SOUTH BEND, Ind, Dec. B.
Unbeaten Notre Dame may be in

football finale with Southern
Methodist. Johnny Druze, Irish

Druze is certain that the ma

the capacity crowd of $4,000 in

sensational, wide-open game.
The kickoff will be 2 pm. (EST).
When those Texans make up
their minds to do something they
usually succeed" said Druze, a
fellow not accustomed to talking
with tongue in cheek.
Southern Methodist has moth
ing to lose in this last game of
the season and a great deal to
gain by knocking us off," Druze
continued. "This in itself is a
healthy situation for them"
Can Expect Anything.
"We've always found in the
past that we can expect any
thing from Southern Methodist.
Maybe I can throw away my
scouting reports. They un-
doubtedly will throw stuff at us
that they have been saving all

I'VE can expect spread forma-

Owners 10 Vote
On Ternliinatinq
Entire Program
Flureup Develops
After Frick Burs
Players Attorney
By the Assoeioted Press


Strained relations between major
league players and club owners
reached the swapping point to-
day, with the players pension
fund likely to be junked as a
result.
The bitter breach developed
yesterday after 16 player repre-
sentatives of the major league
clubs refused to attend a Sched-
uled meeting with Ford Prick,
baseball commissioner, because
their attorney. j. Norman Lewis,
had been barred.
Frick then disclosed that the
major league Executive Council
is considering termination of the
multi-million dollar pension
plan.
Club Owners to Vote.
Frick revealed that the major
league club owners, at their
annual meeting in New York
next week, will vote on a reso-
luton that could dissolve the en-
tire pension plan within 80 days
although the present f1ve-year
program does not expire until
1856.
One major league official, who
asked not to be identified, de-
nounced the players and said he
is ready to abandon the entire
pension plan. '"They want ev-
erything and put in nothing"
he declared. "Some of the own
ers are in favor of chucking the
whole thing. The players don't
realize that most of the owners
lost money last year and some
of them are skating on thin ice.
1.-THE players have gone too
far this time" the official con-
tinued. First they want high
er minimum salary. then cut
down night games, then elimi-
nate night games in spring train
ing, then give the rights of 10
year men to 8-year men. Now
they want to increase their pen
sion benefits while lowering the
age retirement at cost of near
ly So million. Well, they've
asked for a showdown and this
is it."
Invited to Meeting.
Frick invited player represen-
tatives here at baseball's ex-
pense to discuss the future of
the pension plan. He said that
Is minutes before the proposed
meeting yesterday, Allie Reyn-
olds and Ralph Kiner, American
and National League player rep
resentatives, respectively, re-
quested that Lewis be admitted.
II told them that was not pos
sible," Frick said.
Frick said he felt he had the
right to summon any one he
wanted-player o. club official
in the interests of baseball, with
out any outsider present.
Kiner and Reynolds contended
that Lewis was their legal coun-
sci and they advised Frick that
the players had unanimously
voted that Lewis must be adj
mitted or they would not attend
themselves. Kiner explained the
players felt they could not COM
prehend the legal technicalities
of the pension fund. 'They felt
they were entitled to and needed
the presence of our lawyer. Z"
Kiner said. "It's the American
way"
Players Await Next Move.
Asked what the next step
would be. Kiner said: Were just
going to wait. I don't know
what's going to happen"

parted for their homes except

NIGHT FOOTBALL MAY Be ENDED
HERE IF LIGHTS CANNOT Be FIXED

Possibility that night football in
Port Clinton may have to be dis
continued in the near future was
seen this week when the Board of
Education discussed the problem
at its last meeting.
Fireman from Fremont or San
dusky will be asked to bring their
extension ladders here again this
fall in order that the lights may
be adjusted. 1t is practically i'm
possible for a lineman to climb
the poles and work upon the lights
under the present conditions.
Supt. D. D. Sims reports it Will
be necessary to provide some new
equipment if we are to continue
with night football. According to
a Westinghouse Engineer, the type
of equipment now used by high
schools would cost ten or twelve
thousand dollars.
When the local system was in
stalled in August, 1941, its cost of
So, 800 was raised by popular sub
scription. In planning new light
ing system, an outfit should be in
stalled the life of which would be
greater than IL years.
Steel poles are practically inde-
structible, but are much more ex
pensive.
It is difficult for the Board of
Education to know what the com
munity desires in lighting facilities
pertaining to the athletic program.
In order that you might be given
an opportunity to express your
views, the Board is holding an
open meeting Thursday evening,
July 2, at 7:30 in the high school
auditorium for the purpose of dis
cussing the numerous problems
connected with this project.
Consider this as your invitation
to attend the meeting. Individuals,
representative of clubs and or
ganizations are invited.
