. Pitt Gets Its First Taste

SPORTS...

By Eddie Ash

CHIPS OFF the old ice. . . . Rookie makes good on trial in big show. . .. Although he was called up from Springfield of the International-American League merely as a substitute for the injured Al Murray, it now appears that Charles (Chuck) Shannon has won himself a permanent job with the New York Americans of the National loop. The lone bespectacled player in league hockey, Shannon, a defenseman, celebrated his big-time debut at Madison Square Garden, New York, the other night and gave a bangup performance. . . . He helped the Americans to a 4-to-0 victory over the Chicago Black Hawks. . . . and regardless of visional handicaps, proved himself ready to trade body checks with any major leaguer. Manager Red Dutton of the Americans was elated at Shannon's showing and indicated that the 24-year-old rookie would be given an opportunity to clinch his position. + « « The big test, of course, will be in the hot spots on the road.

Shatter-Proof Glasses Offer Protection

JUST LIKE baseball when a rookie advances to the majors. . They want to know how he'll stand up under fire in enemy territory. Shannon, who spent three years in Syracuse before the Americans signed him last summer and shifted him to Springfield, is a brother of Jerry Shannon, former Boston player. . . . Chunky and well muscled, he wears special shatter-proof glasses that he straps to the side of his head with adhesive tape. “I can't see any distance at all without them.” he explained, They're bothersome at times, but they're also fine protection. I'd have lost an eye once if they hadn't been there to stop the end of a stick. What's more they only splintered and didn't shatter.”

A TEMPEST is raging in Knoxville, . . . Tennessee athletic associa= tion authorities slighted the student band and 14 Vol substitute gridders in the first announcement of the arrangements for the trip to the Rose Bowl. The entire State of Tennessee is upset over the situation and protests are rolling in by phone and wire. . . . Governor Prentice Cooper was bombarded by messages and he sidestepped the issue by tossing it back to the university. While the subs left off the list going West did not sce action in games this year they were out there every day taking a beating at the hands of the regulars in scrimmage. The.buck passing has become terrific and the alumni is organizing B Siive to get the bandsmen and subs on that Volunteer football special.

Cheap Yearlings Come Through on Turf STANDOUT BARGAINS of the 1938 running horse yearling sales

were Andy K, Roman Flag and Rough Pass. . . . Each was purchased for the proverbial song and in this, their first year of racing, each

went on to make his mark in competition along with amassing con- .

siderable earnings. TAKE ANDY K for instance. . .. This bay son of Jack High-Alice Foster was sold at Saratoga for $4500 to Millsdale Stable, owned jointly by G. L. Emerick and Anthony Pelletri, . , . He started nine times to win two races, finish second twice and third twice for gleanings of $43,360. He won two other races, including the U. S. Hotel Stakes at Saratoga, but was disqualified out of both of them for bearing out. . . . Only Bimelech, with $135,090, won more money than Andy K in the 2-year-cld division. nn = » 8» THAT ANDY K was one of the top-sawyers will not be disputed.

Bulldogs in Search of 2d Victory

Carlson Bringing Veteran Squad to Town; Hinkle To Start Same Boys.

The Pitt Panthers will get their first taste of Indiana ice cream this evening, but before that, Butler is going to serve them up their first helping of Hoosier basketball. It's hard to estimate when H. C. (Doc) Carlson, coach, author and dietitian, will get around to opening the freezers, which he does after every Panther practice and game, Coach Tony Hinkle’s boys, however, will bring on the basketball at 8:15 p. m. on the Fieldhouse floor, And nothing would satisfy Headwaiter Hinkle and his staff more than to stuff plays, blocks and goals down the Panthers’ throats until the visitors yell “enough.”

Victory String on Block For one thing, the Bulldogs have a yen to get through this season un=defeated. Then there's that string of Butler basketball victories — 10 straight—a record to pride and preserve. Butler also would like to add another to the four victories it already holds over the Panthers, but the same goes for the Smoky City visitors who also hold four victories over the locals. . It will be a veteran squad that Carlson brings into the fieldhouse. What is likely to be his starting five has lined up with Eddie Ziol=kowski, rangy southpaw sophomore, and Eddie Straloski, second high scorer last year as a sophomore, at forwards; redheaded Mel Port at center, and Sammy Milanovich, junior pepper-pot, and George Kochoran, stocky junior, at guards.

This One Is Tough, Too

Carlson has another combination however, that's said to be just as strong. In this are Jimmy Klein and Charley Ptacok, forwards; John Pataky, center, and Bob Johnson and Jack Scherer, guards.

Deacon Figures In Detroit’s Tie

By UNITED PRESS The Boston Bruins and the Toronte Maple Leafs were in a first place tie in the National League hockey race today after battling to a 1-1 overtime tie last night. Boston led until the third period when Toronto's Svl Apps scored at 3:59 to match Woody Dumart’s first-period score. A pair of overtime goals by Louis Trudel and Charlie Sands gave the Montreal Canadiens a 5-3 win over the New York Americans. The Canadiens pushed in three goals in the first period but scores by Murray Armstrong and Nels Stewart tied it up in the third. Detroit's Red Wings pulled out of the cellar with a 2-2 overtime deadlock with the New York Rangers. The Red Wings came from behind in the third period to tie the score on goals by Don Deacon, formerly with Indianapolis, and Goodfellow.

Olivera Guns for Pace’s Ring Title

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15 (U. P.). ~—Tony Olivera, a North Beach boy from the district that gave the DiMaggio hrothers to the baseball world, held the National Boxing Association’'s bantamweight titl> today and was gunning for the world title of Georgie Pace of Cleveland. Olivera pounded out a 10-round decision over Lou Salica, the Brookivn veteran, in the main event of the Chronicle’s Christmas fund show here last night, and reversed a decision Salica had gained recently in Hollywood. The San Francisco lad won six rounds with his twohanded attack, but was dazed early in the ninth by a terrific right cross. He came back, however, to give Salica a sound body beating. Salica took only two rounds in the opinion of Referee Toby Irwin, and the other two were even. Olivera weighed 118 pounds, Salica 117%.
