American League dub owners ended a hectic nine-hour meeting with a unanimous vote to shift the 54-year-old franchise of the Philadelphia Athletics to Kansas City. The decision all but broke up the once-esteemed position in baseball of the Mack family. It signalled the finish of one vivid chapter in the national pastime that was etched by the pioneering Connie Mack and opened what should be another under Chicago financier Arnold Johnson.

It was Johnson, 47, a top man in a business that grossed J70.000.000 last year the Automatic Canteen Co. of America who found that money on the barrel-head speaks loudest. Inthe final analysis, his bid of 53,373,000 to buy out the Macks P.oy Earle and Connie including Connie Mack Stadium, was irresistible. Will Harridge, president of the American League, said it was the only sound offer made. I Boy Has Till Monday, Officially, the deal will not be closed until Monday.

PITTSBURGH (UP) Athletic Director Tom Hamilton returned to the head football coaching position at University of Pittsburgh today as interim replacement for ailing Red Dawson in Saturday's game against Navy.

A physician ordered Dawson, whose Panthers have lost the. first three games of a suicide schedule, to stay away from football for at least a week because of a slight heart irregularity and a persistent head cold infection. Hamilton formerly coached both Pitt and their opponent Middies. He directed Pitt in 1331 while awaiting the arrival of Dawson, then an assistant at Michigan State. He was head coach for Navy from 1934 to 1936 and again in 1946 and 1947.

Dawson to Rest. Dr. Richard Horn, assistant dean of the Pittsburgh School of Medicine, ordered Dawson to bed in Presbyterian Hospital for rest and observation late Tuesday. The doctor said a preliminary examination indicated Dawson, who is working on the last season of a wuxiung on me last season or a Quarterback Clubs Coach of the For' other Tram Likes rar.

admission removed the only block, for Roy strongly had opposed his brother Earle and 92-year-old father, Connie, in the sale, and tried desperately, but vainly to raise enough capital to keep the debt-mired club in Philadelphia. Roy was an emotional, pathetic figure of a man when he hurried from the meeting room an hour before the session ended A 1TNlN.G STREAK Wegner continued, is something like mountain-climbing.

Dont forget, he warned. atur team lost two games by a total of 10 points against Iowa aad u0urT new coach. Duffy Daugherty, will become a great head coach.

I had him as a player at Syracuse. He was a 18o-pound guard and became captain of the team. And you dont get elected captain without being a respected football player. The Spartan athletic director, who was Introduced by Notre Dame athletic director, Ed Krause, said that Michigan State would always want to play Notre Dame. Games are sched-uled for 1955-56-57, he disclosed, and we want to go on from there.

The team that scored last was going to win the game And it was easily the standout game in our long winning SlTCaKi Thats how Sam Wegner. Wash ington High School football coach described the 13-7 loss previously unbeaten Panthers suffered in last Saturday's city classic at the hands of Spike Kellys Riley Wildcats who themselves are embarked on a six-game win- member of Red's staff on theW'tb 7 yards on 39 attempts for an average gain of 6.1 yards per carry. Only 20 yards behind the former Compton Junior College star is his teammate, hurrying Hugh McEl-henny with an average 6.2 for his 217 yards, on 35 attempts. McEl-henny, former University of Washington flash, finished seventh in last years ground-gaining race. Floyd (Breezy) Reid of Green Bay is third with 170 yards for 27 carries and a 6.3 average.

The all-important passing department has an old standby. Norman Van Brocklin of Los Angeles, deadlocked with rookie Tom Du-blinski of the champion Detroit Lions. Dubinski Is Second Stringer. Both have averaged 9.67 yards per pass. Van Brocklin, in three games, has tossed 81 times, connected on 43 for 783 yards and four touchdowns.

Dublin-ski, in two games, has thrown 27 times, completed 17 for 261 yards and one touchdown. Dublinski actually is the Lions spot. I just hope that Red gets out quick, Hamilton said. SOUTHERN LOOP CURBS RADIO, NEW ORLEANS IP Southern Assn, clubs have been barred from radio broadcasting or televising home games played on Sundays and holidays and playoff games. Directors of the Gass AA baseball league, in adopting the rule yesterday, left the home club authority to decide whether to permit other home games to be broadcast or televised.

Atlanta was the only one of the eight clubs to televise games last season. EX-MAJOR LEAGUER DIES. ST. LOUIS IP Walter Holke, 62-ycar-old former National League first baseman for four clubs, died at Missouri Baptist Hospital yesterday. the Notre Dame backfidd.

The rangy (6-1, 183 pounds) son of Tulsa coach Bemie Witucki has seen only a lew minutes of action for the Irish at his now position, but in a long scrimmage session Tuesday, Witucki operated from the No. 1 fullback position ahead of Junior Don Schaefer. Like most first-year performers, Witucki has much to learn but in practice sessions he has shown a willingness to work hard at the new position. Against Pittsburgh, he carried the ball tiwee for 18 yards. Notre Dames coaches arent camied away by Wituckis success at running In the waning moments of the Pitt game, but he turned In some good blocking in the last Irish touchdown drive, and certainly warrants a shot at the most pressing problem in the backfidd.

Schaefer, however, has the best rushing mark-103 yards of all Irish backs, and his 3 8 average is more steady than sensational. Schaefer has carried the most times, 28, and is an all-around performer, handling punting, extra points and kickoffs when he is in the lineup. Kapish In Action. Witucki worked in the No. backfidd in the scrimmage along with Ralph Guglielmi, Joe Heap and Dean Studer.

After a session on offense, the No. 1 team scrimmaged on defense against Michigan State plays. In the line, the usual regulars were in action, though End Gene a i alternated with Dan Shannon and Paul Matz. Both Studer, Heap and Witucki broke away for long gainers against a reserve team and Gug-lielmi passed for two other scores At the same time, a No. 2 unit was also involved in a contact session as the tempo of preparations for Michigan State increased.

The coaching staff isnt worried about the team's inability to get up for the Spartans. Seniors on the team remember lickings by the Michigan Staters, 33-0, in 1351 and again, 21-3, in 1352. The Spartans started their string of successes against D. in 1330 with a high-powered 36-33 victory at Notre Dame. Defensively, the Irish must prepare for the Spartans speed and passing attack.

M.S.C. is pleasantly burdened with backs who can run for distance at the drop of defender. Quarterback Earl Mor-rall, while not a great average passer, has completed 12 for an average gain of 20 yards each. Indicating the Spartans know what to do once they catch the ball. Expect M.S.C.

Passes. Because of the Michigan State multiple offense, the Irish must be looking for passes from all positions. Coach Duffy Daugherty of the Spartans played three quarterbacks against Indiana last week. In addition to Morrall, converted quarterback Johnny Mat-aock played at left half, and another switched signal-caller Clarence Peaks played right half. After Irish difficulties with Purdue passers and receivers, the Spartans figure to take full ad vantage of the one weakness the Irish have shown on defense.

Neither Texas nor Pitt, primarily running teams, could score against ND. Purdue scored four times through the air. Another long session was slated for today on Cartier Field with tapering-off workouts scheduled for Thursday and Friday. BOLDEN DOUBTFUL.
