Sam West, who had. one of the
Nations more relaxing jobs as the
Mats third base coach for the last
two years, will not return to that
post. West revealed over long-dis-
tance telephone today that he is

One of baseball's more popular
figures, the 44-year-old West is in
business with Bobby Layne, the
former Texas University football
great who now is with the Chicago
Bears.
West, who launched his major
league career with Washington in
1927, could have returned to his job

Collins Tipped Hand
On Naming Of Ewart,
But Scribes Missed
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.-Owner
Ted Collins of the New York Bull
dogs tipped his hand on the clubs
new coach prior to Charley Ewart's
appointment but nobody caught on.
Ewart said today he was sur
prised that someone didn't guess
he would be the new coach after
Collins announced his team would
be nicknamed Bulldogs.
Il figured some sports writer
would put Ewart, Yale and Bulldog
together and come up with a nice
scoop. But nobody took the hint.
I guess they all were 700 busy
tracing down false rumors.'
In case you don't remember Ewart
was quite a quarterback for the
Yale Bulldogs. He graduated in
1887.
It seems that Collins had more
than one Bulldog in mind when he
decided to hire the youngest coach
in professional football.
Wants Seasoned Assistants.
Ewart pointed out that the Yale
Club in New York has a member
ship of some $1,000. And although
he didn't say it in so many words,
the former general manager and
backfield coach of the champion
Philadelphia Eagles indicated he
expected those alumni of Eli Yale
ito become fans of the New York
Bulldogs.
The 33-year-old Ewart evidently
plans to play out this Yale theme
to the limit. He spent a few min
utes today glancing through the
National Football League manual to
see If any team in the loop wore
royal blue uniforms-a takeoff on
Yale's light blue gridiron attire.
Collins just moved his franchise
from Boston, only a stones throw
from Harvard-Yale's bitterest rival
Talking in a more serious vein,
Ewart said he hoped to obtain his
assistants from the pro field.
Il need assistants who have had
experience in professional football
If it is possible to get them.
Bid for Eagles Ace Snubbed.
You know in the NFL one team
can't approach coach who already
is under contract with another
league team. In fact, that regula-
ton almost cost me my chance to
get the job with Collins"
Ewart explained that when he
heard Collins might be interested
in him, he went to the Eagles own
ers and told them he would like to
apply for the job, since it always
had been his ambition to become a
head coach.
They gave me the okay. I mott
fed Ted and "a hours later he told
me I was in"
Incidentally, Ewart added, my
first official act was to ask Greasy
Neale to trade me Steve Van Buren," 4"
What do you think Greasy said?"
Charley asked, and then answered
the question himself: why he ac-
cused me of being just like George
Halas of the Chicago Bears, want
ing everything he had for nothing.
We'll, you can't hate guy for
trying. We could climb mighty fast
in New York with Van Buren,"

Stenge| Calls Meeting
OF Coaches 10 Study
. Needs Of Yankees
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The New
York Yankees baseball board of
strategy plans a get-acquainted ses-
sim in st. Petersburg, Fla, late this
month to map out details of the
coming season.
First of all, Casey Stengel wants
to find out about the ball club he's
going to manage.
Stengel, in a surprisingly serious
mood, told reporters yesterday he
doesn't know much about the team,
except that it can't be as bad as
some Of the reports he heard last
year.
There is less wrong with the
Yankees than with any team I've
had" he declared. I'm supposed
to WIN with them and I think they
are going to win"
Stengel said he had called the
St. Petersburg get-together with his
coaches, Bill Dickey, Jim Turner
and Frank Crosetti.
They know more about the
Yankees than I do. I hope to get
a lot of things settled at this
meeting"
The new manager said it was his
idea to stay out of the trading mar
ket this winter.
Il wasn't convinced the players
the club wanted to trade off were
as hopeless as they had been pic
tured And we never were offered
anything that looked like an i'm
provement. There's still plenty of
time to trade. We have until June
Is and if any of our players by
then have convinced me they
haven't got it, they can be shipped
off just as well then as now"
Stengel ran the Oakland team of
the Pacific Coast League last sea-
son. The Yanks hired him to re-
place Bucky Harris.
