BOOK BINDING.

(Fronl G. E. s., WaShingt0n)
To Mrs. c. C. F., Arlington: Re-
garding the binding of your old
books. permit me to suggest that
you visit the G. P. O. bindery
section Government Printing
Office, Branch building) of the
Library of Congress (new build
ing) and see how the work is done
1t takes years of apprenticeship
and more years of experience to
learn how to properly bind a book
and it requires skill, practice and
hard work to bind in leather.
I advise you to repair your old
bindings, but do not take the book
apart as the thread used in sewing
the book is glued to the binding
under the covers.
Although, I have had many
years experience in preparing old
books for re-binding, I would not
try to bind one, for it requires
special tools, materials and presses,
as we'll as a skilled book binder.

(Fronl Mrs. H. E. M,

A suggestion to some one who
has black marks on her tea towels
after drying pans. I keep an extra
clean, dry dish towel for my pans.
If there are any traces that are
not washed or secured off, your
towels are free. Marks always
come out of dish clothes because
you have them frequently in suds.

Yanks Rich in Reserves.
AS for the Yankees, they are
the current champions. So natu-
rally they have to be considered
the team all the rest of us have
to beat.
Some teams have slumped after
winning a pennant. The Cleve-
land team Of last year was not
the exception to the rule, by any
means. But I doubt very much
if the Yankees will experience such
slump. They have a bench
loaded with capable reserves. II
any of the regulars show signs OF
having a poor year Casey Stengel
can always replace them with a
capable player.
The Yanks should be especially
formidable previous to May Is and
after September Is. During those
periods they can use more than
Is players. And that extra talent
very easily may become the de-
termining factor in the race.

the league should be better bal
anced this year. Instead of hav-
ing a two-team struggle down
the stretch, as was the case last
year, or a three-team battle to
the wire as the Cleveland Indians,
the New York Yankees and the
Red Sox had in 1948, I look for
a five-club fight for the flag this
year with the Detroit Tigers and
the Philadelphia Athletics figuring
in the battle royal.
Tigers Appear Most Improved.
The most improved club in the
league is likely to be Detroit. The
Tigers have looked good to me in
spring training They have five
excellent starting pitchers in Hal
Newhouser. Virgil Trucks, Fred
Hutchinson, Ted Gray and Art
Houtteman. They have the best
third baseman in the league in
George Kell. They have added
strength at second base by &C
quiring Gerry Priddy. And they
have a well-balanced outfield in
Hoot Evers, Johnny Groth and
Vic WertZ.
If Dick Kryhoski comes through
at first base, the Tigers will have
more punch and a tighter inf1eld
to go with the good pitching they
are sure to get. That makes a
fought combination to beat.
Several veteran members of the
Cleveland team suffered a slump
at the same time last year. That's
something which frequently hap
pens after a team wins a pennant
But the Indians are still studded
with talent. Lou Boudreau, Joe
Gordon, Dale Mitchell, Larry Dolby
and Jim Hogan are outstanding
ball players. And if they should

NCAA Basketball Final
Sought by Minnesota
For New Fie|dhouse
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO. April 4.-Minnesota
celebrating its centennial year in
1851, has entered strong overtures
for the NCAA basketball cham
pionship tourney next March.
The Gophers' bid, backed by
guaranteed accommodations in a
new and one of the Nations finest
fleldhouses. will be considered to-
day by the NCAA's Executive
Committee. Boxing tourney sites
and dates also may be considered
for 1851.
Sanity Code Before Board.
Minnesota's request has been
filed with the Advisory Tourney
Committee. headed by Dutch Lon
borg, new director of athletics at
Kansas, If successful, the move
would shift the NCAA title play
out of New York's Madison Square
Garden and center it in the Mid
west for the first time.
Although Minnesota would like
to have the basketball champion
ship showdown. its application for
consideration calls for only some
part in the NCAA tourney series.
The Executive Committee meet
ing touches off three days Of
NCAA business to be climaxed to-
morrow and Thursday by a study
of its sanity code by representa-
tives of 10 conferences.
Recommendations are to be
made to make the code, which
sharply restricts recruiting, more
pliable.
Byrd Plan Well Backed.
The action follows a resolution
by Harry c. Byrd. Maryland pres
ident, adopted at the New York
convention last January calling
for a study of athletic policies
throughout the country. He con-
tends the present code fails to
take cognizance of employment
and enrolment differences. He is
firmly backed by the Southern,
Southeastern and Southwestern
Conferences. which tab the code
as a sham.
Current violators of the code
are The Citadel, which resigned
from the NCAA; Villanova, Vir-
ginia, Virginia Tech and v. M. I.
Two others, Maryland and Bos-
ton College. have been restored
to good standing.
Clemson and South Carolina
have been unoff1cially cited as not
being in compliance. However,
they have not been formally
brought to the attention of NCAA
headquarters.
