COLLEGE FOOTBALL
 STARTING

NEW YORK. Sept 21.-College football gets off to a running start today in what has been billed as the sports biggest and best cam paign and the usual early-season SetupS for name" teams may offer a few surprises.
 Returning servicemen and over loaded squads make the normally hazardous profession of prognosti- caticn doubly risky in this first big postwar season, the only certainty Icing that every team has much more to offer than it's wartime pre- decessors.
 All eyes will be on West Point, where Army gets off to it's earliest start in 56 years of pigskinning, Villanova, the Cadets $40 victim of 1945.
 Only other contests slated for the east are Lehigh at Kings Point and Otterbein- West Virginia.
 Indiana, champion of the Big Nine last year opens against Gin Cinnati at Bloomington Illinois, an expected Western Conference pow erhouse, meets Pitt at Pittsburgh; Iowa entertaihs North Dakota State; Purdue plays host to Miami of Ohio, and Wisconsin is at home to Marquette.
 Missouri, favored to repeat as champion of the Big Ten, meets Texas, its conqueror in the l946 Cotton Bowl and champion of the Southwest, in a game worthy of late season. Iowa State meets Colorado University at Boulder and Kansas battles Christian in a night game at Kansas City.
 In the South. Clemson meets Presbyterian, Davidson engages Erskine, Richmond clashes with Randolph-M Macon and V.MI. faces CataWba

Cards, Dodgers
 Will Play 0fi In Case Tied
BY JOE REICHLEP CAP SPORTS WRITER ,

What was mere conjecture a week ago has taken on aspects of probability as National League President Ford Prick announced to- day that in the event of the Rrocklyn Dodgers and St Louis Cardinals finish the regular sea son in a tie for first place, there will be three game pest season playoff between the two contenders.
 Not until the deadlock becomes a fact, however, will Prick name a play ing site, which in all likeli- hood will be a neutral field
 Naturally such a situation would involve the setting back of the World Series, perhaps a full week. Scheduled to start Wednesday, Oct ?, in a National League park, the fall classic probably will be push cd back to Oct. g, with the Oct. ? date given over to the Cards and Dodgers.
 Hanging on for dear life. the bat tling Brooks today were only one game behind the Cards, confident that they can catch the Red Birds at the final pole.
 The Dodgers move to Boston to- day for a series of three games, eliminating in tomorrows double header. Then they shift back to Ebbets' Field for a final week of play against the Philadelphia Phil lies and the Braves, with Thursday and Friday off.
 The Cards, idle yesterday, begin a three game series in Chicago to- day and return to St Louis to tackle the Reds twice before clos ing out the season with a three game set with the Cubs,
 With typical Dodger pluck, the Dodgers came from behind to de- feat the Reds 5-3 yesterday Trail ing 20 in the last half of the fifth, the Brooks garnered their first run off Johnny Vandermeer in 29 innings on Joe Medwiek's s producing poke, and then Dixie Walker came through with three run homer to climax four run inning.
 The Detroit Tigers took advantage of Cleveland's use of almost an en- tire rookie squad to scalp the h. dianS 15-1.

 ROUNDUP
(BY HUGH FULLERTON

NEW YORK, Sept 21-As an aftermath of the recent National Boxing Association convention, the NBA is distributing to boxing commissions and other interest," ed parties a scholarly circular per taining to a change in the weight limits of boxing classes The NBA already has empowered it's executive board tG lift the limits to 115. 122, 130, 140, 150, 165 and 180 pounds from 112, 118, 126, 135, AT, 160 and 175.
 At considerable length the cir cular points out that weight linn it's have been hoisted in the past, usually by champion who couldn't make the lighter poundage, and adds: vital statistics indicate that boxers, like the race in general, are getting bigger. One medical author ity attributed it to the attention paid to vitamins, diets, improve sment in hygiene, sanitation, medi- cal care and greater number of hours spent out of doors"
 Wonder how come all those things haven't produced even on heavy weight who can give Joe Louis a Tussle?

With Trying To
'Sfurve' Workers

Boyertown, Pa. (ILNS)-The State
Federation Of Labor is demanding of
Governor Martin the dismissal of the
entire staff of the Pottstown office Of
the Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation as a result Of the latter's
attempt to assist the Boyertown Cas-
ket Co. by illegally delaying for sew
eral weeks payment of unemployment
compensation due the striking men,
bers of Local 406, Upholsterers' In
ternational Union of North America.
The state officials are charged with
seeking to "starve" the strikers into
breaking ranks and returning to work
through denying them their payment
for two successive Today periods on
the illegal ground that an investiga-
ton was being made of the eligibility
fo. payments of several allegedly
non-striking employees.
Following the demand for action
against the public officials, it was re-
vealed that the superintendent of the
Boyertown company is member of
the Local Offices employers Ad-
visory Board"
Despite the delay in compensation
payments, the strikers remained firm,
persisting in their refusal to return
to work until the company grants
needed wage increases and signs a
union contract.
