0PM Puts Tools
And Aluminium
Under Priority
BY CECIL b. DICKSON
Int'f News service star Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The
Office of Production Management
today invoked for the first time
its drastic power TO secure tools
and materials for the defense
program by placing a priorities
ban on the machine tool and bulk
aluminium industries.
OPM Priority Director Z. f.
Stettinius Jr. said the step was
taken 10 guarantee that all the
products of these vital industries
shall be devoted exclusively to
defense, particularly for airpfane
manufacture.
II came shortly after the House
had voted down a proposed investi-
cation of the machine tool indus
try on the strength of a report
fEom Defense Director William s.
Knudsen that tool makers shat
tered all production records in
1910 with a S450.000,000 output.
knudsen said machine tool produc-
ton should reach a $3.50, 900, 900
output this year.
WAIT FOR HOUSEWIVES
The OPM order means that
housewives may have TO wait for
deliveries S.pets= and=pans. =
Stettinius said. since the aluminium
will be diverted TO airplanes and
other defense articles. Both alumni
mum producers and tool manufac-
turers will have to report monthly
to OPM on their civilian orders.
Stettinius made it clear that for
the time being only defense orders
for bulk aluminium and machine
tools are to be approved. He said
the situation is acute and de-
manded speedy action.
whenever priority action Is
taken. some one Is going to get
hurt" he said. but we are
taking every possible means
through labor consultants and
economists TO prevent men from
being thrown ut of work or
other descriptions in the coun-
try"
FOUR REASONS
Stettinius said four factors led
to the invocation of priority on
aluminium:
The British military pro-
gram stepup. which closed Can
ada as source of United States
supply.
. Withholding of large GUAM
titles of scrap aluminium needed
by primary producers) from the
market in this country.
. Increase in demand for de-
Tense articles.
. Increase in production OF
nondefenSe aluminium articles.
for which substitutes must be
found.
The priority ban on machine
tools follows a recent imposition
of a price ceiling on sale of Sec
ondhand machine tools and the
request for magnesium producers
TO fill only defense orders for the
next 90 days.

AII-Southern Players

By the Associated Press.


RICHMOND. Va, Sept. 30.-If
you are not looking too hard at
the mighty battle between Duke and
Tennessee at Durham this Satur-
day, then spare a glance for the
North Carolina State scrap
at Charlotte.
All the conferences family feud-
ing will be centered in the CarolinaS
this week end, with three games
counting toward the pennant, and
the Clemson North Carolina State
encounter looks important to the
standings in this early stage of the
season.
Clemson, defending champion,
which boasts of End Joe Blalock,
already has demonstrated strength
by overpowering Presbyterian Col
lege. Al to II, and Virginia Military
Institute. 36 to 7.
The word from Clemson is that
the Tigers feel the need for more
reserve strenth, but V. M. I. claims
to have noticed no lack of it. The
Clemsonites have in Jumping Joe
an all-Southern end and in Charley
Timmons the 1910 ll-Southern full
back.
Against this strength Coach Doc
Newton Of State will put Wolfpack
which defeated the University of
Richmond, IA to 7. with some pretty
mean passing by its sophomore
tossing ace, Art Faircloth of Wash
ington, and then played a surpris-
ing 6-6 tie with Davidson.
Clemson won last years game,
rs to 7.
The two other in-the-c conference
games takes North Carolina to
Davidson and Wake Forest to Fur
man. The other nine games in
which Southern Conference teams
will participate will be with outside
opposition.

American Confident
OF Winning Start
Despite Injuries
Faces Sturdy Inaugural
Opposition Saturday
In Susquehunnu

