newly named Minnesota football coach, slid into town today on a near-blizzard, and said he's already starting to think about the Gophers' opening games next fall California at Berkeley and Washington at Minneapolis. Hut Fesler sold he Is optimistic about the (iophers' future, "although it'll be a freshman roach with a freshman team" when the I'Jiil season opens. And he added, "I'm going to keep on with the type of football I have been teaching until it's proved to me that it's not successful." That comment came at his first press conference with Minneapolis and St. Paul newspaper men. It was in response to a query whether he would be giving Minnesota the same type football he has taught at Ohio State.

Fesler said he could make no announcements about his coaching staff except that he is bringing Lyal Clark, Ohio State line coach, and Dick Fisher, backfield coach, with him. "I'm looUIng forward to getting In some winter football practice but can't say Just hen. After all, I've been In town only a few hours and haven't had much time to look things over." The new Minnesota grid said he plan3 to return to Columbus Tuesday. Ha talked on a lot of subjects during the press conference. "One thing Is sure," he said, "I want to make sure we a good harvest of high school football stars this and every year.

I want some power boys but I also want plenty of good runners. I don't think I'll stress power quite as much as Minnesota has done before." He emphasized that today's "crazy football game is wide open" and that's why he wants to put speed into his first Minne-nota team when it makes its debut next fall. Fesler said he was pleased with the Minnesota athletic plant, and he beamed at the knowledge a mammoth indoor fieldhouse would be available for winter practice. "We didn't have that at Ohio State," he aaid. The Referee by Bob Husted Happy Here As UC Coach, Gillman Says BV DICK FORBES.

Sid Gillman's well-worn brown hat, which already has been tossed into several rings for possible football coaching jobs, landed squarely in the middle of the now-vacant Ohio State arena yesterday. Gillman confirmed the fact that he would appear in Columbus for lalks with OSU Athletic Director Dick Larkins, although he admitted he was surprised at being considered. The University of Cincinnati coach, whose contract has six of eight years to run, said "I found Larkins' letter in my mailbox at the university this afternoon (yesterday) after returning from a trip. "I talked it over with Chic Mile-ham (EC Athletic Director), then telephoned Larkins that I would visit him in Columbus. I want it understood that I haven't applied for the Ohio State Job, and am not looking for a job.

I'm very happy right here at Cincinnati, but I do want to hear what Larkins to say." Mileham also said he had discussed the situation with Gillman, and seemed confident that UC was in no danger of losing its popular mentor who came here in December, 1948, as a successor to Ray Nolting. "We would feel slighted if they didn't want to talk to Sid, since Ohio State is screening all the good coaches," Mileham said. "We're proud to have a coach of Sid's caliber to draw the interest of other schools. However, we don't want to lose him." Both Gillman and Mileham said "our relationships have always been perfect" in pointing out that they had discussed the situation together before Sid decided to appear for the interview. It was the second time in two years that Gillman's name had come up in connection with the Ohio State job.

In December, 1949, just before the Buckeye-California 1950 Rose Bowl game, a Columbus newspaper reported that Fesler would resign his job and be succeeded by Gillman. Fesler, however, signed a new contract and continued coaching at Ohio State until his resignation last month. Browns Pick Northern Site Just In Case St. Louis, Jan. 26 (AP) Charles DeWltt, Vice President of the St.

Louis Browns, said today that his club has made arrangements with Cape Girardeau, city officials to train there this spring In the event of war travel restrictions. DeWitt emphasized that the Browns are scheduled to train at their regular camp In Burbank, and only an emergency would change that. He said the Brownies have signed a new three-year contract to train at Burbank In 1952, 195S and 1954. The contract provides that the Brownies could change with other clubs during those years. The Brownies trained at Cape Girardeau In 1943, 1944 and 1945.

They won their only pennant In 1944. Ott, Foxx Deserve New Honors. THERE WILL BE no complaints over the election of Mel Ott and Jimmy Foxx to baseball's Hall of Fame.

Gillman shifted to Army after a nighty successful career at Miami I'niversity of Ohio, after which he went to Cincinnati on a long-term contract which has six of eight years to go. Gillman is rated an excellent coach. Meanwhile, today, the screening committee chatted with Warren Gaer, Drake University's "Missouri Valley Coach of the year." The group also will see Massillon (Ohio) High School's Charles (Chuck) Mather Saturday before talking to Brown.

