INDIANAPOLIS was shoved into second place in the ice loop last night when Hershey and Springfield staged an overtime tie. . . . Hershey gained a point and is now undisputed Western Division leader, 25 points to 24 for Indianapolis.

DePauw Loses First Game to Franklin Five Score Is 40 to 39; Free Throws Count
Franklin beat DePauw, 40 to 39; Indiana State Teachers College drubbed Oakland City College, 74 to 18, and Taylor University won over Central Normal, 45 to 31, in Indiana College Conference basketball last night. Tri-State College beat Olivet at Angola, 468 to 29, after holding a half-time margin of 23 to 19. If DePauw had been a little more careful, or a little luckier, last night they might not have lost. The difference was in free throws, with DePauw getting 11 in 19 tries, while Franklin got 16 out of 22. It was DePauw's first loss in four
starts, and Franklin's second win in five starts.
In Front all the Way
The Grizzlies were in front during almost all the game, DePauw got away to an early 4 to 2 lead but Grefe’s field goal tied the count and then Franklin went ahead on a free throw by Guinnup. Franklin was ahead at the half, 21 to 17. With 10 minutes left to play there were still ahead, 33 to 28, when Hendrix, their leading scorer, was forced from the game on personal fouls. Duncan went out on fouls for Franklin with eight minutes left in the game and the local team led, 37 to 33. Then Grefe went out with two and a half minutes to go and DePauw had closed in. Franklin led, 40 to 37. A long shot by Thatcher, DePauw guard, put the score at 40 to 39 with a minute and a half to go, but Franklin went on a tight defensive.
Refuse Free Throws
They refused four free throw chances and retained their narrow margin to the gun. Indiana State Teachers showed its defensive strength by holding Oakland City College scoreless the first eight minutes of each half. They poured points on the Oaks, with Fred Stelow and Bob Buscher scoring 21 and 16 points, respectively. Fred Cato had nine points to lead the losers. Taylor University had its fourth victory in five games, triumphing for the first time in history over Central Normal. The winners led at half time, 21 to 16. They were paced by Don Odle, their star forward, who scored eight field goals and three free throws for 19 points.
Roche Wins in
Straight Falls
Dorv Roche, Decatur, Ill, heavyweight, was a winner over Carlos Rodriques, Spanish greppler, and The Great Mephisto, of ‘Newark, N. J, a junior heavy, won over Jules (Speedy) LaRance, FrenchCanadian, in double feature clashes on the weekly wrestling card staged at the Armory last night. Roche won in straight falls from Rodriques, taking the first in nine minutes with a leg full nelson and capturing the second in 13 minutes with his “octopus hold.” LaRance and Mephisto had split the first two falls of their tussle when the latter gained the deciding session in seven minutes with a body press and smother. He also won the first canto in 12 minutes with a leg bar, but LaRance squared the match by pinning the Newark mystery man with a flying head scissors in 13 minutes. Ray Villmer, voung St. Louis star, used a head lock to take the opener over Ede Virag, of Chicago, in a fracas which lasted 14 minutes,

Came fo Life Last Week-End
Overnight the Manual Redskins have become a ball club to be reckoned with in City basketball The boys of Coach Otto Bridgford started the season by losing to Franklin Township and Southport. But last week-end the South Side lads came to life. On successive nights they rolled over surQrised Broad Ripple and Ben Davis ves. If the Redskins are going to have a winner then it appears this is the year. Seven out of the first eight are seniors. Although only two lettermen returned this season the squad is very big with close to a six-foot average. Add to this Don Bleettner, a 6-foot-4-inch boy wh» will be back in the lineup around Christmas. Bleettner suffered a broken arm in the season's opener. This is Coach Bridgford's 14th year at Manual. Frank Thomas is his assistant. He is well pleased with his 1842 edition. ‘They are a better balanced scoring team than last year when Joe Nahamias carried the goal-get-

Pledges Great Teams at I. U.
Coach Alvin (Bo) McMillin promised great teams at Indiana University last night “if the war situation will leave us alone.” He spoke at a banquet given by the Indiana University Club of Indianapolis at the Indianapolis Athletic Club, at which seniors from Indianapolis high schools were honored. He said he'd have a team that could beat Minnesota and that they'd put so many I's on the Old Oaken Bucket chain not a man on the squad would be able to carry it. McMillin was promised co-opers ation and support from alumni represented by Louis Armstrong of Elkhart, Indiana Alumni Association president, and Robert M. Loomis, Indiana University Club of Indianapolis president. Principal speaker was Burt Ingwersen, assistant coach at Northwestern University, who called for a greater appreciation of the high type of sportsmanship shown on the football field.

Manual plays most of their games away from home since gym fi ties at the South Side school are not suitable to big crowds. The starting combination which romped to the double victory last week end is Billy Arnold, senior letterman at center; Morris Bernstein, senior forward; Bernard MecIntosh, junior forward, and Bob Baker and Don Strietelmier, senior guards. The other returning letterman is Billy Arnold. Next in line is Speedway at the Lions’ home Friday night. (B. F.)

Brown Uses Crisler
- Plays to Tie Him
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Dec. 10.—<In view of the 20-20 tie between Michigan and Ohio State, Fritz Crisler believes the roles of teacher and pupil should be reversed at his football school next summer. Paul Brown, making his bow at Ohlo State, brought his entire staff to Northwestern, where Crisler and Lynn Waldorf were instructing. “At dawn, almost,” says Coach Crisler, “Brown and his assistants were in the classroom with notebooks and pencils. So I decided to give them, among other things, a few plays I tried at Michigan without success. The Ohio State bunch took them all down. You can imagine how I felt when Brown brought some of these plays to Ann Arbor and really made them work.”
Painter Play Good Game of Squash
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—<It was surprising, under the circumstances, that Germain G. Glidden went to the final of the gold racquet squash racquets tournament of the Rockaway Hunting Club, where he lost a beautifully played five-game match to Don Frame, also of the Harvard Club. Glidden entered without adequate competition. The threetime winner of the national championship has become one of the more successful young portrait painters since he gave up squash racquets competition two years ago.

