Big Ten 5 Post i-Seasor
Ban Called Pro- Aid

CLEVELAND, Nov. 29.-Refusal
of the Western Conference Faculty
Athletic Committee to allow its
members to play In the Rose Bowl
turns over to Southern schools big
gate receipts that are used to PRO
fessionalize" the game, declares Err
ME Godfrey, assistant football coach
at Ohio State.
Godfrey made the statement last
night in addressing the annual BAN
quet of the Ohio State Alumni Club
Of Cleveland.
Its the hardest thing We have
to fight" he said in urging that
Ohio high school boys attend col
lege in their home State.
Godfrey was the only speaker to
refer to the action of the Faculty
Committee last Sunday in refusing
to permit Ohio States undefeated
team to accept Rose Bowl bid.
Commenting on the Buckeyes
undefeateds season, Acting Head
Coach Carroll Widdoes, who took
over last spring when Paul Brown
entered the Navy, said:
II was Just rookie who had been
hanging on Paul Browns coat tails
for good many years. We should
give him credit for =" quite a bit
of our success"
Widdoes disclosed that Les
Horvath, Ohio's all-America half
back candidate, had turned down an
attractive offer from the Cleveland
Rams to play professional football
deciding to remain at Ohio State
and play college football for his
final available season.
Maj. John L. Griffith of Chicago
commissioner of athletics for the
Big Ten, discussed postwar plans
for training of youth.
After the last war there was
much talk of compulsory military
training, but instead 81 States
passed compulsory physical educa-
ton bills that left the students in
college instead of taking them away
to barracks" he explained.
1--WE didn't do a very good job.
After this war we are either going
to have military training, which
means conscription and the as
sembling of boys in camps, or we
are going to have to do real job
of putting men in physical con-
dition."

Hutson Appears Sure
OF 5th Straight Pro
Loop Scoring Title
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2s.-Amazing Don
Hutson Of the Green Bay Packers
who meant to retire three seasons
ago-now virtually owns his fifth
straight scoring title and fourth con-
secutive pass-grabbing crown in the
National Football League.
The 31-year-old Hutson, who last
Sunday ended his 10th professional
campaign, has season total of IS
points on nine touchdowns and 81
extra points. That places him a
points ahead of Frankie Sinkwich Of
the Detroit Lions in second place
and one game left.
Hutson's pass receiving laurels also
appeared to be on ice. Runnerup in
this department is lanky Jim Benton
Of the Cleveland Rams, who would
have to snag 81 passes in one re-
naming contest to equal the in
credible Packers total of So.
Grabs So Tosses for 966 Yards.
Hutson, who was lured from an
nounced retirement by Coach Curly
Lambeau this fall for the third
straight season, further demon
strated that the Packer mentor knew
his onions by gaining 966 yards on
his So receptions, the second largest
total of his career. Hutson set the
league record in 1912 when he piled
up 1.211 yards on IA grabs.
The star end, who is a Green Bay
bowling proprietor, hasn't said
whether this was his last season
knowing too we'll his difficulty of
convincing the fast-talking Mr..
Lambeau that he should quit the
grid game.
Official league statistics, mean
while. disclosed that Halfback Bill
Paschal of New York regained the
ground-gaining lead from Johnny
Grigas of the Chicago Pittsburgh
combine. The defending champion
has compiled 625 yards in 149 at
tempts, holding l5-yard bulge over
Grigas, who has 610 in 1876 tries.
Two games are left for Paschal and
only one for Grigas.
Filchock Still Top Tosser.
frankie Filchock of the Washing
ton Redskins still is Tipping far
above the 800 mark to hold his
passing lead over Sid Luckman of
the Chicago Bears. Filchock has
connected IT times in 1870 attempts,
while Luckman has 81 completions
in 1873 tosses, but lags in yardage
gained, 1,107 to 965.
Other leaders: Punting - Sink

TRIBE Tie Remote Possibility
lin Eastern Pro Grid Race

by rough play apd that team
hitting him hard and often early in
the game can render his value as a
passer and kicker null and void.
We asked Mr.. C. if there was any
truth to the rumor that the Eagles
had been trying to make a deal for
their T quarterback for that particu-
lar reason, but he professed total
| ignorance on the subject. Certainly
the Redskins wouldn't be interested
because they have Sammy Baugh
and Frank Filchock, and the latter
is complaining bitterly at his lack
of employment.
Redskins Stress Running Attack.
Coach Dud De Groot yesterday
sent the Skins through a long ses-
sion at the stadium, stressing the
running attack. In Bill Paschal,
Ward Cuff and Howie Livingston
the Giants apparently have a .rlo
of pigSkin packers who can run the
britches off anybody in Washing
tons backfeld All told they have
accounted for a grand total OF 1,2l1
yards from scrimmage this season
or approximately twice as much
ground as Bob Seymour, Frank
Seno, Frank Atkins and Wilbur
Moore, the Tribes leading quartet.
De Groot genuinely is worried
about this phase of the attack. He
knows the Skins have got to run
the ball, and run it successfully
to make the aerial game click. But
the Tribes chief strategist has some
definite plans along this line and
they include Frank Atkins, the big
fullback, who showed so well against
Boston, and Andy Farkas, who
finally seems to be hitting his stride.
New York definitely is in for a cou-
pie of surprises by the Redskins
offense. 1t isn't going to look much
like what we've seen heretofore and
De Groot has his fingers crossed,
| hoping it works.

