"We got him by mail," beamed Coach George Halas of the Bears in relating the story of his accidental discovery.

"About all we knew about him was that he wanted to play with the Bears more than anything else in the world. How can you pass up a boy like that? We sent him an invitation and it developed into 8 break for us A Chicago police reporter, in quest news in his own line, heard about the desire to play for the Bears and dropped a note to the sports department of his paper. The word was passed to Halas. Thus began one of pro football's Cinderella stories and it's something other "little guys" might bear in mind. A player like Johnny Lujack of Notre Dame, a collegiate, star, virtually can set his own price for turning pro as he weighs bids from the two clubs in the National League and All their Confer- draft ence that have him on lists.

But a little guy like Gulyanics, drafted 1 by none, can pick his own team. He's where he wants to be, although at far lower starting salary than a college star could demand. Gulyanics, veteran of the Two Schools Penalized for Net Fracas WE A Indianapolis, Dec. 8 (P) The Indiana High School Athletic Association's board of control penalized two schools today as a result of hot words and fist-throwing in a basketball game between South Bend Catholic and Greene Township of St. Joseph County, November 21.

Bourdon of South Bend brought about a hearthat Coach Richard Friend of South ling last Saturday with complaint Bend Catholic had used "unsports- manlike language." 8 Fans 'Rough Up' Coach board South Bend concurred, school suspend- through January 5, and placing it on probation until June 1, 1948. Greene Township escaped suspension but was placed on probation for same period because of its fans' conduct. There was testimony that Coach Friend "roughed up some" by Greene Township fans. The officials ended the game in the third quarter with Greene Township leading, 37 to 24.

incident occurred when Friend ran onto the floor to protest a decision. Order was restored quickly and Father Syzmanski, South Bend Catholic faculty representative, apologized to the officials for the conduct of Coach THE MUNCIE STAR TELEPHONE 6631 MEMBER OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is entitled clusively to the use for republication of all the local news printed in this newspaper, 45 well as all AP news dispatches.

"I make this request with a great deal of regret and only because of my knowledge of the tenseness of the present situation," Welch told Cassill in a letter outlining his position. Aides Not Affected "I am fully aware that the life of a football coach is subject to. the stresses and strain brought about through emotional public pressure. It is quite evident that the strain has reached proportion which makes it clear than any intensification of them would not be in the best interests of the university and its athletic program." Welch's action does not affect his staff of assistants, said Cassill, since each has his own separate yearly argeement. The athletic director said a successor for Welch had not been named but that the new head coach would be on the campus in time to direct spring football practice.

Welch was reported as having planned to scout today's game in Los Angeles with an eye on next year's Washington Notre Dame contest, the first between the schools. Welch Ex-Purdue Star Welch, a star fullback on the Purdue team which won the Big Ten title under Coach Jimmy Phelan in 1929, was named on several All selections year. following spring Phelan was signed as Washington coach and brought Welch with him. Welch was frosh coach through the 1941 season and succeeded Phelan when the latter came to a parting with Washington athletic directors that year and shifted to St. Mary's.

Welch's 1947 team, generally rated for the first division in preseason predictions, finished the season with two victories and five losses in Pacific Coast Conference competition. In addition the team lost to Minnesota by one point and won from St. Mary's outside the conference.

Cadet Steffy Wins Outland Grid Trophy Des Moines, Dec. 8 (U.P.)The Outland trophy, awarded annually by the Football Writers' Association of America to the outstanding guard or tackle on the nation's football teams, will be sented this year to Cadet Joseph Benton Steffy, Army guard. Steffy, 21-year-old Chattanooga (Tenn.) guard, succeeds George Connor, Notre Dame as winner of the Outland The announcement Steffy's selection was made by Bert McGrane of Des Moines, secretary of the association, following voting by more than 400 members of the organization. Steffy was accorded virtually unanimouns honors in all-America selections in 1946 and was prominently mentioned in this year's "all" teams.

The veteran Army guard was exceptionally strong on defense and did most of Army's place-kicking and scored nine points on conversions this season. He played freshman football at the University of Tennessee before entering the United States Military Academy. The Outland trophy was originated by the late Dr. John Outland of Kansas a two-timel all-America selection of Walter Camp. NOTICE For the Best Christmas Present Please Read Our Ad on Page 10.

THE CADE CO. Louis' Aide to Negotiate for New Bout New York, Dec. 8 (U. Champion Joe Louis agreed today to defend his heavyweight crown in a return June match with Jersey Joe Walcott on a basis, shortly after the New York BoxCommission upheld Friday night's disputed decision favoring Louis over Jersey Joe. The champion authorized Sol Strauss, acting director of the 20th Century Sporting Club, to begin negotiations with Walcott, who had given Louis such a hard fight Madison Square Garden Friday night.

Louis Asks 40 Per Cent Louis will accept per cent of the net gate and of proceeds from radio, television and movies, Strauss announced.

Despite the fact that Connthen red hot challenger-accepted 20 per cent, it is doubtful if Walcott and his shrewd handlers will be contented with the same slice.

"I learned a lot of football from Ronzani," Gulyanics said. "I wanted to learn it fast and get up to the Bears." He came up this season, immediately took over the punting chores from Sid Luckman, and became a rough-running halfback. Most of the season he has been the National League's top punter.

Occasionally he passes but with Luckman around that's strictly a part time job. Assistant Coach Luke Johnson reports he never has seen a player so eager to learn. Halas has a special spot in his heart for him because Gulyanics picked the Bears over, all the other clubs in pro football. Gulyanics played a little service football but he swears he never toted a pigskin in college. Even if he did it wouldn't have cut much ice with the pros.

Poll Favors Continuance of Rocky in Ring Washington, Dec. 8 (U.P.). -A nation-wide National Boxing Association poll in the case of World Welterweight Champion Rocky Graziano has revealed a "preponderance of sentiment in favor of his continuance in boxing," President Abe J. Greene announced tonight.

Graziano, who received a dishonorable discharge for desertion, is under suspension in New York state for allegedly receiving a bribe offer. Greene polled war veterans, business and professional men, former boxing commissioners, college faculty, members and college boxing and said that each group was overwhelmingly in favor of permitting Graziano to box professionally. "The poll among war veterans of long service in the regular establishment showed 80 per cent for Graziano, 20 per cent against him," Greene reported. Greene said no specific recommendation would be made to NBA members as result of the poll. Those desiring to use Graziano may do so, he said.

His wife, Mrs. Arnold Cream, Jr. (that's Jersey Joe's, real name) ambled to the instrument and said wearily time after time: "No, he's not here. I don't know where he is. Thanks for calling." Townfolk gathered on street corners, in bars, in barber shops and everyone was talking about Walcott's bout with Joe Louis at Madison Square Garden last night.

"We all know Arnold said his wife. "He's sure he won. And he knows he can beat Louis again. It was just a lousy decision." No one here was able to give the whereabouts of the 33-year-old onetime steelworker, onetime truck loader, onetime sparring partner Louis' and onetime relief recipient. Jersey Joe's six.

children dered about the house, snatching newspapers and staring at their daddy's picture, the one showing Jersey Joe standing over Louis' prostrate form on the canvas in the fourth round.
