HOCKEY
Winger Gaye Stewart of the
Toronto Maple Leafs was
votéd the Rookie of the year in
the National Hockey League
by the annual poll of hockey
writers.
Gus Mancuso, a small but
versatile forward, proved to be
one of the bright rays in the
N.Y. Rangersl most dismal
season. He played in the minors
until he 'was 30, although he
came up for a brief fling with
Montreal. Mancuso became
very popular with the Madison
Square Garden habitues, espe-
cially Manhattan’s Italian foll-
owing.
FOOTBALL
Lt. Dixie Howell, Navy Offi-
cer, was recently decorated for
his heroic work on the Cruiser
“Boise” in the sea warfare
around the Solomons. Howell
will long be remembered for
his passes to Don Hutson in the
1935 Rose Bowl contest when
this amazing pair combined to
give Alabama a 29—13 victory
over Stanford. Dixie also was
an infielder in the Texas Lea-
gue for several seasons and ap-
peared briefly with the Detroit
Tigers.
BASKETBALL
Members of the Great Lakes
quintet recently picked an all-
opponent cage team which was
unusual in that Andy Philip,
the classiest of the Illinois
“Whiz Kids” was not on it.
Ken Menke of Illinois and
Charlie Black of Kahsas were
named forwards, Ed Beisse of
Creighton was center, and B„b
Rensberger of Notre Dame and
Ed Ehlers of Purdue wei’e sel-
ected as guards.
BASEBALL
“Little Stormy” Weatherly,
the tempermental lead-off man
of the Yankees, is down to 181
pounds, his midyear playing
weight, and may be due for a
banner season. When with
Cleveland he reported for
training more than once at well
over 200 which was partly re-
sponsible for his disappointing
performance the last few years.
Although he is not in the
Army, Oulfielder Oris Hockett
of the Cleveland Indians knows
now what the penalty is for
going A—W—O—L. He left
the club training camp last
week with a note for Mgr.
Boudreau, saying that he was
through with the game. In a
few days he changed his mind
and came back only to find
himself assigned to the bench
which he is scheduled to holtí
down during Wednesday’s op-
ening game. He was replaced
in left field by Jeff Heath who
just came out of the doghouse
himself, having acquired dis-
favor by wrangling over salary
terms. If the other gardeners
hop off to a good start Hockett
may find it difficult to break
into the lineup, even though he
is recognized as a real hustler
and a smart lead-off man, and
played 150 games in ’42.
Lovely Lucille Ball, Hollywood
actress, models a new stvle
bathing suit designed to keep
in step with the conservation
of materials in wartime. It is
backless, sleeveless, strapless
and more or less less.
