Iowa HoIfbuck Quits in Huff,
|ReIents and Hopes to Return

Carideo, the assistant coach, did not
report for practice yesterday, and
said that he wouldn't come back
out unless they ask me-"
However, later the Garrett Hill
Pa, gridder went to Anderson's home
to see if the coach would permit him
to return. Anderson had gone to
bed and Tunnel planned to see him
this morning.
car1deo said that Tunnel had
objected to tackling drill. When
Carideo told Tunnel that If he
didn't like to do what the other
players were doing, there was no
need of his being out, Tunnel
walked off the field, Carideo said.
Iowa, which has not been having
too successful season, sorely would
miss the 180-pound halfback who
is the teams leading scorer. He
took three of AL Di Marcos passes
for touchdowns in the Indiana game
and has a conference record OF nine
pass receptions for 100 yards.
"I would like to play those final
two games" Tunnel said, referring
to Saturdays game with wisconsin
and the final contest with Min
nesota.
Anderson said that Tunnel had
quit the squad because he didn't
like to do the work that the other
players were doing. 1--WE told our
squad at the start of the season" :"
Anderson said, that If any one
didn't want to take what the rest
of the squad was getting in practice
he could turn in his uniform"

Southern Conference
Grid Crown Coveted
By William and Mary
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 5.-No one
at Williamsburg is ready to talk
about it and there are still few
'ifs," but the Indians of William
and Mary have the Southern Con-
ference championship in sight as
far as some loop observers can tell
Those who see the mythical crown
in sight for the Indians admit that
the two teams pacing the, loop, Duke
and Washington and Lee, must be
knocked off if w. and M. is to head
the heap at the seasons end. And
further, the Braves will have to drop
three conference members in coming
games themselves.
The Indians have a total Of eight
conference games this season-two
more than any of the five other
teams heading the loop statistics,
That is one of the main factors for
flock of Indian fans thinking their
club viii, take the conference honors
Should Duke take both North and
South Carolina or should the Cen
erals come through their two re-
manning conference games un-
scathed, the Indian chances for the
championship are over. Otherwise
however, the circuit title will be
headed for Williamsburg.
With an eye toward taking the
first of the three conference games
they have coming up, the Tribe
overhauled its pass defense and
counted two first stringers as side
lined for Saturdays clash with

back Henry Blanc and Center Tom

zoeterman Chagrined
Over Chandler Edict;
Gets Dozen Offers
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Prep Pitcher
George Zoeterman, central figure in
the now settled feud between Leslie
O'Connor, Chicago White Sox gen.
eral manager, and Commissioner
A. B. Chandler, wants to forget the
whole thing, too.
The 17-year- r-old senior of Chicago's S
Christian High School, who signed
the controversial contract with the
White Sox for a $500 bonus last
September 6, said today he was dis
appointed that he won't get to play
for the club.
"I would like nothing better than
to have played for Manager Teddy
Lyons" declared the 170-pound
southpaw who twirled four no-hit-
ters in the last two years for Chris
tian in the private school league. Il
don't graduate until January 80 and
in the meantime I'm going to try
to forget the whole thing.
Since the issue came up seven
DAYS ago IL clubs have made me
offers. But I'm not doing anything
until after my graduation"
1--WE heard from every club except
the Cincinnati Reds, New York
Giants, Washington and, of course,
the White SoX."
Refusal to pay a $500 fine levied
by Chandler for failure to abide by
the rule forbidding signing of high
school players brought suspension
from baseball to O'Connor and the
White Sox club. The suspension
was lifted yesterday when the White
Sox paid the fine following an ap-
peal by Will Harridge, president OF
the American League, to the SoX
Board of Directors to refrain from
seeking court action in the case.
Under the commissioners edict
the White Sox are permanently pro-
hibited from dealing for zoeter-
mans services. He remains a free
agent until he Is graduated, then
the Is other league clubs will be
free to vie for his signature.
Zoeterman, who worked out
month in the Chicago Cubs base
ball school at Peru, Ill, and accom-
panied the Sox on the last road
trip last season as batting prac-
tice pitcher, said the offers he has
had since the case broke were all
much better than the Sox."
But 1 still would forget the extra
money If I could play for Ted Lyons
and the White Sox," he added.
The only stipulation the youth
will ask in any contract is that he
not pitch on Sundays.
A member of the Christian Re
formed Church, he said any such
activity would be contrary to his
re1ipio,ls beliefs.

