i of SPORTS Gage Dope and Figures Coincide Beloit, (AP) There appears to be a close relationship be-tween the unofficial statewide rankings of high school basketball teams as compiled by Herman L. Jacobson, Beloit coach, and the remaining contenders for the Wisconsin cage title as the final phase of the WIAA tourney whirl nears. Out of the 16 teams listed as the state's best, 11 are still going strong while three of the 14 quintets given honorable mention also are holding title possibilities. The survivors, as sectional play approaches, are Madison West, rated first, Ashland (2) Neenab (5), Wisconsin Rapids. (6), Waukesha 7), Eau Claire (8), Antigo (10), Horlcon (11), Shawano (12), Racine Park 13), Tomah 14, of ROUNDUP By HUGH FIXLISBTON, JR.

I mm'- -s i i I Coaches Differ On Gage System Chicago, (AP) There may be a trend from offense to defer' in intercollegiate, basketball this season, but some Western Conference coaches don't 'seem to think -o. During the past season, six of the nine teams showed drops in the average totals per game, but Coach Doug Mills of Illinois said: "I don't know if the same situation would hold true all over the countryi but I believe in' the Western Conference the smaller scores were the result of more freshmen and fewer experienced players this year." Coach Arthur (Dutch) Looborg of Northwestern4 had a' -similar "There was a trend the pat sea-bon, toward possession of the ball, and toward less fast-breaking by the offense. But I don't -believe it was a definite trend toward less scoring.

It was partly material," he. said. Mills' Illini were one pt the three clubs to show a gain in scoring the past season and, oddly, last place Indiana and Minnesota, tied for sixth in the conference, were the. nthera Minnesota, iumnjirf frnm an for weeks, "where's Haegg?" asfsportsman'" Park For eight him as a blocker and field general. McKeever sent that $15 back to Notre Dame a dollar at a time.

The personable McKeever aspired to be a sports writer, sports-caster and football official, but turned down a job on the Sherman, Democrat at $12 a week because he had to do the court reporting, too, and didn't know about that So he remained as Cawthon's backfield coach for five years, and might still be at Texas Tech had not Frank Leahy come along selling rubber-soled shoes. Leahy, then attached to Fordham and for some years an obscure line coach, offered his services to coaching schools throughout the country as a means of entree, in connection with his merchandise. McKeever demonstrated back-field stuff at Cawthon's school, and Leahy knew a coach when he saw one. The pair hit it off well from, the start, attended mass together. "If I ever get a head job, I'd like to have McKeever," Leahy told Cawthon.

Salesman Leahy subsequently average of 34.75 points per. game I -last, year to 44 this year. Indiana's scoring rose from 43.5 in 1944 to i 49.33 this year. I The comnarad with! last year: i Team Iowa 1944 1945 50.3S 49.33 1 By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor New York, Ed McKeever witches to Cornell, there to write another chapter in the exciting story of the Cinderella coaches. I like to relate the story of Knute Rockae having 32 teams on the field the last time the little Dane conducted spring practice at old Notre Dame.

It was cold and snowing that afternoon, in 1931, and Pete Cawthon, in the light duds they wear In the cow country, was there to see what he could see. Capt. Marchmont Schwartz handed Ol Pete a windbreaker, and that oddly enough, is how young McKeever got to Texas Tech, Coach Cawthon telling Schwartz to let him know if he could ever do anything for him. Before the month was -out the plane carrying Rock to the coast plummeted to the Kansas plain. Hunk Anderson' became head coach at Notre Dame, Numerous scholarships were cancelled, With no more financial assistance, some boys had to leave.

One was sophomore McKeever, then on the third team. Cawthon's telephone rang at Lubbock. It was Marchy Schwartz calling from South Bend. Could the coach use a pretty good halfback? He was a Texan, and the players would chip in to give him his rail road fare. They collected $15 in quarters and halves, and McKeever was on his way.

He rode a bus to St. Louis, where he hopped a freight, arrived at Lubbock with nothing more than the clothes on his back, and they were dirty and on, the shoddy side. McKeever had to lay out a year because of the transfer rule, but Cawthon had three big years with Gears in First ame By The Associated Press Chicago held a one-game lead ov er Sheboygan in the National Bas ketball League's western division layoff -today as the result of a 0-49 win on the Redskins' home court last night.

Surprisingly, Iowa's high-geared Hawkeyes who Saturday won their first undisputed team, title in hisT tory placed only guard Jlerb Wilk inson on the all-star quintet. Runner-up Ohio State, on the other hand, landed two berths, both filled, by repeaters from Jast year's Associated Press honor five -r-forward Don Grate and center Arnold (Stilts) Risen.

The other position went to Walt' (Junior) Kirk, Illinois' veteran guard, who missed only one of a possible 18 votes.

He should be right down your alley, too; for he's a Notre Dame man who was coached by Rockne." I So Leahy went to Boston College and took McKeever with him. You know the rest. And now Ed McKeever is at Cornell, where salesman Frank Leahy stumbled into the Cinderella coaches' first big opportunity, If Sheboygan wins tonight's game, the deciding tilt will be played on the Redskin court Thursday night.

The Gears, trailing the Redskins by four points with six minutes remaining, closed the gap and took a one-point lead which they protected by stalling through the last two minutes. Chicago led at halftime 32-28. Dick Triptow, former DePaul University eager, with 14 points, and Elmer Gainer with .13, paced the winners.
