a powerful fellow who is one of the

whom I am moving back from right

was q consistent star with a losing
team, q terrific line smasher, fast for

good passer. On the type team he

James Benton of Arkansas was an

agile, he was the rangy type of bas-
ket ball playing athlete in which Ar
kansas specializes, that you simply
couldn't keep away from passes any
where IN his territory, whether his
side or the enemy was throwing
them. He was one of the high scorers,
. good blocker and an alert, clever
defensive man.
I've given the call to Pete Acker
Of my s. M. U. team over Sam Boyd
Of Baylor after seeing both in action
and watching the reports on the Bear
player week to week. Acker developed
suddenly into a marvellous wing, q
great pass catcher and, to my mind,
by far the best defensive man at the
position In the league.

 MAY SURRENDER
Bait Thrown Out About
 Immunity May Influence 4 Him to Quit

 New York, April 10-(UP)-Police hoped today that, bait held out for Robert Irwin-immunity from the electric chair-would cause the 29- year-old sculptor to surrender him. self as the slayer of Veronica Ged- con, 20-year-old artists model, her mother, Mary, and Frank Byrnes, a lodger in the, Gedeon's Beekman Hill apartment.
 "The man is stark mad" said Assistant Chief Inspector John A. Lyons, in charge of the scores of detectives assigned to hunting him.
 "ie will never be sent to the chair. What we want now is to pick him up to safeguard the public. He is a danger to the community wherever he might be-"
 Heading for West
 Lyons believed that Irwin, for- mer divinity student and inmate of an insane asylum, was heading for Los Angeles, his one-tine home, but Manhattan's 'slunls and "fiop houses" were carefully watched. The inspector said that Irwin probably never could be convicted of the crime. i"It is no longer 8 criminal matter" he said. But a medical one" The police continued to re- ceive "tips" from all over the coun- try as to the fugitive's whereabouts, but all proved worthless.
 Clever at Killing
 Dr. Thomas A. Gonzales, acting chief medical examiner, admitted that the strangulation of Veronica was performed so deftly as to defy conclusive opinion as to the manner of her death. An autopsy definitely established that Mrs. Gedeon died of manual strangulation and Byrnes of stab wounds inflicted by an in- strument such as an ice pick.
 T couldn't swear on the witness stand how she (Veronical died" Dr. Gonzales said. "The killer might have used a silk cord or a gloved hand or a soft cloth, or even the crook of the arm."
 Dr. Russell E. Blaisdell, superin- tendent of the Roekland State Hospital, in which Irwin had been a voluntary inmate, feared that. the sculptor had committed Suicide-a fear shared by the police.
