Berwanger of Baseball. Bill Haarlow, slim court captain who is to the University of Chi-ago basketball team what his riend Jay Berwanger was to the Maroon football squad, seems well his way to the individual scor- ng championship in the Western onference race again. Despite the fact that the Ma- oons have lost all seven of tho Big Ten games they have played his season and consequently have een of little help to him, Haar- ow has been setting the pace for he conference in both baskets nd free throws. Haarlow, whose 156 points last topped the individual per- ormers and enabled Chicago to salvage something from a season in which the Maroons won only one game, has been running "hot and cold" this season.

He got off to a great start in the Wisconsin game when he scored half of Chicago's 30 points. But the Maroons lost in overtime. Crack-Shot Free-Thrower. In the first game against Purdue, Haarlow went completely "cold" and couldn't find the basket and the Boilermakers won by a lopsided score, 44-21. He recovered somewhat in the Indiana game by sinking eigljt goals from the floor and his only free throw attempt for a total of 17 points.

Chicago lost that one, too, 33-30. His fre.e throw eye is as good as ever. One he missed recently ended a string of 22 consecutive shots from the foul line carried over from Inst season. Haarlow 'went to Chicgo from Bowen hiagh school with an amazing record to recommend him, both as lete. He student and as an ath- had grades in all his studies.

Basketball was his chief sport and although he kept on the sidelines most of the time, he averaged 19 3-4 points for 34 games in 1929-30; 181-4 points in 39 games in 1930-31; and 235-8 points in 13 games in 1931-32. He also was captain and star pitcher on the baseball team, head of the golf squad and the school's best fencer. He might have been a football star, too, but for the school rule limiting his sports activities.

McKNIGHT Associated Press Sports Writer. DALLAS, Feb. Golfer Paul (Daffy) Dean, perhaps a trifle more publicized as a St. Louis Cardinal pitcher, made his bow as a tournament player here yesterday under annoying conditions it wasnt' the icy weather. He played with an national league umpire, at a second baseman and a sports writer.

Paul painfully counted his 99 strokes, one under "Dean Par," and argued It was history that no pitcher ever did much good at anything with an umpire in the crowd. "How could I do anything with a. 'Tom' looking over my shoulder on every shot?" queried Dean. 'I had an 83 yesterday but it was my putter, and that umpire." Dean, who haa whipped them across the outside corner before throngs of 60,000 stepped to the first tee before a gallery of about. 50 shivering fans, nervously teed his ball atop an inch high peg, and topped his opening tournament shot 75 yards into the rough.

"Run it out," taunted Lee Bal- lafant, former Texas league umpire and recently sold into the National foursome member. "Aw, I had a bad lie," came the typical Dean retort. Paul Gets Gaff. Came the second hole and Dean lofted one of his "high, hard ones" into the jungle. "Touch all the bases," warned Les Mallon, former Boston Brave second baseman and now.with the Dallas "Well, I was cut out to be a golfer but I guess they sewed me up wrong," snapped Paul, shifting his quid to the right side.

At the end of the first nine holes Dean had 50 strokes, more contempt for umpires and a badly overworked putter to think about. He set 43 strokes as his goal on the second nine and was doing well toward that end until he reached the fourteenth hole, a 300-yard affair. He slammed a terrific tee shot which, abetted-by a bit of a gale, soared far down the fairway and nestled on the green. Jubilantly he grabbed his putter and made for the green, intent on a possible eagle two and certain of a birdie three. I Can't Sink Putt.

The first putt slid ten feet past the hole. The second was short. The third went by and the fourth rimmed. By the time he dropped the fifth putt for a six, just two strokes over par on the hole, he was talking of baseball spring training. It broke his spirit and he finished with a 49.

As a matter of record, Dean's TRV OUT MANY MORE PUYERSJHIS YEAR REDS GET JUMP WITH OPEN- SAN JUAN CAMP; CUBS TO COVER DISTANCE By ALAN GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Feb.
