AS Cincinnati Coach
BY the A.soeiotsd Press

CINCINNATI. Dec. 8-Ray Nolt-
ing, who sought to give the Uni
versity of Cincinnati "big time" foot
ball, has been ousted as head coach
and assistant professor in UC's
teachers college.
The university's Board of Direc-
tors voted unanimously yesterday
not to renew Nolting's coaching con-
tract, which expires in February.
The same vote applied to the 35-
year-old mentors assistant profess
sorship, which also is up in Feb
ruary.
The boards action came after a
year of rumblings against the for
Imer Chicago Bear halfback, capped
by the poorest grid season IN his
four-year regime. The 1948 Bear
cats lost six games, won three and
tied one.
Before going into regular session
the board offered Noting chance
to resign but he refused. Later he
told newsmen he would "take any
necessary steps" to retain his as
sistant professorship, including
asking an investigation by the
American Professors Association"
Noting, a UC graduate. played
with the Bears of the National Foot
ball League for nine years.
His four-year record at Cincin-
natl showed "a victories, Is losses
and one tie. His best season was
in 1916, when the Bearcats notched
eight wins as against two losses and
then won over Virginia Tech in the
Sun Bowl.

Films Of Ram Game
Make Redskin Faces
Redder Than Ever

Coach Turk Edwards had another
look at last Sundays Redskin-

decided that certain players either
laid down or simply didn't have the
ability to meet f1rst-class competi-
ton.
That's the way it looked to me in
the pictures" he said. Either GER
tain boys don't have what it takes
or they didn't try very hard"
The message was relayed to the
squad by Turk, personally, at
closed meeting last night. The film
was unspooled again for the players
benefit while strategy, tactics and
performances were rehashed and
there were some red faces when the
session adjourned.
Edwards and the staff hope the
squad will redeem itself Sunday
against the Giants at New York. A
victory would give the Tribe record
Of seven victories against five defeats,
. respectable record for the year,
and also would help erase the mem

That's the easiest question
you've asked me-" said Bill Wood,
without a moments hesitation.
''The biggest bowling upset
we've had around here happened
the year Hokie Smiths King Pin
team beat out Fred Buchholz's
Occidental team for the District
championship"
The incident occurred in the
season of 1884. Hokie Smith
had AL Woods, Bill Miller and 4
Lou Pantos for three of his men,
and the opposition included
Dutch Newman, Earl McPhilomy,
Joe Harrison, Jack Whalen, Astor
Clarke and probably Joe Pricci.
Bill wasn't sure Of all the names.
"Buchholz took great pride in
his team" Wood resumed. USED
to bowl regularly himself, and
treated his boys like kings. But
they just couldn't hold of that
King Pin outfit. 1t was a great
bunch Of team bowlers. Only
Hokie himself was q real star.
Those Occidental names, of
course, were the Babe Ruths, Lou
Gehrigs and Hank Greenbergs of
bowling. ANY time they got
licked it was bannerline news in
the pin world.
Clarke, who for six straight
years was ranked No. / on duck
pins, probably was the worlds
most confident bowler" continued
Bill. He'd step out on the alley
with the attitude that he was the
man to beat and he never seemed
to think anybody would top him.

went along"
He's kingpin of the District

Lions Whip Ramb|ers;
Fines Are Returned
To Improved Club

The $50 fines charged against
the Washington Lions hockey play
ers six weeks ago were returned last
night as symbols of the new and
improved style of play they've
shown In the last few weeks. Coin
cidental with the return Of the
money to each player was the end
ing of the Lions seven-game win
less string, as they edged the New
Haven Ramblers, 5-4, in good, fast
game before 1,648 at Uline Arena.
Remission Of the fines had moth
ing to do with the victory, however.
Coach Frank Beisler had decided
before the game that his players
deserved to get their money back
and the checks were all prepared
for distribution after the game,
win or lose.
II told them when they were fined
before that they would get It back,
when their play improved" said
Coach Beisler. They've buckled
down to work and they're as good
as any team in the league now"
Last nights game showed that
the Lions just about have made a
complete changeoyer from last
years style of play. Then they were
a mild-mannered, fancy-passing
crew. Now they are a rough, fight
ing team, that takes no stuff from
any one. The customers like It, and
If the Lions keep it up the crowds
should improve.
It was a rough game last night.
Each team had a player kayoed, and
in the first period Frank Porteous
of the Lions and Chick Webster Of
the Ramblers found it advisable to
drop sticks and gloves and try a
little boxing on the ice.
The victory also was important in
that it drew the Philadelphia
Rockets into a last-place tie with
the Lions. The Rockets lost to
Indianapolis. e-6, and st. Louis beat
Hershey, 6-2, In other games last
night.
A goal by Paul Mundrick In the
last second Of the first period gave
the Lions a 81 lead they never sur
rendered. Kenny Schultz assisted
on that and otherwise scored twice
himself to lead the assault. What
proved the clincher, however, was a
tally by Norm Burns, the old Wash
ington Eagles star playing his first
game with the Lions. He scored
midway through the final to give
the Lions q So edge that withstood
a late two-goal rally by the Ram
blers. In the last minute and half
the Lions STAYED of a six-man
Rambler assault. Win Mousseau Of
the Lions was in the sin bin for
tripping and the Ramblers withdrew
their goalie and put an extra for
ward on the ice.
