WRANGLENG over
minnesota COACH
(Bv Associated Pressl

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. Jan. ia
group of alumni of the University OF
Minnesota today was reported consid
ering what steps can be undertaken to
obtain the services of Hugo Bezdek
athletic director at Pennsylvania State
as head football coach at Minnesota to
succeed DR.. Henry L. Williams, who
has been Gopher mentor % years.
Both Bezdek and Fred Luehring,
athletic director at the University OF
Nebraska, late yesterday concluded
conferences with Lotus d. Coffman,
president of the university regarding
the position of athletic director at Min
nesota. They left for their homes
without a decision being reached, it is
said.
The board Of regents will meet to-
day. but Mr.. Coffman said it was
doubtful if the athletic situation would
be considered.
More than 40 names have been men
toned for athletic director and an
equal number for coach. University
authorities want to make the two posi-
tons separate with each man paid
$1,000 year while alumni contend that
the two places should be combined
with salary of approximately $4,000
annually.
If such a plan were adopted alumni
said BeZdek would consider coming to
Minnesota.
MY relations at Pennsylvania State
are of the very best" said Bezdek last
night. Our athletics there have been
successful and / have been accorded
the best of support.
''1f | were to come to Minnesota, the
monetary gain would not be the only
consideration, | would want TO satisfy
myself that | would be making a move
forward in my profession. that'I would
have there greater things to accom-
plish and that l would be free to
tackle these problems with a free
hand"
Luehring was reported not to be IA
Vorably impressed with the situation
at Minnesota and doubted if he could
be tempted away from his present
berth.

tourney AT LIBERTY
is ABOUT ARRANGED;
Interest is SHOWN

LIBERTY, Ind, Jan. 13.-Plans for
the second annual invitational basket
ball tourney to be staged by the Lib
erty high school are nearing compile
ton. Date set for the affair is Feb.
4. Indications are that an overflow
crowd will attend. Horace Parker will
be one of the officials, and it is
thought that Spencer Stevens will al
ternate with him
The outstanding fact that makes for
interest in this event is the wealth of
evenly matched teams in this immedi-
ate vicinity. Alquina has the best
team in its history, and a team that
will give any of the teams in Wayne,
Union, Fayette or Franklin a run for
the honors. Alquina has twice defeat
ed Liberty this season, but the Scarlet
five maintains that they can win the
tourney.
Brownsville, Liberty's most heated
rival, is cock sure of winning the gon-
Talon. Wright's crew has been itching
to get at the Scarlet all season, and
this will be their golden opportunity.
L. Fl. S. is confident that they can
take the measure of Brownsville. Cen
terville says they have had hard luck
in the games with Liberty, and that
their team ought to win this time.
RrooEViIle After Honors
Brookville registers a claim on the
bunting, swearing that they will have
to be dragged feet first from the floor
If they are beaten. What it takes for a
real tourney seems promised Besides
the teams already mentioned, Boston
will be on hand, it is thought. This
team, while making no assertions, may
cut wide swath. In all, eight teams
are desired, the distance from Liberty
! governing the selection, to some
extent.
Connersville, due to their unques
toned superiority this season, will not
be asked to enter. Richmond would
be unable to accept the invitation, il
is thought
As now planned, there will be a
| drawing for teams and places on the
schedule within the next week or II
days. Three games will be on the
| morning card, three in the afternoon
and the final contest in the evening.

GEORGES CARPENTER
KNOCKS OUT COOK

LONDON, Jan. 13.-Georges Carpen-
tier, heavyweight boxing champion of
Europe, won his match here Thursday
night against George Cook, the Aus
tralian heavyweight. winning by the
X. o. route in the fourth round.
A straight left to the chin and a
right to the jaw foored Cook for the
count. He was on one knee when
Referee Jack Smith counted him out.
In the first two rounds the men re-
sorted mostly to in-fiyhting, in which
Cook seemed to have the advantage.
After the first two rounds, Carpenter
resorted to the long range fighting in
which he had the decided advantage.
After some mitigating in the fourth
round, Cook rushed Georges only to
meet with a straight left to the jaw
and two rights to the same place.

INTEREST IN QUAKERS
is AT HIGH PITCH;
BUTLER FRAY TONIGHT

The Earlham basketball team will
battle the Butler aggregation at Indi-
annapolis Friday night in one of the
most anticipated games on the Quak-
er basket card. Fans have been wait
ing fmpatiently for these two teams to
lock horns, as the meeting will do
much TO determine the standing Of the
Quakers in state circles. Neither
Coach Move nor Coach Page is pre-
dieting a victory.
The Pagemen have more to lose by
dropping the contest than the Quak-
ers, for thus far their seasons record
has been almost clean slate in the
defeat column. The Maroons, on the
other hand, have everything to gain
and are in the midst of an upward
climb that will be hard to stop. Last
weeks victory of the Mowemen over
the Dentals has caused the Butterflies
