Reporting on the basketball set

val air technical training center,
Yeoman Carolus G. Anderson
sayi that come 1500 sailors and
marines competed on 150 intra

' "While the south is no basketball
hotbed," he adds, "the navy is
doing its part to scatter seeds for
future growth." . . . And when
you think that Florida alone has
hundreds of other military estab
lishments, nearly all with court
teams and leagues, it appears
that there'll be more to the her
alded post-war sports boom than
just a few more folks going to
games. ... It may mean real
popularity for some sports in sec
tions that never paid much at
tention to them before.

Whitey Gruhler, Atlantic City
(N.J.) Press-Union: "Bowler Tru
man Carey was so angry when a
pocket-hit produced a 5-6 split
that he grabbed a ball off the
rack, set it down at the foul line
and kicked It down the alley.
And what do you suppose hap
pened: He made the 56 split. . .
Guess you could say that's one
shot that was made with a foot

New Defensive Ruling
Stratospheric George Mikan Blocks
Too Many of Dartmouth's Sure Shots
NEW YORK, March 29 (JP) After watching one towering
player bat away 17 rival shots in a single game, officers of the
national basketball committee have decided to cut down the
tall athlete's defensive prowess.
The officers approved an experiment for next season where
by Jt will be a violation "when a player touches a try for goal
on its downward arc above the level of the basket"
Announcement of the experiment followed by only three
days the performance of George Mikan, Depaul university's 0-
Ted Norbert
To Pitch For
Americans
PORTLAND, March 29 (IP)
The Portland Beavers of the
Coast league will be without the
services this year of Ted Nor
bert, top batter in the league last
season.
The big outfielder was sold to
Milwaukee if the American as
sociation. William H. Klepper,
Beaver business manager, an
nounced Pitchers Roy Davis and
Daniel L. Brainard, Second Base
man Stanley Rogers and Infield-er-Outfielder
Ted Gullic plus an
undisclosed cash consideration
were received' in return.
Norbert, who topped the
league with, a .378 average and
28 home runs last year, could
not come to terms with the Beav
ers. Klepper said the deal also
was undertaken J;o solve the sec
ond base problem".
Odell Hale, second baseman
purchased last winter from Mil
waukee, notified Klepper he
would -remain on his farm for
the duration.
Cicero of the Chicago Cardinals,
made a speech for the Great
Lakes gobs recently, Lieut. Com
mander Russell J. Cook present
ed him with a shiny belt of the
kind that Nat Fleischer doles out
to boxing champions. ... It
seems that when Jimmy was at
Great Lakes during the other
World war and was somewhat
more slender than he is now
he had won the a middleweight
title of the station.. . . Only Com
mander Cook remembered that
Jimmy never had received the
belt, and he got a better laugh
than any of Conzelman's gags by
insisting that the "champ"
should try it on as soon as it
was presented.

As Harry Leeding of the Ore

two quite different points of
view on USC Athletic Manager
Arnold Eddy's suggestion that
the coast football conference be
split for the duration. Eddy sug
gests a north and south division
with the teams in the respective

ies. This is all right with the
average fan, thinks Leeding. The
average fan figures curtailment
is inevitable and figures that any
football is better than no football

making ends meet, can't accept
