Doc Carlsoai's PiH Blood Count
By BURTON BENJAMIN
NEA Service Staff
Correspondent
PITTSBURGH. March 13
"Just what the doctor ordered"
is providing University of Pitts
burgh basketball devotees with
as riotous a farce os ever con
cocted by Kaufman and Hort or
the brothers Msrx.
Broadway has missed the sea
son's best bet In tho bizarre
extravagonra perpetrated and
produced by Dr. Harold C. (Red)
Carlson, Panther coach.
Tho volatile red-head, who has
tutored Pitt dribblers for 20
years, has a flair for the out
lnndish. His Panthers have had
a dismal season, but Doc, with
the showmanship of Billy Hose,
has supplemented amusement
for victories.
His pet peeve Is "that guy
with tho whistle." Doc wishes
all officials would swallow their
horns and let the boys play the
game. His repugnance for offi
cialdom has led to a number
of refreshing fiascos.
PANTHERS LOOK ANEMIC
AGAINST CARNEGIE TECH
While his players sweated and
prestlg ebullders shed tears, Doc
took blood. Before the Carnegie
Tech game he lifted 25 c.c. s
from each player, 28 moro at
halftlme and 25 after the game,
a total of almost one-fifth of a
pint.
The boys were very cooper-
otlve as Doc checked blood
count, limits and henrts. Con-

OILERS GO TO AAU
PORTLAND, March 13 UP)
Signol Oil company's runner-up
bojkctball team In the Oregon
AAU tourney left this morning
for the national tournament at
Denver.
The champion Bradford team
left yesterday.
ard Waile, stymied by a priority
on corpuscles, ran the team.
The Pitts were weakened by
this bit of guinea pigging, but
Doc's only comment was, "Tech
played a nice game, and the
officiating was terrible," which
is par for the course.
"YOO HOO," CALLS
DOC IN HIS BANDANA
The West Virginia game was a
Carlson blitz. Both officials re
fused to be made fool of, which
was a naive premise, Indeed.
1 In tho frist half, they called
no less than three technical fouls
against the noble doctor, claim
ing he had been a bit bourgeois
In his remonstrations.
2 Incensed, Red marched up
to Referee Harold Allison, tossed
an assortment of sweat suits and
a water bucket at him, pointedly
remarking that the gentleman
had taken everything else away
from the Panthers, why not
make It a grand slam?
3 01' Doc then spent the
rest of the game in company
with a couple of Pitt coeds,
grabbed one gal's bandana,
draped It around his noggin,
stuck out his jaw and yoo-hooed
at the officials.
CONSOLES INCENSED
INDIANA COLLEAGUE
Wherf Indiana Coach Branch
McCracken stomped along the
sidelines raging at officials at
Pitt Pavilion, Carlson rushed off
the Pitt bench and in mock
gesture put his around Mc
cracken's shoulder, half-carried
him back to the Hoosier bench.
The crowd roared at the sight
of a confirmed official hater
soothing the wrath of a visiting
coach. Even McCracken forgot
his peeve and laughed. Carlson
spent the remainder of the half
on the Indiana bench, oblivious
to the proceedings, urging Mc
Cracken to help him "think up
all the names we can to call
those busm."
The doctor is as Ingenious as
he is unique. Once he plagued
officials by operating his own
whistle from the bench, causing
a brand of confusion never seen
bfore or since.
On another occasion, he or
dered hit team to show its dis
dain for zone defense by sitting
on the floor. This, too, caused
major repercussions.
Pitt supporters deny the valid
ity of tho most widely quoted
story about the Doc.
It has been alleged that sev
eral years ago when the timer's
gun fired to signal the end of
the half, some prankster in the
stands dropped a dead duck on
Carlson's neck.
They're probably saving that
for next season.

