Of Authority

DETROIT, Feb. 16 - R -
George Romney, managing d.
rector of the automotive council
for war production, asserted in
statement prepared for the
Senate War Investigating Com
mittee and made public today
that the real difficulties affect
ing war production arise largely
from union efforts to "usurp
the functions of management"
'This effort" Romney said in
a letter to the committee chair
man, Senator James M. Read
(D-NY) "is being aided by ac-
tons of government agencies
and officials"
The committee has just begun
an investigation of manpower
utilization in the war-busy De-
troit area.
SOARING STOPPAGES

.DOTY, BENNETT
 IN RETURN 60
 AT HARTFORD

Hartford, Jan. l2-Joltin' Joe Bennett returns in the not-too-fa- miliar role of avenger next Tues day night, when he gets his anX- iously- sought return shot at Hart ford's Red" Doty in the ten-round star bout at the Auditorium.
 In the past Bennett has been ac- customed to winning the first bout of his string of local series with various welterweight and middle weight foes. Usually his opponents were the ones who sought revenge,
 Always some unusual incident cropped up in an original fight that warranted one or more fematches,;; an incident that sometimes becloud- ed the outcome and left the loser and his adherents far from satis- fled.
 Doty scored 2-l upset in whip ping the former kingpin of local welterweight action, It was an eX- citing scrap, with Doty dropping Bennett in the second heat and missing a possible knockout in wild-swinging exchange, Bennett instinctively fought back until his head cleared, while an aroused, hoarsely shouting audience roared with glee.
 It was one of Doty's best efforts, Defensively he was tops, blocking many of Joe's blows.

 NATIONAL LEAGUE By United Press

The New York Rangers, who haven't lost a hockey game since Dec 90, shared honors in the Na- tional league today with the vaunt' ed Montreal Canadiens, who re- gained sole possession of first place, both teams scoring well earned vic" tories last night.
 The Rangers pulled Up even with the Boston Bruins in fourth place by defeating them 5 to 1 at Mad ison Square Garden last night. Boston whizzed to a goal in the first 45 seconds, Jack Crawford do-' ing the honors, but after that Ken McCauley, the Ranger goalie barred the nets. Five different players. Hank Goldup, Walt Atanas, Kilby Macdonald, Grant Warwick and Fred T'hurier did the scoring, Mac Donald getting his shot unassisted.
 Montreal overcame it's Toronto jinx, defeating the Maple Leafs ? to 4, with a five goal second period rally clinching the victory. Although Toronto concentrated its defensive attention on the Montreal scoring ace, Maurice Richard, he broke through twice for tallies as did Hec- tor (Toe) Blake. Toronto scored three times in the final period with Emile Bouchard getting an tlnas' sisted goal.

By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Otfhand, the writer would like to put in his two cents worth" to the effect that Eddie Eagan, a poor boy who came from NOWHERE to wealth, fame, sporting, social and military position in the course of an exemplary life; should make a great chairman of the New York boxing commission; since his ap- pointment was personally announced by Governor Tom Dewey yesterday; the latter making a special trip from Albany to Manhattan to tell the boxing writers what he intended to uo. Eagan will be remembered quite well by Yale men, as the young lad who won the l75 pound intercol- legiate boxing title; then went to Antwerp to capture the Olympic championship ill 1920.
 l cant just wait to see what comes of Eagan's first tangle with Millionaire Mike Jacobs. If he cleans up the FIGHT TICKET situation alone, he will have earned his $7,500 in no time; though he is now veal thy in his own right; is former U, s, ASSISTANT DISTRICT AT TORNEY and has plenty of INTES- NAL FORT1TUDE.

PENALTY FOR \ BAD LATERAL PASSES REDUCED
BY MASON BLOSSER United Press Staff Correspondent


 Columbus, O., Jan. 12--(UP)--Pre- liminary step swere completed today fcr nationwide standardization of college football rules, with the, o ac h es association approving changes effected last year by eastern schools and recommending their adoption by the national collegiate athletic association.
 The coaches, meeting in connec- tion with the N. c. A. A. convention, suggested elimination of the out-of- bounds, legal forward passes at any point behind the line of scrimmage, the mandatory use of one-inch kickoff tee, and restricted use of the forearm in blocking.
 Lou Little of Columbia University, head of the coaches rules commit tee, said it also had voted to reduce the present severe pent lties" for attempted laterals beyond the line of scrimmage which range forward. Under the proposed rules, there would be five yard penalty and down from the point where the at tempted lateral was thrown. At pres ent, the play is ruled an incomplet- ed forward pass and the ball is re- turned to the original line of scrim- mage,
 Elbows
 Elab o rating on the proposed change in blocking, Little said the coaches decided that when the fore arm was used, the hand must be kept against the body, striking the face with the elbow prohibited.
 The coaches rejected a proposal to permit running with a recovered tumble and proposals to circumvent stalling by team late in the game.
 Little said the coaches agreed that officials could prevent stalling "by strict enforcement of the rules"
 The coaches also rejected the oft proposed plan to return the goal posts to the goal line.
