So it was interested to set after it had placed five games his slant on his Badeer ouintet in 11 days; Wisconsin won four next jrame with Kansas State and lost one but played somewhat spotty offensive ball.

"You can't blame the kids too much for that spotty offensive play," said Foster, "for we have spent very little time on our own offense since we opened the season. "We didn't have the time," he explained, "for we were too busy getting ready defensively for the next opponent." That seems like a reasonable observation. After all.

Foster's teams. He'll send in a substitute with instructions, and they'll come up with a defense to stop us." How good a team can Wisconsin be! Foster thinks this can be a along the right lines.

Only a secondary player on each team is holding up the four-for- iwo transaction which would send First Baseman Eddie Robinson and another Senator to the Yankees in exchange for George "Snuffy" Stirnweiss, Dick Kryhoski, Don Johnson and an unnamed fourth flayer.

Clark Griffith, the 80-year-old president of the Nats, said he is waiting only for a telephone call from Yankee gen-1 manager, George Weiss, before complet- ing the deal or calling it off. However, it hardly seems likely that the. deal will blow up because the Yanks are ex-' tremely interest- i edin keeping' Robinson away from the Detroit Tigers. Billy ROBINSON Detroit gen-, eral manager, also is in phone contact with. Griffith and badly wants Robinson.

The first sacker, if sent to Detroit, would complete Manager Red Rolfe's infield which is- now made up of Gerry Priddy at second, George Kell at third, and Johnny Lipon at shortstop. That with Robinson included, plus Detroit's excellent mound staff and better than average out- Peld could carry- the Tigers to an American League pennant in 1950. The Yankees undoubtedly will sgree to Griffith's wishes before seeing Robinson help a team which could beat them out of a title in 1950. "We're only waiting for Weiss' phone call," said Calvin Griffith, the Nats' second-in-command, "before making a deal." He explained that only another player, in addition to Robinson, stands in the way. Presumably, the New Yorkers want either Out-felder Eddie Stewart or a pitcher other than Rae Scarborough, while the Nats are after Duane Piletle or an outfielder for the fourth Yankee.

Kerr Happy to Get Away From 'Llppy' YORK (JP) Fancy-field ing Buddy Kerr, one of the key figures of the gigantic six-man trade engineered by New York and Boston, said Thursday he regretted leaving the Giants but was happy to get away from Manager Leo Lippy Durocher. Kerr, who spent seven years with the Giants before being shipped along with Willard Mar shall, Sid Gordon and Sam Webb to the Braves for Alvin Dark and Stanky. also said he was eager to play for Billy Southworth, whom he considerj one of the ablest managers in baseball. I II be happier in Boston be cause Southworth is myidea of a fine man and manager," the 27-year-old native New Yorker said. "I hid an idea I was going to be traded as far back as last summer.

"It's just as well it turned out the way it did," he added, "be cause I was. prepared to confront Leo. this spring and tell him to either play me regularly or send rne away. "I'm still young and feel I have a good many big league seasons left. But I can't prove it by sitting on the bench.

You can't make any money that way. Contrary to general belief. Kerr never had serious words with Du rocher except once. But let Buddy tell it. I ve read those stories, but there is little truth to them." he said.

"How can I have fought with him when he rarely ever spoke to me? Right from the start he didn't Ihink much of me as a shortstop. He never told me so but gave me to understand that in many other ways.

"You remember that little bet I had with you and 'Dutch' Midland on the 1946-47 opener at Madison?" he asked. 'Well, I still haven't forgiven you for that wire. "It was bad enough to.

wire me in Pasadena (Illinois' football team played in the Rose Bowl that year) that Your Whix Kids lost'," he continued, "but the worse part was that you didn't even give the score- Wisconsin defeated Illinois in the 1946-47 opener and used that as a springhoard to. win the Western Conference championship; Illinois defeated Wisconsin in the 1948-49 opener and went on to win the championship. The winner of the game here ou'Jan. 3 has no copyright on the lOIH-oO Western Conference championship, but. victory in that game will be highly important to teams that are rated championship contenders.

And Coach Harry Combes of Illinois is getting ready for that opener by playing a pre-conference schedule that compares favorably in ruggednes3 with Wisconsin's, Among the foes Illinois will have met before the Wisconsin opener are Butler, Toledo, Oklahoma (twice), Arkansas, St. Louis, U.C.L.A., Columbia and Princeton. West, Racine Park Clash in First-Game at 7:30 By MONTE McCORMICK (Stat Journal Sports Wrltar) One of the finest high school basketball attractions to be held in Madison this season can be seen tonight at the university field house when Mad ison's three Big Eight Conference representatives take part in a doubleheader.

plenty of room to sit and enjoy it. Tickets for the doubleheader are cents. Important Clash So far, West has done little to become a feared foe in the Big Eight. Park's claim to fame in the league is an upset victory over Be-loit; it dropped its other two games to hold a spot just abov the Regents who are alone in the cellar without a victory this season either in the Big Eight or non-conference play. But.

as usual, there will be con siderable at stake when Central and East take the court about 20 minutes after the windup of the West-Park battle. The game tonight will be a nighty important one both in city series and Big Eight competition for East and Central. The two share second place in the Big Eight with Kenosha, so the victor to-nicht will remain in the thick of the conference championship race. Seek 3-1 Records The winner between East and Central tonight also will take a pood lead in the city series race. Central defeated West in the only game played In the series so iar.

If the Orange and Black wins tonight, they will go into the holiday recess with three wins and one defeat in the Big Eight and two Victories and no defeats in city series competition. If East wins tonight, It will start its Christmas vacation with a 3-1 record in the Big Eight and a one won and no loss record in city play. West Lineup Chanced West will start a revamped line up against Park, but Central and East will present the same starters as a week ago. Tom Mack replaces Owen Roberts at forward and Jackie Mansfield takes Evert Wal- lenfeldt's center post. The other three West starters will be Forward Jim Clapp, and Guards Bill Marshall and Jerry Quinn.

The only question in Central's front will be Bob King or Gary Goth at one forward. Others will be Forward Jim Conner, Center Jim Waters, and Guards Ray Disch and Tony Motisi. East will start Forwards Ronnie Schara and Dave Johnson. Center Leo Schllcht. and Guards Wendell Gulseth and Lloyd Sarbacker.

Peterson Nicholas Oeldmacher Official: Robs Dean. Purdue, and Cleo Dlehl. Northwestern. Wisconsin's basketball team will try to make it two straight over Marquette and five victories In six starts when it meets the Hill-toppers Saturday night at 8:30 at the Milwaukee Auditorium.

The Badgers opened their season in the university field house on Dec. 3 against Marquette and scored a 63-48 victory. Logically, Wisconsin will be a strong favorite, but Marquette has come up with some rousing upsets in the past on the Auditorium court. Dick Peterson Ready Dick Peterson, veteran Mar quette forward who was injured in a game against Houston on Dec. 10.

will be ready to play against Wisconsin but is not listed as a likely starter. Coach Bill Chandler will start either Joe Faupl or Sammy Sau-ceda at the forward opposite Gene Schramka; Francis Ramirez will be at center, and Mel Peterson and Russ Geldmacher at guards. Wisconsin's -starting lineup probably will be the same as the one that scored successive victories oyer strong Loyola and Notre Dame teams. That means that the Badgers will open with Fred Schneider and Fred Bencris-cutto at forwards, Don Reh-feldt at center, and Bobby Mader and Al Nicholas at guards. May Use Many Reserves Wisconsin will play Missouri at Columbia, next Tuesday.

Giants Buy Tex' Hughson NEW YORK (JP) The New York Giants took a step toward bolstering their mediocre relief pitching department Thursday witn ihe announcement of the purchase of Cecil "Tex" Hughson from the Boston Red Sox. The purchase price was believed to be in excess of the $10,000 waiver figure.

Hughson, plagued by a sore arm during the past three years, won four and lost two last year. Coming up from Louisville in 1941, the righthander enjoyed his biggest season the following year when he won 22 and lost six. Dykes and Mickey Cochrane, when those two old baddies from tbe Philadelphia Athletics were running things for the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers, respectively. Their "trade feuds" were famous, with Dykes usually coming out on top. But since baseball developed into such a tremendous business involving corporations hcy can't operate that way any more.

Southworth and Leo Durocher of the Giants were in and out of conferences and telephone booths from the final out in the World Series until the middle of this week trying to settle their problems. Schuster Scores Only Knockout to Win at 175 Nearly 3,000 Fans See Rousing Show for Charity Fund By HENRY J. McCORMICK State Journal Sports Editor) "Wallace Morrick, a rough, tough boy from Rhinelander who won the 135-pound championship Thursday night at the university field house in the 16th annual Tournament of Contenders, also won the most coveted trophy in the meet when he was awarded the "Best Contender Trophy." A crowd of around 3,000 saw the finals of this tournament, and a rough guess is that The Wisconsin State Journal Empty Stocking Club bene fited to the extent of around $1,250. This, was a typically rousing Wisconsin" boxing show, and one of the major surprises came at 175 pounds where Don Schuster and Claude Koontz, both of Chica go, were to have put on a bout in which either might be flattened. Schuster Regains Title Schuster, defending champion and winner last year of the "Best Contender didn't waste much time showing that he was the big guy.

He slipped over a straight right at 37 seconds of the first round. Kobntz bounced off the resin-dusted canvas, then tried to get up like a man who had weights on his chest. The fight was stopped then and there. Morrick had no easy path to winning either the championship of his division or the "Best Contender Trophy," for he was paired against Sam Costanza, a varsity wrestler and a boy who had earned a finals berth with some fine battling. They went after each other hammer, and tongs, and Morrick had to come from behind to gain the decision because Costanza won the first round.

