VOLUNTEER FIREMEN
 ELECT NEW OFFICERS

The Volunteer Fire Department met last evening and elected new officers who are: Al Doyle, presi- dent; Chuck Lewis, vice president and Bob Lewis, secretary.
 One of the problems discussed at the meeting was the crowding in of curious people including many children at fires and hin- dering the firemen. AS the vol unteer firemen number only IT members and each has a desig mated job, some new volunteers or special details will have to be assigned to hold back the crowds at fires.

Sessions Open
For Organizing
OF NFL Players

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (R.--
Player representatives of at least
10 of the IL National Football
League teams will begin a two
day session today In an attempt
to set up an organization similar
to the one in major league
baseball.
Creighton Miller, Cleveland
attorney and one-time Notre
Dame halfback. will meet with
the group and provide legal
guidance. But Miller said "tha
players will set their own policies
and make their own decisions"
While a complete agenda has
not been decided on, the basic
requests to be made of NFL club
owners will include payment for
time spent in training camp or
for playing IN exhibition games,
Insurance and retirement BEN
eflts. Il
Hecker at Sessions
Representatives scheduled to
attend the sessions include Norb
Hecker. Washington Redskins;
Bill Pellington, Baltimore Colts.
Jack Jennings, Chicago Cardi-
mails; Kyle Rote. New York
Giants; Adrian Burk, Philadel-
phia Eagles; Joe Schmidt. De-
troit Lions; Don Colo. Cleveland
Browns; Bill Howton. Green Bay
Packers, and Norm Van Brock
lin, Los Angeles Rams.
WED like to protect the kids
who come to camp and don't
make the team" Rote said. "A
lot of those boys make sacrifices.
They leave their families and
maybe other jobs to try to make
good in pro football. We think
they should get some compensa-
ton even If they're not good
enough to make it.
Every regular knows that
when he signs his contract he is
signing for six or seven exhibit
tions as well as regular season
games.
I'VE also would like to sit in
on meetings when equipment
and rule changes are made. We
think this would benefit the play
ers and the league"
Browns, Rams Make Offers
There are indications that the
players determination to band
together for their mutual bene-
fit already has borne fruit. The
Cleveland Browns have agreed to
pay a weekly salary during the
exhibition season next year. The
salary will be figured in the regu-
lar contract for those who make
the team. But those who fail
will be paid for their time and
work in trying out.
The Rams also have offered O
plan calling for payment of
training camp expense money for
the first time, an increase in
meal allowance while on the road
and disqualification and insur-
ance plan. Van Brocklin said
earlier. however. that the Rams
players would not decide whether
to accept or reject the proposal
until after his return from the
