 New York, Feb. 17.-CUP)-The Brooklyn Dodgers became the first team in organized baseball today to arrange contribution of substan- tial cash sum to the armed services. They announced a four-way pro- gram designed as their share of the nationwide war effort. The club offered to contribute the entire receipts for one day at Eb- bets field, in addition to its share of one road game, to some national service agency.
 Also, every individual on the club from President Larry MacPhail to bat boy will purchase defense bonds and stamps and the facilities of ra- dio broadcasts of the games, bill boards, loud speakers and score cards, will be used to promote the sale of bonds and stamps.
 In addition to admitting at least 150,000 service men in uniform free of charge to Ebbets Field, the Dodg- CTS also will play exhibition games during the training season for the pennant race with camp teams, do- hating the profits to camp athletic funds.
 Free Instruction The services of coaches, scouts and players will be available for instruc- ton when requested by athletic of- ficers and health divisions of army, navy and civilian defense organiza- tions.
 All expenses of Brooklyn players chosen to participate in the two ma- jor league all-star games for the ball and bat fund will be paid by the club and all the facilities of the team, including Ebbets Field, will be available for cooperation with in- dustries or organizations assisting in the programs of various service agencies.
 The entire program will be dupli- cated, without exception, through out the entire Brooklyn organiza- ton which includes 10 minor league clubs.
 Spring training games have been arranged with service teams on April l, 3 at Macon, Ga, with the Camp Wheeler team and on April 4 when the Fort Benning, Ga, outfit will play the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern Association.
 Good Start MacPhafl, his 1942 spring program off to an suspicious start with the signing of hold-out first baseman Dolph Camilli and pitcher Curt Dav- is, left by plane today for Miami with publicity director John Me- Donald and the two most recent signers. The first player contingent pitchers Fred Fftzsimmons, Bob Chipman and Chet Kehn, and Clyde Sukeforth, manager of Montreal entrained yesterday.
 The signing of Camill and Davis gave Brooklyn a total of 30 signed players and eight holdouts. Only two, veteran southpaW Larry French and rookie pitcher Jack Kraus, can definitely be classed as dissatisfied.
 Five players already in Miami, jumping-off spct for the Havana base, who are expected to equal Camilli's quick agreement (to re- ported compromise salary of 100000 are Johnny Allen, Joe Medwick, Arky Vaughan, Dixie Walker and Don Padgett.
 Whitlow Wyatt, the other un- signed player, conferred with Mac- Phail here about 10 days ago but did not sign. However, he indicated at his Buchanan, Ga, home a few days ago that he expected to come to terms shortly.

half chance. He has enlisted in military service so the way is open for new man. Shaughnessy, with his brand new reputation, could quiet many comp1aint-until Yale lost a few more games.
 Even if the de-emphasis policy is altered, any coach would have a full job at Yale. Material there can be more scarce than anyone realizes but with cooperation coach might rebuild in three or four years. If the policy is not changed, any coach would find the task hopeless. Shaughnessy is a miracle man, sure, but he still is a mere man. 4 de-cmphasized Yale isn't an assignment fer man-but for Merlin, Mandrake and Thurston the Great.

ModzeleUski Mark Gets Irish "Okay"

New York, Feb. 17.-UP)- Stanley (Stutz) M0dzelewski's 1,598 points will be recognized as the new all-time collegiate basketball standard record, breaking Hank Luisetti's mark of 1,596 points, authorities said today.
 Statisticians at the office of Ned Irish, promoter of Madison Square Garden dOubleheaders said MOdzelewski's college, Rhode Island State, plays a ma jor schedule.
 The record for scoring in minor college play they said, is the l,94l points scored last year by kenny Griffith of AL derson-B -Broaddus College at Philippi, w. Va, which does not play major schedule.

Hard On Heart


 Playing under Coach Warner Keaney, whose cardinal principle is the more we shoot the more we'll make" the speedy Modzelewski had a great chance to display his tal- entS. Defense, dribbling and short toe ses are forgotten stuff at state where the accent is on court-length passes and long shots. The team travels at such a terrific tempo that it has popularized the saying, "if you're a cardiac, you'd better stay at home for a Rhode Island game is no place for you.'
 Modze.ewski, who weighs 157 and stands 5 feet, II, has been playing basketball since he was in the fourth grade. He acquired his nickname of Stutz from his constant admira- tion and attention as a boy to an automobile of that make owned by a friend. He has earned his way through college as football program manager and salesman and did de- fense work on submarines this past summer at New London, Conn.

