a return by major league clubs
To training bases in the deep
south and the far west.
Before the 1943 season closed
a representative of southern cities
where major league teams for
merly trained had conferred with
National and American League
club owners and reached tenta-
tive agreements with some for
their return.
One Of the strong arguments
for the return to the southern
bases was that the clubs could
entertain soldiers and sailors in
training in the section.
Training in the north was gen.
orally unsatisfactory to major
league owners because they felt
il robbed them of the "ballyhoo"
that creased the turnstiles for
the first month of the campaign
Several clubs acquired college
or university field houses for
their training activities, but since
last spring the army or navy
have taken over the bulk of these
facilities.

Work for Days .
Before BigGane
BY EDGAR HAYES

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 2l-Once
again its the eve Of a big game
al Ann Arbor. Minnesota, winner
of nne in a row over the VOL
NerineS. will be here Saturday TO
face "A better than average Michi-
gan team.
While the school term hasn't
started. the football spirit is in
the air around the town and the
campus
Ann Arbor never loses its head
over a football game. In Columbus,
where the Buckeyes of Ohio State
play, everything stops the week
Of a game.
The big difference is found
among the coaching staff.
In the little room over coach
Crisler's office, they assemble
right after breakfast. There are
CriSler. Clarence Mum. Earl
Martineau and Benny OoSterbaan.
STUDY REPORTS
First they 60 over the papers
TO see what is reported from the
Minneapolis battle front. Some
writer might drop a hint of what's
happening on the practice field.
They usually note any report
about injuries or changes in per-
sonnet.
Biggie Mum sets up the motion
picture protector and takes out
The films of all the Michigan
Minnesota games of the last few
years and his notebooks that
have all the dope about these
games.
During the off-season, Biggie
takes these pictures apart and
diagrams. all the plays; the de-
lenses the Gophers used against
Michigan and the amount of sue
cess they had; the offense Michi-
gan used and the defensive
maneuvers that stopped them.
With all these in front of them
the coaches look into the scouting
reports they have of the Mime
sofa games. They were allowed
only one scout this year and could
cover only three games.
REFER TO MOVIES
When they are in doubt about
some play or formation, Biggie
refers to his notes and then they
run the movies. Time after time
they'll rerun some play to get all
the details Strengthened out.
This keeps them busy until
lunch time. The afternoon session
is devoted TO planning the days
practice.
They have the team on the
field for about 90 minutes every
day. With their heavy scholastic
program, the boys aren't able TO
spend as much time as they would
like with the club.
After dinner, usually taken to-
gether so they can discuss the
days practice, the coaches repair
again to their conference room to
burn the midnight oil. They con-
Germ themselves with offensive
plays. They figure ways TO iron
out the bugs that turned up in
the days drill.
1t goes on day after day as the
coaches prepare for the big game.
That's how you know Michigan
will be ready for the powerful
Gophers. That's why so many
folks are going out 10 see the
contest
Andrew Baker, the man in
charge Of the tickets, reports an
excellent sale, but says there will
be tickets available right up 10
game time. 2:30.

Pick Cooley Over Western in Prep Feature
Six Unbeaten
Teams TO Risk
Clean States
BY JAKE BERsoN

Six schools are unbeaten In the
Metropolitan League football race
and all except one will be favored
to retain their clean states in this
week-en6's prep contests.
The lo%e indicated underdog
will be Western High, scheduled
TO face Cooley, likewise unbeaten,
at Cooley Field in the feature OF
seven Metro games tomorrow
afternoon. u. of d. High. tied with
Cooley and Western for the top
on the west side. engages Chadsey
at Southwestern Field In one OF
the two contests listed for Sat-
urday.
The three pacemakers on the
east side, Hamtramck, Pershing
and DENLY, should continue side
by side If past performances mean
anything. II m m k tackles
Eastern at Mack Park; South
eastern Is at DENLY and North-
eastern at Pershing.
Incidentally Hamtramck and
Pershing are not scheduled TO
meet this season.
TOO MUCH POWER
Cooley's Cardinals appear to
have too much scoring power and
manpower for Western, though
the Cowboys have not been scored
on in two games.
Westerns best effort TO date
was its TO victory over BEDFORD,
and last week IL easily doWned
Wilbur Wright, 24-0.
Cooleys league victories were
impressive. the Cardinals swamp
ing Mackenzie, $50, and North
western, 32-12.
Hamtramck's offense, which bal
rolled up 81 points in two gameSD
doesn't figure TO be stopped by
Eastern, which has dropped both
starts.
Pershing, riding high after wall
Looping Southeastern, 400, last
week. has overconfidence more
than anything else to fear against
Northeastern, while DENLY may
find Southeastern troublesome de-
spite the Jungaleers' sad showing
against Pershing.
OTHER GAMES
In other games tomorrow. Gen.
trail is at Southwestern; Macken-
zie at Wilbur Wright and
Northern at Highland Park.
u. of y. High holds big edge
over twice-beaten Chadsey. while
BEDFORD is at Northwestern in an

