8 January 16, 1947. BOX Hogan Favorite In Richmond Open By BILL LUCAS The advance guard of Cleveland Indians is due to arrive in Tucson on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week to take part in the hitting school to be conducted by Rogers Hornsby. Catcher Jim Hegan. Hornsby, and Trainer Max Cardinal a are slated to spend a week at Rancho del Jefe before moving to town. They will be joined by Outfielder Jim Seerey on Thursday, according to the latest word received here.

Hegan, Seerey, and Weisman will be accompanied by their wives and Hornsby by his son. Infielder Joe Gordon is expected here Feb. 10. Tne pitchers and catchers are to report here Feb. 24, right after the Tucson rodeo, with the rest of the squad slated to arrive Mar.

1. Pitchers Bobby Feller and Ray Poat are expected here before the start of the training season and others may also drift in early providing they can rustle up accommodations. -m. IN BORDER CONFERENCE Trippi To Sign RICHMOND LEADER Arizona Five 11 JTIVT With Chicag Grenville Mott, sports editor of El Paso Times, really has something to gripe about. He points out that Holliday hall where the College of Mines plays its cage games, has a seating capacity of all of .650 and "was clearly designed with the idea of driving the customers away." Mott points out that "among those turned away were two Arizona fans who had driven all of the way from Phoenix to witness the game," This is confirmed by a phone call received by UA athletic officials who were quite powerless to aid in the situation.

Also turned away were many New Mexicans who had raced down from Las Cruces at the conclusion of a four-day extension service meet at the Aggie college that day. Others who tried and failed included a large contingent of soldiers from Fort Bliss, "who promptly hastened to Juarez to heal their injured feelings." To make matters worse there was a parking jam that prevented many of those who had failed to gain admittance from getting their cars out of the maze. They were in the sad predicament of being neither able to get in or to go home--or perhaps to Juarez. Outbid Yanks For Georgia Star 3V EW YORK, Jan, 16. Charley Trippi, all-America grid star, told the Associated Press today he had decided to sign contract with the Chicago Cardinals to play professional football in the National league.

In an exclusive interview while en route to the offices of the New York Yankees, Trippi said he was declining an offer made by the Yankee organization to paly both football and baseball. The Chicago Cardinals have "made me the highest offer ever given a player in pro football," the Georgia ace from Pittston, disclosed. "It is much better than the Yankee offer." America bauK, was expected to announce (at 10 a. m. EST) today whether he would sign with the combined New York football and baseball Yankees or with the Chicago Cardinals of the National football league.

The 24-year-old football and baseball star'from Pittston, spent nearly all day yesterday dickering with the rival bidders. After spending three hours closeted with Yankee officials, Trippi conferred with Charley Bidwell, owner of the Chicago Cardinals. The Yankee officials were President Larry MacPhail and Manager BucKy Harris of the baseball club and President Dan Topping and Coach Ray Flaherty of the All-America conference's football Yankees. The Yankees football and baseball combine wants Trippi as a "name" player for the turnstile battle with the National football A i i i -1 i- leaguo's New York Giants. But Arch Ward, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, digs.

tho yanks arc bucking a foot- Latest reports indicate that 3,000 jammed their way into the New Mexico gym last Saturday at Albuquerque before the gates were closed and that some even hung from the rafters to see the Lobo-Wildcat fracas. It's amazing how the cage game has grown without the amount of ballyhoo that has been drummed over football. By JOE NEW YORK, Jan. 16. Charley Trippi, Georgia's all- Lincoln Richmond, University of Arizona forward, who ranks sixth nationally among collegiate basketball scorers, tops the Border conference with a total of 93 points.

(IP)-- One dissenter to the National Collegiate Athletic association's new "purity" code is its outgoing president, Dr. Wilbur Smith of the -University of Wyoming. He wants to give the hard-working college athlete his just reward.