EVENING But most of the interest centers about Brown's evening session, for the coach of Cleveland's five-time professional champions is the most controversial figure in the picture. He's either the "first or the worst" candidate, with few of the fan placing him anywhere between those extremes. It was noted today that some Ohio State students are taking a hand in the selection of a new grid tutor. Notices were posted on bulletin boards of campus buildings today, announcing a "Welcome Brown Back" student rally in front of the Faculty Club where Brown will have dinner with the athletic board. The bulletins j-ead: "Welcome Brown Back! This Saturday Evening, 5:30, in front of Faculty Club building.

Rally! Be There!" Another top flight coach popped Into the picture with rumors that Earl Blaik of West Point had been invited for an interview. A spokesman for the Screening Committee, when asked about the report, replied: "I can only reiterate the committee's policy. The committee does not announce the names of those contacted until an interview has been agreed upon. And no interview date has been agreed upon with Mr. Blaik." Blaik, a resident of Dayton, Ohio, is a graduate of Miami University at Oxford, as are Brown and Harry Strobel, OSU frosh coach who was first interviewed by the board.

Woody Hayes, present Miami coach, is scheduled to be screened by the board next week. the greatest natural hitters the game has produced, ranked third with 162 votes, eight short of enough for election. Each of the writers was entitled to vote for 10 players, all of whom had to be out as active plavers during -1': differs largely from that elsewhere. They can second guess as well as the rest and will be looking for results. Some are Inclined to think Fesler was forced out at Ohio Slate in lieu of developments.

Such Is not the truth. The university manifested its good intentions toward Wes by awarding him a full professorship in the College of Physical Education which was another way of taking care of him for life. Perhaps Fesler will find his football Utopia in his new surroundings. However, a rugged league like the Big Ten, where the competition is regarded as the toughest in the college game, is not apt to be conducive to that end. WHETHER OR NOT Paul Brown is asked to return to Ohio State as head grid mentor remains to be seen, but the fact he accepted an invitation to visit Columbus today and discuss the possibility with Dick Larkins, Athletic Director, makes it apparent he would quit the pro game should the inducements be right.

Many cannot figure his giving lip his lucrative post with the Cleveland Browns where as coach and general manager his annual stipend far exceeds that of any football tutor In the college sport. However, Precision Paul always has been a rah-rah guy at heart. The atmosphere of professional football is not altogether to his liking. Today his financial circumstances are such he could afford to make the switch if the opportunity appealed to him. It is not our purpose to discuss here the differences between Brown and the athletic administration at Ohio State.

We have gone over that ground before. Suffice it to say, we don't imagine Larkins was exactly happy over having had to invite Brown to Columbus. And as we get It said invitation was ordered sent to Brown at the direction of Howard L. Bevls, President of the university. Daily Bowling Is On In Petersen Classic Chicago, Jan.

26 (AP) The $48,800 Petersen Bowling Classic swings into dally competition after two week ends of pin-blasting produced Iouls Oles, St. Claire Shores, as the current leader with a 1,55 count. The meet which offers a top prize of $8,000 closes Sunday, February It. Oles rolled his pace-setting total on Sunday, January 14. Second In the current standings are Bill Bull, Pontiac, and John Henehan, Dayton, Ohio.

Tied for fourth at 1,495 are AI Sirlanna, Detroit, and Vic Bockrath, Detroit. Babe Ruth garnered more. Ott had the advantage of the short right-field stands at the Polo Grounds. Being a pull hitter he made the most of it In the 22 consecutive seasons he played for the Giants. Foxx needed no help from abbreviated barriers.

In our book none hit a longer ball, not even Ruth. We recall the fifth game of the 1930 World Series between the Athletics and Cardinals in St. Louis. THE CONTEST WAS a scoreless tie going into the eighth inning. Burleigh Grimes was pitching for the Cards.

He walked Mickey Cochrane with two down. Up came Foxx. Jimmy ran the count two and two. Then Grimes bluffed a spitter. Ol' Burleigh went- through all the motions of dampening the ball, but what he was going to do was throw a Curve in hopes of fooling Foxx.

But Jimmy didn't fool worth a cent. Instead he correctly guessed Grimes was going to deliver his curve. Last seen the ball was still going. The elongatetl homer won the ball game for the Athletics, 2-0. And the most disgusted Individual In Sportsman's Park was Grimes, who never lost any other way but hard.

REVERBERATIONS OF WES Fesler's taking the head coaching football job at Minnesota continue to echo through the sports realm. Just goes to show anything can happen there. Certainly Fesler's action will take precedent as the biggest surprise of 1951. No grid ciach stressed more the drawbacks of tutoring football in the high places in giving his reasons for bowing out at Ohio State. The "win or else" demands of rabid alumni, the wild howls of the second guessers and the like led Wes to apparently wash his hands of the whole distressing business.

