Swelling Is Reduced;
|Cronin Raps 3-Game
Senior Loop pIayoff
BY the A.soesesed Press

BOSTON, Oct. 2.-Ted williams
will be ready to play in the World
Series, the Boston Red Sox club
physician said today after examin-
ing the bruised right elbow on the
slugging outfielder's throwing arm.
DR.. Ralph Mccarthy said the
swelling had gone down consider
ably and that williams would be at
for the blue ribbon classic unless
unforeseen complications develop
williams himself is determined
that he'll play. He has been or
dered to rest, however, and Man.
ager Joe Cronin said that Williams
next start would be in the series.
williams was struck by one Of
Pitcher Mickey Haefner's curves In
the exhibition game between the
Red Sox and an all-star aggrega-
ton, which the Red Sox won, 20.
Angered at even the thought he
might have lost the services Of his
star, Cronin said that the injury to
williams may be the rallying point
for majox league baseball owners to
change the system Of deciding dead
heat finishes over the regular season.
IF Brooklyn and st. Louis weren't
going through this best two-of-three
|playoff this week." Cronin said, I'VE
wouldn't have had to play exhibition
games to keep in trim. And, If there
had been no exhibition games, Ted
would; not have been hurt need
lessly."
Cronin said that the clubowners
"have got to do something about this
situation" declaring:
They can't 90 on having three
game playon system in one league
and a one-game affair In the other.
There must be uniformity to the
whole business"

CHICAGO, Oct. John L. Kee-
shin, owner of the Chicago Rockets
football team, has filed suit in Cir
cult Court here against George
Halas, owner-coach Of the Chicago
Bears, charging him with libel and
asking $3.50 900 damages.
The suit was the outgrowth of
comment allegedly made by Halas
concerning Keeshin's effort to sign
Sid Luckman, Bear quarterback, as
Rocket coach.
Halas said last night in state
ment that he had been advised
that the suit had been filed, but I

Education Is not confined to the
classroom or to the mastering Of so
many books" harrington said. ut

experiences you get In life, Of which
football Is a dramatic part"
Harrington added that he con-
sidered athletics as much a part
of university extracurricula events
as the glee club, student news
paper. dramatic or foresnics, and
that football was an intergral part
of the athletic program.
Cites Colleges Efforts.
He called attention to the fact
that George Washington, with the
largest student enrolment in the
Metropolitan Area, was large school
in the downtown area, was battling
every dif1iculty, including the lack
of a suitable practice field Of its own,
to put on an athletic program be-
cause of the students tremendous
interest in sports.
DR.. H. G. Byrd. president Of the
University of Maryland, said:
Since the first game was played,
football has been the subject Of
sporadic attacks, but has survived
and developed into a great tnstitu-
ton because In it are values that
can not be discarded. This Is the
history Of every great movement,
whether it be Christianity, mans
effort to win for himself individual
freedom, or football.
"Of course, there are excesses at
times, whether it be in the form Of
the Inquisition or in the enthusiasm
which causes some schools to go too
far in trying to acquire outstanding
football players. The instance Of
excess, though, should not cause an
indictment of the whole.
Because zealot puritans burned
some maybe harmless old lady at
the stake as a witch was no reason
to discard Christianity. Because
once in while one gets pain from
eating too much pie for dessert he
doesn't stop eating. Neither should
we discard football because in it
at times we find things We do not
like.
Football has survived and will
continue to grow because in it are
values that are indestructable and
necessary, and which give it its high
place in American life"

The attack on college football
proselyting by DR.. Paul Douglass Of
American University drew varied
comment today from officials Of
universities in the Washington
Metropolitan area. Although all
disagreed with DR.. Douglass views
they politely declined to become in
volved in any controversy over
athletics.
DR.. Douglass called football play
ers human slaves caught in the
biggest black market operation" in
the history of higher education.
Some officials, however, thought his
remarks bordered on the hysterical.
Father Matthew Kane, s. j..
faculty moderator of athletics at
Georgetown University, said he be-
lievsd football fitted in with the
educational theory of sound mind
in a sound body but that 1t was
wrong to restrict it to certain few.
"That is why we have a physical
training program and intra-mural
sports at Georgetown" he said.
I'VE approve OF all sports.
Points to War Record.
Father Kane pointed to the war
record of Georgetown football play
ers as evidence Of the sports value,
and added that football apparently
had not retarded the progress Of
numerous business and Government
leaders.
George Washington University's
Director Of Mems Activities, Max
Harrington, pointing to the popu-
larity of sports in American colleges
all over the country, said football
plays an important part In a COM
plete program and that it is the top
college game from the standpoint
of interest. This was proved at
e. w., he said, by an overwhelming
vote Of the student body, and by q
turnout of 158 candidates for the
football team, the largest In the

|Somosko Eyes
 New Brossco First Seeker

Defeated 3-2 in the first meeting of the teams, the Brasscos will try to even matters tonight when they take on the New York Cubans of the Negro National league at Muni- cipal Stadium at 8:45
 Torrington's Mike Kissko, who served in the European Theater during the war, carries the Brassco hopes. Last week in his first start, the ex-GI pitched a brilliant game against the New York Black Yankees only to lose, 10. With stronger team behind him tonight, Kissko has a good chance of breaking into the win column.
 Lou Tiant, who beat the Water bury club, is the probable starter for Nigh. Jose Fernandez'S team, but the latter has several other hur- lers available because of the rain the past two nights and he may work his aces Pat Scantlebury or the veteran Dave Barnhill. Ccantlebury is one of the best hurlers in the Negro league and is usually reserv- ed for league games. Each Negro club plays four league games week.
 Heffernan Hurt
 Mgr. Joe Samoska has plans td strengthen his infield tonight, and hopes to show new first baseman. He was seeking Johnny White of the West Haven Sailors this morn ing to replace Tom Heffernan, who is out with an injury.
