Men to watch: Bill Carter of Pitt, who tied the world's record of 6:01 for the 60-yard dash to win the event here last year; Bob Wright of Ohio State, outstanding in the

James Delaney of Notre Dame, who puts the shot, and Harold Hunt, Nebraska pole vaulter, also will be seeking repeat honors.

Chief Hogsett
This information was flashed
with Miller Owner Mike Kelley and Hogsett himself. “The veteran southpaw accepted terms and said he would report to Manager Gabby Hartneté at the Indians’ Cocoa, Fla., spring training camp Tuesday,” said Schlensker. Hogsett evidently practiced double talk this winter. At any rate, he léd Minneapolis newspapermen to believe his defense job in Minneapolis was worth more in cash than the Millers’ 1942 contract figures. All the while President Mike Kelley kept his silence and then “upped” and sold the veteran hurler to his old pal, Owen J. Bush. The
.|sum of money involved was not
disclosed. Still Good at 38
Take it or leave it, it looks like a splendid purchase by the Indians and gives them a mound staff of
important item in wartime is the fact that Hogsett is 38 years old. And he put in a pretty fair season with the Millers in 1941. As a matter of fact he came within a whisker of pitching a no-hitter, the one safety that wrecked it having been poked out in the ninth. Indianapolis fans, young and old, won’t have any trouble identifying the Chief. He's been around in baseball that long, minors, majors and back to the minors.
Won 18, Lost Nine It’s difficult to unearth a ‘sensible reason for Minneapolis’ move in sellihg Hogsett. He won 18 games against only nine losses last season and was popular with the Nicollet park customers. The guess is that he didn’t like the 1942 contract as outlined by the Miller officials. He may pitch better ball this year in spacious Victory field where the outfielders have plenty of room to gallop. The Minneapolis park is small in comparison and a pitcher has to be careful on every delivery.
A Year for Oldsters
The Indians are now loaded with hurlers of all types, oldsters, youngsters, lefthanders and what have you. The main thing is the fact the new owners rounded up a staff and put cash on the line to assemble one of quality and quantity—and quality this year is bound to be on the aged side, Hogsett starids more than six feet and weighs close to 200 pounds. He uses an easy delivery and has a lot of ability for a big man. His na-

Goldfish Get Into Swim Meet—Lose
PRINCETON, March 13. —Perhaps it was shame or awe or just the physical beating they took in the swirling waters of the Princeton pool. At any event, an indeterminable number of goldfish, which took an unexpected bath in the natatorium the day of the Yale-Princeton swimming meet, were on the verge of collapse after the water had been whipped into suds for more than two hours. A prankster dumped a school of live fish into the pool. They had the best seats in the house for the meet between two undefeated teams, but were tossed around by rough seas. Yale won, 45-30. -
