Heredity Link
InCuncer MAY
Be Determined

The possibility that the relation Of
cancer to heredity finally may be
determined was brought to light at q
closed meeting OF the National Ad-
visory Cancer Council yesterday when
a plan was sketched for research work
that would continue through several
generations.
As outlined by DR.. Ludwig Hektoen,
director of the council, the plan in
cludes making q careful record Of
patients suffering from cancer and
equally exhaustive records of their
children and grandchildren. The
records would be passed down from
one generation OF scientists to the
next.
People have been interested in the
relation Of cancer to heredity for
hundreds of years." he said. but it
has never been studied carefully ac-
cording to scientific principles"
DR.. c. c. Little of the Jackson Me-
mortal Laboratories, Bar Harbor, Me,
was appointed to head a committee Of
experimental geneticists who will de-
termine the practicability of the plan
and report back to the council.
The council went on record against
making cash grants to cancer clinics
engaged only in the treatment OF the
disease. According to DR.. Hektoen,
grants will be restricted to laboratories
and other institutions occupied with
cancer research work.

 TRADING RUMOR
 DEN|EDBY MACK
Tigers to Use Rudy York as Bait for Needed PIay-
 CTS; Rome in Comeback
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

ny OGOkGNlkS AAkA8AA024 flt United Press Stan Correspondcnt)
 New York, Nov. 29-(Up) A sure sign that the football season is on its. last legs comes from Philadel- phia with a red hot runor that the Athletics and Tigers will participate ina six-player deal before you get the final scores of the Jan. 2 Bowl games.
 The Philadelphia report has it that the As will send Third Base man Bill Werber, Outfielder Wally. Moses and First Basemar1 Dick 6ie- bert to Detroit in exchange for slugger Rudy York, Outfielder Chet Laabs or Roy Cullenbine, and rookie Infielder Benny Mccoy.
 Connie Speaks
 Connie Mack, who attended the Army Navy football game wrapped in several blankets, pooh-pool1s the trade rumor, saying, saying, Don't you think I'd know something about 1t if there was 6 deal up?"
 This particular Tiger-AS deal may be the figment of Philly scribe's imagination but there is definite assurance from Detroit that young Spike Briggs, General Man. ager Jack Zeller and Manager Def Baker are going to bring a lot of new faces into Briggs stadium next season.
 Walter o. Briggs, millionaire owner of the Tigers, wants a winner and he has told his son to make the necessary moves to break the Yam kees' stranglehold on the American league title.
 The left side of the Tigers infield needs bolstering, another outefilder is in demand and the Detroit pitch- ing staff requires patching up. The Tigers already have opened nego- tiations for Cecil Travis, washing toms hard-hitting shortstop.
 There is more than an even chance that the Tigers will use Rudy York as the big bait in any major deals they undertake. Be- cause of Hank Greenbergis pres- ence, York has been the orphan of the club. Since he must give way to Greenberg at first base, York has tried to catch, play third base and the outfleld with the Tigers with out any great success in any of these positions.
 In Tough Spot
 York's natural position Is first base but he1l never play that po- sition- as long asA41e,s with the Tig- CTS. In time he may develop into a fair catcher bu the Tigers have mt enough all-around strengh to carry him through the development stage and build 8 championship contender at the same time.
 Four clubs could use York at first base = Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis. Don't be surprised if York winds up with one of these clubs if the Tigers decide to dispose of him.
 If the Tigers land Travis from Washington and werber from the As, they have one of baseballs classiest inflelds completed by Gehringer at second and GreenberR at first. But they need another hard-hitting outelder to team up with Pete Fox and Dixie Walker and a 20-game winner on the pitch. ing staff before they can start malk- ing passes at the Tanks laurels.
 Schoolboy Rowe. back from the Texas league after laboring a year under the hot southwestern sun with promising results, may be the man the Tigers need to put new life in their pitching stan. A come- back by Rowe would make Detroit a team with possibilities in the 1889 pennant race.

DUKE TEAM TO
 MAKE FIRST TRIP TO ROSE BOWL
Coach Wallace Wade Has Been There Four Times;
 s. C. Unbeaten in Bowl
BY JACK GUENTHER
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Los Angeles, Nov. 29-Duke uni- versity's Blue Devils will stake their undefeated, united, unscored- on record against the University of California,s Trojans in the 22nd an- nual Rose bowl football game at Pasadena, Jan 2, 1899.
 Annual arguments over who would meet who, and why, were ended almost before they began this year when Duke, first major un-scored- on eleven since 1892, accepted the invitation of Southern California six hours after the 10 Pacific coast conference members had unani- mously electer the Trojans to carry the western banner.
 The big bowl lineup occasioned no surprise, but the selection of Duke was bitter blow to the hopes of two other major, perfect record elevens, Texas Christian and Tenn essee. Both had delayed answering the "feelers" of other bowl promo ters to be free to accept the Rose bowl invitation.
 Initial Trip
 ..It will. be the 1rst .RasadenA ap- pearance for the Blue Devils who clinched the invitation with last Saturdays 70 victory over Pitts burg, thus becoming the only major team with an unviolated goal line since Colgate emerged unscathed six years ago.
 In announcing the selection of Duke, Willis O. Hunter, director of athletics at U.S.C., said "it has al- ways been the aim of the Pacific coast conference and the tourna- ment of roses officials to perpetuate the east-against-the-west idea which was begun with the origin of this classic. The Duke record, undefeat- ed, united and unscored-on in nine games, is unequalled by that of any other team in tn enation. The ath- letic committee took cognizance of the fact that a majority of the players on the squad showed a de- sire to meet the Duke team
 The Trojans record is not so im- pressive. They were defeated by Alabama, who could do no better than tie for second in the south- eastern conference, and Washington fifth place club in the coast confer ence. California tied them for the Pacific title and was eligible for the Rose bowl nomination. U.SC.'s vic- tory over the Bears, however, was the clinching factor in favor of the Trojans.
 Notre Dame
 It is possible that Duke will face thrice defeated eleven in the bowl because use. meets Notre Dame, leading team for mythical national championship honors, Saturday. While it will be Dukes first trip to the bowl, it will be Coach Wall lace Wade's fifth. With Alabama elevens he beat Washington 20-19 in 1926, jed Sanford 7-7 in 1927 and licked Washingon State 24-0 in 1881. And in the Rose bowl in- augural of 1916 he. was slashing guard on the Brown team which bowed to Washington State, 14-O.
 Southern Cal boasts the best Rose bowl record in the land, hav- ing conquered all of its opponents in four starts. The Trojans won over Penn State 14-3 in 1923, wall loped Pitt 47-14 in 1930, defeated Tulane 21-12 in 1892 and blanked Pitt 35-O in 1883,

Ingersoll vs. Blake 6 Johnson is another promising af- fair, but as last Tuesdays rolling indicated when French took the American Brass leaders 2 out of 3 games, anything can happen.
