ANOTHER 'FIRST' FOR JACKIE ROBINSON -- FOOTBALL MANAGER Jackie Robinson, who broke "the color line" in major league baseball, when he moved up from Montreal Royals to. the Brooklyn Dodgers, is going .to set another "first in sports" when he becomes the first Negro to run a professional football club. He is shown above (centre) posing with Saul Rosen, left, acting commissioner of the Continental Football League and Jerry Jacobs, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, the league's newest club. Robinson, who starred in football at UCLA, more than 25 years ago, has been named the manager of the new Brooklyn Dodgers entry. ~--AP Wirephoto Sedan Car Types Taking Over Sports Car Automobile Rally VANCOUVER (CP)--Sports cars are gradually losing their grip on what was once their exclusive domain--the auto- mobile rally. The family sedan has made such a mark in rallying in Canada that in the five-year history of the 4,000-mile rally, only two sports cars have managed to place and neither of these won, But Ed Deak, a Vancouver eabinet-maker and artist, and his five-man crew hope to break the jinx when they pilot three Datsun 1600S _ sports cars in this year's rally start- ing here April 30 and ending six days later in Quebec City. Datsun has decided to buck the trend with its entry of the three sports cars--the first time the Japanese factory has entered a team of sports cars in an international rally. The company has had se- dans competing successfully in rallies for 10 years includ- ing a fourth-in-class finish in this year's rugged Monte Carlo rally in Europe. That Texas Temperature Was Shock To Canadians HUNTSVILLE, Tex. (AL)-- "I stepped off that air-condi- tioned train from Canada and it was so hot I almost got back on," says Canadian Dennis Lindstrand. That was the introduction to Texas four years ago for Lind- strand and fellow Albertans Al Symington and Dale Stokke, all baseball players for Sam Hou- ston State College. Since that torrid September lay when the temperature was in the high 90s, the three have played important parts in Sam Houston's going to four straight U.S. national baseball tourna- ments. Lindstrand, a left - handed pitcher from. Camrose, Alta., The only outward sign that the three cars are anything out of the ordinary is the battery of lights--two head- lights, two spots and two fog lights--mounted at the front. At the rear is a huge spotlight which serves as a backup light. POWER ADDED The motors have been "heefed up'"' but Deak is care- ful not to say how much. 'We can't tip off the opposition," he said, referring to three other team entries in this year's rally --Renault, Fiat and Lotus Cortina.

The underside has been shielded with a metal plate to protect vulnerable parts from bumps and flying rocks. Navigating equipment in- cludes clipboards, calculators, maps, dual electric odometers (trip mileage indicators) and a speed pilot, a favorite piece of rally equipment among the more experienced or affluent competitors. The cars will be fitted at the start with four snowtires. Each will carry two additional | wheels and tires. The crews present formida- ble opposition for the 120-odd other drivers and co-drivers.

"But we won't know until near game time whether or not he'll be fit to play. "He took treatment for the leg today, but it's stiil stiff and he'll get further treatments here," The Wings, who dropped a 4-2 decision to Montreal Thursday night in Detroit, also were on the losing end Sunday. Canadi- ens beat Hank Bassen, Crozier's replacement, for two goals to win 2-1. Crozier was chosen for the No. 1 all-star team in the 1964- 65 season and won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league's top rookie the same year. "If Roger's not okay by game time, we'll go with Bassen," Abel said. George Gardner from Detroit's farm club in the American League at Pittsburgh likely will act as back-up man to Bassen.
