Ahrens Among Early
Victims as BIueee

The most vulnerable portion OF
the armor Washington will carry
into the American League battle this
season will be tested starting to-
morrow when the Mats embark on
an exhibition schedule of II games
in Is days-a slate that should dis
close to Manager Ossie Bluege what
sort of pitching he may expect this
year.
Against the crack Norfolk Naval
Training Station team tomorrow at
Norfolk Bluege will send three of
his more highly regarded hurlers
in Dutch Leonard, Mickey Haefner
and Milo Candini-all tentatively
tabled as starting pitchers but each
carrying question mark.
Leonard will be hoping to bounce
back as one of the leagues more
accomplished pitchers after suffer-
ing a broken leg and severely
sprained ankle early last season,
while Candini, plagued with a sore
arm last year, will put his ailing arm
to its first severe test.
Dig lcSC 1Of Haefner.
Haefner, a big winner in the Amer
ican Association, will indicate
whether he can move up a notch
and be as effective. A 5-foot 7-inch
southpaw, Mickey figures heavily in
the pitching pattern of the Mats.
Bluege will pit his best pitchers
against the Training Station, which
presents such former major league
performers as Phil Rizzuto, Dom
DiMaggio, Don Padgett and Jimmy
Gleason. On Friday he'll operate
with Early Wynn. Alex Carrasquel
and Ewald Pyle on the mound and
on Saturday. in the finale of the
3-game series, he'll employ Owen
Scheetz, Jim Mertz and John
Bunnell.
Ossie now is beginning to separate
the raw specimens who have been
cluttering up the University of
Maryland field from the more tai
ented characters. Dick Ahrens, g.
foot 10-inch right-hander, is being
shipped to Utica, NJ Y. where Man.
ager Wally Schang will attempt to
teach him to pitch, and others soon
will be clipped from the squad.
Ten Hurlers Assured Jobs.
Ten pitchers virtually certain of
sticking are Leonard, Carrasquel,
Candini, Haefner. Mertz, Pyle,
Scheetz, Wynn. Rae Scarborough
and Dewey Adkins. Bunneu, 18-
year-old right-hander with no pre-
vious professional experience, will be
sent to Chattanooga unless he dis
plays something sensational and
such performers as Earl Jennings,
Ray Beach, Chester Foreman and
Warren Reid figure to be shaved
from the squad.
After three games with the Train
ing Station the Mats will play 2
game series with Norfolk Naval Air
Base, then return to College Park
for an off day on Tuesday before
plunging into schedule that calls
for II games In as many days, with
Georgetown an AIDED starter on April
8.
The Mats will face Baltimore,
Syracuse and Newark among minor
league teams and their major lea
que opposition will be the Athletics,
PhillieS and Giants.
Coach Clyde Milan was the first
casualty of the Mats training camp
yesterday when a line drive off the

II institutions, continued Wieman.
When the program is developed
several hundred institutions will be
involved. Whenever possible we will
utilize the coaching personnel at
these schools, but in instances where
personnel is not available the pro-
gram will be administered by the
commanding Army officer.
1T is important that when we re-
turn these men to the Army for more
arduous assignments that they be
physically fit and that is why I'm in
Washington. War has restored i'm
portance to the body-men must
learn to keep going when they're
tired, must learn they're able to get
up after they're knocked down and
must develop an aggressive spirit.
Our program calls for aquatics,
combatives, gymnastics and obstacle
races and team sports. In aquatics
we will stress endurance rather than
speed. A man must leave us able
to stay af1oat from three to five
hours, to swim under water for at
least 60 feet, to jump-not dive
from elevated towers, to swim with
clothes on. Well teach life-saving
and artificial respiration.
Football Will Be Modified
Under the heading of COM
batives will be included boxing,
wrestling and judo. Gymnastics
and obstacle races will be included
to develop the upper part of the
body, while the object of team sports
will be to develop aggressive spirit
and the will to win.
The program will include all
sports that facilities permit, but
emphasis will be placed on those
sports that afford an opportunity
for mass participation. We will have
modified football, for instance, since
that doesn't require much equip
ment."
Mr. Wieman didn't leave the lis
teners holding their sides, but he
put over the point that criticism of
the Army for refusal to permit SOL
diers to participate on college teams
is unjustified When the Army de-
mands SO hours week a soldier has
little time for extra -curricula &C
tivities.

ockle Tells the Truth

Tad's lone laugh-getter was when
he told of addressing the Princeton
tacklers while serving as line coach
there under Fritz Crisler. Il was
explaining to the tackles the i'm
portance of defensive tackle play
that the majority of football plays
are directed at the tackles and
therefore games were likely to be
lost there unless defensive tackle
play was good" informed Wieman.
II noticed one of our tackles over

said. Where did I saw most games
are lost, Joe?' One IT his team
mates nudged him and Joe came out
of it. What did you say, coach?'
he asked, SO I said again, Where
did I say most games are lost?'
"'Oh, that's easy, COACH he an
swered, They're lost right here at
Princeton"
That was Wieman's only effort to
be amusing. He plunged into an
explanation of what the Army plans
to do with the 10000 technicians.
