Carrots Rich
 InVitomins

Carrots are adding their rich col or to vegetable displays these days. With carrots crowding the grocers' bins, there's no excuse for meals lean in vitamin A. Carrots are heavy donors of carotene which the body turns into vitamin A.
 Besides their reasonable price and food value, carrots can be recom- mended for their versatility. Raw, cooked, served alone or steamed with other vegetables they fit conveniently into meals. Shredded carrots and cabbage provide & sim pie salad. And if you want quickie method for cooked carrots-pan fry them. That is, slice them thin, then place them in 8 frying pan over a low fire with 8 bit of melted fat. Cover and cook until they're ten- der. And for change you can fry carrots with onions or apple rings.

Ball 10 Be FuII-Time
Scout for Redskins,
Leaving Old Liners

Maryland lost another football
coach and the Redskins gained a
full-time scout yesterday when Her
man Ball resigned to join the pro
club. Ball helped coach the Ter
rapin linemen last season and spent
Sundays scouting for the Tribe. His
accurate reports and diagnosis Of
teams he watched won him repu-.
tation as one of the National
Leagues top spies. =
Ball, IS, is graduate Of Davis
Elkins College, and played guard on
the football team under Cam Hen
derson. He was a member of the
1888 team that lead the Nation in
scoring with 345 points In 10 games.
His first coaching berth was at
Ridgeley, w. Va, High, alma mater
OF John Lookabaugh, who recently
signed with the Redskins.
From 1886 to 1912 Ball tutored
Allegany Highs elevens, leading the
Cumberland team to Sc victories
against 13 defeats and one tie. He
turned out his first undefeated
eleven in 1886 and crowned his
achievements with two successive
unbeaten squads in 1941 and 1912.
Ball picked up the T formation in,
1910 when its popularity was on the
rise and with that system developed
Jim Gaffney, now a Redskin, and
Tommy Mont, Maryland U. quar-
terback under Clark Shaughnessy.
The latter acclaimed Mont as one
OF the finest T formation field gen.
erals he ever had seen, not excepting
Stanford's Frankie Albert.
Ball came to Maryland in 1943 to
serve as line coach under DR.. Clar-
ence Spear. For two years he also
assisted Burt Shipley in basket ball
and was member Of the physical
education staff.
Ball was drafted for duty with the
Redskins in 1914. While his new
role does not call for him to assist
with the coaching, he will sit in on
all huddles and probably have a role
in moldlng the defense. His ap-
pointment at Maryland expires
June 30.

Rich Pacific Coast Grid Region
UItimuteIy May Lure Marshall

He'll be back in April, but gone
again in June until football season
rolls around again.
j. Rufus Klawans, San Francisco
attorney who heads the coast foot
ball circuit, told us the fans will
pay for top attractions. In Los
Angeles the price scale goes as
high as So, plus tax, for box seats.
Grandstand ducats cost deuce and
general admission is 81. If the
customers shell out that much for
brand of football distinctly in
ferior to the National Leagues,
they'll support the big league.
But Klawans wasn't so sure the
coast league didn't give the fans
top-notch football. 1t was a prov
ing ground for the Redskins Steve
Bagarus, Bus Trebotich, Chuck Fen
nonbock, Fred Gehrke and a raft
of other NFL stars. 1t pays good
salaries, as high as $3.50 for star
backs and $3.50 for outstanding
tackles. But. don't let anybody
including Rufus-tell you their pay
rolls match the National Leaguers,
although they easily could with in
creased attendance.
Big Time Rivalry Not Feared.
Nor does Klawans fear the in
vasion Of either the all-Ameyica
Conference or Champion Rams in
Los Angeles. The Pacific Coast
loop will play ball with the National
League, getting out Of town when
the Rams are home, but scheduling
its best games in L. A. in opposition
to the all-America. He thinks the
Bulldogs and Rams are a cinch to
win the fight. The Pei ran the
rival American Pro Football League
out of town last year after that
organization, backed by unlimited
bankroll, it was reported, put three
teams in L.: A. against the Pacific
The Pacific conducts its affairs

By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

San Francisco will get the next
vacant National League franchise
under the Pacific Coast Leagues s
player-territory agreement with
the National. Los Angeles has Sec
ondary rights, but behind it all is
an idea that the Pacific circuit will
grow up to be the second major pro
organization. In that event Danny
Reeves might take his Rams into
It, leaving an NIL vacancy.
1t is possible that George Mar
shall has similar ideas. He spends
more and more of his time on the
coast. His wife has enough busi-
ness interests in California to oc-
cupy her time on a year -around
basis, and Marshall might be in
duced to sell his Washington inter-
ests for spot in the West. The
National, Of course, won't turn loose
such lucrative property as the Red
skins, but would establish another
team here.
