OP) Boston Coach Denny Myers put on a long face when he started talking about the Orange Bowl football game today, but he couldn't hide the twinkle in his eye.

Hardly had he come out with a doleful "Alabama should win" before he admitted grudgingly that the Eagles will be in better shape at game-time than he had dared hope a week ago. Even Mickey Connolly the pass-throwing fullback whose shoulder injury was the big Boston worry when the team arrived may be in condition to start, although Myers said "I haven't decided about that yet." "Of course Mickey won't be at his peak, and won't be able to last very long," the coach contfnued. The Easterners are standing up under the unaccustomed warm weather so well that Myers thinks they are "doing all right. Just show them a jersey of another color and they'll be all right." But the highly-articulate mentor didn't want the conversation to 'become too optimistic, so he struck another note. "The Alabama coaches are saying we will win," ne saia, -out, aon i pay any attention to them." Frank Thomas, the Alabama head coach, replied that he "hoped Myers was right in picking us." "Its going to be a tough game," Thomas added, "and a couple of breaks will decide it- "Our boys are in good shape, except for the reserve tackle Leon Fichman, who won't see much action.

"The spirit is fine, and we're ready." Both squads held workouts behind closed gates today. Meanwhfle, the last ticket to the game was sold which was no surprise since a capacity crowd of 30,000 long has been assured. Temple's 262-lb. Cage Star Another Dclincrt Coach Gody Asserts PHILADELPHIA. Dec.

30. Mike Jarmoluk. Temple's 262-pound sophomore basketball star, may develop into a second Dutch Dehnert, Josh Gody, Temple coach, said today. Dehnert. now manager of the team in the American Professional league, gained national fame at the pivot position while touring the country with the original New York Celtics 20 years ago.

"I don want anyone to get ine Idea that I'm comparing Jarmoluk, the boy, with Dehnert, the man," Cody exDiained. "But I do think Jarmoluk at 20 is as eood as Dehnert was at 20. If he should play as many years as Dehnert I believe he could develop ana become as good on the pivot as Dehnert." "Mike is as graceful as any big man I've ever seen." Cody continued. "He has the size, finger skill ail sure hands that are necessary for a good pivot man. In addition, he has the advantage of being able to study what Delinert develoned back in the 1920's." Jarmoluk's play paced the Owls in their 40-39 victory over Washington State last week at Convention hall.

Landis Reveals He Has Given Eastman Plan for Reducing Travel and ODT Head Approved of Them Declines Details WASHINGTON, Dec.

30. (JP) Pledged to all-out cooperation in curtailing travel during the 1943 baseball season, major league executives will meet soon to work out final details. Commissioner Kcne-aw Mountain Landis announced this today after he conferred with Joseph B. Eastman, director of Defense Transportation, who has called for elimination of "waste in space or mileage" next season. Th commissioner gave Eastman his ideas for reducing travel.

Eastman said he "heartily approved" of them. Both declined to give detail of Lan-du' proposals. Landis said he had not decided where or when the meeting would be held, remarking that transportation entered into this question also. The commissioner told reporters that the major leagues were "very happy to cooperate" in solving the transportation problem as "a very small contribution to the war eflort on our "Nobody needs to enter any order on us" to assure cooperation, he remarked, apparently referring to the fact that ODT has no power to compel compliance with its suggestions for reducing travel. Politely but firmly, the white-haired baseball commissioner brushed aside all questions concerning his ideas for reducing travel.

