Pittsburgh Coach
Not Named Yet
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 11—(W)--
The University of Pittsburgh's
athletic committee deferred dis
cussion of naming a new head
football coach today until dedi
cation of the se.o"l's $1,300,000
field house Saturday.
By DAVE COLTON
Ithaca, will definitely be out of
th e starting five, Coach Elmer
Gross announced yesterday.
Williams has been ill, and has
not practiced since Thursday.
Doctors have advised Gross not
to play the smooth ball-handler
and Gross will not use Williams
unless he has to.
Weidenhammer to Start
The other doubtful starter is
Chet 'Whitey' Makarewicz, six
five junior forward. Makarewicz
got hives after taking penicillin
for an infected tooth. He has
missed several practice sessions
and will not start unt?.ss his phy
sical condition improves.
Ronny Weidenhammer, 'fresh
man guard from Kutztown, will
replace Williams in the starting
lineup. Jack Sherry, second sem
ester freshman, will start if Ma
karewicz is unable to play.
The rest of the starting lineup
will be the same as in the Ithaca
opener last week. Joe Piorkowski,
six-three junior, will handle one
of the guard posts with Weiden- '
hammer. Co-Captain Jay "Tiny"
1
McMahan, six-seven senior, will
be at center, and Herm Sledzik,
a six-four junior will start at
one of the forward positions.
Bucknell Seeks 3rd
Gross said Ed Haag, a six-two
sophomore, would be Weiden
hammer's understudy at guard.
Jim Blocker and Jim Hill, both
freshmen, will be ready to sub
for Sherry. Jesse Arnelle, six
five freshman, will be the num
ber one replacement for Sledzik
or McMahan.
Bucknell will be trying for its
,third straight victory. Coach Jack
Guy's cagers have beaten Juniata
and Western Maryland. Gross
scouted the Western Maryland-
Bison game and reports that the
Lewisburg quintet has more
height than last season and still
uses its successful fast-break.
was'
the
guard Bill Strella was'
the Bisons' out-standing player
in the Western Maryland game
and scored 25 points. Captain
Connie DeLoca, a six-three sen
ior, scored 22 points against
Western Maryland and is their top
rebounder.
Tall Sophomore
Jack Webber, a five-nine ball
handler, will share the guard du
ties with Strella. Joe Gallagher,
leading scorer on the team last
season, will team with DeLoca
at forward. Gallagher averaged
19 points a game last year, and
is just getting his shooting eye.
He missed a lot of practice be
cause of football.
Jim Poff, a six-five sophomore,
will probably start at center.
Don Strassner, last year's regu
lar, has been bothered by a bad
knee but will probably see plenty
of action tonight. Marty McKib
bin, a six-two letterman forward,
is the top reserve.
Eddie Stanky Signs
To Manage Cardinals
ST. LOUIS, Dec. I.l—(W)
Eddie Stanky, fiery New York
Giant second baseman, signed
a two-year contract as manager
with the St. Louis Cardinals
today. . •
Stanky came with an agree
ment with Cardinal owner Fred
Saigh after a Conference here
which lasted nearly three
hours. No salary figures were
mentioned but it was under
stood that Stanky would get
around $37,000 a year.
Saigh said Stanky had been
signed as a playing manager.
Stanky sidestepped the ques
tion of what he would do about
Red Schoendienst, one of the
top second basemen in the busi
ness, by saying they would get
around to that when spring
training comes.
