The Brooklyn NFL grid team SUBJ
sequently was merged with the Bos-
ton Yankees, who made their Ma
tional League debut last year under
Ted Collins ownership. It is be-
lieved Commissioner Elmer Layden
of the NFL will declare all Brooklyn
players free agents, but Topping re-
portedly is prepared to meet all Of
fers and he expects most of his
players to remain with him.
Holds NIL to 10 Teams.
Toppings action holds the NIL
roster to 10 teams, an ideal sched-
ule-making figure, and gives the
All-America nine. 1t is reported,
however, that the new circuit may
operate with eight teams, dropping
Baltimore from its plans. E. Bruce
Live, who holds the franchise in
that city, said the matter of Balti-
more's participation hinged on a de-
cision by the park board today
whether the municipal stadium will
be available to the team. With New
York in the fold Baltimore is not
needed to round out the circuit. A
ninth club is more handicap than
help, as the NFL discovered, and the
uncertainty of Baltimore's status,
which has been reported in and out
of the league a half dozen times
under as many sponsors, is against
its chances of being included.
Maury Nee, former Georgetown
grid star and Washington furniture
store operator, and his brother, Pete
Nee, originally had agreed to help
finance the Baltimore team, but they
since have dropped out of the pic
ture.
Other teams in the America
will be located in Buffalo, Cleveland,
Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles
and Miami.
Jimmy Crowley, former teammate
of Elmer Layden in Notre Danes
famed -Four Horsemen" backfield
and commissioner of the new circuit,
was 1ubilant over the leagues good
fortune in finally breaking into New
York. He said the loop had nu-
merous applications for the 10th
franchise, which will complete the
lineup, and that all clubs were well
| fixed with player talent.
Layden declined to comment,
pending official confirmation from
Topping of has action.
George Marshall, Redskin presi-
dent, said he wished Topping well in
his new venture, but that his de-
parture from the National Football
League would be no blow to that
circuit.

Georgia, Tulsa Picked
For Oil Bowl Game
BY the Associated Press.

HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 6.-The Oil
Bowl arises again to plague Dallas
Cotton Bowl.
Dormant for a year, this fledgling
among the post-season football
games, comes up with a star attrac-
ton in Tulsa and Georgia.
Georgia, winner of eight games
out of 10, and Tulsa, which lost only
two in nine, have accepted invita-
tions.
Tulsa will be playing in its fifth
bowl game in five years. Coach
Henry Frnka's record is this: De-
feated Tevas Tech, 60, in the Sun
Bowl of 1912; lost to Tennessee, AT
in the Sugar Bowl of 1943; lost to
Georgia Tech, 20-18, in the Sugar
Bowl of 1914, and defeated Georgia
Tech, 26-12, in the Orange Bowl of
1945.

Toppine's Jump to A.-A. Likely
To Shove Baltimore Off Grid
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.

Dan Topping is reported to have
received $250, 900 from the All-Amer-
lea Conference for jumping to that
circuit and his bolt from the 26-
year-old National Football League
probably knocked Baltimore out Of
an All-America franchise.
The money, it is reported, will be
used to install lights in Yankee
Stadium, one of the few parks still
not equipped for night play. More
over, under the new setup, Larry
MacPhail, president of the baseball
Yankees, and Del Webb, who off,
cially owns only a third of the
Yankee stock, but who unoficially
is credited with having a controll-
ing interest, will have a share in
Topping's football venture. This
was impossible under the old setup.
Topping, who lost small fortune
in Brooklyn with the football team,
also has a third interest in the
baseball Yankees and intends to
give that name to the grid team.
Thus the Yankees become the first
major league club to own both base
ball and football teams.
Mara Dispute Caused Jump.
Topping, recently discharged from
the Marine Corps after attaining
the rank of major, said he made
the break only after he and Tim
Mara, owner of the New York foot
ball Giants, failed to agree on home
playing dates for New York. He
said he would be willing to cooper
ate with Mara to avoid a conflict
in home dates under the new setup
but IF Mara doesn't want to work
with us We'll just have to take our
chances" Yankee Stadium can ac-
commodate at least $4,000 football
spectators as compared with the
Polo Grounds-Giants' home-top
figure Of $4,000.
Topping moved the Brooklyn
team out Of Ebbett's Field this sea-
son after Branch hickey, president
Of the Brooklyn Baseball Club, an
nounced the park would be avail
able only for 1915 as he intended
to establish his own football team
there in l946. Hickey later was
granted a franchise in the ALL
America Conference with William
Cox, one-time owner of the Phila-
delphis Phillies National League
Baseball team, as principal angel in
the venture. Cox was barred from
baseball by the late Commissioner
Lands for admittedly gambling on
games.