"I don't want to go into he said, when asked if schedules might be redrafted to reduce the number of trips to each city and provide for longer series of games in each city. The present schedule contains the usual 154 games and the original closing date of Sept. 28, but a proposed new schedule is understood to delay the opening date from April 13 to April 27. The last two weeks would made up by scheduling additional dotibieheaders. Ford Frick.

president of the National League, said in New York yesterday he understood three optional schedules had been prepared and held in readiness should the one already adopted be abandoned. Eastman emphasized today that he had made no specific proposals beyond those contained in his letter to Landis and the major league presidents Nov. 30. Not knowing the uitricacies of baseball and what it "can and cannot do." he said, he had merely outlined the general transportation problem. The ODT director remarked that baseball had shown "a splendid disposition" to cooperate with him and expressed hope "it would serve as- a guide, for other people." Eastmans suggestions included minimizing of travel incident to spring training, avoidance of long, duplicate U-ips with longer series of games in each city, and schedules providing ample traveling time between cities to avoid cancellations in case of lata trains or lack of accommodations.

This might involve the use of less-crowded secondary traifcs, and In some cases day coach facilities instead of sleeping cars, Eastman said. Eastman is asking curtailment of baseball travel as well as other travel not connected with the war because of heavily increased military transportation requirements. In his letter Eastman said he realized that other types of travel by individuals and groups "have pos-Mbly a lesser justification than baseball team travel." Responding to Eastman's suggestion for curtailment of spring training travel, most of the big league clubs already have announced plans to train nearer home than usual.

GREYST0NE to letter by any reputable eye doctor in the state that he "wtll not go blmd," Leon Rains, chairman of the State Athletic commission, said today.

Bobo, who beat Jack Walker in a 10-round elugfest at Columbus, last night, was barred from boxjng in Pennsylvania last August because. Rains said, an examination showed his "vision In one eye was entirely gone and the other affected." Saying he has received many queries asking why Bobo can fight in Ohio and not in "Pennsylvania, Rains asserted "All Bobo has to do to fight again in Pennsylvania is to go to any reputable eye doctor anywhere in the state and bring me a signed letter from the doctor stating that Bobo's vision ii all right and that he will not go blind. The minute Bobo brings me such a letter his suspension will be immediately liftad. That's fair, isn't it?" Rains said Eddie Kapphan, Bobo's manager, came into his office three months ago and declared Bobo's eye trouble had been cured in Baltimore. "I told him to oring me a signed statement to that effect" Rains said.

"He said, 'You'll have it tomorrow, I'm still waiting." Rains added that if Bobo is permitted to fight in other states, "that's not my responsibility."

THE HISTORY of 1 942 A World At War Coach Says Jiujitsu Expert I recently references nave been made to the fact that pre-flight football teams were not as strong at the end of the season as they were at the beginning because many cadets had gone to 'active duty' as the season progressed. The fact of the matter is that the cadets are very much on 'active duty' at the pre-flight schools, as are the officers and enlisted personnel. When a man is sworn into the Navy and is assigned to any Navy station or ship he is on active duty jiist as soon as he reports at the station or ship." From D. B. Leahy, Knoxvillc, Terui.

"I read your article a few days ago in reference to the bowl games and in it you stated that Tulsa would take Tennessee. Well, Mr. Martin, the folks from dear old Tennessee will have to be shown this year as we believe that we have one of the best teams in the country and if given a chance can give a good account of ourselves against any team in the country, and that includes professionals also. Here's hoping (and we know they will) that Tennessee will upset your dope bucket." From Warren "Dink" Littrcell. Coffey villc, anent Tulsa: "I sure wouldn't care about plaving poker against Henry Frnka if he plays like his football team team performs, becau.se you always would be coming up against a flush or a full house as he plays for keeps and for touchdowns.

I don't believe there is a team in the country that can hold Tulsa scoreless and if they plav a top-notch team like Tennessee the only way they will get beat is by the other team out- I scoring them."

Wisconsin Places Hopes On Towering John Klotz MADISON. Dec. 30. (UP) "Count on Kotz." That's the University of Wisconsin's basketball slogan as the Badger quimei, nears me cna OI its warm up" schedule and prepares for the forthcoming Big Ten season. The Kotz around whom' Wisconsin's title hopes revolve is Johnny Kotz, a burly six-foot-two forward.

