Haqerfy Goes Il Blind Prepping for Rams

Getting Georgetown's eleven ready
for Friday nights game with Ford
ham at Grifiith Stadium is strictly
guesswork for Coach Jack Hagerty,

correctly.
"I've heard that Ed Danowski has
20 veterans back. plus wealth Of

this will be their first game and
nobody knows exactly how good they
are. We don't know what sort of
an offense they're using. but we'll

mately 1900 hardy fans, includ-
ing many fur-coated women,
established a beachhead outside
Fenway Park during the chilly
night intent on being in the
first wave to acquire rush"
bleacher seats for the third
World Series game.
Grover Cleveland Gilmore,
a Brookline butcher with all the
time in the world on his hands,
still held the coveted first spot.
He acquired the position late
Monday night and was still going
strong.
He was fortified with a radio
presented by kindly woman, a
couple of quarts Of port wine
from solicitous dealer and
other gifts to make his long vigil
more comfortable. His wife was
carrying his meals.
The Red Sox management ex-
pected that the line might reach
a total of $500, the number OF
tickets available for rush
bleacherites.
The blare of radio music
echoed through Lansdowne street,
near the bleacher office, while

Big Nine pondering
Chance 10 Govern
Rose Bowl Choice
sy ,hs As.eeie,ss Press

CHICAGO, sOct. "a fve-year
contract, whereby the Western Con-
ference would gain unprecedented
prestige as well as lush cash returne
by controlling the selection Of teams
to meet the Pacific Coast represent
ative in the Rose Bowl. is being put
to vote for rejection or approval
by the nine conference members.
Ohio State, Iowa and Indiana un-
ofncially were reported to favor the
post-season football arrangement,
with Michigan a possibility. The
only definite action, however. has
been taken by the Illinois faculty
senate which voted disapproyal.
Illinois probably viii be joined on
the negative side by Minnesota and
possibly Purdue. There Is no hint
from Northwestern or Wisconsin,
although the former voted no when
Ohio State sought to play in the
Rose Bowl in 1914.
The faculty committees governing
athletics have been asked by the Big
Nine Faculty Committee to decide
the question and most Of them are
expected to call meetings within
the next two weeks. II the vote is
favorable the Rose Bowl tieup could
become effective in ample time for
the game next New Year Day.
Under the proposal, during the
first three years only a Western
Conference university would partici-
pate and for the remaining two
years any university designated by
the Big Nine could be named (thus
Notre Dame, Michigan State and
Marquette could represent the Mid
west II the conference so desired
Notre Dame, which follows closely
Big Nine standards, has made one
appearance in the Rose Bowl, beat
ing Stanford, 27-10, in 1920.
Payment of expanses, plus a Ger
tain share of the receipts, would
be split equally among the Big Nine
members.
Alfred r. Masters, general ath-
tletics manager at Stanford, and
Clinton w. Davis, manager Of ath-
letics at the University Of Califor-
mia, expressed hope that the Big
Nine would accept the proposed
hookup. Unofncially. it was be-
ueved the Pacific Coast Conference
unanimously would agree to the
pact.

BOSTON, Oct. 9.-The World

through the years has had its share
of ugly ducklings" who came out
of the shadows of obscurity to steal
the thunder from the more pub
licized stars, may produce another

Scarcely noted amidst such satel-

the slender 23-year -old native of
Portsmouth, Ohio, who only two
weeks ago was in Manager Eddie
Dyer's doghouse, teamed up with
Pitcher Harry CThe Cat) Brecheen
to make the second game of the
series a two-man show.
Besides handling perfect game
for Brecheen and calling for
pitches which set the mighty Will
hams down four times without a
safety, once via the strikeout route
Rice batted 1000, with a lusty dou-
BILE off the left-fleld wall, single

games the Cards participated in
