NEW YORK. Jan. 6. - Up -
When Coach Leo Novak held trials
for the winter track team at West

be the fastest sprinter while Max
Minor, who had been rated a
speed king when he was IN TeXaS,
didn't even qualify. And Doc Blan-
ehard, who never had gone out
for track, became a 40-foot shot
putter In one week. That helps to
explain few things about the
Army football team. The Arnerl-

average for the seven previous

PRO GRID LEAGUE
PLANNING EXTRAS

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-UP)-At a
time when most sports are faced
with further wartime abridgement,
the professional National Football
League opens one of its most i'm
portant meetings in history Tues
day, faced with the knotty problem
of adding one and possibly two
teams for the 1945 campaign.
The National League, while pos
sibly planning coast-to-coast expan-
sion, says it is relatively free of
manpower worries and competitors
although it's brethren are expert
encing shaky footing due to War
Mobilization Director James f.
Byrnes' recent plea for review
of 4-F athletes.
Ten teams fought through the
1914 play-for-pay season, but the
last place Card-Pitt combine will
be divorced come the 1945 season,
after discovering that football mer-
gers seldom fit. With the Chicago
Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers
back as separate entries, the Oldest
pro football group in the country
will have IL teams and searching
for a twelfth.
Eleven club owners will convene
here Tuesday for a rules meeting
to be followed by the annual win
ter business sessions which will
lay the ground work for the
leagues 26th year. Next falls
schedule, the annual player draft,
the budget and franchise applica-
tons are on the agenda, which
probably will hold the pro gridiron
leaders here through Friday.
At last years meeting, several
for franchises were
tabled, including one for San Fran
cisco and another for Los Angeles.
League headquarters said both ap-
would come up for ac-
ton next week.
