OTHER POST TO CENTRAL Bud French, the Leading Scorer of League, Is Given a For= ward Position, Ramsey Is Paired With Blue Eagle Star—Bounds, Viking Ace, Gets Call at Center. SECOND FIVE CHOSEN Little Dick Soper of Champions Is a Forward on Team—Two Berths to Manual. Five boys averaging slightly over 6 feet who excel on defense com- pose the 1942 Interscho- lastic league basketball all-stars announced today following seven weeks of court activity that ended with the undefeated Northeast Vikings suc- ceeding Westport as champions. Northeast and East, the second place winner, each placed two on the cape: with Bud French of Central, the league’s \individyal scoring star, repeating iy a forward position. he/ team, with French showhyg the way, has sufficient pointsnaking power and would be ‘double tough when the foe moves in with the ball. Running with French at forward js East’s Herbie Ramsey while the 6-foot 3-inch Ken Bcunds, North- east’s 195-pounder, gets. the call at center. The guards, Bill Whaley of East and Ken Bass of Northeast, are considered two of the best defense- men to appear in league play in sev- eral seasons. All are seniors except Whaley. Two Manual Boys on Second 'feam Manual ended the campaign in a third-place tie with Central ancy .placed Rus Dethlefsen at forward and Lewis DeLuna at guard on\ tne second five. With Dethlefse! : at forward is the boy many hail as the most valuable on the Northeast squad, little Dick Soper. Central’s Buck Cramer roams at the pivot position and Bill Huggins, South- west’s fiery. guard, teams with DeLuna. : : French tallied sixty- fouy points in the 7-game schedule nee 14 aver- age to take mcay Aug hovors. While earning a first \team betth for the second consecutive season, French played brilliantly mates who appeared reluctant £0 SS the ball in a manner befitting a geod team. When Central clicked it was \potent but the tendency to shoot from any angle was prevalent. Ramsey was the East center and his presence on the first five likely will be viewed with alarm.by those who hold that a forward must be a terrific scorer in order to be a good one. Ramsey, like the other Rast starters, is a performer who stays cool under the stiffest pres- sure, and with Whaley and Jimmy Nelson, carried the Bears to victory in every league game except the clash that Dick Soper’s free thyow won for Northeast, 18-17. Ramsey averaged six points in each of the seven games. Bounds Develops Tuto Star. Northeast’s surprising act of going through undefeated can be traced to the extraordinary development of Bounds this season. Last year be- cause of his awkardness, the husky pivot showed little promise of be- coming the superb rebounder and dangerous scorer that played a great part in the Vikings) march through their schedule, \Bounds finished in a sixth place tie With Jimmy Nelson of East in the segring list, each aver- aging 7.57 points per’ game. Although Soper’s free throw pravided the ie point difference in the was the crashing reboun kept Northeast in the gam made possible Soper’s act. Whaley and Bass received the signments of stopping the opposis tion’s high scorer week after week and passed each test with flying colors. Whaley held Northeast’s John Taibi to a pair of field goals and dropped in three himself. In return Whaley handcuffed Nelson to hold the hustling forward scoreless. Such performances marked the play of both youngsters in the torrid bat- tle for championship honors during | - the campaign. Dethlefsen Hits 8 Points a Game. Dethlefsen and DeLuna carried the burden. for Manual’s Crimson, the former averaging 8 points per game to end behind French and Clint Webber of Westport on the individ- ual scoring list. DeLuna had the habit of fouling out before the games were over and finished only two contests during the season. Despite this weakness, the senior clinched a second team by his rebounding and aggressiveness. Without him Manual likely wouldn’t have crashed the victory column, Dethlefsen, a second team choice Jast season, is one of the best ball handlers in the league and had he been with Northeast or East, Deth- lefsen may have topped French’s scoring average by several points. Soper is a smart, deceptive per- former, who played the hero’s role in three of Northeast’s victories. His free throwing beat Southwest and ‘Racing Is Ready. to Do Its Part. (By the Associated Press.) Lovisvitte, Ky., Feb, 21—Col. * Matt J. Winn, confident the sixty- eighth running of the Kentucky Derby would be among the best in the history of the racing clas- sic, said the sport was ready to go “all out” in helping the United States win the war. The Churchill Downs head man, leaving today for Chicago and a Swing through the East before returning to complete plans for the Derby, May 2, said in an inter- view: “England has proved that con- tinued racing can contribute to morale, but in the end only one thing counts—victory.” A veteran of the last World war, the colonel pointed out that rac- ing contributed without stint then —some $300,000 being raised in Kentucky alone—and stands ready to do it again. MANGRUM ON TOP A 36-Hole Total of 138 Sets the Pace in the $5,000 New Orleans Golf Open. TWO ROUNDS TO PLAY Deadlocked for Second Place, One Shot Back, Are Lawson Lit-~ tle and Sam Snead. HARBERT’S PUTTER BALKS But the Sensation of Winter Swing Still Is in Contention With 141 Aggregate. (By the Associated Press.)® New Orleans, Feb. 21.—Lloyd Mangrum of Oak Park, IIl., led the field today at the halfway point of the $5,000 New Or- leans open golf tournament, |but Lawson Little of San Fran- cisco, former open champion, shot the best round of the meet thus far, a 5-under-par 33-34 —67, to move up a stroke be- hind him in a second place tie with Sam Snead. Mangrum had a 36-hole total of 138 to Little’s 139, after adding a 35-34—69 to yesterday’s 69 that tied Chick Harbert of Battle Creek, Mich., for the first round lead, Fails to Control Putter, Harbert, the sensation of the win- ter swing, had trouble putting and slipped to a par 37-35—72 but still was in the running at 141. Snead, who was followed as usual by the largest gallery of the day, tad a 38-33—68 on lop of yesterday's 71. He would have been ‘in a tie for first except for the stroke he docked himself yesterday when his ball moved as he addressed it, al- though no one else saw it, Little’s putter was red hot and his chipping was exceptional, too, but he 3-putted the fourteenth hole, a par 4 which he termed “the easiest on the course.” His putts included one successful 35-footer, and on the eighteenth he chipped from the edge of the green to the cup, only to have the ball bounce out and roll a few inches away. Mangrum sank a 15-footer for a birdie on the fourth and a 40-footer on the sixth. His best shot was a long approach right down the fair- way to within a few feet of the cup on the seventeenth. Mangrum’s Card in Early. Lioyd, sixth ranking money win- ner of last season, was one of the first to finish. He had virtually no gallery as the spectators, most of them arriving long after he had started, followed other players who: strove vainly to catch him. Henry Picard of Oklahoma City, defending champion, close upon the leaders yesterday with a 10, fell back with a 38-34—72 for a total of 142. Clayton Heafner of Linville. N. C., who also had a 170, 3-putted one hole, 4-putted another and gen- erally blew up for a card of 41-34— 75 and a total of 145. Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa., pre- tournament favorite who had a bad round yesterday, still couldn’t make par and turned in a 36-37—73 for a half-time score of 148.

