be decided today whether Red

Into Difficulty In

Los ANGELES, Dec. 14.-(R
Here's what happened when
the UCLA Bruins showed up in
the Jog today to begin practice
for the game with Illinois in the
Rose Bowl Jan. /:
Coach Bert La Brucherie or
dered passing drills, and the
squad laughed. One player
couldn't see another is feet
away.
Then they tried kicking field
goals for q while. The kicker
couldn't see the goal posts. but
La Brucherie stationed a play
er directly below the cross bar
with instructions to yell If the
kick was good.
Finally, the coach sent them
all on a EAST trot" around the
quarter-mile track skirting the
field. This usually takes little
more than one minute. The
squad disappeared into the fog
and five minutes later reap
peared from the opposite direc-
ton, huff.ng and putting.
La Brucherie took it with
good nature.

BEARS TACKLE
GIANTS TODAY
FOR PRO TITLE

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-R)-The
Chicago Bears and the New York
Giants, professional footballs two
"wingest" clubs down through
the years, collide in the Polo
grounds tomorrow in the National
Leagues World Series, and a lot
OF folks will be surprised no end
II the Bears don't bring home the
pot of honey.
The greatest crowd and the gau-
diest gate in the 14-year history OF
this annual championship playoff
already were a cinch when the
box offices shut down tonight and
the sellout sign was busted off, as
Tar as reserved seats we're con-
cerned. All but a very few of the
grandstand and temporary field
rows were gone, leaving only A.,
600 general admission bleacher
pews for the pre-game rush be-
fore the 2:05 pm. (EST) kickoff.
And as a result it was just about
a. money-back guarantee that
more than $4,000 customers would
chip in to a $3.50, 900 melon to sit
in on the moleskin mayhem.
Champions Of the west, the
monsters of the midway were
strong favorites tonight to come
numbering in with their fifth league
championship since this East
West clash for the crown was first
started back in 1888. But during
the day the betting boys appar-
emily came around to deciding that
maybe the Christmas spirit had
gotten the better of them in the
last few days when they made the
Bears a 10-point choice. So they
did a rapid about. face and cut the
the price down to a mere seven,
no doubt remembering that the
last time the windy city pigskin-
ners and stout Steve Owens war
riors tangled. a few weeks ago,
the Giants practically beat the
hides off the Bears.
