Heifetz'S Last Recital
For J Years Draws ThrOng

minor" of last years program, the
Bach "Chaconne" was played with
a closing group Of shorter numbers,
of which the Castelnuovo Tedesco
arrangement of the Figaro" music
from Rossini's Barber of Seville"
was the least familiar.
Heifetz, in the past, has been re-
nowned for searching among the
forgotten pieces of the violin liter
allure and making known many ex-
cellent numbers so that his lack of
initiative in planning yesterdays
program may be forgiven him. His
performance was of such superior
order also that the well-known Sc
lections gained new beauty. The
serene happiness of the Brahms
Sonata found admirable expression
In the pure, free tone of the violinist
and his highly developed artistry in
phrase fashioning. His delicate sp-
proach to it and the well-stressed
but not intrusive underlying warmth
which he allowed to enrich 1t gave
it an extraordinary residence and
nervousness.

The last opportunity to hear Jas

two years drew an audience to Con-

farewell concert appearance, the

only-Mr. Heifetz was in superb
form and played with great beauty
of tone and feeling. Perhaps, be-
cause he is temporarily rounding
out his recital performances, the
program contained nothing new; in
fact the first portion was an exact
duplication of the one he played
here last year.
In the same order on both pro-
grams, the opening numbers were
by Scarlatti, the Allegro from

Pro Football League
To Consider Action
Of Baseball Meeting

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.- Up The
national football league probably
will devote part of its meeting here
Monday to considering the action
Of the major baseball leagues in
closing their parks to football until
the end of the baseball season,
George Strickler, NIL public rela-
tons director, said today.
Only two league football games
were listed for major league parks
before the baseball season ended
this year: At Pittsburgh Sept. "a,
and at Boston Sept. 26. In each
case the baseball club had closed
its home schedule. The Detroit
Lions scheduled to play in Briggs
stadium Oct. 8, had arranged to
shift the game to the University
OF Detroit stadium in case of a
conflict with the world series.
''1f we ever are going to have
our own ball parks, it's actions
like this that will hasten the day."
Stricken said.

DR.. Algie I. Newlin of Guilford

is now in the Navy. Prof. H. L.
Hook of Elon, was elected vice
president; DR.. David E. Faust of
Catawba, reelected secretary and
treasurer. and Dr.. c. r. Hinshaw
of High Point, was named COM
missioner.
The conference h a d previously
suspended none of its eligibility
rules, but the matter of service
men was discussed, and the con-
ference adopted a motion by Coach
r. R. Doak of Guilford, that all
servicemen who dropped out Of
school be elibible for major sports,
and their active years in the serv-.
ice would be disregarded. This will
include Navy Viz and similar par
tlclpation. The time for eligibility
is to begin at the first fall session
following the discharge of a serv-
iceman.

The presidents of the two leagues
and the secretary to the late K.
M. Lands probably will function
smoothly as a unit, at that, as they
have the interests of the game at
heart and besides, the major deci-
sions pertaining to the conduct Of
baseball in war time were made
by Lands before his death.
That is, there is no question but
that the sport will continue to move
along with the tide, asking no IA
vors from the government and even
leaning over backward to avoid the
faintest suspicion it considers it.
self essential.
The memory of the late commits
sioner still is too fresh to permit
consideration of any changes in his
policies, whether they concern
Southern spring training or the TAX
ing of horse race figures into the
fold. We imagine his vivid person
atty has been dominating the meet
ing ending today, and if any action
was taken which the club owners
thought he night not approve
they'd half expect his booming
voice to come in with an emphatic
NO"
Lands policies have been good
enough to carry the Major Leagues
successfully through three wartime
seasons which at times saw tn e
outlook bleak indeed, what with
transportation, the manpower stu
alton and other factors often serious
threats to the game.
Some Of those problems still ex.
list, and the game right now is back
where it was year ago in regard
to the man power outlook. The
recent decision to resume drafting
for service of men in the 26.37
age group, combined with the in.
formation that the War Department
is going to be tougher about re1eas.

the gates to another winter Of
worry for the baseball moguis.
They undoubtedly figured the old
er men who had not been called
by now would not be called in fu-
ture, and they also figured on ball
players being DISCHARGED and re-
turning to the game. Not that ball
players won't continue to be dis.
charged, but the reasons will have
to satisfy the critical.
Getting back to the three.man

Kas., high school and then repeat
ed the experience with the Univer-

He shuffles like a weary waitress

pranced 70, II and "a yards
against the University Of Washing
