St. Thomas, empire Nick Kearns. llePauI. Special to The Pittsburgh Press MADISON, Wise, Dec. 11 Pittsburgh's closing rally was not quite rugged enough here tonight and a fast-step-p i Wisconsin basketball team handed the Panthers a 44-36 defeat.

Dr. H. C. Carlson started his Pittsburgh reserves but rushed in his regulars when Wisconsin assumed an 8-2 lead; Pitt quickly closed the gap on successive field goals from short range by Joe Garcie, Miles Zeleznik and Eddie Spotovich. That was the last time the Panthers were on even terms with Wisconsin.

Mannie Frey pushed the Badgers ahead with a one-handed push shot from beyond the free throw line and Wisconsin forged into a 21-15 lead at the intermission. With less than four minutes of play remaining Coach Harold E. (Bud) Foster sent in reserves for Ernie Davis and George Rooney, who had played through without relief. The Badgers were leading, 4O30, and it looked like a safe move. Then Zeleznik hit from long range, Robert Johnson's second scored from long range and Zeleznik scored from under the basket.

Rodney and Davis were rushed back into the game and the Badgers counted two baskets in the remaining two minutes and 17 seconds. Rooney was the hottest thing on the floor and he added 16 points to Wisconsin's total with seven field goals and a brace of free throws. He was aided by Frey with 11, and Howard (Hod) Powell with 10. Zeleznik paced the Pittsburghers with 12 points on five baskets and two free throws. Iowa Teachers Win CEDAR FALLS, Dec.

Dec. 11 Washington and Jeffer son's basketball team put it" wrong foot forward tonight ar it made its initial step in de fense of its mythical distric' championship by dropping a 42-2C decision to Carnegie Tech's surprising Tartans. A crowd of 1500 disatroointer' home fans watched the President fiddle as loudly as did Nero, bu instead of Rome burning as th( historians will tell you, the Plaic charges of Coach Maxie Hannurr literally burned ud the cords ai both ends of the court of the spacious Washington High School gymnasium. The Tartans romped into a 20-12 lead in the first half, one of the slowest in local basketball history, and after the intermission, they took complete charge of the contest, much to the consternation of the fans who had turned out en masse to see the Presidents share a basketball victory over Carnegie after seven lean years without a single triumph. The same Billy Miller, who ran the Presidents dizzy last year in the Tartans' 13th straight win over the Red and Black, was on the loose again tonight.

All he did was toss in nine field goals and add two charity shotsf or a total of 20 points. Nine points were garnered in the first half. Loughlin Paces Prexies In contrast, only half of W. J. famed "field goal twins" functioned tonight.

Bill Laughlin, star guard, bagged 11 of the Presidents markers, while Captain Bud Jean-nette, who had a personal longlhg to show well against the Plaid because he was out of last year's tussle, failed for the first time in his varsitv career to snare a fielrl His contribution was a mere two foul shots. The score was tied four times in the first half, but when Captain Miller tossed in a field goal to give tthe Skibos a 10-8 edge, they had secured a lead they never relinquished. 18 Points Ahead Once The Tartans increased their margin in the second half, once going out front as far as 18 points when tthe score stood at 37-21 and despite Coach Sanders' frequent substituting a working combination could not be uncovered. For the fourteenth time it was Carnegie's night to howl and the Tartans took advantage of every scoring opportunity. The much-heralded clash was anything but that.

I niversity of Louisville, umpire: James Cnnover. Indiana State, head linesman; Charles Bush. Indiana State, field judge. By PAUL KURTZ Tress Staff Writer EVANSVILLE, Dec. 11 There is always a time when winning streaks snap.

It was McKeesport High's turn to fall by the wayside by the law of averages, and the Tinson-coached "Tigers" will head homeward tomorrow knowing that they can now start all over again next sea son. Not since midway in 1935 had McKeesport been beaten. Twenty-five games had been won, but it wasn't "in the book." to hang up another. McKeesport. with courage as its greatest asset, was completely outclassed bv powerful, speedy Me morial Catholic High "Tigers" be fore about 8,000 fans in Reitz Bowl today, 21-0.

Memorial gave such ft dazzling exhibition that the Catholic team Detail on Page 6 deservingly should be called the "Pride of Indiana." For a schoolboy football team Memorial was not only powerful, but acted like a team of track stars. There were times when power was displayed, then speed so swift that wide end sweeps had the McKeesporters drzzy trying to catch up. In Hanging up meir victory. Memorial finished their fourth consecutive season without having been defeated. Only forty points have been scored upon them in mat ume.

