One hundred thirty thinly clads, representing nine schools, are hard at work in preparing for the local state track and field sectional derby to be held at Tech field tomorrow afternoon,

AR By Eddie Ash

COLLEGE sports leaders who insist that intercollegiate big-time football will go on as usual through the war undoubtedly received a shock from the Harvard decision to drop fall’s most popular game for the duration. Steeped in gridiron tradition and a one-time power, Harvard's announcement is bound to make others sit up and take notice. . . . There just weren't enough players at many colleges to carry on in baseball this spring and the same thing could happen to a lot of grid teams come fall. The “make ‘em tough physically sport” has a place in the war . effort but Harvard authorities probably made a deep study of the situation before reaching its decision to cancel its 1943 varsity grid schedule. This department hopes college football will remain in the picture this year if it's possible to field teams without interfering with the military training of the students. . . . That decision will be up to the individual colleges and the coaches. . . . In a recent survey of grid manpower on hand at the University of Towa, the report was discouraging. By fall travel may be much more difficult even than now and it ig entirely possible that, if long football trips remain on the college schedules, they may be canceled by ODT order.

Millers Receive Help From Washington

MINNEAPOLIS bolstered its mound staff by getting Pitcher Owen Scheetz on option from Washington. . . . He was the Millers’ ace relief hurler last season. . . . With the sixth-place Millers he won 15 and lost 18, allowing earned runs in the three-plus bracket. He was the third best workhorse in the American association, appearing in 251 innings against Teammate Mickey Haefner's 260 and the second place mark of 253 by Vedie Himsl of St. Paul. . . . Haefner now is with Washington and Himsl is pitching for Uncle Sam. = ” = 2 2 = LT. GEORGE EARNSHAW, former Philadelphia Athletics pitcher and one of Connie Mack's old mainstays, has been assigned to an aircraft carrier. . . . Last summer he directed the baseball team at the Jacksonville, Fla, naval air station.

Is There a Purse Snatcher in the Crowd?

TOM SWOPE, Cincinnati Post—Deacon Bill McKechnie, manager of the Reds, raises his right hand and swears this is the truth: “I saw a woman fan in our park scramble for a foul hit into a field box the other day, get it, reach into her purse, take out a very old ball, toss it to a sailor, put the new ball into the purse, then settle back in her seat with a satisfied smile all over her face. “Can you imagine,” the Deacon concluded, “any woman going to a ball park prepared to make that sort of a swap and then being able to get away with it? What some persons will do to get a ball in a big league park is beyond all understanding and comprehension.”

Indians Again Trim Colonels; Tie for Lead

Times Special LOUISVILLE, May 13—In road games to date, the Ind Tribesters have won three and lost one, a pretty fair record in anybody’s league. If a team can break even or better in foreign parks, it is supposed to go places by fattening its percentage at home. The 1943 Tribesters have split éven in four games at home and they will return to Indianapolis’ Victory field tomorrow to meet the Kansas City Blues in a ladies’ night game at 8:30. The Redskins are tc tackle the Louisville Colonels in the series finale here tonight, and they are two-up on the Kentuckians. They won last night's game, 5 to 4, the same score as Tuesday's tilt.

Outbatted in Victory

The Bushmen were outbatted last night, 12 to 9, but had fewer runners left on base. Louisville hai 12 to 8 for Indianapolis. Lefty Bob Logan received credit for the triumph, but he wasn't around at the finish. He was derricked in the ninth and Walter Tauscher relieved him. Tauscher also was lifted and Elon (Chief) Hogsett took up the toil and halted 8 Colonel uprising. In the two-hit bracket for the Indians were Blackburn, one a double; English, one a double, and Moore. Stewart Hofferth's one blow was good for two sacks. The victory lifted the Indians into a three-way tie with Columbus and Kansas City for the American association lead. Columbus lost to Toledo in a 12-to-2 game in which Al Zarilla,, Mud Hen rookie outfielder, belted a home run with the bases loaded in the frst inning. The game was played at Toledo.

Millers Drop to Fourth

St. Paul edged Minneapolis and dropped the Millers to wurth place, and Milwaukee at Kansas City were weathered out. In last night's game at Louisville’s Parkway field, the Colonels got to Lefty Logan for two markers in the second stanza. The Indians tied it up in the fourth and forged to the front, 3 to 2, in the sixth. A single by Moore and English’s double increased the Tribe's advantage to 4 to 2 in the seventh. The Colonels refused to surrender and cut the Redskins’ lead to 4 to 3 in the eighth. Excitement in Ninth Hits by Blackburn, Moore and Morgan accounted for a fifth Tribe run in the ninth and it was needed. In Louisville's half of the final stanza, Culbertson and Millies led off with singles and Tauscher relieved Logan. The next hitter saerificed and Browne's long fly scored Culbertson. Fred Vaughn dropped an assist by Fairly and the miscue loaded the sacks. Sperry, a left-handed hitter, was sent up to bat for Corriggio, and Hogsett, the veteran southpaw, relieved Tauscher. Lamitina, a right-handed swinger, replaced Sperry at bat and a forceout ended the close match.

cial Washington reaction to Herbert

U. S. Senator James Mead of Buffalo,

night's dinner of the National Association of State Racing Commis-

Addressing the commissioners, Swope said, “I do not know who is going to get the job. Several men are being discussed.” Later he told the United Press that Senator Mead seemed the leading candidate. Mead is an important stockholder in the Buffalo club of the International Baseball league. Swope emphasized that “certain administrators” in Washington heartily favor the appointment of a co-ordinator to obtain the utmost co-operation of professional sports in the war effort without interfering with the rationing of rubber and gasoline and other transportation difficulties.

Do ‘Lot of Good’

Swope said a co-ordinator in Washington would do sports “a lot of good” because he could forestall mistakes and achieve a unity of action among sports leaders that in some instances has been lacking since Pear! Harbor. “A clearing house is needed in Washington,” he continued. “The way it is now, a man doing a good job in San Francisco, for example, may not even be heard of ih Coney Island. Many sports have not taken their problems to Washington, thus far, and have suffered as a result.” Asked how much authority the co-ordinator would have, Swope said “the power of any man is gov erned by his ability.” “Actually, I doubt if the appointment will be clothed with much official authority,” he added, “but it will have much moral authority in obtaining sports co-ordination with the war effort. One of his first jobs would be to learn what is the national attitude toward profes= sional sports and to arrange the sports program to conform with war regulations.” Concerning the conduct of racing, Swope said that William Jeffers, national rubber administrator, and Joseph Eastman, administrator of the office of defense transportation, have approved the extent of cooperation given war measures by New York tracks. At the meeting before last night's association dinner, Maj. Tom H.

Night games would take care of day shift workers while those working a late night trick could attend at the usual hour.