He says "the most honest" conferences are those which give the greatest amount of aid to athletes. Dr. Smith, who came to Wyoming as student health director by way of Tulane and Louisiana State, made public today a statement pleading for frankness in dealing with aid to athletes. He said he read the statement before a closed session of the NCAA "purity" meeting last week in New York but was quietly ignored as the association adopted its code Restricting such aid and approving boycotts against nonconforming schools.

He says: "This department suggests the Big Nine conference give more serious consideration next year to the selection of the team to represent it in the Rose Bowl. The tieup with the Coast conference is a desirable sports enterprise, but uneven competition will kill it.

Perhaps the team that finishes last in the 1947 Big Nine should be chosen for the Rose Bowl. "The champion of the Coast conference might be able to give the tailender in the Middle West a pretty fair game. --Darned if we're not getting to write like those Los Angeles authors!" Did somebody howl "We want Arm-ee?" ball magnate in Bidwell who re gards Trippi as the greatest attraction in football today and declares "I'm going to get him-I've got to." The Yankees are reported to have offered Trippi a four-year contract at $00,000 to play football plus an undisclosed but reportedly fat sum for signing a basetaal contract. Bidwell also offered $60,000 for four years of play with the Cardinals plus an unrevealed bonus and freedom to play baseball anywhere Trippi pleases. Trippi also has received baseball propositions from, the Boston Red Sox, the Boston Braves, and Barney Armstrong, wrestling promoter who finds him- the Philadelphia Phillies, and from self without a place to promote the groan and grunt in- du nitely stfales hat th not and that there is not another suitable building.

"Recent articles," he said, "would lead us to believe that athletic conditions in the colleges are worse than they were 50 years ago.

This is not true. Many of ns can still recall the tramp athlete who migrated from year to year from one institution to another, the training table without regulation, recruiting without conscience and sub- rosa pay to athletes." Dr. Sinith declared development of the body must be emphasized as much as development of the mind, and he added: "Why not honor the physical side to some small degree at least? Do we who believe in and love athletics not have the courage to honor physical attainment? We do not hesitate to award scholarships for so-called noy the opposition no end. Stomped on by the smaller schools in the vicinity, broken up by the loss of two lettermen in the opening four games and Tucson's (mights 'Badgers lineup for the week end, it looked like curtains a few days ago. But out of sheer desperation was born a new style of play that has filled the tribe's gym lately with crowds reminiscent of bonanza days at Nogales high school.

He was the golfer involved in an altercation with tournament direc- Fred Corcoran during the Del Monte play. He wired in that he would be unable to attend.

Hogan's greatest competition is expected to come from a quartet composed of Harold "Jug" McSpaden, who burned up the course with a practice round of 35-33--68 yesterday; Lloyd Mangrum, national open champion, who is belated entry; George Fazio, leading money winner of the short 1947 season and co-winner of first! place at the Crosby tournament; and Toney Penna, defending Rich-! mond champion, who takes a particular liking to this course. Among the other top perform- ers are Jim Ferrier, former Australian champion now playing out of Chicago; Vic Ghezzi, former PGA champion; Denny Shute, greying stylist from Akron, Jimmy Demaret, colorful Houston, pro, who nearly always is among the top money-winners; and Bob Hamilton, PGA champion. The amateur contingent also is well represented with three members of the recently-named U.S. Walker cup team participating-Marvin "Bud" Ward, former national amateur champion; Frank Stranahan, the Toledo, muscleman; and Skee Riegel, Glendale, Calif.

16. UP)-Del Ennis, major league baseball's 1946 "rookie of the year," has turned down a $12,000 Philadelphia Phillies contract--a 120 per cent wage increase over last year--but the star outfielder insists he's not a holdout. The 21-year-old Ennis, though failing to come to terms with the Blue Jay management yesterday, did sign another contract. Cupid, in the person of Lenor Claar, 21, nabbed him as the pair obtained a marriage license at Philadelphia's city hall. WANTED!
