football is understood to be about
ready for announcement by the
United States Military Academy
with Earl (Red Blaik, present Dart
mouth mentor, in command.
| Blaik, graduate of West Point
and former assistant coach here
under 1t. Gar Davidson, has been
comforting with officials of the
academy since the close of the sea-
son and the announcement of his
choice may be made this week,
reliable sources said today.
He would succeed Capt Bill Wood,
who was returned to active service
with the cavalry at Fort Bliss, Tex,
last month after Army had closed
one of its most disastrous grid cam
paiens in history, winning only one
game.

The cadets have been coached for
40 years by officers, but the switch
to civilion system would not be
so sharp with Blaik at the helm.
Harrv tFatSr EllinCer, line coach

pected to make the transfer with
him, also is a graduate of West

Ellinger was sought by Army as
an assistant coach for Wood prior

and is a possibility for the head
coaching post should anything pre-
vent Blaik from accepting.
Dartmouth has known of Blaik's
negotiations and has been trying to
induce him to remain at his present
position. Last night Athletic Di-
rector William H. McCarter said
Blaik had not resigned and that
his contract carried over into next
year. although refusing to specify
the date. He originally was hired

Krakauskas has been with the

pitching to make them contenders

Allen, a 35-year-old right handler,
came to Cleveland from the New
York Yankees in 1886 The next
season was his greatest, with Is
victories and a lone defeat in the
last game of the season.
Two years ago he suffered an arm
injury and last season he won nine
games and lost eight. His temper
became comparatively calm at the
same time
Manager Fred Haney has hope
that Allen can return to the form
he showed last season in hanging
