Death Takes Bo McMillin Bloomington, Ind. (U.R) Al- vin Nugent (Bo) McMillin, be loved former coach of Indiana University and one of the most respected men in American sport died quietly early Monday of heart attack. He was 57 years old. McMillin was football coach at Indiana from 1934 until 1947 and athletic director in 1946 and 1947. The white-haired coach's fam ily was at his bedside at the time of his death. Took Leave Doctors said recently that he seemed to be improving from siege of ill health that caused him to take a leave of absence from his job as coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. He came to the Eagles after three seasons with the Detroit Lions. McMillin, one of the most col orful figures in collegiate foot ball history, was picked on Wal ter Camp s Ail-American team of 1919- and was a legend at Indiana where he was head coach for 14 years. Silver thatched "Bo" first gained fame as a diminutive quarterback on the storied Cen tre college team that humbled mighty Harvard and other '"big" teams of the early 1920's WSC Ski Team Captures Toga Stevens Pass, Wash (U.R) Washington State college's ski team placed high in every event to score 397.8 points and win the seventh annual Pacific North west intercollegiate ski associa tion championships here Sunday.

Prognostics tor Sees Little Hope for Cubs By MILTON RICHMAN Mesa, Ariz (U.R) One look at the Chicago Cubs is enough to produce that sinking feeling although Manager Phil Cavar retta staunchly insists he hasn't abandoned hope. I know we re not a bunch of world beaters," concedes Cavar- ratta, "but f don't think the pic ture actually is as black as some people paint it. Our catching is improved. we have a sound infield and If our pitchers come through, there's no telling how high we might go. If our regular pitchers like Bob Rush, Bob Kelly, Turk Lown, Johnny Klippstein and Paul Minner can win regularly, we'll have a much stronger team than most people expect." Appear Cellar Destined Off their spring showing, how ever, the Cubs appear destined to wind un in the National league cellar again, or at best, not far from it. The outfield is pathetically weak and even Cavarretta ad mits it is exceptionally thin on talent. Left - handed hitting Frank Baumholtz, who batted .284 last season, and long-ball belting Hank Sauer are the only out fielders assured of regular spots. Sauer, who smacked 30 homers and drove in 89 runs last year, gives Chicago most of its long distance punch. Castoffs Battle Battling for the third spot are such castoffs as Gene Herman ski, Bob Usher, Jack Wallaesa and Ron Northey, who has come out of retirement. Hal Jeffcoat, a holdover who hit .273 but batted in only 27 runs, may take the position away from all of them again. Behind the plate, Bruce Ed wards' chronically sore arm makes him a distinct question mark but Cavarretta is depend ing upon husky Johnny Pra- mesa, acquired from Cincinnati. Harry Chiti, a promising 19- year-old receiver up from Des Moines, might have inherited the first string receiving job i but he is Army-bound. Third baseman Ransom Jack son is the best man in the infield although rookie Leon Brinkopf, who hit 25 homers and drove in 93 runs for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast league, may de velop into a future star. Smaller Back Towering Roy Smalley, who has shown little improvement the past two years, will be back at shortstop, teamed up along side Eddie Miksis, who has im proved steadily since leaving Brooklyn last June. Lanky Dee Fondy is receiving a thorough trial at first base but is still badly fooled by sweeping curve ball pitching, After his front-line pitchers, Cavarretta intends to use Willard the Knuck Ramsdell, Joe Hatten, Cal McLish and perhaps Warren Hacker. Dutch Leonard, reliable 42-year-old knuckleball artist, again will head the relief corps Wid Matthews, the Cubs' shrewd director of player per sonnel, says he hopes the team can get by this year and then it. should be ready to move up. Chicago's future is bleak, to say the least, and its present isn t even as good as that Matthews Bills Portland Bouts Seattle (U.R) Seattle's Harry (Kid) Matthews will fight in Portland and San Francisco this month, his manager, Jack Hur ley, said Monday. The leading light-heavyweight contender will fight in Portland April 14 against an unnamed opponent, possibly Dick Wagner, and on April 28 he will meet Brooklyn heavyweight Georgie Kaplin.

