"He told me that he was just getting under way in his, business, and that it was going very well, and that he would not be interested." The chancellor said no offer had been made to Yeager. Asked if there had been any progress-' toward lining up prospects for the Nebraska, posts, the chancellor quipped: "We're thinking of going over the list of displaced persons in Europe o) R5) 0)0 made By RAVEN DYER The hottest thing in basketball panties hereabouts right now is Norman (Clickety) Glick, rangy center on Scotty McDonald's Loyola University frosh. quintet. I havent all the records handy but if Glick's average of 23 points per game through 11 contests this spring isn't high among local casaba casters JtH do until somebody bobs up with a better mark. One night the Loyola lad looped 33 points through the net against Helms Bakeries and followed a few games later with 42 against Caltech.

EAGER BEAVER Norman started slowly this year and thereby hangs a tale. Except for his studies, all this young man thinks about is basketball and he spends every spare minute practicing. When he found the Loyola gym door locked he literally banged his way in and cut his hand badly. This injury, plu3 lack of shoes, kept Norman from hitting his pace until well into the campaign. You see, Glick stands more than six-seven, weighs 230 pounds and his pedal extremities are correspondingly large.

Coach McDonald had to order special shoes and because 19-year-old Norman still is growing he got a pair of 16's to go with the 15's just to be on the safe side. IN THE GROOVE NOW Before the violin cases arrived, Glick sufered a bad case of infected feet, aggravated by wearing makeshift shoes. So at long last everything's all set and he's going like a house afire, as rival teams will testify. Born In New York City, Glick played three years of prep basketball and made third string all-city in his junior year a rather remarkable feat inasmuch as there are 80 high. schools in Gotham in contrast to 45 here.

Three of his prep teammates are playing first string with the great New York quintet, among them Capt. Dambrau. Norman's family moved here almost two years ago and he enrolled at Manual Arts, where he played in four games and was known as "the guy with arms so long he could tie his shoes without stooping-over." All successful basketball coaches (and sports too, I guess) are a little bit nutty and that's the way it is with Scotty McDonald, who, so they say, was a bouncing baby with a tendency to dribble. Scotty says Norman Glick will take his place with the all-time greats of Southern California basketball before he ends his career and having watched the young man do his stuff, I'm inclined to agree. THAT MHUGH MAS Switch reels to swimming i where Father Neptune, alias Jimmy McHugh, is busy night and day telling the world about the mammoth water carnival billed for this week-end in the Beverly Hills High School tank.

Some guys like licorice some are mad about marihuana others piddle away their pelf playing the ponies. Father Neptune's all-consuming passion is he's the big breaststroke and crawl man of western aquatics and eats, and sleeps nothing else once he's started on one of his splash productions. Jimmy thinks all of us should be more concerned because only 50 per cent of our high school students know how to swim and because there are only four pools in all Los Angeles high schools put together. He's right and the best way to interest the youngsters is to let 'them see such champions as Ann Curtis and others in action. JUST THE BEST Miss Curtis, of course, is just the best.

She has won so many championships it is doubtful- if she remembers them all. Ann is the only ath-lete, male or female, to win five consecutive awards at our Times sports dinner. As a result her medallion is so studded with jewels it lights up like a Christmas tree. The public knows Jimmy McHugh best as a sopg writer. For my dough his "I Can't Give You Anything but Love, Baby" tops them all and he's had more than his share of hit tunes.

Jimmy says this one was composed at 10 a.m.. after a deep sleep, rather than late at night with a' romantic moon peering over his shoulder. He denies it was inspired by a wonderful dream. Etten Vill Be Eatin'VithOaks OAKLAND (Cal.) Feb. 11.

(JP) The Oakland basball club of the Pacific Coast League said today it had come to tejms with Nick Etten, first sacker, obtained last year from Newark in the Yankee farm system. Club spokesmen today did not divulge the 1948 contract terms, but said Etten's pay for next season was "probably less" than last year. $63 Place Price Also Sets Mark BY PAUL LOWRY J. Kel Houssels Bymea-bond, winner of the 1945 Santa Anita Derby, yesterday qualified brilliantly for Saturday's San Antonio Handicap as Easy Fibber hung up the longest win and place prices of the Santa Anita meeting this season. The pay-off on Easy Fibber," owned by the N.

E. D. stable, was $125.70, $63.30 and $20.20 across the board. It was the first start of the meet for' the 3-year-old colt of Easy Mon and Fibber. Easy Fibber's previous effort was at the Golden Gate track last October, and he was a winner during that meeting over a heavy track.

Yesterday the Santa Anita racing strip had returned to fast, and Easy Fibber had all the speed of the six-furlong race. He was out on top by better than two lengths going downline backstretch and held on doggedly as Miss Challedon and Blue Moire challenged in the last eighth. Winner, by Neck Both cut the gap, but Easy Fibber still had a neck at the wire with Blue Moire a nose behind Miss Challedon. Otto Grohs rode Easy Fibber, Time for the race was 1:12 4-5. Another first starter, at the meeting, Mrs.

Alice Hans-brough's Glory Pepper, also registered a long-shot pay-off by capturing the opening race for maiden 2-year-olds of California breeding. Glory Pepper won by a length and one-quarter from Shifty Roman in :33 45 for the three furlongs, and paid $77.90 for winning tickets. Her show return of $22 was the largest of the season for third-place pasteboards. Although he was not the favorite Bymeabond virtually made i show of his field in winning the Date Festival, an allowance race at a mile and one furlong, the distance- of the week-end's $50,000 San Antonio. Ralph Neves sent Bymeabon4 out on top, and he never looked better except for the day when the late George Woolf rode, him to victory over Busher in the 1945 Santa Anita Derby.

Builds Up Lead Bymeabond was In front by three lengths at the head of the stretch and he was on top by four at the wire as the favored Pleasure Fund vainly tried to cut down the margin. Time for the race was 1:50 25, one of the fastest of the meet ing, with Bymeabond carrying 116 pounds with Ralph Neves up. He paid $13.20. Bymeabond is in the San Antonio! with 112 pounds on his back, 'and is going to be dangerous at the weight. Conn McCreary, who is to ride Endeavor II in the San Antonio, was painfully but not seriously injured during the running of the fifth race.

McCreary's mount, Twenty Thirty, stumbled going into the far turn and unseated her riders At the track hospital it was an-nounced that his injuries were no more serious than a bad shaking up and bruises about his nose and over one eye.

Ryder plans to have Dodds return here in April to start priming for the Olympic 1500-meter event. "Mumps can be" very serious for an adult and I hope there will not be any complications in Gil's case," Ryder added.

"He never has run as well as he has this season and he has his heart set on winning an Olympic championship before retiring to devote all of his time to his religious preaching." Friends who visited Dodds yesterday said he had a high fever and was much more uncomfortable than when first admitted to the hospital. Both sides of his fact became swol len overnight. Smear Cry Hurled at McKeever SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11. (P) Father Jerome Sullivan, athletic moderator at the University of San Francisco, said today he had received a letter from former Head Football Coach Ed McKeever stating that a number of U.S.F.

players, expected to play next season, are ineligible. The letter said these players are ineligible because of competition used up at other colleges, mostly in the East Father Sullivan said McKeever, who resigned recently to coach the professional Chicago Rockets, had his facts twisted in the cases of many of the athletes named. "U.S.F. has never fielded any Ineligible players," Father Sullivan asserted. "There are two doubtful cases regarding eligibility of students for the 1948 squad and we are seeking clarification now." Joe Kuharich, former assistant to McKeever and now head football coach at U.S.F., said Mc-Keever's action was "vindictive and spiteful" and was "definitely a smear on the kids, me and the school." Schmidt Got Copy Father Sullivan said McKeever mailed the letter on Jan.

31, the day he quit to take the Rocket job. The letter was addressed to Sullivan and carbon copies were sent to athletic officials of other colleges which are on U.S.F.'s football schedule. Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt of the Pacific Coast Conference also received a copy. U.S.F.

is not a conference member but undertakes to abide by its rules. Following is the letter which Father Sullivan said he received from McKeever: "So there will be no misun derstanding on, or any criticism toward me, I feel that since you have already declared Scott, Tsarnas and Matisi ineligible (the university recently ruled Joe Scott, John Tsarnas and Pete Matisi had exhausted their eligi bility) that you realize the situ ation on the following: "Steve Kucer was registered at Tuiane and Drake University and lost a year in transferring and played last season. "Tom Chintis played two years at Arizona, lost a year in transferring and has played one year nere. "George Stefko, Drake University and U.S.F. Joe's Been Around "JSe Mocha.

"Tiny Sabuco, Wayne University. "Paul and Bob Braunreiter, one of Marquette and other at Regis. "Larry Clerico, junior college, two years. "Barney Prowell, junior college, two years. "Paul Howard, junior college two years and two years of eligibility here.

Would he have eligibility left? "Bob Greenhalgh, Notre Dame in 1342, Notre Dame in 1946. Better check on this case because he definitely lost a year by his registering at Nptre Dame for second time. "Rudy Ragan. It Is my. understanding he attended school in Pennsylvania before matriculating here.

"George Buksar, Purdue. "Mike Davlin, Notre Dame. Played in Service "George Westernkirchner, Notre Dame, service ball, which does not count against eligibility. "James Ryan, St. Mary's and U.S.F.

"Don Paniciera, Boston College. "Ed Kaminsky, Notre Dame, two years of competition at U.S.F. "Phil O'Connor, Notre Dame, StJ Louis U.S.K. "I would like to mention further that during the recent N.C.A.A. meeting two factors were brought up clearly.

"First The matter of subsidization. "Second The paying of athletes. "How you will work out paying the boys the usual $75. $50 and $40 a month, plus, in some cases, a substantial amount over that figure, I do not know, but it is going to be a bit of a problem. "I just wanted these things cleared up." Kuharich said: "There may be a question on the eligibility of one or two of the boys but we khow the backgrounds of all the rest.

Every boy who plays football for us will be eligible-rest assured." The letter was directed mainly at "boys McKeever brought out here when he became head coach," Kuharich said. "I have talked to some of them and they insist they told McKeever about some possible technicalities involving eligibility. The boys told me that McKeever told them not to bother about it." Father Sullivan said athletes were paid for doing campus work but denied McKeever's assertion some got "substantially ovQr" the $40, $50 or $75 a month.