You'd like to see a Big Six basketball game If you happen to be a devotee of track and field you will be there, of course. Otherwise you may need some selling. Our main selling point would be to help Kansas City convince these ~ Big Six people that we appreciate their athletic events enough to patronize them when they are brought into our front yard, All you alumni of the universities of Mis- souri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and the Kansas State and Iowa, State colleges should lead the way. If you don’t support the local activi- ties of your own schools, have you any license to expect others to do so? The Big Six meet is really a wonderfully attractive indoor enter- tainment, something quite different from the ordinary run of indoor events, but highly spectacular. The expensive equipment, when set up, makes the auditorium probably the finest place in the country for an entertainment of the Big Six track and field type. New York’s Madi- son Square Garden long has had this honor. If you know nothing of track and field as a sport, but have an eye to good athletic competition, you'll be surprised at the entertain- ment you can find in the auditorium Saturday night. The events are highly competitive and you sense it in the atmosphere, It’s really a splendid entertainment. So wake up, all you Big Six alumni, and spread the word. “You Can’t Do That’—Any More. LTHOUGH the free-for-all and any time substitution rule in football did not noticeably slow up the game last fall, as many believed it would, nevertheless there were times when the rule was annoying, both to players and to customers. Usually that was when the defensive team was lined up ready for the attack and the of- fensive team would be emerging from its hud- dle. In would dash a substitute, delaying the play. ‘There is a penalty for delaying the game, of course, and we saw a dozen cases of this last- second substitution racket when we believed a penalty should have been assessed but none was, The coaches who make the rules now have taken care of this. At their December meeting in Jack Stewart’s Camelback Inn at Phoenix, the football legislators adopted a rule that will stop this last ditch substituting. Under the 1942 code no substitution may be made after the referee has “positioned the ball.” The master official “positions the (Continued on Page 2B.)

