Oklahoma Baseball Tutor Goes
Out on Limb in Predicting' Air
Travel in Athletics After Wai
NORMAN, Okla., Jan. 6 Jack
Baer, Oklahoma's youthful base
ball coach, predicts that intercol
' legiate sports teams in the nation
" will go completely aerial in travel
to and from athletic events after
the war.
Baer sees the following advan
tages for air transportation of
college athletic teams after the
shooting is over:
1. Air travel will be cheaper.
2. Air travel will be less fatigu
ing on the athletes.
3. Air travel will be quicker and
fewer classes will be missed.
4. Air travel will be safe.
Planes Improved.
With tens of thousands of bomb
ers and other plane types avail
able after the war for transporta
tion purposes, and all types of
plane travel vastly improved,
transportation rates will go down,
Baer thinks. Also, college sports
teams traveling by air can often
go and return in one day where
formerly three and four were"
necessary, thus saving the expense
of additional meals and hotel res
ervations. Baer says a quick trip by plane
is far less fatiguing on the ath
letes themselves than a long hop
by railroad and bus. In fact, in
90 percent of their games, Sooner
fotball teams could work out Fri
day afternoon on their home field,
Sleep Friday night in their own
beds, and after flying to and from
the game Saturday, could again
rest Saturday night in their own
beds.
Own Planes.
Baer things college athletic de
partments of the future will own
their own transport planes, just
like high schools and colleges now
maintain their own busses.
"Say we were playing Kansas
at Lawrence," Baer illustrated,
"and we wanted to work out on
Kansas's field Friday afternoon.
We could leave Norman at 2 p. m.
arrive at Lawrence about 3:30
p. m., work out at the Jayhawk
stadium and be back home at
6 p. ni. in time for supper. Then
we could fly up again Saturday
for the game."
The Sooner football team of
1938, Big Six conference cham
pions, flew in giant clipper ships
from Florida to Cuba and return
on a brief sight-seeing trip after
their Orange Bowl defeat of Ten
nessee, and were enthusiatic about
plane travel.
Paine Returns
To O.U. Lineup
Allie Paine, competent Oklaho
ma junior from Oklahoma City, is
back for a trial with the Sooner
cagers this season. Paine played
with the Sooner club of 1940-41,
but was not in school last season.
Enrolled in the College of Busi
ness Administration, Paine is only
a medium-sized boy yet is capable
of good ball handling, shooting and
guarding, and despite a bother
some knee injury should. see lots
of action in the coming campaign.
