It is not hard to understand Morrison's promise caus- such a commotion. In fact. it is simple when you remember that by its issuance he violated what must be the first rule in the unwritten code which guides football coaches; Namely, that coach must "ever, pick his own team to win an important game. There was talk today that Morrison would be severely at the next annual meeting of the coaches association, and some even went as far as to say that his union card would be picked up. The code calls for a coach to be very pessimistic on the of a big game.

He must and moan and express pity for his tired, inadequate He must always end Interviews with the hope that his team will be able to score, -and that none of them will be nnjured for life by the blg- strong, virile bruises of the op- Of course, such an attitude has made sense.

Slapnicka of the 'Cleveland Indians indicated today that his club might sign a "working agreement" with the In-, teruational league's Buffalo Bisons' to replace one with' the Milwaukee Brewers, who will try out the Chicago Cubs' new major-minor plan: next year.

"Buffalo has approached us regarding an agreement," Slapnicka said, "and if we take any double-a club to replace Milwaukee, It will be the Bisons." It would be the usual agreement, giving the Indians first chance to buy Buffalo talent and giving Buffalo first shot at any players Cleveland might want to farm out 1'or more experience.

12-(UP)--A long-sought standard of rules for American harness turf racing was formed today by u. convention of horsemen as their flrst step after consolidating five prominent trotting horse associations iiito one body.
