SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3o.-As
the climax to one Of the most re-
markable finishes recorded in West
ern football in years, the Stanford
Indians have elbowed their way into
the Rose Bowl picture.
They may not make it. but there
wasn't the slightest doubt today
Coast Conference heads would give
the Indians consideration in the
voting December II to name the
leagues opponent for University of
Georgia in the New Year Day post
season classic at Pasadena.
While the three top conference
candidates, University of California
at Los Angeles, Southern California
and washington State, have faltered
in the stretch run, Stanford finished
like champion with four lopsided
victories.
Scar Pre-Flighters' Slate.
The Indians ran out their 10-game
schedule Saturday with a rousing
28-to-l3 win over the powerful and
previously undefeated st. Marys
Navy Pre-Flight eleven. On preced-
ing week ends they knocker over
such worthless as California, 26-7:
Oregon State, 1918, and Washing
ton, 20-7.
Coaches, officials and others who
watched Stanford in the closing
games described it as the outstand-
ing team in the Far West. L. T.
Buck Shaw, whose Santa Clara
eleven defeated Stanford, 1916, in
the first week of October, said: The
Stanford team I saw defeat Cali
fornla was the best team I've seen
this season"
The early season Indians couldn't
defend against passes and in success

By the Associated Press.

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 30.-Alabama
and Boston College were unofficially
named today as probable opponents
in Miami's Orange Bowl game New
Year Day.
Reliable reports were that Ala
bama had accepted the bid of the
Orange Bowl Committee, and Bos-
ton College was withholding &C
ceptance because of the death of
Lawrence F. Kennedy, assistant
trainer, and possibly his wife, in the
Boston fire disaster.
Two Orange Bowl officials, Oscar
E, Dooly, committee president, and
Charles F. Baldwin, chairman of
the Schedule Committee, were due
here from Atlanta late today and it
was believed all announcement
would be made soon after their ar
rival.
Both Boston and Alabama were
highly rated throughout the season,
but both slipped in Saturdays games.

Sparkled as Prep Coach.
Coach Butts distinguished himself
as an end at Mercer University at
Macon. Ga. before finishing in 1928,
After several years as a prep school
coach in Georgia, he went to Male
High School in Louisville, KY. and
completed a 10-year prep record of
having lost only nine games. The
blond Butts was called to Georgia
as end mentor in 1888 and became
head coach in 1899 after the release
of Joel Hunt.
His first two Georgia elevens had
only mediocre success, winning 10
games, losing 10 and tieing one
But Georgia authorities thought so
much of him after the first year of
head coaching that they broke
precedent by giving him a three
year contract. Georgia coaches al
ways had been hired on year-to-
year basis
Then his coaching began reaping
rewards last season when the
Georgians lost only to Alabama and
tied Mississippi in II games. This
fall his Bulldogs, spanked again by
Al-America frankie Sinkwich, rolled
up 10 victories and bowed only to
Auburn in an astounding upset, CIV

Baseball Folk Tackle
Gravest Problems
In Games History
Salary Freezing, Player
Limit Among Big Topics
At Wartime PorIey
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Baseball
given safe conduct through one
wartime season, comes up for judg-
ment again this week in the annual
winter meeting of the major and
minor leagues.
And in view of problems new and
graver than those confronting a
stunned day after Pearl Harbor"
major league convention last year,
this weeks session may develop into
the most important in baseballs
history.
Executives began arriving last
night and today And while the
business meetings do not open Of
ficially until Tuesday, operators were
quick to get together for an eX-
change of views on such issues as
salary freezing, revised player limit
proposals, additional night games
and spring training adjustments.
Minors Are Hardest Hit.
The minor leagues, which swing
into their discussions on Friday,
are expected to be the hardest hit by
manpower and travel curtailment.
Rule amendments to settle rights
of players and territories of leagues
forced to disband are up for major
attention.
TINS major leagues will hold
separate meetings tomorrow and
Wednesday and on Thursday will
meet jointly with Commissioner K.
M. Lands.
While operational problems ap-
peared uppermost in the minds of
the baseball representatives, there
still was trade talk. One report
concerned the efforts of Branch
Hickey, new Brooklyn president, to
get first base replacement should
Dolph Camilli stick with his re-
tirement plans. Hickey was sup
posed to have his eyes on any one
of several Chicago Cub first
sackers.
Double Trade in Wind.
Another trade possibility involved
the Philadelphia AS swapping Out
fielder Bob Johnson and First
Baseman Dick Seibert for First
Baseman Joe Kuhel and Second
Baseman Don Holloway of the Chi
cago White Sox.
Two newly appointed 1913 man.
ayers, both in the American
League, will be on hand for the
sessions. They are Steve ONeill
who replaced Del Baker at Detroit,
and Ossie Bluege, who took over
Bucky Harris duties at Washington.
Meeting along with major and
minor, leagues this week is the
National Semi-Pro Baseball Con-
gress which is working on plans to
increase sandlot leagues.
