Big Ten teams in action at once for the first time in many years. | The list of likely candidates for the honors was shuffled consider- ably by the showing against strong non-conference opponents who in- vaded the Big Ten in force this winter. Iowa made much the best) showing against the devastating whirlwind from Pittsburgh, holding the Panthers to a tie in the regular time, but losing in the overtime per- : iod. Four other conference teams, » including some of the prospective! * eaders, fell by 10 points or better » beneath the Pitt machine. 7 Northwestern also came into some recognition by defeating No- tre Dame in a furious scramble, the first Big Ten team which has been able to accomplish this since 1925. Michigan Looks Good Michigan,. the 1927 title holder, has much the same combination a Bim this year with the addition of Raber as a dead shot at the hoop. be Harrigan and Bennis Qos- tei the football star, form the bra of the Wolverines’ scoring ma- chine. Indiana and Purdue, as yct un- tested against strong opposition, tied for second place last year and irdue has almost the same squad in the race again. Indiana has Cor- rell and Beckner back again for for- wards, but new men in some of the other positions. Ohio State was one of the casiest of the five conference victims of Pittsburgh. Wisconsin has not been beaten in any of its pre-season games, but has yet to go against a team that will test it to the limit. Minnesota’s prospects are brighten- ing under their new coach. * Had Stalling System . Chi has won three and lost two of its practice starts. Illinois went clear to the Pacific coast for » the bulk of its pre-season training, “ong ttt games out of three to the University off Washington at Seattle. The westerners had a per- fected stalling system that baffled Illinois.

VSS : LOGOS Sportsmanship Has Place in Pro Baseball CHAPTER 15 ee : In some quarters there exists the belief that sportsmanship is a trait that has no place in professional athletics. ; I cannot refute such an opinion too strongly. During the 22 years I have spent in the American league, I have seen any number of bits of true sportsmanship that compare favorably with the very best college brand. It seems to me very fitting that my final sport superlative should be dedicated to not a play, game nor individual but to this trait of sports- manship. ; Of course it is necessary that some partiailar person typify .sports- manship and I take great pleasure in handing the honor in this instance, to Manager Bill Carrigan of the Boston Red Sox. t Play That Troubled .
