Northwestern, and llraee Cancelled Grid Game May Be Forerunner Martin Says It May 1 Lead To Curtailment Of Outdoor Sports BY WHITNEY, MARTIN Wide World Sports Columnist NEW YORK, Aug. 28 Well, sports fans,, it looks like youll finally get acquainted with the folks next door after all. You know, those people who lived be yond "their income and you just know she dyes her hair and does n't she have horrible taste in hats? Yes sir, when government of' ficials won't promise thai the ar my-navy games will be played, "you know they aren't fooling in their contemplation of .the advis ability of continuing spectator sports. They won't say yes and they won't say no, which in itself is ominous. They wouldn't say yes and they wouldn't say no about Joe Louis fighting again, but youll notice he ain't fit to speak with a Harvard accent. Anyway, if the army-navy game is called off because of the transportation probem, youll have a hint as to what will hap pen to the other spectator sports that draw fans from any dis tance at all. The government doesn't want any unessential au tomobile drivinr or travel by air, and it would take a lot of bicycles built for two to get even a quorum of fans to an event that isn't being held in the immediate sector. Such an eventuality wouldn't affect winter sports too much, par' ticularly in the north where zero isn't just a Jap fighter' plane, but is fireside weather. Basketball is the main winter sport, and it is purely a local pro position drawing most of its fans from walking or trolley distance. Even with plenty of gas, and tires still able to cut a stencil in the snow, you wouldn't find many cage addicts traveling very far of a winter's night to watch a game. Baseball May Be Okeh It is the outdoor games that would feel the pinch football, baseball and rolf. Major leasne baseball should do all right as most of the parks can be reached by local public transportation facilities. It would hurt some clubs, particularly St Louis and Cincinnati where ordinarily the bis crowds have a bit; sprinkling of; fans from out yonder. But they should be able to get by on the loyalty of the fans within the city limits. Football faces the big problem if travel is drastically curtailed. The stadiums at many big schools are distant from population cen ters, and the Saturday crowds are made up of fanatics from hundreds of miles around. Many schools al ready have foreseen that difficulty and have switched games to large cities nearby. But any -way you look , at it the prospect is none too bright for viewing sports events outside your congressional district and, with nothing better to do, the fans will start looKing around tneir own neighborhood for diversion. They might be surprised, at that to discover they can find it Theyll learn how their neighbors live, what they really look like and how often papa gets snooted up at the corner tavern and comes rolling home at 3 a. m. Such in formation may be old stuff to the wives, but it will be quite a rever lation to the head of the family, theoretically speaking, to get the information first hand. Seriously, the hesitant attitude of the government about con firming or denying the report the army-navy game may be cancelled may be the handwrit ing on the wait' If that game is r V - who went down beneath a 21-0 FridiT nirht before over lCO.CGO Q ' P -j" H t f V n mi X fflTynTtTyX bo ueoue stars wma. cl4m MctH-mi.r fe4Efc-Z tSbSxtJT S.l Alt STARS Al W WWVWHW I f h "" " " k C-T 7s TV tUSM VrtTHTHS MT UVrtiAWOfti fftl .

Maddern, Richards Vie For W1L Batting Title The Western International league batting chase has developed into a battle between Vancouver's Clarence Maddern and Sa lem's Jack Richards for the top run, according to figures released by-the Howe News bureau, league statisticians, and which include games through Tuesday, August 25. Maddern is out in front with a .348 mark, just 15 points in front of Richards with .333. The outstanding feature of the chase the past weeks has been the sudden rise of Salem's Sam Taormina from the depths to the number three spot with a .326 mark. The California State league champion is nine points up on Vic Buccola. Buccola batted his way to a tie with Vancouver's Bill Wright for the lead in runs batted in, each now- having 85. Buccola swiped six more bases during the week and now boasts a. total of 49. ' 1 Don Osborn raised his pitching record to 21 wins against four losses to put himself far ahead in that department although team mate Glenn Elliott has an even .1000 percentage with five wins and no losses. U of Portland Says Freshmen Gridders Okeh PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 29 -JP) The -University of Portland Sat urday night abolished its rule barring freshman students from varsity athletic competition. ; The Rev. Clement Kane, CSC, chairman of the athletic board, said the change would affect only football as freshmen have been allowed to participate in other varsity sports. The lifting of the ban was for the duration of the Football Coach Matty Math ewes said the schedule revisions, necessitated by cancellation of night games because of dim-out regulations, had not yet been completed. Definitely scheduled are the University of Idaho at Boise November 21, Willamette university at Portland Novem ber 7 and Western Washington college at Bellingham October 10.

SUte it Uberty - Ph. 2118 Adair MPs Discover Cote? Beans CAMP ADAIR, Oregon, Aug. 29 The military police of the 1911 service command af Camp Adair, Ore., like army beans they can't set enough beans their favorite fruit is beans. Naturally when a nearby farmer needed help on his bean patch farm labor being scarce these days the MP's vol unteered as one. Over 125 of the more eager MP's left Camp Adair Wednes day evening in six trucks and ar rived shortly at their patch some four miles east of Adair. With a shout they piled to, when they saw that practically all of ' the plant-supporting wires had fallen down. Those beans must be saved whatever the cost And under the able leadership of Sgt Ryan and Sgt Paxton, the wires went up like magic" It .was a real experience for many of the hardy bean lovers-for most hap pened to come from . New York City and their previous experi ence with beans .had . been con fined to chomping on same. One New Yorker swears he saw his first cow on the bean expedition but no record is available as to what his reaction was. Sgt. Ryan, the MP reporter, was too busy saving those beans, to remember himself. V Pvt. Mottelson achieved a mild sort of fame by eating just about as many raw beans as he saved for a later, more civilized con sumption. Sgt. Ryan says Mottel son's. pockets were bulging on the return to camp, too. After about an hour and a half of hard work, it smarted to rain, and hard, too (although no one remembers a drop falling at Adair) and the gallant MP's were forced to beat a retreat back to camp. But the beans had been saved army chow will not be caught short and 1st Lt. Julius Hale's study men have yet anoth er reason to congratulate them selves. It is not recorded whether the farmer had a daughter, in ad dition to a bean patch.