9 Of 70 in 1947 Draft
Stayed Up All Year
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Of the 20
players SELECTED in the annual major
league baseball draft last year, nine
managed to stay up all season, al
though two were released after the
close of the campaign.

by. the Cincinnati Reds, and Cliff
Mapes, bagged by the New York
Yankees, we're recalled after spend
ing the 1947 season in the minors.
The best of the AS crop was

whom the Philadelphia Athletics ac-
ouired from San Francisco of the
Pacific Coast League for the AAA
draft price of $4,000.
Others who remained were Dick

Lu was advised to enroll at

ton under Clark Shaughnessy
as a primer for career with the
Bears. But for one reason or
another they didn't hit it off and
, Gambino last year was just
another number in a football
suit. It was limited by some un-
kindly critics that LUIS career
was hindered by his fondness
for the foaming brew. That made
him bristle.
"You can ask Mr.. Zalesak at
the Varsity Grill about that"
he said. 1--WE never touched

"Zal" is one of Maryland's un-
reformed old lacrosse stars and
sort of a landmark in College
Park. At a neat 301 pounds you
can take that both ways. 1t was
true, "zal" agreed. He'd never
seen Lu with so much as a check
for a short beer, much less a
cargo of brew aboard.
Well then, did Gambino have
an eye for the ladies?
He gave us a suspicious look,
grinned, and said no. He guessed
his best girl was his mother. but
admitted he danced more with a
certain Miss Mary Conn than any
other coed on the campus. Miss
Conn later was persuaded to pose
with Lu in front Of one Of the

| \ NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Michigan's
three week reign as major college
footballs total offense leader was at
an end today, with Penn State
current defensive leader-wresting
ofense hof1ofs from the wolverines.
The Penn Staters, who UP to last
Saturdays game had held the foe to
IA inches per play on the ground,
consequently have had much more
chance to display an offense, having
possession of the ball on an average
of two out of every three plays.
Michigan, meanwhile, which
started out like it was going to set
new offensive records, hit two stub
born opponents IN row-Minne-
sofa and Illinois-so dropped to Sec
ond place this week with rushing
and passing yardage average per
game of 4147, as against 427 for
Penn State.
Michigan Is Aerial Leader.
However, National Collegiate Ath-
letic Bureau figures today show that
Michigan, while admittedly playing
a tougher schedule, has averaged 6.6
yards per play by both rushing and
passing, while the Penn State aver
age is 6 even. Penn State continued
to lead rushing offense with 1862
yard average per game.
Michigan retains its forward pass
ing eminence, averaging 1882 yards
per game in the air as against its
sensational 22o two weeks ago.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.-The st. Louis
Browns had a new manager today
James Wren (zach) Taylor-to sue
ceed Herold muddy Ruel, whose
work was called unsatisfactory by
club officials.
Taylor comes to the Browns from
the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he
was a coach last season, but he is
well known in st. Louis. having pre-
viously served with the Brownie
organization. He has spent nearly
20 years in organized baseball.
Club President Richard c. Muck
erman, in announcing Ruels dis.
missal, said Muddy's contract, which
had one more year to run, would be
paid in full.
It was the second consecutive
time the Browns had hired a man.
ager for two years and fired hin
after one. Luke Sewell was relieved
shortly before the end of the 194t
season, less than half way through
his two-year contract.

come to terms. He said the contract
was for one year.

Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chan
dler to take over the managership
He took issue with a statement by
Muckerman that although the clut
finished last this year, material or
hand was sufficient for a first
division team. Ruel said he was
stunned" by the action, and added
"Mr. Muckerman said he was dis

club and disappointed in my work
Well, I couldn't deny that the show

II fell heir to a seventh-place
team, and I feel certain that ma
terial was not on hand to improve
the Browns position
Muckerman, who owns controlling
interest in the Browns, said the
decision to change managers was
voted by the clubs board of di'
rectors.
"All of us were disappointed ir
the showing of the team and Ruel'!
work" he said.
Pay Put at $4,000 Year.
Terms of Ruel's contract never
were made public. but it was be-
lieved to call for a salary of about
s25, 900 a year Terms of Taylor
contract also have not been made
public.
Taylor served as acting manager
of the Browns for a brief period ir
1946-after Seweu was released
until the end of the season. He hac
been coach with the st. Louis team
