ICE CHIPS picked up in passing and win is. the National League going to call a halt on raiding the up-and-coming American hockey circuit that is a bitious to rate “big time” in the near future? Fred Thurier and Fred Hunt, the American loop 8 leading scorers, recently were snatched from Springfield
by New York's Americans.
Thurier scored 12 goals and 21 assists and Hunt 15 goals and 14 assists prior to the major club’s raid. ... Latest raid is by New York’s Rangers who are lifting Johnny Polich from Philadelphia. Polich, who has been- been going great for the Ramblers, is of the
rough and ready type, stands 6 feet 114 inches and has 210 pounds -
of beef to win respect on the ice. . . . He is out of Hibbing, Minn., 30d Losuis of Los Angeles where he played a lot of end in college 00 When Tony Grabowski joined New Haven as utility man from the Montreal Canadiens that “w” was in his name . . . now that he’s gone back to Montreal to replace the ailing Ken, Reardon his name is spelled “G-r-a-b-0-s-k-i.” ... Tony wears thick-lensed glasses off theice .-. . but doesn’t wear them while playing . . . he doesn’t like the feel of them strapped to his head. Bert Gardiner, who used to mind the cage for the Philadelphia Ramblers but is now with the Canadiens, has been minding the twine for 16 years . . . yet he is only 26 . . . he started his career in Saskatoon at the age of 10. Since the New Haven Eagles management offered to buy a new hat fora player who turned the “hat trick” of scoring three goals in a game it has had to shell out twice.. . . . George Patterson notched
four in one contest, Earl Roche got himself three the next time out,
Statistics on Feller’s Pull at Gate
* PARMER W. H. FELLER’S boy wonder .of baseball, Rapid Robert, started 37 games on the mound during the American League's 1940 season and drew, at least helped draw, a total of 815,401 h customers, an average of 22,037 fans per game. - The largest single crowd which sab Bob blaze ‘em over the dish turned out at Detroit Sept. 22, when 56,771 rushed the turnstiles at Briggs Stadium. " Baseball fans are well posted-on Feller's pitching achievements, since he led his league in no fewer than seven statistical departments, and it’s interesting to peek at the box office statistics on the days he was marked up to work.

3, 7 Young Reese Gets $3500 Pay Increase
IT IS SAID Pewee Reese’s 1941 contract calls for $7500. . . . That's fair enough. ‘for a second season in the majors and for a 21-year-old. . ... Stove league chatter says the contract calls for an increase of $3500 over 1940 figures. Coming up from Louisville last year the Brooklyn shortstop was beaned early by Claude Passeau of the Cubs and later broke his heel in:a game with the Phillies. . . . The young Kentuckian managed to. make .272 in 84 games and: gained widespread recognition as a future great. At any rate, Brooklyn is satisfied with its bargain in paying Louisville heavy sugar for the infielder.

THE INDIANAPOLIS BALL CLUB “made” the December issue of ‘ Baseball Magazine “for quick changes in team management.” It’s contained in Minor League Oddities, in this fashion: “Clarence Rowland, Chicago Cub scout, thinks he holds a record for seeing quick changes in team management. One day he watched Wes Griffin pilot Indianapolis. Griffin lost his job after the game. Rowland saw Catcher Clyde Crouse, Indianapolis coach, take over
the reins the next day. “Jewel Ens reported in as the new Indian manager for the third game and Rowland witnessed his debit, Three men leading the

