Big 9 Teams To Rose Bowl?

Chicago, Oct. 30 -(UP)- If the Western Conference formally ap- proves the signing of Rose Bowl agreement, selection to play in the post-season clasic will not be re- jected by any Big Nine member, Commissioner Kenneth L. Wilson indicated today.
 The winner of the Conference championship will receive the Rose Bowl bid annually, with the only restrictive provisions being that a team could not make the trip more than once every three years.
 Speculation whether member school might reject Bowl bids devel- oped because of the stern opposition by some, notably Illinois and Min nesota, to signing the agreement with the Pacific Coast Conference.
 While we have differences among Conference members" Wilson said, "once question is submitted to for nal vote, and then acted upon, all schools generally go along with the will of the majority. That I am sure, is the way 1t would be on the Rose Bowl question"

 Thus far in 1946 5,491 ,102 persons have attended home games at the schools surveyed as compared with 3,674,077 for the same number of games last year.
 Most of the increase was attribut- ed to arrival at last of the long pre- dieted golden era" in sports and followed a similar trend established in Major League baseball, horse racing, basketball, golf and other key sports this year.
 Almost Double
 The greatest increase by far was in the Southwest where such show window teams as Texas and Rice have brought about 8 hike of eos PC1SVAAo HI dpuEAA0d4AOC OtCA b41G oSb1AlC time 8 year ago.
 The Midwest was next with crowds up SIT percent while the South showed 53.S percent rise. The Rocky Mountain region at tendance was up 46.8 percent, the East 3S,5 percent, and the Pacific Coast, 24.7 percent.
 In a number of instances, 1e46 attendance with the season little more than half completed, is great CT than the entire 1945 total. Only schools which played full varsity schedules in 1945 were included.
 Michigan with a total of 377,23l for five against 220,732 last year had the largest attendance of any college in the nation. Pennsylvania was tops for the East with a mark of 271,000 for four games against 220,000 year ago.

Down the Drives With the EIks

A very odd coincidence now exists in the standing of the Elks Bowling League, which rolls five nights each week in two divisions. Two teams, captained by Bill Verriker and Joe Seery share the lead in the Amer ican division; two teams led by Con- nie Larson and Roland Boucher lead the National division, while Cooke and Cavanaugh outfits are tied for runner-up to Verriker and Seery in the American.
 Patrick (Coach) Cronin of the Mulville Reindeers, defending champions of the league showed last week that he can practice what he breaches; by inserting himself in the lineup; rolling 125 single; $40 total and winning the middle game by one pin; when he scored a double stride in the ninth and tenth boxes. So now he is known as Clutch" Cronin, that rollicking Reindeer man from Brooklyn.
 At the end of weeks of bowling the standing follows:

BX WIN MALONEY Tech Favored Over Wildcats


 On the basis of reports which in- dicate that Wilby will field c badly crippled football array on Saturday, Leavenworth Is favored to win this first game in the intra a-city football series this season. Last Friday night when Coach Tom Purcell stated def initely that Jimmy Ahrens, Wilby's "Galloping Ghost" was not hurt too badly and that he would rejoin the team in practice sessions this week, this game was rated 6 tossup. How ever since then unofficial reports state that Jackie Rush, the Wildcat quarterback, will be on the bench Saturday, with q knee injury, Ahrens will not start because of an injury to his arm and Tom Browns first string status Is still questionable be- cause of 6 sprained ankle which he sustained in the game lest week. It Is entirely possible that these boys may be ready for action by Satur- day and if this is the case Leaven- worth and Wilhy will go into the game at even money.
 4V NHbC JkAAS o0n0Ok1 4G6tSAAW0ltl1 has won four successive contests from Manchester, Commercial, Ham den and Weaver, to be the only local team to remain undefeated. The backfield combination of Nick Lo- Russo, Steve PeFFene, Joe Massota, and Eddie Bowman plus the reserve strength of Joe Mancini, Dom Mar tinelli and Dave Miklenovich, has clicked this season and they are con- sidered formidable opponent for Wilby this week. The Big Red line deserves Q lot of credit for it's per- formanee also. Both teams have looked very good although there is plenty of room for improvement.
 If Wilby Is able to field its regular backfield of Becchia, Rush, Datelle and Ahrens this game on Saturday should be very interesting. The Yale Dartmouth game won't have any thing on Waterbury.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6 (ANP y
Extradition of Joshua Barren,
paroled arsonist of Bogalousa, La,
to face charges of rape of an eld-

fused by Judge Harld G. Ward,
chief justice of the Cook county

Barren's story of how he had been
arrested and indicted on March
II, 1912; convicted and sentenced
two days later to the penitentiary
on charges of arson, before he
could arrange for his defense.
The alleged rape by Barren was
said to have taken place after he
returned home from the two-year
prison term. Barren stated he had
been warned by a prison officer
not to return, as he would be
framed if he did. Disregarding this
warning, the parolee went back to

BEAUTIES HINTS
Sick-abed Reading
May Impair Vision
BY ALICIA HART
NEA STAFF Writer

Don't read when YOU have a head
cold or during a convalescence,
when eyes are weak. The girl who
uses a sick-abed idleness to catch
up on her reading is enriching her
mind at the expense of her eyes.
Treat these precious allies with
the consideration they deserve. and
you won't read at any time while
lying down. Any position for read
ing-and that goes for any close
seeing-other than sitting erect,
puts a strain on both your body
and your eyes.
AS bad as reading lying down
is reading in a moving vehicle or
in a hay light.
Because eyes glued TO a book
are fatigued easily they need
periods of rest during long reading
sessions. SO. stop after 20 minutes
OF peering at print and either close
your eyes or look of into distance.
After an hour and half of read
ing. close your book, and 80 back
to it when eyes have had a rest
and a change Of scenery.
