"Then some day, saly at the Mardi the winners of those games--for the 'world' championship. That, would bring us up to and we could start all over spring practice, then fall practice Hatcher found immediate support from the toastmaster of the "bust," Sports Editor Wilfrid Smith of the Chicago Tribune, who said: for one, encouraged the Big 10 and Pacific Conference to form their Rose Bowl agreement. I did it because I felt it would put the bowl out of the reach of schools who admit football players without high school diplomas.

-Associated Press Wirephoto. Threat of Toledo Shift Disrupts Minors' Meeting COLUMBUS, O. (P) The their Toledo, franchise in the threatened the entire structure of For it appeared that a court suit may be necessary to decide whether the Braves have right to shift the franchise without. the approval of the Association. As matters now stand, seven of the Association clubs are against the Toledo-to-Miami switch.

The Braves, claiming they lost a quarter-of-a-million dollars operating the Toledo franchise the last two seasons, insist they be allowed to go to Miami. Such a shift would make a league which would stretch from Denver, in the West to St. Paul and Minneapolis in the North and Miami in the South. It would involve so much additional traveling expense that the other clubs want no part of it. Columbus Shift Sought.

The Braves also realize that such a shift would not be a profitable one. But they were hoping to get the Columbus Jets of the International League to agree to switch to the Association, with the International League taking on Miami. Such a change would not affect the International League's traveling picture to any tent, for it has a team in Havana, Cuba. But the Jets, who were in the Association for years, are happy in the International and do not want to change back. To resolve the deadlock, it was reported the Braves offered to buy the Syracuse, N.

franchise in the International and shift it to Miami, paving the way for Syracuse to join the Association. But the International League was said to have frowned. Then the Braves issued an they either will operate their Association franchise in Miami or not at all. Player Loss Threatened, The Association's reply was that if it did not accept the shift, Milwaukee either would have to continue in Toledo or give up its franchise and all players signed to Toledo contracts. It was the latter stipulation which got the Braves up in arms.

They have several promising players at Toledo they do not want to give up. Commissioner Ford Frick and Minor League President George Trautman interpreted rules in favor of the Association. But the Braves did not see it that way and indicated they would fight the issue, taking it into the courts if necessary: The Association held an emergency meeting Monday night without deciding what it should do about the matter. It appeared possible that the issue might be put off until after the minor league meetings; which began here today, are concluded on Friday. But there was no sign that either the Association, the International League or the Braves were willing to give an inch.

If the situation stays that way, it would a legal battle to decide it and it could result in the whole structure of the major and minor, leagues finally coming up. for court review and decision.
