 New York, Nov. 26-(UP)-Unless the New York Giants clarify the Eastern Division National Football league race as they did the Vest ern, Philadelphia and Washington will have to meet in playoff for the right to battle Cleveland for the championship.
 Yesterdays 16 to Eagle victory over Washington tied the Philadel- phians and the Redskins at six won and two lost. Both have two games to go. Philadelphia plays New York and Boston; the Redskins meet Pittsburgh and New York. The leaders were favored to sweep through these games, but New York was not lightly regarded by the con- tending coaches, who remember that it was the Giants who upset the Detroit Lions when the Lions were tied with Cleveland for the Western lead,
 The passing of Roy Zimmerman and the tricky running of Steve Van Buren were too much for Washing ton yesterday. Zimmerman passed for two touchdowns and kicked a field goal. Ernie Steele scored the first touchdown and Van Buren made the other on a 25-yard run through most of the Redskin team.
 Philadelphia defense smothered Sammy Baugh and Frank Filchock, ace passers. Washington's only of fensive march fizzled out on the last play of the game as Jack Fer rante intercepted pass on the Eagle 9.
 Gi~ ote Lose Again
 At New York, the Green Bay PeC.-ers used line plunges by full back Ted Fritscil instead of pass catching by Don Hutson to beat the Giants, g to A. Fritsch scored the first two Green Bay touchdowns. A pass interception by Charley Brook, who then raced for a touchdown, sewed up the game for the Packers. Hutson contributed two points er-touchdoWn and a field goal. New York scored once in the first half and again just before the final gun.
 The Chicago Bears romped over Pittsburgh, 28 to 2, with George Mo- Afee scoring three touchdowns. It was McAfee's first Wrigley Field game after four years of Navy serv- ice.

New Haven Conn, Nov. D. (UP)-After winding up their regu- lar season Saturday with 2O-14 tri- umph over Princeton to make the game totals six wins against two defeats, the Yale Bulldogs today be- gan preparation for their post-sea- son workout against the Harvard "Informals" this weekend.

De Nezzo, Yales V-12 transfer from Wesleyan, made good on two of three conver- Sino attempts, and starred defen- sively for the Ellis.
 Dan Williams, Princeton tackle scored both of the Tiger tallies within the first five minutes of the opening period Thereafter the Eli line held. and the Yale offense be- gan clicking.

Okie Aggies In Sugar Bowl?

New Orleans, Nov. 26-CUP)- Sugar Bowl promoters, admittedly taken aback by Dukes withdrawal from bowl consideration, were ex- pected today to grab Oklahoma A & M., with Louisiana State as a possible opponent to the undefea- ted AggieS.
 Alabama's acceptance of the Rose Bowl bid, Holy Cross accep- tance of an Orange Bowl invita- tion and the Duke announcement left the powerful Oklahoma AggieS as the most logical choice, and re- ports at Oklahoma City last night said that the Aggies already had accepted the Sugar Bowl invita- tion. School authorities would not confirm the report.
 'The Duke statement makes t tougher for us" admitted Sugar Bowl President A. B. Nicholas, "but Duke was not the only team we were considering"
 St. Mary's of California, The University of Texas and Virginia were believed to be under consid- eration.

 Professor Art Bowling of Wilby did not have much to say on the annual Turkey Day clash which ended so tragically for his students. Prof. Bowling has always been an ardent supporters of scholastic sports for students.
 Orchids to: Jim Latimer on his fine defensive play against Wilby during his short appearances in the game; Jim Pickett on his amazing speed and pair of swivel hipper dippers: Bernie Lawlor and Joe Lombard an unbeatable pair who were the mainstays in the C,bsby backfield against Wilby; and to.

