The St. Louis Cardinals are to alert their charges first, calling in the first squad on Feb. 18 at St. Petersburg, Fla.

Young Landy Fails in Assault Four-Minute Mile; Time—4 PERTH, Australia, Jan. 24 (UP)—Young landed in his bid for the fabulous four-minute mile he won the Australian championship by 120 yards good time of 4:04.2. While this clocking would have been a week 11 years ago and still would whip the world's best on almost any afternoon, a record crowd of 15 minging the Leederville grass track was visibly ed. They had turned out hoping to see the Melbourne agricultural student break Gunda 4:01.4 record set in 1945 and possibly run four-minute mile ever recorded. The rangy, curly-haired student gave it dous try as he sped around the Leederville times, arms high and his heels digging into in long graceful strides. There was a loud chorus of moans from tators when officials, after examining four stes, announced Landy's time. Nevertheless, roundly applauded and immediately was surro autograph seekers and news photographers. The serious Australian youth shrugged off ure in good spirits but he could not hide his disment. "I found it extremely hot on the track," "and I went for the record in the last lap instead. Had I run the first three laps in three it would have come off." Almost overlooked in Landy's mile effort winning performance by 20-year-old Grahan in the 440 yard event. He won the race in 47.8 just 1.8 seconds off Herb McKenley's world with the Pittsburgh Pirates carded for a series of games with the Cuban All-Stars in Havana and the New York Giants to oppose the Tokyo club in Phoenix, Ariz., on March 23 and the Mexican All-Stars on March 27. The St. Louis Cardinals are to alert their charges first, calling in the first squad on Feb. 18 at St. Petersburg, Fla. Four other National league and five American league clubs also based in Florida, so 91 games participated in by the National league are to be played in that state. Arizona will be the site of 26 contests, while 18 are to be played in California and 12 in Texas. The longest inter-league series will see the New York Giants engage their Cleveland Indian training neighbors in 22 games, 14 of which will be played en route home. A weekend series at the Polo Grounds April 11 and 12 caps the trip. The Chicago Cubs will be pitted against the St. Louis Browns of the A.L. 16 times; nine of them on the way home. The Cubs will oppose the cross-town White Sox in the traditional pre-season weekend series in Chicago on April 10-11-12.

McKenzie DORIS DAY "April in Paris" and "BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER" PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24 (AP)—The National Football League began to uphold its reputation as a long-winded debating society today when the club owners tangled with the problem of divisional realignment. Going into the third day of their marathon meeting, the NFL leaders re-affirmed their stand on restricting television, borrowed a rule from baseball to put into player contracts, then settled down to argue whether they should change the membership of the two divisions and the system of scheduling games. Wanted to Say The odd thing about it was that nobody expected any major changes to come out of the discussions, but everybody wanted to have a say. This situation came about when the Baltimore Colts were re-admitted to the league and given Dallas' place in the Western Division. Not all the clubs were happy about that, although Washington dropped its demand that a place in the Eastern group be a condition of Baltimore's admission. The Redskins' head, George P. Marshall, wanted to build up a neighborhood rivalry with Baltimore by playing the Colts twice each season but indicated he would be satisfied if that was accomplished by making an exception to normal schedule arrangements. The two Chicago clubs, the Bears and Cardinals, already have such a setup. Willing to Switch Pittsburgh and Philadelphia both were willing to switch to the West to make a place for Baltimore in the East. That way they'd have to play the clubs that are the best gate attractions, but they'd add to their own travel costs and those of the clubs that had to come east to play them. The club owners decided to drop the American conference designation call the divisions of Western. They voted that player contracts, no ary can be cut more cent when he is si next season. That baseball rule limiting to 25 per cent. TV Rule Uncle They also voted unleave the television changed. They could thing else without their case in the against the league, into court Monday. The government is suit on the grounds of barring television of game in a club's teat that club is playing televising a road home city constitute straint of trade.

DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR YOU CAN'T BEAT A PONTIAC CASEY-BECKHAM PONTIAC 210 S. Los Angeles St.; Anaheim — Phone 4012 "A GOOD DEAL AND A GOOD DEAL" Out As U of W Coach Freshman Mentor Cherberg Seen as Likely Successor SEATTLE, Jan. 24 (P)—The University of Washington tossed out Howie Odell as head football coach today after two years of a three-year contract. Selection of a successor was postponed but most signs pointed to Johnny Cherberg. Washington's freshman football coach whose teams have won 23 of 24 games. Stars, Angels To Play In Anaheim The Hollywood Stars and the Los Angeles Angels, bitter cross-town rivals in the Pacific Coast League, will play two exhibition games in Anaheim this year, March 19 and March 27. Angel publicity director George Goodale announced yesterday. The two clubs will also play two games in Fullerton, training camp for the Angels. The Seraphs, who open spring training Feb. 23, will play seven other games at Fullerton in addition to the Star tilt. The Fullerton games are evenly divided major league and Pacific Coast league opponents, with the odd match scheduling the Angels to play. The university's regents meeting to act on athletic director, Harvey Cassill's recommenadion that Odell "not be retained," gave the coach a 15 minute hearing at a closed meeting. Then they announced the firing in a brief statement that left the full reasons unexplained. Cold Reception Odell asked and was given permission for the virtually unprecedented personal appearance before the full board, but indications were he got a coldly formal reception. "I just wanted to tell my story," Odell said afterward. "No one asked me a single question." "Not that I felt it did any good. This whole thing was decided weeks ago, and nothing that I could say would change it." The regents' statement said nothing about settlement of O'Dell's $15,000 salary for this year, but H. P. Everest, university vice president, told newsmen the matter would be "discussed with Odell." The regents merely said they "acted to approve" Cassill's recommendation, and added it was Owners Wrangle over games, Schedule System drop the American and National conference designations and just call the divisions Eastern and Western. They voted that under future player contracts, no player's salary can be cut more than ten percent when he is signed for the next season. That follows the baseball rule limiting salary cuts to 25 per cent. TV Rule Unchanged They also voted unanimously to leave the television rule unchanged. They couldn't do anything else without weakening their case in the anti-trust suit against the league, which goes into court Monday. The government instituted the suit on the grounds that the rule barring television of an "outside" game in a club's territory when that club is playing at home or televising a road game in its home city constitutes illegal restraint of trade. Herman Loses on Decision to Baby Face Jones BOSTON, Jan. 24 (GP)—Harold Baby Face Jones, 137, Detroit, a lusty southpaw swinger, gained a close 10 round decision over Freddie Babe Herman, 138½, of Los Angeles, in Boston's first nationally televised boxing bout tonight at the Arena. It was the third engagement for the battlers. Jones did most of his scoring with hard lefts to the head and body. Herman kept on close terms all the way by concentrating on Jones' head with left hooks and right crosses. Both were warned about hooking and holding after the fifth session. Ballman’s TVers Lose to Al’s Cagers 72-62 Ballman’s TVers suffered their second successive setback in the basketball wars last night when they bowed to Al’s Sporting Goods 72-62 in Anaheim High school gym. Jack Davidson garnered seven field goals and eight free throws to pace the victors and Don Leibhart was high scorer for Ballman’s with 15 tallies. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Jan. 24 (GP)—Tiger Ted Lowry, 184, Boise, Idaho, knocked out Al Spaulding, 220, Eureka, Calif., Friday night in the sixth round of their scheduled 10 round main event. The biggest thrill in motoring Odell said afterward. “No one asked me a single question. ‘Not that I felt it did any good. This whole thing was decided weeks ago, and nothing that I could say would change it.’ The regents’ statement said nothing about settlement of O'Dell's $15,000 salary for this year, but H.P. Everest, university vice president, told newsmen the matter would be “discussed with Odell.” The regents merely said they “acted to approve” Cassill's recommendation, and added it was previously approved by Everest and President Henry Schmitz. Meet on Call The statement said no recommendation for a new coach had been received but that the board would meet on call to act when a name is presented. Odell, a Pittsburgh university graduate who came to Washington from the head coaching job at Yale, has been here five years. He started on one-year contract; then was signed for three years. Why the dismissal before his contract expired alter a season in which the Huskies won seven and lost three games? Sports circles have been buzzing about it since Odell disclosed several weeks ago that Cassill had told him dismissal would be recommended. Odell said then, and since that "personal differences between him and Cassill were the reason. Cassill has kept mum but President Schmitz, in approving Cassill's recommendation, said Odell had failed to cooperate in the university's athletic program. Cassill's report never was released.

