OdeII Switches Yale Players
New Haven. Conn. NOVembe

New Haven, Conn.,, November 15. - CUP) = With two more wins needed to close out the first perfect season in 20 years, Yale's head foot ball coach Howie Odeu shifted his first-string team today to make up for the loss of three top players in the infirmary.

 Don Mccullough, an end who was hurt in the Columbia game month ago, was back in uniform, and Odell was grooming Jim Stevens. recently arrived from Miami Uni versity, to replace Bobby Roberts, who had been used exclusively for kickoffs, extra points and field goal tries. Roberts was transferred to Dartmouth by the Navy several days ago.
 Albert (BulD Montana, who suS- tained bruised hip against Brown, may get into Saturdays starting lineup at center, although Odell was using Clifford Thompson, a Jayvee center, in practice sessions.

 New York, Nov. 15.-(UP)-The two greatest needs of current racing are receiving barns, where horses can be examined for drugs be- f-o-r-e they run, and schools for apprentice jockeys, where likely youngsters can be trained to ride properly, according to Ednyfed H. Williams of Chicago, president of the National Association of State Racing Commissioners.
 Williams, chairman of the Illinois racing board, is campaigning for establishment of these innovations in all 9 states where the gee-gees now gallop. He announced this last night at supper in Club 21. given the press by William A. Shawcross, director of racing in Rhode Island and chairman of the National Asso- ciation's Committee on Public Rela-. tionS.
 Tampering Rare
 Williams said, T hope the public will not misconstrue my proposal for receiving barns as indicating any increase in tampering with horses. Exactly the reverse is true. Tampering now is a rarity. How ever, it should be eliminated en- tirely; it's isolated cases reflect un- duly upon the sports honesty. Now that racing has attained such tre- mendous stature, it's reputation must be kept spotless. Establish ment of receiving barns at all tracks will do much to achieve this goal"
 Williams pointed out that the cur rent procedure of examining win ming horses and strange actors a-f-t-e-r the race-the results of saliva tests and urinalyses are not disclosed until "A or 48 hours later docs not properly protect the bet ting public, although it does result in pentlties for dishonest owners, trainers or handlers.
 Establishment of receiving barns would force owners to subject their horses to thorough inspection for at least two hours before each race, '" he continued. Indications of Stim- ulating or depressing drugs might be noticed, and the victimized horse withdrawn for examination. Like wise overlooking, oyer-watering or improper shoeing-artifices that might slow up a favorite-could be detected, causing the horse to be scratched.
 Scarcity
 Concerning the establishment of schools for apprentices, Williams warned that the shortage of good novice riders actually threatens fu- ture racing" He. proposes that the commission in each racing state provide a school that will attract and train youngsters in its area, so that the number of apprentices will increase; likewise their proficiency in the saddle. These schools, ham, dled by capable instructors, would be shifted from one operating track to another. They should combine practical instruction on the track in the morning and theoretical instruc- tion at night.
 Williams proposals will be given to the semi-annual meeting of the associations committee chairmen at Miami, Fla; in mid February. The meeting also will consider proposals aimed at achieving nation wide uniformity in such matters as claim ing rules and apprentice allowances.

High School Clubs Prep For Final Comes
CROSBY WILEY NEXT SUNDAY
 AT CITY FIELD

Crosby and Wilby football play CTS, the latter determined to finish out the season at any cost, are in hard training for their all-irn- portant annual game Sunday after noon at Municipal Stadium. The. game will be played at that time, rather than Thanksgiving Day be- cause Leavenworth and Hamden High are scheduled for the Turkey Day game this year, each local high school taking turns" on the city stadium for Thanksgiving Day.
 Crosby, not too strong this year, however, rated a wide edge over Wilby team that has yet to win a game, though the commercial school lads, coached by Tom Purcell and ripper" Conley are doing the very best they can each and every game, but just can't win on spirit alone. Should the Wildcats outpoint Crosby Sunday, it will be tho upset of the year in Connecticut; considering the mountain of "hard luck' that Wilby has had to contend with since last spring.
 Good Backs
 Opposing backfelds are able enough, Crosby having perhaps a slight edge, with Reardon, Pickett, Latimer and Johnson against Le- noce, Squires, Silva and LedarSki of Wilby who has shown up well as combination.
 Leavenworth is cooling out, await ing the Hamden Turkey Day game OF Thursday, Nov. 23rd, with every indication of hard struggle, at tended by a big crowd.

