Sterling 28 Hoosier Head Moves to Pros BLOOMTNGTON, Tnd., Feb. 20 - (UP) Indiana university today officially bade farewell to Bo Me Millin, its football coach for 14 . years, and scheduled a meeting of the board of trustees next week to consider selection of his successor. In a telephone poll, the eight-man board unanimously accepted Bo’s resignation from his $12,500 per year college post to shift to a $30, " 000 per year job with the profes sional Detroit Lions of the Nation al Football league. University officials revealed they planned to replace the grey-headed Hoosier coach with two men, one to serve as grid mentor and one as athletic director. However, it was more probable that before the In diana grid staff is complete for 1948, five men will have to be hired., Oregon ^Emerald SPORTS Don Fair, Fred Taylor, Co-Sports Editors Men Behind the Men One of the reasons that the Oregon State Beavers have kept in the pennant running this year is because of their capable reserve ma terial. Ernie Neal (above) six-foot one-inch forward, and Frankie ltoclandt. five-foot ten-ineli fireball guard, both juniors, are two of Slats Gill's substitute mainstays. Wiley, Wilkins Lead Five To Torrid Second Win By DON FAIR Oregon coach John Warren dug into his bag of reserve strategy last night and the Webfoots came out with 58-54 civil war victory over Oregon State before a capac ity crowd at McArthur court. The defeat put a big dent in the Beav ers’ title hopes, and the Ducks evened their wins and losses at six apiece. Starting a ball-control quint of Dick Unis, Bob Amacher, Roger Wiley, Stan Williamson and A1 Popick, the Webfoots played a de liberate brand of ball. At the nine minu'ie mark, with the count knotted 12-12, Warren inserted his speed merchants—Dick Wilkins, Jim Bartelt, Bob Lavey, and Reedy Berg, and they proceeded to run up a 31-25 intermission lead, which the Ducks never relinquished. With three minutes remaining in the first half, Oregon State held its last edge, 25-24. Wilkins tied the count for the fifth time with a free toss, and followed with a two-hand net splicer from 35 feet distant. Wiley and Berg added free throws, and Wilkins came back with a running hook toss to give the Webfoots the 31-25 bulge. In the second half the Aggies kept pressing the issue, but those b’g six points meant the ball game for Oregon, their second successive triumph over the Beavers this year. Oregon State crept up to 36-33, but Wilkins again delivered with one-hander after faking Cliff Crandall off. Bartelt, in a come back role, aced a driving lay-in to make it 40-34. The Beavers per sisted and narrowed the margin to 41-4C. Then it was Williamson who clutched in a cripple, and a pair of charities to up the margin to 46-40. Still not giving up, Alex Peterson of the Aggies dropped in a basket and two gift shots, short ening the Oregon lead to 47-44. But the Webfoots had the stuff, as Bartelt flipped in his favorite one-hand pusher from the key, Wiley added a free throw, and Lavey canned one from the key to make it 52-44. The Beavers nar rowed the gap to two points, 53 51 with two minutes to play, and again it was Bartelt who provided a squelching blow with a set shot behind the key. Williamson added a neat over his-head cripple, and a free toss to pull the Ducks to a safe margin, when the gun sounded, although the last minute-and'-a-half was filled with hectic action as the Beavers missed some do-or-die shots, while the Webfoots tried to stall out the verdict.
