Green Bay, among the top

Washington for touchdowns scored

BEARS TOPPLE
HEPCATS, 200
By WEDDELL HARRISS

The Chestnut Street Bears defeat
ed the Hemenway Hapcats Tues
day 200 to move into threatening
distance for the Grammer school
loop championship. The Bears have
suffered only one defeat, handed
them by a powerful Tileston elev-
en- The Tilestonians are at present
tied with the strong Winter Park
outfit for the conference crown.
Pacing the Bears attack were
Thurston Watkins, glue fingered
right end and Roger Dukes, shifty
quarterback. Also standing out for
the Chestnutters were fullback
Jimmie Staples and Halfback Carl
jenkins. Bobby Robbins also look
ed good at left end.
The outclassed Hepcats were led
by fullback Tatum and versatile
in the backfield as we'll as the line.
First blood in the initial quarter
was drawn by Dukes, Bear field
general, who matched the pigskin
from jenkins on a fake punt and
dashed go yards for the tally, leav-
ing trail of would-be Hemenway
tacklers in his wake. Dukes plunged
over for the extra point.
The second Chestnut score came
late in the second period when
jenkins raced wide around right
end on a reverse from Stables for
six more points. The extra point
was garnered by Staples on a wide
left end sprint.
The Bears put the game on ice
in the third quarter when Watkins
tucked a pass from Dukes under
his arm and scooted 20 yards for
the final tally. The try for extra
point failed, making the score 200

The unbeaten, united Amphibs
have rolled up 275 points against
7 while bowling over four service
foes and the University of Miami.
Daley was kept out of one game
by heavy cold, but in four out
ings he has scored six touchdowns
and three extra points. He has car
ried the ball on running plays 81
times, averaging 1877 yards-better
than a first down-for every try.
Daley, who recently signed to
play after the war with the New
York club of the new all America
professional conference, thinks his
experience of playing with the for
ner pro performers on the Fort
Pierce eleven will stand him in
good stead.

SOUTHERN CAL
T0PLAY BEARS
AT BERKELEY
Winner Will Be One Lap
Nearer a Rose Bowl
Invitation

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-W)
The University of Southern Cali
fornia Trojans SQUARE off with the
California Bears, Saturday in Berk-
eley in a football game that every
Trojan from Head Coach jeff Cra-
vath down to the tail end substi.
tute expect will put them one lap
nearer the Rose Bowl.
They couldn't do it before, when
an under rated California team
held them to a 6-6 tie October 7,
but considerable water has flow
ed under the bridge since that
day. Since then the Bears lost
sixteen varsity men through milf
tary training transfers, including
couple Of powerful guards and
three right halfbacks.
Southern California, meanwhile,
said goodbye to its flashy right
half, Gordon Gray, but actually
it is stronger team today than
it was five weeks ago. It's T.
formation plays are clicking ef-
fectively and the quick-as-a-oat
fellow who is making them work is
Jim Hardy. If Hardy isn't the
best quarterback in U. S. c. his
tory. at least he is the most ac-
curate pass thrower because his
average of complete losses is the
highest yet recorded.
/ Hardy has completed Al out Of
70 throws this season and IS out
of 1876 over the last three years.
The Trojans have the heaviest
college line on the coast al well
as the fleetest backfield.
Anyhow, U. S. c. expects to
partially erase the memories OF
their tie score with California by
a substantial win this time. Prac-
tically everybody else expects the
same thing. The Trojans will line
up as 8 to l favorites, possibly by
higher odds.
If they beat the Bears. they must
still face the University Of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles Bruins, with
whom they also have an old score
to settle. The Bruins tied them, H.
10. Only these two deadlocks maj
an otherwise winning record.

