HEAD YANKEE COACHING JOB GIVEN ROLFE

New York, Jan. 8-(UP)--The old and the new in the New York Yan- kee baseball empire completed long range plans today to blend their ef- forts toward restoration of the pres- tige that suffered when war deplet- ed the rosters of all of its key clubs.
 Representing the old regime was bluff Joe Mccarthy, the most suc- ceSsful manager in major league history, who almost resigned last sumner because of illness. Return ing from the old guard to help him was Robert (Red) Helfe, who leaves behind him Q brief but successful career as Yale baseball and basket ball coach to take over the head Yankee coaching job.
 The colorful ex-Yankee infielder was induced to return to his old team by Mccarthy and he will Suc- ceed Art Fletcher, who resigned be- cause of illness.
 The new order, which came in when Larry MacPhail took over as President after he and associates purchased the club last year, Is as ambitious as the old Yankee group was conservative.
 MacPhail announced that he had named Parke Carroll, former busi- ness manager of the Minneapolis club of the American Association as general manager of the Newark farm club.
 Carroll To Newark
 Appointment of Carroll to the Newark post was a mild surprise since he had been expected to head the Kansas City farm club because of his connections there as sports editor of the old Kansas City Journ- al. The Yankees still have a field manager to select at Newark be- cause Fred FitzsimmonS, former Brooklyn Dodger pitcher and man. ager of the Phillies through part Of last season, turned down the job. He said he preferred to remain at his job as business manager of the Brooklyn entry in the All-America Football Conference.
 Also working for that Yankee Dollah" will be Cmdr. Frank Lane, soon to be discharged from the Navy, who was named acting gen. eral manager at Kansas City. Lane formerly was an associate of Mac- Phail with the Cincinnati Reds. He also was named Supervisor of play CT development" of all Yankee farms west of the Mississippi River.
 Gene Martin, last year with Bing- hamton, N. Y, in the Eastern League was made supervisor for clubs east of the Mississippi and both he and Lane will work with George Weiss, chief of the Yankee farm system.
 Associate coaches under Rolfe will be Johnny Neun, Earl Coon1bs and John Schulte, holdovers in the Yankee organization. Neun was former manager at Newark and Kansas City, while Schulte and Coombs have been coaches with New York for several years.

 Nelson played his usual steady game. He didn't get off any crowd whooping drives, but always was down the middle: he didn't hit the pin with his approaches, but he always was on the green; and he sunk very few of those 20-foot puts, but he always was close.
 He put together scores 71-69-72-72 -284-over the tricky Riviero Coun- try Club course. There were lot of 69s during the tournament, but only one score hetter-the 68 com piled by Sammy Snead on opening day.

Sacred Heart Five Enjoys
 Record Yeor

The longest winning streak in the history of the school has been com piled by the 1945-46 edition of Coach Ebby Conlon's youthful but aggressive Sacred Heart High quin- tet who last night tagged a decisive 45 to 10 defeat on Litchfield High before a little over POO paying cus- toners at the Wilby gym for their seventh straight.
 From the opening whistle the lneager turnout was convinced that the Parlor Town aggregation was no match for the local Sharpshoot- CTS who rolled up to 1 lead sev- eral minutes before the first quarter ended. Not content to coast the lo- calls increased their lead to IS to l soon after the second canto was un- derway, but the contest became so lop-sided that Coach Conlon sent in his reserves who finished the contest most admirably.
 Reserves Do Well
 The local reserves kept on where the regulars let off and when the intermission whistle sounded Litch- field trailed, % to 3. Jacquith sunk a set shot from the foul line for the visitors only field goal of the half which came in the waning seconds of the second period.
 An all-sophomore team represent ed the Hearts in the third period and as the last quarter started this youthful quintet had increased their lead to 39 to 8. The last period saw Coach Conlon using every player in uniform.
 Capt. Bill Walsh and DOC" Mur- phy each scored seven points to di- vide the scoring honors of the eve- ming while Georgie Guildoile fea- tured throughout with his fine brand of ball handling and his clever passing. Jacquith, with five markers, was Litchfield'S best bet. The Sacred Heart reserves routed the Litchfield seconds, 26-ll in the preliminary.

New York, Jan. 8-(UP)-Daniel ' Ferris, a chubby little man with white hair who has difficulty mak- ing the second floor in an elevator, was all steamed up today over his prospects in running" the indoor mile this winter.
 Daniel, of course, isn't going to lace on the spikes and set four minute mile pace for the board saucer glamor event. He's prone to admit that nobody is in sight to &C., complish that feat. But Ferris, as National A. A. U. secretary, lines up the talent for the big run and once again has come up with bit of foreign flavor.
 Sid Wooderson, the aged British miller, apparently snubbed an invite t. come over and get showed around again like he did at Princeton a few years ago. So Daniel dipped into the cablegrams and came up with Marcel Hansenne, a French importation complete with gestures.
 COnqueror of Hagg
 You will hear much, after Marcel waves bon jour, about how he is the conqueror of Sweden's famed Gunder Hagg. Hansenne did finish D mile run ahead of the gaunt one In A:O8.2-but Sweden's Lennant strand and Arne Anderson were ahead of Marcel.
 Gkill, in these days and with the Scandinavian swifties in expense account disgrace. a 4:08.2 mile is not something to be sneezed at. If TEansenne takes to the board he should be quite a threat in his four American races, the Millrose. Bos- ton, N. Y. A. 0. and National A. A. Q. meets.
 Tt all shapes up very nicely" Daniel beamed cherubically as he announced the acquisition of the Beet Frenchman. "Hansenne (pro- riOunced hand-seen) won the French i.5O0-meter championship with a time of 3:49.l and ran well in sweden. beating Hagg."
 Anybody Beats Hagg
 That beating Hagg" is. of course. A bit og window dressing. It was setting % that even the Swedish commuters running for the s:i5 Ware outdistanclng old 0under the wonder. The supreme insult was when Jimmy Rafferty stopped Hagg continually, and Jim's best time was dr0WRy A:l3.i. So Dan $ content fo forget the Swedish slumberers and keep his fingers crossed on the approaehlng FFenchman.

New York, Jan. 8-(UP)-William Walker Cooper was one of three or four players who could make an oth- erwise mediocre club Q contender re- gardless of environment, salary satis- faction and whatnot. That Is why the Giants paid the Cardinals $175,- 900 for his contract.
 That's a lot of lettuce for an ath- lete even in these days of ignited in- flation, but Horace Stoneham figured he might as well leave part of his tax headache to the Red Birds.

 Lapchick, pointing out that . big ser, better and faster game has far outgrown the average campus gym, comments that "confining college basketball to'a campus setting would neither eliminate gambling nor tho opportunity for a gambler to offer hribe." Not only that, 1t would stunt the growth of the game and would be an implied slap at the integrity of the average American kid. As aefinal cllncher to Mills on Looks question Should College Basketball be Kept on the Cam pus?" Lapchick coyly asks, "Then why not hold the Army-Notre Dame football game at West PoIntP"
