Roosevelt Eyes Three Member Sports Co ordinator
President Roosevelt signaled a three member committee to advise on continuing or abandoning certain organized sports during the war. Boxing racing baseball and football would be coordinated while tennis and golf tournaments are suspended. Most sports writers oppose a central coordinator, arguing issues can be handled locally or by other federal agencies. Representative Disney endorses exercise through play as a morale and fitness booster, while many urge no coordinator is needed for sport in this sense.
