Minneapolis Eager For Big League Club WASHINGTON, Aug. Washington Senators, looking to beat the Cleveland Indians to the punch, will petition American League to move to Minneapolis either before or during the World Series, United Press International learned today. Two Senator officials who were opposed to the move resigned suddenly Friday to ease the way for the franchise shift. inniQ NpPfk two men who quit were club I Ivvllj secretary and attorney John E.

Loss of Tom Haller, talented three-sport star, who signed a professional baseball bonus contract with the San Francisco Giants in February was a blow to lllini hopes. Haller, after some shaky moments as a sophomore in 1956. took over as number one signal caller after last opener with U.C.L.A.

He improved rapidly, and became one of the Big leading quarterbacks. With Haller gone, Bob Hickey, 6-114, 188-pound Chicago (Lindblom) junior, probably will get first call. He came to the lllini with a reputation as one of the finest passers in Chicago prep football in recent years. Hickey still is an excellent passer and has demonstrated unsual running ability for a quarterback. He lacked consistency last season, but that is not unusual for sophomore quarterbacks in the Big Ten.

Hickey was used as first-team quarterback in spring practice. He gave an amazing passing demonstration in annual intra-squad game when he completed seven of II passes in a steady downpour. If Hickey come through, Bill Offenbecher, two-letter winner from Alliance. Ohio, might get the call. Offenbecher, too, has shown signs of inconsistency, but could develop into a steadier quarterback during his senior year.

He still is best remembered for his second half engineering of 20-13 upset of top-ranking Michigan State in 1956. He is an average passer, runs the team well, and plays defense adequately. Offenbecher also played fine football in intra-squad game last spring, completing five of seven aerials. Only Five Feet, Eight. Champaign sophomore John Easterbrook is sure to become a crowd favorite.

At 5-8, 155 pounds, Easterbrook will be one of the smallest lllini players in years. But he is fast and tough and has the athletic intelligence and running and passing ability to succeed in a game of much bigger men. Easterbrook was considered number three quarterback in spring practice. He could see considerable action this fall despite his lack of size and experience. Biggest ques- tion mark concerning Easterbrook is whether he can handle defensive AuS- assignments adequately Pros were back on of tl Paul Golaszewski Ml, 175-pound heaP in goIf Harvey (Thornton) sophomore, may be the among lllini quarterback candidates.

a good enough passer, needs only experience and defensive development. Russ Martin, talented Carbondale newcomer, runs and plays defense well, but is not as good a passer as Golaszewski. Martin, a 6-0, 180-pounder, batted .327 with baseball team last spring. Other candidates include: Ken CALVIN GRIFFITH this week that they will move their franchise in 1959 "unless their sagging attendance shows a substantial increase. Dooms Minor Loop.

The only discouraging note as far as a possible move to Minneapolis is concerned came from Tommy Thomas, general manager of the Minneapolis Millers, who said the American Associatior would be doomed if a majoi league club moved in. Thomas said any move to Min neapolis by either the Senators oi Indians would force two Americar Association teams Minneapolis and St. Paul move or disband. know where they would move if they wanted he declared, American Association will be ruined if these twe clubs are out of Mayor P.
