CLEVELAND, Feb. 26.-Uncle Sam
virtually has wrecked the Cleveland
Rams backfleld.
At least three of the clubs top ball
carriers will be in Army uniforms be-
fore fall, checkup of the roster
showed today.
Ollie Cordill, who last year ap-
peared the answer to Coach Dutch
Clark's desperate search for a classy
wingback, is sure to be missing from
the 1941 games. The slim Texan
now is awaiting appointment to the
Army Air Corps.
Quarterback Vic SpadaCcini, who
carried the brunt of the teams
blocking assignments, and Dante
Manani, CordillS understudy at
halfback, have been placed in Glass
IA by their selective service boards.
Both have low numbers and have
advised the club they undoubtedly
will be called this summer.
President E. P. Bruch of the Ma
tional League team said a prelimi-
nary survey showed these three were
the only players from the 1910 team
likely to be lost.
1--WE hate very much to lose these
boys" Bruch declared, "but after all
we can't compete with Uncle Sam.
I guess there are more important
things in the world now than foot
ball games.
THE loss will be a hard blow for
Clark but I suppose in the end the
thing will be balanced by some of
the other clubs losing key men, too"

Dartmouth loses another league

defense that held Columbia score
less the first eight minutes last night
while the Ellis built a 1910 lead At
half time the Lions had cut the
deficit to 21-18 and in the last eight
minutes they came through with a
scoring splurge, paced by Capt.
Johnny Cerrone, to win 80 to 81.
That gave them a record of five
victories and two losses, while Cor
nell, with six and three, was rele-
gated to third place

serious setback last night. losing a

BY q Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 26.-Another
short lapse in training camp activity,
and one of those typical 24-hour
lulls, sent President Clark Griffith
scurrying from the bridge table to
his upstairs bedroom office today
in search of sensational press
release.
Dipping into the drawer of his
desk, the Old Fox withdrew a paper
and announced to breathless world
that Catcher Rick Ferrell is signed
for the season, an event so startling
that for a few moments the assem-
bled newspapermen stood silent.
With his contribution to the men
tai peace of the universe completed,
Griffith returned to his bridge game
with a retired veterinarian, a re-
tired drygoods dealer and retired
lawn mower salesman while the
press attempted to locate Manager
Bucky Harris to find If he still
liked the chances of his Zukowskis,
Becks, Poydocks, etc.
Dullest Camp In Years.
If ever a spring training camp
opened as dull as this one it es-
capes the memory of the oldest fol-
lowers of baseball. The Ferrell re
lease" is a tip-off. There is no tell
ing how long Griffith has had his
"holdouts" signed and their con-
tracts in his desk drawer, but 1t is
almost certain that in the interest
of publicity he has magnified the
difficulty of getting them signed.
Nobody so far has thrown a ball
hard enough to make catcher use
a glove. Manager Harris decided
last Sunday to start batting prac-
tice but as these lines were written
there hasn't been a hitter at the
plate. There are some ball players
in camp now who wouldn't be ad-
mitted to a class AA camp.
The pace, of course, was stepped
up today with the appearance of
Calvin Griffith, who manages the
Charlotte Club. Calvin joined John
Camel, manager of the Orlando
IedIil, dIlU OOt SdlllUl Ia, wiz dOCSIl
own" anything now that he has
had to conform to new baseball
legislation and choose between
scouting and club owning. The
three of them sat on a bench and
watched the workout with interest,
which was as it should be because
out of 10 of the players will be
divided among them.
Bat Drill Again Slated.
Griffith subtly has attempted to
make Cecil Travis the hardest
player to sign to a contract. which
doesn't ring true because Travis is
the kind of guy who would pay
Griff to allow him to play. With
the signing of Ferrell, the shortstop
supposedly is the last of the I'M
signed, but don't go betting that
he hasn't agreed to terms.
Batting practice was to start
(again) today but don't bet on that
either. About the only safe thing
to assume is that nothing exciting
will happen around this camp until,
at least. the infielders and outfelders
on or about March /. F. E. S.

The nod, however, goes to the

the most remarkable athletic con-

this mans army.
Has Great Basket Team.
The 206th has a near-corner on
basket ball with a ready-made
quintet from Arkansas State COL
lege. This outfit, Battery c Of

junior high school days, annexed
