is a tough break at the time. OF
one of the most important con-
tests of the year.
The young Italian net star has
had a real siege Of illness and
has been threatened with pieu-
monia. He is getting better now,
but will not be at the gym to-
night. He must remain at home
in bed while his mates do their
best to overcome the handicap
of his absence. Either Thomas
or Wooden win take his place.
And that's not all. Whitaker,
the center, also has been under
the weather. He win pay To-
night, but his fitness will be a
question not answered until the
actual conflict.
Coach Curtis OF MartinsviIle
was bit difYident about giving
this information to the pubic.
He thought that the fans might
think he was sending out "bear"
stories on attempting alibis.
We assured him that this
would not be the case, especially
as Francesconi positively would
not play. And don't think that
the Artesjan City lads are
whipped before the game starts.
As Curtis said: 1--WE believe we
can beat them anyway. The
Boys are going to fight all the
harder"

That latest sensation Of the turf,

New Orleans Thursday and was in
the money five times. He won

Garner and Johnson, were lone.

Sort of "blind baggage" ride.
Till INGRAM MS many
TX friends were glad TO learn
Of the former Indiana Uni
versity coach's appointment to a
similar position at the Naval
Academy.
The Navy football coaching staff
for next season will be more or
less of a family affair with Com
mander Jonas H. Ingram, the new
athletic director, and his younger
brother William in charge OF
things.
1t is thought that the elder In
gram will take active part in the
coaching, with Bill as his assist
ant. The former Crimson mentor
will take charge of spring prac-
tice. The new athletic director
does not take over his duties until
June.
Meanwhile, at I. u. the athletic
board is searching for new all
year football coach. One might
say that the coaches are searching
for the I. u. job. Letters continue
to pour in. The committee is in
vestigating many of the applicants
and Athletic Director Clevenger is
carrying on correspondence with
several.
A meeting to have been held this
week to consider the selection OF a
coach has been postponed until
next week in order to allow the
committee more time for inyesti-
cations.

in stature but long on scoring. He
