CRASH INJURIES
OLLIE CORDILL

DALLAS, March 26-LR-A Me-
chanical failure did what football
teams and the Nazi air force
couldn't do - stop Ollie Cordill -
but hell have you know it's only
temporary and he'll be smashing
at the Axis again very soon.
The former Rice ms titute half
back, seriously injured in a plane
crash n North Africa, has risen
from a hospital bed, gone through
the rehabilitation center at Santa
Monica, Calf, declined medical
discharge and now is getting ready
to take to the air again as pilot
for the fifth ferrying group here.
Big Ollie-he was a 185-pounder
when blasting football lines but
the Army made a fullback of 21O
out of him-suffered a back in
jury that put him in a hospital for
six months when a stalled engine
on a P-26 Marauder bomber caused
crack-up in June. 1913.
He returned to the United States
last September for stay in Ash
burn Hospital at Mckinney, Tex,
then started thinking about shoot
ing down more Nazi planes. He
did quite a bit of this before his
injury, winning the air medal and
an Oak Leaf Cluster on IA bomb
ing missions over Sicily, Sardinia,
Cape Bon and other battle fronts
OF the North African campaign.

FREDERICK, Md, March 90
R-Connie Mack thinks that his
1914 Philadelphia Athletics have
a chance of ending his 13-year
pennant drought but there's an
diversified if connected with his
dreams.
The big if is expressed in these
terms, eff we can keep what we
have now"
The AS stand to lose couple OF
their experienced pitchers but the
heart of the ball club is re-
servoir of Is or 16 players who
have been rejected by the armed
services or are either too young
or too old.
The venerable Mr.. Mack who at
81 still hopes to win tenth Am
erican League flag is convinced
that his club will be an improve
ment on the 1943 version that won
only 40 games and finished in the
basement.
While he looks for improvement,
Mr.. Mack believes that the loss
of Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon, Char
ley Keller, Luke Appling, Dick
Wakefield and Tommy Bridges
have leveled off the rest of the
American League.
Already the Athletics have set
up a regular infield which is ex-
pected to start the season against
Washington April 10. 1t includes
two holdovers and two rockies.
Dick Siebert is back at first
base and Irv Hall, a shortstop last
season, has been shifted to second

HAYES PREDICTS
A4-MINUTE mile

BLOOMINGTON, IND, March
26-R-Resumption of Swedish-Fin-
nish track rivalry after the war
may produce the elusive four
minute mile, the late E. c. (Bllly)
Hayes, producer of distance cham
pions and veteran track coach at
Indiana University, predicted in
his last interview.
Hayes yielded to few interviews
during his lifetime, but to Robert
A. Cook, then university director
of athletic publicity and now a
member of the Army Air Forces,
he expressed the belief that the
Scandinavians held the best and
perhaps the only hope of attain
ing the goal long sought by top
distance men.
The I. U. track coach died last
December but the interview was
released only today.
Hayes expressed the oplnoIn that
Gunder Haegg, the Swedish flyer,
might have stepped a mile in 4:01
or 400 on his American tour last
summer if there had been an Amer
lean runner available at the time
capable of pushing him.
"Haegg came to US at our weak
est moment" he said. Both Gil
Dodds and Bill Hulse ran well up
to their ability, but if we had bad
Leslie MacMitchell, Campbell
Kane, Earl Mitchell and Frank
Dixon, Haegg would have come ex-
tremely close to the four-minute
mile
ION my trip to Finland he
went on, Il heard much about the
rivalry between these Scandinavian
neighbors, but the Firms were able
then to speak with natural conf
dence of their ability to defeat the
Swedes in track and field events,
particularly distance running. The
character and unconquerable spirit
of that small nation, situated In a
geographical position between ma
tons so greatly outnumberlng
them, was shown to the world IN
Olympic competition"

Durham Open golf tournament to-
day with a 72-hole total of 271.

finish, the 1871 winner of the Ma
tional Open and the Augusta Mas
tiers put on a stirring finish for a
hectic 68 on the final round to
edge out Byron Nelson, the Toledo
ace, by three strokes.
Starting the day with a one-shot
lead on Nelson and Jimmy Hines,
Wood fired a g. in the morning,
and Hines and Nelson matched it.
But in the afternoon the duration

PORK PRODUCTION
CAN Be BOOSTED

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
March ga recent survey among
pork producers in all parts OF
North Carolina revealed that most
farmers can improve their hog
production plans by following well
known practices, reports Ellis Yes
tai. Extension swine specialist at
State College.
Improvements can be made in
the keeping of boars, the hand
ling of bred sows and gifts, the
care of nursing sows and pigs. and
in the fattening of pigs and hogs
for market.
For example, the survey showed
that about 4 breeders in 10 do not
keep careful record of breeding
dates. which is a good recon-
mended practice. About 2 farm
ers out of do not wash the sow
and place her in clean, dry pen
with a moderate amount of fresh
litter about days before she is
due. About 4 farmers out of 10
do not provide a 6 by 8 foot pen
with guard rails.
Some 1900 farmers were check
ed on 80 recommended practices
and a folloW-up trip was made to
see if the farmer had improved
his plans in hog growing. 1t was
found that about one-half of the
farmers Immediately corrected the
conditions as called for in the list
of recommended practices.
Many farmers stated that they
were fully aware of the fact that
they were not following the best
practices but that they had simply
neglected to put them into effect.

Connie Mack Foresees
Good Year For His AS

led all organized baseball last
year with a 1896 batting mark at
Lancaster, Pa, in the Interstate
Circuit.
Outside of conceding center field
to Jojo White, Mr.. Mack hasn't
selected an outfield. Other can
didates are Bobby Estalelal of last
years club, Woody Wheaton who
hit 1926 and Lew Flick who hit
..371, both for Lancaster. Bill Bur-
go from Wilmington of the same
league, banged out BAT mark and
hit .371 in II games for the AS.
Much depends on Catcher Frank
lie Hayes, who is back at the first
string job despite a disappointing
season in St. Louis. Hayes reported
in good condition for his tenth
year in the big leagues. Behind
him Mack has part-time Hal Wag-
ner who wants to catch weekends
and work the rest of the time
pending Commissioner Lands ap-
proval, Lou Parisse from Whining
ton and William Buster Mills, a
free agent from Holy Cross.
Jess Flores, Russ Christopher,
Bobo Newsom, Luke Hamlin, Don
Black and Luman Harris are count
ed upon as starting pitchers al
though two of them may not be
around very long. Hamlin won q
for Toronto and all the others
were with the AS.
Joe Berry, an 18-game winner
for Milwaukee, is slated for relief
duty and the old gentleman may
have to use him as starter. Carl
Shieb, 17-year-old from Gratz,
Pa, finished out last year with the
club and is up for another look
and some careful tutoring from
Coach Chief Bender who consld-
ers him fine prospect.