This \ Sporting World
It's Up To F.D.R.
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

With considerable pressure still being exerted toward the moving of the Army-Navy football game from Annapolis to Philadelphia, New York or Soldiers Field, Chicago, which has now reached the ears and mind of President Franklin D. Roosevelt; it seems to me that the President will give PUBLIC MOR- ALE terrible setback from standpoint of the new SIXTH WAR LOAN, if he sides in with the Navy Department and keeps the Decem- be: 2 game at Annapolis, in the face of formal request by the Treas ury Department that he order the game shifted to large city so that millions of dollars worth of WAR BONDS can be sold; and BILLIONS more throughout the country, as a direct result of acceeding to public request.
 In short, the President is now forced into the unsavory predica- ment of IMPEDING THE WAR EFFORT, if he does not do every thing in his power to HELP SELL WAR BONDS to Americans; should he do nothing definite about mov- ing the site of the game from An- napolis, to city where War Bonds can be sold as a result, and give 50O00 more football fans a chance to see the game.
 Yet, not a voice was lifted in the Navy Department or anywhere else when the Navy's football trip from Annapolis to Atlanta, Georgia was approved; when the big idea is to prevent unnecessary transporta- tion during war time.

BLAIK,
 UNITED PRESS
 COACH OF WEEK
BY JOE JAMES CUSTER

bx JOE siAMEO CUSxEh Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov. I5-(UP)-All his life he has sought the background but his abilities just won't let him remain there. His colleagues &C., claimed him coach of the year" in 1S4J and he has been making the designation stick, especially this sea- son with point-per-minute power house.
 He is the United Press coach-of- ths-week, Earl Henry (Red) Blaik, whose Army juggernaut overwhelm- ed Notre Dame by the overwhelm- shattering score of 59-0 last Satur- day and is rolling through the greatest season in Army's Swear football history.
 The football situation at the Point was practically a national calamity when Blaik took over in l941. Without a major victory in two years, the Cadets had been whaled by fat scores by assorted op- position, until academy authorities decided too much was enough. They tossed precedent aside and signed Blaik as their first civilian gridiron tutor since 1911.
 Blaik not only converted eSSenti- ally the iame material into a win ner, but literally saved fotball at West Point the following season when Army authorities sought to disband the sport for the duration, by stressing the games morale value.
 Balks Precedent
 Precedent has way of flying out the window when Blaik appears on the scene. The Dartmouth policy of alumni coaching, for instance, was scrapped or him in 1884 and the major regret the Hanover, N. H. school ever had was when Blaik left for West Point seven years later wit ha record of only 12 re- verses in 70 games.
 Born in Dayton, Ohio, Feb. 15, 1897, the fiery hedhead was a baS- ketball and baseball star in high school and added football to his schedule at Miami University. Upon graduation, he entered West Point, played end, won his commission and the highest honor Cadet may at tin, the Sabre award, in 1920. He was assigned to the cavalry as First Lieutenant at Fort Riley and Fort Bliss. But the demands of his fathers real estate business forced him to resign in 1922, and later he rejoined his Miami coach, George Little, as an assistant at Wisconsin.
 In 1927 he returned to West Point as aide to Col. Laurence M. (BifD Jones, now athletic manager at the academy. He served successively under Major Ralph Sasse and Lieut.. Gar Davidson so ably that he was selected for the choice coaching plum ta Dartmouth.
 T consider Blaik one of the fin est football strategists in the game and wish him every success at Dart mouth" Davidson said when the change was made, supporting the professions acknowledgement that l the plain spoken, disciplinarlan- minded young mentor had genius for fabricating sound, modern ve- hicles of attack, characterized by imagination, daring, speed and de- ception.
 Riding the crest today as coach of a football team that may go down in history with the all-time greats, Blaik is philosophical as well as characteristically modest.
 "The Navy game?" he answers. LAW, how about letting a guy enjoy himself little while the going Is good?"
