DECEMBER 17, 1946

How to get rid of your coach:
Frank Wickhorst, football coach at California, was fired Dec. 12 by a student committee whose action was backed up by the president's office "with regrets."
The action stemmed from a petition presented four weeks ago and signed by 2,600 students who didn't like the 1945 grid season which saw the Bears win only two games.
And I've heard that Kansas State is trying to get rid of Hobbs Adams the same way, but it's just a rumor.
Pro football is leaving the South after the disastrous season suffered by the Miami team this year. Baltimore seems to be on the inside track now.

It's interesting to note that the national tennis rankings compiled by the U.S.LT.A. omitted from the first 20 one of the players later chosen on the four-man Davis Cup team.
The late Walter Johnson, the "Big Train" of the Washington Senators two decades ago, had his own all-time all-star team.
Pitcher, G. C. Alexander; catchers Alex Kling and Bill Dickey; first base, Hal Chase; second base, Nap Lajoie and Eddie Collins; third base, Jimmy Collins; shortstop, Honus Wagner; outfield, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, and Babe Ruth.
He listed it this way;
The adding-machine scores rung up by Notre Dame against some opponents gave some fourth-stringers a chance to win letters this year, according to Coach Frank Leaby.
Leahy said that 39 players, including 26 ex-servicemen, were awarded monograms.
Clark Griffith, president of the Washington Senators, has announced that a memorial will be erected at Griffith stadium in honor of Walter Johnson, former pitching ace.
Heavyweight champion Joe Louis will not retire until he is beaten, his business manager has announced, Louis is expected to fight until "we have to haul him to the ring in a wheel chair."
Louis will fight an exhibition bout at Mexico City Feb. 5, which may gross a million dollars, Business Manager Lucas said.

With Charley Black and Otto Schnellbacher at forwards, Owen Peck at center, and Ray Evans and Wendell Clark at guards, the Jayhawkers will be after their fifth victory in six starts.

Thirteen men, including six freshmen, made the trip.
The Billikens were recently defeated, 48-44, by Missouri and promise to give the Jayhawkers a tough obstacle to cross for another victory.

Indoor Track Finished Under Stadium Wing
Raymond Kaneh1. University track coach, announced today that the indoor track under the east wing of Memorial stadium has been completed and is ready for use.
Most of the track is in the same place as before with the exception of a four foot strip between McCook hall and the inside of the track. A mixture of clay, sawdust, and cinders has been put on the track bed and the outside edges of the curves have been built up. Runners will be unable to compete because there isn't room to pass but will have to run against the clock, Coach Kanehl said.
The first track meet will be Jan. 24 between freshman and upper classmen. Some of the coming meets will be the Big Six meet Feb. 28 and Mar. 1, at the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City, the Michigan State relays, the Armour Tech relays, the Nebraska, Missouri relays, the Purdue relays, and the Kansas Relays.
