Whereas in past years the conchting staff has been with 100 or more aspirants for places on the famed Iris gridiron teams, Leahy, found himself yesterday with just 49 athletes -and 21 already have been summoned to report for aclive military duty at the end of the present semester May 1.

That left just 27 possibilities for next. fall and almost to a man they said their military status was uncertain. Approximately 40 of the were freshmen and there were only five letter winners, not one of whom' in the backfield. Leahy frankly admitted that the Navy holds the key to Notre Dame football hopes. If special trainees sent here by the Navy.

"I haven't any idea how many of these. boys, if any, will be back to play next fall," he said. "Neither has anyone else.

Ticket sales Indicate a crowd of more than 18,000 may attend the To Clear Way to Draft Fathers WASHINGTON, March 30 A conference here next week: of state selective service directors was scheduled today amid reports that. changes in regulations are impending to clear the way for drafting of fathers when other classes aro exhausted. National headquarters discounted the importance of the meeting, describing it as an annual affair to give state directors and national officers an opportunity to go over their problems and exchange Ideas, But reports persisted that soon would be major changes in regulations, possibly lumping all fathers outside. the non-deferable group into a new class, despite War Manpower Commissioner Paul V.

MeNutt's admonition against speculation. These reports are based in part on the fact that while drafting of fathers whose children are countable as dependents is barred by National regulations until further notice, many states will have to begin calling these men about July, to meet quotas, Hence to keep up the flow of men to the armed services it would be necessary to lift the ban. against drafting fathers generally or make broad additions to the -deferable list, which permits the induction of fathers who remain in such jobs and activities. Creation of a classification for fathers apart from the 3-A and 3-B rating they now occupy along with childless married men would sim. plify the task of local boards in goIng over their records to determine who may be reclassified 1-A.

Childless married men already are being reclassified from 3-A and 3-B to 1-A at such at rate the supply will be virtually exhausted in three months in many places, but draft boards still have to weed out fathers' names from' the 3-A and 3-B files.
