20 Fights Expected .To Be Run Off

Clever boxing and potent punching probably will prevail at Butler Fieldhouse Fri= day night if the middleweight Golden Glovers are called upon to get in there and throw leather. The Open class 160-pound division has six eligibles and the Novice seven. Barring illness or injuries and in the event all contenders report, this division will have to see plenty of action in both classes to thin it out to the finals to be fought on Feb. 14.

With Layden himself sitting in,

Their recommendations will be passed on to Notre Dame’s president, the Rev. J. Hugh O'Donnell, who announced he - will pick his man by March 1, in time to complete plans for spring practice. Officially, there was no hint of who would-replace Layden. At least 25 names bobbed up, however, in the ‘first 24 hours after he resigned to become czar of the National Football League under a five-year contract calling for a total salary of $100,000.

Crowley Getting More Now

Shaw, Smith, and Crowley were mentioned most prominently, although Shaw recently signed a new Santa Clara contract and Crowley's salary at Fordham probably will top the $10,000 Notre Dame will offer. The Notre Dame job is the goal of almost every Irish graduate coach at one time or another, but O’'Donnell may have a difficult time filling the vacancy. There were more coaches with reasons for not accepting than those

available for duty.

In addition to coaching, the position demands a shrewd administrator for the office of athletic director since Notre Dame has made “it a policy to center both jobs on one man. One of the chief reasons ILayden was selected by National League owners for the newly created office of commissioner was his expert handling of the business end of his athletic department.

Aces Seek 3d State Victory

Evansville College's basketball Purple Aces go after their third

straight Indiana Conference victory this evening at home against a DePauw team that has won five of six starts in the league. The game is one of three on the docket for state teams, Ball State playing at Manchester in another conference affair and Hanover traveling to Kentucky to meet the hapless Louisville five. Butler University last night registered its fourth straight conference triumph, staying in front of Wabash most of the way to win, 41-35. In the only other conference game Oakland City invaded strong Central Normal and nosed the War-|, riors, 44-43. It was a see-saw game, with the lead changing hands 12

edge at intermission and beat off a late Warrior rally to win.

Irish Subs Frolic

Up at South Bend, Notre Dame hested North Dakota, 46-38, for its eighth straight victory as reserves bore the brunt of action for the Irish. An epidemic of colds kept George Sobek and Frank Quinn, regulars, and Jim Carnes, reserve forward, out of action, but their replacements handled things efficiently. The big noise for the Irish was Art” Pope, junior forward, who canned six field ‘goals in the first half. North Dakota's center, Fred Gran, put in nine points, while Bruce Stevenson, Dakota forward, made seven. After going into an 11-3 lead midway in the first half, the Irish held a 30-16 edge at intermission.

Mosser Regains Lead

Neal Mosser threw in nine field goals and returned to the head of the conference's ‘individual scoring parade at St. Joseph’s defeated Xamier of Cincinnati, 49-36. Mosser now has a total of 214 points, while Wilfred Doerner, Evansville’s hotshot previously in first place, has 198. In other games Olivet avenged an earlief_setback by deafting TriState, 42-36, and Valparaiso coasted to win from’ Elmhurst College, 51-27.

Everybody Has a Candidate for Layden's Job at Notre Dame--and They're Al Good

By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5..— Not since Edward quit the throne of England has an abdication created

as much comment and speculation as the resignation of Elmer Layden as head football coach of Notre Dame. This town is some 2000 miles from South Bend, but Layden’s decision to leave the Fighting Irish for a job as czar of professional football was on al Ithe front pages and everyone's lips. Never was there better proof that Notre Dame, insofar as football is concerned, belongs to the American public. Notre Dame athletic officials might just as well abandon any idea they might have of naming a successor to Hayden who will please all of the self-appointed graduates. I have only talked to 15 or 20 of them since den quit, and yet have heard. half a dozen suggestions. The Buck Shaw brigade will ask you to step out on the sidew alk and settle if you don’t agree that the handsome Santa Clara coach is the only man for the job. The J'mmy Phelan phalanx starts rolling up its collective sleeves when anyone mentions a man other than the Washington cgach, and the Slip Madigan, Marchy Schwartz and Marty Brill jg sehing clubs are just as deter-

m igs debate is going on out here in regard to Western coaches, who by tradition and ability are eligibles for the job, so it must be going on all .over the country. In the Midwest they are probably forming Eddie Anderson clubs, Gust Dorais groups, and Harry Stuhldreher clubs. Down South you can bet that Tom Lieb, Harry Mehre, and Frank Thomas have their backers, and

throughout the~state are expected to participate in the meet.

Champ- Maker ‘Hayes Unveils His New I. U. Squad Saturday

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Feb. 5— Earl C. Hayes, Indiana's track coach, who for the past 31 years has been making chasnpions out of boys with a hankering to run and a willingness to work at it, will unveil his 1941 squad here Saturday in a Big Ten dual meet with Ohio State. Time trials today and Thursday will decide Indiana personnel in those departments where such seasoned veterans as Campbell Kane, Roy Cochran, Archie Harris ' and Wayne Tolliver have not already made Coach Hayes’ entries a certainty. With veterans: lacking in several different events, most of Indiana's time-tested seniors will be forced to “double up” in their best events. Kane has three straight half-mile victories to his credit, and Cochran, in the same number of races, has been invincible in the 600. Harris, Big Ten shot put and discus cham-

pion, made an appearance two weeks |

ago wtih an Indiana mile relay team, which took first place in the K. of C. mile event. Marc Jenkins, who ran with the same team, will be available Saturday in -the short distances and relay events.
