CHICAGO. Jan. 10 Op).-The Ma
tional Football League looks forward
confidently to the 1943 season. Con-
tinuing operations will involve OBJ
stacles. but the growing importance
of football amounts almost to a
mandate that these obstacles be
overcome. The outlook Is challeng-
ing. And the National League &C
cepts the challenge.
The 1912 season, despite the loss
of 311 players, coaches, owners and
club officials to the armed service,
developed competition as keen as
that of any season in the leagues
history. There is no reason to be-
lieve that competition will be any
thing but more keen in subsequent
championship races, although there
may not be as many great name
players Immediately available.
National League attendance held
up remarkably well, indicating once
again that football fans go first for
the competition and secondly to
watch individuals. 1t Is this fact
which indicates the leagues opera
tons next fall will terminate sue
cessfully.
Foolish to Drop Game.
While it is foolhardy to presume
that sports, or any other business,
can operate on business as usual"
policy in these war times, 1t is even
more foolhardy to consider curtail-
ment or abandonment of football.
The first year of the war has
established football as one of the
most important games in world
sports. Since Pearl Harbor, the pub
lie has come to realize that football
has many attributes which far
transcend the purely entertainment
values Of the sport.

Majors 70 Urge
Late Reporting,
Once a Crime
Men Living in Sunny
Spots to Benefit by
Delaying Trip North
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Holdouts
may go out of fashion In baseball
this year, but just as rose by any
other name is, etc, a lot of the
major league stars will be sure to
be late at spring training camps
1t Is going to be a wacky season
from start to finish, and one of the
strange slants is that managers
not only will condone training tar
diness for some of their players,
they will recommend it,
This is because many ball PLAYERS
make their winter homes in sunny
chimes, particularly Florida and
California, and can get in shape
better at home than by Fastening
to Northern training camps.
Paul Waner Is No. / Example.
Paul Waner. veteran outfielder of
the Boston Braves, is in this class.
in fact he probably will be at the
head of the class.
Big Poison. who will be 40 April
is, lives at Sarasota. Fla, and it
would take convoy to get him to
Wallingford, Conn, the Braves
training base, in the middle of
March.
Even in his younger days, when
he was the prima donna of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, Waner was re-
luctant to leave his Florida home
for training in Southern California.
This was nearly as much of a fac
tor in his frequent holdouts as
disagreement over salary. Waner
may work with John Cooney Al
year-old teammate, who also lives
at Sarasota
Paul Derringer, 36-year-old dean
Of the Cincinnati Reds pitchers, is
another member of Sarasotas base
ball colony and a likely late ar
rival when the Reds begin work
at Bloomington, Ind.
Dickey Never In Hurry.
Bill Dickey, catcher for the New
York Yankees, lives at Little Rock
Ark, and in recent years has been
in no hurry to get to Florida, so
obviously isn't going to lead the
way into Asbury Park this spring.
Manager Joe Mccarthy will not
object because he never uses the
veteran in early workouts.
It's cinch that Carl Hubbell
can take his own time leaving his
home at Oklahoma City to join the
New York Giants at Lakewood,
N. j., too.
However, this reasoning won't
apply to every old timer who hap
pens to live south of the Mason
and Dixon line. The managers will
want to see for themselves that
some prominent players actually are
working to get into shape.
Louis (Bobo) Newsom, the squire
of Huntsville. S. c., is one of these.
Branch Hickey, president of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, has been con-
sidering ways of getting Newsom to
begin training early, but all of his
plans call for having a coach on
the spot to supervise the show.

Outdoors
With BILL ACKERMAk

Outdoors writer's, through con-
slant plugging, have in the past
dozen years taught recreational fish,
ermen that unwanted fish should
be returned to the water so they
may grow and provide sport at some
later date. Fish For Fun" has be-
come a national slogan.
Now we are asked to fish for
food by Charles E. Jackson, assist
ant co-ordinator of fisheries. He
believes the drop of more than a
billion pounds of fisheries products
in 1912 may be made up partly by
cooperation of recreational fisher
men in 1943.
This means fishing writer's must
about face. Instead of urging con-
servation. they must go all out in
asking fishermen to fish not for fun
but for much needed food. Fisher
men everywhere will do their part.
1t will mean cooperation with
commercial interests so that waste
may be avoided. All too often rec
reational anglers bring home large
quantities of fine edible fish to be
distributed among friends, who, I'M
able to use them as food, toss them
away.
At meeting Of Washington
writer's with officials of the Out
door Writers of America, many ideas
on how recreational fishermen could
cooperate with market fishermen
were advanced. Many were i'm
practicable, but some perhaps had
worth. A plan doubtless will be
found before long.

games Brewer has made IL of %

To Freeze Victory

Georgetowns fancy basket ball
team, which hitherto has discovered
its best defense embodied in An
amazing offense, today was likely to
be instructed by Coach Elmer Ripley
in the fine art of freezing and
guarding foes more tenaciously.
With one exception in 10 previous
games the Hoyas produced enough
punch to Offset any high-scoring
tendencies by their opponents but
following that 52-51 defeat by Tenn

Kostecka Setting Fast Pace.
That Georgetown offense is purr-
ing is Illustrated by the fact that
Andy Kostecka is threatening to
create District area scoring record.
He has registered ITO points in IL
games-topping the pace of Mary
lands Ernie Travis when he set the
scoring mark with 327 points in %
games last season--and only Is
points behind is the Hoyas' huge
center, John Mahnken.
Danny Kraus, the Hoyas' polished
ball handler, can locate those cords.
too. Danny is averaging better than
10 points a game, but even with that
terrific trio Georgetown has dropped
two of its last three games because
its defense has crumbled.
With less than 80 seconds re-
naming Georgetown owned a 1916
lead against Temple, which CAPT.
talized on the Hoyas' jittery play at
that point to grasp a 50-49 lead.
Mahnken sent the Hoyas ahead at
51-50 but Temples Jack McLaugh-
lin slipped loose in midcourt for the
winning with 10 seconds Remaining.
1000 Fans Are Thrilled.
Some 1000 spectators saw one of

as the grinning Greek lad from
