regained the title from Saddler

Colts Lose Interest
In Hart, Explaining
He's Not Interested
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 14.-The
Baltimore Colts said today
they won't seek Notre Danes
Leon Hart because they don't
think he's interested in play
ing pro ball"
The Colts had made the big
end their first draft choice in
the All-America Conference,
and the Detroit Lions held the
same tab on Hart in the Ma
tional League before the two
loops consolidated.
Abraham Watner, Colts
president, said today he had
notified Detroit it will not
contest the Lions for Hart at
next weeks meeting in Phila-
delphia.
I'VE made Hart a salary
offer and instead of giving us
a reply he told us to see his
agent" Watner reported. 1T
doesn't look as if he wants TO
play pro ball. We aren't 60
ing to deal with any player
through an agent"

All the NATL sessions will be
secret. The league meeting will
have it's kickoff at the Bellevue
Stratford Hotel at $50 pm. We'd
nesday when the Rules committee
gets together to adopt recommen-
dations for changes in field play.
Then at 10:30 am. Thursday,
Bell will bring the meeting to or

midnight, it'll be a surprise.
Each day from Thursday on,
the same procedure will be fol-
lowed. Present plans call for the
meeting to end Saturday, but no
one expects things to 60 so
smoothly that this will come to
pass.
Bell and his chief assistant,
Joseph Labrum, said they have
not decided on the order of bdsi-
ness. but indicated it probably will
follow parliamentary lines.
There are two known applica-
tions for franchises before the
meeting. These come from Buff
falo, N. Y. and Houston, Tex.
There may be more by Thursday.
But until any new club Is ad-
mitted, this is the NAILS make

New York Giants, New York
Bulldogs, Washington Redskins,
Baltimore Colts, Philadelphia
Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Chicago
Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Detroit
Lions, Green Bay Packers, Pitts
burgh Steelers, San Francisco

Argument Over Divisions.
These clubs are to be split into
divisions, to be known as the Ma
tional and American divisions. The
winners of the Leagues branches
will meet in a pro football world
series at the end of the season.
There is likely to be much con-
tention about the divisional struc-
ture. Paul Brown, coach of the
A-AC champion Browns, already
has served notice his club does not
intend to be paired with the
weaker league teams.
Several league owners are on
record as supporting Buffalo's bid
for league franchise, but even if
Buffalo is admitted, no one knows
whether the club will retain the
personnel it used during the 1949
A-AC season.
Under the league merger plan
the players for Buffalo, the Chi
cago Hornets and Los Angeles
Dons were tossed into a pool.
When the Yankees folded, the
Bulldogs were given the right to
sign all but six of their players
The Giants may dicker with six
of the Yankees. Which six never
has been said.
Affirmative vote by II of the /;
clubowners is required for the
disposition of any of these pooled
players.

posals will be brought before the

Natures Children
BY LiIIion Cox Athey

following leader makes you wonder
lust what causes the brown headed,
green uniformed leaf-eater to join
in the sturdily marching column,
going up or down the narrow stem.
After the drill is over, they settle
down facing the edge Of the leaf
on which they nibble.
After several weeks in the tree
the caterpillars become listless and
begin to lose weight and color.
Their remaining energy is used for
spinning the loose silk coon on a
fallen leaf. You can pick up these
fimsy winter retreats from the
ground under any wild cherry tree.
Survivors of the winter begin to
respond to the springs warmth by
June. The female is very handsome
with purplish-brown forewings
crossed with wavy white lines. On
each hind wing S a lovely peacock
eye. The male is a deep Naples
yellow with small black spot in
each forewing.
AS they wave their wings in the
air to fill the veins and dry before
a test flight, they remind you of a
blossom working its way through
sodden leaves.
The mother, an expert botanist,
flies to either a willow, maple or by
preference a wild cherry tree to
deposit her eggs on wood that will
soon be covered with leaves. The
brown headed bristly crew are
hungry for leaf tissue, losing no
time in satisfying their gnawing
feeling.

10 Caterpillar.


10 caterpillars are actually armed
to the teeth. From stem to stern
they are bristling with poisoned
spines. They are methodical in their
habits, greedy when it comes to wild
cherry leaves. The parents are
known as Zephyr Silk-mothS, due
to the beautiful wavy lines. on the
females wings. The caterpillar Is
known from Canada to Florida, he
is remembered by the singing and
swelling his briStle deliver If you
happen to brush against them. He
is mild by nature, much given to
following a leader. His efficient
armament is a guard against ex-
tinction. The cherry tree in which
he grows up is gathering place
for hundreds of birds seeking the
juicy fruit of the tree. If the green
fat caterpillarS were not barricaded
behind those tiny poisoned spines,
they would serve as juicy morsel.
The caterpillar really is beautiful.
The body of a fully grown larva is
two inches long, the ground color a
lovely glossy green with lateral
stripe Of pink edged with creamy
border. The clusters of spines are
branching. Because of their size,
the caterpillars are the carryall

the tender body laying their eggs in
it. Thousands are destroyed by
these enemies.
These caterpillars are fascinating
to watch. Their habit of marching

The bidding:

Pass 8 spades Pass spades

Opening lead, 10 of hearts.
1t is an interesting paradox that
O lie is sometimes the most effec-
tive way to tell the truth.
There are countless hands that
don't fall within a distinct cate
CORY and for which there is no
precise descriptive bid. In such
cases the call should be selected
which would most nearly describe
the outstanding characteristics of
the hand.
Sometimes ingenuity will be re-
quired and little white lie may
be the best way to paint a picture
for your partner.
In today's hand East opened
with one heart. Despite the fact
that the hand lacks the necessary
high cards, few modern players
would hesitate to make the bid.
South was presented with an i'm
mediate problem. Had he been
dealer he would have opened with
q very substantial two-spade bid.
This holding surely looks like
game in hand; South must, there
fore, make a bid which will insure
reaching a game contract and yet
allow for the possibility that the
hand might have to play in a
minor suit if partner happens to
he very short of spades and long
in either clubs or diamonds. If
South should double first and jump
the bid later, North might pass
II his hand were completely trick
less. The only way to make a 100
per cent game-forcing bid is to
"cue" the opponents suit. Such a
bid announces the ability to win
the first trick, but South decided
to tell this little white lie as the
best means of describing a hand
that was a game in itself. North
had no choice but to keep bidding
open, which at the time he founc
anything but pleasant.
A slip in the defense permitted
South to make the hand against
the very bad trump break. The ten
of hearts was opened and the suit
continued, South ruff1ng. The ace
of spades revealed the bad news
in trumps and South led the king
of clubs. West won and had he
retained the heart for a future
exit card the contract would have
been set, but he continued to force
declarer, who was now reduced tt
three trumps. All the high dia-
monds and clubs were now cashec
and West was given the lead with
q small trump. His last two card;
were the queen and ten of spades
from which he was obliged to leac
into declarer's tenace. The pos.
session of that little heart at thii
time would have. been a great
comfort.
