No confirmation is expected ment for probably a month, unless Jngton puts official approval on this is war and Hagberg has been the waters of the Pacific for many from the -M I i i When he is transferred to the Naval Academy he undoubtedly will have other duties in addition to coaching the football squad, just as did Captain Whelchel and Swede Larson, the pair who have been so successful in competition with the cadets of West Point.

Hurling Laurels STEVE CROMEK Struck out 188 batsmen to win top honors in 1943 campaign Selection of Hagberg to succeed Whelchel at Navy should be popular. There should be much rejoicing at Annapolis when the silence is officially broken by orders from Washington. Not only was Swede one of Navy's fine football stars in his under graduate days at the Academy, where he played both end and backfield, but he had a very pleasant personality which he carried with him in active duty after graduating in 1931. iAj-rrfa v.v.

Jan. 26 fP) There were four 20-game pitchers in the International Baseball League last summer, and all of them will get a ctack in the major leagues this year.

Ed Klieman, of Ba'ltimore, who turned in a record of 23 wins against 11 defeats, will toe the mound for the Cleveland Indians. Luke Hamlin, the old Brooklyn Dodger, who hung up a mark of 21 wins and 8 defeats for Toronto, will try again in the big time with the Philadelphia Americans. De La Cruz With Reds Tomas de la Cruz, the Syracuse flinger with 21 wins and 11 set- backs. goes up with the Cincinnati Reds on a conditional-sale basis, and Rufe Gentry, of Buflelo. who won 20 and lost 16, is with the Detroit Tigers.

Gentry pitched several 3Jmes for the Tigers last September.

Besides Hagberg, the other four were Lieutenant Commanders Slade Cutter, Robert Dornin, Lou Kirn and Magruder Tuttle.

Breadon Feels As Branch Rickey Did The eminent deacon of baseball, Branch Rickey, took it upon himself the other day to predict that the Double-A leagues of baseball would not survive the coming season because of the scarcity of '43 Int.

Now the deacon is joined in the moaning section by his old boss, Sam Breadon, owner and president of the St. Louis Cardinals. Breadon isn't predicting the end of the big minors in wartime. He is concerned about all baseball, which includes his own Cardinals and the major leagues. He simply fears there will not be enough ball players to keep the clubs going, in view of the volume in which they have gone into the armed forces and industry since the close of the 1943 campaign.

The record shows Hamlin pitched the most shutouts, eight, with five of them against the Syracuse Chiefs. He shared the longest winning streak, eight games, with Joe Page, of Newark, and Klieman.

After all on active submarine duty under months. competition with the Army. That approval of Naval Academy offi first recommendation. Four others unwisely, his fears of supplying King ships a few months before the United States Golf Association de clared him a professional for engaging in the sporting goods busi ness. The then, as now, affable Francis did nothing about his ineligibility until after he returned from World War in which he served as an infantry lieutenant.

Then the golfing fathers returned him to their bosoms and invited him to play on the first of the American Walker Cup teams in 1921. Missed One Goal During his long competitive career, Ouimet participated in 26 National Amateur tournaments, 6 National Opens. 7 British Ama teurs, 1 British Open, and he was a member of all the Walker Cup teams. But he only achieved one of his two most pressing golfing ambitions. After winning the National Ama teur again in 1931, after a 17-year lapse, uuimet said: always wanted to win that title twice.

You can be lucky and do it once, but you have to be good to do it twice." He also was eager to win the British Amateur crown but he was un able to get beyond the semi-finals in six tries. Still Skillful Player Business affairs, rather than advancing years, drove Ouimet out of competition as he nearer! the 40 mark. But there have been many times during the past decade when, playing in friendly foursomes, he has played the best golf of his life. Hailed by Bernard Darwin, the famous British golf writer, as "the most popular golfer to come out of America," Ouimet now looks to be in his late thirties. Time has wought only a slight physical change in his wiry physique but it apparently has sharpened his phenomenal memory.

On sight he can call by first names people he has not seen in more than a quarter century and remind them of long forgotten golfing incidents. Never Used Alibi Simplicity, directness and the desire to do well at all times and in all branches of life shaped the Ouimet course. He never was known to criticize a rival or utter an alibi. He took the worst beating of his career, an 11 and 10 setback in the 1924 National Amateur. "I simply was beaten by a belter man," 'Ouimet said as he silenced commiserating friends.

That "better man" was none other than Bobby Jones, then en gaged in winning the first of his four National Amateur titles. Philadelphia, Jan. 26 JP) Bob Montgomery today was on the comeback trail toward his lost lightweight title with fire in his eye after blasting Ike Williams, the Trenton, N. terror into oblivion in the last round of their scheduled 12-rounder at Convention Hall last night. Pointing toward his promised re turn title match with Beau Jack, the Philadelphia Bobcat hammered Williams for 11 rounds.

The end came for the Trenton lightweight in 2 minutes'and 49 seconds of the final stanza. 32-Win Skein Snapped A fight-thirsty crowd, officially announced at 14,807, paid $55,829 to see the Bobcat start his comeback by blasting Williams 32-bout winning streak with a drumming body attack that softened the Trenton boy up for the final smash. As Williams came out for the last round he walked into a flock of straight rights that floored him twice for counts of eight. As the Trenton fighter lifted his beaten body from the canvas for the sec ond time Montgomery whanged over another right that caught Williams flush on the jaw and draped him face down over the lower rope. Ike Set Early Pace His face buried in typewriters and cameras in the press row, the Trenton battler was counted out by Referee Ernie Sesto, of Pittsburgh.

His handlers worked over him for almost four minutes before he was able to sit up. Williams opened the battle with blistering pace that had the screaming crowd on its feet, but it was only a stout heart that kept him flinging leather in the last few Montgomery, unmoved by Wil liams whamming leather at him from all angles in the early rounds, tucked his chin under his shoulder and kept boring in relentlessly. In the end his tactics paid off as he blacked out Williams for the first time in the Trenton fighter's career. Slowed Down In Third Williams began to slow down in the third and it was then Mont gomery really began his inside belting. He smacked punches into Ike's midrift throughout the third round and had Williams wobbly with a left hook at the bell.

Ike came back in the fifth round with a few of his bolo punches and some stiff left jabs. The Bob cat grabbed the lead again in the sixth, however, and from then on just whittled at his target. Hank Victorious Kansas City, Jan. 26 (JP) Ham- merin' Henry Armstrong, romping along the comeback trail, won another knockout victory here last night and a host of well-wishers In his quest for at least one of the three titles he once held. Shortly after the bout the Negro's manager, George Moore, announced they were moving eastward; that he had signed Armstrong for a 10-round bout with Lew Hanbury in Washington, February 7.

The former featherweight-lightweight-welterweight king knocked out Saverio Turiello, of New York, in the seventh round of their scheduled 12-rounder. But it was not the many of the ringsiders to Ham merin Henry's hopes so much as it was the manner in which he did it. Like the "perpetual motion" of old, he never stopped shooting his triphammer blows, both arms con stantly swinging. Three times be fore the finish Turiello was down for nine-counts. Henry weighed 144 pounds for the bout.

Thus, whether he is out to recapture the lightweight, welterweight or both titles might depend a great deal on circumstances. Carter-Cooper The middleweights have been strangely quiet of late in fistic mat ters here, but they'll get a chance next week to strutt their stuff when the Century Athlet'ic Club offers its weekly program at the Coliseum. Jackie Cooper, Chicagoan. and Joe Carter, Rome N. Y.

walloper, have been paired for the 10-round feature test. Both lads have appeared here, and of the two Carter possesses the slightly better record. The Chicagoan made his debut here with Jess Maroney and won impressive ly. Joe dropped a decision to How ard Bennett, but he rebounded from that defeat to win over Johnny Morris in four rounds. Cooper has split even in two appearances at the Monroe st.

arena. Jackie beat Cecil Hudson in his local debut, then dropped a decision to hard-hitting Steve Belloise. Since their appearances here Carter and Cooper have been fighting around New York, and the former boasts wins over such worthies as Cocoa Kid, Ruben Shanks, Izzy Jannazzo and boxed a draw with Jose Basora in Madi son Square Garden. Oldtime Fan San Diego, Jan. 26 (JP) H.

P. Wood. 80, retired Neche (N. publisher, isn't the most rabid boxing fan, but he likes to see a professional bout at least occasionally. So he decided to attend a match here.

The last professional fight he saw was in 1887, when, as a staff member of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, he saw John L. Sullivan, the first heavyweight champion, win a decision over Patsy Cardiff in Minneapolis. Schoberlein PointerStar A new sharpshooting forward. John Schoberlein, joined the Col gate club of the Point Breeze court league last night and celebrated his debut by tallying 20 points to star in Colgate's 38 23 upset of leading Piece Hates at Fourteen Holy Martyrs Hall.

