 Such restriction iB necessary, the managers were told, in order to keep these games from adding to the wartime transportation burden Of intercity bugses and passenger trains, Tho ODT also renewed it's request that oil football teams use coaehc train accommodations where. ever possible and that no FeserVa. tions Do made until the day be-. fore reparture,
 Delay Reservations
 The ODT pointed out that these football teans, with schedules fixed far in advance, are in 0 position to make early reservations. MeH- bers Of the armed services and per. sons travelling on war business, how ever, often must travel on short notice, By delaying applications for reservations, team managers can aid the war effort by keeping space available for essential travel.
 Elmer Y, Layden, commissioner of the National Football league, has aS- sured tho oDT that the professional football teams will continue the plan Of cooperation which was in effect last year
 Tn accordance with this program the professional football tetanls agree to use coach accommodations whenever possible, and to refrain from making any necessary Pull- man reservations until the day Do. fore departure. By revising their schedules and limiting the number of players travelling. they last year reduced team travel by about 37 per cent over l042, and the ODT expects Q similar saving thk sea. son.
