Temporarily Drop
Talks on Shormon

The Mats and Brooklyn Dodg-
ers temporarily have broken of
discussions centering around Bill
Sharman, right-handed hitting
outflelder sought by Washington,
but will resume trade talk in
Florida late next month, Vice

, today.
"Sharman won't be available
until after the National Basket
ball Association season ends in
mid-March." Grifith said. "and
if his team (the Boston Celtics)
gets in the playoff, it will be
later than that"
Brooklyn pleaded for more
time to get outflelderS assigned
to it's farm clubs at st. Paul and
Montreal. If the Dodgers can't
find an adequate replacement
for Sharman at st. Paul, where
he batted .294 last season, the
deal may be blocked.
Sharman, former All-America
basketball player at Southern
California. is the NBA's fifth
leading scorer.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-If Ralph
Kiner, the National Leagues
home run king fo~ the last seven
years, leaves The Pittsburgh
Pirates, he probably will go to
the Cincinnati Reds or Boston
Braves.
Out of the wave Of reports cir
culated during the maeov league
meetings here over the week end
came these two definite facts
concerning a deal for the 30
year-old Slugger:
/. The Reds have offered
Pittsburgh five players, valued by
Vice President Gabe Paul of
Cincinnati at $500, 900, for Kiner.
2. The Braves have handed
Branch Hickey, general manager
of the Pirates. long list of play
ers whom they are willing to
include in deal for the home
run hitter.

There were other reports that
Brooklyn and the Phillies also
were interested in Kiner but they
were denied by top club officials.
And still another had Wild
Mathews. personnel director of
the Chicago Cubs, Offering $780,
600 for the Pittsburgh star.
The offers of the Reds and
Braves fit in with Rickey's pat
tern of disposing of ailing top
notch players and rebuilding
with younger talent.
Hickey, postmaster at dou-
BILE talk, refused to say what
players had been offered or even
with what clubs he had dis
cussed a possible DEAL
let's put it this way" he
said. "A deal for Kiner definitely
is contemplated and is nearer
completion than "a hours ago,
but it will not be completed as
soon as another "a hours.
II am not interested in cash.
i want young players who can
help us. That is the only reason
Kiner is on the market"
Paul declined to identify the
Reds players, but said they all
were highly regarded and could
play regularly for Pittsburgh.
It was learned from an authori-
tatiVe source that three of the
players were Pitcher Harry Per-
kowski. Infielder Grady Hatten
and OutfieIder Joe Adcock.

SMU Seeks Coach
After Russell Tires
.0f Wolves Attacks
BY the Asseeiuted Press

DALLAS, Feb. a. Southern
Methodist University. which
never has fired a football coach,
was looking for one today to
replace H. N. (Rusty) Russell,
who resigned under pressure
after two losing seasons.
Russell, third Southwest Con-
ference coach to quit in less than
three months, stepped out last
night with the simple state
ment that cit is too big job
to coach football and have to
answer criticism at the same
time"
Russell had been head coach
of SMU three years and had
three years to go on his con-
tract. He said he had been paid
off by the university and indi-
Gated he would get the full
amount for the three remaining
years. His salary was believed
to be about $4,000 year.
DR.. E. D. Mouzon. jr., chair
man of the Faculty Committee
on Athletics, said the committee
regretted Russell's resignation.
The committee is expected to
start considering replacement
for Russell Immediately.
Under Fire Since 1850.
The cry for a new coach at
SMU began in the middle of the
1850 season when the Methodists,
then rated No. in the Nation
after beating Notre Dame, lost
to4 Texas in a game that saw
SMU do little except pass. 1t
was lack of a versatile offenSe
and an inept defense that got
the wolves" on the SMU coach.
In 1850 Southern Methodist
won six games and lost four. In
1851 the record was three victor
les. six defeats and one tie. Last
fall, the Methodists won four
games, lost five and tied one and
finished third in the conference
race-the : highest they had
placed in the league in four
years.
Russell said he hoped to con-
tinue in coaching, but thought
it. was too late to make a con-
nection for next fall.
Follows Douglas and Meyer.
Otis Douglas resigned as
coach at Arkansas in November
after three poor seasons. Bow
den Wyatt of Wyoming sue
ceeded Douglas. Dutch Meyer
retired as coach at Texas Chris
tian in December and was sue
ceeded by Abe Martin, his chief
assistant. Meyer now is ath-
letic director at TCU.
1t was reported about a month
ago that ex-students were rails
ing a fund to pay Russell off on
his contract. But Russell said
he had not been approached by
the former students and that his
dealings had been with the uni
versity only.
Russell. who started coaching
in 1922, coached in Texas high
school football until 1945, when
he became assistant coach at
SMU. He served as first as
sistant to Matty Bell until 1850.
He was advanced to head coach
when Bell decided to continue as
athletic director only.

10 Rows Of Seats
May Be Installed;
Decision Due Soon
BY Burton Hawkins

The Mats are seriously con-
sidering" construction Of 10 rows
of permanent seats in left and
centerfield at Griffith Stadium,
which would decrease the dis
lance to those sectors of the
playing field from Is to 20 feet.
Vice President Calvin Griffith
admitted today.
well make a definite deci-
sion on that this week." said
Griffith. who added that the club
would gain an additional 1000
seats if the contemplated con-
struction of outf1eld seats gets
the green light. We're all set
to CO." Griffith added. "but there
are several things I want to talk
over with Eddie Eynon Mats
secretary before work begins"
Griffith said current construc-
ton which is Transforming the
rightfield pavilion into grand
stand seats plus the addition Of
outfield seats. would boost Crit
fifth Stadium's seating capacity
to about 10000" Although the
seating capacity of the stadium
has been listed officially in the
past as 29,731. Griffith said &C
tually it has been about $1,000.
Must Leave Room for Cage.
The new outfield seats would
not be flush with the leftfielA
foul line. I'VE have to be able
to get the batting cage through
the gate at the leftfield corner"
Griffith said, so we'll have to
leave enough room between the
new construction and the gate
to wheel in the cage. I'd say
we'd start about 80 feet from
the foul line and stop short of
the centerfield flag pole so as not
to interfere with the vision of
batters.
The Mats vice president said
present plans call for the railing
fronting the outfield seats to be
topped by screen. but that Is
subject to change,
Should the Mats open the sea-
son even with temporary seats
in the outf1eld they will have to
remain there for the entire sea-
son. The club opened the 1850
season with temporary seats in
front of the leftf1eld bleachers,
but yanked them quickly when
it worked to the teams disad-
vantage. A league rule now die
tates that seats installed at the
start of the season must remain
throughout the year.
Shortening the leftfield fence
should help Eddie Yost. Jackie
Jensen and Ken Wood on our
club" Griffith said. "Yost and
Jensen have hit many a deep ball
to left which would have been
home runs in less spacious
parks"
May Be Cut to 371 Feet.
At it's shalloweSt point. the
Mats left-centerf1eld fence il
391 feet. The distance to the
left-field corner would remain an
impressive 405 feet. and a drive
to the flagpole in center still will
have to carry 408 feet, but at its
shallowest point the fence may
be reduced to 371 feet.
The change will be welcomed
by the leagues right-handed
power nitters, including Gus
Zernlal and Eddie Joost Of the
Athletics, Walt Dropo Of the tt
gers, AL Rosen of the Indians
and Mickey Mantle of the YAM
KEGS, who bats right-handed only
when opposed by a left-handed
pitcher.
Clark Griffith. the Mats boss
who left for Washington's spring
training headquarters at Or
lando. Fla, yesterday, approved
plans for the change before his
departure.

