Battle Will Hied Invasion Flood Dutch Lowlands These say the Germans already have flooded some of the Dutch coastal lowlands, which the Industrious Hollanders spent five centuries draining, and are ready to blow out all the dikes if necessary. They adfl that the Germans are particularly concerned about Dutch territory because once penetrated it leads quickly Into the Industrial heart of Western Germany. Another Dutch report, credited by the news agency Aneta to an underground newspaper, Is that Field Marshal Erwln Rommel, the German commander, has established headquarters at Breda in western Holland and converted the historic town into a fortress. Another underground newspaper says the enemy has Invented a type of work called "special services" under which people are routed out in the middle of the night and forced to dig trenches and erect barricades. The flow of such information to Dutch diplomats here suggests that Gen.

Dwight D. Elsenhower, the Allied invasion chief, probably is receiving highly informative data on the state and disposition of German preparations from underground sources all over western Europe.

March 28 UP) The Invasion Jitters are Just beginning. From here on there will be "false alarms, feints and dress rehearsals" by the Anglo-American high command and phony reports and rumors put out by the Germans. This will continue until the smartest receptionists on both sides of the English channel have exhausted their bags of tricks in the greatest battle of nerves, preceding the greatest amphibious assault in history. The quoted words are from Prime Minister Churchill's Sunday broadcast. His brief reference to the forthcoming attempts to deceive the' enemy about exactly where and when the blow or blows will fall was Interpreted here today as a warning to the Allied world to get ready for some strange maneuvers.

Surprise Deadly Weapon Surprise is one of the deadliest weapons in the Allied arsenal of attack, and the Germans are believed to be working along similar lines. They need deception primarily to arouse the underground forces of Europe prematurely, and thus expose them to betrayal. The Allies are counting on these forces to strike at exact ly the right moment to wreck enemy communications, tie up enemy occupation and reserve forces, blow up supply centers and otherwise create confusion In the German rear. The Germans meanwhile are reported working feverishly Impressing French, Dutch, Belgian and other dominated people into service to help them to strengthen their already powerful "Atlantic wall" defenses. Dutch reports made available here from underground sources are especially detailed In such activities.

NEW YORK, March 28 (IP) Fuel for a small fire: After looking in on the recent basketball coaches' conference (not even a formal convention, you understand) and seeing 69 names registered, this department again is puzzled by the fact that America's so-called national game doesn't get the same sort of attention from the colleges. As far as we can learn, the baseball coaches don't have any organization. And as one of the court tutors pointed out: "Except In a few colleges that pay attention to baseball, they don't have full-time coaches. They Just pick someone who isn't busy and give him that Job on the theory that anybody can be a baseball We suppose those are the same folks who claim there's no Interest in college baseball and did you notice that turnout of 105 candidates for the Notre Dame team a couple of weeks ago? TRAVEL BUREAU The Utah basketball team. which was chosen for the National Invitation tournament largely because there wasn't any other team in the Rocky Mountain area and because the Pacific Coast confer ence virtually wrecked the game In Its territory by iU travel ban, Is coming back on top.

Eliminated In the first round, Utah dropped Into the Western N.C. A.A. tourney as representative of the Southwest when Arkansas was forced out, won at Kansas City, and came right back for to night East-West game. And because Iowa State and Dart mouth are Navy teams, the Utes didn't even have to win the Western tourney to return and they'll oppose St. John's in Thursday's Red Cross benefit regardless of tonight's outcome.

Well, any old Indian fighter could tell you that when the Utes leave the reservation it's hard to chase them back. TODAY'S GUEST STAR Joe Gootter, Paterson, N. Evening News: "Gag just as corny as the Phillies' new nickname: the reason they are calling themselves Blue Jays is be cause the team always goes down to de-feet." GRANDSTAND COACHING Bruce Drake, the Oklahoma basketball coach, attributes this remark to his small daughter, who seems wise beyond her years in basketball lore: "You know what I'd like to hear over the loudspeaker some time? Some body substituting for Kurland." (P.S. After two futile efforts to handcuff lanky Bob Kurland of the Oklahoma Aggies this season, Bruce agrees unreservedly.) SERVICE DEPARTMENT Lieut (Jg) Bobby Riehl, Ohio State U. baseball captain in 1929, recently returned to the New Orleans armed guard center after five rough months as commander of the gun crew on a merchant ship.

Aboard the second ship to reach Sardinia after our forces landed, Lieut. Riehl experienced a week of almost constant air alerts while unloading explosives. But that probably didn't worry a guy who was used to those explosive downtown quarterbacks in Columbus.

KC YOUNGSTER WINS GOLDEN GLOVES TITLE NEW YORK, March 28 You might write down the name of Major Jones, 16-year-old vocational school student of Kansas City, and paste it in your hat. You'll likely hear something good about him in professional boxing before long. The lanky kid stole the show last night before 18,630 fans in Madison Square Garden as he won the 126-pound Golden Gloves championship and helped Chicago to a 9-7 point victory over the New York squad. Showing an amazing amount of ring savvy for a kid of his age, Major Jones punched out a neat decision over Frank Perone of In-wood, Long Island, to give the -Chicagoans a lead they never lost.

It's at Li 'AX BLOOMINQTON, March 28 W) The most unfamiliar note In baseball this season Is the blue one being sounded by Bill Mc-Kechnle, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, as he ponders what may happen to his pitching staff. Year In and year out, the Reds probably have the best balanced mound corps In the National league, so It an unusual ring indeed, when the Deacon speaks with growing concern about his throwers. Wliat started the crack in the club's pitching stronghold was the departure of Johnny Van Der Meer of no-hit fame and Clyde Shoun who accounted for 29 wins between them last year. Standby 1-A Bucky Walters and Elmer Rid dle, the old standbys, won 36 more games and still are around but are classified in 1-A. Riddle has not yet arrived at spring training headquarters.

He volunteered to take a physical examination which he passed with ease. Now that he is sure he is fit for service, he is expected to report In camp any day to stay until he is ordered to service. The Van Der Meer-Riddle- Shoun-Walters combination represents a winning record of 65 games out of the Reds total of 87 victories last year which enabled them to snare second place in the National league pennant campaign. The status of two other veterans also is doubtful. Joe Beggs Is awaiting a Navy commission and Ray Starr, who won 11 and lost 10, Is reluctant to Join the club.

He and McKechnle are scheduled to talk things over some time this week. Three Rookie Pitchers This leaves the Reds with only three certain mound prospects, and all are rookies. Arnold Carter the only left handed thrower on the entire squad, and Bob Ferguson are 4-F's and Tomas de la Cruz Is a Havana, Cuba, citizen. De la Cruz and Carter won 21 and 14 games respectively for the Syracuse Chiefs of the International league last year and Ferguson had a comparatively poor 6-4 record with Birmingham of the Southern association. The Reds' catching chores are nailed down by a pair of 4-F's Veteran Ray Mueller, who back-stopped 141 games for Cincinnati last year and batted .260, and Rookie Len Rice of Syracuse.
