Reforms in Sports
By HAL WILLARD
(United Preea Sport Writer)
Lansing, Mich. U.R Dr. John
A. Hannah first became associ
ated with Michigan State col
lege in 1033 as an extension
specialist In poultry, when the
institution was so small It was
virtually unknown outside its
home state.
Now, after 11 years as Its
president, Hannah has made it
a major educational institution,
kjiown around the world for its
academic standing as well as for
its athletic abilities.
Hannah, a pleasant speaker
with a tremendous capacity for
thought and work, applied his
energy to building a top rank
ing educational plant both aca
demically and athletically.
When he had succeeded,
and h id won membership In
the Big Ten for Michigan
State, he turned his attention
to the reform of Intercollegi
ate sports.
Hannah served as chairman
of the American Council on Ed
ucation's committee of eleven
which recommended drastic
changes In basic policies to keep
Intercollegiate athletics under
control.
Most basic, Hannah said, was
the belief of the presidents that
intercollegiate sports must be
controlled by the presidents of
the Institutions.
"We on the committee have
been accused of attempting to
de-emphasize intercollegiate
ports," he said. "That Is
not true. We merely want
athletics in its proper place.
"A college student's primary
purpose should be to achieve an
education. Athletics should not

Hannah has great Interest in
athletics. He rarely misses an
athletic event on the Spartan
campus.
On spring afternoons, accom
panied by one or more of his
four children, he often sprawls
in the bleachers to watch a col
lege baseball game.
From 1923 to 1948 he
didn't miss a Michigan State

missed the next game deliber-'

Ev Shelton's Cowboys put on
the heaviest practice session
here, scrimmaging about an

Coast referees to familiarize
themselves with Far West offic

haunt Wooden In post-season
playoffs regularly. Time and
again he has piloted his teams
to the Coast conference South
ern division crown, only to
have something happen to a
key player. This year It's Don
Bragg who caught the frown of
the jinx.
The freshman forward injured
his foot during practice after the
club had whipped Washington
for the conference title. Whether
his loss will upset the smoothly
operating Uclans remains to be
seen.
Another freshman, John
Moore of Gary, Ind., will switch
from his starting job at forward
to take over Bragg's position.
Hibler will step into the center
slot. Bragg is with the team, and
took a limping workout, but
probably will not play.

All 41,273 yearling steelhead

so that they can reach the sea

In addition to yearling fish

The fry releases are described
as primarily a thin-out operation
to make room for next year's
growing crop of yearling trout.
Reino O. Koskl of the commis

that the switch from fry and
fingerlings to yearling fish pro

studies carried out by commis

and 80 per cent in lakes are being

Portland, Ore. (U,l!)Yale bas

said today he will advocate
boosting the width of the free
throw lane to 12 feet when hoop1

The former University of Ore

would be the 'answer to critics
who charge that present-day bas
ketball is dominated by sky
scraping players.
He also said he would recom
mend to the basketball coaches'
conference that two free throws
be awarded on all defensive
fouls, without the opposition
waiving the second shot. Hob
son, who is chairman of the U

committee, said the rule would
make fouling unprofitable,

For 19-Year-Old Pitcher
Miami. Fla. UR General
Manager Buzz Bavasi said Fri
day he has turned down an offer
of 250,000 for a young pitcher
in the Brooklyn Dodger larm
system.
The offer, he said, came from
the Cleveland Indians despite
the fact that the pitcher is sub
ject to the draft. Bavasi did not
name the young Hurler involved
but the United Press learned it
is John Podres, a left hander
who was the most sensational
pitcher in class D baseball last
year.
Although not on the roster of
the parent club, Podres has been
spring training with the Dodgers
and baseball men who have
seen him say he is destined to
be one of the greatest.
"He Is quick, sharp and has
fine control," owner Bob Car
penter of the Phillies said
after watching him In an ex
hibition game. "He should be
a world-beater when he
matures."
Only 19, Podres won 21 while
losing only three with Hazard,

Looks Promising
It looks like Salem Is lo

field at Bush's Pasture after
all. At least the picture Is
promising at this point la the
drive to raise funds for such
a project.
Of the $3,500 needed to set
up the lighted field, $900 has
already been raised, and there
hasn't even been a concen
trated effort yet.
That was the report made
by Salem Softball association
officers at a meeting with a
group of players and tans at
the 1'iMCA last night.
The remaining $3,100 Will
be raised (Softball officials
hope) through pledget from
players and fans.
The pledges will work this
way. Pledge cards will be
distributed. Softball enthusi
asts may mall their pledges
to Randle Oil company, 3375
Portland road, or may be
telephoned to 21471.
If not enough money Is
pledged In 60 days, the
pledge then become non-collectible,
and the project will

Youths Taking Over
For Boston
By LEO H. PETERSEN i
(United Praia SporU Editor)
Bradenton, Fla. UH Tommy!
Holmes' youth movement In his
first full season as manager of
the Boston Braves appeared on
the verge of paying dividends
today.
Prospects are that six or seven
of the 18 rookies he has in camp
will make the club.
We are, of course, shooting
for the works," Holmes said,
but I definitely have decided
to go with kids this year, even
if they cost us ball games. We
found out last season we could
n't win with what we had so
we decided to rebuild.
"It's 1953 and 1954 I'm
thinking more about than
1952, but that doesn't mean
we are conceding a thing this
season. But when you have
to go with youngsters you
know they are going to make
costly mistakes and I only
hope our fans will stay loyal
to us and give the kids a
chance to develop. Then we
are going to give them a real
good ball club,"
Holmes refused to single out
any of the rookies, claiming
'the field is wide open and
every one of them has a chance
to stay."
The Braves' skipper is spend
ing most of his time with the
kid infielders, for the Boston
inner defense last season was
a sieve.
"The infield is my big prob
lem," Holmes admitted. "I'm
hoping to come up with three
kid infielders who can play
third, second and short. We are
set at first with Earl Torgeson,
although George Crowe,
rookie, is a mighty fine pros
pect ana Is going to give Torgey
a good battle for the job."
Two of the most highly
touted rookies are third base
men Ed Mathews and Billy
Klaus. Mathews Is the better
hitter, but Klaus, according