Memorial Breaks Loose One touchdown in the second quarter paved the way for Memorial to hold a first half advantage of 7-0 Then came a scoreless third quarter "Bud" Hinkle, Catholic full-loose with a hipper-dipper, razzle-dazzle brand of football in the final period to make 14 more points. Their deception and splendid ball handling was entirely too much for McKeesport. Mid-way in the second quarter. Bud Hinkle, Catholic fullback, tossed a long pass to Leo Scheu, rangy left end, who took the ball on McKeesporfs 33, and alter almost getting away, was Anally hauled down by George Smith on "several plays later Hinkle again passed to Scheu. who was not downed until he had reached the 15.

It was somewhat of a see-saw affair during the third quarter, neither being able to score-Memorial continued its good ball handling and always proved a threat. The only real scoring opportunity that McKeesport had failed. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Toon, who had entered the Memorial backfield for Wagner, fumbled. Charley White. McKeesport tackle, who had replaced Pac-eszniak, paved the way, momentarily, for the Tigers as he recovered on Memorial 30.

On a terrific plunge, Sammy Lauris, Tuber halfback, cut through guard for a first down to Memorial's 13. In three line smashes, "Casey" Ploszay and Lauris went to the five, but here the Tuber attack bogged dLaiiris, sent in to the left side, had no chance of going anywhere when he was smothered by a half dozen Blue and Whites, led by Hillenbrand. Memorial took the ball on downs and it was the end of Mc-Kpesporfs offensive, so far as any spring effort was concerned. There was no question of Memorials' superiority. As the final period was well under way, the Catholics worked their way from UiCli U1il down.

Alter wagner nranuanj (Continued on Paje 2). Michigan Job Lures Benny By The United Press ANN ARBOR, Dec. 11 Four football coaches were named tonight by "persons in the know" as being leading candidates for Harry Kipke's job at Michigan. In the select group of prospects, it was understood, are Benny Friedman, Michigan's great quarterback and passer ten years ago; Charles (Gus) Dorais, Detroit Athletic Director and coach: Gar Davidson, whose term has expired as grid mentor at West Point, and George Veenker, Athletic Director and coach at Iowa State. Friedman appeared to be in the lead to succeed Kipke, who was ousted in a surprise decision Thursday by the Michigan Athletic Board.

Various alumni clubs have begun unofficial campaigns to place Benny at the helm of the Wolverine grid machine. Sentiment on the university campus has sounded favorable to his apriintment. New York alumni already are hailing Friedman, now coach at the City College of New York, as "our next head coach." The possibility of luring Dorias away from Detroit is slim It is understood the former Notre Dame star is well satisfied in his present position. He had turned down innumerable offers from colleges all over the Nation during the past few years. Fielding Yost.

Michigan Athletic Director, and Prof. Ralph Aigler, member of the Athletic Board, have been authorized by University officials to begin interviewing prospects. Eight are under consideration, it was reported, with at least four due to be approached next week. Possibility of hiring a coach from the ranks of professional football is not being considered, Yost said. The hiring of a coach from a Southern school also is out," according to the Athletic Director, at least for the present.

faltered on the home stretch to add a 72 to his first-round total of 67. So they were deadlocked at 139, each three strokes under par. Hot on the heels oT the leading pair was Horton Smith, Chicago, and Jim Turnesa, Providence, R. each with an aggregate of 140. Smith had a round of 69 today, best of the day, while Turnesa had a 70, matching his first round score.

A stiff wind, which blew during the early morning hours and again in mid-afternoon, made scoring generally higher than opening day. It helped to scatter the rivals of the leading quartet all the way back to aggregates of 151, qualifying marks of the professionals. In all 66 professionals earned the right to play the fipal two rounds, as did ten low-scoring amateurs, led by Bob Servis, Dayton, who had 147. Tony Penna, Dayton, and Victor Ghezzi, Deal, N. scored 72 's today for aggregates of 142, to be closest in pursuit of the leading quartet.

One stroke back was Dick Metz. Chicago. Metz had a 72 after an original 71, to total 143. Ralph Guldahl, National Open champion, who is also the defending champion in this tourney, took a long stride toward upholding tradition that no player wins the Bilt-more title twice. After a creditable 72 for his first test, he scored a 75 for 147, eight strokes out of the lead.

Probably the biggest upset of the day was the failure of Jimmy Hines, New York to qualify. One of the 10 leading money winners of the year tied, seasons of Pittsburgh, Villa-nova, Dartmouth and Holy Cross. Jock Sutherland's Pitt eleven was generally rated as the national champion. Its string of major victims included West Virginia, Duquesne, Wisconsin, Carnegie, Notre Dame, Perm State and Duke, and it had a strong statistical edge on Foraham, in its only deadlocked engagement. Throughout that campaign the Panthers showed the results of a well done coaching job.

