he will attend the annual conference of
the Football Coaches' association.
He will return Jan. 12.
The Oklahoma-Kansas game will be shown during the conference. Outstanding games from all over the nation will be reviewed, Sauer said.
Senate To Probe Vote Fraud Case Bond Gamblers
Coach Sauer termed the meeting "sort of a clinic" for coaches. Mentors from all sections will discuss their problems and methods. One problem to be discussed is the softening of equipment to cut down injuries.
"Iinjuries will always occur in football," the coach said. "Some think that the new plastic helmets are too hard and hurt too many people. They may be re-designed."

Washington — (UP) — Sen. Homer Ferguson, R., Mich., today put disability retirement of military officers and wartime speculations in government bonds high on a list of inquiries for his new super-investigating group.
Charless that Attorney General Tom Clark had whitewashed 1945 Democratic primary frauds in Kansas City, Mo., also were expected to be investigated by the new group
The way was opened for Ferguson to investigate virtually any government activity he wants when senate Republican policy makers yesterday approved setting up a powerful new investigating group in the senate executive expenditures committee. Gets Bread Field
The new group is slated to take over when the senate war investigating committee dies Jan. 31. But it will have a much broader field than the war investigating group which was established in 1941 with then Sen. Harry S. Truman, D., Mo., as its chairman.
Ferguson, the most active war investigating subcommittee chairman, was given the nod to head the new setup. He said he planned to consolidate the war investigating committee activities with those of his surplus property subcommittee of the executive expenditures committee.
Meyers Inquiry The Springboard
Ferguson said the investigations into the military system of retiring military officers for disability and into wartime speculation in bonds would use as a springboard the senate war investigating committee's inquiry into the affairs of retired Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers.
He said he expected the membership of his executive expenditures subcommittee to continue as it is. Its members are Ferguson, Senators Bourke B. Hickenlooper, R., Ia, Joseph R. McCarthy, R., Wis, Herbert R. O'Conor, D., Md., and John L. McLellan, D., Ark. McCarthy and O'Conor, like Ferguson are members of the expiring war investigating committee.

Gas Shortages May Cut Travel
Washington, — (UP) — Gasoline shortages may restrict pleasure driving this summer. Max Ball, director of the interior department's gas and oil division, said today.
Ball said producers face a shortage of gasoline because they have adjusting refinery yields to provide fuel for chilly homes this winter.
He said the transportation outlook has improved in recent weeks and predicted that tankers probably will be able to meet demands after February. But he warned that the shortage of crude oil itself will keep the situation "tough."