The trio sat down with Commits

tie both games and the Eagles win
one and tie their other. they'll fin

Eagles Peeved at Turner.
Mr.. C. also heard the Eagles are
peeved at Bulldog Turner of the
Chicago Bears-who knocked Phila-
delphia out of the lead and possibly
the pennant last week-for giving
Roy Zimmerman the works on the
opening kickoff of the game. 1t
seems that Turner, Chicago center,
tented Zimmerman into position for
a block that almost put him back
on Washington's roster. This is
alleged to have been according to
plan and the Phils didn't think it
was cricket. Zimmerman was too
dazed to know what it was.
This merely confirms long

J. Ernest Fender, president of
SCPI, says" there is ample evi-
dence that the planning of schools,
waterworks, hospitals, roads and
other badly needed projects to be
built with public funds is being
delayed in many localities in the
expectation that Congress will pro-
vide a large appropriation for
planning and construction of these
facilities. If the delay continues,
much essential building which
would provide thousands Of jobs
at critical time will be unneces-
sarily postponed.

change the military, but will bring
about better distribution of exist
ing supply. OF great importance to

The Home
Clinic

You can add immeasureably to
the attractiveness OF your home by
attending auctions intelligently, or
you can clutter up your home with a
lot of ugly, expensive and useless
junk unless you observe few sim
pie rules.
Women who rush pell nell into
auctions and bid wildly without
knowing either the worth OF the
article they are bidding on or what
use they can put 1t to, usually wind
up with articles that only lessen the
beauty of their homes.
Valuable tips on how to avoid
swindling yourself at auctions are
contained in a well-known house
hold magazine A few follow:
Don't bid on items unless you
have examined them beforehand.
After examining the article set a top
figure above which you will not go.
Don't make the bidding a personal
contest which you are determined
to win, no matter how high 1t goes.
Watch the professionals in the auc-
ton audience, and observe how they
retire from the bidding when it
reaches a certain point. Don't buy
any useless junk just because it's
cheap. Buy only what you know
you can use"
Increased utility is what the Amer
ican public wants in its products
when production for civilian use is
resumed.
What America wants can be
summed up, for manufacturers
guidance, this way: make those i'm
provements dictated by common
sense and critical examination of
the performance of the product.
Our people are going to be shopping
for increased utility, above all other
things, when they spend their money

FILA Has Played Vital
Role in Developing
D. {. in Past Decade

Federal Housing Administration
celebrates its first 10 years of opera
ton next Tuesday. Noted through
out the United States, its operation
within this area Is of vital interest.
Approximately 1880 families
have been provided with better
housing through $170,950,0 900 ad-
vanced by private lending institu-
tions and insured by FHA since
the start of their program in 1884.
Walter Cox, director of the Dis
trict insuring office, pointed out the
FHA program was originally de-
signed to stimulate home owner
ship and employment. At that
time the building industry was at a
standstill. High-cost first, second
and third mortgage loans were the
accepted practice In q largely frozen
mortgage market, and lending insti-
tutions were reluctant to lend fur
ther funds for the construction and
repair Of homes.

tized mortgage popular. The in
surance of single mortgages based
on sound appraisals and involving
moderate interest charges reduced
the risk tn home financing as COM
pared with previous systems. and
encouraged the flow Of capital into
the home mortgage field.
The FHA programs. Mr.. Cox said,
assisted the industry to get back
on its feet. increased employment
in the building trades and made 1t
possible for many thousands Of
families to build, buy or improve
homes.
Loans insured in the Metropoli-
tan area during these 10 years
totaled $4,000, 900 for alterations,
repairs and improvements on exist
ing structures and $151 .050, 900 for
the buying or building Of homes or
rental housing projects.

The transportation problem is one
of the greatest factors in good city
planning and the stability of lano
and property values. That this
is a situation which must now be
faced in all cities to assure intelli-
gent use of urban and suburban
highways and preserve real estate
values Is the opinion OF city plan
ners and transportation experts
During the Citizens Conference or
Postwar Planning, called by the
American Planning and Civic Asso-
citation in ST. Louis last week, the
history of the present troubles was
outlined by Charles Gordon, manag-
ing director of the American Tran
sit Association, New York.
Many people are beginning to
realize that something is radically
wrong with our cities" he said,
"that the situation has been getting
steadily worse for a considerable
time, and that unless steps are taken
at once to reverse 1t in the imme-
diate postwar period when building
is resumed, our American cities will
be destroyed from within just as
effectively, If not SO spectacularly, as
bombing is destroying the cities OF
Europe and Asia"
Problems Outlined.
Mr.. George sketched the growth
of transportation problems by dl-
viding them into three stages. Cities
all over America are figuratlvely
exploding. They are spreading out
In random fashion with no apparent
plan of control. While much vacant
land lies totally undeveloped within
CITY boundaries, widening belt OF
built-up property, radiating from
the business centers has been deter
iorating into blighted districts. Be-
fore 1885, city outskirts were limited
by the amount of distance that
could be traversed on foot or on a
horse-approximately 2la miles. Be-
tween 1881 and 1910 the second
stage, the streetcar extended this
distance to miles just at the time
when industrialization and immigra-
ton increased urban population and
consequently real estate values.
Cities grew so rapidly that the
idea became firmly established that
the resulting rise in city property
values would continue indefinitely.
Then came the automobile which
has made such changes that after
80 years we still do not realize all
of them. City limits have jumped
from 5 to IS miles. Large areas OF
unused city dwellings have de-
teriorated.
To remedy intolerable traffic con-
ditions street widening projects were
undertaken. Certain streets were
designated as main traffic arteries,
traffic signal systems were intro
duced and other measures adopted
in a losing battle to enjoy the COM
fort of the automobile. Young par
ents, wanting safety and quiet for
their children, sought suburban
home, but this decentralization did
not solve the problem, as congestion,
instability and blight were merely
spread over large area.