Staff Cassell, American U. coach,
secuted Susquehanna in its opening
football game with Buffalo yesterday
and probably will return with more
bad news to add to the welter of
dismal tidings emanating from the
Eagle campus.
Bing Byham, monolith in whom
much of Americans line power has
centered, appears definitely lost for
the year with a fractured cheek
bone, and the squad is beset with a
host of other minor hurts. But
hope springs eternal, and the Eagles
are blessed with enough to make
them think they can take Susque-
hanna in their opening grid game
next Saturday. It's the only local
game on the calendar.
Russ Arnaud, 190-pound freshman
fullback, still has painful shoulder
injury and may not be ready for the
inaugural. Both centers, Ted Sta
wicki and Francis Riley, have bad
bruises, but not serious enough to
keep them on the bench. Paul Weld
ler, an end, has been ripping things
apart in practice, but also has bad
shoulder. and Jim Petro, guard,
is hobbling around on a weak ankle.
But there is a bright side to the
picture. George Hobby, a candidate
for Byham's berth, is working like
beaver and shaping up well in
practice and probably will get the
assignment. Also something to smile
about is the play of Bob OHora, a
transfer from Georgetown, who is
boring into regular job at guard.
SuSquehanna, undefeated last
year. conquered American by a
1913 count, but may not be able to
repeat because of the loss of several
stellar players, plus Americans i'm
provement. Alonzo Stagg, jr.. Cru
saders' coach, lost two all-Eastern
and one Little All-America and will
find it difficult to replace them. The
team, however. has II lettermen re-
turning, in addition to Is with some
experience.
Larry Isaacs, the teams leading
ground gamer in 40; Jack Helm,
another elusive ball carrier, and Co.
Capt. Ken Lyons will be the trio
around whom Stagg fashions his at
tack this season.

edkn Figure Little Eastern Pro Title 7usse Giants Leeman Hints
Character of Pilots Reflected
In Contrast of Cool Yankees,
Noisy, Determined Dodgers

the year has been of Leo with his
nose stuck suuarely in an umpire's
face. One Metropolitan daily has
adopted a standing head for TINS
picture-"Yeah, It's Leo Again.
Mccarthy dutifully dons oaSe-
ball uniform each afternoon the
Yankees play, but only to cut down
the wear and tear on his business
suits as he rides the bench. He SITS
and chews tobacco, now and then
changing to the other cheek. The
crowd seldom sees him unless II
reaches the park an hour or more
before game time, when he STANDS
out around second base and watches
batting practice.
Durocher is extremely close TO his
players; in fact, some of his critics
think he is too close. He is a long
personal friend and golfng COM
panion of his star leftfielder, Joe
Medwick, and generally acts pretty
much like one of the boys. He
argues with them just ike ne
argues with MacPhail. 1t is a sort
of Dodger tradition, going back to
the managerial reign Of Uncle VIII
bert Robinson. who debated his
pitching selections heatedly with
taxi drivers.
Joe Inspires Loyalty.
Mccarthy, on the other hand, is
boss of the Yankees. 1t would be
difficult to imagine one of his play
ers arguing with Joe or doing any,
thing he was told not TO do. Babe
Ruth went over his head at times,
they say, but he was Babe Ruth,
and now Mccarthy is managing his
seventh pennant winner and the
Bambino is out of baseball.
McCarthy'S strange hold over his
men is nearly as puzzlng to those
close to the Yankees as it is to out
Siders. He doesn't fraterniZe with
them or try to be a good fellow"
Yet he seems to inspire a personal
loyalty and team spirit witi1szt
equal in baseball.
1t would be equally difficult %
conceive of Mccarthy arguing dS1r
club policy with his dignifled and
aged boss. President Ed Barrow.
Where MacPhail sometimes talks 10
Durocher like a not-too- bright puril
and their sessions tend to be stormy,
Barrow and Mccarthy get together
and discuss their occasional prob
lens with the gravity Of a pair Of
bankers deciding to foreclose.
Our rival pilots equally are for
tunate in one respect: They have
organizations behind them that are
willing and anxious to spend big
money for players.
Jealous rivals claim that is q nicer
thing to have than managerial
brains. Both help, probably.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Commis-
sioner Elmer Layden said today he
had not received the protest of
Coach Earle H Greasy Neale over
the outcome of the National Foot
ball League game between his Phil
adelphia Eagles and the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Il haven't heard a word from
Neale," Layden said, but learned
from another source that a protest
was on the way. Well be glad to
investigate any grievance and make
a decision after getting a report
from the officials and both teams"
Neale said he was basing a pro-
test to Layden on penalties inflicted
on the Eagles in the Saturday night
game. He said officials called a
clipping penalty on Brooklyn, but
then stepped off Is years against
the Eagles. When Neale rushed onto
the field the Eagles were set back
another Is yards.
This was the same game in which
Referee Bill Friesell suffered a
broken leg when struck accidentally

