' FUTUHE QUESTION
It teemi the baseball fellas
can't get together on what the
war U going to mean to the
game.
i By way of the high wires we
find that Happy Franklo Frisch
is gladdened by Pittsburgh pros
pects for '42. "We're in for a
great year," chortles Frankie,
who Is hobbling about with a
brand new cane after his release
from a foot operation. "We've
got a lot of new blood in the
lineup."
He believes that war will have
little affect on basebnll general
ly. "It's great for civilian morale.
It gives people a lift and tides
them over the blues. We'll cer
tainly do our part to entertain
the people," the ex-Fordham
Flash related.
And here's Doc Prothro, who
may have let his three-year ex
perience with the Philadelphia
Phillies warp his outlook.
Doc, now part owner of the
Memphis Chicks, warns that
baseball men might as well
tighten their belts for there's a
tough year looming. The war
won't hit the majors immediate
ly, the Doctor says, but it's go
ing to slap the minors almost at
once.
Blackouts and prohibition of
mass assemblies on both coasts
will almost force the necessity
of small afternoon gatherings
which isn't money in the bank.
The father of Duke's quarter
back thinks, however, that black
outs will hit the majors hardest
because ordinarily the 1942 sea
ion would have provided the big
gest night crowds in history.
. Lou Boudreau, Cleveland's
Juvenile manager, is lamenting
the loss of some 25 games in the
person of Bobby Feller who
Tuesday went to work for Uncle
Sam in the boatswain's depart
ment. In addition to Feller, the
Tribe stands to lose the services
of Jim Hogan, promising young
catcher who was counted on to
replace Rollie Hemsley, traded
off earlier this winter.
' However, on the sunny side,
mini Lou expects no resumption
of the disciplinary troubles which
almost drove Oscar Vitt to drink
in 1940. Oscar, yfiu'll remem
ber, finally ended up in Portland
which is close by.
V Young Lou is spending the off
season as assistant to Coach Doug
Mills in handling the University
of Illinois cagers. He was an
all -Big Ten forward for the
Orange and Blue just three years
ago.

maneuver.
it is apparent that one or the
other eleven is off-side and
there is a rule that says when
one player draws another off
side, number one's team should
get five yards backward.
"We want to eliminate this
double off-side matter," said
Okeson.
The hideout, or sleeper play,
where it is screened by substi
tutions, was also frowned upon
and a 15-yard penalty attached
for future reference. This type
of play comes when a coach
sends in, say, five players. In
the confusion, six players start
off the field only one stops at
the sideline and takes refuge in
the cluster of chain-handlers,
the headlincsman and possibly
eight photographers.
The sleeper play with the
wide flanker is all right but
not under this kind of wrap.
West coast observers will re
member that Babe Hollingbery
of Washington State thought he
detected this in one game,
yelled to high heaven and the
"sleeper" was awakened.
Gone, too, under the 1942
supplemented rules, is the re-versed-center,
which gained
prominence last season on Ossie
Solem's Syracuse team. It was
described as the "Y-formation."
Alonzo S t a g g sounded the
keynote of its death knell when
he commented:
"Football is a combat game,
and should not be played by
players turning their backs to
their opponents."
The new rule clarifications
say that a player, to be legally
on the line of scrimmage, must
face his opponents' end line, and
his feet must be behind the
ball.
Another supplemental note
provides that in the last two
minutes of a half a referee may
start or stop the clock if, in his
opinion, one team or the other
is intentionally trying to delay
a game by sending in substi
tutes. It also more sharply defined
the last two-minute sub rule to
prescribe that when the referee
has finally and definitely put
the ball into place ready for
play, no sub can be sent in
without bringing a five-yard
penalty along with him.

Nicholson Says Bomber Punches
Just as Hard, Doesn't Waste 'Em
By SID FEDER
GREENWOOD LAKK. N. Y Jim. 7 tV It's nice, steady
work with good pay, George Nicholson pointed out, but this
business of being u regular sparring partner for Joe Louis Is
"getting to be mighty dangerous In tunes like this."
George ought to know. The angular "cuty," the kind of boxer
who's as hard to hit as Feller's fast ball on a cloudy afternoon,
was a sparmate in Joe's camp In 1037 whllo the bomber was
training to win the title from Jim Draddock. Since then, Joe has
had 20 camps, and George has been in 18 of them helping to
sharpen the axe.
And, Just to show you that George isn't the ordinary kind of
punching bag, in some 200
rounds of boxing Joo has been
able to set him down on his
silk panties just once. "That
time, I went into a crouch Jes'
once too often, instead of keep
in' Joe guessm ," George ud
mits. The job has been so steady
that George hasn't even both
ered trying to got a fight in two
yeurs. So when he tells you
that Joe, training for his heavy
weight title tete-a-tete with liud
dy 13aer Friday night, is Just
as fast, a more deadly puncher
and a "smarter fighter'' than
ho was back there m the early
days,, you're listening to a guy
who knows slightly more than
one-and-onc about the matter.
"lie punches jes' as hard."
George explained today as Joe
put the finishing touches on his
sparwork, "but the big differ
ence is now he don't waste none
of 'em. He shuffles in like he
always did, but he never swings
wild. He keeps after you till he
