Cravath abandoned the stricken ship, effective Jan. 1, climaxing an anti-Cravath, old grad offensive that mounted with Intensity as the Trojan grid fortunes wallowed and pitched during the past season. Cravath, senior coach in point, t Wanted i Hi MEL NUNES . .

As salvage, he will be paid an estimated $30,000 which the weal thy alumni agreed to dig up to buy off the two years remaining on his contract. Cravath, 47, made no direct men tion of the pressure brought against him by the alumni, but it Michigan Club Arrives in Cal Royal Greeting Given; Waldorf Drills Bears T A C A HTM A r,1!

Salanu Oik. Thtgday, Dtcambar 21, ItSO COIXEGK back They Definitely Want Lou Novikoff The Senators' guiding hands definitely are after Lou (Mad Bassian) Novikoff for two reasons. The rolly-polly outfielder with the noon face Is weU liked here on the strength of the wit and ability he exhibited as opposition last summer. And he can still whack a baseball a l"r piece. The directors feel that the addition - of someone who can sock a potful of home runs Is money In the bank. And since the Waters field left and center field fences are to be moved in considerably (this Is now definite), a gent of Novikoffs batting hue can't help but fill his pockets with HR's. Also, should Bob Cherry return next season he's sure to find the transplanted barriers much to his liking. The fences when moved will be 330 feet down the left field line from home plate, 350 feet in left-center and 370 feet in dead center. Cravath, one of the greatest linemen in Trojan history and the only alumnus ever to occupy the head coaching position, took over at USC in 1942. He guided USC to four Pacific Coast conference championships and into four Rose bowl games. He won the first two but lost the last pair, to Alabama and Michigan.