CIV Slight Fayorite
Over Maryland Five;
Seeded Berth at Stake

tournament in March unless the

morrow nights game at WASH

squads virtually sure of a place
in the eight-team tournament in
Raleigh. but a team has much
better chance to win the title
if it finishes among the first
four in the regular season stand
ings. That assures an easier
flrst-round opponent and would
mean, for instance. that CIV
would not have to play. North
Carolina State or West Virginia
in the first round. as both the
Wolfpack and the Mountaineers
are almost sure Of seeded posi-
tionS.
George Washington already
has lost three conference games,
two to N. C. State and one to
West Virginia. and it hardly
could win a seeded berth with
four defeats.
Terps Have One Loss.
Maryland has a much better
chance Of being seeded as the
Terps have lost only one con-
ference game out of eight and
their remaining schedule is not
too tough, although they must
meet CIV again.
There was little change in the
conference standings last week.
1t still appears that North Caro-
lima. N. c. State, Maryland, West
Virginia, George Washington and
Wake Forest definitely will be in
Raleigh. The other two places
are between Richmond, Furman
and Duke. although Clemson is
making a bid and can pull with
in half game of Duke by beat
ing South Carolina tonight.
George Washington continues
to lead the Nation on offense
but one Of its challengers is
Furman, a conference rival. Fur
man scored Ill points against
Georgia Tech Saturday night to
close in on the Colonials.
Colonials Slight Favorite.
Tomorrow nights game at
Washington-Lee High in Arling-
ton will find George Washington
a slight favorite. The teams
played only one game last year
and George Washington won
that, 57-56.
Meanwhile, in the conference
scoring race, Furman's Frank
Selvy moves into the final month
of the regular season with a two
polntS-per-game advantage over
his nearest rival.
Selvy'S average for Furman's
eight conference games is 26.9.
Wake Forests Dickie Hemric,
currently the No. 2 scorer, has
averaged 24.9 in the Deacon's
eight games.
Joe Holup of CIV is third with
a 21-point average and Jack
Williams of Wake Forest is
fourth with 200 points. ahead of

armistice talks recessed until

corece unwilling prisoners to re-
turn to unwanted masters"
Harrison said he asked for the
three-day recess for "administra-
tive reasons" He declined to elab-
crate.
Observers pointed out the re-
cess would provide an opportun-
ity for top-level conferences at a
time when criticism Of the US.

Science to Explore
"UnknoWn Sea-
South of Aleutians

LA JOLLA, Calf, Up - Plans
were announced here Saturday for
exploration of an unknown sea"
in the Pacific Ocean. The Univer-
sity Of CALIFORNIA; Scripps Insti-
tuition of Oceanography said its
research ship Spencer c. Baird
would carry scientists on the ex-
petition this summer and fall.
Warren S. Wooster, who will
head the expedition, described
the scientifically unknown sea as
lying generally south of the outer
Aleutian Islands and east of
Japan.
Robert S. Dietz, US. Navy cleo
tronics laboratory oceanographer
now in Japan, suspects we may
well run into the deepest spot in
the ocean"
The Baird will sail July II and
explore north into the Boring Sea,
investigating among other things
the disappearing volcanic island
of Bogoslof.
Then, it will turn south in the
unknown area, about which Woo
ster reported "there are no ocean
ographic data at all"
Scientists, during the 10000
mile trip, will complete survey
Of the main North Pacific cur
rents and tackle what the an
nouncement described as zone Of
the most complex and fascinating
research problems of the sea-to
what extent are marine creatures
prisoners of their environments"
In other words, what controls
the abundance or scarcity of Ger
tain kinds of fishes in different
areas.
It is not yet known how differ
ent fishes react to subtle changes
in ocean environment; if, for ex-
ample, an increase in the salinity
of the ocean would cause some to
avoid the area.
''Such knowledge" the amour
cement added, ''would probably
solve many fisheries problems of
economic importance, such as the
catastrophe failure Of the Cali
