I Hornsby considered Kosher a “good luck” man and a smart student of baseball, although most of Ka-her’s experience had been confined to master-minding semi j pro teams around Everett, j For those reasons. Dave today has a full-time job with Hornsby who I has returned as a manager under “the big top.” Kosher packed his bags last week and took off for Burbank. Calif., where-Hornsby is working with several members of his team. And before he left. Dave said: “Mr. Hornsby took me to the World Series last year. I hope we can make the trip again this autumn— with the Browns as the American League representative.” ALL YEAR LONG Faseball is a year around pro position With Kosher. In the win ter he talks it constantly around his hometown. His father. Abe Kosher, is in the real estate and used car business es but, says Abe, "Baseball always has been the life ambition of Dave. He knew he could never lie a play er but that didn't discourage him: “In the off season he talks the hot-stove league with a passion. And of course this past year he had his eyes open for deals in volving material being traded to the Browns.” If Hornsby and the Browns make’ It tough on the other clubs some! of the credit of success will rub off on a fellow’ who has never thrown a baseball across the dia mond. rammed- a hot liner over in-. : field or slid heading into one of the bases.

(United Press Sports Writer) I NEW YORK (IP) At least 10 men were acceptable candidates • today for basketball Coach of the Year honors but the showdown choice appeared to be between Kentucky's ever-present Adolph Rupp and Duquesne’s Don Dudley Moore with the Pennsylvanian this corner's choice. A fine season’s record is, of course, important in earning a spot In contention. And of the job tl%y did with the material at hand you have to bow to such as Phog Allen of Kansas, Tippy Dye of Washing ton, Bucky O'Connor of lowa, Ed Melvin of St. Bonaventure, Ed Hickey of St. Louis, Jack Gardner of Kansas State, Bob Brown of West Virginia and Harry Combes of Illinois. d Rupp, who came up with his 14th straight Southeastern Conference champion and a record of 28-2, naturally is a strong candidate. But the plaudits here go to Moore who brought a team out of no where to win 21 against only one loss. Coach of the Year may be interpreted in several ways. It could go to the coach who had the best record or the mythical national champion. Or it could go to the fellow who brought his team the farthest in one season, starting from scratch and hitting near the top. Eeither way you look at it, Moore appears to have earned the plau dits. His.club lost one game and is top-seeded in the National Invita tion basketball tournament starting at Madison Square Garden on Sat urday night. And he started this season from about as close to scratch as any coach likes to get. Last season, Duquense won only 16 against 11 loses, not exactly breathtaking. But this year the club was welded around a fresh man. a sophomore and a senior and climbed into national promi nence. Nor are these three among the nation’s 10 best players. For instance, soph Jim Tucker, the team’s leading scorer with a 17.2 point average per game, obtained for Duquesne no better than a third team berth on the recent United Press All-America team voted by more than 200 sports-writers. Rupp, on the other hand, had an all-veteran team which wasn’t ex actly desperate for coaching. True, the bluegrass baron lost seven-foot Bill Spivey. But he had left such greats as Cliff Hagan, Frank Ram sey. Bobby Watson, Lou Tsioropoulos and Skippy Whitaker. Proof of their ability is that Hagan won a first team spot on the U. P. All-America—and just about everybody’s "all” quintet-while Ramsey made the second team. That would seem to fit the classi- S fication of being loaded with talent. Rupp obtained them, sure, and polished them. But it wasn’t a job which haft to be accomplished this year. And nobody is inferring that the man in the brown suit isn't terrific in turning out fine teams. His overall record of 470 victories against 81 losses in 22 years, plus three NCAA titles and one NIT crown, prove that. But for the coaching job of the 1051-52 season, Moore turned the trick. He took a mediocre team, kept the balance of seniors, gave free rein to the .sharpshooting Tucker and filled out the height with Dick Ricketts, a six foot, six inch freshman. It meshed for him because of a job well done. ing. Its his calmness under fire. With things tied up in the last minute of play. Groat usually is the calmest man in the gym. Chances are the fans will be sweating more than the Duke ace who, for my money, is as cool as the proverbial cucumber. He’s a real All-American in my book.” —by Zane Robbins, Sports Editor of The Daily Tar Heel (’sl), University of North Car t olina Newspaper. “Dick Groat is the best college bail-player I have ever seen.” I Jav Ilandland, star of Washington ! & Lee. ! “He’s the best. And he’d be even I better in my possession system with I his ball-handling and shooting.” : Coach Bud Millikan, University of Maryland. "I've never seen any player who could do as many things as well as Groat. The guy just kills you, that’s TOR DAILY RfSCORfe, OflMl. H. ft . all.” Coach Red Laird. Virginia .

That, - plus quick thinking and n good eye for the basket, makes him a truly great player. Coach Frank John ! son, University of South Carolina. “Groat is one of tjie greatest bos -1 ketball players I have seen this year (’sl).
