Jack Millan, associate sports editor of the Tulane Hullabaloo, is pioneering a movement to start a 150-pound football league In Louisiana colleges and universities and sports editors of the local dailies are vehemently behind his plan.

When an American league manager can talk about a tight pennant race, that's a real threat. So It's no won -der that Fred Haney, hoes of the up and-comlng St. Louis Browns, beamed today when he talked about th forthcoming scramble In his circuit. "We are going to have a real good scrap," Haney said. "The days of a standout club In our league are over for a while anyway." "My own club showed signs of coining to life last season.

We finished sixth hut we had plenty to say Hbnut the pennant race, giving the Indians and Yankees enough trouble to knock them out of the race. I evpect we'll be better this season how much better will depend on our pitching staff." He wouldn't predict the winner but named the Indians and Yanks as the two top clubs on the advance dope. "Cleveland definitely Is a Haney said. "They have plenty of -possibilities but they also have plenty of problems. No club can go through.

And let tell you they are going to miss' Coach Johnny Bassler, who had con- siderable to do with the success of the Indians' pitching staff, and I'm not excluding Bob Feller. "The Yankees are somewhat of a question mark. If McCarthy has to experiment a lot with his infield and pitching staff, he may have a lot of trouble.

However. If he gets his club set at the start of the campaign and doesn't have to make' a lot of shifts, then you must count the Yanks the team to Haney forsees a wild scramble for me uwier iwo ursi Division Dertns among the Tigers, Red Sox, Browns, White Sox and maybe the Senators. The only club he rates as a weak sister is the Athletics. "If the Tigers lose Hank Greenberg to the army In June." Haney said, "they can't definitely be counted out of the pennant race. I can see them with that Infield and without Hunk's big hat.

I think It was Hunk who won the pennant for them last year. "The Red Sox have -got to have' some pitching to make a real pen-. nant bid and I don't think they have it. The White Sox always surprise everybody. I've got to take my hat off to Jimmy Dykes.

I think he docs the best Job of managing in the country. The secret, of the White- Sox success Is their pitching, and I' don't know whether It's Dykes or Muddy Rucl who does the big Job If it's Ruel, then Dykes still should get the credit because he brought Ruel to the club." The big surprise of Haney's com ment was his high rating of Wash- lngton, named by him as the "mosfc Improved club in the league." "They have four good he said. "1 mean Hudson, Chase. Leonard and Masterson, a kid who came on fast at the finish of last' season. They also helped their In field by getting Chapman and Cramer, and George Archie from.

MOREHEAO t'nited Press Staff Correspondent Austin, Texas, March 8 (U.R). Some of its better-known track stars are gone, but the Southwest conference will present several well-rounded teams this spring. Fred Wolcott of Rice and Boyce Gatewood of Texas made the head lines for three seasons with their timber topping, and Wolcott' won all the honors. Both no longer are eligible for Intercollegiate competl tion. Despite Wolcott's prowess.

Rice lost the conference championship to Texas last year and the Longhorns are likely to retain their supremacy this spring. Coach Clyde Littlefield of Texas thinks that the 1941 season will bring keener competition than most of of its predecessors, and that the meets may be decided on second and third-place points. 1 Texas Strong in Sprints Texas, for Instance, is strong In the sprints. It has Lonnle Hill, Fred Ramsdell, and Carlton Terry In the 9.6 class for the 100-yard dash and all are relatively proficient in the 220. Mac Umstattd, a sophomore, looks like a record-breaker In the half-mile; and Dave Small may re place Beefus Bryan of Texas as king of the Southwest pole vaulters.

Jack Hughes holds every Southern discus record and last year missed the national mark by only a few Inches. Despite these assets, Texas probably will be weaker as a squad than in 1940. The hurdles, long races, and shotput are gaps that need to be filled. Rice has considerable rebuilding to do, but has a nucleus for a good team In Joe Blagg, sprinter, and Jim Deal, a weight man. Southern Methodist's track fortunes have been rising, and the trend is expected to continue this year.

The Mustangs are good In the short races and in the mile and two-mile, where Fletcher Gibson holds forth. Texas Aggies Have Smith The Texas Aggies have been at low ebb for several years, but report a good corps of sophomores, fair hurdlers, and Earl (Alabama) Smith to carry their colors in the springs. Smith is a football player, whose fleetness has been the deciding factor In several A. M. games during the last two years.

Baylor's track team will be built around Dub Walters, the conference's outstanding high Jumper, and Jack Wilson, the all-around athlete who is among the better shot putters. Texas Christian's team has no first-place winners in sight, and Arkansas probably will depend upon Its distance runners to win points at the conference meeting. The four major Southwest tournaments are as follows: March 7, Border Olympics at Laredo, Texas, March 15, Fat Stock Show meet at Fort Worth, Texas. April 5, Texas Relays at Austin, Texas. May 9 and 10, Southwest conference meet at Austin, Texas.
