Game Is Among Events
Of Campaign to Curb
Infonti|e Paralysis
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE sports
world is ready to do its bit to help
stamp out infantile paralysis.
Opening its campaign to raise
money for that purpose, the National
Sports Council of the Committee
for the Celebration of the Presidents
Birthday has booked a national high
school football championship-the
Starlet Bowl game-for Miami, Fla,
Christmas Day.
But this game, important as it
is, will be only one of a thousand
sports events sponsored by the Sports
Council, headed by Grantland Rice,
New York columnist, to raise money
Teams for the Starlet Bowl will be
selected by a committee of sports
writer's and be played in the Orange
Bowl Stadium, scene of an annual
intercollegiate game.
High schools throughout the coun-
try are being notified of the game,
and participants must meet eligibility
standards of the National Federation
of State High School Associations.
Miami High School, which for the
past II years has taken on an op-
ponent Christmas Day, is being
touted as one Of the possible repre-
sentatives in the game.

Ohio State, on the strength of
its 61-0 victory over hapless Chi
cago, went from seventh to second
place in total offense-gains by
rushing and passing-with a game
average of 319.7.
Texas A. and NJ, ranked second
in this weeks Associated Press poll,
was the best defensive team against
both passes and rushing, holding
the opposition to an average of 87.6
yards game in eight contests.
Texas Christian, with a 1893
average a game in passing gains,
led in that respect, followed by
Southern California, with 1905.

Texas A. and M. apparently had

Defeat for Them Today
Means Ties in Both
High School Loops

Washington high school football
teams were to bring to a close today
torrid title series with possibilities
of a two-team tie in the western
division and three-way deadlock
in the eastern.
Central, defending champion, was
to play Western at Central Stadium
and a tie game would leave each
even in the western division stand
ings. In that. event, the team max
ing most first downs would be de-
clared the winner. Should first
downs be even, some other method
will have to decide.
In the eastern division, Eastern
was to play Tech and should Tech
win it would be thrown into a
tie with Eastern and Anacostia
Victory would give Eastern the Sec
tional title. In case of a triple tie
the winner probably will be decided
by draw.
Other games today were to bring
st. Johns against Washington-Lee
at Ballston, Va; Georgetown Prep
against Loyola of Baltimore at
Garrett Park, and Woodward against
Tome at Monument Grounds No. 3
St. Adams was to play st. Pauls in
