It President Heydler's proposal should come up, American league club owners indicated they would unanimously oppose the proposition, Not an American league owner or manager could be found who was in favor of the proposed innovation. {When the plan was presented yes- |terday, both owners and managers were inclined to treat the suggestion facetiously. | Club managers were expected ‘to | consummate several deals that have |been brewing at the meetings here |and in New York.

Trading in the National league meeting, however, was active, with indications that more trades would be announced today. Several minor league officials were on hand look- ing for everything from one player to an entire team.

'RESERVE STRENGTH NOW DECIDES GRID CONTESTS Strongest Aggregation of Players Is Generally Retumed the Victor. | New York, Dec. 13 (A—Frequent substitutions have reduced football from a contest between two repre- | sentative elevens to a test as to which of two institutions can pro- duce the strongest aggregation of players, according to an article in the current issue of the New York university alumnus weekly. The ar- ticle, based on figures drawn from the N. Y. U. season this year, asserts that many of these changes are made for tactical, not physical, rea- sons and are unnecessary. Figures for the N. Y.
