Durocher, Now in IA,
Awaits Army Call
Comilli as Dodeer Pilot
Visioned in Rumors
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Leo Du-
rocher has been shifted to Ia on
the selective service rolls and Dolph
Camilli has been made Al on the
rumor rolls as his successor as man.
ager of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Durocher's Brooklyn draft board
moved from ga after receipt of
word from the st. Louis physicians
that the habbling brook boss had
passed his physical examination
there 10 days ago.
"All they have to do is call me and
I'm ready to CO." the baseball orator
told reporters at Palm Beach, Fla,
where he is spending brief vaca-
ton. He will be SO in July.
Although the selective service
board which announced the new
status gave no indication when Du-
rocher might be called, other pros
pective draftees who took their
exams week before Durocher were
told they probably would be included
in the March quota.
The announcement came only So
hours before Hickey was to leave on
a trip to California, during which
he hopes to persuade Camilli not to
give up baseball.
One of the wedges Hickey may use
to break down Camillis resistance
to Dodger contract will be the
prospect of replacing Durocher if
and when the fiery manager of the
last four years is drafted.

There can be no favorite for the
public high school basket ball cham
pionships this Friday and Saturday
with Coolidge finally rising from the
dark horse status it has held all

the balance among the four COM

even now.
Coolidge on Top All Way.
From the start Coolidge was in
command yesterday. The Colts
romped to 80 edge in the first
period with George Bartlett setting
the pace. The second period was a
bit slower but the Colts still had a

the total. Windy Van Duesen and
Bill Tanney were the only Tigers to
register from the floor during the
first half.