Tigers Far Different
Team After Finding
They Have Claws
BY BOB MCLEAN.

Around the scholastic loop the
talk is that Eastern should beat
Wilson by three touchdowns in the
l945 interhigh football champion
ship game tomorrow afternoon at
3 o'clock in Central Stadium. In
this book, however, Eastern will be
lucky to win and don't be surprised
If Wilson takes the title.
Sure, comparative records point
to an Eastern victory. Early this
season Eastern smashed Wilson,
800, in round-robin play. Eastern
is undefeated while Wilson also has
been whipped by Tech. Eastern
has piled up 153 points in seven vic
tories and Wilson has scored but
81. Only 46 points have been scored
against Eastern all season, while
opponents have managed to run up
80 on Wilson.
But this is the underdog's year
In scholastic football. Gonzaga
has beaten Boys Town, Anacostia
whipped Tech and Wilson knocked
off Coolidge, stunning upsets all.
Nothing would be more in the sea-
sons pattern than Wilson win
tomorrow.
Wilson a Changed Team.
More important. the Wilson tt
gers who face Eastern tomorrow
bear no resemblance to the kittenish
crew that soaked up that 800 beat
ing. Wilson'S stock was at an all
time low in midseason, when the
Tigers suddenly discovered that they
had claws. 1t was shortly after the
wnippings by Eastern and Tech that
the metamorphosis took place.
Wilson suddenly turned into a
winning team and stepped out to
knock of Coolidge, Anacostia, Roose-
welt and Western to Zoom into the
payoff tilt. What was behind the
sudden change is a secret known
only to Wilsonites. Some contend it
has been the play of Gene Taylor,
brilliant triple -threater who be-
came eligible after that Tech game
Others say Bob Leonard is behind
the inspired play. Leonard, rated as
merely fair back and an uncertain
starter at that, has developed into a
ball of fire.
Student Spirit Is High.
Most reasonable explanation, how
ever, Is that Wilson, like a small
man goaded by a bully, just took
all the abuse it could and suddenly
broke loose. The football spirit of
the Wilson student body is the
highest in town and that inspiration
may pay off tomorrow.
In Eastern, Wilson is facing the
famous backfield combination of
Sonny Settle, Jack Bobb, Bobby
Lyles and Jerry Osborne, quartet
that has galloped over everything in
sight, and Settle, Bobb and Lyles
we're stars of the 1914 champion
ship crew.
Hanging over Eastern's head,
however, is the thought that win
ming streaks have to stop some
time. You can't win EN- alE To-
morrow may be the day.

though he's still in service, Catcher
Walker Cooper today had become

The major league clubs had no

and the dope was that the New York
Giants. the Boston Braves and the
Pittsburgh Pirates were interested
in getting Cooper's contract from
the st. Louis Cardinals.
The Pirates were reported ready
to offer Catcher Al Lopez and the
Braves were ready to toss in Back

NEW YORK, Dec.N 6.-When
California converted its own

There was the matter of an

back because of interference by

strange affair at Princeton when
Yale punted only once In an en-
tire afternoon for q total yard
age of zero, but the California
incident was the queerest.
California had the ball on Its

over his head, bouncing to his

After sitting on the bench for

Kentucky back, got the sign to
enter the contest with West Vir-

Tribe Fears DooIan ,
Ex-Hoya Back They
Passed 10 Giants

NUNS the word around the wig
wam as the Redskins put the finish
ing touches to preparations for Sum
days game with the Giants at
Grifhth Stadium, but the board OF
strategy can't hide its concern about
the outcome Of the fray. Steve
Owen always has been tough for the
Tribe to beat, but one big thought
keeps haunting the masterminds-
suppose the lad who beats us is Jack
Doolan?
Doolan is the former Georgetown
express who had an all too brief
trial with the Redskins this autumn
following his discharge from the
Navy. He had grown up since leav-
ing the Hilltop without losing any
of his burning speed and he was
turned over to New York only after
hours of wrangling behind closed
doors with certain members of the
board stubbornly holding out to keep
him. But the Skins were top-heavy
with backs, most of them of proven
pro caliber, so Doolan got his walk
ing papers.
Last Sunday he began to show the
stuff expected of him as the Giants
walloped the Eagles, and it was
enough to send a wave of willies
through the wigwam. If he repeats
this Sunday the Tribe will be en-
barrassed in more ways than one.