The strain of combating such nerve-rending aggravations were supposed to have impaired Fesler's health and made it essential that he give it the pitch for a less strenuous way of making a livelihood. But today finds Fesler right back in the "ulcer league." If Hadacel doesn't put in a claim for being responsible for such a remarkable and rapid recovery it is missing a good bet. MINNEAPOLIS IS not to bo compared with Columbus as a hotbed of football. Neither is it a graveyard for coaches. Bernie Bierman had coached Minnesota elevens for almost two decades when ha called it quits Such factors naturally figured in Fesler'3 decision to take over p.t Minnesota.

That and his fondness for working with youngsters who have the physique and yen for playing the game. Yet while the demands for victory may not be so insistent in the Twin Cities, it is not saying the Minnesota alumni With Don fielirmann Favored To Raff Wanamaker Mile For His 3(ifh Win. New York, Jan. 26 (AP) The Millrose Games first of five major indoor meets at Madison Square Gardenare on tap Saturday night but the expected crowd of 15,000 probably would show up If the promoters scheduled only the Wanamaker Mile. That one pits Don ehrmann against Fred Wilt.

And Don Is favored to take his Sfith mile race In a row he hasn't been beaten since the Olympics. The pair have met four times and Gehrmann, a 120-pound graduate of the of Wisconsin, has raptured all four races. Including last year's you-won-lt-no-I-won-lt affair. It took almost a year to decide once and for all that Gehrmann was the winner. Both were clocked in the fastest cither ever has traveled the route.

Both Wilt and Gehrmann will be shooting for something the FBI man to prove he can get in front and stay there and Gehrmann for a record. The meet mark, and incidentally, the world indoor standard, is 4:05.3 set by Gil Dodds three years ago. Maybe Don won't go all out this time, but a lot of coaches predict he'll lower it before the season is over. PAY HIKE Is Given To Seminick GOLF UPSET Pulled By Ohio Girl, Clancy Is Worried Over Hawks Club BY WHITNEY TOWER. Mohawk Hockey Coach King Clancy no longer is kidding himself about how easy his Cincinnati sextet will make the American Hockey League Calder Cup Playoffs in March.

In fact he's so worried about how he's going to get the Mohawks to start a sustained winning streak, that he's doing little kidding at all. "Sure we win a couple here und there," said Clancy yesterday, "but then we loso a couple, and aren't making any headway to speak of. If you figure Cleveland for first place in our division, the other two spots should be filled by either ourselves, Pittsburgh or Indianapolis and It looks to me as if we'll hnv'e to win It ourselves, for nobody Is going to give us an Inch." A glance at the league standings did nothing to boost King's optimism. "Here we are tied for second with Pittsburgh, but look at those Caps, just one point behind us and perking on a seven-game winning streak. We're the lowest scoring club in the league, we're the socond best defensive club in the league, we've got some of the best talent in the league but when game time rolls around, we're often not working together the way a winning combination should." Clancy acknowledged that Jackie Gordon's departure to the New York Hangers has nurt.

the Mohawks considerably. "Just the same," he added, "there's no use in crying about Gordon, or about. 3nn Denis' injured arm, or about the failure of last year's lop scorers to come through with the goals. We're going to get along with what we've got as host we can. If we work together, we can make those playoffs-but if arc; defeatists now, we'll never win another game." The Hawks, with an off-night in league play tonight, journev to Troy, Ohio, for an exhibition tilt with the Miami" Valley Bruins, a high-scoring amateur club.

They'll be back Rt the Garden Sunday to entertain the Cleveland Barons. In six previous games between the Ohio rivals, each team has won three. Nine Horses Listed For $50,000 Race Arcadia, Jan. 26 fAF) Nine three-year-olds, including California's hope-of-t he-year for the Kentucky Derby, were named today for Saturday's $50,000 San Felipe Handicap, seven-furlong feature at Santa Anita. Mrs.

But. top-weighted at 126 pounds, he faces probably the toughest test of his career, giving away four to It pounds to the best of the field. He's almost certain to be favored despite the weight, both because he's well-liked locally and because he's coupled in the betting with Mrs. Frank Frankel's Frends-wood, both trained by Carl Roles.

Gold Capitol's two best victories nave been In the California Breeders Champion Stakes here opening day and the Starlet Stakes at Hollywood Park at a mile and one-sixteenth. The San Felipe will test his sp-ed at a shorter distance. Ralph Neves will be abroad. C. Martin's Phil which won the Laddie Stakes at Hollvpark and beat Rough n' Tumble and Mohammedan in a San Felipe tuneup last week is a lop contender, along with Rough n' Tumble, Replete and Gold Note.