The 5-year-old mare, owned by the H. W. Collins stable, finished three-quarters of a length ahead of Old English Rancho's Ruth Lily, with A Gleam third in a photo. It was a disappointment to the crowd which had backed A Gleam, queen of the Calumet Farm stable here, down to 6-5, chiefly off victory in the Malibu Sequet Stakes here Jan. 3. A Gleam got off to a fast start, but that was the only time the 4-year-old filly was on top. Rex Ellsworth's Season's Best took over by the time the field reached the clubhouse turn, and held on into the stretch. Start to Move A Gleam and Spanish Cream lay well back, running seventh and eighth at one stage on the backstretch. But on the far turn, they started to move. Ruth Lily had been chasing Season's Best all the way, and held on when the latter started to fade. She staved off A Gleam in a rush to the wire, but couldn't do the same to Spanish Cream, which passed her a little better than a sixteenth from home. The field for the 16th running of the track's top handicap for fillies and mares was reduced to 11 with withdrawal of C. H. Jones & Sons Ria Rica, a light-weighted outsider. A balmy day drew a crowd of 52,000. With 11 starters, the race grossed $60,150, with $38,600 as Spanish Cream's share. The distance was cut this year to a mile and a sixthteen. Since 1938, it had been a mile and an eighth. Spanish Cream paid $7.60, $4 and $2.60, Ruth Lily $5.80 and $3.10; A Gleam $2.50. Great Surprise Spanish Cream's victory was no great surprise. She won the Santa Maria here Jan. 10, chief prep for today's race, and was a 5-2 second choice today. The top money brought her 1953 earnings in two starts to $51,800, already ahead of her $47,850 in pursues last year. Ruth Lily took down $10,000 for second, A Gleam $7,600 for third. A Gleam was called on to carry 130 pounds, two more than Spanish Cream. Ruth Lily was in at a light 112. The time was 1:44 4-5, three seconds off the track record despite a fast strip. Other finishers behind the top three were Season's Best, On Balance, Wild Glory, Wandering Ways, Mab's Choice, Blue Moon, Special Touch and Great Dream. Army-Notre Dame Sign Agreement To Resume Colorful Series in '57 WEST POINT, N.Y., Jan. 24 OP—The colorful Army-Notre Dame football series, abruptly suspended five and a half years ago, will be resumed in 1957 with arrangement for home-and-home dates on the two campuses. A joint announcement by the athletic directors, Earl Red Blakl of Army and Edward of Army and Edward Moose Krause of Notre Dame, said the two teams would meet Oct. 12, 1957 at Notre Dame and Oct. 11, 1958 at West Point. Hope to Continue There was no official word of what will be done after that but Krause remarked, "we hope to continue negotiations when this series ends." In the last several years preceding the break in relations, the game, annually the highlight of the collegiate campaign, was played in New York's Yankee Stadium. Krause said the resumption of play between the two teams was discussed on a two-game, home and home scale only and he added: "We do not know at this time if the Army-Notre Dame games ever will be shifted to a large city such as New York or elsewhere." Blakk confirmed Krause's statement and said neither of the institutions is making any plans yet beyond the 1958 date He added that he was gratified that the series was being resumed. Ticket Problem The 1958 game at Army will present a ticket problem. Michie Stadium at West Point seats only 27,000 and demands are bound to run many times that figure. Notre Dame's stadium has a 56,000 capacity. The rivalry between these perennial giants of college football began in 1913 and continued uninterrupted—except for a wartime cancellation in 1918 through 1947. It was then that officials of both institutions announced suspension of the series. Their only reason was that the "game has grown too big." The announcement hinted at over-commercialism and the dangerous growth of the rivalry between the powerhouses. Wins Opener Noter Dame won the opening game in 1913 scoring a 35-13 upset at West Point which brought a Knute Rocke-Gus Dorais passing combination to the nation's attention. TODAY'S CROSS-WORD PUZZLE Ruth Lily took down $10,000 for second. A Glam $7,600 for third. A Glam was called on to carry 130 pounds, two more than Spanish Cream. Ruth Lily was in at a light 112. The time was 1:44 4-5, three seconds off the track record despite a tast strip. Other finishers behind the top three were Season's Best, On Balance, Wild Glory, Wandering Ways, Mab's Choice, Blue Moon, Special Touch and Great Dream.
