to football running up to New

the way Alexis Thompson has
worked things out the tour may
make money. He bought up
more than $4,000 worth of seats
for tonight's show, including all
the $40 ducats, to sell to his

that the boys will make deal

at first base now IS the only fixture.
The battle for three positions at

both will be regulars when the Mats

RepaSs Likely ShOrtstop.
Repass, who played second base
and shortstop for Columbus, thus
becomes the leading candidate for
the shortstop job, with Frank
Croucher, recently obtained from
Detroit, likely to operate at sec
ond base. Gale will be favored to
handle third base. but may receive
strenuous competition for the berth
from Hills Layne, up from Chatta-
nooga of the Southern Association.
The situation could be altered
overnight, of course, for there is no
guarantee RepaSs or Gale will make
the grade. Jimmy Pofahl. you re-
member, came to the Mats highly
recommended, but Topped mis-
erably. Croucher is rated an ac-
ceptable fielder and Harris is hoping
steady employment will improve his
.254 mark of last season.
Should Repass disappoint, Crouch

stop. but regardless the Mats will trot
on the field for their opener a re-
modelled outfit. Outfielder George
Case and Pitcher Dutch Leonard are
the only remaining members of the
Washington team that opened the

Increase in Football Scoring
Voted Main Trend of 7941

Of defensive and offensive specialists;
the decline of Pacific Coast football
and increased interest despite 1t;
rise of Southern teams and good
shoWings of Big Nine and Southwest

The only other developments that
received the consideration OF more
than one writer we're: The increased
interest in bowling, especially among
women and children; the number OF
athletes joining up with Uncle Sam,
with the resultant talk OF permitting
freshmen to participate in varsity
sports: the growth of winter sports,
particularly skiing; continued in
terest in night softball and the in
creased interest in participant sports
such as golf and bowling.
Some Varied Opinions.

was the return of player managers

For putting three teams in the

tournament, the improvement of the
cage sport in California was rated
No. by a West Coast writer. A
metropolitan writer named as his
choice the increased interest in
harness racing in New York. Others
saw decided trends toward more
youngsters appearing in competition,
the gain of pro sports over amateur
competitions, greater attendance in
all sports despite the war, return of
interest in amateur and semi-pro