 New York, Nov. 26. (UP)-This is the day the little guys step up and take their bows.
 It's fearless F'raleys little college All-Anerica.
 They don't have the high-pow- cred publicity buildup of their bet ter-known brothers of the gridiron, but these big fish from the little ponds probably will turn out to be the whoppers of professional foot ball in years to come. The pros know that these lads from the tank towns lack only one thing the buildup.
 Throughout the years hysterical crowds of 50,000 to 80,000 fans crowd into big name stadiums, jostling and string on each others laps because of the magnetic in- fluence of all-out publicity. Mean while, the little fellows are offer ing football that's just as good, and often better, practically in solitude.
 Every section has these little" stars, and the team chosen here finds these each from the south west and midwest, two each from the east and west, and one from

Miami, Fla, Nov. 26-(UP)- The Orange Bowl committee, with Holy Cross already in the fold for it's New Years Day football game, sought an opponent today, with the University of Miami promin- ently mentioned since Duke has withdrawn from consideration.

 George Whitten, president of the Orange Bowl committee, said the committee had no statement on Holy Cross opponent, but the U. of Miami was being boomed by hometown sports writers, who pointed out that the Hurricanes have won seven, lost one and tied one against good opposition Miami thumped Michigan State, 21 to ', in its latest start.

CROSBY 31; WILEY 6

Crosby's football juggernaut gear ed to the speed and deception of the TT" formation scored it's 12th victory in 23 years over Wilby Sat urday, in the traditional intra-city rivalry, by the decisive margin of 31 to 6. Approximately 5000 wind swept fans swarmed to the Muni- cipal Stadium on Saturday after noon to see the final local scholastic football game of the season. After having watched botn teams all sea- son it is the opinion of the writer that although this contest with Will by may not have been Crosbys hardest barrier to hurdle, the Blue and White squad was near the peak of perfection in this game.
 Scoring two touchdowns and one extra point during the first half of the ball game with com parative ease against a game Will by high squad, the East Main Streeters urged on by their super charged Dackfield of Pickett, Law Tor and Lombard tallied three more touchdowns in the closing two periods of the fast-moving contest. Crosby gained PTS yards rushing against 65 for Wilby while Crosby completed 3 out of 4 passes for 1i5 yards and Wilby approximately 90 yards. The lone '. approxiamtely 90 yards. The lone tally for Wilby was scored by Cav anaugh who pulled his way through the veteran Crosby line from the yard line, after three attempts.
 AS THE FANS SEE IT:
 (Ed. Note: This part of the col umn is based on the comments of various football fans and is writ ten for the fans and to the fans.)
 Big Eddie Keenan expressed the opinion at the beginning of the game that Wilby had the makings of good football team and that they would certainly put up good fight. (Ed Note: And they certainly did put up more of fight and play ed better game than was expected of them).
 All the traditional local color was present at this game last Saturday afternoon although the contest was not played at the original time on Thanksgiving Day morning. Both schools had bands blaring. and the student bodies turned out at full strength to back them up.
 There were so many fans seeking admission to the game on Saturday afternoon that four gates were opened and even these were unable 90 handle the overflow adequately.

The east dominates the second team with six men, the west plac- ing three and the south two.
 It lines up like this: Ends, Hank Bony, West Chester, Pa, and Larry Berger, San Diego State; tackles, Ed Marshall, Swarthore, and Bill Carlin, Ursinus; guards, Jim Eanes, Catawba, and Charles Diliberiti, Rutgers; center, Don Ross, Rutgers, and backs, Joe Perry, Compton college, Charles Gabriel of Catawba, Tom Dorsey of the Coast Guard and Ken Bonatus, San Diego State.
 The first team backfield is one that man-for-man rates considera- tion on any all-American team. TrojanoWski, the Connecticut ace, led the nations scorers with 132 points. Schlinkman was one of the outstanding backs in the south- west. Boswell came back from year in the South Pacific with the Mar ines to spearhead the Oberlin at tack and his coach calls him one of the nations outstanding ball carriers and passers despite his lack of publicity. Began is one of those "cracy legged" guys who is as hard to catch as the daily double at Jamaica.
 On the line they're all rough, tough customers who could carry their share of the work in any, bodys stadium and before any size crowd. They're liable to CD it as pros, too, so step up and meet 'em, gents.
