The glaring weakness of the Cougars last year in the sprints should be overcome to quite an extent this year by Dave Chad-wick, Chad-wick, sophomore football star of last fall. Chadwick was an Idaho sprint champion at Weiser high and was clocked during his senior year in 9.8 seconds; During the BYU Invitational In-vitational Track and Field meet last year he was asked to compete against Lloyd LaBeach, one of the world's top sprinters, without the opportunity of a workout. He gave the colored flash a good race, one which proved his high school record was no flash in the pan. Coach Watts said."

Fla, March (U.R) Now that he lias heard Bill Veeck's side of the case, baseball commissioner Albert B. Chandler planned to talk with the Birming ham Barons of the Negro National league before settling the Veeck- George Weiss dispute over rookie siffninra. General manager Weiss, of the New York Yankees insists th he had an oral agreement wl Barons shortstop. Artie wuson, who was signed to a contract by Veeck's Cleveland Indians Got His Chanc Weeck got his chance yesterday los4elf Chandler hW aide of the feud It was reported that Chandler Chand-ler had a written brief from Weiss. In addition to discussing the case of Wilson. Veeck also made a format protest of his own against the Yankees; signing of Negro outfielder Luis Marquez of the Homestead Grays. Veeck said the Indians had a 120-day option on Marauez. Veeck was scheduled to begin today a trip to the . west coast where he will see holdaut pitcher Bob Lemon. Meanwhile, a host ofminori changes were made in the playing rules of baseball by ja. rules com-niittee com-niittee meeting here. And a three-rhan three-rhan sub-committee will be named t byApriL15 to rewrite and clarify all therules. . Outstanding Changes vHere are the outstanding changes: 1. When an intentional base on balls is being given; the catcher must stay in the catcher's box until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand instead of walking up .the baseline. 2. A pitcher shall be chargfd with a balk if he stands in position posi-tion to pitch without he ball or if he drops the ball while standing in position to pitch. 3. Calling the ball "dead" when a pitcher steps off the mound and droDS the ball was made optional instead of mandatory, allowing an alert baserunner to advance a base. 4. The so-called "claw first-baseman's first-baseman's glove with plenty of webbing was outlawed for the 1950 season. Several Other Suggestions Several other suggestions were considered at the nine-hours rules session and either turned down or set aside for further consideration. considera-tion. It appeared likely that minor differences now existing .between National . and American league rules would be wiped out. 1 Attending the rules meeting were Chandler, umpire Bill Stew art, National league; umpire Bill Summers, American league; um pire Tomniy Connelly, American league; President Clark bhaugn nsy.
