Macauley Lifts Billikens Over Bradley Hurdle
Macauley connected on seven out of 10 shots from the floor and added five free throws while the Billikins kept their season record unblemished after eight games.
New York, Jan. 6—(UP)—Ed Macaulay of St. Louis university, the "cover boy" of the college basketball set, today drew one more ballot for the nomination as the season's outstanding star.
Bradley, defeated only once in 13 previous starts, gave St. Louis a battle during the first half, deadlocking the score at 25-all just as the halftime buzzer sounded. The Billikins' basket bombers rallied around Macauleu in the second half, however, and easily drew clear of undermanned but persistent Bradley.
"Easy Ed" was the whole show last week as he led the Billikins to victory over classy Kentucky in the finals of the Sugar bowl tournament. And he was still "on" last night, pouring in 19 points in St. Louis' 57 to 44 triumph over Bradley in a Missouri Valley conference opener.
At Fayetteville, Ark., Baylor's Bears chalked up a 41 to 37 victory over Arkansas. The Arkansas men deadlocked Baylor at 20-all at the end of the first half but appeared myopic in the second session, clearing only one basket from the floor in the last 13 minutes.
Each voter selects three athletes on a 5-3-1 point basis and Mathias sported a comfortable 404 point marathon. Harrison Harrison, Baldwin Wallace, and Baldwin Wallace.
Dillard, world record-breaking hurdler and Olympic 100-meter dash champion, finished second in the balloting for the second successive year with 119 first-place votes for a total of 1,087 points. Last year Dillard was second to Jack Kelly. Philadelphia sculler.
Mathias Gets Sullivan Cup
New York, Jan. 6-(UP)—Robert Bruce Mathias, 17-year-old Olympic decathlon champion from Tulare, Calif., today became the youngest competitor ever to receive the Sullivan national award, emblematic of the nation's number one amateur athlete.
The 1948 ward, honoring the memory of James E. Sullivan, one of the early leaders of the Amateur Athletic union, was made this year as it is every year after a poll of sports leaders and writers, who chose "The amateur athlete, who by performance, example and good influence, did the most to advance the cause of good sportsmanship during the year."
Joe Verdeur, Olympic breast stroke swimming champion from Philadelphia, finished third with 749 points while Henry Wittenberg, New York police sergeant who won the Olympic light heavyweight wrestling test, was fourth with 629 points.
The good-looking, 6 foot 2 inch 193-pounder, a star in track, football and basketball, gained 201 first place votes from 525 balloters for a total of 1,491 points.
'Red' Ettinger Living At Sunflower, To Re-Enroll After Year Of Pro Ball
Don "Red" Ettinger, tackle for K.U. in 1946-47 and All National Football league guard this year has returned to Sunflower village. He plans to re-enter the University next semester and will be a senior. Although he found professional football to be a fast and rugged game he appears to be in perfect health and happy about his status on the gridiron. He expects to be back with the New York Giants again next year.
Ettinger had very few compliments for the eastern part of the country and seemed pleased with the prospect of getting back in school in Kansas. He is going to play professional football in the fall and attend K.U. in the spring until he fills the requirements for a master's degree in physical education. Then he wants to go into coaching.
Last November "Red" was the only rookie in the National Football league chosen on the All-League team. His immediate success with the Giants was greeted with a large amount of interest in the sporting world. "Red" praised Mike Getto, Jayhawker line coach. "Mike certainly helped me in my line play and is responsible for any success I may have had."
"They always hit you hard in the professional games and they practically never miss a block or tackle. They just don't make many mistakes in professional football," he said.
"Red" met Ray Evans when the Giants played the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh, Pa. Ray had one of his best days against the Giants as he scored three touchdowns and passed for another. "The people of Pittsburgh know Ray almost as well as Kansens do." Ettinger said.
The New York Giants had a large number of rookies on the team this year and Ettinger thinks that next
year the Giants will be one of the two top teams in the division.
Otto Schnellbacher, star end on the 1946 and 1947 Jayhawker teams played for the New York Yankees this year. He was outstanding in pass interceptions, setting a new All-America league record. He is now playing professional basketball in Providence, R.I.
Locksley, Foster Watkins Win
Stillwater, Okla., Jan. 6—(UP)—The DePaul Blue Demons showed little respect for the Oklahoma Aggies' rank as the nation's top defensive basketball team last night as they conked the Aggies, 39 to 32, before 9,000 surprised customers.
Locksey Hall chalked up their third victory in the women's intramural basketball games Wednesday by defeating Sigma Kappa 40 to 20. Foster Hall, a one-game loser, took their third victory by narrowly defeating Alpha Delta Pi 28 to 12.
DePaul, which barely topped Oklahoma City university in a 43 to 41 overtime game Monday, wasn't figured to press the highly-regarded Aggies. But the Demons hit the Cowboys on the coldest night of the year—from a shooting standpoint.
Alpha Omicron Pk, bitherto a two-game winner, handed their game to the Jayettes with a score of 19 to 12. Watkins Hall emerged from their game with a five point lead to defeat Delta Delta Delta 17 to 12.
Coach Hank Iba's boys managed exactly one field goal in the last half—one out of 28 shots at the basket. They casted only nine of 26 in the first half, which was nothing to brag about, but compared with the last period, it was dead-eye shooting.
Aggies Lose To DePaul
The Chicagooans rushed the Aggies whenever A. and M. had the ball, and committed 2 fouls. But the Aggies could hit only 12 of 28 shots, so it didn't matter much.
On the other hand, the Demons, with an 18 to 26 deficit at half-time, had only to continue at approximately the same scoring pace in the last period to win with points to spare. They used a freeze-out effectively in the final minutes.
Pittsburgh, Jan. 6—(UP)—With a 15-point performance by Clint Brown, forward, the Pittsburg State Teachers, today had gained a 55 to 49 basketball victory over Arkansas State of Jonesboro.
Danny Wilhelm, Arkansas forward, fired in 23 points but his teammates failed to provide the difference and Pittsburg went on to win.

SOPHOMORE CLASS New Year's HANGOVER
NCAA Vote On 2 Rules
San Francisco, Jan. 6- (UP)-A new brand of football is on tap for grid customers in 1949 if the National Collegiate Athletic association executive committee accepts proposals from the rules committee.
First, the unpopular "free substitution" rule, which drew boos and catcalls from the fans last season, will be modified; and second, the "reverse center" may be legalized.
These were the highlights of the annual rules committee report to the C.A.A., as announced by chairin Lou Little of Columbia university.
The committee recommended that the free substitution rule be changed to allow "platoon replacements" only during a time out or when the ball changes hands; and abolished the single substitutions that have been allowed when the clock still is going. That latter item was instituted to stop lagging of the 12th man on the field; and possibly was aimed at curbing quarterbacking from the bench.
The "reverse center" proposal was made to the rules committee and still must win approval. Little, along with Ossie Solem, of Springfield and Red Blaik of Army are strong proponents of the formation, which was eliminated at the end of the 1941 season.