Associated Press Srorts Writer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-As a gen.
eral proposition, baseball clubs take
on the color and the character of
their respective managers. The
Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York
Yankees, clashing Wednesday in the
opening game of what promises to
be hectic World Series, are no ex-
ceptions.
The Dodgers are Leo Durocher
right down to the last shrill pro-
test, the final desperate bid for
victory. They are young in spirit,
volatile and loud; as full of de-
termination as a sailor on his first
shore leave in six months.
And the Yankees are Marse Joe
Mccarthy, calm and confident,
almost never ruffled. They are ex-
pert Workmen and know it. They
are serene of temperament, because
Mccarthy will fire a sorehead in
a minute, and they know that, too.
They are as nearly a complete
contrast as one will find in any
walk Of life-Durocher and Nc
Carthy.
Mccarthy Never Major Player.
Durocher up to few years ago
was one of the games great short
stops, a charter member of the
rowdy gas house gang of the ST.
Louis Cardinals. Mccarthy never
played lick of big league baseball
and, according to his own quiet
admission, was only an average
minor league infielder.
This will be the seventh World
Series for Mccarthy. He won his
first league championship with the
Chicago Cubs back in 1929 and it's
an old story with him. He is an
institution with the Yankees, nc
matter what happens in this series.
Joe can afford to be complacent.
1t is Durocher'S first managerial
victory, the quick realization of a
dream known probably to every
player. He took over the Dodgers
only two seasons ago and it was
well understood that he needed to
produce a winner pronto. The poor
guy has lost something like Is
pounds during the last month s
stern battle with the St. Louis
Cardinals. His cheeks look hollow
and he hasn't been sleeping too well
Durocher Clothes Crazy
Nothing, though, ever will dull
Leo's sartorial taste. He is one oi
the snappiest dressers outside the
circus. His jackets are very long
his collars high enough to choke a
goat and his cravats something tc
stare at. He offers President Larry
MacPhail of the Dodgers some real
competition in this respect.
Mccarthy. as BELTS his SO years
and his station in baseball, is or
the conservative side. running tc
stout blues and pin stripes. He and
Mrs. Mccarthy live their summers
in an apartment on Central Park
sometimes listening happily to the
radio, whereas the Durochers oc-
cupy a hotel suite a few blocks
from Times Square and like to get
around.
Each winter the McCarthys re-
turn TO their home in Buffalo, ice
not to show up again until the
baseball meetings in midwinter
when he tells with some pride how
hard the wind blows off the lakes
His exercise is extremely limited
The Durochers still make St. Louis
their home, but Leo gets down
South early to play golf, at which
he is second-flight.

D. T.. Under Scrutiny
For Recipient Of
Sullivan Trophy
All al A. A. U. Districts
To Offer Candidates
Under New Setup

A search for an outstanding
amateur athlete in this area to be
the Districts candidate for the
James E. Sullivan Memorial Trophy.
awarded annually by Amateur
Athletic Union to the Nations out
standing athlete, will get under way
Immediately.
A committee headed by DR.. o. U.
Singer and including Winfree john
son and William E. Russell has been
named to handle the task and will
seek the advice of fans and sports
writer's alike.
This is the first time an effort has
been made to ferret out outStand-
ing athletes in all of the A A. US
Al districts. Heretofore the award
was made on a basis of scattered
votes throughout the country.
Under the new setup a special
committee will select from the Al
names submitted the five considered
most worthy of receiving the honor.
These, in turn, will be presented to
the national Board of Governors for
vote to decide the winner.
A mere vote will not suffice to
qualify candidates this year. The
national body is asking IA questions
concerning his character, activities,
ability and numerous other quail
ifications and it will take a truly
outstanding youngster to meet the
rigid test
Although Al Blozis' name naturally
would come to mind, 1t is believed he
will be passed over for another
strictly grown performer. For
one thing Blozis has not competed
enough locally to qualify for the
District vote although he would be
eligible as a Georgetown student.
He probably will poll a heavy num-
Der of ballots in New York, where
he competed for the New York
Athletic Club.
Voting is not restricted to any
particular sport and fans opinions
will be considered as carefully as
those of sports writer's.
Gregory Rice, Notre Dame miller,
won last years trophy and before
him the victor was Joe Burk. inter-
national single sculls champion.
The Sullivan Trophy was awarded
first in 1880 and the first amateur
so honored was Bobby Jones, golf
