WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1951 Political Foes Boom Lausche As Commissioner WASHINGTON, Feb. 13,—(fP)-- The Washington Evening Star said today that Ohio Governor Frank Lausche is witnessing the peculiar spectacle of having his political foes back him for the baseball commissionership. Sports writer Burton Hawkins said election of Lausche to the post next month in Florida to re place A. B. (Happy) Chandler would go a long way toward solving a political problem for the Ohio G.O.P. Hawkins dealt with the con nection between national politics and baseball in Lausche's case in these words: "Into the complicated situation comes such names as Donald M. Hornbeck, one-seventh owner of the (Cleveland) Indians, promin ent in Republican affairs, and a close friend of John W. Galbreath of Columbus. President of the (Pittsburgh) Pirates. "When Galbreath purchased the Pittsburgh club the deal was handled, in large part, by Sena tor Bricker's Columbus law firm. Galbreath and Bricker are close personal friends—they went to Ohio State together. "Enter the law firm of Ray Mil ler and the aforementioned Horn beck. Miller, former Mayor of Cleveland, is the Democratic boss of Cuyahoga county. "Miller is an avowed political enemy of Gov. Lausche. So two of the most potent political voices in Ohio—Miller's and Bricker's— are raised in supporting Lausche for the baseball post. They hope to accomplish the same objective —remove Lausche from Ohio's political arena."

Members of the squad are equally distributed about the bus. Over there Hardy Williams, wearing a chocolate-brown sports coat, alternately drifts into a coma-like sleep or intently studies some deep-appearing poly-sci volume. You study the kid. A brilliant student with a personality that has made him one of Penn State's most 'liked athletes. Yet, despite his qualifications, when we come into Washington he will be forced to split up from the rest of the team because of our national capitol's Jim Crow hotel rule. And you burn, inwardly. Toward the back of the bus Captain Lou Lamie and hard-working guard, Junie "The Grimace" Moore, could be discussing the merits of their respective Saturday night dates. As the "Jolter" Joe DiMaggio is to the Yankees, so is Lamie to Penn State's varsity five. When Lou starts to click the entire club catches fire endangering even those in the stands. When on tour he is the club's speaker and he's never at a loss for words. Quite a contrast appears between the spirited, fun-loving Ted Panoplos (the comment is made . . . "who sleeps when Panoplos is awake?) and his shy, dark-complexioned seat buddy, Jay "Tiny" McMahan, 6-foot-6 center who somehow manages to crowd his bulk into as comfortable position as possible.

State's Ken Bouldin is shown analyzing the play in the foreground. Vic Raschi, top percentage pitcher of the American League last year, yesterday signed his 1951 contract for a "satisfactory raise." Salary figures were not discussed by Raschi or the New York club, but newsmen guessed that the strong righthander, who woat 21 and ,lost only eight last season, received a pay hike from $25,000 to $30,000.

S. Star ' When the Bucknell basketball team invaded Rec hall last week, it came with blood in its eye intending to avenge at any cost the "fraud" executed upon it by the Lion cagers three weeks before. One of the prime reasons why it failed in its quest was the great performance turned in by a hardworking State guard, Hardy Wil liams. He not only led the Blue and White quintet with 18 points but played a stellar floor game. Williams is a native of Phil adelphia and at present a junior in pre-law. He is 20 years old, weighs 170 pounds and is 5' 11" tall. He -attended West Philadel phia high school where he was a three letter athlete. An end in football, he was named on the All-Public second team. He also gained honorable mention on the All-Public basketball team. In addition, he played shortstop in baseball. But the cr o achievement of Hardy's h i h school career came when he was chosen as the outstanding ath lete of his class in his senior year_ Hardy graduated in 1948 and the next fall enrolled in Penn State, going to Cheney State Teachers college for his initial year. He then came to State and in his first year proceeded to capture a berth on the basketball team.
