MUCH PATCHING
IS ANTICIPATED
BY GRID LEAGUE
Officials Say Only Time
Will Tell OF Football
Next Fall
BY JERRY LISKA

CHICAGO,~Jan. 8-R-Confront-
ed by its sharpest ''patch-and-
pray test since Pearl Harbor, the
National Football League assem-
bles here tomorrow for a four
day session of player drafting and
schedule and rule making.
Commenting little on the posi-
BILE results of Federal ork-fight
edict with sharp teeth in it, league
officials generally concur that only
TIME will tell whether the 1l-club
circuit can go to the post next fall.
If there is any silver lining in
the clouds over the play-for-pay
business, it is that professional
gridders can dove-tail war jobs
and footballing. Actually, this has
been going on for two seasons al
ready and last season some clubs
had as many as 70 per cent of
their players working in essential
industries.
The league had $50 players on
its active list last season and about
80 who performed. Whatever in
roads the proposed breakdown on
IFS may make-four representa-
tive clubs have reported that T.
F''s comprised 70 per cent of their
rosters - the league can expect
little or no help from a draft list
Of 800 or 400 collegians to be re-
viewed.
Manpower will be the No. topic,
out there's a strong possibility that
the league may unleash its first
retaliation at the proposed ALI
America conference which already
has snatched such stars as Ange-
10 Bertelli of Notre Dame and
Bill Daley of Minnesota and Micn-
igan from the National Loops
draft list.
This could develop if the league
takes from the table the franchise
applications of three men who now
are committed to the All-America
conference-Christy Walsh of Los
Angeles, Anthony Morabito Of San
Francisco and Sam Cordavano of
Buffalo.
George Strickler, league publ
city director, said that the Nation
al Loop now has II entries follow
ing the split of the Chicago Cardi-
nal-Pittsburgh Steeler merger and
needs 18th member to facilitate
schedule making. 1--WE tabled all
applications at last years meet
ing, but now it. looks like one could
be accepted" Stricken said.
Whether Walsh, Horabito or
Cordavano would switch leagues,
Strickled admitted, was conjectur-
al. 1T may be tempting, though,
because we've been doing business
for a long time he said.
One of the proposed rule
changes is revolutionary sug-
gestion that the league abolish the
extra point try and play sudden
death overtimes to settle tie
games. Officials also will discuss
the renewal of President Elmer
Layden's contract which expires
IN. March, 1916.

at the tip of the bulge, the Ger
mans started pulling back on
line running from their western
most positions northeastward to
the Malmedy area, leaving infah-
try-manned islands of resistance
at such points as La Roche. A
pinchers drive squeezed La Roche
with American troops driving to
Marcourt three miles northwest OF
the town while a British column
came down from the northeast.
British patrols following up the
retreat from the western edge
probed as deep as one and one
half miles without meeting the
enemy but reported suicide units
were holding on at Bure, last Ger
man strongpoint west of the
Marche-St. Hubert line.
The Second and Third Armored
divisions and the brilliant 32nd
Airborne Division under Maj. Gen.
James M. Gavin still shouldered
the main drive from the Grand
menil sector and had won a solid,
nine-mile stretch of the St. Vith-La
Roche road, shutting off any fur
Their traffic along that artery.
Tank columns blowing on through
the snow south of the St. With
road and along either side of the
Bastogne-Liege north-south high
way drove within six miles OF

enemy's last escape road, which

northeast.

Third Army captured Flamierge
five miles west of Bastogne, and
punched one-half mile northward
to within one mile of the Houffalize
road. With the most powerful con.
centration of artillery ever EN-.
ployed by their now famous army
Patton's troops had blasted back
four more strong enemy counter
attacks, and a fifth, observed form
ing up in the Wilt area on the
Luxembourg flank, was dispersed
by shells in a complete slaughter
according. to field reports.
Late Monday. the Germans were
reported beginning to withdraw
from the dangerous Wardin sal
lent just southeast of Bastogne
which had hampered the Third
Army's efforts to expand north
ward. The Sixth Armored Division,
which fought with distinction in
the break-through to the Saar,
followed up the retirement with a
1000 yard advance.
Patton's closest spearheads to
the First Arny's still were those
in the Longchamps area four miles
northeast Of Flamierge.
On the north flank. airborne and
arnored u4its collaborated in the
capture of Mont and Garonne, five
and seven miles south OF Stavelot,
and the adjoining communities of
Grand Sart and Petit Sart on the
St. Vith-La Roche road three miles
southwest of Vielsalm. The latter
junction now was virtually out
thanked and tank columns driving
on across the road from the Sarts
captured Joubteval and Hebronval,
three and one-half miles south
west of Vielsalm.
To the northeast, infantry of the
Goth Division advanced a similar
distance, about two miles, and
captured the towns of Spineux and
Vanneranval as resistance fell
away.
The Both was advancing on the
east side of the Salm river south
of Stavelot and had extended its
