The player, Shellie McMillon of Bradley university, had fouled out of the game between his team and Loyola university of New Orleans. But McMillon, who had ob jected to previous foul rulings, angrily waved them off. Then he turned to the mixed crowd and stuck his tongue out at them. The white fans booed and hissed. The band struck up' "Dixie." McMillon, one of the few Ne groes ever permitted to play with whites in major collegiate athletics in the South, had con tributed 11 .points to favored Bradley's 71-65 loss to Loyola. As the lanky Negro finally left the court with eight min utes left to play the booing and hissing gave way to a chant to the tune of "Bye-Bye, Black bird." Comment Declined Loyola officials who pioneered desegregation of athletics at this site of a Negro's prospective con troversial participation in the Sugar Bowl football game, de clined to comment on the inci dent. The university, a Roman Cath olic institution, first lowered the South's color line on players in its home basketball games and last year ended segregation of spectators. Thus far, all-white Loyola"s games with teams bringing Ne gro players have been sole major exceptions to strict segregation of collegiate athletics here, as in the rest of the deep South. Last year Boston College brought a Negro player to the Sugar Bowl game with Tennes see but he did not go on the field. Loyola next week meets San Francisco university, whose top player is a Negro, Bill Russell, a native of Monroe, La.

Joe Kuharich Voted No. 1 Pro Mentor By BOB SERLING United Press Sports Writer Washington (U.R) Two years ago today, Joe Kuharich was an unemployed coach look ing for a job. One year ago today, he was employed but worried about keeping his job, after losing nine out of 12 games as head coach of the Washington Redskins. Today, big Joe is the United Press National Football League Coach of the Year, after his Red skins wound up as the surprise team of the 1955 season with an 8-4 record and second place in the NFL's Eastern Division. Picked By Writers Kuharich was picked by 15 out of 30 sportswriters who cov er professional football in 11 cities. Sid Gillman of the Los Angeles Rams ran second with seven votes, and other ballots were scattered among Paul Brown of Cleveland, Weeb Eu bank of the Baltimore Colts, George Halas of - the Chicago Bears and Ray Richards of the Chicago Cardinals. Kuharich's selection was al most a foregone conclusion after the job he did with the down trodden Redskins. Washington has not finished higher than third in 10 years, previously had only one winning season since 1945, and was given no chance as a title contender this year. Knocked Off Browns But under the ex-Notre Dame star's guidance, ,the 1955 Red skins knocked off the powerful Browns in the season's opener, and stayed in the running until the next to last week when New York eliminated them. Kuharich turned out to be an astute trader and a ruthless pruner completely rebuilding the Redskins in his first two years as coach. The rebuilding job extended even to the coach ing staff only Backfield Coach Mike Nixon remains of the as sistants Kuharich started with in 1954. Milwaukee (U.R) Marquette basketball Coach Jack Nagle should have taken tj advice of his scouting report on the San Francisco Dons. "After seeing this team my advice to you is simple: Cancel the game." Mar quette lost to the top ranked Dons, 65-58. o Prospectors Trip Loggers Prospect Prospect high's hoopsters pushed ahead after lagging in the first quarter and went on with a fine second half to overcome Butte Falls here last night 69 to 57. Butte Falls headed through the first quarter until the last minute when Prospect managed to go on top 15 to 12. The Cou gars then were in front 31 to 24 at the half and 53 to 40 after three quarters. : Bill Irwin of the BF Loggers was high point man with 30, firing with uncanny accuracy. Jim Daniels got 22 for Prospect. Don Vannice made 13 consecu tive free shots in collecting 21 points for the Cougars and was the big man in rebounding, plucking with a big total of 23.
