Frank J. Sliiiiii'.hncssy, president
of the International Icaiiuo, Iii
Jicvff: thiil the n)pro;ii-hinn cam
piiUi'i i" 'be minimi will I if the
miLst important since I'earl llar
lnr because it should disclose
dl;8'U'ly whether players re
UiininK from service can, hope
to roriain their former prowess
nn the diamond.
It will he a tip-off campaign
particularly for players who have
hern in eomhal on land. or sea,
he said today. It should show
whether th'-ir hatrkhips, shocks
and alisence from the (jamo will
prevent recapturing tiieir previ
oits form.
"When the minors open this
time, I estimate that at least 25
per cent of Ihe players will lie
returned service men," he said,
"This perce nlai:e will increase
hrfore auliiiun. The perrenlnfie
of ex-service players is -blither
than one would expect, fur this
important iciimiii: the minor
leagues are using far fewer play
ers now Ihan thev il hi'fore
Pearl Harbor. Only IU minor
circuits are npciating now, in
stead of the '12 thiil existed in
11)41. Hecaose of wartime condi
tions, .'12 of them folded up none
recently, however.
"Most of Hie players returning
to the minors from service now
are men who have heen in the
armed forces lor some time-
men who have seen action.
Their prolilems are far different
from those of (he few players
. '4110 went into service and were
'tired nn camp arid base teams,
il&horc they managed to keep in
ifHir playing shape."
" ' Kveryone in the minors is pull
ing for the players who have re
turn! d from service- -hoping that
they'll he ahle to pick up where
they lefl off hoping that they'll
be ahle to improve and advance
to higher circuit, Shaughnessv
said. Hut, in general, thev slill
must he regarded as question
marks.

-from isolated cfises already
noted,"- he' continued, "it would
seem that men who have seen
long, active service in the infan
try and marines are finding H
particularly difficult to get hack
into playing shape. Player who
have heen shocked in combat,
someVitnes get jumpy when the
crowd yls or when there arc
other loud noises during a gome.
And players who for months
have been roughing it in the
jungles and mud, or making long
marches, packing heavy equip
ment, find il difficult to get mus
cles used to the fast action id
split-second timing required on
the diamond.
"lint we'll find out all annul
that this summer. This season
in the minors should tell the tale
should disclose definitely what
we can expect from Ihe built of
ex-service players. And whelh
er we must depend more and
more upon 'teeiuage kids for our
future talent."

Rules Revisions
In Basketball
Aid Tall Players
NEW YORK, March 28 (UP)
Tall players, the target of rousing
criticism, because of their ad
vantage in scoring plays, actu
ally benefited today in revisions
to collegiate basketball rules by
the legislative committee.
Although ease histories of some
of the most successful tall play
ers in the game were submitted,
the rules body emerged with
seven minor changes, and noth
ing was done to stop the offensive-
onslaught of the rangier
players.
Instead the committee passed
a rule which stated that points
will not be nullified if a player
touches the basket hoop or net
when a field goal obviously has
been made.
Proposed Curbs Dropped
The suggested legislation to
modify the height advantage was
tabled because the committee
could not agree on tin.1 best meth
od of combatting the big players.
The most important of the oth
er changes effected was the can
cellation of the 30-second rule,
which heretofore enable a team
to get by without a charged time
out when a player was substi
tuted. Under the revised rule,
only an injury to a player will
prevent a team with being charg
ed with a lime out if a substitu
tion is made. The rule was ef
fected to prevent coaches from
delaying games by sending in
substitutes with strategy informa
tion during close contests and
at the same time giving the play
ers on the floor a rest without
time out being charged.
Another change provides stan
dardization of signals by officials
for all parts of the nation to en
able players to know what action
is being taken by the referees.

power bill. Its failure to do so,
he said, would hamper 'success

The president .uild in a letter
to Chairman Elbert D. Thomas,

affairs committee, that the man
power situation "is still serious."
In an apparent allusion to v.litit

dent added:
"In the days ahead of us theie
will be great temptation lor
workers to leave war plants."
The bill, written bv house-senate
conferees, would apply stiff
penalties to both workers and
employers who violate its terms.
It would authorize the adminis
tration to freeze war workois in
their jobs and to impose man
power ceilings on employers.
Passage of the measure, Roose
velt said'," would place1 'responsib
ility for "effectively and fairly
handling the manpower situation
squarely with the executive
branch of the government."