Rubber Shop downed the Machinists, 32-17, in another game. Al Keene's 15 points normally would have been enough to keep Piece Rates at the head of the standings, where it has been tied with Specials. However, Colgate's new marksman, who weighs 230 pounds and stands 6 feet 3, sank nine field goals and two fouls and almost single-handedly toppled the leaders. Ouimet, 50, Still Plays Bang-Up Game Of Golf It has developed that Mason-Dixon Conference basket-ball officials were correct in their appraisals of the strength of Catholic University and Mount St. Mary's in this season's hardwood race, and their power definitely makes them the teams to beat.

And next best is Loyola College, which has been able to take the lower-bracket quints in stride, but not the hoop units holding the top and second rungs of the league ladder. Top Fives Do Not Meet Mount St. Mary's light conference schedule sort of precludes the team's chances of losing in the Mason-Dixon wheel, for the Em-mitsburgers, meeting Camp De-trick, of Frederick, tonight on their own floor, do not tangle with Catholic Universty. On the basis of performances to date, a match between C. U.

and the Mounties would be something to see, for each has scoring power. experience, size and all-around ability. Loyola gave the Mountaineers plenty of argument before losing a five-point decision last Saturday, but the manner in which Catholic poured it on the Greyhounds last night in Washington was a bit on the startling side. 'Hounds Face Job When the final whistle blew the Cardinals were 20 points out in I front, and the Greyhounds pretty much out of the title scrap unless they can show a form reversal in return encounters with Mount St. Mary's and Catholic University.

Lven then the idea of overhaul ing the top teams is slim, because the Mounties have a wide edge on their other loop rivals yet to be met, while C. not testing St. Mary's, doesn't figure to be upset by second-section quints. Next action in the conference is due Friday night, when Hopkins travels to Washington to meet Gal-laudet. Other game on the hardwood agenda tonight is at College Park, where University of Maryland takes on Fort Belvoir soldiers at 8 o'clock.

Navy opposes Temple in a late afternoon game at Annapolis. The Owls have lost three in a row, so will be out to upset the Midshipmen. Coast Guard The Cutters' basket-ball team has finally filled its court date for Saturday night. Coast Guard will meet Camp Detrick at the Y. M.

Neic YorkI By Bill Boston, Jan. 26 (JP) If the roll of 50-year-old ex national champions were called and they were ordered to demonstrate their old-time skill one of the very few who could obey would be Francis Ouimet, the first American golfer to gain international fame.

Now a busy Boston businessman in the manufacture of oil coolers for airplane motors and a coming personage in golf's highest executive circles, Ouimet still can turn in a round of golf that would compare favorably with those that startled the world back in 1913, when, as. a 19-year-old caddy, he won the National Open title in a playoI7 with England's supposedly invincible Harry Vardon and Ted Ray on a course a stone's throw from his Brookline (Mass.) birthplace. Once Declared Pro In 1914 Ouimet pronounced ttfr int'l Rained the first of his two National Amateur champion- Cagers Begin Second Half Winner of three straight games and third-place occupant in the first round, Westinghouse will be favored to continue its splurge when Fourteen Holy Martyrs' A.

court as the Baltimore Basket-Bali League's second-half race gets under way. Students' Book, which finished fourth in the intial round, tackles Stonewall in the second game. Hard-Luck Club Westinghouse was regarded the "hard-luck" club in the first round, losing only two' games, a 44-43 overtime tilt to Knights of Columbus and a 37-36 decision to Cummins. Completing their schedules with six won, one lost records, the Knights and Cummins met in a playoff game for top honors, the latter winning 45-43. Bernie Wallcnhorst paced Westinghouse in the first round, scoring 71 of his team's 323 points.

He was fifth in scoring. Opponents tallied 25 markers against the Electricians. Good Start, But student's Book was the "dark horse" in early season play, win rung from Bethlehem-Fairfield, Monewall, fourteen Holy Martyrs ana Lummins, Deiore dropping a 28-37 decision to the Knights and subsequently lost to Lithuanians 45-41, and Westinghouse, 37-36. Maryland Club HooDsters Set For Abbreviated Race 'iHAi The Maryland Club League, reorganized after forfeit-pocked first round, enters its second phase tonight at School No. 56.
