Name Board of
Directors to
Operate Club Until Franchise Can Be Resold by the League
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18 (U. P.).—The National league purchased
the controlling stock of the Philadelphia Phils baseball club today and
hamed a board of directors to operate the club until the league can com- . plete plans for resale of the franchise.

Plan to Place Athletics on Informal Basis
PRINCETON, N. J, Feb. 18 (U. 2) .—The big three of intercollegiate athletics—Princeton, Yale and Harvard—today planned drastic changes to put their athletic programs on a “restricted and informal basis.” Presidents of the three universities, Dr. Harold W.” Dodds of Princeton, Dr. James B. Conant of Harvard and Dr. Gharles Seymour of Yale, announced the new policy in a joint statement last night. They declared that “the continued maintenance of athletics as usual no Jonger is feasible,” but did not in--@icate what the new policy would entail. The action followed a recent army ruling forbidding participation in intercollegiate sports by students in the college specialists training program.
Conditions Altered
“Normal conditions which intercollegiate athletics are carried on at Yale, Harvard and Princeton have _been profoundly altered by needs of the present war effort,” the statement said. “Among. the changed conditions are the reduction in the number of students, the adoption of accelerated and intensified academic calendars, the extensive use of college facilities by the army and navy for training of new men in uniform and the difficulties of transportation.” It added: “We have therefore recognized the necessity of drastic modification in our schedules of intercollegiate sports,. We hope to continue some such sports upon a restricted and informal basis but realize the extent to which this can be accomplished must depend on the plans of the armed forces and the office of defense transportation as well as upon the revised calendar and enrollment in each institution concerned.”

Seek to 0. K. Race Changes
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 18 (U. P.). —A bill introduced in the state legislature yesterday would authorize the transfer of horse race meetings from one course to another in case of emergencies.
The bill was offered by Delegate Anthony F. Didomenico of Balti-
‘more, as Chairman Frank Small Jr.
of the racing commission, in testimony before a senate sub-commit-tee, suggested that for the duration of the war racing be consolidated at one or two tracks in the state. Recently the .commission recommended a spring season of 15 days, all at Pimlico and all conducted by the Maryland Jocket (club. Previously Small had told the subcommittee that the commission hoped to permit another 15-day meeting at Pimlico in the fall and a 25 or 30-day meeting at Laurel. Goss L.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Sergt. Jackie Wilson came east from Cali-

taller at 5-feet-11%. They'll weigh within a fraction of 145 pounds. Robinson will be spurred by losing his first fight in 130—to Jake La Motta in Detroit. He had previously repulsed the Bronx middleweight, whom he spotted 16 pounds. La Motta floored the wasp-waisted Robinson in taking a debatable decision, which is something he could not do in winning a decision from Sergt. Wilson in the non-commis-sioned officer’s Garden bow, Jan. 15. Sergt. Wilson was unimpressive, but he took the match on short notice, and appeared to need the fight.

California Jackie was an amateur champion, and dropped a decision to Ulderico Sergo of Italy in the Olympic games feather final in Berlin in 1936 that was so bad there is an explanation of it in the records. He smacked Sergo around in a return engagement in New York. Sergt. Wilson has lost only four fights in 54 as a professional, and reversed all but the one with Jake La Motta. Sergt. Wilson still has to sell himself to Broadway, however, and he isn’t going to get any help from Sugar Robinson, as swift and classy a welter as you could hope to see.

Order of Day For Detroit
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff Correspondent DETROIT, Feb. 18. — Manager Steve O'Neill of the Detroit Tigers, who doesn’t want his ball players cracking up this spring like china dishes in an earthquake, said today he had instructed them to come to their Evansville, Ind. trai camp next month nicely padded in long-handled undies.
than in the past few years in Florida, but we will suffer no hardship if we will tak proper precautions,” he said. Fearful lest some of his charges from the warm South will come to Indiana’ without buttoning up their overcoats, he wrote every player telling him not only how to dress in camp, but what to wear on the way. It appears that the welldressed Tiger will come to Evans-
to have denuded a flock of sheep. The Tigers report March 15. Although most managers have sore arms and Charley horses as their chief concern during the conditioning period, O’Neill is concentrating on trying to avoid head and chest colds. A “must” in O’Neill’s conditioning routine will be long-sleeved heavy woolen undershirts which he prescribes not only for the entire spring training period but for the first month of the regular season. Whenever a player begins to perspire, he must go to the dressing room and put on g dry undershirt, no matter if it takes half a dozen a day. Prescribes Wool Socks O'Neill, apparently assuming his athletes are well supplied with shoes despite government rationing restrictions, says they had better bring along an extra pair, stretched a size
“Woolen socks must be worn over sweat socks and so a pair of shoes that have been stretched are necessary,” he said. “Some of the largest pores in your skin are on the bottom of your feet and if you fail to provide something to absorb the moisture or allow them to get chilled you will be sniffing within an hour.” Doc O'Neill also warned that the hatless fad among athletes would be taboo at least until summer arrives. He asked the players to wear hats or caps after changing to street clothes. The Tiger manager, admitting that training arrangements were far from ideal, saia “we are going to make the best of our opportunities under unusual conditions— and do it without griping.” “This applies to all players, clubs or officials in baseball,” he said “We are going to have to carry on as best we can and be glad we have the chance.”

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 (U.P.).— Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker called upon labor leaders today to “become leaders in fact as well as in name” by asking congress to repeal, “for the duration only,” the weekly hours provision of the wage and hour law. He advocated, however, strict continuance of present hourly rates as the basis for wages. Speaking at a luncheon of the Commerce and Industry association of New York, the former flying ace said: “Experience has proven that manufacturers in many industries who are now operating on the ‘incentive’ plan are showing a conservative increase in production per manpower hour of at least 33% per cent over those operating under the wage and hour law. “This would give us an increase of 5,500,000 extra workers among the 16,500,000 now employed in manufacturing on a 48-hour week without overtime, “This increase in productive manpower hours would not only take care of the estimated 2,100,000 em-

REPORTED OUT Amended Measure Provides For Bi-Partisan Control.
headed today for bi-partisan control under the amended defense appropriation bill recommended for passage by the house ways and means committee. As reported out of the committee yesterday the bill would add eight members to the present five-member
.| administrative defense council, most
of them Republicans, ending the present four-to-one Democratic control of the council. The ways and means committee also upped the ante for straight civilian defense operations during the next two years by $15,000, recommending. an appropriation of $310,000 as compared with the $295,000 originally recommended by the budget committee. The extra $15,000 was earmarked for the civil air patrol which had asked the committee for funds to buy a CAP staff plane and pay for its maintenance. $200,000 Request Denied A request for $200,000 to be used only in case of emergency was denied by ways and means on the ground that if large emergency appropriations were needed quickly they could be appropriated at the time out of the governor's contin-
gency funds.
As now set up, the administrative defense council is composed of four Democrats and one Republican. Members are the civilian defense director,
