A proposition that the Republicans
confirm the appointments of Gov.
Richard C. McMullen in return for
Democratic support of the welfare
appropriations when the legislature
reconvenes next Tuesday. August 1,
has been rejected by the Republicans.
This became known Wednesday
night in an interchange of statements
by Josiah Marvel, Jr.. Democratic
State Chairman. and Ebe II. Chand-
Ter. Republican State Chairman.
In the meantime the Democratic
members of the legislature meeting
at the call of Governor McMullen in
Dover are reported to have decided
that, in view of the Republican
stand they will reserve decision on
the welfare appropriations until the
Republicans act on the appointments
Although leaders at the conference
declined to reveal the discussion that
took place. it was indicated that the
Democrats decided that when the
Legislature reconvenes they will in
sist that the first order of business
shall be the confirmation of the ap-
pointments.
Then if the Republicans refuse to
consider the list the Democrats
might continue their fight against
the appropriations to hospitals, fire
companies. and other welfare agen-
cies.
This move, it is believed, might SER
icusly endanger the avowed Republi-

during which the welfare appropria-
tons will be the only order of busi-

Great Game
Cornell, Penn Clash
Likely to Decide
Eost's Champion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-If the
boys can elbow their way through
the thick ivy trimmings, the East is
going to have one last bangup foot
ball Saturday this week.
Up at Cambridge, Mass, the blue
blooded Harvards and Yales will
reincarnate a football rivalry that
extends back to 1875. In its hey
day this spectacle was a bigger
sporting event than the World
Series and for the grads and under
grads of the schools concerned it
still rates as the only really i'm
portant gridiron date of any season.
About evenly matched, the two
elevens ought to have whale of
game, perhaps just as exciting as
any of the previous SIS.
However, there1l be other old
timers on the scene and some of
them are going to get bigger head
lines, too.
Cornell Out for Title.
Unbeaten Cornell's curtain closer
with Penn, for instance, may settle
the phantom Eastern championship
on the Big Reds capable shoulders.
These two teams have been battling
since 1898.
A younger claimant for Eastern
honors, Duquesne. will dig in
against Carnegie Tech in a game
that means lot in Pittsburgh and
vicinity. Pitts own Panthers, out
of the race for any kind of acclaim
for the first time in many years, will
be punching at Penn State in an
other feud that dates back to 1893.
The alumni will be entertained,
too, with such traditional tests as
Lehigh and Lafayette, annual foes
since 1884, and Princeton and Navy,
who met for the first time in 1892.
Columbia and Colgate have stirred
up hot lather since 1921 and no
venerable background is needed to
fire Manhattan and Villanova for
each other.
B. C.-Kansas State Headline.
The East's chief ntercectional
fray this week matches Boston Col
lege against Kansas State.
Some of the Eastern elevens
moved up their games to the No
vember % Thanksgiving Day and
the transfer appeared to have been
accomplished without casualties.
Syracuse nosed past Maryland,
10-7, about as expected, and the
strong Catholic University team
overwhelmed Long Island u, 35-14.
In other games Gettysburg
crushed Dickinson, 49-7; Franklin
and Marshall massacred Ursinus,
400; La Sale humbled Penn Mill
tary, 300, and Marshall's Thunder
ing Herd rolled over West Virginia
Wesleyan, 47-13.

RICHMOND+ Va, Nov. 24.-Duke
and Clemson, wary of the upset bug
that has nipped some of the Nations
strongest football teams this season,
meet underdog foes in Southern
Conference games Saturday that will
decide their respective claims to the
loops championship.
Neither team has been defeated
in the conference this year, but each
has dropped one game to outside
competition. The Blue Devils, with
four conference victories on the
credit<side of the ledger, meet North
Carolina State at Raleigh, while
Clemson, three to the good. goes to
Greenville, S. c., for a game with
Furman.
Duke, although heavily favored,
ran through the last heavy pre-
game drill at top speed yesterday,
while the Wolfpack, preparing an
attempt to stop Dukes power in
kind. groomed three teams in a
tapering-of drill.
Clemson Squad in Trim.
Clemson, with most ailing squad
members back in shape, worked at
smoothing out offensive kinks, with
Banks McFadden sending booming
punts downfield for Shad Bryant
to handle.
Furman, putting increasing faith
in its air chances, brushed up on its
passing attack, and then shifted over
to a defensive formation against
simulated air barrages a la Glenn
son.
That the upset bug still was
aboard in the conference was DEM
onstrated forcibly here yesterday
when a resourceful William and
Mary team coached by Carl Voyles,
Wallace Wade's former understudy
at Duke, upset previously unde-
feated Richmond, TO.

Westerns First Championship
Since 1905 Is CIeonIy Earned
In 7ussIe With Eastern

Proud of its first high school
football championship since 1905,
Western today toasted team beat
en- only once in nine starts in its
campaign. That defeat, 7-6, was
handed it by unbeaten Washington
Lee, pride of Northern Virginia and
acknowledged leader of Washing
tons metropolitan area. But that
loss was forgotten yesterday by
Western as it grabbed Capital lau-
rels in beating Eastern High, lat.
None of the bitter rivalry which
marked their earlier meeting and
precipitated scrapping between the
teams was evident yesterday as
Western stymied an Eastern rally
to grasp the public high title be-
fore a crowd of $500 at Central
Stadium. The game was hard fought
but clean.
Series Ends Harmoniously.
The public high season ended on
q note o. harmonyssin fact, as both
Eastern and Western teams huddled
after the game and gave lusty cheers
for each other. 1t was tribute
to officials who decided to ignore
the feuding in the previous Eastern
Western game, confident the youth
full athletes would direct their en-
thusiasm to more pleasant channels.
Western marched sc yards to
score in the first period, the drive
being capped when George Barnes
unleashed a 23-yard pass to Carmel
Nance in the end zone Barnes
plunged over right tackle for the
extra point.
The Red Raiders increased that
gap to 14-0 in the second period
after Jake FHlleary had punted out
of bounds on Eastern's 4-yard line
and Eddie leagues return punt was
