By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 19. Coach
Frank Leahy of Notre Dame de-
fends the tryout system for
which the university was CEN
sured and reprimanded by the
National Collegiate Athletic AS
sociation.
He told a Chicago Tribune
reporter at South Bend that
"try-outs are not an evil"
Stressing that he was speak
ing only for himself, Leahy con-
tinued: investigations and cor
rective measures should start at
the heart of the trouble, with
the two big evils in intercolle-
giate football. Those evils are:
Irregular recruiting and not in
Sisting that an athlete work to-
ward a legitimate degree"
"Tryouts at Notre Dame have
been limited to putting the boy
in a sweat suit and football shoes
and asking him only to run,
lunge, throw, kick and catch, y
Leahy explained. In a majority
of cases. the tryoutS are sought

DurOcher, Umpire
Separated ForcibIY
By the Assoeiuied Pres.

BROOKLYN. Aug. 18.-Um-
pire Jocko Conlan broke up a
second-inning argument between
Umpire Tom German and Man
ager Leo Durocher of the Giants
last night by pulling Durocher
away and then pushing German.
No blows were struck.
German, umpiring behind the
plate in the first game of a series
between the Giants and Brook
lyn, had called time and issued
warnings to Durocher and
Charlie Dresser. the Dodgers
manager, after an inside pitch
by Al Worthington forced Roy
Campanella to hit the dirt.
Gormans asked Durocher and
Dresser to meet him near the
plate. Durocher didn't bulge
from the dugout. German finally
entered the dugout, then came
back to talk with Dresser and
with Wes Westrum, the New
York catcher.
Durocher came out of the
dugout and started jawing with
German. At this point. Conlan,
the umpire in chief, broke it up.
After a l0-minute delay Campa-
nella resumed batting and
doubled. ...
A pitch at Campanella's head
by Lew Burdette of Milwaukee
recently brought a new directive
from Warren Giles, league pres
ident, warning umpires and
managers against knockdown
pitches.

will be back for the fall meeting,
November 18-December S.
Donald c. Lillis, president,
announced today that John B.
Campbell is returning as racing
secretary and Hampton Magfu-

Campbell was Bowie's first rae
ing secretary and now is dean
OF the profession in the United
States. He came back in the
spring of 1852 after a long abb
sence, but couldn't remain for
the fall meeting because of his
similar job in New York.
Magruder fought to get Bowie
opened and was it's first presi-
dent. He started the track un-
der an old law requiring a petit
ton of 25 local residents. Twice
during the next four years the
law was held unconstitutional,
but Magruder kept the track 60
ing until 1920, when he succeed
ed in having the legislature pass
a law making racing legal in
Maryland,
Magruder remained as presi-
dent until 1947, when he re-
signed. -Four years later, the
track owners got tied up in a
court squabble over control and
Magruder was named receiver.
Bowie last year was sold to a
syndicate headed by Lillis.
IAN important fact in connec-
ton with Campbell's engage
ment," Lillis said, sis that New
York racing closes down on No
