SAN FRANCISCO, . March
football for 1942 may be a' doubtful quantity due to the army's
5000-crowh limitation but the US
a football schedule with conference university1 teams;
Lieut.1 Frank .Wickhbrst,
at the navy s air cadet training
ftation at St Mary's, has asked
both Stanford and the University
of California to give the naval
cadet gridiron squad a place on
their schedules. .
Re-arrangement of . the entire
1912 schedule for the conference
may have to come at the Port
land meeting ' of the conference
heads next .week to provide for
the games with the navy and also
to make provision for the Univer
sity of California's new academic
three-semester plan. r' T .... ' -
"We will attempt to localize
our schedule to fit war condi
tions,, Al Masters, graduate
manager at Stanford, said. In
comment upon the request
from Wickhorst. "This may ne
cessitate dropping .'one' of the
games on oar nine same ached-'
ule. It probably will be a con
ference opponent and not Santa
Clara or Notre dame. We would .
like . to accommodate the St.
Mary's training team. . 1 '
. "It is likely that ' the entire
football schedule of the confer
ence will be arranged at Portland
next week to accommodate
changes caused by California's
adoption of a new full year se
mester schedule."
At Berkeley, Ken Priestly,
graduate manager of the Uni
versity of California, said, "We
are scheduled to play Oregon
State in Portland on Saturday,
October 3, and that is the last
day of examinations for the
summer semester. We will have
to make some kind of readjust
ment on that game.
"Our attitude toward service
teams was indicated last year
when the UC Ramblers played
four games."

LOS ANGELES, March 19-P)
Baseball sources disclosed Thurs
day that President C. Tuttle
of ' the Pacific Coast league "had
provided army ' authorities .with
complete data on operations of the
circuit and' average , attendance
figures.
Tuttle could not 'be located for
comment, but it was said that the
information was filed with Lieut
Gen. John L. DeWitt ' at his San
Francisco headquarters." " '
Definite approval of night
baseball was undoubtedly
sought In Tattle's communica
tion, to General De Witt It was
pointed out that attendance in
the league seldom exceeds the
5000-erowd limit originally
placed by . the army on gather
ints on the west coast
Whether Tuttle presented the
data at the request of-club own
ers or the army was not known.
The league is scheduled to open
April 2,
There was nothing to indicate
that the season would not open,
said an authoritative source, who
asked that he remain unidenti
fied.

go ahead.

wants to train, but when the sea
