BOBBY FELLER TO
BEAT DRAFT CALL
!E
Mound Star To Announce
Decision On Branch Of
Service This Evening.
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. Gabby already has a

said today. Some concern had
been expressed that he might
be an alien and thus lost to
the team for the Rose bowl
game with Duke.

Coast Conference Ready to
Assist in Soldier Training
By Russ Newlaad
Palm Springs, Cal., Dec. 94) Representatives of the Pac
ific. 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
