Game Would Pit Cadet
Power Against Alabama's
Star Harry elmer
BY MORTIMER KREEGER

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6-tA-l1
the Army football team wants a
post-season game, the Sugar Bowl
is ready to provide the most suit
able opposition for the nations NO
l, eleven.
There has been no official indi-
cation that the West Point author
tiles are ready to turn loose thel1
Cadets in a New Years day en-
gagement. But assuming they did,
here's the situation:
With no commitment to any con-
ference or section, the Sugar Bowl
could match Army with Alabama,
a very close third in the Assoclat'
ed Press weekly poll to determine
the country's best clubs, or with
St. Mary's, the scourge of the far
west, rated No. S. The highest :
ranking antagonist in sight for
Army in the Rose Bowl appears
to be Washington, notched at No,
IS on the basis of only seven votes
in the balloting system.
Both Notre Dame ana Navy, rat
ed No. 2, and No. 4, respectively,
are on Army's regular schedule.
and will not play in any bowl
game, anyway.
Fred Digby, sports editor of the
New Orleans Item, editorially
summed up the local viewpoint:
'1'm dreaming about Army VS.
Alabama. And why not? Army
wouldn't want to 60 west to
slaughter those insignificant ag-
gregations that represent the Pa
cific Coast conference, and neither
would Alabama. But offer Ala
bama to Army, or vice versa, and
you'd likely get a double-qulck &C.
ceptance.
Local folks adduce couple OF
sentimental reasons why Army
should play here January /:
Diff Jones, West Point athlet-
ic director, while head coach at
Louisiana State university was one
of the original group who put up
personal cash to guarantee sue
cess of the Sugar Bowl.

Welfare Board Seeks
Foster Homes, Aides
To Relieve Demands

The Board of Public Welfare yes
terday received reports of difficulties
in finding temporary foster homes
and in recruiting personnel for in
stitutions.
Mrs. Robin Miller, superintendent
OF special services of the board,
said serious conditions still exist
regarding the need for placement
homes for children"
Her report showed the board has
121 infants in Its care, compared
with IS last July, and 60 additional
infants are awaiting placement in
homes.
This increase, the board said, was
due in part to the Baby Broker Act,
which requires the licensing OF child
placement agencies. The law has
reduced the number of persons
handling child placement work, and
placed larger number Of infants
in the boards care.
Additional case workers are being
sought to relieve the situation, but
efforts have shown little improve
ment, it was said. The homes are
needed until a permanent one is
found.
The board also reported there
was little promise of prompt relief"
in recruiting personnel for institu-
tions. The worst conditions, it said
exist at the District Training School
at Laurel, Md, where there are IS
vacancies. If II conscientious OBJ
jectors working there are released
soon, the situation will be pre-
carious." the board declared.
Present recruitment, it was said
is limited to persons who are avail
able as surplus to the Government,
and to veterans. The board said it
was hoped veterans would qualify
under the civil service for these
positions.
