Sam, it seems, is considerable of a baseball player and the astute Branch Rickey hopes eventually to make a major leaguer out of him. in Scenes and Persons in the Current News Improve Football Code JOHN Q. SPECTATOR will more scoring in college football games next fall If tha football coaches who recently decreed two major changes in the rules art correct In their predictions. Coaches agreed that thers hava been too many tls games, that thera hai not been enough scoring in recent years. They admitted that tha defense haa been emphasized with not enough attention paid to the offense. The importance of victor? has been so strongly stressed that coaches hava been trying too hard to keep the opposition from scoring And heres what the members of the national football rules committee did about itl 1. They decided to allow three Incomplete forward paises to be throw into the end tone In the aame aeries of downs without a touchbsck being ruled and the ball going to the other team. 8. They decreed that the ball should bo brought in fifteen yards from the side line Instead of ten on plays. Advantages cited by coaches in tha changes are these: The new rule allowing three incomplete forward passes into the end zone will help the offense near the goal line. It will force the defense to stay back and guard against a possible second or third pass after one has been incomplete. The rule moving the ball fifteen yards in from the sidelines will give the offensive team a better chance to execute plays. The professionals have that nils. Many authorities regretted the coaches decision not to permit forward passing from any point back of the line of scrimmage, instead of retaining the five yard rule. Such a change, they predict will come next year and bring the college game more in line with the pro game. Mr. PORTS his- baseball debut will Sammy arouse some rather intriguing speculations.

She will meet friends of yours who may be In a reminiscent mood, and if youve deceived her with some artistic lying, the shock may be greater to her nervous system than you have any idea of. Even in this day and age there are women who are idealists about love. They wont accept They wont believe They carry around with them a glorious vision of perfect love and the breath of suspicion corrodes their happiness and shatters their dream. There ere dozens of times when the truth u far better left unsaid when a in order and when deception u kinder than cruel fact. But if a woman is so constituted that knowledge of her future husband's infidelities is absolutely necessary to her happiness if is wiser to tqke no chances about reading her e book of pretty white lies.

It seems that Baker is credited with being an arch signal stealer and is so cute about figuring out the pitchers' tosses that he has been able to telegraph them to Greenberg before., they arrive. The result has been that Greenberg has become one of the greatest slug gers of the game. Greenberg criticized misinformation that had Baker responsible tor his success at the plate.

Sammy Baugh, of course, might take comfort in remembering what Riggs Stephenson did. The "Or Hoss" who paced the Chicago Cubs outfield a few years ago is probably the most dramatic exception to the sad rule. Stevie, who was one of tke most consistent hitters of his day, was an All American fullback at Alabama. Another grid star, Eddie Morgan, made good in the big leagues after a distinguished career at Tulane. He played first successfully for the Boston Red Sox, but he was never In Stephenson's 13 Asa S.

Top Command in Japanese Invasion would be a happy TOM: It for me if I could hand out a recipe to people like you whose lives have become complete- ly tangled up with a series of mistakes if I could say comfortably: Do this and that and yon will suddenly find yourself divorced from the wrong girl and married to the right one. Over and over again these piteous stories come in of misunderstandings and lack of faith which led to hopeless marriages. And then of reconciliation and love too late. And then the eternal cry; What shall I do? How shall I get out of my marriage which has lasted It years and resulted in several children, so that I can marry the girl Ive always wanted? Believe me, we always have to come back to the same old theme song, however dreary the sound of it: that unless two people married to the wrong mates, can break away cleanly, secure a divorce and start life over again, there is no happiness nor any hope for the love they bear each other. Men and women undertake more than just living with each other, when they marry. They unconsciously sign a contract which is far more binding than it looks when you read the divorce statistics. They form associations and habits together they are bound by a million infinitesimal ties, even though they have never loved each other truly and when the time comes for a great break, it isnt only the children who stand in the way of the divorce. It's their deep unconscious dependence on each other their unwillingness to break up a married life which has become almost an institution to them. And so, even when theyre blinded by a great love and dazzled by a radiant hope of happiness they stand back, fearful to make the great break; and too weak to give up the new hope of happiness. And the result of that u miserable uncertainty for two lovers and the utter demoralization of two households.