Main and Riverside Phone 2-6189 Oakland Acorns Seen as Likely Winner in Coast League Chase Bt HAL worm San Francisco (U.R) In the usual blaze of opening-day ceremonies, the Pacific Coast league starts its 1952 campaign Tuesday with about 40,000 fans expected to witness the first ffames in San niocrn San Fran- cisco, Hollywood and Sacra mento. Remembering that your re porter failed to nick the winner last year, Seattle, but did go on Jay hawks. Explorers Vie Tonight New York U.R) A clear-cut claim to the national college championship awaits the winner of . basketball's "dream game" Monday night between NCAA champion Kansas, led by record busting Clyde Lovellette, and La Salle's surprising Explorers, winner of the National Invita tion tournament. it's the first time in seven years the champs of the two big tourneys have been brought to gether, and Kansas was rated a slight favorite. In addition to the unofficial but undisputed national crown, the winner of Monday's clash also will receive seven indivi dual places on the U. S. Olympic basketball team that will play at Helsinki, Finland, this summer. . AAU Quints Tangle The remaining seven Olympic berths go to the winner of the other semi-final game of the Olympic tournament Monday night between the nation's two best AAU teams, the Peoria, 111., Caterpillars and the Phillips Oil ers from Oklahoma. "Power Tower" Lovellette, the six-foot, nine-inch marvel who has almost completely re written the scoring record book, is the reason why Kansas is a alight pick over the hot-shooting Explorers from Philadelphia. La Salle must stop him to win, though that's something that many other fine teams have fail ed to do. Near Record Big Clyde needs to score only eight points in Monday night's fray to smash another all-time scoring mark the one-season record of 831 points set by Dick Groat of Duke in the 1950-51 season. What's more, La Salle may have to get along without its best defensive big man six- foot, five-inch Negro star Jack Moofe. The rebounding whiz was at the bedside of his criti cally ill mother in Philadelphia and was delaying his decision oh whether to come here Monday until the last possible moment. Coach Ken Loeffler of La Salle was frankly banking on Moore as ' his chief weapon against Lovelette. In Saturday night games Kan sas downed Southwest Missouri 92 to 65, LaSalle defeated St. John's 71 to 62, the Phillips Oilers nicked Fibber McGee and Molly 50 to 48 and the Peoria Caterpillars tripped Tinker Field 71 to 67. record as being the only base ball prognosticator in captivity who picked the last place club, San Francisco, we'll go out on the limb again this season with this fearless forecast: 1. Oakland Acorns. 2. Seattle Rainiers. 3. Los Angeles Angels. 4. Hollywood Stars. 5. Portland Beavers. 6. San Francisco Seals. 7. San Diego Padres. 8. Sacramento Solons. May Be Easier Picking winners in the Pacific Coast league may be easier after the 1952 season, because from now on the club owners won't have to sell off .their stars to avoid losing them in the draft. As of right now, not a single team in the circuit is "set" for the pennant chase. All managers are hoping fervently for addi tional help and every club, with the possible exception of San Francisco, is crying for pitch ing aid.- The selection of the Oakland Acorns for the top spot is based upon the remarkable ability of Owner Brick Laws to get what he eoes after. He has two of the most sought-after outfield-1 ers down from the big leagues in Sam Chapman and Danny Lit whiler; he got a great young first baseman in Tookie Gilbert, and he has a fine all-round in field. The club still needs some pitching and catching strength but count on Laws to get these. Pitchers Needed Seattle, Los Angeles and Hol lywood are pretty well set with the exception of the pitching de partments. Manager Stan Hack at Los Angeles still wants an ex perienced third baseman, and the Stars still are unsettled in the outfield, too. On paper Portland doesn't appear to be very strong, but the Beavers have been very good in spring exhibitions and they have a great minor league manager in Clay Hopper who has finished in the first division 18 out of 20 years. San Francisco, with a complete new roster, looks very weak on paper with the exception of the mound stuff. The infield isnt settled and there are ' some doubts about the hitting ability of the outfield. San Diego, beaten consistently in spring exhibitions, doesn't ap pear to have a first division com bination unless a lot of addition al help is obtained for both the infield and outfield. Sacramento has a flock of ex big leaguers on its roster who. should do well during the first half of the campaign. But the bench is slim and unless Man ager Joe Gordon does a reju venation Job, he is going to have trouble holding the gang togeth er when the hot weather hits. Right now the families left homeless by the week-end tor nado in the south are being fed and sheltered by your Red Cross. Later, there will be homes to rebuild. You can help give to your Red Cross.
