COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 5— for Indianapolis manager boil George M. Trautman, presi: Del gant of the minor leagues,

warned today that the minor|

league structure is

steadily

shrinking and called on the majors to give the relief needed for

survival.

“Attendance still -is declining,” he pointed out in his annual re-

port,

“It dropped from 43,700,000 lin 1949 to 27,500,000 in 1951.”

He laid the blame on the broad-|

he added.

“It is difficult for me to understand how any major league club could conceive it to be in its ultimate interest to engage .in yirtu-

“Certainly it would be wiser for: each major league club to pursue

Ww COACH, SAYS TO PUL. OLD

“1, ONE OH ONE

Cuts Field to 8 Topnotchers

By LAWRENCE ROBINSON As voting proceeds in the 1951 Coach-of-the-Year poll, it is apparent final selection rests among eight leading candidates. It is an extremely tight race, -possibly the closest in the 17year history of this unique award, The winner may not be determined until the final vote is recorded Wednesday night, the deadline for America's coaches to make their selection in the World-Telegram and Sun and Scripps-Howard Newspapers poll. The winner will be announced Friday.

= » » AT THIS stage of the balloting there is little'doubt that the 1951 Coach - of - the - Year will come from among the following eight coaches, listed alphabet] ically and not in order of their constantly changing status: Charlie Caldwell, Princeton; Bobby Dodd, Georgia Tech; Ray Eliot, Illinois; Clarence

(Biggie) Munn, Michigan State; Gen. Robert Neyland, Tennes- -

see; Georgé Sauer, Baylor; Jim Tatum, Maryland, and Chuck Taylor, Stanford. The qualifications of each are manifold. Some kept a winning string going, in itself no easy task; others brought 1950 losers into high prominence, and so

on. Let's take a quick rundown of these coaches and their | teams:
