With Cancer Of the Ear

LOS ANGELES. Dec. a.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, one
of the greatest pitchers in the
history of baseball, is in a hos
pital and doctors believe he Is
suffering from cancer.
Two years ago in st. Louis his
right ear was cut of in an at.
tempt to halt a cancer. Physi-
clans believe an injury the great
right-hander suffered in 1908 in
indianapolis when he was struck
by a pitched ball is partly respon-
sible for his condition.
Physicians say that incomplete
laboratory tests indicate cancer
Of the ear duct.
Alexander, now 81. was named
to baseball's hall of fame in 1888.
From 1911 to 1880 he piled up
373 wins, for an average OF 1875

Athletic Director Dick Larkins
said today he had heard reports
that there has been dissention on
the Ohio State Rose Bowl team,
but he branded them as com
pletely false"
Advised of reports that the
squad held secret meeting to
discuss various matters. Larkins
said:
Eyes, the squad did have a
meeting and the players called it
themselves to build their morale
to- beat California.
"There is not one kid on the
squad who has grippe or a prob
lem. Their morale is absolutely
splendid and if anything was 60
ing on I would certainly know
about 1t.
ANY report to the opposite is
as false as can be-"
The report was that the players
were dissatisfied with spending
money allotted them and some
supposedly were worried over the
possibility of Coach Yves Fesler
resigning after the game. Last
week Fesler disclosed he was con-
sidering quitting the coaching Job
to accept a lucrative offer in pri-
