Al Schlensher OnJobinCold
Al Schlensker, new secretary of the Indianapolis Indians baseball club, went to work yesterday on one of the coldest days of the winter, And if you want to get technical about it, you could say it was the coldest day of the year. He plunged right in to a lot of work that had piled up. One of the things he had to do was answer a lot of congratulatory mail that hadn't been got around to yet. There were letters from old-timers who wanted to work for the Indians. There were letters to be written to baseball figures wishing them good luck for the 1942 baseball season. Then he took his own secretary Miss Edna Hickey, on a tour of the stadium. She hadn't been out there before. He introduced her to the grandstand and the box seats. And even to the pitching mound-—al-though there were hopes she would never need to be used in that capacity. As they went around, Miss Hickey made notes of things that would have to be done. The seats need to be painted--Al wondered how many gallons of paint that would take. And the grounds need a shave and a hair cu.

McAtee at left wing in one line; Jack Keating at left, Les Douglas at center, and McReavy at right wing in another, and the veteran Hee Kilrea at left, Jerry Brown at center and Roy Sawyer at right In the third. “Sawyer has been coming along fine in recent games,’ Herbie said. “Of course, Jerry is fast as lightning and I think Hec can do wonders working with our two youngsters.” Lewis said mixing his lines in this way would make it difficult for Hershey to switch around and put a strong line in against a defensively weak Caps outfit.

Two Questions About Sailors
Two questions have been asked about the Great Lakes Naval Train-
ing Station five. One of them is: Will the boys have to fight sometime? The other one is: Which came
first, the idea of a Great Lakes basketball team, or the boys’ enlistment? The answer to both questions came yesterday from Lieut. J. Russell Cook, who is traveling with them on their current jaunt, and who was former coach of the Central Normal five they beat last night. Said Lieut. Cook: “These boys are following regular Navy routine, They are training to be petty officers. Actually, while at Great Lakes each follows a particular petty officer around, learning to do what he does. “When the basketball player learns that job, the petty officer he has been following is released to active duty. The basketball player will then become a petty officer, to do recruiting work, or conceivably, go on active duty. They will go where the Navy goes.”
‘We Looked Around’
Answering the second question, Lieut. Cook put it this way: “During the last war, there were great teams at Great Lakes. Great football teams, great basketball teams and baseball and track. Nat. |urally, we wanted to have the same {thing this time. “We thought of a basketball team. We looked around. The boys were there.” The Great Lakes team is traveling the Midwest exclusively. They've made two trips before this one through the hinterlands. There's a reason for staying in the Midwest. All proceeds of games go to the Navy Relief Fund. The money in this fund serves the welfare of all Navy personnel in the Ninth Navy District. According to officers accompanying the team on this trip, 35 per cent of all Navy personnel comes from the If there are to be cas-

He will probably start Woody Norris and Wilbur Schumacher at forwards, Glen Miller at center, and Fred Hunckler and Ernie Tidrow at guards. This is the same combination that started against Michigan Monday night and against the Beavers Thursday, although Tidrow went out of the game almost immediately Thursday, supposedly because he was having trouble guarding the big boys. The Great Lakes team doesh’t approach the Oregon State squad in height, but is plenty tall. Both Norris and Miller, who have been having trouble with fouling out, are expected fo be very careful tonight. This care may lead to some opening for the Middies. And an opening for this team means two points more often than not. The Hoosiers to watch for on the Great Lakes team are: Forrest Anderson, Gary, of Stanford; Ernie Andres, Jeffersonville, I. U.; Bill Menke, Huntingburg, of I. U, and Johnny Lobsiger, Gary, of Missouri.

Stars in a game helping to fill the coffers of the Naval Relief Society. Originally scheduled for Los An=geles but transferred because of the war, the contest will be the first January football game ever played in New York and may well mark the farewell appearance of the remarkable Chicago aggregation. : With the demand for military manpower growing each day, Halas has said he expects to lose from 10 to 15 of his current squad and this, combined with the lean pickings from the 1941 collegiate draft—for the same military reasons—will trim the Chicago juggernaut down to beatable size. Halas scheduled the Bears’ final workout for this morning. “You know,” he said, “despite all the superlatives heaped on our club by the experts, we are going to be pretty hard-pressed by those All-Stars. “You can’t forget that they have the best pass-receiver in the business in Don Hutson and in Sammy Baugh and Ceei] Isbell, two of the league's crackerjack tossers.”
