13 THE STATE JOURNAL, LANSING. MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1939 EWORLD PORT Casteel Accepts Arizona Job; Spartans Prepared to Name His Successor WILL REMAIN HERE Minnesota and Ohio State to Have Cage Showdown Saturday THE 1k 4l A IL WRESTtING LAST NIGHT 2Ae AssociauC Prcsit Leaves State A Believe It or Not" By Robert Ripley State's Football Assistant Signs Three-Year Contract at $6,000 Salary FIVETOVICTOBY St. Mary's Comes from Behind to Down Resurrection Holy Name, 35-28 85 LEAVES TRACK JOB, TOO End of a 15-year career as an assistant coach in football and track at Michigan State college was in sight today. Miles W. (Mike) Casteel last night announced that he was accepting the head football coaching position at the University of Arizona.

The announcement came after Casteel had conversation with Athletic Director J. F. (Fritz) McKale of Arizona by telephone. "Well, that's that." Casteel said after i he had informed McKale of his in tention. "Now I got to start worrying about that opener with Minnesota next fall.

That's what I get for becoming a head coach." Casteel said that he planned to remain at his pest here until late this month. Spring practice will start at Arizona around March 1. He also announced that he was taking with him Lou Zarza, former Michigan State college end. as line coach. Zarza was successful in his position as head coach at St.

Viator college. Kankakee, 111., until that school closed last spring. Since that time Lou has been coaching in high school at East Chicago. "They told me I could take one assistant along with me and Lou is I my choice," Casteel said. His new jobj will pay him S6.000 per year and a three-year contract is involved.

He was being paid S4.500 at East Lansing. Athletic Director Ralph H. Young! was prepared to submit to the atnletic council the names of a small number of candidates for Casteel's job. Cas-teel's negotiations with Arizona a year ago which he eventually abandoned caused the athletic council to feel at that time that the backfield coach might some day resign so steps were taken to survey the field for a replacement. The field has been nar- rowed down to three or four men, Di louisc Yelpir Northwestern and Iowa Collide in Another Confer- ence Cage Battle TOPPERS BEAT WILDCATS I COICAGO, Feb.

ALPERTON Whapping An Ear QNE moment while I place my left little linger in my left ear and whap It. When one whaps, one flutters something. After one listens to Abel Miller's toomir-s voice beat upon one's ear drums for 'ire minutes or so one feels that to flutter one's car may relieve the distress. Mr.

Miller, the football voice o' WKAR and a former football trip roommate of the miller of this grist, loves to argue. In my time I have argued with him. One of our favorite subjects has been the American league baseball promotion picture and advertising medium that Mr. Miller's employer, the Fisher Body corporation, sponsors annually. I don't like them.

The pictures, I mean. I never have. A new one is Just now going the rounds and Mr. Miller, by way of pourine it on. called me right up to ask if I had seen it.

I -worked a miracle. I got him off the subject. That wasn't what he called me up about, anyway. "What do you make of," went on Mr. Miller in his best what-do-you-make-of tone of voice, "the lethargy that Lansing sports fans show toward those cracker-jack amateur boxing shows the V.

F. W. are put-ling on at the Prudden?" I wouldn't know. I have been trying to chart the course of Lansing sports followers for lo these many years and I haven't more than one or two traces on the paper to show for my efforts. Mr.

Miller wonders why the shows aren't sellouts. "Why, that show Tuesday night was the best boxing attraction, amateur or professional, I have seen in this fair city," he stated positively. "It ought to fill that place to the eaves next Tuesday nisht. You don't get any better than that anywhere." And so on for minutes. We have had our arguments, but on this point I am bound to admit that I agree.

The Vets' show was a pip. Because I think him fo RIGHT, I even forgive him for forcing me to whap my tar. I might even forget "that he kept me awake that night in the Sherman hotel wit.i his accounts of goings-on in the mountains of Weft Virginia before he heard of radio. Fisher Body baseball pictures or the duties ol an amateur boxing judge. gOTJREST note in the racuous-voiced prize fight chorus is that of Tony (Titantic Two-Ton) Galen-to-.

The boxing game could get along without the alleged athlete, whose handlers have made capital cf the fact that Tony trains on beer. He may be quite a fighter as barroom biawls go, and lie may have pushed over some of tile lads on the fringe of the heavyweight mob. but as pattern for our hero-worshippers the gentleman from New Jersey is slightly out of shape. The game can ill afford to have such monkey business. Galer.to's camp (and I am inclined to make it collective because I know Tony is being manipulated by the managerial gentry) has tossed a cheap challenge into the ring by saying that they have "terms'' that mu-t be met if Tony is to meet Joe Louis.

Not bad for a third rater. What is the fight game coming to if a guy like Galento can challenge the king and get serious consideration in doing so? I'll bite.
