Works Hard to-
Get into Shape

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 R-
Joe DiMaggio is pedaling like
mad on a stationary bicycle,
pounding his leg muscles into
shape for the grind ahead in a
prelude to one of the most inter.
esting comeback attempts Of
l046.
Di Mage isn't taking chances
on faltering or missing fire when
he tries to pick up his New York
Yankee career where he left off
after the World Series of 1912.
He saw Hank Greenberg hobble
around the outfield and watched
ecil Travis bend his sching back
for a grass-cutter that he never
touched and he decided that was
not for him.
Every day you'li find the YAM
kee Clipper at the New York
Athletic Club using all the gym
machines and gadgets, working
like he never worked before. He
is putting on winter" training
routine that makes the old
spring training romps look ridic-
ulous in comparison.
"After watching some of the
other fellows last fall at the
Yankee Stadium I told myself I
would undergo as tough a train
ing schedule as I could stand"
said Joe. THAT means about
three weeks here. two weeks
more on my own in Florida and
then a start with the early birds
at st. Petersburg"
Di Maggie has little doubt OF
his ability to regain his former
sharpness, pointing out he was
used to stepping into the lineup
at the last minute, playing
games a week or so after his
contract trouble had been sign
ed. But he is taking no chances.
With Tommy Heinrich, Char
ley Keller and DiMaggio back in
the outfield and Phil Rizzuto,
Joe Gordon and the rest of the
gang pouring back into civilian
life, some Of the experts" are
picking the Yanks as a shoo-in
to flag but Giuseppe doesn't
see it that way.
II can't make any predictions
even If l wanted to-" laughed
Joe. 1.-The team sounds great
and we should be up in there but
I've been away for so long that
can't honestly say what our
chances are. My brother Domi-
mic wrote me the other day he'll
be back in Boston and they'll
probably have Ted Williams
again. And Detroit will be tough
too with their outfield and
pitching"

PASADENA, Calf. Dec. 27
Up Alabama's 34-man foot
ball squad has a lot of hard
work ahead to reach the peak
of physical fitness for the Rose
Bowl game.
So says Coach Frank Thomas.
And he started in today to
whip the boys into condition.
The 'Bamans arrived in nearby
Alhambra last night, 9l2 hours
late and hungry. After light
meal they worked out briskly
under arc-lights at South Pasa-
dena High School.
Whether Halfback l. owel !
Tew plays against Southern Cal
ifornia's Trojans next Tuesday
is problematical. The Alabama
coaching staff has been trying
to get a special headguard for
him but has failed. Tew has a
broken jaw, an injury sustain
ed in the last day of practise at
Tuscaloosa. Now Coach Wally
Butts of Georgia informs Thom-
as that frankie Sinkwich's spe-
cial helmet that protected his
cracked jaw has been lost.
The weather man is reserving
judgment on what he'll serve up
New Years Day, but said there
would be forecast late tonight
that might indicate whether the
teams will have solid footing.
The Rose Bowl turf is in good
condition after recent rains. Re-
gardless of the elements, the
game will be a $4,000 sellout.
Harry Gilmer. the southern
ers' celebrated forward passer,
impressed newspaper observers
who watched last nights work.
out. He has Its Of spring in his
legs and statistics show he can
run as we'll as toss 'em, having
averaged almost seven yards a
try.
Thomas did not line up his
team. After unloading his play
ers he had to hustle to Holly
wood for a radio broadcast and
his assistants, Hank Crisp and
Red Drew, tok charge. 1t was
the first time in Rose Bowl his
tory that any team had used the
arcs for a workout But Ala
bama had been on the train ~
hours and 1t was imperative that
the boys get the kinks out of
their muscles-and In a hurry.
The nine Alabamans who ap-
peared to have influenza when
they left home apparently are
over it, and Tew is the only
casualty.
- In the Southern California
camp the ailing seem to be much
on the mend. Coach Jeff Cra-
vath's squad will be just about
up to par, physically.
The Trojans didn't look too
good yesterday in drill that
emphasized pass defense. But
they'll keep at it. They feel that
il they stop Gilmer - some-
thing no other team did - they
can beat the Crimson Tide, even
though the invaders are 13-point

Nozi Rocket Maker Blows Up
Self and Guests at BunQuet
Despondent Over
Ruin Facing Him
As Leipzig Falls
BY the Associated Press.


LEIPZIG, April 20.-One of the
strangest stories to come out of the
fall of Leipzig was that of Herr
Bundin, who owned a factory which
manufactured most of the German
Armys panzerfausts, or one-shot
baZookaS.
A prisoner captured by the Amer
ican 1st Army said that as the
Americans closed in on Leipzig, the
manufacturer became despondent
at the thought of the ruin staring
him in the face
He planted explosives about the
large dining room of his home and
then invited his friends to a banquet
with himself and his family. There
was much drinking and food was
piled on the tables in course after
course. Then Herr Bundin calmly
touched button and blew himself
and his guests into oblivion.
Credence is lent to the story by
the fact more and more NaI off,
cials, Gestapo members and Ger
man industrialists are taking suicide
as the way out of disaster.
The surrender of Leipzig came
yesterday in formal note which
read
"At 100 hours on the 10Th of
April I do surrender the city of
Leipzig to Col. Walter D. Buie,
commanding officer of the 272d In
fantry, Goth Infantry Division,
representing the commander of the
United States Army in Germany"
