MCKINLEY Facing Ban
By AAU for Cutting
DATE in Australia
BY the Associated Press

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 8.-Herb
McKenley, world record holder at
400 meters, today faced suspension
by the AAU for failing to live up
to promise to race in Australia.
Dick Hudson, secretary of the New
Jersey AAU, said he has a letter
from National Secretary Dan Ferris
requesting the New Jersey section
to suspend McKenley. pending "a
satisfactory explanation" of his &C
ton.
McKenley, a native of Jamaica,
B. w. l., completes under the colors
of the Long Branch IN. j. Athletic
Club.
Hudson said the suspension of Nc
Henley would be carried out Mon
DAY which, he explained is the
earliest date he can call the regis
tration committee into session.
Meanwhile, however. McKenley has
been barred from competing in the
knights of Columbus track meet
scheduled for Brooklyn tonight.
In the letter, Ferris said in part:
"McKenley accepted an invitation
on behalf of the Australian AAU to
compete in Australia on January
1916. One of the conditions was
that he arrive in Australia before
January 8. A reservation was made
for him to fly from San Francisco
along with Lloyd La Beach on jan
uary 2.
"McKenley agreed to all condi-
tons :. At the same time he
filed his entry for the Brooklyn
Council knights of Columbus meet.
A dispatch has come through from
Washington that he Is entered to
run in a meet (The Evening Star
AAU) there on January is.
will you please submit this mat
ter to your registration committee
and suspend him pending an ex-
PLANTATION of his failure to fulfill his
obligation to the Australian AAU?
I have checked and found that it
would be impossible for him to reach
Australia by plane before January
IA and the first competition Is sched-
uled for the 18th.
He would be without much sleep
for four days and therefore in no
condition to run. Under such cir
cumstances doubt if they would be
interested in going to the heavy ex-
penses Of bringing him there"
Ferris added that McKenley had
told him he would leave for Aus
tralia Immediately after tonight's
meet

CHICAGO, Jan. 8-The Chicago
Cardinals may invade the lair Of
their cross town rivals, the Bears,
and try to lasSo Luke JohnSos as
their head coach succeeding Jimmy
Councilman.
1t won't be the first time the
Cards have prowled for Johnsos,
George Halas' first lieutenant and
probably the highest paid assistant
in football. Six years ago. when
Councilman left the team to spend
the war years in the st. Louis
Browns front Office, the South-siders
asked Halas If he would release
Johnsos, who had been with Halas
since 1928.
Halas said mol" and that closed
the episode, Jolnsos said. Conzel-
mans assistant, Phil Handler.
member of the Cards as player and
coach since 1880, took over the team,
which was seriously weakened by
war time losses.
Johnsos, however, said today that
he wasn't told that the Cards had
sought his services until two years
later.
Hasn't Received Offer.
"No offer has been made to me
personally by the Cardinals, said
the astute Bear assistant, but If
an attractive one is made, I'll GER
tainly do lot of considering. I've
got a wife and five children and
any chance have to better myself
I'm going to take. But it will have
to be good offer before I leave
the Bears. I became a stockholder
in the Bears club last year. I want
to stay in Chicago"
Councilman rendered his resigna-
ton yesterday to enter the adver-
Using business in St. Louis. He
leaves a championship inheritance
to his successor, a team that won
the national league title in 1947 and
captured the 1948 Western Divis-
ion crown by edging out the Bears
in the last regular game to break a
tie.
Another strong potential candi-
date who will be considered when

board chairman Mrs. Violet Bidwill

Second Peace Session
Seen With AAC, NIL
Meeting in Chicago
Assoeiaied Press Sports Writer


NEW YORK, Jan. ga second
meeting of pro football club owners
to settle their cold cash war is a
distinct probability for Chicago on
or about January 20.
The 3-year-old All-America Con-
ference announced today that it's
annual business meeting would be
held in Chicago, starting January
Is. Previously the meeting had
been scheduled for New York Feb
ruary S.
National Football League owners
picked January 20 and Chicago as
the cate and site of their annual
meeting some time ago.
Owners Of the two circuits had
their first get-together at Phila-
delphia just before Christmas.
Five delegates from the A-A con-
ferred with the National Leaguers
then in the first public move to end
the financial struggle that has cost
owners in each circuit at least
million.
Way Cleared for Meeting.
Little was accomplished at Phila-
delphia, but the official announce
ment added that the way had been
cleared for future meetings.
Since the Philadelphia peace
meeting both circuits have gone on
as before. The battle for new talent
reached a peak for the year yester-
day when Johnny Rauch of Ala
bama, agreed to the terms offered
by Ted Collins, owner of the
orphaned Boston Yanks. Il
Rauch's draft rights in the ALL
America were held by the New York
Yankees. Collins, who said he lost
100000 in four years at Boston
before moving the club to New
York's Polo Grounds, is reported to
have given Rauch, one of the Ma
tion's better college passers last
season, a. $1,000 cash bonus and
car for signing the contract. The
pact repeatedly calls for $1,000 a
year for three years.
If the two leagues agree to an
armistice, it might take the form
of common draft. In that case
only one club would bid for a play
er's service. Or it might take the
form of 8 common, maximum draft
price.
Merger Anticipated.
There also have been reports
that the two leagues would merge,
with the circuit divided into two
sections. The most persistent of
these rumors would have the West
ern division made up of Cleveland
and San Francisco of the ALL
America, plus the Chicago Bears,
Chicago Cardinals, Green Bay and
the Los Angeles Rams of the pres
ent National setup.
The Eastern section would be
made up of the New York Giants,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Washing
ton, Detroit and the Boston Yanks
shifted to Yankee Stadium.

ANS SEEKS $700,000 TO CONVERT COASTAL
 RIDER TO ANS VESSEL

The Alaska Native Service will re- ceive S7OO GOO for converting ana outfitting a vessel for use as a service supply ship if an appropria- tion recommended by the Senate Appropriations Committee is allowed by Congress.
 The funds would be used for con- verting and outfitting the U.S.MS. Coastal Rider, which was recently asquired from surplus by the AL aska agency. It is planned that the vessel will replace the out worn and much smaller North Star for delivery of supplies and trans portation of pupils, patients and employees to and between Arctic and Aleutian Island stations where commercial shipping is not avaL- able
 The approved sum is contained i'll the Senate committee version Of the First Deficiency Bill which passed the House some weeks ago. As the measure passed tne House, the ap- propriation for the Coastal Rider was not included, and so it will be necessary for the final decision to be worked out in conference be- tween the House and the Senate.
