MERCHANT FLEET
MAKES BIG GAINS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-R -
The United States Merchant fleet
came out of the war, an official
tabulation showed today, with
more than half the ships and near
ly two-thirds the gross tonnage
among all non-Axis nations.
The United States Maritime
commission counted $500 ships of
1000 gross tons or more as of
last September. Their total ton
mage was 40,080,0O2.
That was, four times as many
vessels and five times as much
tonnage as the United States had
in 1899. The commission omitted
ships on the Great Lakes and In
land waterways.
For the Is non-Axis countries
having merchant fleets at the war S
close. The commission listed TO-
ITS ships of IS, 859,2O4 gross tons.
Britain ranked second to the
United States with 2,347 ships of
IA, 842, 805 tons. Next in line We're
Norway and The Netherlands.
The maritime commission said
the United States lost 743 vessels
of 1000 or more gross tons during
the war, 604 because of direct en-
envy action.

WAKE FOREST, Jan. 2-R-An
improved and revamped Wake
Forest team will return to the
basketball courts here Saturday
night in a game with team from
Norfolk Naval Training station
managed by Joe Murnick, former
boxing coach at the University of
North Carolina.
Deacon coach Murray Greason
announced that he plans to shift
Deran Walters of Statesville, who
stands six feet four inches, from
center to forward. Abner Williams
of Indian Trail, a freshman, will
take over the center slot.
Greason said that other players
who would probably see a lot of
action from now on with the Dea-
cons are Shu1ar Lofts of Durham,
who played with Duke before the
war and has recently enrolled at
Wake Forest; John Manley of
Baltimore; and Jim Fleet Of
Greensboro.
None of these is listed among
the probable starters for the Satur-
day night game, however. Grea-
son expects the starting team to
have Hank Lougee of Durham and
Joe Hineman of Henton, w. Va,
at the guards, A. B. Williams at
Center, and Walters and George
Vietch of New Kingington, Pa, at
forward positions.

balls highest paid manager for
the second straight year.
Durocher, now in Miami Beach,

Dodger headquarters refused to

Dodgers drawing more than 1,000,-

CARROLL WlDDOES
GETS ASSISTANTS
JOB in SWITCH
Action Comes After Men
tor Makes Fine School
Record
BY HAROLD HARRISON

COLUMBUS, Jan. &tRNOh1o
State University's athletic board
tonight unanimously approved the
appointment of Paul Bixler as head
football coach to succeed Carroll
Widdoes, who asked to be relieved
Of his duties after directing the
Buck to 16 victories in 10 games.
TIE change was unprecedented
in Ohio State football annals. Both
Bixler, 80, and Widdoes were as
sistants under former Coach Paul
E. Brown, and Bix1er served as
Widdoes' assistant during the last
two years.
The athletic board announced
that Widdoes, at Bixler's request,
would remain on the staff as an
assistant coach.
The board said there was a
"gentleman's agreement that Blk
1er's contract would run for three
years, starting as. of yesterday. The
salary was not given.
Widdoes had been one of Brown S
assistants in creating the fabulous
teams at Massillon High school.
Bixler had been coach at Canton
Mckinley high school and also had
served at Colgate and Akron uni
versities.
They aided Brown in the develop
ment of the 1912 national cham
pionship team.
Early in 1914 Brown entered the
navy. Widdoes was named acting
head coach. That fall his team
blasted its way to nine straight
victories, Ohio States first I'M
beaten and united regular season
since 1920, and copied the Big
Ten championship. Grid coaches
throughout the nation voted Wild
does coach of the year"
Browns resignation last spring
brought Widdoes' elevation to act
ual head coach and his team last
season lost only to Purdue and
Michigan in nine games.
But rumors of discord started at
mid-season when veteran Paul Sar-
ringhaus threatened to quit, the
squad. That was patched up but the
rumors Of coaching dissatisfaction
started again after the defeat by
Michigan.
At the start of the Christmas
holiday vacation, reports were rife
that numerous members of the
squad would not return to school
when the new quarter starts to-
morrow.
Those reports came to a head
Saturday when gridders Jerry
Krall and Paul Ehrsam, both of
Toledo, said they might not come
back. Neither would give any rea-
son but Krall said he was consid-
ering entering the University of
Wisconsin.

ATHLETIC GEAR
REMAINS SCARCE

WASHINGTON, JAM 2. -{P-
The sports world, in its tremendous
postwar upsurge, will have to
pinch along for some time con
whatever it can scrape together
in equipment.
Key persons in the civilian pro-
duction administration familiar
with the athletic equipment out
look said today there will be mo
flood of sports gear onto the
market until late in 1916 Or early
in 1947. G.
This condition is attributed to
industrial troubles and lingering
shortage of materials which has
delayed production in many lines.
Some athletic equipment is
coming out, of course" these per-
sons said, "But it would take mir
acle to produce before next fall
sports gear in quality and quantity
up to what the public was used
to before the war"
The principal bottlenecks are in
textiles and natural rubber, only
small amounts Of which can now
be used to manufacture athletic
equipment. Shortages also exist in
wood and steel.
There are these bright spots for
a gradually increasing supply:
l. The service forces, which took
most of the equipment produced
during wartime, have cut back
their demands, although no sur
plus is in sight.
o. First-grade leather now Is
available in virtually unlimited
amounts.
8. Synthetic rubber is plentiful.
Fright now it is matter OF
up stocks, almost depleted
during wartime, before the man
who wants ball and bat or fishing
and hunting items can go into a.
store and buy Them" the OPA said.
