such venture strictly on their own.
The legion operates under the
aegis of the National Bowling Coun-
Gil, composed of leaders of all the
major bowling organizations. Ar
Vile L. Ebersole of Washington, ex-
ecutive secretary of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress, is chair
man of the council and director of
the BVL. BVL co-chairmen are
Elmer H. Baumgarten, secretary
of the American Bowling Congress;
Mrs. Violet j. McClatchey, war serv-
ice director of the Women's Inter-
national Bowling Congress; John E.
Stafford, president of the candle
pinners; John B. Leister, who heads
the rubber-banded pinshooters. and
E. w. Llnsz, representing the Bowl
ing Proprietors' Association of
America.
The BVL as wartime institution
may be unique in that all it's ex-
penses have been contributed. Thus,
every dollar kicked in or raised by
the bowlers will be spent 100 per
cent for the purposes designated.
Last season the BVL provided
100000 decks of playing cards, IT,
254 fishing kits, 325,000 pocket-size
books and other urgently needed
material for those on overseas duty.
Already this season it has pro-
vided the lads on six far-fung
Pacific islands with sport and rec
reetion centers, each consisting
OF five prefabricated buildings
equipped with things the boys are
used to at home, even pianos.
Washington bowling leaders plan
to make the tournament a center
piece in the pattern of the Capitals
BVL effort, according to George F.
Hardin, president of the Washing
ton City Duckpin Association; Lor-
raine GULL, president of the woman
boWlers, and Hugh w. Arbaugh,
head of the bowling operators. Ar
baugh set an example for his own
group by telling the BVL story to
all of his eight leagues, with the
result that all signed up-to the
tune of $3.50.
Entry blanks and other details
on the tournament will be on the

Injuries Still Nursed
By Brock, PaschaI
As Pros Collide
BY HAROLD CLAASSEN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Green
Bays Packers, the National League
football team that lived up to ex-
pectations, and the New York
Giants, relegated to the cellar by
September seers, play for the loops
title tomorrow in the Polo Grounds
The Packers captured the West
ern division flag, dropping two OF
their 10 games. One of the set
backs was a 24-to-0 shellacking by
the Giants, Cinderella winners of
the Eastern bunting. on the site
of tonlorrow's contest four Sundays
ago.
AS was the case then, each of
the teams has one of its star backs
hobbled. Lou Brock, brains of the
Green Bay backf1eld, never got into
the November tussle because of a
leg injury and will see little action in
the title fray for the same reason.
Bill Paschal, Giant fullback and
the first man ever to win the loop
ground-gaining crown in two sue
ceSs1ve years, sat out much of the
first meeting with sore knee. This
time he owns throbbing ankle
that hasn't been fully tested this
week because of the frozen turf.
Newcomer Thwarted Hutson.
Joe Laws, veteran quarterback,
takes over Brooks right halfback
duties in the Packer lineup Howie
Livingston, rookie from Fullerton
(Calif) Junior College, will be
Paschals replacement.
The newcomer, in his first
glimpse of the pass-snatching Don
Hutson a month ago, earned the
decision. He intercepted an early
Packer pass by circling in front of
Hutson and ran it back "a yards
for the touchdown that started the
Green Bay downfall Later, an
other theft meant a second touch
down.
Despite that bad day, Hutson is
the leagues scoring leader for the
fifth straight year with IS points
and rules as the loops best receiver
with So catches for 966 yards. Most
of the passes were thrown by Irv
Comp. sophomore halfback from st.
Benedicts.
It is the oath meeting of the two
clubs since they opened their series
in 1928. Each has won IL games
and one resulted in a tie. They
have tangled twice before in title
playoffs, the Giants triumphing in
1888 by a % to II score and the
Packers winning year later, 27 to
0, in Milwaukee.
Former Packers With Giants.
Tomorrow's contest, however,
carries an added spark of rivalry.
Arrie Herber, for many years Hut
sons favorite passer, and Red
Smith, veteran Packer line tutor,
now are with the Giants after
having left the Wisconsin outfit.
Receipts from the expected $4,000
spectators will go in part to the
players. Each member of the win
ming team will receive approximate
ly $1,000. each losing player in the
neighborhood of $500. Probable

the story this wey: Nearly a year

from Ft. Bliss, Texas to attend
course at the AAA school here.
Before he left Bliss, he was rec
commended for a raise to the grade
Of major, but when the promotion
list was mailed to the school, Cap

to the schools tactics department
and, being new there, nobody rec
ognized his name on the list. For
some unknown reason, he never
received his copy of the promotion
orders which are usually sent di-
rect from the War Department to
the officer promoted, and for a
year he wore captains bars when
he was entitled to the oak leaf
