The fact is that when the magnates arrived in Cincinnati they Were told quietly that Greenberg would not be traded.

Nevertheless, it is conceivable tha

be used in an effort to force Hank to take a salary cut of $10,000. . . . Last season Greenberg was reported to have received $35,000, the high

It is to Detroit's advantage to trade with a second division club, but it is silyy to ask the Tigers to give up Rudy for a player who is ajust a fair infielder and who was ill for a good part of the 1939 season.

Butler F Five Steamed Up For Combat

Tall lowa Boys May Force Hinklemen to Step at Fast Pace Tonight.

Still smoking from their 47 to 36 victory against Pittsburgh last Fri night, the undefeated Butler Bulldogs are all steamed up to meet

fowa at 8:15 tonight on the Fieldhouse hardwood court. Carrying over their finish of the last year, the local Blue and White quintet will be seeking to extend its victory string to 11 consecutive triumphs. Their first victory this year was over Ball State. Tonight's battle will conclude a two-game tour of Michigan and Intana for Towa, which lost its first game Saturday to Wayne University, 3¢ to 30. Prior to Wayne the Hawkeyes had marched over Carleton College, Millikin College and the | University of Denver,

Prasse With Hawks

Coach Rollie Williams is determined to place his Hawkeyes in the first division of the Western Conference and maintain that “Iron Man” legend built up by the school’s recent gridiron squad. Erwin | Prasse, senior guard, is the lone) outstanding member of the foutball |

eleven playing regularly on the bas-| §

ketball squad. Prasse was an all-| conference end this season.

With a starting five that will aver- | &

age more than six fet, the Iowans have a better than even chance of knocking the Bulldogs from the un- | defeated rank. Tonight will be the fifth meet. ing of the two ball clubs and the rubber contest of the series. Butler took last season’s game, 31 to 29.

No Lineup Changes

Coach Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle worked his squad only once during the week-end, holding a light drill Saturday afternoon. He indicated that he would start the same five as in the past two games. Missing in the Iowa lineup will be Ben Stephens, who is Iowa's alltime record holder. He was graduated last spring. Because of his great defensive

ability, Prasse probably will be as. | victory over Springfield as the antisigned to guard Bob Dietz, junior dote for the bitter taste his Indian- |

forward, who rang the bell for 15) points against Pittsburgh last Fri-| day

Nong with Prasse, past captain of | the football squad, will be Dick Evans, another lanky player. Prasse stands 6 feet 2 inches; Evans 6 feet! 3 inches. Butler reserve and freshman | teams will meet at 7 o'clock tonight | in a preliminary contest. Probable lineups for the varsity!

High School Ne: Streaks Threatened

Muncie Burris and Milroy, Consistent Winners, Face Rough Going.

By UNITED PRESS Indiana's longest high school hardwood winning streaks, held by a top flight school which has won eight in a row and a little county outfit that has captured nine, appear greatly endangered this week by the luck of the draw that throws them against first-class opposition. Muncie Burris, the top flight five with eight straight triumphs, has only one game, but that is Wednesday against Ft. Wayne South, the Archers who two years ago rolled north with the state championship. Now the Archers boast a four-game victory string of their own — and against opposition much tougher than that of Burris,

Two for South Side

South Side returned home yesterday after ending Crawfordsville's four-game string, 39 to 23, on the Athenians’ court, and also after sinking the Vincennes Alices, 24 to 20, on the Vincennes floor. They meet Burris at home and are likely to force the Muncie five to show everything they've got to win. Milroy—the little team—has won its nine contests against county opposition. Thursday it must meet Batesville of the Southeastern Conference, a team that has won six out of nine games, and has lost two of the other three by one and two points. Conference games are slack, but in inter-Conference and non-Con-ference battles, there are several outstanding clashes. Tomorrow, Gary Horace Mann goes to Frankfort and Valparaiso to La Porte, while Wednesday Jeffersonville travels to Elkhart and Logansport.

Bloomington vs. Martinsville

Friday's non-Conference scraps include Bedford at Logansport, Bloomington at Martinsville, Columbus at South Bend Central, Terre Haute Garfield at Crawfordsville, Washington at Jasper, Rushville at Jeffersonville, Mishawaka at Muncie Central, New Castle at Shelbyville and Sheridan at Tipton. On Saturday's list are Ft. Wayne South at Gary Horace Mann and Shortridge at Technical, always a dog-eat-dog struggle no matter what their relative strength may

Sam Snead Delivers in

Tight Spot

Comes From Behind to Win Miami Open as Nelson Blows Up.

By H. J. ARONSTAM United Press Staff Correspondent

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 18.—Sam Snead, long driving West Virginian, had a $2500 check for his victory in the Miami Open ‘golf tournament and a full measure of sweet satis faction today.

By coming from behind with a brilliant six-under-par 64 yesterday, Snead served vigorous notice on his fellow pros that he could stand the going at its roughest.

There had been some doubt about that since thé afternoon last summer at the Philadelphia Country Club when he took an eight on the 18th hole to hand the National Open crown to Byron Nelson.

It was the reverse yesterday, for it was Nelson who blew up after leading for three rounds. However, defending Champion Harold (Jug) McSpaden hung up a 273 for Snead to shoot at and Sam needed a 66 for a tie.

Booming Tee Shots

There was little doubt after Snead’s 31 on the front nine that he would go on to win. Time after time he electrified a howling gale lery of 2500 with booming tee shots, approaches that were dead to the pin and putts that never failed to drop. He had two brief lapses when he took bogeys on the fourth and 14th, but he more than made up for them with an eagle two at the sixth, where he canned a 75-yard approach shot, and six birdies. He breezed in with a 33 to tie the course record. Snead put together rounds of 68, 72, 67 and 64 for his nine-undere par total of 271. McSpaden played golf that ordinarily should have been good enough to win. He finished with a 36-31—67 for a 72-hole total of 273, two strokes better than his winning 275 last year, but all it was good for this time was the $1250 secon-place purse,

Hoosier Golfer Third

A couple of youngsters were next in line. Bud Williamson, a lanky lad from Ft. Wayne, Ind., turned in his second 66 in a row to take the $1000 third prize with a 276. Ben Hogan of White Plains, N. Y., had a 68 for 277 that earned him $750,
