Hannah first became associ ated with Michigan State col lege in 1033 as an extension specialist In poultry, when the institution was so small It was virtually unknown outside its home state. Now, after 11 years as Its president, Hannah has made it a major educational institution, kjiown around the world for its academic standing as well as for its athletic abilities. Hannah, a pleasant speaker with a tremendous capacity for thought and work, applied his energy to building a top rank ing educational plant both aca demically and athletically. When he had succeeded, and h id won membership In the Big Ten for Michigan State, he turned his attention to the reform of Intercollegi ate sports. Hannah served as chairman of the American Council on Ed ucation's committee of eleven which recommended drastic changes In basic policies to keep Intercollegiate athletics under control. Most basic, Hannah said, was the belief of the presidents that intercollegiate sports must be controlled by the presidents of the Institutions. "We on the committee have been accused of attempting to de-emphasize intercollegiate ports," he said. "That Is not true. We merely want athletics in its proper place. "A college student's primary purpose should be to achieve an education. Athletics should not Four Teams Tied ; For Boxing Lead Sacramento, Calif.

He rarely misses an athletic event on the Spartan campus. On spring afternoons, accom panied by one or more of his four children, he often sprawls in the bleachers to watch a col lege baseball game. From 1923 to 1948 he didn't miss a Michigan State football game, at home or away, but when this attend ance record was published he missed the next game deliber-' ately. "I don't believe my interest in athletics is of sufficient im portance to become a public at traction," he said. Hannah, now 49 years old, never participated in intercol legiate sports himself.

Yearling Trout Hauled From Several Hatcheries Game commission liberation tankers are now hauling loads of yearling trout from the Roaring River, Oak Springs, McKenzie, Cedar Creek and Butte Falls trout hatcheries so that a heavy stocking, of trout will be avail able for trout season opening. The 1952 production of year ling trout in game commission hatcheries totals 1,948,000 fish and liberations will be made from March through July to hit the peak of the trout season and realize the greatest return from these hatchery fish.. i Bulk of the yearling fish to be liberated in Oregon lakes and streams is 1,581,982 rainbow trout, Other yearling trout slated for release this spring Include 68,727 eastern brook for Cas- Bird Tournament At Portland This Weekend Champions from all parts of the U.S. and Canada will flock to the Oregon Open Badminton championships, to be held Sat urday and Sunday at Portland s Roosevelt high school. Leading the foray will be such nationally rated bird-swatters as Dorothy Hahn and Loma Smith, current national ladies doubles champions; Irl Madden. fifth ranking U.S, men's doubles player; Dick Bonesteel, south west and Texas singles cham pion and Bruce Benham, Can ada's No. 2 men's single champ. Local MAC feather chasers Chuck Cleveland and Russ Hill are rated strong contenders for the men s doubles crown and Stan Cicrlch and Mary Anne Wolfe will be out to annex the mixed doubles crown. Matches begin at 9 a.m. Sat urday morning continuing to 11 p.m. Sunday's matches start at 1:30 p.m. Tournament chairman Chuck Cleveland, says this year's Ore gon Open has attracted more nationally rated badminton players than at any previous meet.

(IP) Bob Drilling and Mario Pieretti shared mound duties for Port land Thursday as the Beavers turned in a 8-1 Pacific Coast league exhibition game victory over San Diego. Second baseman Eddie Basin ski accounted for 10 of the 22 putout assists credited to Port land. Jack Salveson and Bob Schulte, a rookie, were the San Diego hurlers.

