Unjustified
Complaint
Ordinary Guest at
Reception Need Not Stay
BY EMILY POST

Few. If any social obligations
are less exacting than those ex-
pected of guests at formal recep-
tons. This in part answers the
following question: Did guest
have a right To rebel and leave
the reception early when the bride
and groom kept their guests wait
ing over an hour while they stop
ped on the way from the church
to have their pictures taken?
In further answer let me say,
an ordinary guest can not very
well rebel since he is not obliged
TO go 10 a reception nor obliged
to stay any longer than he wants
to. q mean by ordinary guest
one who is not an usher or a
bridesmaid or a dearest friend or
a member of the family. In other
words. ones obligations to stay Is
usually that of ones own interest
in the bride and bridegroom.

CLEVELAND, Dec. pa dispute

Amateur Baseball Federation, which
confines its attention to sandlot

deletion of the word "semipro' from
its title because its expanding men,

Declaring strictly simon-pure

land, chairman OF the NABF's Board
Of Commissioners, wrote the MICS
president, Ray Dumont, At Wichita
Kans:
1t has come to the attention of
the writer that you are absorbing all
amateur baseball in the United
States, and it is our belief that this
is an overambitious act on your part.
May We ask you to advise us
not later than January 10 if it would
be your intention TO disregard the
efforts that our organization has ex-
pended; or, II it is your intention to
discuss some association with your
plans, and II this is your intention,
why some communication outlining
your plan has not been put before
us for consideration of our body?"

1T is not our intention to absorb
any other baseball organization,

/ fied as transforming clubs he said.
IT the NABF desires, we'll bar
teams from their organiza ton from

Dumont explained that the word
semipro was deleted because we're
expanding our activities in other
countries where there is no distinc-

Underdog Team Never
Conquered in Six
Pasadena Games
BY FRANK FRAWLEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 2s.-Never
beaten in six Rose Bowl starts,
Southern California, nevertheless, Is
one Of the juciest short-odds bets
ever for its New Year football game
against the University Of Washing
ton.
The Spring street seers, who set
the price, have installed Coach Pest
Welchs Huskies q 3-to-1 or even
and IL points choice. Apparently this
has been decided upon with COM
parative scores in mind, inasmuch
as Washington swamped March
Fields flyers and the Skybirds did
the same to the Trojans.
Just the same, 3-to-1 odds on this
Rose Bowl game are difncult to
reconcile. Both teams are some-
what unknown quantities. Washing
ton played only four games, three Of
them against weak and under
manned teams. Southern California
blew sky high in late October. de-
veloped fumbling habits that Coach
JEFF Crsvath couldn't overcome.
huSkleS Il OIL III nAlN.
Yesterday Welch ran his Wash
ington squad through a workout in
the rain. 1t is big squad and prob
ably has lots of power. If New Year
Day comes up wet. in keeping with
the current weather, the Huskies
may justify the odds. They will out
weigh Southern California by q wide
margin.
II the field is dry, Trojan speed
and air power may offset the weight
disadvantage Observers who have
seen both teams in action report
that the Huskies are weak against
short passes over the middle and
that their line. averaging 210 pounds,
isn't very fast and quite likely to
fall prey to the Trojans' quick OPEN
ing plays from the T formation.
The same observers call attention
to the fact that Jay Stoves and Pete
Susick, two Of Washington's really
good backs, now are an the service.
Stoves, they argue. made the Wash
ington attack click.
Odds Hard to Understand.
Southern California might or
might not play the game of which
1t is capable. There's no certainty
1t will. 1t is likely to tumble away
the ball on the very last goal-line
play after sustained drive. 1t
could 60 the length of the field in
two or three plays. It's that kind of
team. But under no circumstances
should it be 3-to-1 underdog
against college football team that
hasn't played game in nine weeks.
Yet, 1t is, and those juicy odds are
quite tempting.
