III: Height Brought Laughter
When He Was in High
School; Today It Brings Re-
spect When He Is in College; {;
,He Is Greatest Shot in Game

Marion, Ind, March l5.-(P)-They
laughed at Stretch Murphy the first
time he stepped upon a basketball
court. But this year he scored l43
points in Big Ten competition. nine
more than ever made before by q
single player.
Murphy doesn't owe his success to
a home study course. but to the very
thing which brought laughter In
Marion few years ago-lis height.
Ralph Gilbert. high school coach,
saw that stretch could easily out
jump his classmates, and decided to
develop him. He put Murphy in the
pivot position on the second team,
and. kept him there for two years.
Stretch outgrew his awkwardness
am: learned to play fast basketball.
Gene Thomas, former Indiana uni
vcrsity star. took over the Marion
coaching Job, and continued the work
which Gilbert had started. Murphy
became dead shot. and experience
made him tireless. In 1925, he
reached the peak of his high school
career by playing center on the team
which won the state championship.
Purdue university got him. AS a
freshman he was six feet, six inches
tall. but weighed only l58 pounds. He
played on the freshman five In 1927.
Good coaching and natural growth
have increased his weight to l80
pounds.
For two seasons he has been tossing
the ball through the basket with sur.
prising regularity.

Take both or neither Of us.
The Waner brothers-and the base
ball public-await the outcome Of
that ultimatum, served by the former
on the Pittsburgh baseball club.
Paul and Lloyd, for two years out
field stars with the Pirates and one
Of the best brother acts II the his
tory Of the game, demand $4,000
more In salary than Pittsburgh has
offered them.
And there the matter stands. Me-
gotiations were broken off several
weeks ago. Meanwhile the Bucs are
going through their spring training
program. devoting special attention
to the development Of requirements
for the missing outfielders.
Baseball writer's with the squad ur,-
derstand that the club offered Paul
an increase Of from $4,000 to $4,000
and Lloyd raise Of from $4,000 to
$4,000. total combined salary OF
$4,000. But. 1t seems, the hard-rid-
ing Oklahoma youngsters demand
$35, 900 or liothing.
