HUCK KLEIN of the Philadelphia Phillies, the Indianapolis product, is reported headed 4for Minneapolis where the right field fence is a setup for his type of swinger. The Millers were shorn of Ted Williams, last season’s American Association home-run champion, and think Klein is just the ticket to succeed the willowy slugger. Incidentally, Williams probably will do his fence busting for Louisville in 1939. . . . He is owned by the Boston Red Sox and the Colonels will receive surplus talent - from Joe Cronin’s American League club. Jimmy Dykes will ‘set one record and discard another - as soon as the 1989 baseball season opens. . . . He will be beginning his sixth year as manager of the White Sox, the longest an American League manager ever lasted in . Chicago, and he will retire from active duty after 21 years, leaving Ossie Bluege, of Washington, as the seniority champ of the league. : ” FJ 8 ” E4 2 RANKIE FRISCH, deposed as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, is likely to succeed Bill Terry as manager of the Giants when Bill is promoted to the front office as vice president and general manager of the club. New York baseball writers report that Frisch is the fellow Terry has in mind to become:field manager when he retires to the business office in 1940, . . . As the story goes, Terry will engage Frisch as coach next year with . the understanding that he will move up in 1940. New York scribes assert the appointment of Frisch as manager would be a popular choice on the part of President Horace Stoneham and Terry. . . . The newspapermen say Frankie would make a successful manager and would iron out many difficulties that have risen between the Giants and press during Terry’s regime. . . . * Frisch always has been immensely popular with the press and public. : 2 ” ” ®. 2 2

at Notre Dame and has coached only independents and what he terms “kid teams” in Indianapolis and Louisville. ‘At Cathedral he is employing a combination of the systems used by Tony Hinkle at Butler and George Keogan at Notre Dame. That makes it a pretty fast game with the boys constantly on the offense, endeavoring: to move around in a figure eight formation with no two players in the same zone and constantly passing and running the ball toward the backboard.

the Notre Dame basketball team down to play Indiana?” he quizzed. “Jesse Harper was athletic director and basketball coach at the time. He was sick so Rock said he'd take the team to Bloomington. Indiana had a great team that year and at the end of the half Notre Dame was whipped to a frazzle. “Well when the Second half started one Indiana player found himself sailing into the stands on one side of the floor and another was. airplaned into the customer boards on the other side of the court. “That kept up until the referee wore out his whistle calling fouls on the Irish for throwing blocks into Indiana players and stiff arming with one hand while dribbling with the other. “What happened was that Rock couldn’t stand to see any team that he was in charge of lose and between halves in the dressing room gave the club a pep talk like he would his football team and then when they came out again, they got their football mixed up with their basketball.”

Coaches Are Satisfied With Cage Rules

Coaches and officials around here are not doing much arguing among themselves over the changes in the rules for the floor game this year. They all agreed that there weren't

any major changes, at least none which require any studying by the spectator to save himself from being baffled about what’s going on. One difference in the regulations has to do with the time element. By agreement, teams with players of college age may play 10-minute quarters instead . of 20-minute halves. Intermissions between first and second and third and fourth periods of games played in quarters are to be' two minutes instead of one. If agreeable to both teams, en official can take time out in the second and fourth quarters of games between high school or younger teams if there has not been a time out during the first four minutes of the period. Another amendment in a section of the same rule says that if a player dribbles the ball from his back court toward the division” line, the 10-second count. continues as long as he is touching the floor on or behind the division line or as long as the ball in his control is touching the floor on or behind the line. If, while touching or straddling the division line, he passes to a teammate who is in the back court, the play is legal. A two-minute intermission is to be allowed before each extra period. The sudden death method of deciding games between high school and younger quints is to be used in the first overtime period. If neither team scores two points during an overtime, the game is ended if a team has a lead of one point at the end of such period. In the matter of close games when a goal at the whistle may decide, the rule makers now say that if the ball is in the air as the game ends and drops through the hoop, the goal counts if an opposing player touches the ball, but not if a teammate of the shooter does.

By United Press The Hoosier cage season’s earliest major upset was marked up today for the flying New Castle Trojans,

‘who with bursts of scoring power on under-the-basket plays walloped the arch-rival Muncie Bearcats, 45 to 33, at New Castle last night. The victory was extra sweet for a quintet that won only one of its 20 scheduled games last year. The Trojans gained revenge for two merciless beatings administered by the Bearcats in their climb toward the 1938 North Central Conference championship. Led by Marshall Koontz, rangy center who rang up eight field goals and a free toss, New Castle piled up a 28 to 14 lead at the half. In the other Big Ten battle Archie Chadd’s Anderson Indians played their slow-break game again to edge Logansport, 21 to 14. The victory shot the Indians to undisputed leadership of the league. The Kokomo Cats continued their bucket blasting and added another victim, Peru, 39 to 21, for their third straight win. Marion edged Wabash, 26 to 25, after a desperate second half rally and the Jeff Bron-

dimes Special id LEBANON, Nov. 26. — With the final gun cutting short a rally that might have changed the outcome, Cathedral of Indianapolis defeated Lebanon’s Tiger cagers here last night, 26 to 23. It was a ring-around-rosy affair for both teams from the tipoff on out. Both were off the game during most of the first half, with neither squad holding a decided advantage for long. At the midway point Cathedral had a 14-to-10 advantage, and added to it well into the last frame. With Watson, Tiger substitute center, showing the way, Lebanon leaped from nowhere into the game with only four minutes to go. Eight points went up for the Tigers, the Irish meanwhile marking time before the gun cut the rally off cold, The summary:
