Hogbere, Flirting With T Likely
To Keep 1943 Navy Grid Style
Nv the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
FOLLANSBEE, w. Va. Fob. 1S.-
To 1T" or not to IT" may become
a problem eventually for the new
Navy coach, "Swede" Hagberg, but
he made it clear here that the
chances were he'd probably go along
with the same system that put the
Middies among the Nations foot
ball topnotchers in 1943.
And Comdr. Oscar Emil Hagberg
already has at least some general
ideas to 60 by, for he had a sur
prise meeting recently in the South
west Pacific with his predecessor,
Capt. John E. (Billick) Whelchel
Hagberg. at his home in the Ohio
River steel town of Follansbee for
short rest after a tour of duty
as submarine skipper in the South
west Pacific. gave some thought to
his new job during an interview,
and then said:
Lie way L SEE IL llOW-Wc IL piOU-
ably use the same system as last
year. However, there is a bunch
of IT formation experts at Annapo-
lis and I reserve the right to change
my mind after I survey the sit
uation"
He was silent about his subma-
rine work other than: I'VE sank a
lot of ships"
Capt. Whelchel, who piloted the
Navy powerhouse to eight victories
in nine games last year. used a
single wingback formation with a
"foater" to permit man in mo-
ton as the occasion demanded.
Saying he expects to call the
Navy squad for spring practice about
March Is, Hagberg remarked that
he knew he'd have to do some
thinking about the line. Six of
Whelchel's 1943 stalwarts are in
eligible because of the 3-year rule.
Nevertheless, the new coach is in
clined to agree with Whelchel's opti-
mistic remark-that Navy is headed
for big year.

By the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 18.-Politas,
Mexican champion girls basket ball
team, are out of gasoline for their

their scheduled trip over the United

more fuel, Ernesto E. Fernandez,

The group will go by rail for
games in Arkansas and Oklahoma
he said.
1--WE should have thought about
getting gasoline from Mexico or

The tour calls for games at Nash