M. J. (Big Clipper) Smith, in his second season at Villanova, was another to show the way to all save one foe. His attack was not quite ready for the early season engagement with rugged Auburn and a scoreless deadlock resulted, but thereafter his offense rolled with power and precision against rugged teams, while his defense, which allowed only one enemy touchdown in the course of the year, was the sturdiest shown in major play. In their cases, however, as well as in that of Jim Crowley, an abundance of tried and true veterans anil holder of the Metropolitan Open title, Hines had an 80 today to aggregate 155.

Denny Shute was another ace with only the barest chance of wanning, having scored a 76 for an aggregate of 148. Still farther back was Law-son Little, San Francisco, who had 75 eash day to total 150. SCORES Sam Snead. White Sulphur Springs. W.

Blaik found only three holdover regulars available, yet he filled in eight positions with sophomores or erstwhile subs, slaughtered Harvard, Brown, Princeton and Columbia and outstatisticked his tying foes, Yale and Cornell, to claim the Ivy League crown for the second consecutive year. At Holy Cross Anderson found few more holdover regulars, yet sent his team through a ten-game schedule without defeat and had the advantage in play in his scoreless deadlocks with Temple and Carnegie. Bill Dietz at Albright and Arthur Kahler at Dickinson were others to show unbeaten seasons with their teams, and Albright wound up the year without yielding a single point to any adversary. This is the first of series lending to the selectiorjiof "the All-America roach of 1911" The choice will be playing his first season of professional hockey, provided the Hornet's margin of victory. The triumph was Pittsburgh's third, along with three ties, in their last six games.

Alfie Moore, tn the net for the Hornets, notched his first shutout cf the season in a Pittsburgh uniform. It was his fourth game with the Red Shirts. The Hornets starting front line of Kilrea at center, Sherf and Doraty on the wings, wasted little time putting over a goal, Kilrea converting from close in on the right side in the first period. Sherf intercepted a pass by Lesieur deep in Red territory, rifled to Doraty, who set up the shot for Kilrea at 2:21. The Hornets checked up front so well that the Reds had nary a shot in the first five minutes.

Not until Orlando was banished for tripping in the 15th minute did the Reds really threaten. With a man advantage, they swarmed up ice and kept Moore busy warding off shots. Hamel had a set-up from close in at the left but Moore made a beautiful save. Giroux also had a shot from close range but each one was turned aside by the bushy-haired Moore. While the Reds were a man short in the last minute of the second session, the Hornets took advantage of their man power and notched a goal at 19:24.

PARKER Press Special Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 11 With this article begins the annual survey of coaching achievements in the realm of football, which has as its purpose the selection of the all America coach of 1937." In 1935 that title was won by Lynn Waldorf, who proved himself highly deserving of the honor when he sent his Northwestern eleven to the Big Ten championship of 1936. Last year Richard Cresson Harlow, of Harvard, was invested with the title and this fall Harlow saw his thorough-going and inspiring efforts break the spell which had denied Harvard a major victory in three years to carry his Harvard eleven to the so-called "Big Three" championship the first time Harvard had claimed that crown in nearly a score of years.

Lesieur was chased for slashing Doraty in the fifteenth minute, and though the Hornets launched a five-man attack, no score was produced. Not until Cook was in the cooler (Continued on Page 5) 11-A merica riding East led in All-America player talent, so does this sector show the greatest number of impressive coaching jobs. Not one of the metropolitan mentors can be overlooked. In the matter of winning achievements Jim Crowley of Fordham, topped the local group with the undefeated Ram eleven, which showed all its old defensive stability and a much improved attack. Chick Meehan did another grand job in lifting Manhattan to a position as a major football power and numbering among his conquests the only victory to be scored over Michigan State.

Benny Friedman and Lou Oshins of City College and Brooklyn College, respectively, gave their institutions the most successful seasons either ever has enjoyed. Lou Little, despite a traditional shortage in material, fashioned a fighting team, which, although nosed out by several major rivals, was outplayed by only one of their number and sprang big surprises in holding to tie scores the highly Coach? -EastH as Many Dickinson Rates Pitt Greatest favored elevens of Syracuse and Stanford. And Mai Stevens, at N. Y. with his squad riddled with injuries from the season's outset to its end, is deserving of special praise for a fine piece of work done under trying circumstances.

As in Crowley's case, team records attract attention to other Eastern mentors. Two in these parts showed all-winning seasons. They were E. (Hooks) Mylin, who, taking command of a Lafayette unit that had been: slaughtered in seven games last year, was beaten in another and showed only one victory for the 1936 season, clicked off eight straight triumphs in as many games this falL and Alex Yunevich. whose charge was the Alfred eleven, which did not win a game in 1936 and which rang up seven straight conquests this fall, scoring more points in each contest than it did in the entire 1936 season.
