CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Now you
know what Coach Doug Mills Of IL

cided to switch Handy Andy Phillip
from guard to forward this season.
1t was another Big Ten champion

shows how he can multiply when it
really counts.
Shift Proves Successful.
AS a guard last year, Phillip led
the Illini scoring through Is Big
Ten meetings with a 10.6 average.
Mills figured he was better than
that, so he had him trade jobs with
Jack Smiley. The mastermind switch
worked all around. Smiley last
night held Push Em-Up Johnny
Kotz to II points, three of which he
couldn't stop because they came
from the foul line.
That left last seasons scoring
champ with a % point showing in
two games, for Northwestern's Bud

lack Of any complaint by these
hunters, and definite gauge that

Inmates promised. For had 1t not
been there would have been the
usual advice as to the proposed
regulations for next season.
Birds Become Blind-Shy.
In our small orbit 1t is impossible
to gain a true impression of the
value Of the extension Of the season
through the first 10 days Of Janu-
ary, for. in the Chesapeake country
the birds had been shot at so con-
tinuously over so long period they
truly were blind-shy and gunners'
bags dropped materially. The ex-
pected heavy kill did not hurt the
fiocks to the extent that 1t might be
deemed wise to cut the additional 10
days Oh next year. Had 1t not been
for the heavy weather of the last
two days Of the season, the January
kill would not have equaled that of
q like period during the early season.
There was noticeable exodus Of
birds from the upper bay late in De-
cember. Whether it was due to the
ice or lack Of food Is hard to say.
It was clear that cans were not
feeding upon celery and eel grass,
for they were muddy up to their

Alexander is home to stay and
back in boxing for the remainder
of his athletic career. Home be-
cause his wife is expecting a bun
die from heaven and because the
family wants to settle down. He's
employed in the Martin bomber
factory outside of Baltimore, and
the few shekels he picks up in the
ring are velvet.
The Kid joined King Brady's
marathon show when it was in
Washington and trouped through
the Midwest and Southwest with it.
His wife started out with him but
left after they won f1rst-prize money
at Dallas. That was worth $3.50,
not counting coins tossed into the
hat by the crowd in appreciation
Of little side numbers.
Picked Up S1,6o0 in Dallas.
In the marathon game the size
of your income depends on your
ability to amuse the customers,
and the Kid MARBLES some, not too
bad, and shakes a mean hoof. His
wife did jitterbug number that
panicked the gallery, and together
they made it profitable venture.
Alexander also permitted himself
to be frozen in a cake of ice a
couple of times. He lasted 171a
minutes on his first attempt and %
the second, but gave up the stunt
when it didn't pay as we'll as 1t
should. He pocketed $25 and SIS
on the shows and promptly shot the
works getting thawed out.
The Kid played in San Antonio
Dallas, Fort Dodge and Detroit dur
ing the tour and Dallas is the No.
town on his map. He and the
missus picked up 1880 in the Texas
metropolis, which might be the
reason for his affection. But the
tour as a whole was profitable. He

money. He won two grinds and
was second four times.
His prolonged absence from the
ring affected Alexander's work. II
left him stiff and rusty, but his
win over Reed was sufficient evil
dence he is gradually working out
the kinks and should soon regain
the form that stamped him one o1
the most promising preliminary boys
in the precinct.
