SOUTH BEND, Jan. 31 (U. P.).— Indiana University’s team of sophomores last night nosed out Notre Dame in the season’s first indoor dual track meet, 44% to 41%. Each team won four first places, tied in the high jump and Notre Dame won the mile relay. But Indiana scored enough places to down
the Irish, particularly in the 880yard run, where the Hoosier trackmen scored the only slam of the night. Mel Trutt, Indiana distance star, took this event and the mile run as well, Capt. Gregg Rice of Notre Dame won his specialty handily when he outstepped Bente of Indiana in the two-mile run. One meet record was shattered when Roy Cochran, Hoosier sophomore, tore off the 440-yard dash in 50.4 seconds. Indiana might have won the mile relay had it not been for a bad pass of the baton from Fred Elliott to Cochran which permitted Joe Halpin of Notre Dame to beat Cochran to the tape by an eyelash.
Gleeson 1st Cub Fielder to Sign
CHICAGO, Jan. 31 (U. P.)— jimmy Gleeson, rookie obtained from the Newark club of the International League, today became the first Chicago Cubs outfielder to return a signed 1939 contract. In the samé mail with Gleeson’s contract came that of Steve Mesner, utility infielder, bringing the number of Cubs in the fold to 16. The rest of the outfielders apparently are a hit hesitant about Owner Phil K. Wrigley’s basic salary plan. They haven't been heard from, although virtually all

GREENWOOD, Jan. 31. — There isn’t much aiferyuce between coaching high school and college basketball, Glenn Curtis says after the first semester of his freshman year in the latter. But he concedes that there might be if the talent-which appears at Indiana State Teachers College 'improves. : The veteran mentor who produced and masterminded championship teams at Martinsville High School for 18 years was here last night to help Greenwood fans fete Alvin Shumm’s Franklin County champions. . “I haven’t found much difference in the job yet,” said the former Artesian artist. “What do you mean, most of them have their fundamentals mastered before they come to college? “All those kind, those good ones, haven’t been going to Indiana State. They go to Purdue and Butler. Maybe some of them will be Sycamores in the future. I hope so. All the boys I have this year are from right around the Wabash Valley. They're willing: workers, but until now I haven’t had anything like some of the boys I've had in high school and that my teams played against.
Glenn Started From Scratch
“With the kind of material I had this year I had to start from scratch and do a lot of reforming in their basketball habits.’ Of course, that may be well because they're learning the game the way I want them to right at the outset. ~~ “Maybe if better high school players start going to Indiana State I'll change my mind about scholastic and college coaching being different.”
When Glenn—536 victories against 143 defeats is the record of his high
Here is some of the hot under-the-basket play waged by the local Kautskys and the Pittsburgh Pirates in their game at the Fieldhouse last night, which the Kautskys won, 40-38. In this scramble

school teams—said “reform” - he could have gone farther, if he cared to, into the Indiana State basketball situation and his relation to it. If there isn’t any difference in coaching: college and high school ball, the system for the latter, at least the Curtis system, must be pretty good. :
Has Already Ended Victory Famine
Recalled to his alma mater to end the basketball victory famine, Glenn has won seven out of 12 this year. That's going great guns for the Sycamores because last season they won one in 17 and were charged with the same miserable performance the season before that. Curtis is using the same stuff— all of it—at Terre Haute which he used at Martinsville. He's still using pivots, set plays, screens, most everything in the books as the occasion demands. The old wizard still is putting greatest stress on personal instruction. Is the elimination of the afterscore toss up better for the game? “Makes it better to watch. Makes it easier on the coach. He has one less trouble—finding a young giant to do the tipping.” ed How about the state high school picture? “Haven't seen any of the so-called better teams, but I don’t care who wins the state title—just so it’s my Jonny Wooden’s South Bend Cenrals.” ®
Greenwood Waited 19 Years for Title
‘Greenwood fans waited 19 years for a county championship so it was only natural that everyone for whom there was room crowded into the high school basement for the party arranged by Vennis Isom, former coach of the Woodmen.

Zone Defense Hit
Basketball as played today is not exactly what Dr. James Naismith planned when he originated
but he is quite pleased with its
progress as 8 sport. . The T7-year-old director-emeritus of physical education at University of Kansas told metropolitan basketball writers that because of fun~ damental changes in the game “I eel at times as if I would rather ot see basketball,” but *it is wonderful to see how the sport has progressed throughout the world.” Naismith’s No. 1 quarrel with the present-day game was the zone defense system. “I have no sympathy with it,” he said. “The defensive team which lays back and waits for the offense to come to it is stalling. A zone defense does not belong in the game and is a violation of the
=.
ball.” Naismith, who conceived the game while an instructor at the Springfield, Mass, ¥. M. C. A, In 1891, also decried elimination of the center jump. He thought it had slowed up the game rather than accelerated it.

SION OF LEAD
Big Ten Favorites Spurt . To Turn Back Maroons; Eo Await Test With Bucks
Hawkeyes Rally to Defeat South Dakota, 35-30, in Nonleague Fray.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31 (U. P.).—Once more the coolness of Minnesota's veteran ball handlers placed the Gophers in full possession’ of the Big Ten basketball lead exactly at the halfway mark today. It was an unimpressive victory over Chicago, 34 to 27, but it was w all year—the hard way. The often belittled Maroons, who have won only one game in six, led Minnesota's title favorites until mide way through the second period before the steady, sure-fingered Gophers punched -holes in Chicago's zone defense and pulled out their fifth - victory in six Conference games. : It was the second time this season the Gophers had met Chicago and they expected even less trouble than before. But the Maroons, led by bespectacled Joe Stampf, rangy sophomore forward, went ahead at halftime, 17 to 15, and held on until the final 10 minutes. : Consistent scuring by Gordon Ade dington, Johnny = Kundla and Gordon Spear gradually moved the Gophers into the lead as Chicago's attack fell apart under rigid Mine nesota guarding. It was 13 minutes before the .Maroons scored a sece ond-half field goal.
Face Buckeyes Saturday Iowa's fifth place Hawkeyes also rallied in the second half to defeat South Dakota, 35 to 30, in the only other game involving Conference teams. Iowa scored 11 points in the last 12 minutes while” holding its opponent scoreless. Minnesota’s lead may not last long. Saturday night, the Gophers must face Ohio State, currently the highest-scoring team in the league. Minnesota managed to handle Illinois’ two heavy-scorers, Pick Dehner and Bill Hapac, but in Capt. Jimmy Hull of Ohio State they have a different problem. Hull, flow leading the Big Ten scoring parade with 81 points in five games, has been hitting fron