Greg- ory Rice, the little man with the iron legs, won his forty- second race in a row tonight by defeating Gilbert Dodds of Boston by a scant three yards in the Toussaint 2-mile at the annual New York A.

The former Notre Dame harrier jumped into the lead two and a half laps from home and fought off the bespectacled divinity student all the way home to reach the tape in 8:53.2, a meet record and the third fastest 2-mile event run indoors. Lloyd Hahn’s Mark Tied. John Borican, the young Negro portrait painter from Asbury Park, N. J., equalled the world indoor rec- ord for the half mile. Borican, already the holder of the 600 and 1,000-yard world indoor rec- ords, snapped the tape at 1:51.4, matching the mark Lloyd Hahn es- tablished on an 8-lap New York armory track in 1928. Tonight Borican, running on an 1l-lap affair, took the lead at the very first stride and finished six feet ahead of Charles Beetham, the for- mer Ohio starter from Columbus. Breaks Own Meet Record. @ Borican’s effort snipped one and two-tenths seconds from the meet record he set a year ago. It was the fastest 880. yards ever run in Madi- son Square Garden. Earle Meadows of the Southern California A. A., won the pole vault at fourteen feet and Al Blozis, Georgetown’s man of muscle, tri- umphed in the shot putt with a heave of 53 feet 6% inches. Leslie MacMitchell, who equalled the world indoor competitive record of 4:07.4 in winning the Baxter mile @ year ago, triumphed in the same event, but with a time of 4:09.8.

About half of the eight members were over the weight limit and this means some hard work at the C. Y.

Leroy Jeffries, the light heavy- weight whose experience and boxing skill are expected to carry him a long way, is one of the few who isn’t bothered about weight. Jeffries is about six pounds under the 175- pound limit and so can eat what he- pleases, Phil Moreland, the heayy- weight, of course, is not concerned, nor is Lou Amayo, the welterweight. Amayo was right on the 147-pound dot last night and probably wili be” a) pou nd oe the figure, when ,he . goes on the spales: tomorrow. ; 4 The first four weights appear in first and second round bouts to; morrow night.

Kansas City will be one of fifty- five teams entered in this tourna- ment conducted by the Chicago Tribune. For the first two rounds the teams are separated into two divisions. The first includes what are regarded as the stronger teams such as Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and Kansas City. In the other di- vision are teams from the smaller cities near Chicago, Only One Group Then. After the first two rounds all sur- vivors are thrown together and so it usually happens the toughest fights for Kansas City boxers are in the first and second rounds. Once they~ escape these they sometimes have easier sailing on Wednesday night. Jeffries, Jackson and Amayo will be making their second trips to the Nationals. Jeffries was a middle- weight last year but Jackson and. Amayo are in the same weights.

