- (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.,

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.
