Nine Owners
FAVOR PASSING
College Draft
BY SID FEEDER

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA -(A)
Mine of the National football
leagues ten club-owners favored
passing up the annual draft of
college players at the regular
December meeting today, be-
cause of the doubt over the
loops wartime future.
The big question among most
of the owners heading for the
meeting room was in trying to
decide just how to 60 about can
ceiling the draft and still stay
within the loops constitution.
Unanimous vote is required
for cancellation, and the owners
couldn't get it, because of the
one member opposed. However,
the others couldn't see any good
reason for having the draft, be-
cause no one knows where the
drafted players-most of whom
are slated for military duty -
will be by next Fall.
The actual question of suspen-
sion of all operations for the du-
ration isn't expected to come up
until the annual meeting next
April or a special meeting later.
But more than one of the mag
mates already were convinced
that there would be no more Ma
tional League football until the
war is over.
Danny Reeves, head of the
Cleveland Rams, already has
said he was in favor of suspen-
sion. Corp. Alexis Thompson,
owner Of the Philadelphia Ea-
giles, indicated as he left for his
Army post at camp Patrick Hen
ry (Virginia) that he felt de-
cision TO close down for the Gu-
ration might be a good thing, de-
pending, Of course, on the trend
Of the war in the next few
months.
AS for the draft, all signs
pointed to the development that
somehow the nine opposed own
ers would find legal loophole
to pass it up, for the time being
at least. Chief among the meth
DDS suggested to get it by this
meeting were Cd immediate ad
journment as soon as the meet
ing goes into session, GU failure
Of quorum to appear at the
conclave, and CD neat little
trick which might be called the
silent filibuster."

Connie Schwoesler Wraps
Up Bowling Championship

The 25-year Madison, Wis,

72-game finals, inning So
games and losing only II while
smashing a total of 1887 pins

He kept the championship in

monopolized by his rival, Ned

four years. Day, tagged out be-
fore entering the final three
day stretch after beating john
ny Crimmins of Detroit in a
special 9O-game challenge match,
finished in eighth place with
1916 points. Another Badger
state ace, Frank Benkovic OF
Milwaukee, vaulted into the
runner-up spot with 332.4O
points to make Wiscon: S DOM
ination of the meet complete.
Andy Varipapa, the Brooklyn
instructor, placed third, and
Crimmins stepped into fourth.
Buddy Bomar, the Houston, Tex,

an average of 210.8, faded into

Bears Tally
Is Discussed

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ia -(P
Not that it made any differ
ence, but several national foot
ball league experts today
were still discussing the posi-
bility that the Chicago Bears
lone touchdown against the
Washington Redskins yesterday
might have been illegal. The
Redskins won 14-6.
The touchdown was scored by
Take Lee Artoe in the second
quarter when Washington Half
back Dick Todd, starting line
buck, dropped the ball. Artoe
charged in, picked up the loose
ball and galloped As yards to
score.
National Pro League rules say
a player can run with a loose
ball only when it is fumbled,
but that when a ball is "muffed"
either on a lateral pass or bas
pass from center, it can not be
advanced. In that case, 1t is
dead" at the point of recovery.
The question over yesterdays
play was whether Todd "muf-
fed the ball on a bad pass from
center or whether he had pos
session of it, was running, and
then fumbled it. There Is no
doubt, the pass from center was
wide. But to many it appeared
Todd had caught it and had run
a step or two before dropping 1t.
Others maintained he never had
actual possession, that it was
huff, and that the touchdown
should have been called back.
Coach Dutch Clark of the Cleve-
land Rams was one of these.

Georgia Style

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14-(P)
-UCLA's Bruins, new football
champions of the far west, par
ticipated today in a previeW OF
the Georgia style of play.

day before the New Years

Bowl. Line Coach Ray Richards
had charge OF the squad today.
The boys left heavy equipment
in their lockers and were at
tired in light pants and sweat
shirts.
Hollingsworth, one t m c
Bruin player, was reluctant to
be drawn into a comparison OF
Georgia and the coast team. He
predicted it should be one of the
best attractions, from the stand
point of the crowd, in all Rose
Bowl history.

Bruins Ahead
in Rink Loop
BY the Associated Press

First place in the National
Hockey League was in the hands
of single team for the first
time in nearly week today,
with the Boston Bruins out in
front by the margin Of a single
point.
The Bruins, who have lost
only one of their last II starts,
moved into a first-place tie last
Tuesday. They had been forced
to share the lead with one or
more other clubs since, but fin
ally gained sole possession last
night with the help of the Chi
cago Black Hawks.
While the Bruins we're play
ing a IL deadlock with the De-
troit Red Wings last night, the
Black Hawks took care of the
Toronto Maple Leafs, So. That
defeat knocked the Leafs out of
a first-place deadlock with Bos-
ton and into a tie with Chicago
for second, two points ahead of
fourth place Detroit. The Leafs
had beaten Detroit Saturday, 5
to 4.
In the third game played last
night, the Montreal Canadiens
pushed the New York Rangers
deeper into the cellar with 7-3
triumph.
At Detroit, the Red Wings
scored first when Joe Carveth
bagged a goal in the opening pc
riod, but Art Jackson evened the
count for Boston late in the Sc
cond session. The Bruins, who
downed Montreal, 80. Saturday
for their fourth straight win,
were helped considerably last
night by the spectacular net
minding of frankie Brimsek.
The veteran goalie handled
many difficult chances and reg
istered 30 saves to % for Johnny
Mowers.
