Navy's Tiny Five Aims
To Spill Undefeated,
Tall West Virginia
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. IL
Navy's mighty mites" are going to
put to a severe test tomorrow eve
ming the theory 1.-The bigger they
come the harder they fall"
The Middies are out to chop down
to their sizes the West Virginia
basket ball five-undefeated in IL
games and a leader in the country.
Only the Mountaineers and Du-
quesne are without defeat as the
season swings into its last month.
The Navy, a peanut sized outfit
among today's skyscraping hoop
sters, has earned top recognition in
the East, at least, by winning all but
one of a dozen games--the last nine
in row.
Coached by Ben Carnevale, in his
first year at Navy, the Middies aver
age 3 inches less than the conven-
tional 6 feet, while West Virginia. S
five goes for an average of 6 feet 3
inches. The dynamo of Carnevale's S
bee-busy outfit is Capt. Kenny
Shugart.
They call the Navy leader Sugar"
and he's a sweet player, according
to Carnevale. The coach says fatty
Ken is the greatest little guy I've
ever seen on a basket ball court"
Coach Carnevale is sticking with
his regular five--Shugart and Jack
Robbins at forwards, Cy Waldrop in
the pivot, and Johnny Barrow and
Don Dick at guards.

After } Bosox Trials
By the Associated Press

BOSTON, Feb. 11-Jim Bagby,
jr., brought back to the Red Sox
from Cleveland last season, today
was. sold out of the American League
to the Pittsburgh Pirates of the
rival National loop.
Bagby made his major league de-
but one to be remembered when he
defeated the powerful New York
Yankees on opening day in 1898.
His record has been in and out
since then with his all-time big
league career showing 90 victories
and the same number of losses.
In the middle of the 1889 season
Bagby, VINO came up from Hazelton
in the New York-Penn League, was
sent down to Little Rock in the
Southern Association.

and the next season traded him to
Cleveland where he remained until
the Sox brought him back once
again for last season when he had
a 7-6 record. Among his 1916 VIC
tories was one over Bob Feller, the
first game the latter pitched after
hurting a no-hitter against the New
York Yankees.
Son of the famous Sarge" Bagby
who pitched for Cincinnati, Pitts
burgh and Cleveland, Jim is 80
years old, married and the father
of three children.

Busher's Failure Held
Reason for Auction
OF Mayer s5tabIe
BY the Associated Press

ARCADIA, Calf, Feb. 11.-Louis
B. Mayors fabulous 5000, 900 rae
ing stable virtually will be dissolved
at a klieg- lighted, Hollywood style
auction February 27-and all, in
siders say, because of filly.
The lady involved is Busher,
greatest winning filly 1884,
$3.50 Of all time. tt
Close observers declare that May
er's heart went out of racing when
Busher failed to come back, and the
evidence points that way.
Mayer bought Busher from Col
E. r. Bradley for $4,000 at the end
of her 2-year- -old season.
I'm 1945, as a 3-year-old, Busher
nearly swept the boards at Santa
Anita, Washington Park and Holly
wood Park. She became the darling
of the turf and of Mayors affec-
tions.
Then, after clinching horse-of-
the-year honors. Busher broke down
in prep for the Hollywood Gold
Cup.
During 1916 while Busher was
being nursed back to health at
Mayors model farm at nearby Per-
ris, the owners gloom was lessened
by the snappy showing of Honey
moon, another filly, but Honeymoon,
as was proved quickly when she got
back to Midwestern tracks, was no
Busher. 5,
Intensive plans were laid to bring
back the No. l filly at the 1867
Santa Anita meeting. Now q s.
year-old, she was nominated for
the 100000 Santa Anita Handicar
March l and all efforts pointed to-
ward that goal
On January 2 Busher was started
in 6-furlong sprint test. She ran
fifth in a field of six fillies and
mares she used to beat easily.
She was nominated for the $50, 900
San Pasqual, then scratched a few
hours before the race January IL.
On January 13 q Mayer spokesman
disclosed that IL. B. wants to sell
out and get out"

First Game in Renewal
OF Rivalry Slated at
Nashville Nov. u
By Lewis F. Atchison

| Maryland today announced the
signing Of a two-year football pact
with Vanderbilt, picking up the
threads Of a brief rivalry broken
after 1892 when the Commodores
punched out a 1910 victory over the
Terapins at Griffith Stadium. The
1S47 game will be played at Nash
vile, November %, with Vanderbilt
returning the compliment on Mary
lands grounds in '48.
The announcement by Jim Tatum,
Maryland coach and director of ath-
letics, focused attention on another
1947 schedule rhubarb among Dis
trict schools. Instead of working
out an equitable agreement for
sharing home dates for the benefit
Of all concerned, including the fans,
all the college elevens are either at
home or on the road.
Complete Schedule Soon.
Tatum tried to bring Vanderbilt
to Maryland this year because the
November date is wide open, locally.
But the Commodores were short of
home games themselves. 1t is pos
sible that Maryland will play a
game at Griffith Stadium, although
lit has not yet been decided when
or against whom. With nine games
booked, Tatum expects to add an
other before the weeks end when
the complete card will be announced.
Maryland's list of opponents in
cludes Duke, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia Tech, among others, and some
of these games will be played on
Friday nights at College Park. Old
Line officials found nighttime foot
ball profitable the last two years.
But the Terps would like to bring
one major opponent into Griffith
Stadium on Saturday afternoon
If it can be arranged.
Maryland will play no games at
Baltimore. 1t was planned to build
up the Old Liners in that city, but
games with top Southern Confer
ence rivals failed to attract enough
patronage to continue the arrange
ment and with pro football moving
in Maryland probably will confine
itself to College Park.
Terps Seek First Victory.
Tatum will send an Old Line elev-
en- against the Commodores for the
fifth time in November and will
be seeking Maryland's first victory
in the series. All except the last
were played at Nashville. Wander
bilt won the 1927 game, 1920, the
1880 battle, 22-7, and in 1881 by a
1912 margin.
The Commodores are coached by
Red Sanders, who Steered them to
five wins in nine games last au-
tumn. They bowed to Alabama,
1871; Kentucky. 10-7; Tennessee,
7-6, and Louisiana State, 14-0, and
whipped Mississippi, Florida, Au-
burn, N. c. State and Tennessee
Tech.

Greenberg Linked
ToYunks in Rumor

The return Of Bucky Harris,
manager of the Yankees, to New
York following a visit to his
Washington home was being
connected with rumors today
that Hank Greenberg, former
Detroit Tiger first baseman-
outfielder, may reconsider retire
ment and try to play for the
Yankees.
Greenberg was waived out Of
the American League and sold
for a reported $4,000 to the
Pittsburgh Pirates, who ap-
parently will be stuck for the
purchase price If the big slugger
definitely retires.
- Harris was managing Detroit
when Greenberg broke into the
majors. Bucky and Hank always
have been close friends and the
report Is being spread in New
York that Harris will make a
determined effort to land Green
berg,
