George Little Resigns as
Badger Athletic Director

Little came here from Michigan
to assume both those duties six
years ago, and was instrumental in
bringing the present football coach,
Glenn Thistlethwaite, here in 1927.
His determination to sever connec-
tons with the Badger school came
with surprise, since it was Thistle
thwaite who had been under fire.
1t was considered possible in
some quarters that Thistlethwaite
would be given the combined coach
director post. Others suggested
Little might again assume that
duty. The name of H. o. (Fritz)
Crisler, Minnesota athletic direc-
tor, also was mentioned in connec-
ton with the reorganization con-
templated by the council.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 15.-The
unexpected resignation of George
Little, director of athletics at the
University of Wisconsin since 1925,
confronted President Glenn Frank
and the athletic council today. It
is effective at the expiration of his
contract next June.
Little'S resignation, presented
Frank and the council Monday,
cleared the way for the latter to
proceed with plans to consolidate
the posts of athletic director and
football coach This was contem-
plated as one of many retrenchment
measures necessary because of a
greatly decreased operating budget
for athletics.

IN his article in Tennis, Hardy
Il admits Wood is one of the finest
shotmakers in the game and needs
only to learn selt-control to reach
the top. Well, what better way
can you name for Sidney to learn
control in an important match than
by playing in important matches.
Certainly, he couldn't learn by
watching Hardy explode in the
dressing room.
When the United States sent
Wood and Shields abroad this year
they started an experiment that
France tried with success. CocheU,
Lacoste and Borotra did not win
the Davis cup the first time they
tried. Like Wood and Shields, they
we're youngsters when they started
out, and needed the skill that
comes only with experience. Eng
land did the same thing with Aus
tin and Perry.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-12-15

too. But he didn !, and that's just
why 1 think Hardy is all wrong.
HARDY, in an article in Tennis,
4 l. urges that Wood, because of
his nervousness before an important
match, be barred from representing
the United States in international
play. In an answer to this article,
Wood says that Hardy severely criti-
ciSed him during his Davis cup
match with Bunny Austin of Eng
land, instead of encouraging him.
Hardy, Wood says, told him he
was no good, had no chance of
winning, and looked like fool on
the court.
This writer would like to ask
Hardy what he expected from a 49,
yearold boy making his first stand
in such a match. Did he expect a
Cochet, mechanical as a robot and
cold as ice? Did he expect a Til
den, whose many years of cam
paigning make him all the more
dangerous when the stakes are
high?
If he did, the man ought to run,
not walk, to his nearest bookstall
and purchase some reliable work
on why we behave like human be-
ings, and the such.

PLANS TO BAR GAMING
Purses Would Be Paid
Entirely Out of Gate
Receipts, He Declares.

First move toward resunning
greyhound racing here was taken
today. with filing Of suit in su-
perior court five asking that
Sheriff Charles Sumner be enjoined
from interfering with the running
of such races at the Indiana Ken
mel Club track on the Noblesville
road.
Lease on the twenty-four acres
Of ground, the grandstand and the
track has been obtained by Alva
Spindler Of Chicago, who is seek
ing the injunction. Prepare Sory
work toward reconditioning the
track has been started.
Spindler announced that if the
court grants the injunction he will
operate the track without any kind
OF gambling and purses will be paid
out OF the general grandstand adj
missions.
Plans Breeding Farm
Not only will the Kennel club
be used for racing, according to
Spindler, but greyhound farm for
breeding and rearing of thorough
hreds. will be conducted there.
In the opinion Of Spindler and
his attorney, Joseph T. Marley, the
Indiana statutes do not forbid dog
racing, which will be conducted on
the same principles as county fair
events, but do forbid gambling on
results Of races.
Will Ban Gambling
Gambling will not be permitted,
Spindler declared in discussing this
phase Of the racing. I'VE shall OBJ
crate the track on the idea that
greyhound racing is solely an en-
tertainment."
approximately 100000 was
spent in setting up the track by the
defunct Indiana Kennel Club, Ltd,
which operated just a week in the
summer of 1929 and was forced out
OF business by the arrest of the OPP
orators on gambling charges, when
a betting system called the invest
ment PLAN was put in operation.
