RUBBER INDUSTRY BECOMES SOREST
 SPOT FOR LABOR
Principal Union Leaders Doing Everything to
 Avert Great Strike

Washington, April 1-U.P.) - The rubber industry became the sore spot to-day of a disturbing la- bor situation involving millions of workers in half a dozen major in- dustries. Administration concilia- tors, successful in averting a walk out of S50.00O coal miners, had high hopes of effecting q truce in several industries where strikes have been threatened for weeks. Principal union leaders. who made verbal 'peace" agreement with President Roosevelt two weeks ago appeared desirious of keeping that pact, at least until congress has time to enact pending labor legis- lation.
 Goodyear Rubber Company em- pioyes at Akron took a strike vote yesterday. More than 5000 union members participated. The result is to be made known probably at midnight Tuesday. A walkoN in the industry would involve 35,O00 workers.
 The vote was taken because of refusal of the company to recog- nize the American Federation of Labor, union men s aid. Similar votes are scheduled for next Sun day in the Firestone and Goodrich | plants.
 Peace agreements were the ba-' sis for action Saturday when John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers Union head and second only to President William Green in power | in the American Federation of La- bor agreed to the NRA plan to continue existing wage contracts for bituminous coal miners until June 6.
 His fortnight position was ex- pected to have immediate effect in influencing steel, automobile. rub Der and textile unions to hold up action until congress disposes of the pending extension of NRA, the 30-hour week bill. and the Wagner Labor disputes bill.

SEATED BALLOT
 BOXES HOLD VOTE

Akron. O.. April 1-(UP)-Seal- cd ballot boxes today held the re- suits of the first strike vote taken in organized labor's new effort to obtain recognition in the tire and rubber industry.
 Approximately 5000 union em- ployes of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company voted in the strike poll. Balloting will remain open until Wednesday night after which the votes will be counted. United Rubber Workers Union locals at the Goodrich and Fire stone Companies will vote next Sunday on similar strike proposals.
 Labor leaders would not hazard a guess as to the outcome of the Goodyear vote. At mass meetings preceding the balolting, however, 1t was significant that workers cheered wildly every time the word "strike" was mentioned.

T OUISIANA STATE still leads the
Nation, according to the William
son system, although it lost to Rice,
while Southern Methodist. Minnesota

through the season unbeaten and un-
tied.
Williamson claims that Rice was at
its peak for the opening game with
Louisiana State that it won 10 to Z,
and points out that never again did
MacCauley and Wallace Of Rice per-
form so brilliantly. He also points out
that Louisiana State played the hard
est schedule in the country and did so
successfully, so he gives 1t rating of
99.5, all but perfect.
The aerial and line circus of South
ern Methodist Is rated next at 97.9.

and a brace of "breathers." Mime

a strong schedule, but against opposi-

Bergman will move his Cath

to the Riding and Hunt Club tomor-
row as the Cardinals begin final prepa-
rations for their Orange Bowl game

The Brookland boys, kept in shape
recently by calesthenic drills, have
lacked body contact. and Bergman
feels the move to the dirt floor Of the

to dig in and sock each other.

chances are expected to hinge greatly
on the weather, Florida's climate now
would not favor either club. Yester-

r UNIVERSITY, Miss, December
25.-When Catholic Univer-
sity takes the field against the
University Of Mississippi at
Miami New Year day it will be called
on to face in Rab Rodgers and Ray
Hapes a duo Of nimble- footed. hip
swinging halfbacks that have not been
stopped all season,
Rodgers, q senior who Is closing
three years Of varsity service against
the Cardinals. and Hapes sopho-
more, have been two of the most ef-
fective runners in the South this year.
Neither of these gridders figure great
deal in the passing and kicking Of
their teams. It is In leather Juggling
that they have won most Of their
laurels.
Rodgers All-Star Pick.
A S A climax to his three years Of
= service, Rodgers was chosen an
all-Southeastern halfback, while little
Hapes has been touted as the best
open-field runner in the loop.
Throughout the season these ''touch-
down twins" have been the sparkplugs
of the Red and Blues offense. When
one failed to produce the other was
unstoppable. Generally it was con-
test between the two for individual
honors.
Against such teams as Mississippi
State, Tennessee, Southwestern, Flor
ida. Centre, st. Louis University. Sc
vance and West Tennessee Teachers
they have produced touchdown runs OF
from rs to SO yards In length.
Hapes' total of 73 points. which led
the scoring parade in the Southeastern
Conference, and Rodgers so, which
placed third on the list. attest to the
fact that they have done well through
out the season.
Great Stars In School.
Both we're four-letter men back In
their high school days.
Rodgers competed six years on Tu-
pelo (Miss.) High School basket ball
team, five on the base ball squad and
four on the track and foot ball teams.
His athletic record at the university
has been Of a similar nature, for he has
made three letters in base ball, foot
ball and basket ball.
Hapes, who halls from Cardengrove
(Calif.), was an all-conference star In
these four major sports, and bids fair
to earn the same ratings while a stu
dent at Ole Miss.
