Quitting Army Again
BY the Assorioted Press


JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 30.-Thomas
Shorty" McWilliams, West Point
footballer who apparently wants ne
more of Army life, may be making
another bid to return to the casua,
slacks-and-sweaters atmosphere Of
Mississippi State.
Purser Hewitt, managing editor OF
the Jackson {Miss.) Clarion Ledger
said in a column last night that
McWilliams submitted his third
resignation request to West Point
authorities Thursday.
Hewitt added:
IF this latest action - doesn't
convince the folks on the Hudson
that Shorty prefers to go to school
play football and live his life ir
Mississippi, they're hard indeed tc
convince.
IF the resignation is turned down
this time, the Army can hardly de.
fend itself against charges of hoard
ing football players - ="
Hewitt referred to recent charges
that West Point is refusing tc
acknowledge requests for resignation
by athletes who wish to attend other
schools.

Professors Are Optimistic.
Several of the Naval Academy's
top-fight professors also were flown
in with the football party early this
week and they predicted that the
Midshipmen's classroom progress
more than would outstrip their

After directing his players, only
nine OF whom can be described as

stamped them as "a very willing

those IA games to the schedule and
I still don't, but in fairness to Harry

I think it should be disclosed that
the 168-game schedule idea wasn't
the result of lettering conditions

New Player Contract
May Be Affected by

By Herbert Goren

CHICAGO, Aug, 30.-Unless the

session of major league officials is
Overwhelmingly enticing to the ball

haggling over the form of the new

This was the sentiment expressed
here by players on learning that the

brace 168 games instead Of the 1874
which over the years has been
standard procedure.

Will Sound Out Players.
They don't like it. What they do
not know yet, of course, is exactly
what is incorporated in the report
by baseball's steering committee,
consisting of Larry MacPhail, Tom
Yawkey, Phil Wrigley and Sam
Breadon, with MacPhail doing most
of the spadework. But they soon
will know. In the next two weeks
lit will be passed on to the Ameri-
can and National League Player
Committees, who, in turn, will
sound out the other players.
Several days ago Dixie Walker,
chairman of the National League
group, declared he wishes his COM
mittee could meet in private with
the American league trio-Johnny
Murphy. Mel Harder and Joe Kuhel
and go over the problems, point
by point. before the club owners
acted on it. He did not get his way.
The club owners were in a hurry
to come to a decision. Apparently,
Dixie still is dissatisfied.
The establishment of fuller
schedule, according to Will Harridge,
president of the American League,
means that lot of open dates now
will be filled, that there will be a
Tightening up of long stretches of no
playing, that this does not neces-
sarily mean more night baseball.
It's Okay With Pitchers.
But the players raise objections,
particularly those who are not
pitchers. The pitchers see in it the
chance to win more games and
therefore to improve their bargain
ing power. But for the others, who
are in there every day, the longer
season has no appeal whatsoever.
Many of the records, regarded as
so much Of the backbone of base
ball, must be thrown out of the
window when comparisons are made
between players of 1947 and those
OF the past. Some players said it
looked to them as if the big leaguers
were going in for bush league
schedules. On the other hand,
Commissioner Chandler pointed out
that the present schedule has
around 81 open dates for each club,
and that next years schedule, start
ing on April is, and ending on Sep
TENDER %, will not affect the time
which players owe to their clubs.