BUCKEYES SEEK
CIRCUIT PERMIT
FOR ROSE BOWL
Athletic Director Saws
Tentative Bid Has Been
Received
Bv HAROLD HARRISON

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 15.-(R-
Ohio State University has reopened
the fight to have the Western con-
ference permit its members to
play in the Rose Bowl football game
but an unofficial poll OF conference
schools was not too encouraging for
supporters of the plan.
L. W. st. John, athletic director
at Ohio State, disclosing today that
the unbeaten and united Bucks had
received a tentative bid to h e
game, said a movement already
had been started to have the Big
Ten change its rule banning all
post season games.
He added, however, chances of
changing the rule between now and
the season end on November Is
did not appear "too good" A ma
jority vote of Big Ten members
would be necessary to lift the ban,
st. John said.
But if the rule were changed and
if Ohio State should receive a for
NAL bid, the Bucks would accept,
he said.
Iowa said it definitely favored
proposal and Athletic Directors
Guy Mackey of Purdue and Ken
reth (Tug) Wilson Of Northwestern
also expressed approval.
1t was pointed out, however, that
the final decision for each schoo,
rested with its faculty representa-
tive
There were indications that Hi
nois, Wisconsin and Minnesota
might not favor the plan. Indiana
declined comment.
About five years ago an effor'
was made to arrange a tieup be
tween the Western conference anc
the Pacific Coast conference o
the Rose Bowl game but it wa!
rejected by the Big Ten.
st. John said today he still ia
vored such an arrangement and HI
added that Ohio State, for one, wa!
interested only in the Rose Bowl
The faculty athletic board ane
President Howard V. Bevis unani
mously approved the idea, he said
Ohio state officials also pointee
out that Michigan, another cham
pionship contender, might be in lin'
for a bid.
St. John said it first was though
perhaps the Big Tens wartime sus
pension of the freshman and othe
rules might be extended to INCLUDE
the ban on post-season games.

representatives, howver, showed

Annapolis Excited Over
Proposed Switch; No
Official Report
BY BUS HAM

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-H-
Time was rapidly running out to-
night in the possibility of the Ar
my-Navy football game being
shifted from Annapolis to big city
stadium.
Government officials apparently
had adopted a gridiron strategem,
the lateral pass, and were tossing
the December 2 game back a n d
forth, with no official announcement
yet made.
The Navy department said late
ir the day that mo decision has
been made" and that transfer Of
the game is Extremely doubtful. !"
Secretaries Forrestal and Slim
son did not confer during the day,
and had no appointment with Presi-
dent Roosevelt to consider the mat
ter further.
Unless definite decision is
reached by Friday, officials said
it will be too late to arrange. for
change.
Capt. c. o. Humphreys, director
Of athletics at the Naval Academy,
the home team, told the Associated
Press that it will be a physical
impossibility" to print and distri-
butte tickets later than Friday.
Admitting that everybody at An
napolis is on needles and pins
over the proposed switch, Hum
phreys said that tickets can be dis
tributed November "a, if decision
is made right away.
President Roosevelt said yester-
day that he planned to talk with
Secretary of War Stimson about
shifting the wartime service classic
from the quiet setting of Annapolis
to a big city, but no additional in
dication same from the White
House today.
Presidential secretary Stephen
Early, who had previously said he
was confident Mr.. Roosevelt would
keep the game at Annapolis, terse-
ly reported that no recommended
tons had been received from either
Stimson or Secretary of Navy For
restal.
There the matter stood tonight
with the usual flow of rumors as
to what will happen but no one in
an official capacity would say
where the ball was.
Only Col. j. Monroe Johnson,
head of defense transportation,
spoke up. and he was in Chicago.
cit would be an outrage to take
it (the game) anywhere but An
napolis," he said. I'VE haven't the
equipment; we can't put on one ex-
ira car or an extra train and all
over the country people would be
c!amoring for extra equipment and
crowding that already in use. {.
which is crowded already"
Those advocating switch in the
site contend that any large city
would fill the stands to overlooking
from its immediate area without
placing an additional burden on out
lying transportation.
At the treasury department, it
was learned that a direct request
had been made to President Roose-
welt to shift the game to big city
in the interest of the sixth war
loan drive.
Governor O'Conor Of Maryland
sent Mr.. Roosevelt a telegram urg-
ing that the game be kept in Mary
land.
He suggested Baltimore as the
most convenient location, saying
that considerable impetus could
be given to war loan drives"
Philadelphia also has been promi-
nently mentioned as the site, it
the game is switched.