Rough Tumble won the Primer Stakes at Chicago and was third in the Belmont Futurity. Gold Note is unbeaten in two starts here and Replete hasn't been out of the money in three tries.

However, many of the writers voted for only three or four players. Others who came close but missed were Outfielder Harry Heilmann of the Detroit Tigers with 153 votes; Bill Terry, the first baseman of the New York Giants who got 148, and Dizzy Dean, the St. Iuls Cardinal pitcher, whose meteoric career was cut short by an arm Injury, who received 115 votes. None of the others got enough votes to come close. Ott, the five-foot nine-inch timid kid from Gretna, who looked like anything but a home run slugger when he reported to the New York Giants as a 16-year-old in 1925, broke record after record during the career which found him blasting the last, of those 511 homers in the 1916 season.

He never worked for any other club, either in the majors or minors, until he signed up to manage 1he Oakland, Pacific Coast League club during the baseball meetings at St. Petersburg, Fla last month. (. 5. To Face Britain In Cup Play Again Phoenix, Jan.

(AP) Miami's Orange Bowl probably will join the $100,000 per team payoff class for its next game. Grover Morrow, President of the Orange Bowl, said today at an Atlanta Touchdown Club Jamboree that for the last four Orange Bowl games the payoff had been only $75,000 per team. Morrow said he would recommend to the Orange Bowl Committee that the pavoff be increased to between $90,000 and $100,000 for the January 1, 1952, event. He said he felt sure his committee would approve the increase. Present seating capacity of the Orange Bowl is 63,000 and another enlargement probably will be made when the government lifts its ban on amusement construction.

Morrow emphatically denied that the Miami extravaganza would turn to professional teams In place of college teams. "Some of our 50 committeemen," Morrow said, "publicly said several weeks ago that the Orange Bowl game might become an all-professional show. This is not true and such a statement never was approved by the official committee."

Miami, Jan. 26 (AP) A sharpshooter from Cleveland, Claire Doran, shot near-perfect golf over the windswept Miami Country Club course today to whip favored Marjorie Lindsay, 2 and 1, in the first upset of the Helen Lee Doherty Amateur tournament. Her surprise victory sent Doran Into Saturday's semi-final round against Kawls of Austin, a 3 and 2 winner over Mary Lena Faulk of Thomasville, Ga. A pair of veteran Irish girls, Polly Riley of Fort Worth, and Pat O'Sullivan of Orange, will clash in the other semi-final match.

Riley took a 2 and 1 decision today over Edean Anderson of Helena, while O'Sullivan was stroking out a 4 and 3 victory over Mae Murray of Southern Pines, N. the runner-up of the 1950 National Amateur. Doran, firing some spectacular into the cold wind that raked the course, pushed ahead of Lindsay with a par four on the second and built her lead over the Decatur, 111., girl to three holes with birdies at the third and seventh. Lindsay, battling the medalist Jinx as well as the cold and wind, seemed to lose her confidence when Doran out-distanced her off the tees. She frequently hooked nd sliced into the trees and traps.

The Leafs last year finished seventh in the eight-team league. probably a pair of the best "crowd pleasers" now around. Cincinnati's fight faithful never have seen Famechon in the "flesh," but they are sold on him from what they have seen of him via television. He's an aggressive youngster, who invariably crowds his opponent, they agree, and this may tend to make it tough for Burgin, a long-armed lad who seemingly does his best work at long range. Famechon's opponents have been of much higher quality than any of Burgin's and thereby lies a doubt in some fans' minds that the Cincinnatian may be "stepping up" too fast.

Neither Burgin nor his managers, Herschel and John Joiner, think so and the same applies to the Beckers. As a matter of fact, the promoters believe tha if Burgin ever is to reach a place approximating the top, now is the time for him to make the Jeep. Ray Famechon, European featherweight champion, will arrive here early next week to put the finishing touches to his conditioning for his 10-round headliner with Eddie Burgin, Cincinnati, in the Garden Tuesday, February 6. Famechon' two legal advisers, Marcel Collet of France and Lew Burst of New York, Informed Promoter Sam and Benny Becker that they will leave New York by at least Monday. They said that the "Fighting Frenchman," an ap-pelation they have stuck on him, is not underestimating Burgin despite the latter's comparative newness at the beak-busting business.

Famechon has a considerable edge on Burgin in experience and perhaps cleverness and ring generalship, but the local lad may have a more potent punch. That, at least, is the way the Beckers sum up the two fighters,.
