15. (U.P.) The Blj Ten's lineup ol football coaches was altered today when Dick Hanley resigned as Northwestern coach. "Hanley's resignation Is the forerunner of a shakeup In Western conference coaching circles, which may eventually send new coaches to three schools. Indications today were that Ossle Solera, Iowa coach, has the Inside track as Hanley's successor at Northwestern. If Solem moves to Northwestern to team up again with K.

L. Wilson, athletic director, Hanley might make a bid for the Iowa Job. Wilson and Solem were together at Drake before they moved to the Big Ten. Two other Big Ten coaches are being sought by outside schools. Tennessee has narrowed the field down to two men In Its search for a successor to Bob Neyland, who had to halt his coaching career to do a two-year stretch in the canal zone for Uncle Sam.

One of them Is Bernie Bierman of Minnesota and the other. Bill Brltton, Neyland's assistant during his Tennessee regime. Bierman's salary at Minnesota Is $7,700. and Tennessee is willing to offer Bierman $12,000. Bierman is noncommittal on his plans, but the larger salary and recent Illness of his wife may cause him to consider moving eouth again.

Harvard has Its eye on another Big Ten coach, one whose name hasn't been mentioned. William Bingham, Harvard athletic director, plans to confer with this coach during the football coaches' meeting in New York Christmas week. Although Hanley refused to discuss his plans, several Northwestern players intimated Hanley already had been offered a contract by another school. This 6chool Is believed to be George Washington university at Washington. D.

where the head coach, Jim Piziee, is said to be anxious to devote his time to the post of director of athletics. handball experts who have a chance to see him in action. In his exhibition here Wednesday, Mr. Quam will not ask any special favors in rules nor may he be expected to show any mercy for his local opponents if he happens to get them on the run.

A. U. tournament at Kansas City last year, had their Initial workout on the big floor at the school Saturday afternoon. Mally Johnson, field captain and former star at North Carolina State, has been here for several days but the other members of the squad did not arrive until Saturday morning.

Other members of the team are Fred Karsner, a guard from the University of Minnesota; Chet Veaovlch. a guard from St. Thomas college; Otto Peterson, a forward from Drake, and Al Votjeslk. a center from Minnesota, It Is possible that there will be some changes In the assignment of these players before the season really gets under way. The Great Northerns plan to make Great Falls their headquarters for the current season but will be open for travel engagements.

If the team develops strength It exhibited last season, and Manager Hulllnger believes it will be stronger. It Is prob able that Great Falls will have a representative In the national A. A. U. tournament, which Is to be held at Denver next March.

The bout is scheduled for eight 10-mlnute rounds as Is the aemi-windup, which will pit the versatile McGulre against Gorilla McCandless. the Texan who has won two consecutive starts In preliminary bouts since he arrived here.

McCandless had his hands so full with Sammy Evans" rough and tumble tactics last week that he didn't have, much chance to wrestle, but the opportunity will be presented this week because McGulre loves the scientific game and resorts to the wild stuff only when lie la forced to It by the opposition. To start the show off. Matchmaker Root has signed the veteran Jack Brentano to meet the villainous Fred Mitchell. Erentano halls from Canada and Mitchell came up from Argentina, so this match might be billed as a thoroughly International affair. Root announced Saturday that this would be the last show of the year.

Coach Robert Zuppke of Illinois today termed suggestions to open up the offense of college football as "suicidal." "Increasing the scoring by stressing the offense will" not help the game," said the grid mentor and painter.

"Why ape the professional teams and strive only toward showmanship. Add a fifth down, remove all ttia ehackles from the forward pass and you coach your quarterback to play with one eye on the box office. "The greatest games I ever saw were 0 to 0 ties or 3 to 0 scores. Give the offense more guns and the underdog will be whipped even more. You will annihilate the weaker teams.

That would be suicidal." 3 Matches Played in Cue Tournament Three matches were played in the handicap three- cushion billiard tournament at Hussman Saturday two players breaking even and other scoring one victory.

Rich Race Stake SAN MATEO, Dec. 15. ttPi- California will revive the color and turf pageantry that was traditional with another horse racing generation with the running tomorrow of the $25,000 Bay Meadows handicap, rich est in tne history of the state. a Have Dinner Today at the 217 Br KOBLItT LDGRKN Stanford will be up against a real gridiron battle when the cardinals meet those footballers from Alabama In the Rose bowl New Year's day. Stanford has a great team this year.

It will have to be great. It has one advantage this time, for It won't be quoted as an overwhelming favorite, as rt was last New Year when the Columbia boys skidded to a victory that was entirely unexpected, at least on the Pacific coast. A team that goes In an odds-on favorite Is up against a solid mental handicap when things go the least bit wrong and that Columbia bunch certainly gave the Cards plenty to get nervous about. Now they say Alabama has Its finest team In many years, and Stanford can start knowing it's In for a fight, not a parade. The Crimson Tide has a line of tremendous power and plenty of speed in the b3ckfield.

That line power Is more likely to bother Stanford than anything else. California started the coast's bis game with a reorganized team and line power far beyond anything It had shown earlier In the season, and that line gave the Cards plenty of trouble. It offered such a stubborn resistance and showed such a stubborn attack that Stanford couldn't shake a runner loose for a goal-threatening run until the great Hamilton got away to score near the end of the game. In fact. It was so close, with the 9-7 finish, that a "break" might have thrown the game the other way.

Tide's Great Line Alabama had a powerful line that 6mothered St. Mary's desperate attack for three periods after Alabama had scored In the first at Kezar stadium In 1932. Alabama winning 8-0. Slip Madigan said that was the greatest line he ever saw. And they say this year Alabama is even stronger.

Prlmo Camera, under cover for several months since the defeat by Max Baer last spring, didn't show up so very well In his first comeback appearance against the tall Campolo in Buenos Aires. Of course he won, but he didn't win at all Impressively. He went through to win a decision In a 12-round fight. And Campolo hadn't been In the rlnu for two years and had put on 58 pounds of fat. mostly around the waist line, since his last fight.

Three years ago Camera knocked Campolo out In two rounds, without the slightest trouble, merely running over him and battering him down. Campolo was at least In good fighting condition then. It seems to me that the 11 knockdowns delivered by Baer In the Garden bowl must have taken a lot out of Camera. Baer has a habit of wrecking the men he fights.
