Nearly 200 Colleges
Suspend Football
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 16.-With the
East and South topping the list,
close to 200 colleges, large and small,
have abandoned football for the
duration.
A Nation wide survey by the Asso-
ciated Press mas diclosed that 1911
institutions of higher learning have
felt the drain of manpower and
transportation problems to such an
extent that they will not attempt to
play the game until after the war.
The list is expected to be increased
considerably by the time September
rolls along for many schools indi-
Gated they planned to play but
actually didn't know what the situa-
ton would be until the fall term
starts. Others said they were hold
ing on with the hope that the Army
would change its decision regarding
participation of soldiers.
The survey showed So schools had
dropped the sport in the East, 49
in the South, "a in the Southwest,
26 in the Midwest, 10 in the Rocky
Mountain area and 9 on the West
Coast. The latter does not include
California's many junior colleges,
practically all of which will not field
teams this fall.

F|ashy Mite by Haegg
Likely Against Dodds
BY the Associated Press,

SAN FRANCISCO. July 49,
Gunder Haegg, the Swedish speed
ster, will round four laps at Kezar
Stadium tomorrow in the first effort
of his American tour to set world
record for ! mile.
Haegg hasn't had to hustle in his
previous longer American races; not
one of his challengers could ap-
proach him.
But tomorrow he will be up
against Gil Dodds in what is re-
garded as the latter's specially. The
Boston divinity student trailed
Haegg in their 2-mile contests at
Chicago and Los Angeles, but he
has chalked up a 4:08.5 for the in
door mile and is widely considered
to be the top American miller of the
day.
John .. Fulton of Stanford Uni
versity is looked upon as another
entraut who might push Haegg
And Arne Anderson only recently

Associated Press Sports Writer.

The buns rush Is on in Brooklyn
for fair and this time the heave-ho is
about to go to Joseph Michael
(Muscles) Medwick, the once cele-
brated outfielder whose usefulness
to the Dodgers, like that of Louis
Norman (Bobo) NeWsom, apparently
has come to an end.
When the ball club left New York
last night for three-week trip
away from the stormy scene of in
surrection at Ebbets Field, Medwick
was left at home.
Having moved to wipe out the
rebellion against Manager Leo Du-
rocher by trading Newsom to the
st. Louis Browns for two antiquated
pitchers, Fritz Ostermueller and
Archie McKain, Hickey has 26
players on his roster, one over the
limit, and was compelled to get rid
Of another man.
His choice of Medwick was con-
nected only indirectly with the re-
bellion. Hickey had been trying to
dispose of him ever since becom-
ing president of the Dodgers last
November. He didn't like the tenn
permanent of the famous slugger,
who never had batted less than 300
in IL seasons with the st. Louis
Cardinals and Brooklyn and who
had been the National Leagues bat
ting champion and most valuable
player in 1887.
Medwick's Value Reduced.
Although he has come down a
long way from his original asking
price, Rickey's chances of making a
deal for Medwick have faded with
the players performance this year
At present his batting average is
.272 and he hasn't made hit longer
than a double.
Under baseball rules the Dodgers
do not have to shave their roster
until their acquisitions in the New
som deal report. This provided
Hickey with an opportunity to make

one final effort at trading Medwick
before 1t would be necessary simply
to cut him loose with an outright
release.
In any case the Buns hit the
headlines again at the same time
they hit the road and their antics
continued to provide smoke screen
over the activities of other clubs,
most of whom resumed play yester-
day after the All-Star game layoff.
The Dodgers, while idle, even
gained half a game on the Cardi-
mails, who were whipped, 4-3, at
Pittsburgh last night as Maurice
Van Robays, just returned from a
minor league whirl at Toronto, col
lected double and two singles to

The Chicago Cubs punched five

eighth to crush the Cincinnati Reds,

In the American League, Orval
Grove attained his eighth triumph
without defeat by pitching five-hit
ball as the Chicago White Sox
downed the Detroit Tigers, IA.
The st. Louis Browns stopped the
Cleveland Indians, al, in the only
game played in daylight. A home
run by Vernon Stephens, his 18th,
accounted for both Brownie runs
