Chicago, Dec. 9. (AP) The big men of baseball, who have a tough time at any normal ma jor league gathering finding time to discuss trades, have been so wrapped up In the Pacific developments the last two days that they haven't been able to produce any noteworthy moves. But not so Mr. Robert Feller of the Cleveland Indians, who probably has more reason to be concerned about the war than any of the executives. He's 1-A draft material, but rather than submit to the formal machinery, Bobby is enlisting, and he's made up his mind when, where and how. Surprise Element Just to provide one element of suspense at the baseball meet ing, he said he'd announce his decision tonight by which time any of the 16 major league club owners, managers or other of ficial hirelings may be ready to confer with some other kind of press release. One move that won't be an nounced, however, is the reai filiatlon of Leo (Gabby) Hartnett with the New York Giants, who reieased the former Cub catcher ' .... ... ana manager last lau ana then became Involved In rumors which said they might invite him back.

Coast conference are ready to cooperate with the govern ment in any schedules involving the training of athlete for any possible future service in the various branches. That was the initial action taken in the annual winter meeting of the major western circuit Discussion of whether to retain the old round robin football schedule or go on with the previously accepted plan of including the Universities of Idaho and Montana in the full time Rose bowl scramble was put over. There was some debate, how ever, as to whether the circuit should go on with its unani mous decision, made in 1940, to include the two northeastern members in a new round robin playing schedule. Heretofore, Idaho and Mon tana have enjoyed full voting privilege In the selection of the conference's Rose bowl repre sentative on New Year's day in Pasadena. However, because they have not met the game requirements they have not been considered in the eight game round robin. The round robin group has comprised Southern California, Stanford, California, University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles, Wash ington, Washington State, Ore gon and Oregon State. Chief business transacted yes terday was in the Joint meeting of the conference and indepen dent coaches. They made the following recommendations for rules changes to the national collegiate football rules com mittee: I.
