Success With Seibert

Two of hockey's most durable
athletes are OFT Heller Of the
New York Rangers, who'll be
humping the Wings around to-
night ~ Olympia. and Earl Sci
bert. who is now with Jack
Adams gang
The two started out together
IS years ago in tho same Ontario
town Of Kitchenersand have been
good hockey hands ever since.
Les Rice. y. Y. Journal-Ameri-
can. got this appraisal Of Seibert
from Frank Boucher, Ranger
boss
How much had advancing
years corroded old BaIdy's'
efficiency and how much would
he help the Red Birds In their
pursuit of the paIpitsting Cana
dienSs
I'D say Earl comes pretty
close tO insuring them the
championship. I've believed
right along the Wings would
win and Seibert's presence on
their blue line strengthens that
conviction.
"Seibert still Is an outstand-
Ing defense man even though
he IL getting toward the twi-
light of his career. You can't
expect a big fellow like him at
- to he a good as he was at
% or 81.
Earl IL still big and strong.
He has such a powerful stride
he's hard TO check and wrestle
around with. He has good,
hard shot. Also an even temper
which IL an admirable assetA

has been. Seldom loses his
head. He takes his humps and

might say, as part of his

Remembering that Seibert and

Bio Ten Post Down

BY BOB MURPHY
-I Sports Editor
LOOKING AROUND:

LOOhl4N1 AfNOOND. ~
No matter who succeeds in the
job of Big Ten commissioner
there is going to be an increase
in salary for the office.
The field has simmered down
to Michigan's Fritz Crisler and
Northwestern's Tug Wilson with
the likelihood that the latter will
take the job. Both are the type
of man who refuse TO campaign.
1t is known though that Wilson
would take the post. He has been
on the Wildcat campus, boy and
man now, for more than 20 years
and knows his way around the
Western Conference.
Crisler has become one Of the
best liked men in Big Ten sports
since he Came TO Michigan from
Princeton eight years ago.
Not only is he popular but his
judgment commands a high re-
spect in the councils of the Mid
west league. But he likes the
Setup in Ann Arbor and will
likely stay there.

Grid Star Brings
Eastern ':5 to Fore
BY JAKE BERSON

DetroitS newest prep coach,
Johnny Greene. former U. of NJ.
gridder who developed into one of
the Lions star linemen last fall,
is readying his Eastern High
cagers for their big game with
Southeastern tomorrow night.
Greene joined the Eastern
coaching staff only a month ago.
1t is his first crack at basketball
coaching. but his small, aggres-
sive Indians are just game
behind the unbeaten Southeastern
quintet in the southeast group of
the Metropolitan League.
Eastern and Southeastern met
in the opening game Of the season,
finishing in a PAPA tie. Athletic
Director Art Erwin handled the
Indians in that contest.
IN TWO SPORTS
Greene was a quarterback and
tackle in three years with the
Wolverines and captained the
wrestling team. He started as
reserve lineman with the Lions
and, in their late winning squirt,
was playing a bangup game at
guard.
The Eastern-Southeastern con-
test in the Eastern gym headlines
tomorrow nights Metro card.
Other teams unbeaten in league
competition, Hamtramck, Central
and Northwestern, are favored.
The Cosmos should gather their
fifth straight at Pershing'S ex-
penSe and Central appears too
strong for Redford. Northwest
ern. however, may have some
trouble with Wilbur Wright.
