Marty Marion Molding New Gashouse Gang jSt. Petersburg, Fla., March 30 ~r(UP)-!—Marty "Marion jnay have another Gashouse gang in' the making. 1 \ J ■ In his freshman year as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, the ghngling, frank-spoken Marion has his men playing, the same hell forgather ball which scourged the National league in the days' of the Pean brothers, Pepper and Ripper This club which Marion will guide into the 1951 National league ■pennant chase has no players of quite such stature with the exception of Stan Musial, one of the greatest -all-around players in the game. \ :• ' He is, as Marion observed, "al most a third of a hall club himself.” [ .Marion realizes his club is short on talent, but hopes it can make up ; for that with spirit and hustle ' In those two departments* the 1951 Cardinals promise tb be outstanding. The players are going all out for their new skipper and there is an entirely different attitude in camp. They have no pennant illusions, but they’’! be tough. “Idealize we don’t belong up in there with the Dodgers. Phillies, or (Hants,’’ Marion > said ■ today. “But We’ll take a lot of beating.” | His biggest worry is about his Own condition. 1‘ One day his bad knee feels fine: the next day he barely is' able to move around. ' “If I can’t play, rookie Dick Cole-will play short. Hut without bragging. I’ll say he couldn’t beat tnC'jbut if my knee is okay.” £ He is set at only three -positions, outside of pitching. They are Red Schoendlenst “ at second base Musial in center field and old /pro, -Enos Slaughtefr, in right.

V 1 '■ College Sports Cz<ir Proposal Draws Fire New York,. March 30 —(UP) — Forrest (Phpgl Allen’s proposal of a SIOO,OOb-a-year super-czar for college sports drew a chorus of criticism today from the commissioners pf the leading conferences. ; Commenting individually from every section of the country, the Commissioners seemed to agree on one thing—that the “czar” setup just wouldn’t work. • Allen, basketball coach at the University of Kansas, had suggested here that rule of all college sports by a single man, with powers $o sweeping that he’could even ’fire Coaches, was the only way to prevent future “scandals” like that tiow ripping New York City basketball and to stamp out recruiting evils. But the commissioners disagreed. They figured the \ clqsest watch i could be kept by the present system of local rule. Typical was the reaction of WaiIgce Wade, newly-appointed qom--1 missioner of the southern conference, who said, “the southern corv ference feels that athletics can best be controlled by regional conferences. That’s the/ position we took last year at the N.C.A.a\ meeting and it still stands.” Commissioner Art Eilers of the Missouri Valley conference also said, that he was “definitely” against the all-powerful czar'idea, and had been since it was first , brought up. Paul BFommers of the University of lowa, chairman of the Big' Ten faculty .representatives, objected - that a czar “would have to have a large organization to be effective.” E. L. Romney, commissioner of the Skyline conference, rejected Alien’s proposal and suggested instead a central committee and more power for conference commissionbra, where such power was needed. Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt' 1 1 oA the Pacific Coast conference atI tabked Alien’s suggestion as “an ’ idea . . . foreign to the American 1 tradition.” 1 would subordinate institutional responsibility, which is the ' first essentia! to any sound or > healthy solution of the pressures on 1 intercollegiate athletic s,” said • Schmidt. } If you have something to sell or , 'oomi for 'rent try a Democrat > Wgnt Adv.