foreign affairs. Mr.. Litvinoff and
his wife were not among the 200 So
Wet officials who were selected to
live in the Kremlin.
Retired Once Before.
When Premier Stain decided to
throw his lot in with the Axis in
1899, the pro-League of Nations. pro-
French and pro-British Mr. Litvinoff
went into retirement. He lead such
a quiet life that old friends in the
foreign colony who liked him and
his charming English-b wife were
seldom able to catch a glimpse of
them.
In 1941 soon after Russia was at
tackled by Nazi Germany, Stain
fished Mr.. Litvinoff out of obscurity
for his diplomatic talents have never
been questioned, and sent him to
Washington to inaugurate new
era in Soviet-American diplomatic
relations. Mr.. Litvinoff had been
here already in 1888 and had made
an excellent impression on WASH
ington officialdom.
Postwar problems loom larger as
Russia's armies advance and Allied
victory draws nearer It Is possible
that Mr.. Litvinoff's background of
nternationalism-h was one of the
strongest supporters of the League
of Nations system of collective
security-makes him ill-suited to
represent Moscow's views of to-
morrow.

LitvinoH May Be Recalled
To Moscow, Relieved of Post
Believed Out of Step
With Soviet PIuns
For Postwar Setup
By HELEN LOMBARD.

There are indications that Soviet
Ambassador Maxim Litvinoff will re-
turn to Moscow soon for consulta-
tions, and some well-informed quar-
ters here doubt that the LitvinoffS
will come back to their Washington
post.
The Soviet Ambassadors task in
Washington has become more COM
plicated of late. When leaSe-lend
aid to Russia was the main issue
in Soviet American relations, Mr..
Litvinoff knew exactly where he
stood. He talked plainly to officials
here about the slowness with which
the ordered war materials and food
stuf1s were arriving in Russia.
His contacts were eXcellent-bet-
ter than those of most ENJOYS and
far outreaching the usual diplomatic
routine connections. Mr.. Litvinoff
became a close personal friend of
Vice President Wallace and Lease
Lend Expediter Harry Hopkins, as
we'll = as Secretary of Commerce
Jones and others prominent in
Washington.
Becomes Reticent.
Of late, however, the question of
the postwar organization of the
world has come strongly to the fore
in the United States and the Soviet
diplomat has shown signs of being
somewhat at sea, or of being unable
to express Moscow's attitudes. At
recent gathing when Mr.. Litvinoff
was asked question about Russia's
table plans he answered with
the cryptic phrase: I'VE shall be
there!"
During the past two months he
has become reticent and retiring
an almost infallible sign that Rus
sian diplomat has lost contact with
the Kremlin.
Mr.. Litvinoff's attitude, coupled
with some indications from Mos
cow that he is about to be ordered
home for consultation" have led
to the belief that his usefulness may
have ended as far as Premier Stain
is concerned, and that he may be on
his way out.
The present Russian Ambassador
has never been very much in favor
with his Premier. He was too inter-
nationally minded for the taste of
the pationalistic head of the Soviet
Republics. 1t is noteworthy that
even while he was commissar OF

They are the Fantasque and the

New Finnish Cabinet
Expected by March !

HELSINKI, Feb. % (P).-A new
Finnish cabinet is expected to be
formed by March l, and the foreign
and interior ministries almost GER
tainly will be filled by new heads,
the newspaper of Finlands domi-
nant Social Democratic party said
last night.
President Ryti is carrying on lively
conversations with the various polit-
lcal parties, and Premier Jukha
Rangell was said to have expressed
a wish to retire to private life.
The cabinet resigned collectively
following Ryti's reelection in order
to allow him to form a new one.
The foreign ministry post has been
held by Rolf Whiting, and the inte-
rior department portfolio by Ernst
Won Born.
Speculation on possible successors
to these two men remains pure
guesswork, the Finnish press said.

Argonout
Continued From First Page

lOlll
Argonaut was very rapid. Another
American submarine, two hours
later, closer to Rabaul, made an
attack which was a masterpiece
it found the convoy heavily rein
forced with six destroyers and air
escort. The Japs must have highly
priced it to have such protection for
three ships were returning to their
base from an advanced New Guinea
base.
The attacking submarine pene-
trated the destroyer screen and sank
the two biggest ships of the convoy"
Comdr. Huffman said the aveng
ing submarine apparently did not
know the fate of the Argonaut.
The Argonaut's commanding off,
Ger was 1t Comdr John Reeves
Pierce. The executive officer was
R. w. Robertson of Portsmouth,
N. H., and a survivor of the sub
marine Squalus which sank off
Portsmouth in May, 1899. with loss
of 26 lives
Sixth Announced as Lost.
The Argonaut, sixth American
submarine announced as lost in this
war and the fourth lost by combat
operations in the Pacific, originally
was submarine mine layer, but
later was fitted with new engines to
give it the high speed of fleet sub
marines. The submersible was on
patrol duty in the Pacific when the
war started and since then had car
ried out notable operations which
remain official secrets.
Published records gave the Argo-
naut the distinction of being the
largest submarine in the world. It
was 38l feet long and carried six
torpedo tubes and two 6-inch guns.
With the Argonaut lost, America s
largest submarines are the Narwhal
and the Nautilus, built about the
same time as the Argonaut but Of
slightly less tonnage.
