from Wheaton to the Patuxent

APOSTOLI RULES
HEAVY FAvORITE

NEW YORK, Nov. II G.N.SJ.
With the betting odds ranging as
high as q to l, and, repeatedly,
all the way to to l for careful
shoppers, Fred Apostoli today was
a top-heavy favorite to beat young
Corbett, Sd, tomorrow night for the
middleweight championship of San
Francisco and New York.
What those odds are based on
apparently, is the fact that Apos-
toll is only "a years old and Cor
bett is all of the 80 to which he
confesses. The latter also has been
fighting for close to two decades,
and some are wondering if he will
be able to even stand up, much
less fight, from, say, the ninth
or tenth round on in the 15-round
battle.
While Apostolic lost when the
two San FranciscanS last met and
while, additionally, he has looked
pretty awful in his workouts, he
has the zing of youth on his side
and they say that will carry him
right on past the veteran south
paw. In fact, they report that
Apostoli was coming along toward
the close of their other bout, a
hereunder in their native Frisco,
and Corbett was fading. The
critics along cauliflower row are
eager to know what Corbett is 60
ing to do with those five extra
rounds tackled on to this one if he
just barely could handle 10 on
that other occasion.
The observers also reiterate
that Apostoli was about to be
overtaken by that attack of ap-
pendicitis and they advance
other reasons for his other defeat,
but everything sooner or later
goes back to that weight handicap
which Corbett will carry into the
ring.

Norman Brady scored in the first
few minutes of play for the Loyola

around left end for the extra point.
Scheldt raced for a second touch
down from the 80 after taking a
pass from Brady. In the second
quarter, Brady passed to John Far
ley for the final home score. The
point was converted when Preston
Rowland went through center.
Georgetown broke into the Scor-

FREIGHT RATE PROBE
TOOPEN THIS WEEK
Agriculture Department Plans to
Push Pleas for Cuts on
Farm Produce.
BY the Associated Press

by tfe Associated FleSS.
The Agriculture Department intends
to inaugurate this week an lnvestiga-
tion of freight rates charged by rail-
roads and other transportation serv-
ices.
Secretary Wallace has created a
Division of Transportation in the de-
partment to conduct the investigation
and ultimately to prosecute requests
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for reductions in the rates on
farm products. He acted under au-
thority granted in the new crop con-
troll law.
The survey will be directed by DR..
Ralph L. Dewey. formerly a professor
of economics at Ohio State Univer-
sity, but more recently chief of the
Division Of Transportation in the Gen.
sus Bureau.
While Secretary Wallace has as
serted that transportation charges on
farm products were out of line with
prices farmers received for their prod
ucts, officials connected with the new
division said it was unlikely any at
tempts would be made in the imme-
diate future to obtain reductions.
They said cognizance would be
taken OF the present distressed finan-
cial condition of the railroads. Any
fight now for rate reductions might
serve to complicate the railroad prob
lem, they added.
