Wilkinson Pushes Early Freshman Report For Spring Football
Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson proposes an eight day earlier freshman report and earlier varsity arrival, reducing spring drills from 20 to fit a tighter 35 day window. He argues freshmen lag behind veterans and aims to shorten the gap with limited spring practice, while noting the NCAA may oppose. He favors fundamentals, balance, tackling, and discovering each player's best position to assemble the best 22. He also plans variations from the split T and mentions Kansas coach Jack Mitchell adopting new patterns as spring drills begin for KU.

Proposals for Major Leagues Draw Mixed Reactions Friday
Friday proposals to expand and realign the major leagues drew mixed reactions from baseball officials. Del Webb proposed realigning leagues with Philadelphia joining the American League and Philadelphia Athletics entering the National League, a plan met with skepticism from Phillies owner Bob Carpenter and Athletics president Arnold Johnson. Lou Perini urged expanding to 10 clubs by 1960 and 12 later, with talk of adding New York City, Houston or Dallas–Fort Worth, Toronto, and even plans for Caracas and Mexico City in coming years.
