BY BUS HAM,
Associated Press Sports Writer,


The sports world today felt that
wars worst pinch is just about over
and that the long road back to nor
malcy is stretching out ahead.
This feeling resulted from War
Mobilizer James F.. Byrnes' an
nouncement that the ban on horse
racing will be lifted on We day
Byrnes' statement was made in his
quarterly report to President Roose-
velt and Congress.
Sports bservers interpreted
ByrneS' action to mean that the
time is approaching when stringent
wartime regulations affecting ath-
leLics gradually can be relaxed.
Travel Still Is Problem.
However, Byrnes pointed out that
restrictions on travel must remain
in effect while the war with Japan
continues. Organized baseball, pro-
fessional football, college athletics,
bowling and other sports already
have mapped out substantial mile
age reductions.
Meanwhile, racing people quickly
took steps to be ready to open most
tracks as soon as physically possible
when victory in Europe comes-pos-
sibly in 80 days after that date.

football, basket ball and track. He
still is considered one of the best
passers and kickers in Southwest
Conference history. He was all
