Crosby,Wilby Meet Tonight

Bookies around town, and there are many of them, have rated Crosby High a six-point favorite to defeat Wilby tonight in their annual con- test at the Grove street gym at S:3O.
 Crosby has beaten Watertown twice and the Alumni, while lowing to Torrington, Hamden and Bris- tol. Wilby has won from Watertown and Lewis but dropped decisions to St. Augustine's, Ansonia, Plainville, Leavenworth and Danbury. Crosby started strong, routing Watertownr 55-22, but dropped decisions to Tor rington and Bristol before losing a thriller to Hamden. Wilby has looked strong even in defeat and many of the Green and White followers are picking the Wildcats to win.
 Coach Jimmy Lee will probably show several changes in the lineup Johnny Girdzyauskas and Jimmy Steck may start at forwards with Don Synott at center, Win Pette- way and Pete Kuzmenko in the backcourt. Tom Purcell, Wilby mentor, may also show a couple of changes in his starting lineup. Earlie: in the week he shifted Center Jackie Danaher to guard and replaced hin with Jerry Becchia. Sullivan, Be. langer and Darlington are potential backcourt starters. Mario Quattrc and Buggy McGrath will open at for ward.

Brooklyn Grid Dodgers Revival Chances Slim

New York, Jan. 12-(UP)-The National football league, declaring A fight to the bitter end against the newly proposed All-America profess sional conference, voted yesterday to limit its membership to 10 teams and never again establish two franchises in the same city.
 The action means that the league will continue as now constituted ana did not affect the present situation in Chicago where the circuit has two active francflises-the Bears and the Cardinals.
 It was aimed at the All-America league, which will begin operations next fall, in that 1t precludes any possibility of any teams in that cir- cuit becoming members of the Na- tional league. The established pro circuit is operating on the theory that the all-AInerica may fail as a conference but that several teams, such as New York, Chicago and Cleveland, may establish strong teams that would attempt to join the National loop if the new league failed.
 The action also put an end to any possibility that the established Ma tional league eventually would ex- pand to include teams on the Pacific coast.
 Tn adopting the measure today, the National league club owners stipu- lated that to rescind the action would require the unanimous vote of all club owners.
 Indirectly, the measure also was aimed against the possibility of the old Brooklyn Tigers of the National league attempting to operate this year. Dan Topping, who owned the Tigers, disposed of his controlling in- terest In the franchise before he jumped to the All-America and there were reports that an attempt may be made to revive the Brooklyn team more as move to embarrass the National league than anything else.
 Earlier, the league adopted six rule changes recommended by it's rules committee but deferred action on the annual player draft.

I8 SchooL League Comes in 5 Days Next Week
|S2O,OOO GRID POST GIVEN BERT BELL

New York, Jan. l2-(UP) )--Bert Bell, 62-year-old co-owner of ehe Pittsburgh Steelers, inherited Q S2O,- O0O- -a-year headache todaye succeeo- ing Elmer Layden as coEhnlissloner of the National Professional Foot ball League on the eve of Q bitter battle for players and for fan sup- port with the new All-America Con- ference.
 Layden resigned last night during an executive session of club owners in which he said he was relinquisl1- ing the post because of some per sonal plans for the future" .
 The owners made 1t apparent that there was no serious friction which might have prompted the act by Iayden when they offered him the same ,OO0-a-year salary to re main with the league in an advisory capacity.
 Has Strength To Return
 "r am taking that offer under consideration, and 1t would be naro to turn down, because it has been Q grand experience to work for the National League" Layden said.
 Although there was some opposi- ton among the owners to Layden's regime, it was believed he had the necessary strength for reelection In which the vote of seven of the 10 clubs Is required.
 Bell was given a three-year con. tract at the $20,00O figure and VIII set up new National League head quarters in New York as soon as ne disposes of his team properties m Pittsburgh. With Art Rooney, he shared ownership of the Steeler franchise. He indicated that he might sell his portion to his partner.
 Bell. A talkative energetic former football player, takes over at one oI the most critical times in the 1o- wear history of the National League. Although almost certain to etnnark on a period of prosperity the own CTS are concerned over the competi- lion of the All-America, which al- ready has raided the National ranks for star players and which may m time battle it for gate receipts
 Hell Unanimous Choice
 The owners unanimously decided mon Bell as the natural represen.- alive from their ranks to rule with a firm hand. Layden had been crit. icized in some quarters for his milo manner and refusal to take the All- America seriously.
 lust what Layden's personal plans are he would not say, but he em- nhasized that they had no connec- ton with football. ....
 Earlier yesterday, the club owners voted to limit its membership to lU teams and never permit estannsn- ment to TWO franchises in the same citv This did not affect the ar rangemerLt in Chicago where there are two clubs, the Bears and Caro- inals. ed by the rules committee but e. ton was deferred on the annual player draft.

BELL TICKLED
 TO HEAR BELL ENDING FIGHT

New York, Jan. l2- Jake La- Motta, Bronx middleweight, de- feated Tommy Bell of Youngstown, Ohio, on points in the feature bout q ten rounds at Madison Square Garden last night.
 A crowd of 16,OOO was present, LaMotta weighed 16i pounds and Bell 15OM. LaMotta had to weigh twice to make this poundage. The match was signed at 160 pounds give or take a pound, to accommo- date the Brondte's heavier stature. When he stepped on the scales, Lac Motta was at 1924 and 1t was necessary for him to work off the excess weight before being passed by Chairman Eddie Eagan of the State Athletic Commission.
 Jack Watson was the referee. The judges were Jimmy Hagan and Artie Schwartz.
 LaMotta started digging long left hooks into his rivals body with the opening bell and never stopped through the first round. The seS- sion was given over to open-range fighting, at which style LaMotta showed to advantage with his bull like rushes. Bell had a snaky left ,jab, but he made little use of it. Instead, he tried to meet LaMotta's s rushes with right crosses and his effectiveness suffered. Once, miss ing long right to the jaw, Bell fell face forward on the canvas.
 Bell Presses Attack
 Bell made greated use of his natural boxing ability in the sec- ond round and chopped and sliced at LaMotta through the session. A long left jab kept LaMotta at bay, and when he came tearing in with both hands ailing for the body, LaMotta invariably rushed into a right uppercut. Tn the last minute of the round, Bell stood toe to toe with his foe, ignoring LaMotta's relty drives to the body and bat tering LaMotta fliriously about the head and face with solid left hooks and right crosses.
 Bell used LaMotta as a punch ing bag through most of the third round. The Ohioan, Springing in sturdy rival, peppered LaMotta sturdy rival, peppered LaMotta ith ith snappy, polting left jabs to the Sace and repeatedly crossed 8 right to the head. LaMotta only occasionally got home with 8 left dig to the body or a right to the heart because Bells blows kept the Bronxite off balance. Tn the final few second of the round, however, LaMotta cut loose with a savage body fire which had Bell backing and bending.
 Bell slowed perceptibly in the fourth round. The crowd saw La- Motta outjabbing Bell with light stabs and Bell stood fiat-footed. Occasionally Bell shot right to tha jaw, but LaMotta crsS-r riot Ie tN Al-- ~I
