Eight Cylinders Nuvolari, heralded as Europe's most daring and successful driver before the war, will be at the wheel of a powerful 183 cubic inch, eightcylinder mount, The other two cars are powered by four cylinder, 91 cubic inch engines. Although Villoresi has never driven in the United States, Nuvolari created a sensation in Amerfea in 1936 when he won the inaugural 300-mile George Vanderbilt cup classis on the Roosevelt Raceway, driving an Alfa Romeo. Because of that victory, he earned fifth place on the 1936 National championship standing. Here in 1938 Nuvolari was in Indianapolis for the 1638 classic but did not start. His Alfa Romeo car did not arrive because of shipping difficulties and an American car he was to pilot developed mechanical trouble. Because of his phenomenal luck, the Italian ace often has been referred to as “the man who has a contract with the devil.”

Stephens’ switch, from an American leaguer to a Mexican hero, came quick. He jumped the St. Louis Browns Saturday, signing a three-year contract with the Mexican league for a new high of $20,000 a year, and joined his new teammates yesterday. In addition to his game-winning single, a sharp drive to left field, he fielded flawlessly, starting two double plays. Other Stars Two other former major leaguers figured prominently in the Veracruz triumph. Roberto Estalella, exPhiladelphia Athletic player, made his fourth home run in as many games while Danny Gardella, former New York Giant outfielder,

singled home the tying run in the ninth before Stephens came to bat. Interviewed at the home of Jorge Pasquel, Mexican league president, Stephens said he was “very happy and regardless of what they say in St. Louis, I believe a player has the right to accept the best offer.” Stephens, one of the American league's top wartime hitters and the/sparkplug of the Browns’ American league championship team in 1944, faces a five-year suspension from organized baseball for jumping to a so-called outlaw league.

Big Ten Grid Squads Start Spring Drills

By TOMMY DEVINE United Press Sports Writer - CHICAGO, April 1.—A football “night mare” jolted the winterlong calm of western conference football coaches: today as spring practice opened. Record-breaking squads were scheduled to greet most of the mentors.as six weeks of drilling started to lay the groundwork for the hectic 1946 season. The championship Indiana team, runner-up Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa and Minnesota were slated for their inaugural drills today. They join three early starters, Wisconsin, Illinois and Purdue, By nightfall every conference team, excepting Northwestern, will be conducting grid sessions, The Purples open work Wednesday. For coaches who worried through the war-time seasons as to whether sufficient talent would be on hand to play the schedule, the registrations for the spring sessions are a! revelation. |

CHARLOTTE, N.

178 candidates, with Ray Eliot at Illinois working with 167 at Illinois and 116 going through their paces under Harry Stuhldreher’s direction at Wisconsin. Fritz Crisler is expecting a turnout of between 150 and 175 gridders at Michigan and Paul Bixler likely will have 125 candidates at Ohio State as he prepares for his debut as a aead coach, “Bo” McMillin, whose Indiana] team went through an unbeaten! campaign in 1945 to give the Hoosiers their first conference crown, is looking for ‘85 candidates to report, while Iowa and Minnesota | likely will have turnouts of approximately the same size. Northwestern probably will have the smallest squad of any conference squad. Lynn Waldorf forecasts his roster will list between 60 and 75 gridders.

Backlog of Talent

The big squads are traceable to the backlog of talent that was built up during the war years.
