"very satisfac '," saying that tome of tho coaches previously had been fear ful of the manpower situation. "Minnesota had 60, Ohio State more than 00, Iowa has over 40, Wisconsin 70 and Northwestern at least 60," he said. "I asked one pessimistic college men if they wouldn't havo as many can didates at when the game start ed at his school and ho answered 'yos.' That reminded mc that when football wet started at Il linois only 12 boys reported, yet tho school played a collegiate schedule." DANCE EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT SKATELAND ' ' SlSXlamaWAve.' ' Vl '' ' Music Pappy Gordon's Oregon Hillbillies Auspleet Veterans of Foreign Wars to Joe Give NEW YORK. Julv lfl ttPi Joe Medwick, Brooklyn out fielder, tortny was sold to the new sorK uianls for the waiver price of $78,000. Eddie Brannlck, secretary of the Giants, said that no other players were Involved and that tha veteran player, who broke Into the malnra with It.. c Louis Cardinals in 1032, would report to the Glanta In Phila delphia tomorrow. By JUDSON BAILEY ' Associated Press Bports Writer The Bums' rush Is on in Brooklyn for fair and this time (he heave-ho Is about to go to Joseph Michael (Muscles) Med wick, the once celebrated out fielder whose usefulness to the Dodgers, like that of Loula.Nor mun (Bobo) Ncwsom, apparent ly has come to an end. When the ball club left New York last night for a three weeki trip away from the stormy scene of insurrection at Ebbeta Field, Medwick wat loft at home. . Although the maneuver was shrouded In mystery by club officials, no mirrors wore need ed to see behind the veil of Branch Rickey's house-cleaning. Having moved to wipe out the rebellion against Manager Leo Durocher by trading Newsom to the St. Louis Browns for two antiquated pitchers. Fritz Ostcr mucller and Archie McKaln, Rlckoy hat 26 players on his roster, over the limit, and was compelled to get rid of an other man. His choice of Medwick was connected only indirectly with the rebellion. Rickey had been trying to dispose of him ever since becoming president of the Dodgers last November. He didn't like the temperament of the famous slugger, who never batted lest than .300 In 12 sea sons with the St. Louis Cardi nals and Brooklyn and who had been the National league's bat ting champion and most valu able player In 1037. ' Last night Durocher vlmply announced that Medwick had been given "permission" to re main at home and that an ex planation probably would be forthcoming today after the game with the Brave. Rickey's office said he would bo out of town today. ' The Dodgers, while Idle, even gained half gome on -the Card Inals, who were whipped 4-3 at Pittsburgh last night. The Chicago Cubs bunched five runt In the third and three In the eighth to crush the .Cin cinnati Reda 8-0 behind the four hit hurling of Hiram Bithorn. The Phillies pounded, a 0-1 victory out of the New York Giant at Dick (Kcwpie) Bar rett, formerly of Seattle, pitched steady seven-hit ball, The only run against him waa a homer by Buster Maynard. In the American league Qrval Grove attained his eighth tri umph without defeat by pitch ing five-hit ball as the Chicago White Sox downed the Detroit Tigcra 7-4. Washington whipped the Bos ton Red Sox .4-3 with Bob John ton driving In three, runs, two of them on a homer. The St. Louis Brownt stopped the Cleveland Indians 2-1 in the only game played in day light. A home-run by Vernon Tephent, .hit thirteenth, account ed for both Brownie runt.

Rush Gil Dodds May Hustle "Four-Minute Mile" at r SAN FRANCISCO, July 16 (fa Gundor Haogg's decision to run, the mile here tomorrow really started something. It's got the boys wondering about the chances of forolng the Swedish speedster to round the four laps at Kezar stadium at a time close to the mythical "four minute mile." The background Is entirely fa vorable for a crack at the unof ficial world record. Haegg hasn't had to hustle In his previous American races; no one could approach him in the longer distances.

Dpdds, the Boston Divinity student who is the top American miler. Dodds trailed Haegg In their two-mile contests in Chicago and Los Angeles, but he has chalked up a 4:08.5 for the' indoor mile at Cleveland. Moreoverr John D. Fulton of Stanford university is looked upon as ' another entrant who might force Hacgg to turn on his reservoir of j speed, at least for a while. Young Fulton has a 1:54 half-mile to his credit, and was a miler in his high school days. Haegg has run' the mile in 4:04.6. Arne Andersson only re cently lowered his countryman's unofficial world record by two seconds, so if Haegg needs any further Incentive, there it is.
