Proposal to Hire Leo Here Meets Officials' Silence

While rumors filled the air as to who the next manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers would be, the erstwhile pilot of the Flock still had not announced his plans for sitting out 365 days of suspension from Happy Chandler's portion of organized baseball. University officials were without comment on the CRIMSON's, suggestion that the Lip be offered a job as assistant baseball coach here.

William J. Bingham, director of the H.A.A., just back from a midweek trip to New York City, barked a guarded "No comment," when interviewed yesterday morning in his curcular office in the basement of the Union. Adolph Samborski, Varsity baseball coach, also turned non-committal adding that, "You fellows are just trying to get me to say something."

Undergraduates React

But as the University moguls kept their thoughts to themselves, undergraduates registered mixed emotions. Tom Connally, manager of the Crimson nine, after expressing doubt that Leo would accept the job, came up with the newest interpretation. "If we get Leo on the first base coaching box and maybe Laraine Day at third, we better give our own coaches ironclad contracts or they'll get squeezed out of their position."

Saul Mariaschin, shortstop for the team, backed up the Lip. "As a native of Brooklyn," he asserted, "I naturally formed an attachment for the Dodgers, but Chandler's action certainly didn't help the game of baseball. Leo's a great manager anywhere."
