Postwar Sport
Boom IS Seen
Bottle Brutality
Will Not Interfere

AUSTIN, Texas. March 10
(R)- Those football players who
marched away to war are going
to come back and take up just
where they left off and it will
be a major factor in a great
sports boom when the conflict
is at an end, D. x. Bible, vet
eran University Of Texas coach,
believes.
He doesn't think the brutality
of battle and the narrowing ex-
periences will take away the en-
thusiasm Of Americas youth for
athletics.
Bible bases his opinion on let
tiers, movies and what he knows
about football players over a Pc
riod of three decades of coach
ing, Bible is veteran of World
War I.
"Tn letters from boys who
have had their college careers
interrupted by war. the word
invariably comes: 1 am living
for the day when we'll have the
family" back together again"
Bible said. Then, there is the
desire expressed by our armed
services for sports to be carried
on as usual"
The University has many re-
quests for films of its football
games and has sent them to hos
pitfalls, army camps, flying fields
and to American units overseas.
I'm every company you'll find
a Texan or two" Bible explain
ed. "They want the pictures to
keep up with the sports program
back home and I'm sure it's the
same with the other colleges of
the country. Isn't that a good
indication that they're still in
terested and are planning to re-
turn to athletics?"

well probably play almost
as many exhibitions" Frick said.
&The principal thing will be re-
juggling of schedules" TO relieve
the burden on wartime transport
tation.
The type Of game ruled out is
that calling for trip from one
camp to another camp in diff
ferent town. No estimate was
made Of the number Of games
that will be cancelled.
Games at Army or Navy camps
still may be played if the mill
tary furnishes transportation.
Schedules will be arran ged to
permit playing these additional
games:
(D Intra-camp games where
two teams are training in the
same vicinity such as the New
York Yankees and Boston Red
Sox at Atlantic City.
(2) Games on the way home
from camp II such contests are
played at points on direct
route home.
CD Intra city games once the
teams reach home such as the
White Sox VS.. Cubs in Chicago,
Yankees VS.. Giants in New York,
Browns VS.. Cardinals in st.
Louis.
These proposed schedule re-
visions will give us more than
259o reduction Tin traveD but
it's all right if they do that"
said Frick and Harridge. The
league heads pledged a 251S
travel slash for baseball at a
