It had pinned its hopes on receiving re-ceiving coast conference permission permis-sion to use freshmen players, but the conference recently turned thumbs down on the proposal. School officials simultaneously announced an enlarged physical fitness, .program, based on . the navy's wartime athletic policy. They said football would stm play a part in the school's activities,, activi-ties,, but intra-mural and service teams would be substituted for collegiate competitors.

The academy grounds have been closed to the general public since early December. Success and the season hasn't started. Thoi wie snippet f - ' 4 ' ' f, tt White Sox need Punch at Plate; Pitching Is Good ' r (Editor's Note Following Is the fifteenth of a series sizing np the major league clubs). TULSA, OKLA., April 8 (U.E) The Chicago White Sox, desperately desper-ately in need of batting punch, will go just as far this season as their : pitching takes them and that might be quite a way. Last season the White Sox had the weakest attack in the American League and the best pitching and finished third. In an effort to get more punch Manager Jimmy Dykes has made three changes. Wally Moses, obtained ob-tained in a deal with the Athletics, Ath-letics, will play center field and should add some kick to the batting bat-ting order. Moses, who hit .301 last season, never has batted under .300 in the majors and should be an improvement .offensively .of-fensively . over Mike Kreevich, who batted only .232 last season. Two new faces will be in. the infield Don Kolloway, who was laid up most of the last season with a lame leg, will play second and Bob Kennedy, who played regularly as a 20-year-old kid in 1940, has won back the third base job. Kolloway looks like he'll do a hangup job afield and bolster the attack. Presently Kolloway is leading' the ' club 'in hitting with an average of .378. Kennedy is batting .ZZl, and can slump considerably and still top Dario Lodigiani's .239 of last season. sea-son. Joe Kuhel at first and Luke Appling at short round out a good White Sox infield. WithPy Knickerbocker sold to the Ath-letics, Ath-letics, the White Sox reserve jin-flelders jin-flelders will be Billy Webb, LOdi- giani and maybe Murrell Jones, a young first baseman who hit. .284 at Shreveport. Flanking Moses' in the outfield will be Myril Hoag, who hit only .255 last year, in left and Taf t Wright, whose .322 . average led the White Sox in hitting, in right. If anything happens to any one of the White Sox first line outfielders out-fielders they'll be in bad shape because their utility man is 37-year-old Sam West put adrift by Washington, of three rookie outfielders out-fielders Harry Ssketchley, fresh out of U.C.L.A., has the edge but. he needs considerable seasoning. season-ing. , , " When you get to the White Sox pitching you have something to shout about. Chicago's "big five" of Thornton Lee, John juigneyi Edgar Smith, John Humphries and Ted Lyons will make up for a lot of deficiencies in other departments.. de-partments.. They won 64 games last year, only 13 less than the entire staff. Lee was , tops with 22 victories. Humphries won only four games but was kept on the shelf most of .the . season. When Coach. - Muddy Ruel told Dykes Humphries . was ready to go he didn't exaggerate. .Humphries reeled off three straight shutouts late in the campaign. Probably the- best . of the newcomers new-comers is Joe Haynes, Washington Washing-ton castoff who was around last season but ; pitched only - 28 innings in-nings and had - no decisions. Ruel has worked hard with Haynes and he may be ready to become a .starter.

I Tophand Liriksmeh Warm Up For Masters Tourney By BROOKS SMITH United Press Staff, Correspondent AUGUSTA. Ga, April 8 UTO There's a jinx hole on the Augusta National course where the masters tournament begins tomorrow and the pros think players who crack par at the green usually are in the money. If often works out that way and Sam Snead, for one, Is not taking any chances. . He played a practice round in 68 yesterday,, and then went back and played that jinx hole number 10 three times. "It's the toughest hole on the layout," Snead said. "If you beat par on number 10 the others should be easv." Sam Byrd, the ex-New York Yankee, explained it by saying that the "prevailing winds', make it difficult to control a drive and it is tough to get out of the woods on either side of the fairway. The 10th hole is a 465 yard dog leg to the left the longest par four on the course and the green has a slant which makes it difficult diffi-cult . to get that second shot to stay on. Last year Byrd, who finished third behind Craig Wood and .Byron .By-ron Nelson, was over par twice on that tough hole to knock him out of a least a tie for second. On the , other hand, wood picked up two birdies there during the four rounds,.' ... ,..y-r "It happens almost every year," said Byrd, who broke into the victory vic-tory column with his title in the Greensboro open two weeks ago. "The fellow who beats number 10 Is the one to beat for the title." With only one more day left for practice before the 72-hole tourney tour-ney gets started tomorrow, i All 'eligibles. were on, hand. Byrd and Jimmy Hines turned in the best scores yesterday with 65's. Byrd round included a nair of eagles. At least a dozen others cracked par, including 68's by Snead and leading money winner Ben Hogan. Byron Nelson, one of the top favorites fa-vorites and a great stretch player along with Hogan, carded a somewhat some-what unimpressive 71. Denny Shute had a 65 and Henry Hen-ry Pi card a 66. Other scores included in-cluded Harold (Jug) McSpaden. 71, Tony Penna. 71, Ralph Guldahl 70. Bobby 'Jones played a round but didn't report his core.

The same average was compiled by Frank Kovaca, who originally was hired for comic relief. He split 'em down the middle at 26 and 26. The great Perry dropped to 26 and 32 while Lea Stoefen won exactly two of his 29 matches. So much for the competitive side of the junket. As for the business side, it was conducive to hysteria. Titans, Inc., was har-rassed har-rassed by every element known to mankind. All the players were sick or injured at one time or another. The military took over the armories where they were to play.
