.LANIER TO GET.
SECOND SHOT AT
YANKS SUNDAY
BY LEO H. PETERSEN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
st. Louis, oct. e.--(UP) Manager
Billy Southworth summoned his st.
Louis Cardinals to Sportman's Park
today for a secret drill to smooth
out the fielding lapses which cost
the Red Birds two of the first
three World Series games at YAM
kee Stadium.
II want to be alone with my
boys" Southworth said. II want
to help them loosen up - and don't
get the idea we're licked.
Confident that his speedboys
would snap out Of their lethargy, he
nominated Max Lanier, chunky left
handler, victim Of his own misplays
in the opening game, to try to
bring the Cardinals back even in
the fourth contest Sunday.
Lanier developed a slight fever
late last night which was diagnosed
by the clubs physician as a slight
case Of influenza, but Southworth
was hopeful that he would recover
sufficiently by Sunday. Should he
fail to respond to treatment the
Cardinal skipper probably would
switch to Morton Cooper, winner
Of the second game.
Manager Joe Mccarthy planned
to send Marius Russo, also q port
slider, to the firing line for the New
York Yankees, but said there was
possibility he would switch to
Spurgeon Chandler, the sinker-ball

Russo, regarded as one of the best
left handlers in the game two years
ago, has been bothered by arm
trouble but the Yankee skipper
tried him in two league games
late in the season and Russo in
dicated he was In shape. If Russo
says his arm Is okay following a
scheduled workout at the park this
afternoon, Mccarthy will go with
him.

A crowd Of 1000 greeted the Car
dinals when they arrived, along with
the Yankees, last night at 9:15 p.

team twas far from licked" and the
boys would prove 1t Sunday.
The players were conducted
through the throng by uniformed
policemen and escorted to their
homes and hotels.
Southworth said he wasn't con-
cerned over whom Mccarthy will
start.
"I'll stick to my same lineup" he
said. ut was good enough to win
LOG games in the National league
and It's good enough to beat the
Yankees.
1.-THE change Of scenery will help
my boys. They aren't licked by
any means. They were tight in those
three games at New York. It was
Just the opposite last year. Then
the Yankees were tight and we were
the boys who were doing the hell
for-leather running and fielding.
Don't sell us short. We're COM
ing through again."
He expressed satisfaction with the
Cards pitching and pointed out that
with errorless fielding they would
be sitting in the catbird seat and
not the Yankees. For Lanier him

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Dec. IL
Postwar athletic planning engaged
the fancy Of Southeastern Confer
ence college presidents today-but
midwar football operations held the
immediate attention Of its practical
head coaches.
The presidents headed home from
the 18th annual meeting to medi-
tate on suggestions that postwar
physical education be patterned
after the Navys prefight school
program, and that postwar football
be severely de-emphasized. The first
thought was advanced by John l..
Griffith, athletic commissioner Of
the Western Conference. in an ad-
dress last night. The second was the
recommendation of retiring Confer
ence President Rufus c. Harris OF
Tulane. who urged adoption OF "a
sane, reasonable basis for 1ntercol-
legiate athletics"
Coaches, however, found more i'm
mediate interest in conference ac-
ton yesterday which nberal1zed
eligibility rules to permit competi-
ton by any bona fide students. Spe-
ciflcally, the federation withdrew its
bar to civilian transfer students,
voting, 8-4, to permit such men to
play. Proponents OF the measure,
including Alabama. Georgia and
Louisiana State University. main
tanned that it would influence re-
sumption Of football by several In
stitutions which previously sus-
pended it for the duration.
Alabama Would Resume Play.
Coach Frank Thomas Of Alabama
said he hoped 1t would be possible
for the Crimson Tide to resume play
with subdraft-age freshmen, and
Coach John Barnhill said he in
tended to discuss similar plan with
faculty representatives at Tennessee.
Kentucky and Auburn expressed in
terest, but were noncommittal. Mis-
sissippi State and Mississippi pres
emily are barred from competition
by their State Board Of Control and
Florida has no plans Tor early re-
turn to competition.
-Four teams played this season.
Georgia and Louisiana State with
civilian freshmen and ATS and Tu-
lane and Georgia Tech with Navy
Via talent.

the conference would continue to
