Yankees Have Not Given Up on Land-
Ing Coast Sensation—Kansas
Cagers .Outstanding

-NEW YORK, Dec. 12 (@).—The
Yankees haven’t given up on Freddie
Hutchinson yet—even though the
Pirates are Supe? to have the deal
cinched for the coast_kid...One of
the champs’ bosses tells this depart-
ment it isn’t anywhere near settled—
and that if the Yanks really want
Freddie, no other club can outbid
‘em...You can definitely write off
the rumor that has Adam Walsh
switching from Bowdoin to coach
Holy Cross...Were there any back-
fires on officials over that row in the
Arkansas-Rice game—or is it all for-
given...Wonder if folks generally
realize that in the past eight years,
old Phog Allen’s Kansas basketball
teams have won six Big Six titles,
tied for a seventh and finished second
the other time..:Who said these!
young fellers are such hot stuff?

Steven Owen says what really won
his Giants the pro championship over
the Packers in that thriller yesterday
was all the talk that his boys were
so “lucky”...“After- we beat the
Packers two weeks ago and Wash-
ington last week,” says Steve, “every-

 

body hollered we were the luckiest ||

club ever...So no one gave my kids
credit for being as smart as they
really are—and they fooled every
body, including Green Bay.”...Now
that the Giants have Zeke Bonura for
first base. what’s going to happen to
Brooklyn’s Buddy  Hassett...The
thrush has shown that he’s definitely
‘big league stuff, so the Dodgers ought
to trade him where he’ll have a shot
at first basing...Instead of trying.to

make an outfielder out of him...The |!

kid deserves the chance.

They’re certainly keeping things |}!

in the family on that Tulane basket-
ball outfit ... F’rinstance, Forward
Paul Pare is a brother of the Wave’s
tennis coach; Guard Joe Anderson is
a nephew of Track Coach Fritz
Cakes; little Monk Simons, Jr., is a
son’ of the boxing coach, and Capt.
Gene Harmon is a brother of Tom,
the sophomore -halfback...Down at
Mississippi college they shifted Capt.
Joe Hitt from back to end this year
—so all he did was score 80 points...
Incidentally, Joe’s also captain of the
basketball and track teams, infields
for the baseballers and is president
of the student body...Quite a boy.
