 New York, June 4.-Lloyd Brazil of the University of Detroit passes along a splendid plan for college coaches, baseball clubs and man agers of fighters.
 With more than 50 former De- troit athletes keeping up a steady stream of correspondence from units of the armed forces through out the world, Athletic Director Brazil has one Of the most effective scout systems extant.
 Brazil's mail is packed with the kind of information heads of ath- letic departments and baseball clubs and managers of fighters would give their last gas stamp to obtain.
 What makes these letters valu- able is that they give an accurate line on good athletes on service teams, many of whom were stars in high school. A Sizable share of these participants sooner or later will be seeking out a college Nat urally, these are the boys in whom Brazil is interested, and his scouts are doing their utmost to send them to U. of D.
 The same opportunity is there for the baseball clubs and managers of fighters.
 Ensign Bob Calihan, All-America basketball center of 1939 who is sta toned at submarine base, has been Brazils most prolific cor respondent.
 T am coaching athletics at this station" writes Ensign Calihan. "If the war were to end tomorrow, Braz, would send you very fine basketball player. He is IS years old, smart and lot like Larry Bleach Detroit ace of '36). Maybe he'll be seeing you when it's all over"
 Although they were headed for the service, George Preston Mar shall gave bonuses for signing to college football stando0ts who would it into his professional football champions, the Washington Red skins. This helped the boys. and Owner Marshall is looking ahead
 There is promising heavyweight fistic prospect at the Marine Corps base in San Diego.
 The top athletes are playing for Uncle Sam. They'll be even more formidable when the war is won. Thousands of others have been or are being developed while working

AAU Worried About Swedish Runner

New York, June 4-(UPJ-Gunder Hagg's acceptance of an invitation to compete in the National A. A. U. championships here June 19 and 20 binds the Swedish track star to appear in that meet, secretary Dan Ferris of the National A. A. U. said today.
 He announced reports from Stockholm that Hagg would not compete until July because he was not in trim.
 Regulations of the A. A. U., which coincide with those of the interna- tional federation, make it impoSsi- ble for Hagg to avoid running in the A. A. U. carnival because of his acceptance of the invitation ten- dered by the amateur organization, Ferris said.
 Defeat would detract nothing from Haggs prestige, Ferris said, since the public would be fully aware of the training handicap Hagg is due to arrive some time next week aboard a tanker.

.SCOVILL ENTRY TN CITY LEAGUE
 PLANS SURPRISE.
Krafters Face MiddIebury Nartenis; Washington
 Hills vs Naugatuck

Watch Scovill's is the war cry that resounded through the mile long defense plant today as the rumors began flying thick and fast to the fact that Howie Kraft's s. E. R. A. aggregation which is tied for third place with Middlebury, may be the next club to spring a surprise on the fans ana produce real pennant contender within the next two weeks.
 Were not out of it by a long shot" said s. E. R. A. president Ed McGrath last night following long conference with HoWie Kraft, the team pilot, as the strategy for Sun days big game with Pete NakteniS and the Middlebury Club was be- ing planned. For the past several weeks it has been a well-known fact that the ScoviH teams rather shaky structure was in the course of alterations and that it would not be long before the Kraftmen be- came real pennant-contender. Not Scared
 The fact that they are facing the sensational MT. Naktenis Sunday in the o'clock game on No. field doesn't seem to phase the Scovill outfit the least bit. We can give them just as much bother as Naug- atuck did' boasted Manager Kraft last night, "and that's just what we intend to do." Furthermore" added the cagey Kraft, ''our lads play smarter ball than Naugatuck does, and that alone will be to our ad- vantage Sunday"
 Scovills have won two and lost two thus far, the defense workers having the misfortune to be the first club to meet Hal Smullen on opening day and two weeks later ran afoul of Bill McCormacks no thing ball' as the boys have so aptly tabbed the Hill pitchers offer ings. The Scevill victories have been over the Aviglianese with Ted Grabeck and more recently Johnny Towards Sacred Hearts.
 It is the consensus of the fans that ScoVill's has been a disappoint- ment thus far because they haven't produced a powerhouse ball club. True, the Kraftmen are short on hitting strength but this little mat | ter is due to be taken care of this weekend. "Then watch our smoke" say Felix Longo, the Scovill cap- tain.
 Howard Hopes For Hits For manager whose team is WalloWing in the depths of the eel lar without a taste of victory in four weeks of play, Johnny Howard of the Sacred Hearts takes the cake" We've been giving them all good battles" says Howard, but I guess those pitchers are just too classy this season."
 The Hearts almost beat the Hills opening day but were finally sub dued to 2. Naugatuck whipped the Howard Hopefuls to 2 and George Frask used the Hearts as a trial horse for Pete Naktenis who shut them out and struck out 12 bats men. The closest that they came to victory otherwise was to 1 set back by Scovill's.
 Sunday afternoon the Hearts square off with Tony Romaniello's Aviglianese in the opening act of the big 20th anniversary birthday program and Manager Howard pre- diets that "this is where we come in." In other words, it's supposed to be the Hearts first triumph. Of course, Teddy Grabeck, the Avigs' 1 hurler may have something to SAY
