Fear Of Pros BROUGHT
Colleges 0pen-Game
Plea, Says Bingham
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, Dec. 19.-Critics of
Harvard's Bill Bingham for his
stand against any change in foot
ball rules for the duration had
their answer today-they are
afraid of the pros"
1t was the first retort by Bing-
ham, now a full colonel on duty at
1st Service Command headquarters,
to those who have been criticizing
the Rules Committee for failure to
modify some rules by which Amer
ica's great fall pastime is played.
When college football was wide
open, as it was when I first was a
member of the Rules Committee in
1881, there were 80 deaths due to
injuries" declared the chairman of
the intercollegiate Football Rules
Committee.
Rules Protect Youngsters.
From 1910 through 1914, while
the present rules were in effect,
there was just one death in college
football"
Bingham told a sports writer's
dinner, Many colleges are afraid
of professional football. I'm not
and the colleges shouldn't be.
People should be more reason
able in comparing college football
with the pro game College athletes
range in age from II to 81. Most
OF them are INEXPERIENCED
The pros all are over 81 and
know how to play the game"
He emphasized that he opposed
the running of fumbles by the de-
fensive team. I think it is a cheap
way to win ball games" he asserted.
Not Against Trying Changes.
He declared that he was not set
against allowing forward passes from
anywhere behind the line of scrim-
mage, nor was he against a revision
making mandatory kickoff within
bounds.
He added that he had favored
colleges trying out the latter two
proposals in informal games. al
though his committee had voted,
to 2. to freeze rules for the du-
ration"
Bingham also told the writers
that the presidents agreement" :"
by which Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton football is governed, should be
thrown into the Charles River"
Il look forward to the formation
Of an ivy league he said Above
all, hope We can get away from
hypocrisy. If any college league
or association is to thrive it must
be built on mutual trust and conf
dence.
The worst feature Of college foot
among the rival teams"

MONTREAL, Dec. 19.-Montreal's
veteran Toe Blake has climbed into
the leadership among National
Hockey League point getters. OFF,
cial figures today showed him out
ahead of Boston's Bill Cowley by a
single point, 33 to 80.
Two goals and two assists as Ca
nadiens defeated Boston, 8-5, at
Montreal Saturday shot Blake up
into tie with the former leader,
and another point Sunday night at
New York put him in front.
Blake's points were made up of Is
goals and 18 assists, while Cowley
was right behind with II goals and
81 assists. Blake's linemates, Elmer
Lach and Maurice Richard, held
down third and fourth places, re-
spectively, with 26 and Is points.

satisfying results.
1t. Sokol, who played baseball for
George Washington, where he was
graduated in 1943, has done more
than his share of the slugging for
his units team.
In the opening game he connected
for two doubles, driving in four runs
as his mates won, to 3. In that
game he also made a sensational
running catch, preventing at least
three runs.
In another game, won by his unit,
5 to 4, he drove in four runs on a
double and single and scored the
winning tally in the final ninth.
He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Sokol of 1918 Monroe street

But certain grades and sizes of coal are
needed for war production. And, in addi-
ton, your local dealer is handicapped by
ashortage of manpower, trucks, and tires.
So be patient with him. Take the coal he
is able to deliver to you. Order before the
bin is empty.
And, in addition, conserve coal. Be
sure your furnace is clean and in good
repair. Fire carefully. Weatherstrip doors
and windows. Pull your shades. Close off
unused rooms. If you can, insulate. For
other suggestions see your dealer.

Little Big-Tops Are In The Chips
Small Circuses
By MURRAY POWERS
AP Features Writer

In a score of smaller cities to-
day horses are prancing. elephants
are plodding, clowns are cavort-
ing, the band fills the tent with
gay music and the daring young
men and women on the flying trap
exc offer their best in a bag of
| thrills.
It's all done without the glamor
that surrounds the ''big one,'' the
Ringing Bros. Barnum Bailey
circus that manages each season
to monopolize the circus news in
the big newspapers, on the press
services and in the magazines.
But were it not for the scores
of smaller circuses - mort of
which. you probably never heard
of-many an American youngster
would never know Of the romance
Of the sawdust in the big top. The
R. BIB. & B. and the Cole Bros,
half as large, have been the only
two railroad circuses on the road
in the last few years and they
have been playing two and three
day engagements, cutting down
the number of cities visited.
But the motorized, the truck or
the mud shows-call them what
you will-chug along from April to
November, across the country and
back, up and down. This is their
year. This is the year for small
circuses.
Last year showmen went back
to winter quarters with their
deep pockets filled wi h green
backs. It was a marvellous season.
So what happened? Every Show
man who didn't own circus but
had ambitions, and could round up
a bankroll and the necessary can
vas, rope, trucks, seats and other
scarce equipment got himself a
show
And now they're out. Either this
is going to be one of the circus
greatest financial years or t h e
countryside is going to be peopled
by stranded circuses. The early
SeaSon reports favor the former-
for already the shows are playing
to capacity.
The shows are good and bad in
quality of performance, u S t as
some movies are good and some
are poor. All of them have that
traditional circus atmosphere, the
big top, the sideshow, the midway,
the cookhouse, the grease joint"
midway eating spot), the opening
spectacle, the wild west show.
They all have horses and dogs and
ponies, most of them at least one
elephant.
They load them into the trucks
and trailers and move on to the
next town, either Immediately aft
er their night performance or the
next morning.

They proved their theories earl
Ter at hitherto little-publicized
tests on full-scale German-type
and Japanese-type buildings.
On desert site near Dugway,
Utah, the experimenters went to
work. Among the authorities who
helped build the combination Ger
man-Japanese village were an
American who for 10 years was
an architect in Japan, and a
former German architect who
came here as a refugee.
Roofs, floors and walls were
built as nearly as possible like
those of enemy structures. In
teriors were authentic, too.
Then a squadron Of flying for
tresses, liberators and Mitchell
bombers rained thermite-magres
ium bombs on one section, the new
oil bombs on another. Havoc re-
suited from both, but the oil bomb
won major role in our war pro-
gram.
Now it is being produced in guam
tity by other members of the
American team, in factories that
used to make matches, bed
springs, wall paper, stoves and the
like.
The final steps will be to scatter
those bombs over Nazi Europe,
over enemy held parts of the South
Pacific, and then among the war
plants and inflamrnable cities Of
Japan.