MODzELEWSkI
 TOPSL LUISETTI 4-YEAR MARK
Worcester oBy Reaches Goal Against Holy Cross
 Last Night
By TOM NOONAN United Press Staff COrrespOndent)


 Providence, R. l., Feb. 17-(UP)- Stanley (Stutz) Modzelewski, soft spoken Polish youth who shoots bas- kets as accurately and easily as a skeet shooter shatters clay pigeons, was the toast of the Rhode Island State campus at Kingston today as new holder of the major college basketball scoring record.
 The 2l-year-old senior center from Worce ter, Mass, smashed the great Hank Luisetti's four-year mark of 1896 points at Stanford by scoring Is points against Holy Cross here last night to boost his total to 1898. With six games still to play on Rhode Islands famed two points a minute" team the blond Modze- lewski has an opportunity to push his total well over the 1700 mark to figure that may stand in the rec ord books for many years.
 Shorty after setting the new ir- tercouegiate standard in leading Rhode Island to a 62-56 triumph over Holy Cross in a navy relief doubleheader, Modzelewski revealed he hopes to join the navy after graduation as physical education instructor under Lt-Comdr. Gene Tunney.
 We'll Guarded
 Closely covered by the Holy Cross team from his home city of Wor- cester, Modze.ewsk broke loose long enough in the first half to snap three field goals and four fouls through the hoop. He added three field and two fouls in the second half for the IS points, which was telow his college average of 2l.6 points per game but an excellent nights work considering the pres- sure.
 New York. basketball authorities said Modzelewski's mark will be rec ognized as the new major-college scoring record because Rhode Island plays big-time schedule. The nor-college standard of 1941 points was completed last season by Kenny Griffith of Alderson- BroaGdus college at Philippi, w. Va. Here is Modzelewski's record thus

RibbOnT trimming
Is Revived
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-Once upon a time
y women and their daughters
used to spend hours threading rib
bon through beading, this being a
type Of trimming generally used on
indies d often on summer
dresses. It was such long time ago
that this generation has a perfect
right to regard the revival of this
fashion more as a debut than a re-
vival. There is something very in
genue about this sort Of trimming,
especially when black velvet ribbon
is employed on white.
There are some stunning dresses
worn just now that have no trim
ming other than ornamental pock-
cts; the bodice may be plain, SO may
the skirt, but the addition of patch
pockets Immediately makes the
dress important. This detail is used
for the simple date dresses, for
sports dresses, too, not to mention
breakfast coats, which seem to grow
daily more charming.
A word of warning about skirt
lengths seems advisable:
A significant number Of daytime
dresses are several inches longer
than the short line currently worn.
Another phase Of the informal
evening-in-town type of dress be-
sides the black slim ones is repre-
sented by a Calf-length skirt legiti-
mately of wide sweep because of the
use of the very sheer marquisette. A
third departure from present con-
ventions in skirt lengths is the heel
length dinner dress, though regula-
ton, full length is adopted for eve
ming dresses generally.
These notes are from a recent
collection of an important house.

Tips for Your Beauty

To get all the polish that's COM
ing to you out Of the bottles you
have, thin old lacquer with a few
drops non-oIly polish remover or a
special thinning liquid. BE careful
not TO use too much. To get a good
gloss from the polish with fewer
coats, buu the nails first.
Extend the life OF your favOyite
perfume by mOiStcning tiny bits OF
cotton with it and tucking them in
side your hltband pockets. or girdle.
Use again and again until the fra
GRANGE is gone. Guard perfumes
against sunlight, heat and crapora-

long. Stand up. Now, heels together,
with toes turned outward at a As
degree angle. The knees should be
straight, not stiff. Pull the hips
back slightly. This will straighten
out the backbone, more quickly
than your attempts TO pull in and
1latten your abdomen.
Don't worry about throwing the
shoulders back. Just make sure that
they are level tyou might practice
before a full-length mirror, then
hold the hands at the sides so the
thumbs touch the seams Of your
skirt or Stacks. The trick is simple
and you'll have time TO think OF
more important things.
An Erect Posture
Take a deep breath and lift the
chest, arChing it slightly. Your
head, neck and back should be on
the same vertical axis. If you can
not get the feel Of this, try putting
a ruler or long straight stick inside
your collar, touching the back of
the head This will make you hold
the chin in and level, head up. Keep
eyes front. Practice coming into
this position quickly and smartly,
as though ON on h d just
snapped the order at you!
Army officers have other Ideas
that might apply to the beauty
minded woman. There's that bust
ness Of a shower, for instance. Step
out from under the water and soap
yourself from head to foot, then
rinse. There are no halfway meas
ureS of cleanliness in the army.
And there are no excuses for fall
ing to get a haircut when one is
Notwithstanding more women
should do especially now when so
many of you have feather cuts.
The army doesn't suggest dieting,
but officers know that within few
months overweight selectees will be
trim and slim and that the skinny
ones will have put on the required
number Of pounds. All Of which is
due to lots of exercise, regular eat
ing and sleeping habits - nothing
else. It will be interesting to see if
this works as well with women in
Training dS II uOeS WIFI men!
Soldier Is Neat
Soldiers must have their clothes
cleaned as often as necessary,
keep their uniforms brushed and
pressed. Shoes must be shined daily,
hair kept Combed and fingernailS
clean. No woman needs to be re-
minded TO do these things, but all
of you are just bit careless about
good grooming details at times.
You wear your white blouse or
gloves lust one more time" allow
slips to show, hose seams to become
twisted. Make a note to be as smart
and neat as a soldier in uniform.
Finally, soldier is expected TO
have good mannerS-to be polite to
Supcriors, TO be fair and pleasant
with ones equals, with no arguing
or wrangling. With women the in
StruCtiOn might be broadened TO in
Clude no gossip! Better manners
would contribute no end Of charm
to the average woman. Is isn't that
we are rude, but that we are some
times careless about the little
thoughtful gestures and kindnesSeS
that characterize true graCiOuSneSS
