 Want to learn how to run bases like Q ball of fire and perhaps some day lead the major leagues in base stealing? Danny Mur- taugh, freshman second baseman of the Philadelphia Phillies, broke into the National league about the fourth of July last season and fin- ished the campaign by leading the circuit in stolen bases. Well, here is his formula for base . running success. He works a1i winter in Q shipyard at Chester, Pa, where the Delaware River widens toward the sea. His job keeps him climbing ell over the hulls in construction all day. A bit of hss .ietball keeps his legs frcm stiffen4ng Up in she evenings and then to top 1t all )ff, sometimes in the middle of the night Danny has to jump out of bed and run i0 blocks as an active member of the Franklin Volunteer Fire Corps.
 Harold Olsen's basketball play CTS practice for ore of the tough- est seasons an Ohio State quintet ever scheduled. Practice sessions began Oct. 2i and about 25 men drilled three nights Q week. On Nov. IS, flve-nights-a-week prac- tice starts. The Buckeye cagers, who have five lettermen returning, have one of the most extensive itineraries in court circles.

 That coach Tom St!dham had to do considerable building in his first football season at Marquette Is evident from the fact that his first five ends and all four of his centers are Sophomores ... Johnny Goodyear, star right halfback of the squad, is aEnbidextrous There are three Southpaws on the team, too.
 Three acts of brothers were rep- resented on the University of Tul- Sc varsity grid squad this fall. They are Joe Gibson, senior quarter back, and Ken Gibson, senior eEd, from Electra, Tex; Glenn Donas, junior halfback, and Bob DobhS, sophomore fullback, from Frederick, Okla; and Saxon Judd and Jack Judd, sophomore end and halfback respectively. Jack Judd suffered an injured knee as a freshman and to date hasn't been able to play on 1t.
 Pat Kennedy, the dancing, acro- batic, shouting, contortlonist bas- ketball official, comes out with the best basketball advice of the year.
 .., In Q booklet on Basketball Officiating" Peerless Pat, whose antics on the court sometimes fur- niSh more excitement than the cage contest, says: There is such thing as poetry of motion Ali gestures should have purpose ,. To be executed with pose and grace .. Do not bawl or shout"
 There's no doubt that the magic in the T formation that propelled Stanford to gridiron fame last year will continue to hefuddle footballers for seasons to come if there are any more apt pupils like left handed quarterback Frankie Albert Frankie can do some amaz- ing things with the "T' and Q football but it's his trigger like thinking thatIl be remembered long after the TT" has cooled off Take the Stanford victory over Washington this year =, He must have amazed Washington more by tearing off five yards to 6 first down in his own territory on fourth down, than did any trick of :he "T."