Kotz set a new all-time Big Ten individual scoring record last season when he sank 95 field goals and 52 free throws for a total of 242 points.

(UP) Psy chology as well as physical condition ing played a major role in nrepara tions as Dana X. Bible, chunky coach of the University of Texas Longhorns, readied his team today for its New Year's Day Cotton Bowl battle with Georgia Tech. W. A. (Bill) Alexander, the sage of the Atlanta Engineers, again staged secret scrimmage for the Ramblin' Wreck.

But Bible held open house at Dal-lli stadium as his Texans neared the end of their training. "The most difficult part of these post-season games is getting your team 'up' mentally," Bible said. "Dur ing the regular season you can pre pare the club by reminding it what happened against the approaching opponent the previous year. Then you have a layoff and trying to get them back ui the proper frame of mind is the biggest Job of all. "My boys are in fine physical shape but you never can figure how a boy's mind works and that's the part that worries me." Bible was giving the Texas team a direct change of pace in preparation for the game.

All season the Long-horns used a battering running game to win the Southwest Conference championship. But in practice sessions this week he was concentrating on the razzle-dazzle in hopes of outscor-ing explosive Georgia Tech. Bible expects the game to be a wide-open and high scormg contest. Pass plays drew the major portion of the Texas team's attention. Rugged Roy McKay, the Texas fullback, was the central figure in formations calling for speed and slack ball handling, with passes ending in laterals and reverses winding up in passes.

Alexander admitted that he was "cooking something up to give those Texas boys a little surprise." Alexander has been the inventor of many gridiron tricks during his 22 years as coach at Georgia Tech. teams have played two bowl games and won both. The Ramblin' Wreck turned back California 8 to 7. in the 1928 Rose Bowl and in 1939 derm ten Missouri 21 to 7. in the Oranee Bowl.

These boys average 191 pounds.

In the backneld he will have McKay, Jackie Fields, Max Minor and Hal Collins, averaging 188 pounds. Tech, averaging 182 pounds, tips the beam at 188 pounds on the line, with Jack Marshall and Jack Helms at the ends; Tom Anderson and Preston West at tackles; Harvey Hardy and Jack Jordan, guards, and George Manning center.

Only the officials and committee chairmen attended today's meeting, which replaced the usual three-day convention, and the greater part of the four-hour session was devoted to a discussion of the resolution offering the athletic facilities of member colleges to the soldiers and sailors who will be trained on the campuses under the newly-adopted Army-Navy plan.

Griffith. Western conference commissioner, secretary-treasurer. Excent for replacements made necessary by withdrawals to enter the armed forces, all committees were "frozen." The main business was the four-point resolution drawn up by President T. J. Davies of Colorado college, chairman of the committee on resolutions; Dean Leroy E.

Mercer of Pennsylvania and Prof. Carl E. Leib of the University of Iowa. This put the N.C.A.A. on record as recommending to all officers in charge of the training programs in effect or soon to go into effect in the colleges to permit service men to participate in (cam sports along with regular students insofar as possible; that the colleges continue their intercollegiate programs for the benefit of trainees as well as other students; that the colleges make an effort to schedule nearby schools and to in crease the number of men and teams participating in each snort.

To this end the N.C.A.A. offered the facilities and personnel of member colleges to further this sports program. The waiver of the one-year rule will permit service men who are sent to college for only a few months as well as those taking longer courses to par ticipate in the N.C.A.A. champion ships. But it was pointed out that there was no letting down of the bars against former professional athletes or those who previously had com pleted college courses.

From Gabc Paul of the Cincinnati Reds: "Who Is' ihe best second baseman in the National league? You don't have to look any further than Cincinnati for an answer, for the Reds have the man in Lonny Frey. Why is he nominated? Because (1) He was the leading hitter among second basemen last season.

(2) He was tied with Mickey Witek of the Giants for the fewest number A errors, 18. (3) He had the best average per game in participation in double plays.
