Southern Code Frees
Athletic Slaves,
Bryant Asserts
By the Associated Press

LEXINGTON, KY, April 4.-Ken-
lucky Football Coach Paul (Bear)
Bryant, answering an attack on
Southern football by Ohio State IS
Yves Fesler, observed today that the
South, through its above-the- boards
scholarships, was setting free the
athletic slaves" of the North.
Fesler declared that Southern
school agents are among us con-
stantly," and called upon Ohio ath-
letes to weigh carefully offers made
by schools of the South.
Bryant said he was amused by
Fesler's lack Of interest in the play
ers he was losing to professional
football as compared to his great
concern over Southern scouts shak-
ing the Ohio bushes. ..
"He doesn't seem to mind too
much if his players give up their
education to play for pay, but he
is plenty mad if a boy is inclined
to trade his football ability for an
education" Bryant added.
The young mentor declared play
ers had a right to expect their edu-
cation in return for the. high sala-
ries Of coaches and the big stadiums
their playing was financing.
"Is contend that our system of
scholarships provides the only legiti-
mate way some athletes can get an
education and still play football. 1t
guarantees the opportunity to get
an education, in exchange for the
players football ability" he said.

Field Shooting Curbed
District Five lakes
II on Chin Again
By Bill Fuchs

The Basket Ball Association's
first-place playoii between Wash
ington's Capitols and Chicago's
Stays is beginning to throw some
light on how the Caps might fare
against q cagey opponent stressing
defense, q point frequently con-
sidered as the Caps drove to their
Eastern Division championship.
In losing their second successive
game to the Chicagoans last night,
69-53. the Caps again were woefully
weak in the field goal column and
had to rely on the free-throw line
to stay in the game.
The new league emphasized Of
tense throughout its season and the
Caps. one of the greatest shooting
combinations in the country, rolled
over the opposition like Sherman
tank.
Realizing the one-and probably
only-way to beat the Eastern
champions was by playing the more
conservative game Of defense, back
board control and the fast-break,
Stag Coach Ole Olsen concentrated
on such a system.
Caps Game Worst Ever.
Its one thing to shoot with no
one bothering you and another to
shoot when some one has hand in
your face all the time" the former
Ohio-State mentor explained.
So the Stays had those hands in
the Caps faces. Hence, the shabby
shooting performance Of the local
quint last night.
The Caps made 81 attempts from
the floor, but only 16 found their
mark. In the first frame they sank
only one field goal in % attempts.
In the last period. they registered
two for "a tries. It was the Caps
worst showing ever.
Capt. Bob Feerick of the Caps,
who surprisingly enough led the
scoring of both clubs with 10 points,
admitted the trouble after the game.
We've always had difficulty with
team that crowds u.s." he said. But
the next time we play them we're
going to move-and move fast! At

Mats Need Shortstop,
Are Likely 10 Make
Deal With Browns
BY Burton Hawkins
Star SiaH Correspondent

ORLANDO, Fla, April 4.-In 10
more days the Mats 1947 edition will
'trot onto Griffith Stadium's tenderly
nhrsed turf to inaugurate another
season. Washington's team, as now
constituted, isn't prepared for more
than stiff battle to land in the
first division, but with one altera-
tion it could become a highly re-
spected club.
The glaring gap exists at short
stop, where Johnny Sullivan has
demonstrated his caliber isn't classy.
The Mats bosses, apparently in all
attempt to cover a sore spot, have
talked glowingly of Johnny's field
ing. but after 16 exhibition games
Sullivan's sparkle has dimmed.
Sullivan is an ordinary fielder who
can't APPROACH the fielding f1nesse of
Billy Hitchcock, sent by the Mats to
the st. Louis Browns on waiver.
That's a deal which is haunting the
Mats, for Sullivan now represents
the best shortstop Washington can
muster and the best isn't good
enough.
Christman, Peters Considered.
President Clark Griffith and Man
ager Ossie Bluege desperately are
trying to locate a replacement for
Sullivan and a deal is brewing be-
tween the st. Louis Browns and
Mats. Bill Dewitt, general manager
Of the Browns, was here yesterday
conferring with Griffith and trade
may be announced momentarily.
st. Louis is requesting s25,000 for
Mark Christman, who has played
every inf1eld position with the
Browns. Thirty-two years old,
Christman is a right-handed batter
who is recognized as one of the
leagues better third basemen, but
Griffith is reluctant to meet the
Browns price.
Also under discussion has been
Russ Peters, also a 32-year-old in
fielder who has seen service with
the Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia
Athletics and Browns. A polished
shortstop, Peters is right t-handed
batter with more potentailities than
Sullivan. # @ a.
While discussions still are in a
preliminary stage, the Browns are
known to have offered Christman
and Peters to the Mats for an un-
identified pitcher.
Replacement Sorely Needed.
Bluege is eager to obtain at least
one more infielder. Sullivan, bat
ting .12S in spring training games,
represents Washington's only legiti-
mate shortstop, and should he re-
quire replacement 1t would neces-
state shifting Second Baseman
Jerry Priddy to shortstop and play
ing either Eddie Lyons or George
Myatt at second base.
That is situation Bluege wants
to avoid. Sullivan, playing despite
a slight rupture, could be sidelined
at any moment with an aggravation
of the injury, all of which would
disrupt the club Bluege desires
protection against that possible oc-
currence.
The Mats are willing to pay 10000
for Christman, which constitutes a
change of heart by Washington
bosses. Weeks ago they could have
bought him at the waiver price of
$4,000, but rejected him. Christ
man batted .258 with the Browns
last season while playing third base
and shortstop and has a lifetime
major league average of .26o.
Idle yesterday, the Mats were to
face the Pittsburgh Pirates here
today, with Mickey Haefner and
Early Wynn slated to pitch for
Washington. The Philadelphia
Phillies will invade tomorrow for
two games here,

HOW THEY'LL FINISH

nant for the st. Louis Cardinals
will be a resounding upset in the
National League. The game, gal
liant Redbirds who came from
seven and one-half games behind
to overcome the Dodgers and to
topple the favored Red Sox in the
World Series are better than ever
this year. At least that's the way
they looked in training at st.
Petersburg and that's the way
they look on paper.

FAKETAx BILL OPPOSED
BY REP. MANSFIELD

ashington-House Democrats, in
Guiding Rep. Mike Mansfield, Montana
First District, last week doomed aid
to upper bracket taxpayers by sus-
tanning President Truman's veto of
the tax cut bill. Cong. D'Ewart voted
for overriding the veto.
Effective next month, the bill would
have provided Withholding tax relief
ranging from 80 per cent on incomes
of $1,000 to 1912 per cent on larger
incomes. Under its terms a taxpayer
making $25O0 would have saved less
than $50 per year, while one with an
income of hundred thousand dollars,
would have saved about $4,000.
Though 35 poll tax Democrats cross
ed party lines to vote with Republi-
cans, minority of 1877, including Mans
field, was sufficient to deny the two
thirds majority necessary to save the
1947 tax fraud measure.