Morrick Had to Be Good Furthermore, Morrick had to be good to win that most coveted of all trophies which Ray Nelson, State street jeweler gives each year, for there were other worthy candidates. There was Schuster, for one. And there were two in the final heavyweight bout who might have won it, for Madison's Gordon Kowing and New Richmond's Gerald Meath went after each other like a couple of guys who liked no part of each other. Then there was Dick Murphy of Milwaukee at 165, a defending champion and a boy who has class, and you couldn't exclude his opponent, Dick Rowland of Stough-ton, a kid with a heart as big as a watermelon. Three Retain Crowns There were four defending champions who went out to try and repeat Thursday night, and three of them did just that.

Madison's Tommy Zamzow, repea'ed at 130 pounds Murphy repeated at 165, and Schuster repeated at 175 with what might be described as emphasis. The fourth defending champion was Wayne Hoffman of Cedar- burg, and he bowed to stout-heart ed Walt Nichols of Madison at 155 pounds. This was the University of Wis consin's first boxing show of the 1949-50 season, and the next one will not be until the All-University lournament next month.

The Philadelphia Athletics had to consult their brain-trust before landing Bob Dillinger and Paul Lehner from the St. Louis Browns for players and $100,000 in cash, although it appeared to be one of those spur-of-the-moment deals out of the past. Everybody wanted something: but few wanted to make a serious move for fear of getting the worst of a deal.

The Bears received $59,913 and the Cards $52,718. Coast Trip Cost $15,000 But both the Bears and Cards had to spend roughly $15,000 for the three-day all expense trip for a traveling party of nearly 50 from Chicago to Los Angeles and back, compared with a round trip bus ride across town for the games here. Thus their profit on the local games was far greater. San Francisco made money despite a low average ticket price, $1.79.

But the Los Angeles Dons, with a $1.80 figure, were the biggest losers in the game. The Chicago Hornets, with an average price of $2.40 and poor crowds, also took a heavy beating. The Philadelphia Eagles' average price was $2.95. The three New York teams Yankees, Giants and Bulldogs collected an average of $3.00 per Estimated losses for other clubs were around $200,000 for Baltimore, between $150,000 and for Buffalo, and between $73 -000 and 100,000 for the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Giants. Durocher's 'Kind of Club Taking Shape NEW YORK (JP) Manager Leo Durocher's "kind of a ball club" is starting to shape at the Polo Grounds.

Durocher, peppery manager of the New York Giants, has virtually scrapped the home run hitting but slew running team he inherited from Mel Ott in July, 1948. Convinced that sheer power would not bring a pennant to the Polo- Grounds, Durocher is importing the type of players that brought title honors at Brooklyn in 1947. After beginning house cleaning during the past season by disposal of two vaunted sluggers, Johnny Mize and Walker Cooper, Leo made another big move toward his ultimate goal Wednesday. He sent Outfielder Willard Marshall, Shortstop Kerr, Outfielder-Third Baseman Sid Gor don and Pitcher Sam Webb to Boston for the keystone combination of Eddie Stanky' and Alvin Dark.

And how they used to needle each other the following year if one of them got the better of an in Milwaukee next season while playing four at home.

This is one more league game in Green Bay than the Packers have been playing there for the past several years. An indication that the Packers and Chicago Bears will be in the same division of the National-American Football League is seen in the announcement by Coach "Curly" Lambeau that the and Bears again will have a home-and-home arrangement. Commissioner Bert Bell announced earlier that only teams in the same division will meet each other twice during the season. This year's Oklahoma basketball team has a towering front line that averages almost 6-7. In that front line are Forwards Wayne Glasgow (6-3) and Bill Waters (6-6) and Center Marcus Freiberger (6-11).

Others who showed a profit were the Pittsburgh Steel- ers, Washington Redskins, Phila delphia Eagles, and the Chicago Cardinals of the National Football League, and the San Francisco Forty-Niners of the All-America Conference. Every other team in the two circuits lost with the New York Yankees reportedly second to the Dons in disfavor, dropping an estimated $340,000.. Both the New York Bulldogs and the Chicago Hornets lost about. $300,000, Home game attendance was not the only factor in making or losing money. The matter of ticket prices, usually not considered in pro football, also played an important role.

Bears' Prices Highest The Bears, for instance, received about $3.40 for each ticket Sold, the highest average jJrice in pro football. The Cardinals were next with an average of about $3.10. The Los Angeles Rams averaged nearly 50,000 at home games, but the Rams reportedly dropped $100,000. The average ticket price for Rams games was" $2.09 before taxes. Comparing the a r-C a games here with their games at Los Angeles is an example of how the ticket price worked.

When the Bears played at the Cardinals, the net gate was about $134,333 for 52,000 fans with the Bears' 40 per cent share about $53,733. The game at Wrigley Field drew 51,000 for a net of $141,952 with the Cards receiving about $56,781.
