Harridge traveled here today. Frick arrived last night. In New York, the informant, who asked that his name not be used, said: "Frick has gone to Washing ton armed with a list of the majors' personnel, consisting mostly of 4-Fs, dischargees, overage and underage players. As we have said many times be fore, we don't want to use a sin gle man who is needed by the armed forces or by essential in dustry. "However, we'd like to keep the men who are not needed. All we ask is no discrimination. I believe Frick's principal point will be 'either leave us enough men to play baseball or tell us to stop. You can't expect us to play without players.' " Baseball's war problems ap parently pivot around the avail ability of sufficient players if congress enacts work-or-jail leg islation. And like other sports, baseball also faces transporta tion problems.

Bingham has called a meeting of the National Collegiate Football Rules com mittee for New York City on March 31, the Associated Press learned today. Bingham, Harvard's athletic director on military leave, was named chairman of the code committee a year ago last Janu ary but refused to convene his group, declaring there was no need for such action and that the grid law would remain frozen for the duration. He suggested, howeyer, the war-year football season be de voted to experiments, with the result that during the 1944 cam paign virtually every conference in the country tampered with the rules in some manner and further liberations were in pros pect for the coming season. Even after the coaches asso ciation met in Columbus, Ohio, last December and made six rec ommendations to the rules group, Bingham declared there was no need for a meeting. Of the six recommended changes one would prohibit out- of-bounds kickoffs, exacting a five-yard penalty for each wild Boot. Another would rjermit use of a one-inch tee at the kickoff and a third would require that blockers keep their elbows and hands close to their own bodies. The remaining three all deal with the forward pass. One change would permit passes FBI Head Turns Down Commissioner Post MONTGOMERY, Ala., Feb. 20 (IP) John Edgar Hoover, whose appointment as national base ball commissioner was suggested recently by Sports Editor Sam Adams of the Montgomery Ad vertiser, says he has "no inten tion of leaving my present posi tion in the midst of a war."
