Rose Bowl Bid for Big Ten Only
Up to Faculty Vote Today

The Big Ten for the past several
years has banned post-Season games.
A majority vote of the 10-man
Faculty Committee is all that's nee
essary to carry the question. How
ever, if the vote is less than unani-
nous, the matter must be left open
for 60 days for possible protests from
member schools. Two months later
another vote would be taken and If
a majority still favored the move,
it would stand approved.
If the committee approves the
matter and lifts the ban on post
season games, the plan probably
would go into effect this season, pit
ting the Midwest and Coast teams
against each other in the next Rose
Bowl game.

There are $50 men in the starting

ognized ability when the chips are

hitting the ball farther and figures

Thus We come to the Eastern
trio-Turnesa, who plays this course
often and plays it well; Ray Billows
who has won the State title here
and this year won a 72-hole medal
tourney with 283, five under par,
and Dick Chapman, who is Winged

To Find Louis Foe
BY GRANTLAND RICE.


NEW YORK, Sept (N.AN.AD.-
With the Conn-Pastor argument out
of the way the next formal heavy
weight inspection brings on Pat
Comiskey and Max Baer.
Those who saw Conn and Pastor
exchange their wares last night can
do their own figuring in regard to
a coming challenger for Joe Louis.
Many of them would prefer to wait
upon the Baer-Comiskey meeting
before offering any verdict, in case
a verdict is needed. 1t will take
something better than an average
performance to steam up any pub
lie frenzy.
We still believe the best move is
to match last nights winner with
the winner of the Baer- -Comiskey
duel, and let nature take its course
This is the only logical arrange
ment Outside of the four heavy
weights involved in these September
set-tos there are no others who are
worth cheering at the present mo-
ment.