Seymour and Greenfield Play Here Tonight
TONIGHT
Seymour at Washington. Tech at Frankfort. Greenfield at Howe. Manual at Plainfield. Broad Ripple at Brownsburg. Park at Bloomington University. . Sacred Heart at Oaklandon.
TOMORROW
Franklin at Tech. Washington at Broad Ripple. Tonight finds every local high school basketball team except Cathedral and Shortridge in action, with most of the competition being
{beyond the city limits.
The chief battle at home will be the Seymour-Washington get-to-gether in the West Side gym, where the Continentals will be seeking their first victory of the season. Seymour has fared almost as bad, but
Jcan boast a triumph over the Bed-
ford Stonecutters. Likely Continental starters will be Carl Peterchef, Donald Cauble, Bud Rogers, Lester Berry and Gerald DeWitt. Tomorrow evening Washington goes to Broad Ripple for the second intra-city contest of the young season. The Rockets, who lost to Howe when the latter threw open its new playhouse, journey to Brownsburg this evening in search of their second victory.
It’s Double Trouble
Tech has a double-dose of murder to contend with in two evenings. Tonight the Greenclads, losers in three North Central affairs, will engage the Frankfort Hot Dogs, who number among their viétims Rossville, Kokomo, Lebanon, Logansport and Gary Horace Mann. Against the only common opponent—Kokomo— Tech lost, 34-26, but Frankfort won, 38-22. Franklin, Tech’s Saturday evening guest, has compiled an impressive eight-game undefeated record, having beaten Cathedral Wednesday. Included in the Grizzly Cubs’ vic-. tory string are four South Central wins. Howe fs at home this evening to, Greenfield, and the Hornets will be out for their fourth victory against a team that has looked good on previous occasions.

Fourth Big Ten Foe Here Tomorrow Night
The Big Bad Wolf, known in polite circles as the Michigan basketball team, will be clawing at Butler's Field |House door tomorrow night;
ready for the kill. Unless our Bulldogs don't want {to play the leading role in Little Red Riding Hood (with a sad ending), they will have to watch their step. The Wolf is literally burning up after having had its nice clean record spoiled by the Notre . Dame ‘boys at South Bend last night. Michigan suffered its first detent in three starts when the Irisii worked around a tight defense with: long shots to Q Joi 37 to 27. Notre

Mandle Is Leader
Although the Wolverines took an early lead, the Irish overcame the handicap and led 21 to 11 at half time. Michigan failed to rally although the Big Ten basketeers sank three baskets in the three minutes before the final gun. Jim Mandler, sophomore center, paced Michigan with 10 points. Meanwhile Coach Tony Hinkle's Fairview cagers are ready for the Wolf to knock and expect to unbar the door, maybe engage in a short exchange of repartee, and then send the menace away howling.
Purdue Takes Its First Trip
With four home victories tucked away, Purdue’s high-scoring basketballers venture away from West Lafayette tonight to meet what ‘is expected to be their strongest com-
petition so for this: season. The Boilermakers play the strong DePaul five at Chicago. The Hoosiers will play without Frosty -Sprowl, their high-scoring forward who is recuperating from a tonsilectomy. Other state college games scheduled are Marietta at Franklin and Manchester at DePauw. DePauw will be after its sixth straight victory tonight after having nosed out a strong Beloit, Wis,, team, 33-32 last night at Green-
astle. A last-half rally won. for .the Tigers last night. DePauw broke a last-minute tie Tuesday night to shade Franklin, 31 to 29. Indiana State scored its first home victory last night by trouncing Marietta, O., 56 to 35. Harold Johnson led the Sycamore scoring with eight baskets and 8 free throw.
Untamed Evansville Bears Break Alices’ Slate As Hammond Tech's Champs Crush Wallace ie
By UNITED PRESS
Two unbeaten high school quintets tumbled from their perch last night and several others put their records on the block tonight in a furious card of hardwood action. Powerful Vincennes, unbeaten in five starts, had the misfortune to run into another toughy in the same southern loop and bowed. It was the Evansville Central Bears, unbeaten in four games and looking for their st victory in history against the Alices on their own floor, who downed the invaders, 25 to 17. The contest was scarcely in doubt after the first quarter. Vincennes took an early 5 to 4 lead, but fell behind at the half, 13 to 5, and never threatened seriously. Paced by Dave Schellhase and Fred Althase, the Bears won handily to settle for the moment the question of which of these two teams was to dominate the southern conference. It’s probably too early to predict a Bear year in the league, but they have yet to cop the conference crown. Hammond Tech's defending state
