THURSDAY,. JANUARY 3, 1946 NOSLIP YET FOR 'THELIP’ Durocher Signs for Eighth Year as Brooklyn Dodg- ers’ Bench Boss MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Jan. 3— Leo (The Lip) Durocher, back as the Brooklyn Dodgers’ 1946 man- ager, quipped today that the daffi- ness boys would finish among the first eight’in their eight-team Na- tional League. Hec ~was more optimistic in a telephone conversation last night with Dodger officials in New York —a talk that ended in agreement with President Branch Rickey to pilot the “Bums” for the eighth year. Durocher told Rickey he was “high” on the Dodgers’ pennant chances, and informed another of- ficial it was his No. 1 ambition to win a pennant under Rickey. His seven-year record is one pennant won, second place twice, third three times and seventh once. BUCKEYES' GRID MENTOR SWAPS JOBS WITH AIDE Bossman Widdos Says He Likes Second-in-Com- mand Post Better COLUMBUS, O, Jan. 3 — Ohio State University today had its fourth new head football coach in 12 years after an unprecedented swap in which the head coach and his assistant traded jobs. Moved up to head coach was Paul O. Bixler, 39, an assistant since 1941. Dropped back to assistant was Carroll C. Widdoes, 42, who in 1944 gave the Bucks their first perfect regular season since 1920 and a “Big Ten” championship and whose 11945 team lost only to Pur- due and Michigan. Widdoes also was named “Coach of the Year” in 1944. The Ohio State Athletic Board, which said it unanimously ap- proved the change, made public a copy of a letter from Widdoes in which he offered his resignation because “I have come to the con- clusion that I was better satisfied as an assistant than I have been as head coach.” CAGE GAME TOMORROW Basektball resumes tomorrow night after the holiday layoff. In the Juneau High School gym there will be the usual double- header and the games should prove to be good ones. Douglas High . takes on PAA. " Players on both teams are in trim to put up a fine showing, the Huskies having kept in fine fettle by taking on the Coast Guarders of the Cutter McLane. The Juneau Crimson Bears will go onto the floor and tangle with the Signacs. The game should prove to be worth the money, ai- though players have been taking it easy for the past two weeks. They should, however, work out their kinks in the first few minutes of play and get up to their old-line stuff. The first game is called for 7:30 o'clock. ————————— BASKETBALL The following are final scores in basketball games played last night: Muhlenberg 46; Princeton 36. Notre Dame 50; Purdue 48.
