END ZONE SEATS SELL FOR $4.4O
 AND LIMIT SET
Colleges And Rose Bowl Committee Cut Up TO-
 900 Tickets
BY ARTHUR WHITNEY

United Press StaR Correspondent
 Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 11.-(UP)- The great encampment outside the Rose Bowl stirred itself this morn ing and, led by 8 quartet of Ne- braskans, charged past the windows where 15,0O0 end zone tickets for the Stanford-N Nebraska New Years Day game were being dispensed at $40 each.
 Perseverance, played the major part in getting tickets. The first com- ers-the first Served-were the thou sands who began to arrive before dusk yesterday. The hopeful poured into the Arroyo Seco until dawn to- day.
 Patient Fan
 Ticket-buyer number one was Fred Carrico of North Fork, Neb.. who camped before an empty ticket booth shortly after noon yesterday. Heavily clothed against the cold night winds, his pockets stuffed with sandwiches, he waited there until the window went up at S:30 a. m. Q1:30 a. m. EST) today.
 Behind him was a second Nebras- kan who refused to give his name because he laid of to gain his place. Behind him were two more Nebras- kans, John Ford and Max Harms of Shelby, Neb.
 The tickets which reached Lin- coin, Neb.," they said, were snapped up so fast we didn't get a chance. 50 we climbed into cur car and came out to Pasadena as fast as we could. .n
 Behind them were thousands of other football fans who for l2 hours more or less, had camped outside inc windows. Some played bridge around card tables. Some slept huddled in blankets. Many others talked the night through of TT" formations and Nebraska power.
 The tickets they waited to buy only four allowed to person - were the worst in the Stadium, in the end zone, and 2,5OO of them were for seats in temporary bleachers, also in $3.30. ~
 They were the only tickets Of s85oo available to the public. The other 1U,OOO had been divided between the schools and participants in the tournament of Roses that precedes the game.
 To Stanford went 45,0O0 tickets and to Nebraska 7,50O. They were reserved for students, alumni and friends Of the colleges. The tourna- ment participants, including all the members of the bands and occupants of the floats in the pre-game parade, got 10000 tickets and founders of the classic, 1000.

BREAK UP BEARS
 NEW CRY IN PRO WORLD
Chicago Club Has Player Market ''COrnered"-
 Harmon Included
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

(Untied Press Staff COrrespOndent) Washington, Dec. 11.-(UP)-The Chicago Bears today were in fair way becoming the "New York Yan- kees" of professional football.
 They hold the worlds professional football title, have corraled the pick of 1940's crop of All-Americans and have had league rule passed to curb their future attempts to cor- ner the player market.
 In all the history of the National Football league no club has dominat- ed the circuit as the Bears do today. As the baseball world set up the cry, Break up the Yankees pro football is shouting, Break up the Bears"
 That is easier said than done. There is nothing decrepit about the Bear squad which crushed the Washington Redskins, 73-O, for the worlds title, but George Halas, own- er-coach of the Chicago club, has no intentions of standing pat.
 Cream of the Crop.
 From yesterdays draft he landed
 
 Michigan's new Red Grange" Nor man Standlee, Stanford's 2l0-pound fullback; Don Scott, Ohio States husky quarterback; Dave Rankin, Purdue's great end; Charlie O'Rourke, Boston Colleges Dead-Eye Dick passer, and Fred Hartman, Rice's giant tackle.
 Since he drafted 20 players he won't sign them all but there are certain ones Halas has his heart set on. Tommy Harmon, the lad who insists he won't play pro football, is one.
 Harmon wired Carl Storck, Ma tional league president, yesterday and requested him to withdraw his name from the draft. But he wait ed until after the draft meeting to do it. That makes about the 87th time within a month Harmon has said he won't play pro football. Maybe he won't but there's one man who thinks differently.
