 New York, Dec. IA = (UP) A large room in the Commodore Hotel was filled with cacophony and confusion as reporters and photographers worked beaverishy, at cross purposes, upon the mighty Randolph Field Ramblers, who had just arrived from Texas for Sat- urday'S classic at the Polo Grounds with the Second Air Force Super bombers.
 It. Bill Dudley, ace of the Ran- dolph backf1eld, manfully remained afoot in this welter of inter-occupa- tional combat. He's a clean-look- ing, brown-haired lad, with a large, genial mouth and fresh cleat- marks on his nose.
 Above the hubbub, Dudley's voice reached uter-fringer re- porters only in broken bursts, like word-spasms from wevring radio. He said, Tremendous pressure goin' all out-givin' my best licks -awfully uncertain-butterflies in my gizzard-"
 An outer-skirt auditor yelled, "howzat, Bill---You ain't sure of winnin?"
 The dapper young flight instruc- tor beloved back: "No-she might not nave me"
 "Who might not have? Wot- inelll Let me in there where I can hear what he's saying"
 We'll sir, Halfback Dudley hadn't been talking about Saturdays game, at all. He had been telling of valiant efforts to win the heart and hand of Houston blonde, over whom he had gone somewhat ga-ga. The former All-America performer at Virginia U. was by no means sure of scoring touch down; and the uncertainty put him under tremendous pressure. He added hopefully, however, q un- derstand she's coming up for Sat- urday's game"
 Then the interview veered from love to leather-toting. A writer asked Dudley if service players had the same spirit" before a game as college boys, who were out for dear old alma mater, or profess s1onals, who were out for dear old dough.
 The 22-year-old lieutenant was in perfect position to answer this question. As an All-America at Virginia in 1941 he set an all-time colleague scoring record of 134 points for season. Later, with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was the best ball-toter on the club, and was named to the All-National League eleven. his season with Randolph Field, best service team in the nation, he has been their ace carrier and point-kicker.
 Dudley said, "No, service player ooesnt work up the same en- thuslasm before game, as he would in college or in the National League. A service player has so many other regular duties-im- portant duties-that football seems incidental. However, after the game starts, the old enthusiasm comes back, and you're out there trying to win-just as hard as ever.
 Did Bullet Bill intend returning to professional ball after the war? Yes, he would. He'd like to play a couple more seasons. Would he desert the National League, if one or the new pro circuits offered him more money?
 That would depend upon the apparent stability of the new cir cult" he said, land the amount o1 money offered. You know, if you jump the National League you're automatically barred from coming back to it for five long years"
