Siebert Proposes Major Sponsor for Southern Minnesota League
University of Minnesota coach Dick Siebert suggests a summer league sponsored by Major League teams for college players. Eight cities including Austin would form a loop with Big 10 teams, providing housing and limited travel, allowing players to earn wages and refine schooling during vacation. He cites Austin Rochester Albert Lea Mankato Owatonna Waseca Winona Faribault as ideal sites. Ed Stalker credits Jerome Gordon for Glenville sports gains. At Kenyon, a new baseball coach is sought. Claire Smithback leaves Minnesota for Camarillo Cal after seven years.