Ev Shelton's Cowboys put on the heaviest practice session here, scrimmaging about an hour, but without scorers or ret eree. Santa Clara took a cas ual shooting drill. Wooden's Bruins turned on the speed in the practice, but did not scrim mage. In a Portland workout the Ok lahoma City Chieftains used Coast referees to familiarize themselves with Far West offic iating. The jinx has come around to haunt Wooden In post-season playoffs regularly. Time and again he has piloted his teams to the Coast conference South ern division crown, only to have something happen to a key player. This year It's Don Bragg who caught the frown of the jinx. The freshman forward injured his foot during practice after the club had whipped Washington for the conference title. Whether his loss will upset the smoothly operating Uclans remains to be seen. Another freshman, John Moore of Gary, Ind., will switch from his starting job at forward to take over Bragg's position. Hibler will step into the center slot. Bragg is with the team, and took a limping workout, but probably will not play. Officials at Oregon State college, the host school, antic ipated a crowd of 7,500 for opening night and close to a capacity turnout of 10,000 for .the Saturday night windup. cade lakes, 49,903 lake trout for Odell lake, and 161,727 coastal cutthroat trout for coastal and westside Willamette valley streams. A plant of 7,100 year ling Atlantic salmon, the first in Oregon waters, will be made in Davis lake. All 41,273 yearling steelhead held at Cedar Creek and Alsea hatcheries on the coast have been liberated. The 248,000 yearling silver and Chinook salmon reared at commission hatcheries have also been distributed. Yearling salmon and steelhead are re leased In February and March so that they can reach the sea before trout season opening. At Wizard Falls hatchery on the Metolius river, 37,500 Des chutes summer steelhead have been reared to yearling size and the fish are now being marked prior to release in the Deschutes river system. In addition to yearling fish production, about ten million trout fry will be released, main ly in lakes where the best sur vival of small fish is obtained The fry releases are described as primarily a thin-out operation to make room for next year's growing crop of yearling trout. Reino O. Koskl of the commis sion's fishery division, explains that the switch from fry and fingerlings to yearling fish pro ductlon is based on fish survival studies carried out by commis sion fishery agents. Returns as high as 50 per cent in streams and 80 per cent in lakes are being realized from the yearling trout plants while one and two per cent returns are the mpst 'Ob tained from fingerllng fish plants In streams. Hobson Wants 12-Foot Free Throw Lane Portland, Ore. (U,l!)Yale bas ketball Coach Howard Hobson said today he will advocate boosting the width of the free throw lane to 12 feet when hoop1 officials meet In Seattle next Wednesday and Thursday. The former University of Ore gon coach said the 12-foot lane would be the 'answer to critics who charge that present-day bas ketball is dominated by sky scraping players. He also said he would recom mend to the basketball coaches' conference that two free throws be awarded on all defensive fouls, without the opposition waiving the second shot. Hob son, who is chairman of the U S, Olympic games basketball committee, said the rule would make fouling unprofitable, Hobson stopped In Portland on his way to Corvallis for the western NCAA regional playoffs, FALSE ECONOMY is savings without service.

Bums Turn Down 250 Grand For 19-Year-Old Pitcher Miami. Fla. UR General Manager Buzz Bavasi said Fri day he has turned down an offer of 250,000 for a young pitcher in the Brooklyn Dodger larm system. The offer, he said, came from the Cleveland Indians despite the fact that the pitcher is sub ject to the draft. Bavasi did not name the young Hurler involved but the United Press learned it is John Podres, a left hander who was the most sensational pitcher in class D baseball last year. Although not on the roster of the parent club, Podres has been spring training with the Dodgers and baseball men who have seen him say he is destined to be one of the greatest. "He Is quick, sharp and has fine control," owner Bob Car penter of the Phillies said after watching him In an ex hibition game. "He should be a world-beater when he matures." Only 19, Podres won 21 while losing only three with Hazard, Ky., in the Mountain States league last season. He led the league in strikeouts with 228, only giving 37 earned runs in 26 games for a mark of 1.67 in y fnilil mi MiMtr'l Softball Fund Raising Protect Looks Promising It looks like Salem Is lo ins' to get a lighted Softball field at Bush's Pasture after all. At least the picture Is promising at this point la the drive to raise funds for such a project. Of the $3,500 needed to set up the lighted field, $900 has already been raised, and there hasn't even been a concen trated effort yet. That was the report made by Salem Softball association officers at a meeting with a group of players and tans at the 1'iMCA last night. The remaining $3,100 Will be raised (Softball officials hope) through pledget from players and fans. The pledges will work this way. Pledge cards will be distributed. Softball enthusi asts may mall their pledges to Randle Oil company, 3375 Portland road, or may be telephoned to 21471. If not enough money Is pledged In 60 days, the pledge then become non-collectible, and the project will be dropped.

PETERSEN i (United Praia SporU Editor) Bradenton, Fla. UH Tommy! Holmes' youth movement In his first full season as manager of the Boston Braves appeared on the verge of paying dividends today. Prospects are that six or seven of the 18 rookies he has in camp will make the club. We are, of course, shooting for the works," Holmes said, but I definitely have decided to go with kids this year, even if they cost us ball games. We found out last season we could n't win with what we had so we decided to rebuild. "It's 1953 and 1954 I'm thinking more about than 1952, but that doesn't mean we are conceding a thing this season. But when you have to go with youngsters you know they are going to make costly mistakes and I only hope our fans will stay loyal to us and give the kids a chance to develop. Then we are going to give them a real good ball club," Holmes refused to single out any of the rookies, claiming 'the field is wide open and every one of them has a chance to stay." The Braves' skipper is spend ing most of his time with the kid infielders, for the Boston inner defense last season was a sieve. "The infield is my big prob lem," Holmes admitted. "I'm hoping to come up with three kid infielders who can play third, second and short. We are set at first with Earl Torgeson, although George Crowe, rookie, is a mighty fine pros pect ana Is going to give Torgey a good battle for the job." Two of the most highly touted rookies are third base men Ed Mathews and Billy Klaus.
