three tilts remain on the schedul, Hinkle is anxious to win all three so as to give him a better than 50 per cent average for the season. Butler still has return games with Wabash at Crawfordsville, Feb. 23, and with Franklin here Feb. 26.
Abe Coleman on Next Mat Card
First local appearance in thgee seasons of Abe (Half Pint) Cole- . man, 205, generally recognized as the Jewish heavyweight mat champion, will serve as an added feature on the Armory wrestling bill Tues- ‘ day night. The New Yorker, touted especially for .-his “Kangaroo” kick, will be remembered here for his two matches with Joe Savoldi and Jim Londos. Facing the rugged Abe in a special semiwindup will be John Katan, 217, claimant of the Canadian heavyweight title, and one of wrestling’s “meanies.” Coleman replaces Doug Wycoff as the only change in the card which will see Steve (Crusher) Casey, 225, powerful Irish mat ace, in action here for the first time. Casey, undefeated in more than 100 matches and recognized as champ by the American Wrestling Association, gost to bat against Milo Steinborn, 226, German “strong man.”

By JOE WILLIAMS : Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 17 (U. P)— Just as many heads of football coaches rolled in the sand, victims of alumni hysteria and other causes, last season as customarily follows a fall campaign; but there are growing indications that an element of sanity is being introduced into _ this phase of the game. The tendency now is- toward long -term contracts and it is encouraging to note the colleges seem as agreeable to such contracts as the coaches. Until recently the 10-year contract A was wiheerd of. It is s reasonWilliams ably rare but at least it exists. Anyway, coaches like Dana Bible, Biff Jones and Bo McMillin have fortified themselves for a stretch of years to come. The long contract carries mutual benefits. It relieves both the coach and the college of an annual headache, and puts a soft pedal on old grad squawks. If a coach happens to have a couple of bad seasons in a row he knows he has other years in which to rebuild~—and he knows, too, there is nothing the militant alumni can do about it. Fritz Crisler recently moved from Princeton to Michigan. The old grads at Nassau started snapping at his heels last season. His earlier successes were forgotten in the more recent disappointments. They felt he wasn’t getting enough out of the material at hand. Another ordinary season there might have produced an organized campaign for his removal. You know how old grads are. The situation being what if is, Crisler didn't hestitate very long about making a deal with Michigan. It was a deal in keeping with the new urge for stability in athletic departments. The details have not been made public but itis generally understood Crisler is “set for life.” Apparently, that’s the kind of job he wanted—and apparently that’s the Hil of job Michigan wanted it
3 Yost Soon to Retire
The circumstances were peculiarly favorable to such an arrangement. Fielding Yost, veteran athletic director, will retire when he is 70, three years from now. He has been more or less in direct command of Michigan football since 1901. Michigan felt it wanted someone of similar stature to replace Yost, someone who would carry on for
-| another long stretch of years.
The university officials shopped around, finally decided on Crisler as the new Yost, and made him a proposition he couldn’t very well refuse; ‘it was a proposition that offered not only an important
| sphere for the exercise of his tal-
ents, but security as well. Ultimately he is to take over Yost’s duties. So far as football is concerned Crisler becomes immediately ‘the head man at coach ever moved in there with so much authority. In all the major details Crisler is responsible to no-

ants finally is chosen you can be certain the men picked were his choices, and his alone. I am told Crisler is wholly in favor of long-term contract .for coaches and when the time comes for him to assume the executive
responsibilities of Micihgan’s entire program, the man he names as his successor in football will be offered a contract guaranteeing security. The first consideration<in the selection of a long-term coach lies in the man’s character and capability. It so happens the field is not limited. There are many coaches who combine presence and integrity with high technical skill. And there are entirely too many such coaches who are sacrificed annually to the wolf cries of the alumni. Crisler himself is replacing one of these unfortunates. Harry Kipke was one of Michigan’s most famous athletes. I happened to be in the press box the day he attained a degree of immortality by punting out of bounds nine times inside the 65-yard line against Ohio State. This is still hailed as the most re7

TO HAWAIIAN POST
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (U.P.).— The Army today announced a drastic reshuffling of its strategic forces designed to befuddle its old enemy —the Navy—on the football gridiron. : Capt. Gar Davidson, football coach at West Point, has been ordered to engineer's duty in Hawaii. Capt. William H. Wood, now stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, has been transferred to West Point where he will
succeed Davidson. First Lieutenant Harvey J. Jablonsky will be shifted from the Canal to West Point where he will assist Wood. . Jablonsky is a former Army football star. All transferrals will be effective about July 1.

markable exhibition of punting football has ever seen. Kipke was an All-America (receiving the accolade from none other than Camp). He was a popular student and a campus idol. Turning to coaching he quickly earl he knew how to teach the game and how to handle the young men under him. He gave Michigan several undefeated teams and several Big Ten champions. He was, in short, one of the best coaches Michigan ever had. + When a coach who has been uniformly successful ceases to win, generally it isn’t necessary to look further than the material. That's what happened to Kipke and Michigah in recent years. ‘The material fell off. To be more specific, it was attracted elsewhere. Kipke did the best he could with what he had. Everybody said Kipke, a modern, aggressive, inventive fellow, was a better coach in losing years than he had been in his winning years. They said his teams were better drilled and had more finish. What they lacked was power and individual greatness. And these are qualities no coach can give a team.