Indians, Beavers Clash
Tonight in First Playoff
PALO ALTO. Calif., March
13 UP) Beaten only once in 12
league games, Stanford's long
legged basketball players are
strong favorites to capture the
Pacific Coast conference champ
ionship from the Oregon State
Beavers in a three-game aeries
opening here tonight
Their superb record, their dis
tinct height advantage and the
home court all give the edge to
Coach Everett Dean's Indians,
perhaps the smoothest-operating
club since the days of Angelo
"Hank" Lulsetti. ,
Stanford, clearly the best out
fit In the southern division, drop
ped only a game to Southern
California. For the first time in
history, the Indians beat Uni
versity of California tn four
straight.
Oregon State, on the other
hand, had a bit more difficulty
in a scrappy northern division
campaign, losing five games.
Coach Slats Gill has a team of
veterans, among them big Cen
ter John Mandic who is a wizard
under the basket. Don Durdan,
OSC guard, is the boy who star
red on the Beaver football team
which beat Duke in the Rpse
bowl.
Stanford won the southern di
vision title last year but lost to
Washington State college in the
playoff.
The teams play tonight, to
morrow night, and Monday
night, should a playoff game be
necessary.

Sees No Rule
Tinkering
CHICAGO, March 13 (UPV
From a "poor cousin" that de
pended on football receipts to
help it make financial ends meet,
basketball has graduated into a
self-supporting sport and there's
little 'clamor for tinkering with
the rules.
That was a belief expressed
Thursday by Nels Norgren, Uni
versity of Chicago mentor and
president of the National Bas
ketball Coaches association, as
he prepared to leave for the or
ganization's annual meeting at
New Orleans March 18-19-20.
"A recent canvass of our mem
bership about the rules and sug
gested changes failed to bring
forth any radical proposals,"
Norgren said, "I believe most
of the coaches are relatively well
satisfied with the game as it is."
Webb-Colon Go
Tops Garden
Card Tonight
NEW YORK. March 13 (UP)
The light-heavyweight division
is in such a mess that tonight's
12-round bout between Jimmy
Webb and Johnny Colan will
have less significance than the
first battle for Benghazi, al
though the Madison Square Gar
den winner is supposed to get a
"title shot."
It's a shame, too, because it
should be an electrifying brawl,
if it's anything like their pre
vious melee just a month ago
tonight, in another Friday-the-13th,
when they battled to a
draw in the eight-round semi
final at the Garden.
This encounter is bound to be
torrid, but an additional dash
of Ice water was flung upon its
significance last night when the
173-pound king, Gus Lesnevjch,
as given a sound trouncing that
if Bivins won, the would get a
crack at the Lesnevich diadem
within 60 days. But, after the
bout it was reported that the
champlon'a manager, Lew Dia
mond the honest brakeman
declared that he was not inter
ested in a return match .

An Estimated $42,000
Yank Star Ends Holdout With Compro
mise; Barrow Says Figure 'Over $40,000' '
Br JUDSON BAILEY '
SJ. PETERSBURG, March 13 UP) Joe DiMaggio, bearntag
brightly from sunburn and happiness, waa safely in the fold. l
the New York Yankees today with the second biggest contract
ever given a member of the club.
The great centerfielder, who hit in 56 consecutive gemea last
season and was voted the most valuable player in the American
league, came to an agreement with President Edward G. Barrow
last night on a salary estimated at $42,000, an increase of I50OO
over his I94i stipend.
This was a higher salary
thai) the Yankees ever gave any
player other than Babe Ruth
and ended the No. 1 holdout
squabble of the 1942 baseball
campaign.
Barrow arrived here from
New York yesterday afternoon
and telephoned DiMaggio at
nearby Lido Beach, where he
has been vacationing with his
wife and baby. A conference
was arranged at Barrow's hotel
room last night and after an
hour-long huddle the pair smil
ingly announced that they had
reached a satisfactory compro
mise with-little difficulty.
Barrow admitted that he had
gone above the $40,000 offer
which he had termed "final"
last week, -but added, ""not very
much above." , ,
"I am happy, very happy, at
the way it came out," said Joe.
"I thought we might have a
battle, but it was all friendly
and I'm glad to get it over and
get to work;.
"1 didn't want to drag-these
negotiations out, but I earned
a raise this year and I don't
think anybody blames me for
asking for it." ,
