Supporters of the coast league have
long-advocated that it be elevated

also been talk that a major league
franchise might be moved to Los

To combat this. last possibility,
the Pacific Coast league will pro-
pose a n amendment to the major

would make invasion of a minor

The proposed amendment would

of North Carolina State were look

The Tar Heels mauled the Uni
versity of Virginia, 40 to IA, Sat-
urday and then picked off the rip
est plum in the way of Bowls
available to Southern teams-The
New Orleans Sugar Bowl.
The Wolfpack whipped the Uni

the second annual Gator Bowl at

Charlie Justice & Co. drew the
toughest possible opponent in the
University of Georgia, all victories

The show in New Orleans will
match the Asheville "Choo-Choo"

should provide the most fireworks
of any of the ~post-season classics,
especially if the boys flash the form
they showed Sunday.
Justice, still limping from q leg
injury, won the conference scoring
championship as he dashed to three
touchdowns against Virginia and
literally demoralized the Cavaliers
who at one time fought from IA
points behind to tie the score.
Trippi also scored three times as
the Bulldogs smothered Georgia

The sensational finish by North
Carolina slightly overshadowed the
feat of Howard Turner, the Rocky

ed that meat supplies may become
increasingly scarce, with produc-
ton falling off 1000, 900, 900 (b)
