AS the bulky field of 30 COM

this war-year successor OF the
National Amateur meet, Lehman
led with sub-par round of II.
The prematurely gray Chi

Washington Schools Little
Affected by Bus Ban for
Use Of Sport Teams

Washington and nearby schools
likely will be little affected by the
ruling of Director Joseph B. East
man of the Office of Defense Trans
portation forbidding the use of
school buses for transportation of
basket ball teams and spectators
to games this winter.
Eastman's ruling was made in the
case Of nine Iowa high schools re-
questing an exemption from rubber
conservation measures for their
teams. Special transportation equip
ment has been denied to colleges for
some time, and high schools also
must use regular bus and railroad
facilities, Eastman said.
Metropolitan Washington schools
in the past has had little occasion
to use special buses or school buses
except for out-of-town trips, and
these have been out for some time
Regular transportation services in
and around the city reach prac-
tically every school.
Washington public high officials
already are planning to use regular
streetcars and buses for team trans
portation, and with most of the
games at night this year, the players
are to report to the gyms individually
from their homes.

AS the major leagues held sepa-
rate sessions here today in launch
ing their annual winter meeting,
they had the fond wishes of sports
writer's that they would create some
news. Bill Terry's resignation as
farm chief of the Giants prevented
totally dull day in yesterdays
pre-huddle chatting.
One of the more important items
that will be considered by the
moguls is the question of spring
training. Joseph B. Eastman, De-
fense Transportation director, has
suggested Grapefruit League games
be eliminated or drastically cur
tailed, that travelling incident to
spring training be minimized and
that teams train as close to their
lloiiiC IoWllS dS pOSSlDle.
Charlottesville a Possibility.
That could mean, providing base
ball men feel it advisable to contrib
ute to the war effort, that the Mats,
for instance, might train at Char
lottesville, Va, and hold only intra-
squad exhibition games. Clark
Griffith still may take his team to
Orlando, Fla, but the Mats exhibit
ton slate, if any, will be sliced to
a few games with teams training
nearby.
The Mats once trained at Char
lottesville, before they became ac-
customed to the luxuries and SUM-
shine of such spots as Tampa,
Biloxi and Orlando. That was in
the horse-and-buggy era, of course,
but the tone of Eastman's sugges-
tlons may necessitate return to
those less distant training camps.

Decline Is Greatest
On Coast, Least in
Middle West Area
BY AUSTIN BEALMEAR,
Associated Press Sports Writer

! NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The war,
which drew the blame for player
shortages, travel difficulties and
other unpleasantries endured by
college football this year, also hit
most of the Nations major gridiron
schools where it hurt the most-at
he box Office.
Some of the teams played before
more fans than the previous season,
out grid attendance as a whole
suffered it's first sizeable decline in
recent years, with every section of
the country falling below the figures
for 194l.
An Associated Press survey of 80

Greatest Decrease on Coast.
While bad weather came in for its
share of the blame. along with vart-
Gus other things, all sections placed
most of the responsibility for the
decline on the war.
The largest sectional drop was on
the Pacific Coast, the only region
to show a decline last year. At
tendance was off 30 per cent from
l941, with 1.542,451 customers at
tending so games last year and
1090,6 attending 49 this season.
The only Far Western teams to
show an increase were oregon State
and st. Mary's.
The smallest decrease came in the
Midwest, where wealth of strong
teams kept the fans clicking the
turnstiles. MidWestern teams played
LOT games before 2,146,826 persons,
while the same clubs operated in 81
games in 1941, witnessed by 2,3l9,-
088, making a decrease this year OF

Individual increases were chalked
up by Ohio State. Wisconsin, Iowa,
Illinois and Purdue OF the Big Ten
and such other Midwestern teams as
Tulsa, Marquette and Notre Dame.
East Is Off % Per Cent.
In the East 81 major teams noted
decline of % per cent, playing

The Southwest Conference was
off 81 per cent. with every team
except Texas showing loss. The
seven teams had home attend
ance of 345 ,429 in 80 home games

However, the directors had decided
previously that the league would ad-
vance no more money to Nugent,
who was loaned upward of 100000
last year, and that if he were not
able to show sufficient capital to
start the season the franchise
would either be sold or operated by
the league.
This was where Terry fitted into
the picture The severance of his
relations with the Giants was de-

it was learned today. Terry, re-

he did not believe he could earn his
salary as farm director for New

may have no more than two or
three minor league afflliates.
