more surprised than any one else
by what was by far his best score

GOOD OCCASIONALLY
Like a lot of baseballers, he
occasionally comes through with
a low score, but there also are a
lot of high ones.
When he reported to the first

he scored. He'd been in the high

Amateurs will be required to
have cards, issued by the PEA,
which list their handicaps. A
check will be kept of their scores
and their handicap altered from
time to time on the basis of these
scores. The cards will cost the

CHANGES UNNEEDED

Although conceding Boucher is
right on most counts, Adams con-
tends hockey has satisfied its
through two of its big
geSt seasons and doesn't need con-
slant changes to hold interest.
Continued changes make It
appear the game Is unstable,
whereas baseball has gone along
without any major changes i'm
years and basketball has seen
only one-the eliminat tion Of the
tipoff," said the Wing boss.
"I have nothing against spe-
cific ideas, but I'd like to sec
them tried out before adoption"
One minor change which Adams
approves is the extension Of the
behind-the-netS area to 10 clear
feet from the hack of the nets to
the backboards.
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-05
SOME SMALLER

Olympia has 10 feet behind the
nets, but some n. II. L. arenas,
including Toronto. have z feet or
less. This makes for frequent
stoppages of play when a man
from each team gets behind the
net. On the other hand, many
scoring plays originate behind the
net in Olympia.
Boucher also advocates the elm
ination of the minor penalty shot,
which has become obsolete, and
the inclusion of the center ice
area as a starting point for icing
the-puck violations. Passage of
the latter ruling would end the
pitch-and-run game practiced by
almost every team in the National
League.

Forresfal' S Observer
Criticizes Role Given
Negroes in Navy

There are too many Negro steve
dores and cooks and too few Negro
officers in the Navy, according to an
official observer just back from q
flying tour of the Pacific.
Lester G. Granger, colored, of New
York City, special assistant to secre-
tary Forrestal and executive secre-
tary Of the National Urban League,
told newsmen at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday that discrimina ton
still is breeding trouble in shore sta
tions overseas, although conditions
in general improved during the war.
Mr.. Granger quoted Admiral
Nimitz as declaring that Negroes
will have equal opportunity in the
postwar Navy and that they did a
fine job In the war, especially in the
service Of supply.
Gives Views to ForrestaI.
1t was the observers opinion that
too many Negroes were assigned to
labor details in ammunition and
supply depots and too few to Of.
ficer duty. In other words. he said.
1t was a continuation of the old
custom under which Negroes do the
heavy physical work while others
serve in supervisory or white col
lar" capacities.
Mr.. Granger said he recommended
to Secretary Forrestal at a personal
interview yesterday that racial prac-
tices in the Navy be improved,
especially with regard to alleged
discrimination in promotions or
selection of officer personnel.
Another frequent complaint en-
countered in visiting Al Naval sta
tions on nine Pacific islands, the
observer declared, concerns racial
segregation which exists more fire.