TWO QUINTETS ARE IN Victories in League Races Qualify Murray, Ky. and. Warrens- burg for Meet. Tournament fever, a strange malady that turns ordinary citizens into stark, raving basketball fans, reappeared here last week. Ever since the days of the old A. A. U. tournament, the deadly virus has been getting into people’s blood streams at this time of year and its only known cure is tourna- ment basketball, the first dose of which will be available starting March 9 when the National Inter- collegiate championship gets under way in Municipal Auditorium. A Show of National Interest. The current version of the week’s court show gives promise of being a. rip-snortin’ finale to basketball’s golden jubilee season. Its fight for recognition behind it, the tourna- ment has become a national event in fact as well as in name, And the court customers here are well aware of this. Perhaps the most conclusive ‘proof is found in the advance ticket sales, which to date amount to al- most as much as the combined figures of the four previous tourna- ments. To the fan in the street, the fiela of starters does not appear as im- portant as the headliners. From past years he knows the thirty-two teams qualifying will be the best in their districts.. The majority will be named to the starting field by: virtue of sectional eliminations or confer- ence championships. This year, the fans have centered their attention on whether or not San Diego State of San Diego, Calif., is coming back to defend its title, and whether West Texas State of Canyon, Tex., will make another try for the championship, San Diego Hopes to Return. So far, Emil S. Liston, tourna- ment secretary, has been unable to answer either question. From Mor- tis H. Gross, coach of the champion San Diego collegians, he’s received word the team wants to return but is having difficulty in working out ways and means of negotiating the trip. The basketball revenues from its home games were cut sharply for several weeks owing to the fact the school gymnasium was put to military use. In the next week or 60, Liston hopes the San Diegans see their way clear foy the jaunt so that they will be back to put on more of their story Kook finishes that, have -characterized their play here in the last three years. From beautiful Texas'no word has come from Al Baggett on that state’s starters. Baggett is chairman of the Texas district and passes on all entries. He’s also coach of the much publicized West Texas Staters who finished third last year, Undoubtedly, the West Texas team can qualify, inasmuch as they are currently rated No. 2 in the na- tion by basketball handicappers and the top team of the South and Southwest. Should the West Texans again try for the championship, the tournament would benefit owing to their color and showmanship. Other Texas teams that are being mentioned for the tournament are Texas Wesleyan, Texas Tech and East Texas State. Kentucky State of Murray, Ky., the 1941 runner-up, and Warrens- burg Mules, champions of M. I. A.A., are the only qualifiers to date, but two or three others are aS good as enrolled. George Pepperdine college of Los Angeles is one. This Los Angeles team comes highly recom- mended by Gross, the district chair- man, and Sam Barry, the coach of University of Southern California. It holds victories over such worthies as Occidental, St. Mary’s, and Santa Barbara State. THE HIGH STARS (Continued. from Page 1B.) Fast and in Friday’s finale with Paseo he looped two long field goals to turn back the Pirates’ gallant bid for an upset, Rarely a_ starter, Soper entered the games when the Vikings showed a tendency to fall apart and his ‘“quarterbacking” was priceless. Cramer Counts 19 in Game. - Cramer is an excellent substitute for Bounds. The Blue Eagle pivot had his best night at scoring in the Paseo game, hitting nineteen points and ended the season in sixth place with a 7.71 average. Huggins is a hard driver and one of the hest-liked players in the league. His ready smile impressed the opponents and his swift thrusts for difficult goals made him a stand- out on the Southwest squad. The honorable mention list in- cludes players who could be inserted on the first and second teams and with no great drop in efficiency re- sulting. Webber banged in nineteen A ? i t points in Westport’s 32 to 31 victory | as ae a over Southwest Friday and jumped from eighth to second in the in- dividual scoring. Central ranked as the highest scoring team with 208 points, and East took top defensive honors, al- lowing opponents only 117 points. The final standings: W. L. Pet. Pts. O.P.

REPEAT OVER HAWKLETS WARD LOSES AN EARLY LEAD, THEN SCORES A 35-31 VICTORY. The Kansans Rally in the Last Five Minutes of Play and Cling to Ball After Getting Back in Front. Ward high school’s fighting Cy- clones capitalized on the closing min- utes of the basketball game to edge out the Rockhurst high team, 35 to 31, last night at the Mason-Halpin fieldhouse, for their second close vic- tory in as many nights. It was the secqnd Cyclone triumph over the Hawklets this season, Rockhurst, which has been enjoy- ing a very mediocre season, bounced back hard against the Ward visitors and with five minutes left to play in the final period were leading the victors, 30 to 27. Ward pulled out in front in the third quarter and seizing most of the rebounds gained a 26 to 23 ad- vantage. Paul Carney followed Len Lecluyse’s free throw with a field goal, to tie the score and Bill Modrcin replied for Ward by sinking a charity toss. Rockhurst’s hopes were highest when Charley Male arched a long one from the floor and B.! Richter banged home a basket on a fast break, to give the Hawklets the lead, | 81 to 28. With the clock ticking off late seconds, the Cyclones staged a rally as Jack Fagan and Bill Lind- quist teamed up on their scoring to stem the Rockhurst tide, Fagan counted one and Lindquist two con- secutive buckets to clinch the game for the Kansans. Changing their zone defense to man-to-man tactics, Ward held the ball for the remain- ing minutes. Rockhurst went on a scoring spree to overcome an 8 to 16 handicap in the second quarter. When the scramble was over the Hawklets were ahead at the half, 20 to 18. The Rockhurst second team won the preliminary game from Ward’s reserves, 17 to 13.

