The old fox of Indiana basketball has ‘em worried. ‘ Yes sir, Everett Case is certainly a hot topic of conversation as state final tournament of Indiana basketball draws near. ‘ Saturday will tell the story. For then, the famous Frankfort coach

And they have one of the rarest of season records—one defeat only in 29 games. Then why worry about Frankfort? They've lost seven games. And where have they been all season?

Ask the Old-Timers

Well, the old-timers can tell you. Old Everett never did cotton much to shooting the works during the season. Build ’em slowly, he’s taught. Build ’em right. Then when tournament time comes along, pat ‘em on the back and say: “Let's go, gang.” Well, it happened. Lafayette. Beaten by Frankfort. Horace Mann. Beaten by Frankfort. Now they're up In the big four once again. They've been up 14 times—and four times they've walked off with that precious trophy.

Pasha Extends Winning String

Ali Pasha, the bearded Hindu with the “sleeper” hold continued his local victory parade at the armory last night, defeating The

Great Mephisto in the feature match. Pasha captured the first and third falls from his Newark, N. J, junior heavyweight rival. The loser was winner of the second heat in 10 minutes with a wrist lock and grapevine grip. Chief Little Wolf went on “warpath” against Warren Bockwinkle, young St. Louis, Mo., heavyweight, downing the man from the “showme” state in 14 minutes. The chief used an “Indian deathlock” hold to turn the trick. In the opening bout, Jack Hill, Springfield, Mo., heavyweight, pinned Vic Holbrook, of. Boston, with a body slam and press

By JOE WILLIAMS ' SARASOTA, Fla, March 18.— Sergt. Hank Greenberg had a two‘day leave so he came over here and worked out with Boston Red Sox. He played at first and third and in the outfield. He tried to hit a ball out of the park. He couldn't. rl But whether he could or couldn’t isn’t the point. If's the sergeant I want to talk about—not Hams mering Hank. yd We came across him sitting in the grill room of one of the local hotels. Three more hours and he had to report back to camp,, He was sitting at a table with Billy Sullivan, a catcher who has just been signed by the Brooklyns. What do you think is the first thing he says to us? “Joe, this is a great kid and great catcher. Do all you can to help him. He has a great wife and two great kids.” The most popular word with ball’ players “great.” ; o f J

NOW SULLIVAN is just an-

Sullivan. Know all about his dad .who caught for the old White Sox, know all about his career as a standout athlete at Notre Dame; know, too, that he isn’t altogether a world beater; he’s the guy you use when the first stringer is hurt. But there must always be that type of guy in any sport or any business, “It seems that’s always so. Just as a guess we'd say Sullivan never made more than $15,000 a year and that's unquestionably putting it high. And so we find Sergt. Greenberg sitting around a table down here—a fellow who had a $45,000 a year contract taken away from him and in return for which he got a $21 a month contract—and he’s trying to build up Sullivan to us. “Billy and myself were together on the Detroit team,” the sergeant went on. “I know he can help Brooklyn a lot. You know Larry MacPhail well, Go and tell him to give this guy a real chance.” WE » » SO BASEBALL was still uppermost in the sergeant’s mind, we thought. It turned out it isn’t.

Sergt. Greenberg. . . .

“I'm through with baseball,” he corrected. “There’s no chance for me to get back in the big leagues. I'm through. I was called up last May. I'm a big fellow (the sergeant is 6 feet 4, and weighs plenty) and I'm not kidding myself about this war, I'm going to be in a long time. Four or five years maybe. “That's something else you can do for me and everybody else in the service. Keep on writing that this is going to be a tough war, a hard war and a long war. What I'm going to do when I come out I don’t know. Don't care very Joel = the moment. But I ow I'm through as G the ball player. Soatibers

He’s a great guy, too. ONE THING I do know: going to be a better citizen than I ever was. For some reason I never gave that much thought before. Now I'm giving it a lot of thought. It's so much more important than driving in runs and winning pennants. : “It’s the real big league—the big league of living. There aren't many things about war that are nice; but there is one thing about war that is nice—it starts you to thinking and thinking seriously about the only things that matter, “Your country, your home life ung all the people you are close Sergt.
