ministers Monday night broke
their months long deadlock
on the future of Trieste and
agreed on almost all the ma
jor issues which have divided
the Western and Eastern
Allies on the problem.
On the biggest point of dis
the question of who
should have the power to ap-
point and dismiss the police chief
of Trieste, Russian Foreign Minis
ter Viacheslav Molotov finally re-
coded from his stubborn stand.
He agreed with the United
States, Great Britain and France
to permit the governor Of the pro-
posed Trieste international zone
to name and dismiss the police
force in any emergency.
Smashing Of the deadlock, at a
s]upersecret Big -Four meeting at
the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, clears
the way for the early drafting Of
the final texts of five Axis satel-

of angry dispute. The five nations
are Italy, Romania, Bulgaria,
Hungry and Finland.

Beor-Redskin Clash Tomorrow
Heads Leagues 5-Gome Slate

The Cleveland Browns and New
York Yankees can clinch tie for
the titles in the two divisions of the
All-America Football Conference
and, with the proper cooperation
from the Los Angeles Dons, the
Yankees could win the Eastern
championship outright.
Only three games are scheduled
in the younger of the two major
professional circuits, but all of them
will have a direct bearing on the
title race. The Chicago Rockets
will be at Cleveland with the San
Francisco Forty Miners at New York
and Los Angeles invading the home
of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
A triumph for the Yankees would
give them a record of eight victories,
two losses and tie, with three
more games to play. The Dodgers,
runners-up in the Eastern Division,
must defeat the Dons to retain
mathematical chance to share in
the title.
Cleveland can boost its record to
nine wins and two losses by beating
Chicago, but it would take a San
Francisco defeat to enable the
Browns to sew up a share of the
Western crown. With six victories
and four defeats, the Forty Miners
now are only two games behind the
Browns.

A win or tie for Tech today in its
46th game against Central would
give it the place opposite Coolidge

The Colts are in by virtue of their
1870 triumph over Eastern, cham
pion for the previous two years,
yesterday. Yesterdays other game
returned Roosevelt a 1877 upset
winner over Western.
For Central to reach the playod
1t needs a win today plus another
next Friday against Anacostia in
addition to Roosevelt triumph over
Tech next Friday.
In earning another crack at the
title they held once before, in 1943,
the Colts turned on the steam for
third and fourth period totIchdowns
after a scoreless first half. A 65-
yard drive, led by Bobby Rohr, Jim
Studley and Stan King, earned the
first marker, Studley going the final
2 yards.
Tex Jones interception of Jerry
Osborne's pass and runback to the
Eastern 80 set up the last-period
tally. A 29-yard dash through

George Washington University,
which is closing its football season
against William and Mary today att
Grifith. Stadium in game start
ing at Q o'clock, promises to make
up for the lean home schedule pre-
sented this season with list OF
top-f1ight attractions the next few
years.
The Colonials played only Wayne,
Georgetown and the Indians at
home this year and the George
town game was on'the Hoyas' home
card.
G. WIS 1948 home schedule prob
ably will include either Duke or
North Carolina. while the Colonials
open a two-year series with the
University Of Miami next year, one
game to be played here. william
and Mary also will be back next
year. Other outstanding teams will
be announced, according to Max
harrington, director Of mems ac-
tivities.
William and Mary staked its
chances for the Southern Confer
ence title against the Colonials to-
day and ruled 28-point favorite,
although the Colonials scoffed at
the odds. An upset victory would
give g. w. perfect record in the
Southern Conference, but regula-
tions require team to play at least
four family foes to be eligible for
the title. G. w. played It's first
conference game last week in de-
feating the Citadel.
While the Colonials were making
the final home appearance of a
District college team in this area,
the other elevens were on the road.
Maryland and Washington and Lee
renewed an old rivalry in Baltimore
Stadium and Georgetown ruled a
slight favorite over rugged and
possibly underrated Scranton eleven
in the latter's stadium.

game, met Navy, which has won
only one game in Annapolis, with
