Grid League Prexy Asks Squad Cuts By RALPH BERNSTEIN PHILADELPHIA (®—Apparently National Football League owners believe their $30,000 a year com- missioner has been crying in his beer—probably the brew that spon sors the league’s television and radio programs. NFL boss Bert Bell has been bemoaning the financial status of the majority of his 12 team league. But last night, the owners had their say. In effect, they told Bell that there is nothing wrong with the financial structure of their league. They did it by rejecting a Bell proposal to cut squads to a team a year. As a result, each club will be allowed 33 men on the active ros- ter with an indefinite number of “injured” players available if they have been on the required reserve list for 30 days. Actually, this means a club will be able to carry up to 40 players.

Henry's deter- mination flashed a warning sign to the high school tennis team that their positions might not be so se- cure for the upcoming stiff state high school schedule. The fifth seeded team, Stu Yates and Johnny Sellers further confused the dopesters by elimi- nating the third seeded team, Leeburg Knowles and George matches seen this season. Yate's tremendous net play coupled with Selier’s effortless ground strokes clinched the v dict for the underdogs in the three set match.

In the past few days, the In- dians’ general manager has re- ceived a series of ‘no's’ Early Wynn, Bob Lemon ant Garcia when he plunked cont in frout of them Together, they won the ani total of 67 games fcr the In? last season. But while they ery “We v raise,” Greenberg proba pay cut ready for a fouri pitcher—Bob Feller. Feller hasn't received his con- tract yet—he’s due back in Cleve- land today—but persons close to the club said it is almost a cer- tainty that he’ll get reduced. He had a poor showing of nine victories and 13 losses last season and was believed earning $50,000 on the strength of a great preced- ing. season (22-8) and big drawing power. : Whatever Feller is cut, it seemed likely that it won't make up for all the money his fellow pitchers are asking. The requested salar- ies, with raises in parentheses, are believed to be roughly as follows: Wynn — $35,000 ($5,000); Lemon —$45,000 ($5,000); Garcia—$30,000 ($9,000). Feller’s cut, at most, would amount to 25 per cent, or $12,500, assuming the $50,000 is accurate. The final “no” of the Big Three was expressed by Garcia down at the stadium yesterday, even though the conversation was jovial and in a kidding vein. This was the exchange: Sports Mirror By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO '— The United States Military Academy announged Earl Blaik would re- main as athletic director and head football coach.
