NEW YORK,' May 17 VP)
Give Asa Bushnell, who runs the
east's, 'central athletic office,
credit-for the most progressive
pair of moves In wartime col
lege sports. ... Asa was respon
sible for unfreezing the football
rules-and he ' maneuvered the
"voluntary" travel reduction
program that probably kept ODT
restrictions from being a lot
tighter, i . . But we don't get the
48-hour restriction. That rules
out the .'possibility of mid-week
travel, when the 'burden on the
railroads is the lightest. . . . Won
der if all this will reduce travel
enough to make up for what
will be added by schools resum
ing competition this year and
by Bushnell's trips to Washing
ton to confer with ODT offi
cials? I THREE, AND OUT
Looks as if Mort Cooper, In
quitting the' Cardinals for the
third time, was-going after the
modern "walkout" -records of
such guys as "Homesick Huch"
Geary, Buddy Rosar. and Blimp
Phels. . . . But he'll never even
threaten Rube Waddell's all
time mark. Waddell used to
leave-the.. A's almost any -time
someone suggested it would be a
, good idea to go fishing.. .
