Sinkin' 'em By BOB SINK The first change in coaches to be reported this spring comes from Cerro Gordo, where Cliff J. Clapp has been named to succeed Z. H.

Dorland. The new Cerro Gordo coach has been employed at Monticello as biology instructor for the last two years, but has had previous coaching experience, at CLAPP Greenup and CLAPP Mantena. Clapp is a graduate, of Illinois Wesleyan, where a member of T. K. E.

fraternity. Z. H. Dorland, retiring coach, resigned his position when he was appointed superintendent of schools in Payson, near Quincy. Dorland had a good record at Cerro Gordo, winning the Cenois ence basketball cha pionship last season and developed a number of good athletes.

His new position is a distinct advancement. The Arthur post is still vacant. according to reports, Arthur Adams, present coach, having accepted a position as superintendent in Martinsville. Niantic, another Cenois school, also is to have a new coach. F.

A. Beu, coach at Charleston T. C. High, and one of the best known men in the profession in this part of the state, will not be back at his old post next year. Mr.

Beu plans to attend either Northwestern or Chicago university to do graduate work for his Ph. D. degree. He will be at Charleston during the summer, however. Both Charleston coaches will be engaged in continuing their studies.

but Gilbert Carson at Charleston High will be back on the job next fall. Carson plans to attend summer school at the University of Iowa. and is working for his master's degree in physical education. Harry Carlock of Hammond and Paul Beck of Oblong are two more coaches who may attend the Olympic games this summer. Beck also plans to attend the Notre Dame coaching school.

Both will be back on the job next fall. Warrensburg, of course; has Meyer Serkes name on the dotted line for another season. Serkes brought Warrensburg its first district basketball championship in history last winter. Jim Spiller will be back as basketball coach after summer on his masters' Pana, degree at the University of Illinois. Ivan Johnson at Nokomis, Carl Bergeson at Casey and Vernon Evans at Macon are others who will return to their former posts next fall.

Johnny Phagan, Golden Gloves welterweight champion, and Centrai A. U. champion will meet Freddy Tyus in the main event of the first amateur boxing show to be staged in the new armory, June 1. Phagan, another colored boy, is rated just about the best welter in the country. Phagan has beaten Tyus twice.

The faculty women failed to appear for their scheduled event. which turned out to be that of tossing tennis balls at the head of a colored youngster, who for a minimum of remuneration, gladly offered himself as a human target. However, when the shuttle relay for girls was abandoned for lack of entries, the lone team on the field was corralled for the eveht and each of the girls was given a try at, the smiling youngster's head. we remember correctly. there was but one "hit" and it merely grazed "Bosco's" ear.