Chestnut Inn’s high-scoring Heart of America league leaders must win their final game of the season Tues- day with the Naval Air Base’ or Share the 1942 championship with the airmen, : Jewish Community Center, in the third place, postponed the title game a week by upsetting Chestnut Inn last Tuesday and now the matter is strictly up to the Navy.- In first place with seven victories in nine starts, Chestnut Inn will finish in a deadlock with the air base if the present second place occupants are victorious. Gateway and Sheffield open the 3-game program at 7:30 o’clock with the Navy-Chestnut Inn clash fol- lowing immediately. Karnes and Jewish Community Center close the action, Echoes—Chestnut Inn, with pen- nant land beckoning, found the way barred by Jewish Community Cen- ter in last week’s semi-final series. The small Jewish cagers, in repeat- ing a first round triumph, bottled up the Chestnut attack and poured in goals on their own account to win, 43 to 26. Held to three points in the first half, Chestnut per- formed on equal scoring terms with their rivals in the final session. United States Naval Air Base met with strong resistance from Gateway Sports in the first twenty minutes, but in the final stages opened a scoring barrage that netted a 46 to 25 victory. Clarence Garner’s rec- ord-making total of thirty-one points. was the highlight of Shef- f2ld’s 49 to 38 defeat-of the Karnes. REBOUNDS — The determined Navy crew held Gateway to two field goals in the second half, one by St. Louis in the first minute and the other by Brody midway of the period . . . Sheffield gave the “whistle-tooters” an easy time, play- ing the entire first half and two minutes of the second without com- mitting a foul. Then Elliott fouled Fleming, and before the game ended the Steelmen added ten more rules infractions... . The 11-point loss by Karnes was the largest margin of defeat this season, the cellarites usually bcwing by only a few points . + . Garner just couldn’t miss as he banged in the points. His first five shots in the opening eight min- utes of the last half split the mesh- es. He hit thirteen goals in nineteen attempts before retiring on personals with a little over a minute of the game remaining. The lanky center’s goal shooting put him back at the top of the individual scoring list with 117 points, sixteen more than his nearest rival. “SHORT SHOTS—A goal and a free throw by Richard Sapp early in the game was the sum of Chestnut’s first half scoring against Center...

That the men’s Trans-Mississippi golf championship, scheduled for the Country Club course here next June, probably will be called off was learned last night. Hap Goodwin, a Country club member who is on the Trans board, announced receipt of a letter from Don Bothwell of Tulsa, Trans presi- dent, in which Bothwell expressed the personal belief that “in view of conditions, the tournament should be called off.” Bothwell wrote that he had cor- responded with Blaine Young of Omaha, secretary of the Trans asso- ciation, expressing that belief and suggesting that Young contact each member of the board -for their opinions. “Bothwell asked me to express my opinion, as a Country club member and not as a member of the Trans board, whether the tournament should be staged,’ Goodwin said. What will be Goodwin’s reply? “I believe,” Goodwin said, “the club would prefer not to shoulder the financial responsibility attached to the staging of a major tourna- ment such as the Trans-Mississippi.” A MAT FOE FOR VILLMER.

GOLFERS GET A BREAK. Improvements Have Been Made at Quivira. When golfers play the fifteenth and seventeenth holes at the Quivira Country club next spring they will bat their eyes in disbelief, for during their enforced winter hibernation large areas of “impossible rough” squarely in the middle of those two fairways have been removed by tractors and bulldozers. The improvements are a part of a $20,000 renovation project en- compassing the entire lake and club property ten miles west of Kansas City. The waters of the lake were lowered more than ten feet and ex- tensive removal of silt and moss oc- cupied a crew of workmen much of the late fall and winter.

Faultless Seeks Financial Assist- ance for Trip to Denver, Officials of the Faultless cham- pions of the Naismith basketball league met yesterday with Missouri Valley A. A. U. officials in the Hotel Continental, hopeful of obtaining financial assistance needed if the Faultless team competes in the National A. A. U. tournament in Denver next month. When the session was over, the A. A. U. had failed to give any definite word as to what financial assistance, if any, would be granted. According to Kenneth Sells, the A. A. U. would like to stage a Mis- souri Valley tournament here. No definite date or site has been ar- ranged and Officials don’t know which teams would be interested in such an event. “Until we know more about this tournament,” Sells said, “we can’t commit ourselves in regard to financial assistance to the Faultless team.” | ..- Shetlands, iwyandotte e106 sed iS .777|Wyandotte , 5 Miller, Kansas | Loose Wile.14 4 (77t|Hrshiield, + 612 333 Bysad Ooeet ates Fretz.... 810.444|Allen Dairy 414 .222 (Ties effey, maeeouTts Missouri, ’ Buy Now: = ive Missouri n still s° tle we at while owe: feet 11 ‘ jin 7 uu the meeds yo ¢ and u war . that yo Felix - Distinguished Clothes $30 -$35 - $40 & $45 pm PLB TS GROTUL, eenene HOCKEY.
