They've been getting along very well in the past and they aren't looking for a fight now.

They both know what's good for baseball and that's what they want. But there are a few points which most of the players think should be cleared up. For instance, the clubowners have agreed that there should not be night games on the last day of a series. That creates all kinds of problems and hardships for the players. 0 YET THERE ARE more and more "getaway" night games.

When everyone agrees they are bad, why not stop them definitely? Another matter is the winter ball regulation. Players who come from Cuba or Central America can play all the off-season baseball they want to in their own countries. But American-born players are barred if they have 45 days major league experience. That is discrimination, and something should be done about it. I'm not saying that every man in the major leagues should be allowed to play all through the off-season.

But, as I see it, there are two classes of players who really would benefit from being allowed to play winter ball. Take youngsters like Bob Miller and Al Kaline, of the Tigers. They could get good experience in the off-season. Then there are the oldtimers, fellows who don't play too many games during the regular season but still have a lot of baseball in them. It's a chance for them to pick up some retirement pay sometimes as much as they make in a regular season.

Those are some of the things to be worked out but it won't take a fight to get them, I am sure. Invites 73; MSC Calls 64 Titans Face Opener in 3 Weeks BY HAL MIDDLESWORTII A new kind of old-time football! That's what 243 college grid-dera will start digesting Tuesday when the state's four major powers launch their 1953 practice sessions. One-platoon football is back-no more free substitutions. That has created problems, but if fans believe it means a re turn to a stodgy, low-scoring game, they may be in for a sur prise. Coaches learned things during their two-platoon days and they'll start grafting them on their one-platoon offenses at Michigan, Michigan State, De troit and Wayne this week.

SQUADS WILL range from 51 at Wayne to 73 at Michigan, with 55 invited to the University of Detroit workouts and 64 to Michigan State. First games for Wayne and Detroit will be less than three weeks away which means extra work. For Michigan State, this Is a significant season, the schools' first In the Big Ten race. With a 24-game winning streak-longest in college football the Spartans will be favorites for the confer championship although they must be wary of Wisconsin and Ohio State. Coach Biggie Munn has in vited 15 seniors, 20 juniors and 29 sophomores to the initial workout at East Lansing.

In eluded are 21 lettermen which sounds impressive until it is pointed out that three of the Spartans' Ail-Americans and 18 other lettermen must be replaced. Munn's custom of employing a great number of players gives the Spartans an experienced backfield, however, with Tom Yewclc, LeRoy Bolden, Billy Wells and Evan Slonac very apt to start the season at Iowa Sept. 26. The Spartans have depth, if not great experience, in the line, too. AT MICHIGAN, where 24 lettermen will report, the problem will be to find a two-way quarterback.

The rest of the back-field is pretty well set with Ted Kress and Tony Branoff at the halves and Dick Balzhiser at fullback. Coach Bennle Oosterbaan appears to have put the quarter-backing on the husky shoulders of Iouis Baldaccl, a 205-pound sophomore from Akron, but Duncan McDonald, the celebrated but little-u pa-sser from Flint, Is a possibility. The switch to single platoons "-Mia HE'S LOCIIMOOR HOTSHOT Hot Weather Fails To Stop Tom Draper Golfing weather is the hottest of the season and so is Tom Draper.

That era ended a decade ago. Walter Hagen, Author, now Is becoming something of a celeb- rity in certain literary circles. He has been in the process of writing the story of his life. LIKE MUCH of his golf. The Haig'g writing also is taking place in Michigan.

Bob Harlow, Hagen's closest friend, is editor of Golf World Magazine and has offered a progress report on the book. Parts of Harlow's story follow: "Authors and camp followers sat on Hagen's Dock, en-Joying col breeze when Hagen In person appeared on the dock carrying Ice cubes. He glanced at his pals and spoke one word "The biography of Walter Christ Hagen may not be the 'great American novel' but it is doubtful if any literary effort was ever produced in such an atmosphere of relaxation, hilarity and utter disregard for cost. "Hagen announced the biography at a luncheon at Detroit Athletic Club in early 1952. The bill for that party started the elimination of the dollar.

About $40,000 has been expended already and nobody knows if a 6ingle chapter Is just what Hagen wants. "BV JULY of 1952 Hagen set up a literary camp on delightful Lake Cadillac. The name Cadillac appeals to Hagen. It sounds first class. He gathered about him Bob Harlow, his former manager; John Nixon, Detroit radio-TV script writer; Walter Hagen, and a number of floating literary kibitzers all loaded with exciting but Inaccurate Hagen lore.

"The first day the book waited. The biography of Hagen was being enacted for he bought a boat and everyone went for a boat ride. "The next day the book was postponed so all members of the staff could go golfing. "THAT N1UHT things were In order for literature pencils sharpened, note books ready, minds alert and cans of beer within reach and a boatload of beer in the refrigerator to back it up. "Then Walter decided it was time to relax everybody went Into town and played shuffle-board until three a.m.

"Such was and Is the life In llagcn's Niimim-r literary camp at leact a dozen writers have been consulted and a number have tried their hand.

Cage Snafu Made Grid Star of Box Continued from First Sport Page Texas, Cloyce had no Intention ot playing pro football. Late that summer, however, the late Bo McMillin waa in Texas. He phoned Box and asked him about playing with the Lions. "I didn't have anything else to do at the moment, Cloyce relates, "So I said I'd report." BOX DIDN'T make much of an impression on anyone including himself in his first sea son with the Lions in 1949. "They made me a halfback," he says "and I probably was the worst halfback in the history of the league.

I played a little defense, learned the plays and generally just fooled around. McMillin was a great believer In wind sprints. That was right down my alley. I could run, If nothing cine. So I won most of the sprints." It didn't seem important at the time, but the speed of the gangling Texan caught the eye of assistant coach George Wilson.

When 1950 rolled around, he in sisted on converting Box Into an end There r.ever was a happier or more successful conversion. BOX HAD A GREAT year In 1950. He ranked third in the league in pass receptions, with 50 catches good for 1,009 yards. it was back to the Marines for another hitch. Released before last season, Cloyce was a key performer In the championship march.

Box was the second leading scorer In the NFL with 90 points. Gordon Soltau of San Francisco won the crown with 94 points. Cloyce snagged 42 passes for 924 yards. Box has superlative speed and sure hands. "He catches anything he can touch," praises Bobby Layne.

Box has a law degree from Baylor University, but hasn't yet taken his bar exam. In the offseason he operates a Buick automobile agency in Belton, Tex. What's the derivation of the name Cloyce "I haven't the faintest Idea, he says. "I think my mother just thought Cloyce and Boyce were good twin names."

Kim stormed in for the kill and floored him for the full count a few moments later.