Bill Werber Is Bought From Reds by Giants
Lefty Grove Retires; Feller to Navy
By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Bill
Terry, new front office man
| for the New York Giants, con=
tinued his drive to give fieldmanager Mel Ott “something
more than wé’ve had to work with the last few years” by purchasing third baseman Bill Werber from the Cincinnati Reds to plug an infield weakness of eight years standing. Just as the Giants dominated the minor league meetings with reacquisition of Outfielder Hank Leiber from the Chicago Cubs, they held the center of trading interest as the major league sessions moved into the second day. In 1039, Werber proved pennant insurance -for the Reds with his fancy fleldigg and timely hitting. Reaching the Reds after six seasons in the American League with New York, Boston and Philadelphia, the 33-year-old star hit .280 and 277 in the Reds’ two pennant years. He was out early last season with a bad leg, but played in 109 games, hitting .239. With Werber at third, the Giants have their best infield since Freddy Lindstrom faded from New York in 1933. There may be further improvements for Terry is among the bidders for Johnny Mize, slugging first baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals, Dodgers Get Mize?
The Brooklyn Dodgers, who were attempting to seli Dolf Camilli to the New York Yankees, also were in the spirited bidding for Mize. One report had Mize already on his way to the Dodgers, but officials of both clubs denied it. “Mize hasn't been sold to any one yet,” said President Sam Breadon of the Cardinals, “The Dodgers are dickering for him but so are some other clubs.” John McDonald, Brooklyn traveling secretary, also denied the report. Cincinnati, however, now has a definite risk at third base. Although Manager Bill McKechnie is betting on Bert Haas, a rookie recently acquired from Columbus, he has only one other choice if Haas fails to make the grade. The alternate is Chuck Aleno, a .241 hitter last season. Grove Retires
Two of baseball's greatest pitchers —past and present-—bowed out of baseball yesterday, At his own request, 41-year-old Robert Moses (Lefty) Grove was gvien‘his unconditional release by the Boston Red Sox and Bob Feller, the Cleveland fireballer, applied for enlistment in the Navy. Grove won exactly 300 games in his 16 seasons with Philadelphia and Boston. In six seasons, Feller won 107 and lost 54. Feller passed his physical examination at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station and after a brief business trip to his home at Van Meter, Ia, he expects to leave for training at Norfolk, Va. The 23-year old right-hander expects to become a $125.-a-month Chief Boatswain's Mate under the direction of Lt. Commander Gene Tunney. Cleveland paid him $46,000 last year. Club officinls of both leagues planned to discuss night baseball
lat their second session today. Those
plans range from possible elimination by wartime blackouts to a fivenight week proposal to accommodate defense workers. The five-niter is the pet of Washington's Clark Griffith.
Dodgers Buy Rizzo
The Philadelphia Phillies announced the sale of Outfielder Johnny Rizzo to Brooklyn for an unannounced sum and sale of Emmett Mueller, utility infielder and outfielder, to Montreal, a Brooklyn farm. The Dodgers continued to lead the morning trading with outright purchase of Outfielder Don Padgett from the St. Louis Cardinals and sold Pitcher Mace Brown to Montreal. Brown said he wouldn't go to Montreal and the Red Sox bought him. Padgett, who has played outfield, first base and catcher for the Cardinals, had excellent hitting years in 1937 and 1939, The last two years, however, he dropped under .250, He is 28 and single.

Both Powerful at The Plate
Times Special
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—
[Power at the plate and good ‘| fielding were added to the
new Indianapolis Indians to day with the announcement that Morrie Arnovich and Joe Moore, both outfielders, had
been purchased.
The Indians’ new manager, Gabby Hartnett, made the announcement, Moore has been a star gardener with the Giants for years, Last
f | year ‘he was in 122 games, batted
273 and made 117 hits, good for 158 bases. Arnovich was in 84 games for the Giants last year. He batted .279 and got 58 hits for 78 bases. Hartnett coached and caught for the Giants last year and knows both men well,
An Outfield
Purchase of the pair rounded out some pretty active trading by the Indians since they were bought by, Owen J. Bush and Frank E. Mce Kinney from Norman Perry, owner for 13 years. It makes a pretty good country ball team in the outfield, with Jake Powell the other fielder bought fromy the Dodgers a couple of days ago. The major league sessions close today and Bush and Hartnett kept on the jump in the hotel lobbies buttonholing club owners and man= agers in an effort to swing deals before the delegates depart Chicagg tonight. President Bush has his eyes set on a coach who can step into the lineup occasionally as well as pinch hit. In other words, Bush believes a player-coach will be more value able to the team than just a plain handy man. In the player department, Bush ia dead set on landing a first sacker, a pitcher and an infielder to add to the 23 players already on the Hoose ier roster, consisting of 17 leftovers from 1941 and six new pastimers purchased. Weak at First The Indians were weak at first base all through the 1941 American Association campaign. Joe Mack is the lone regular first sacker on the roster but he was weak at bat in Indianapolis’ spacious park. Milton Galatzer, veteran outfield= er, played part-time first base last season, but he is not suited to i% and prefers the pasture,
