Hall SLllUN 2 Of Fame Inducts Reese And Cartmell 12 In AH Honored At Fete 111E COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 18, 3 By DAVE WHITAKER Stan "The Man" Musial, who kept baseball's Hall of Fame selection committee waiting by playing 22 seasons, turned "pitcher" last night at the first installation dinner of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame. Returning to the state where he got his start in organized baseball as a left-handed hurler, Musial tossed bouquets at Louisville's Pee Wee Reese, calling him "the greatest shortstop I've seen in my 22 years in the big leagues." The shoe was on the other foot at the Kentucky Hall of Fame banquet as Musial, the best-eulogized baseballer of modern times, pitched verbal bouquets to Keese. Reese, who put in 19 seasons with the Dodgers before calling it quits six years ago, and Nat J.

Gibson, said a reliable! The Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame dinner last night brought together many oldtimers who hadn't seen each other in 20 to 40 years. Nat Cartmell, with his wonderful little wife, came all the way from Forest Hills, N.

at the tolerably advanced age of 81, to be honored for his world-record achievements in track. There were some oldsters in the crowd who recalled that Nat was better known at DuPont Manual source, is expected to finish his semester of work today with a 3-point standing a average. "If Gibson's grades are in order, he'll be eligible," Dr. Leslie Martin, dean of men, told The Courier-Journal yesterday. "About 12-14 percent of the student body averages 'B' or better," said Dr.

Martin. "When Gibson was declared ineligible, I told him that he would have to prove himself worthy as both a scholar and a citizen of the university community. "He has been an exemplary citizen, and has been commended by his professors and advisors for his attitude and his class attendance," Dr. Martin continued. "He had a 3.1 average through mid-semester.

He deserves to be in 1901 and '02 as a football player. He was, for instance, the only fellow of his day who played three positions in one season tackle, halfback and fullback. His Male High opponent at tackle was Lamar Roy, who can testify to Nat's versatility. Feelings between never go that great again, but he had it in 1963, and that's what the poll's for. Sports Thrill? Here again Sandy will have to be given the nod, by most standards, for taking that fourth and deciding game of the Series.

But for me, personally, the biggest bangs came from watching Louisville's 152-pound Sherman Lewis run 88 yards through Southern California and 85 yards through the whole Notre Dame team as halfback for Michigan State. Swim Hope Florida State's swimming team, one of the strongest in the South, has an addition from the freshman squad this year who should help the team make a bigger splash than ever in Dixie competition. He is Dick Abbott, a Wag-gener product who is one of the best all-around aquatic athletes ever to come out of Louisville. Ben First And Last Diddle's Decision After Louisville's Benny Edelen had been officiating high school basketball games a couple of years, Kd Diddle saw him work, liked his style, and gave him his first chance to call a college game. That was in 1949.

Benny retired from officiating this year, but when Uncle Ed dedicated his new round-ball rumpus room at Western two weeks ago he asked Ben to call his last game for him. Edelen accepted the assignment with a feeling of great pride. Uncle Ed brought him gently back to earth after the game with a gift Benny prizes above all other possessions. It is a gold watch inscribed, "To Ben It. Edelen, 1949-1963, Official Robber."

Scored 46 Twice Gibson was placed on disciplinary probation before the semester began.

He was on scholastic probation the second half of last season when he was a freshman. A sharpshooting forward and a strong rebounder, Gibson led last season's freshman basketball team in average scoring. The 6-foot, 2I4-inch Gibson averaged 23.1 points a game in 16 tilts.

:7, (m the two schools ran higher in those days than they do now. One of Male's coaches during Cartmell's first year was Menefce Wirgman, who carried until his death a few years ago a limp which resulted from an injury traced to this intense rivalry. Male had won the game (I'm not clear on the year) and Wirgman and a couple of other Purple players were walking in Brook Street, toward home. They took a shortcut through an alley back of Jacob. They hadn't gone far when two Manual followers appeared at the corner and shouted some remarks.

Menefee replied. Then one of the boys pulled a revolver and fired. The bullet zinged over the boys' heads. He fired again and this time hit Wirgman in the leg. It was spring before Menefee got out of the hospital.

He gave up playing because of the injury and became business manager and then coach. The boys who fired the shot expressed deep remorse later and the families became friends through the good offices of distressed neighbors. 77 1 Br.f'P; feV-f 7 7 v-7f1 t' 7 7 s7f- of Chicago is first in both polls.
